At thirty-seven be is entering his
twentieth year of constant warfare-
This has elutpped him for the part

wtaulng a number of strategically

- The evidence against McKinley
was circumstantial; but there *ras not

The button was of Identically the

city. It was there that he learned to
write. All day long ho scribbled on
the walls of the cell. Then one night
the news was flashed on tna^wires
that Villa ha|l escaped and waa oi
way to the United States. It
always been supposed that President
Madera^ who saved him from death
by execution by Huerta, caused the
escape.
Villa came to El Paso, arriving
there In March. 1I1S, shortly after
the time of Madero's assaslnatlon
With eight men he at onCe made ar
rangements to-'cross the line and,
fight Nine months later Villa had
18,000 well equipped men In the
field. Practically all the arms, am
munition and money were taken from
the law Into his own hands one after
noon when he met the captain prome
nading near the governor’a palace.
One bullet evened the score and the
boy disappeared. With a price on hia
head, he struck out for the moun
tain* where the chances of htr cap
ture b> the rurales on hi* trail would
be lessened. The full story of the
years of constant peril that followed
would fill many a page.
It la-said that Villa never robbed
the poor, bdt confined hia operations
wholly to the rich' and "powerful.
These were years of wild midnight
rides, fights against heavy odds, nar
row escapee from c&ptnre, and'the
bnxjal of dead conirades. Villa often
visited the capital, taking his life In
his hands. On one occasion, when a
Federal officer sent word that he was
going ont to "get" Villa, the latter
sent back a courier, saying be-him
self would come to the officer anc
spar* him the needless trouble of a
Journey.
He rode Into the capital one night
and met the officer coming out of the
police station. A duel followed and
the.efflcer waa killed. Protected, as
the Federals after battles.
Villa captured Torrepn, besieged
rnfit*mini* city, then, by a quick
stroke dashed to the border and, cap
tured Juares. Then he returned
southward, defeated. Gen. Mercado’:

That Farmers Interest* Are Well

Safe-Guarded by Currency Law.
“F have certainly Enjoyed this op
portunity of meeting the planters of
Charleston county and of aeelng
what Intelligent efforts they are
making to Improve Agricultural com
dltions in this sectldu,” said United
States Senator Ellispn Durant Smith
to a reporter for The News and
Courier while on A visit to’ Charles
ton'VVednosday. »
Senator Smith was In attendance
on the annual meeting of^bo Seh Is
land potion Growers* association, at
which ho delivered -an address. He
was Interviewed at the Commercial
Club, where he w t as the centre of a
arge group of planters, all of whom
were interestedly making Inquiries
of the Senator cnocernlng the various
measures he Introduced in Congress
recently for the improvement of agri
cultural conditions In tbs country;
and especially for,the Improvement
of cotton conditions.
St-nntor Smith did not discuss poU
Itics. He remarked that he had not
come for the purpose. He discussed
the currency bill fight Interestingly
and said that the thing which had
probably given him most pleasure
during the last few months was the
adoption of Ms resolution by the
Demoeratte^Caucustoetradrserthe
amendment to the currency bill mak
ing farmers’ notes running as long as
six months basis of the new currency,
and also the amendment to five years
the life of loans on farm lands. South
Carolina, represented by Representa
tive Lever in the House and bjr Sena
tor Smith In the upper body, In this
way was Instrumental In performing
what is considered a great service to
the farmers of the whole South.
Respecting embodiment of these
Items in the currency bill. Senator
Smith said: "They, recognise the
man engaged In agriculture as a busi
ness mad as well aa a farmer. Their
effect U to give the farmer six
months' time on his loansjnstead of
ninety days. ' The nature of the
farmer's business is tuch that he has
no marketable return before atx
months after negotiating hia loans."
He said that Jhls aim had been to
put Into the currency system of the
United States what has never been
In It before, thl recognition of real
Wftate and the product* of real estate
M collateral In national bank loan*.
Senator Smith la ao pleased with
the restilt of hia efforts In this mat
ter that, exhibiting the original draft
o^hia resolution, containing the sig
nature* of twenty-seven Democratic
Senators, he aaid he intended having
it framed and keeping It permanent
ly. He said that thouglKhe has de
voted the major portion of mg efforts
while In Congress toward the'better
ment of agricultural conditions,
especially In the South, and has hath
several Important measures toward
this end adopted, he was perhaps as
highly pleased over this piece of
jyork as over anything else he had

manufacturers are encouraged tb
manufacture ammunition for our
guns, after war is declared they will

after the war Is finished,
"The war department believes af
ter extended study that, in case of
war with a first class power, an army
qt. 500,000 men will be needed to
give this country any. chanfq of suc
cess against Invasion and that this
force will be needed at once. To
t^ake It efficient It must be-glven Us
proper quota of fleld‘*rtlllery. To do
this artillery must be on hand, tor
it can- not be supplied after war la
started.”
The general suggested that th*
United States regular mobile army
should be organized Into three Infan
try and two cavalry.divisions with an
aggregate war strength _of about
75,000," requiring 54 batteries, or
216 gnns.
With the co-operation of Stats
governors, the militia, he said, now
could be organized into 12 infantry
and five auxiliary divisions with an
aggregate war strength of 292,000
men, needing 174 batteries, of 696
gnns. The aggregate of the two
forces thus would he 867,000 men, or
approximately two field armies short
of the force of 500,000 men. These
two field armies will require 336
guns. The United States garrisons
abroad have 68 guns. Notin^that
the militia ha* In Its hands'about 34
pieces, it should have, the general
added, to summarize for the regular
army and volunteers, "we would need
596 guns, for the militia .696 guns.”
Gen. Wood said that the total ap
propriations up to October 1 last by
the House military and appropria
tion committees provided for only
245,090 rounds of ammunition for
the modern field guns; ail of which
ammunition will not be manufactur
ed until June 30 next.
"Of this ammunition," he said,
we have at present in this country
136,508 rounds and for the 2.95
mountain gun* 15,106 .rounds, or a
total of 201,614 rounds. And this
is all we have. At Mukden, in nine
tys, the 1,204 Russian guns ex-
mded 260,000 rounds.
e present daily output of th*
'ordnanqe factories, for three ahlfta
running night and day, Is not above
1.600 rounds^ The war department
was obliged ikst year to eofitn part
of the regular army with obsolete
7-inch howitzers and 6-Inch siege
gun batteries mainly bbcaurt of lack
of sufficient ammunltlon fo rth*
modern guns.”
The war department la trylng to
accumulate 1,292 field guns of vIk
rious calibres, of which 735 yet have
to be appropriated for, and Gen.
Wood said it waa not his idea that
the country constantly should be
armed to the teeth in preparation for
any war, but that H ahould be reason
ably prepared for war. He said he
did not care so much whether con
gress gave the war department th#
