RENSSELAER, INDIANA, TUESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1913.

ENSIGN BRENNER WRITES GOOD LETTER

Describes Battle Bteween Mexican Federals and Rebels—Now Hay_i____ing. Target Practice. Ensign James E. Brenner, in a private letter written while on board the U. S. S. Pittsburg, off the western coast of Mexico, says in part: “Well, we had it guessed correctly when we picked out first duty to be in Mexican waters. Had a hard time before they got us here, but after .being assigned to ar navy yard and four different ships we finally got to the Pittsburg and are well straightened out now. “The climate is tropical and we find It hard to work much during the heat of the day, which calls for considerable night work as the ship is getting ready for target practice the first of September, and being a ship just put in commission there is no end to work. I have been assigned to a gun division with 12 six-inch guns. This gives me six guns as there are only two' officers in the division and we will probably not get another before target practice. 'We have 110'men In the division and over half of them are recruits, but think that in six weeks time we will have them in very good shape. “Went ashore yesterday to take my walking test and Incidentally looked the town of Guaymas over. It is a typical Spanish town, except that nearly all of the merchants are Americans. It is a lively place, notwithstanding the fact that there is more or less fighting going on all of the time. The federal troops still hold the town, but are at the mercy of the rebels whenever they get ready to come in. They virtually took the town two weeks ago, but tlie federal troops entrenched themselves in a mountain pass back of the city after the retreat, and the rebels could not get to them as they have no field ar tillery or gunboats to storm the pass. They probably acted wisely by not occupying the'town, as the federals have two gunboats in the harbor which could easily destroy the town and since they could not capture the federal troops they had very little to gain. If the rebels could draw General Pedro’s troops out into an open fight it woudl probably end the revolution In this part of Mexico for a time, but Pedro seems to think too much of retreat to do much fighting. They had a slight skirmish just outside of the town at a village called En Palme yesterday. The rebels are holding this place and about fifty wounded federals were brought in. I could not find out how the engagement finally resulted. En Palme is composed mostly of Americans working in the Union Pacific shops, but these have nearly all left and formed a refuge camp on the beaclt under the protection of U. S. ships. \ “We leave here August 10th and will be relieved by the U, S. S. South Dakota and probably not have to come back here for at least 8 or 9 months. We go to San Francisco and then to San Diego for target practice. From there we understand unofficially that we go to Honolulu and then to China, Japan and Manila. “We found San Francisco a very lively place, but a mighty expensive one. If the present high cost of living maintains there during the Panama exposition, as it no doubt will, it will take a young fortune to take In the big events. The grounds for the exposition are all cleared now and most of the buildings aTe under way, which should insure completion In plenty of time. They are going into the advertising sidq to the limit and should draw immense crowds. “There is no mail service down here and I have not had any mail since I left home, which is about the worst part qf being here. This ship has been here since June sth this time and since last December with the exception of three weeks, and everybody is anxious to get north again. “Bray and Shine, who were at Rensselaer with me and who made the trip to San Francisco with me, are both here now and ask to be remembered to their friends.” Ensign Brenner’s letter was written on July 27th, and arrived here August 22nd, so the extent of the trip (an be realized.

JACK JOHNSON IS CHEERED IN LONDON

Pugilist Finds Favor in British Town Where Color Line is Not Tightly Drawn. The British, not accustomed to drawing the color line, seem to be disposed to accept John Arthur Johnson, colored pugilist, as a sort of hero, although there is an undercurrent of sentiment against his appearance in music hall engagements there. White performers, particularly, are objecting to making their appearance on the same stage with the discredited negro pugilistic champion. Johnson says that he is going to give the public music halls where he is billed a two days’ test to find out if the public wants him to show. If it does he will fill his engagements.

MRS. MARSHALL MAXES MANY SOCIAL CALLS

Wife of Vice President Sets New Record Tor Getting About National Capital. Mrs. Thomas R. Marshall, wife of the vice president, has broken all precedents and established the mosF remarkable"social"rScbrcTever made by the wife of a vice president or of a cabinet member. Sinee March 4 Mrs. Marshall has made between one thousand five hundred and one thousand six hundred calls and has scratched every name from her card book, with the exception of those of persons living outside of Washington. “It has been a great pleasure to me,” declared Mrs. Marshall, “and t can not sufficiently show my appreciation of the generous way in which the people have shown their interest in us and our position. Instead of being the disagreeable task which had been pictured, all my trips about Washington have been interesting.” The record is more remarkable than would otherwise be the case, because the social exclusiveness which surrounds the wife of a vicepresident. The well * established social eode requires that the wif« v of a vice president shall make a first call on the wife of the president. The entire social world, official and otherwise* must make .the first call on her. Her obligation to return visits is limited to the women of the cabinet and the supreme court and wives of ambassadors, and, of course, those who bav* entertained her or extended invitations to dinners, luncheons or receptions.

Jeweled Kneelet Adds to Split Skirt’s Eye-Strain.

Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 25.—Kneelets, made of gold and some of them set with precious stones, have appeared npofi Chestnut street. Worn by the fair promenaders who favor the slit skirts, they are one step more, daring than the golden anklets, which startled the gazers a year ago. They apparently are made to fit closely just below the knee and to glisten and glitter as the wearer's stride causes the slit in her skirt to tjpen and close. One of the most reputable jewelry houses admits that it is receiving a greater demand for them than it can supply. It asserts that It is furnishing them to women in exclusive society circles as well as to patrons from the stage

Sergeant Garland in the Money in President’s Match.

An interesting letter from Sergeant Jerry Garland, who is attending the national rifle matches at Camp Perry, Ohio, states that Capt. Black, Sergeant Jarrett and himself were inside the money in the President’s match. Garland made 88 at the skirmish, 46 at 600, 43 ai surprise Are and 62 out of a possible 75 at 1000 yards. His surprise fire was the poorest he had made this year, but the shooting conditions were not the best. Captain Van Auken had been well up until the 1000 yards range was reached when he fell to 48 out of possible 75 and ended outside. Snyder and Goodwin were only one or two points outside the money. The third regiment team got eighth place in the regimental team match. The team was composed of Black, Van Auken, Deal, Snyder, Goodwin and Garland. Van Auken and Deal were the low men, but all did very good shooting. The total was 797 out of a possible 800. Sergeant Garland will be in the free rifle team, which Is a 200-metre match at standing, kneeling and prone positions without the use of the strap. An effort will be made to keep the Indiana team for the international matches.
