I LATEST RAIDS
OF VILLA IT
EL PASO, Tex., Aug 9 (by Asso
ciated Press).— Francisco Villa’s
army which advanced on Juarez with
the intention of conquering northern
Mexico and establishing rebel gov
ernment in the north, retired before
United States troops badly demoral
ized and disorganized, say. diserters,
impressed soldiers who escaped and
civilians who saw them at Villa
Ahumada.
After two days and nights of in
termittent fighting for possession of
Juarez, Villa had depleted his ammu
nition supply. A member of his staff
who came to the border after the re
tirement said many of Villa’s men
had no ammunition. Only Villa’s
bodyguard had more than 100 rounds.
Soldiers had thrown their rifles away
while crossing the desert with the
American cavalry in pursuit.
Villa’s telegrapher, who escaped
from Villa at Villa Ahumada, report
ed to Mexican officials in Juarez that
the rebels were without food, and
that their morale was very low.
Dissentions took place among Vil
la’s men after the Juarez battle.
Martin Lopez, who led the fighting in
Juarez, is said to have denounceed
Villa and accused the bandit leader
of deceiving his men into believing
the United States government would
recognized the Villa revolution, and
American troops would not molest
them when they attacked Juarez.
Another report reaching the border
stated Villa selected 2,000 picked men
from his forces and started south
toward Parral, announcing that “he
could not fight the Americans,” and
saying he was going bock to the
mountains. Villa’s activities in the
vicinity of Parral recently would tend
to confirm this report. General An
geles was reported to have separated
from Villa and to be hiding in the
hills near the border.
Villa partisans here denied that
Villa’s army was demoralized. They
say one of Villa’s tricks is to scatter
his forces after a battle and then re
assemble them when he is ready to
conduct another campaign. Pilar de
Conchos, on the Conchos river near
Parral, is said by Villa’s agents here
1 to be the rendezvous for Villa’s
forces, and all of the bands are drift
ing in that direction.
WOMEN OF POLAND
TAKING THEIR PART
IN FRONTIER WARFARE
WARSAW, Poland, June 28 (by
mail).—It is estimated that there are
4,000,000 destitute persons in Poland,
I including 2,000,000 mothers and chil
dren. For five years the struggling
armies of Russia and the Central
powers swept back and forth over
the country. Thousands of houses
and buildings were destrovsd.
Now that peace has settled upon
the rest of the world, Poland is still
engaged in frontier warfare. From
the Baltic to the Carpathians, on a
front three times the length of the
former western one, the Poles are
mobilized. Even women and girls
are performing military service, not
- as their French and American sisters
were, in hospitals and ambulances,
but on the firing line with rifles in.
their hands.
Despite these conditions the new
Polish government is making a de
termined effort to care for its civil
ians, with the assistance of allied re
lief agencies. The American Red
Cross has already sent to Poland a
dozen train loads of supplies, cloth
ing, medicines, and children’s food.
What this has meant to the ^ew re
public is summed up in the state
ment of a Polish government official
who told the Red Cross workers:
“You are saving a race which has
struggled for independence for hun
dreds of years, and are winning their
everlasting gratitude and friendship.”
RAISING SUNKEN"sHIPS
’ ATTENDED BY PERILS
LONDON, July 4 (Correspondence
of Associated Press).—Salvage crews
face death in many ways trying to
save the vessels sunk in the war by
German submarines. One of the
most perilous incidents of this serv
ice was that of a navy commander
who cut away the nose of a live tor
pedo that had become jammed in the
deck of a destroyer. So dangerous
was the task that the naval authori
ties towed the destroyer three miles
out to sea before they would permit
the attempt.
This salvage work has advanced
very rapidly and become very profita
ble. Submersible lifting devices
never before thought of have been
devised and put into successful oper
ation. Dangers from gases due to
decaying grain cargoes have been
eliminated by scientific research. Div
ing appliances have been greatly im
proved.
The cutting of steel plates under
water is now only a detail, and the
construction of the standard hatch to
cover holes in hulls has reached the
point where it is now merely a part
of the day’s work of the salvage men.
SEAPLANE FLIGHTS TO
ALASKA POSTPONED
UNTIL NEXT SUMMER
Forerunning the inauguration of a
Seattle to Ketchikan and Juneau
aerial mail service, a seaplane will
be sent from Seattle to Ketchikan
next spring by the Boeing Airplane
company of Seattle, to demonstrate
the feasibility of such a service, ac
cording to W. E. Boeing, president
and founder of the company, who is
touring Alaskan waters in his yacht.
The trial was planned for this sum
mer but has been put off.
“We have postponed our plans for
this year,” said Mr. Boeing, “because
of a desire to have a perfect machine
before starting.”
Plans have been perfected by this
company to send a Boeing seaplane to
Ketchikan and Juneau this summer to
demonstrate the efficiency of such a
service to the government. It was
due to the efforts of Mr. Boeing and
his associates that the government
promised such a mail service within
a year.
The reason for the postponement of
the demonstration, according to Mr.
Boeing, has been the lateness with
which the plane, which is an abso
lutely new type, has been perfected.
“The new seaplane had its first
demonstration last Sunday,” said Mr.
Boeing, “and there are still a few fine
details to be perfected. It is called
the B-l type. It has a speed of 90
miles per hour, and will go 450 miles i
without a stop. It has a capacity of j
three passengers besides the mail and
pilot. We hope to make the trial
early next spring.”
We always have a supply of
pasteurized sweet milk and cream on
hand. Also buttermilk and Bulgarian
buttermilk. City Dairy. Phone 187.
