The two who escaped were pursued, but the trail was lost in the mountain

It was definitely established that Jesus Renteria, leader of the outlaw hand t at captured Lieuts. Harold G. Peterson and Paul H. Davis, American aviators, was not among the dead. Captain Matlack said he passed a column of 200 Carranza troops below the border yesterday. The Carranza commander asked where the Americans were going. When he was informed they were pursuing bandits, he waved his hand and said “go ahead.” t Maj. Gen. Joseph T. Dickman, commander of the southern department, announced tonight that he would remain here tomorrow to go over the Big Bend district situation with Col. George T. Langhorne. He had planned to return to San Antonio tonight. Far Below Border. W'hile the exact location of the troops was withheld for military reasons. it is known they have tone so far into the interior that it is necessary to send money to commanders so they may purchase supplies. The line of communication is getting too long to transport provisions, it was stated. Capt. Matlack came from Mexico at sunset in an airplane driven by Lieut. Eugene Eubank, who landed in a Mexican mountain valley, picked up the captain and returned with him to report the progress of the punitive expedition to Gen. Dickman. Milti&ck said the American troops are in high spirits. “Every one in the expeditionary force i- well,” he said. “We have had no casualties, except one man who had a cactus thorn in his hand. “We are making progress in *he pursuit. Hard storms have slackened our speed somewhat hut we consider that we made good time. “After leaving the Rio Grande Monday morning soon after daylight, the expedition followed a fresh trail. The four men to whom the money had been paid had a start of more than five hours on us.

Because she is a rather poor looking bird most men and women are inclined to sell her and To keep the nice, fat, smooth looking hens that have done nothing all summer except grow feathers. Generally, it is the smooth, clean - feathered, yellowlegged and beaked birds that ought to go to market,” Mr. Schwartz rot only showed the farmers and farmers’ wives how to cull their flocks, but gave everyone in the audience an opportunity to pick out good and bad birds. Here are tbe kind he said to discard: Those that have yellow legs, beak, early molter.s, hard, small vent, pelvic bones close together and are fat and rigid, from two to three fingers’ width between the pelvic bones and keel or end of the breast bone, and cold, palu

Here are the kind to save: Late molters, those with the pale shank and beak, those with yellow in the eye ring, moist vent, plenty of room between the pelvic bones, so that two to four fingers may be laid between them, room for four or six fingers between the pelvic and keel or end of the breast bones. “When a hen stops laying, the yellow color will quickly return to the beak, beginning at the corner of the mouth and working out towards the tip," said Mr. Schwartz. “A bright, clear eye and active disposition indicate health, which is very necessary for both heavy egg production ami for the good breeder.

gnornnt of them that wc are constantly getting their enmity when we want their friendship, if only for commercial reasons. He showed the great \nd generally misunderstood problems of our neighbors to the south, ncluding Mexico. The chief cause of backwardness was the fact that only about ten per cent of the people • in any of these countries wer white and that this small per cent dominated •ind attempted to direct and compel to progress the whole population. Education was backward, yet there Fa been universities in South America a hundred years before any were in North America. Education was backward because the half-breed population was diflicult to educate, was suspicious of the ruling class, and often exploited. To understand the problems faced in these countries roifred in intelligent people a desire to help,

not to hurt them.

Prof. Tilden continued his talks on the place of literature in the schools and showed thr.t in teaching the older liter;.!are, that of a hundred or four hum red years ago, the great difllculjty was to -how and know the life out of which the literature sprang so as to make the selection vivid to the pup i. A broader intellectual interest, based upon the ability to read and understand life the speaker believed to be the cure for the present social and industrial dangers that threaten us. Just preceding the Bindley lecture last night an elaborate program of music and recitations was biven under the direction of Mr. Maxwell. The following persons appeared upon the program: Miss Bernice Craig, Mrs. Haddock.

On the other hand he said that there was much real difference of opinion among men capable of thinking clearly on the subject. He stilted that practically all thinkers were in favor of a league of nations but all could not agree on

the kind of league.

He pointed out that the chief objection urged against the present instrument was the belief on the part of many that the United States would be compelled, under the present provisions to send her armies to any part of the world to fight at the direction of the league. The speaker pointed out that the obligation to send armies to protect memfbers of the league from the aggression of neighbor spates was o naoral and not a legaJ
