Washington.?Successful raids bv

rload of fuel oil sent from Vera Cruz
[ was destroyed by Zapata forces 50
miles from the capital and trains sent
out from the city recently have been
compelled to return because of the activities
of the raiders. Food and sani
tary conditions in the city were said
to be bad.
A consular report from Nogales,
Mexico, said Carranza forces, under
Gen. Calles had withdrawn entirely
from that portion of the State. Villa
troops under Maytorena are holding
the Cananea railway.
The Villa agency today made public
the following statement issued at
.)uarez after a conference between
Villa and his military chief relative to
the possible recognition of Carranza
the Pan-American conference.
"We do not believe President Wilson
can be persuaded to take this step,
as such would signify recognition of a
military dictatorship or depotism with
out courts or of those public institutions
de facto governments are required
to have, under American precedents
to justify recognition. Carranza

himself, while Villa on the other hand,
demands and is fighting for the restoration
of constitutional government.'
Advices to the agency from the border
deny the reported sacking and
evacuation of Torreon by Villa troops
and say Villa garrisons still occupy
Torreon and Durango. Many troop
grains !#ive arrived at Juarez, bringing
soldiers ordered to Sonora, from
which State the message says, "Villa
is determined to drive Carranzistas."
The Villa advices say an objective
movement against Carranza is immiA

"This yours, Quest?"
"Of course it is," Quest answered.

the inspector remarked slowly,

French stooped and picked up a
small clock. It had stopped at elevenfifteen.
He looked at it thoughtfully.
"Quest." he went on, "I'll have to
ask you a question."
"Why not?" Quest replied looking
quickly up.
^ "Where were you at eleven-fifteen?"
"On tower No. 10 of the New York
Central, scrapping for my life," Quest
answered grimly. "I've reason to remember
it."
Something in the inspector's steady
gaze seemed to inspire the criminologist
with a new idea. He came a step
forward, a little frown upon his forehead.

ALLIES BATTER AT |
WEAKENED LINES
%
Following Up Vigorously
Their Heavy Blow in
the West
The armies of the allies all during::
last week put forth special efforts according
to tlie news despatches, hammering
at the German lines around:
France and Belgium incesasntly, first
with tremendous artillery, and then
with infantry charges. They scored
several victories, so much so that the
people rejoiced in England and France
more than they have done concerning
this war in many months. That the
allied armies are keeping their advant
age is shown by the following despatch
from London the latter part of j
the week:
rni
i no nriusli arc battering the third 11
line of the Germans in the vicinity of I
Loos. Tiie French are maintaining |
their offensive in Champagne. The ]
Germans in the Argonne apparently
have heen unable to make important
gains, and have refrained from infan-i
try attacks. This sums up briefly!
the western situation as seen in Lon- j
don.
No great change in conditions is ,
shown, but England attaches high im-1
portance to indications that the offensive
movement of the allies is not to
I be. relayed. A short breathing spell;
I has been succeeded by the hardest i
* *
pressure on German positions at the
points weakened or shattered by the
allies' rush. That it is the intention
i ...
to maintain this pressure is indicated
by a telegram from Field Marshal
French to the lord mayor of London,
thanking him for his message of good
i will.1The British commander added that
the message encouraged his troops
Ha. ~ i ' i
to pusn me immediate success to a
really decisive issue." This leads the
public to believe there is to be no
stalemate such as followed the battle
J of Neuvre Chappelle, but that with
new British forces in the field and
: ample supplies of ammunition, Gen,
;Joffre and Field Marshall French
|
plan a real test whether German resistance
in France and Belgium can
be broken. i
Russia has not been doing so well.
The Austrians have stemmed the Russian
advance in Southern Poland and
have retaken Lutsk. The Germans
are renewing their great movement
against Pvinsk.

WHAT ARE LEGUMES I
APPLIED TO PLANTS
Legumes Recommended as a I
Diet for Pellagrins by
Doctors.
In the articles written about pclla- |
gra. it is stated in scire of them that
a died of legumes is recommended,
especially as a preventative measure. |
A reader asks: "Is a legume any
plant that makes its seed in pods, or
just those that gather nitrogen from
the air? Some claim that the Jack
bean is a legume. ?s it?
The distinctive character of the legumes
is that t hey bear their seeds in
pod-like structures. Most legumes,
and perhaps all of them, although
this is not certain, have nodules on
their roots formed by or occupied by
bacteria which take nitrogen from,
the air that is present in the soil.
This is a splendid example of "coopj
oration" in plant life. The legumes
furnishes a suitable home for the hac1
teria, which are small plants, and in
(return the bacteria furnishes the
; legume with extra nitrogen, so essen
t Ual to its best growth.
There tnav be more than one plant
I popularly called "Jack Bean," as!
1 we know it. is that nothing will eat it.
