i VILLA FIRING 5001 IS CHEATED THRICE American Red Cross Workers Tell How General, In Rage, Orders Executions. STAFF OFFICER INTERCEDES Mexican Leader, Angered by Rerusal of Guaranty to Wounded, Gives Command to Place Doctors Jn Front of Battle Line. T7XCO. Arir. Kmr V r- a i cans released at Villa Verde Friday utuirji vina, alter tbreu times hav ing been condemned to death, arrived on American i soil here Saturday and narrated their experiences as voluntary Red Cross workers among: Villa's wounded on the battlefield of Agrua Prieta. The party consisted of Dr. R. H. Thigpen, Dr. Charles H. Miller and two chauffeurs,' Al Wilson and J. D. Pylant The two physicians took to their beds on their arrival, as a result of their experiences and an all-night tramp through the mountains. Villa In Towering Rage. General Villa Hew into a rage. Dr. Thigpen said, when he learned that the Americans would not guarantee the passage of his wounded, over American territory to Juarez. '"treat the Americans as they treat us," he is quoted as having said to his aide. "Do as you please. Turn the artillery on Douglas and put these men in front of the infantry." Intercession by General Rafael Naive, coupled with fear of retaliation on families of Villa and his subordinates in the United States, was responsible lor the safety of the Americans, Dr. Thigpen said. When a subordinate reported to Villa that Carranza troops had been permit ted to cross America territory to aid Oeneral Calles in defending Agua Prieta. Villa again sought vengeance on the Americans. In a rage he heaped excoriations on their heads and Anally ordered them killed. Men Pray for Safety. Believing in the efficacy of prayer, the four Americans knelt among the wounded on the battlefield while the riflemen waited. "The Mexicans about us were im pressed." said Dr. Thigpen, "and the intercession once more of General Naive, who suggested the execution not be carried out until families of Villa and his officers could be recalled from the United States, spared us once more. "I asked Villa if I might talk to him." said Dr. Thigpen. "'If you say a word to me I'll shoot you myself,' he replied." The four Americans were marched to Villa Verde, where for the third time they were condemned to be shot. Gen eral Naive, who followed them, again interceded, this time with Genera; Rod riguez, who had arrived from Naco. Shortly afterward they were released, to make their way as best they could. General M ould Accept Arms. "General Naive tol w goodbye," concluded Dr. Thigpen. "'I am a poor man.' he said, 'and if you care to give ine any money you may, but if not, all right.'" Dr. Thlgpen's home is in Sandersvil'.e, Ga., and Miller lives at Hereford, Tex. They left Naco Tuesday to give what aid they could to Villa wounded. En route they met the command of An tonio Orozco, who was wounded. They were then directed to Villa's headquar ters on the field of battle. 1XKSTOX CALLS ON OBREGOX Protoction of Americans in Villa Territory Is Discussed. DOUGLAS, Ariz., Nov. 7. Major-Gen eral Funston, commander of the south ern department of the United States Army, today made an informal call on General Alvaro Obregon, chief of staff of the Carranza forces of Mexico, at a hotel here today. Means of protection for the Americans remaining in Sonora territory under control of General Villa were discussed during the half-hour visit of the two Generals. What de cision, if any, was reached. General Funston declined to say. General Funston will leave tomorrow for his headquarters at San Antonio. It is understood he considers unlikely danger of an attack on Agua Prieta in the near future. General Obregon in the course of the day conferred with Carranza officials Troni Agua Prieta and Douglas. Rodolfo Garduno, Carranza Consul at Douglas. Mid that Obregon's mission westward was only to confer. with General Calles, lefending Agua Prieta. relative to his needs and the Sonora campaign. Obre Kon, he said, intended to return imme diately to Torreon to direct the Car ranza forces in the north and west. ..Managers of the El Tigre Copper Company denied any formal demand by Villa for 5.000 had been made. General Funston announced later to night that he had changed his plans and would not leave tomorrow. This announcement was made after the Gen eral had conferences with men inti mately acquainted with the situation in that part of Sonora controlled by Villa partisans.

SKIRTS CREEPING HIGHER London Manager of .Dressmaking House Predicts Xeiv Guise. LONDON. Nov. 4. -Women's skirts have been shorter this season than ever before, and next season they are to be shorter still. Women are about to ap pear In quits a new guise, said Frank Brighten, managing director of a Lon don establishment, on his return from Paris. He said: "Skirts are to be much shorter: the models are pleated, and ua ara made with "godets,' together with bolero v. snort ana long. w itn these dresses it Is, of course, neces sary to wear very high, boots, come of which are laced at the side, bright brown being the favorite color. "I am advised that velours de laine and serve materials fill be worn large ly -for day dresses and voile-georgette, cere de chine and charmeuse will be used for evening dresses. "As regards hats there will bo a radical change. The most popular of the new shapes is the 'girondon In Pluce monsieur and many other shapes closely following this, which will re semble the English highwayman hat. "The velvet toques (velours chiffon ne) and velvet berets (chasseurs alpins) "s a. very great vogue. Though small hats undoubtedly .will be the most popular, many large shapes will be worn later on canotiers, marquises and big, soft, round hats. The return of the feather is interesting to note. A great many mounts in ostrich feather are being shown, and undoubtedly will be very popular. "As regards other hat trimmings, very dainty bead ornaments, repre senting roses and wings, have been made in soft colors, such as rose du barry, old blue, steel and old gold. "Some of the trimmings of the small hats are formed in the shape of a gar ter made In the same coloring in beads placed around the center of the crown A few large roses in velvet and silk mixed with beaded centers and many patterns of ivy leaves made in velvet and silk are also being shown." schooFhisws vex NEW TEXTS WITHOUT SO MUCH WAB IN THEM ADVOCATED. Miss Grace DeGraff, at Single Tax Meeting, Suggests Having: "Sec retary of Peace" in Cabinet. That the school histories should be rewritten because they show the glory of war without its horror and for the reason that from 50 to 85 per cent of their pages are devoted to the heroes of war was the contention of Miss Grace DeGraff, in speaking to the single taxers at the Central Library Saturday night- She declared such one sided teaching is unfair and that the heroes of slaughter should give place to the heroes of constructive ac complishment in a world at peace. Following her address she proposed a resolution, calling upon President Wilson to join in calling a conference of neutral nations to use its efforts to bring about peace in Europe. The resolution was adopted by the meet ing. "Wo should have a Secretary of Peace instead of a Secretary of War." she declared. "For ages we have clung to outworn traditions. For many years the world believed salvation was to be won by human sacrifice. Duelling, until recently, was tho approved method of vindicating individual honor." The speaker said war is as much a relic of the dark ages as these things and she said she has confidence in humanity that leads her to believe war can and will be relegated to the world's scrap heap. The speaker cited the instance of the threatened war between Chile and Argentina, which was happily averted by peaceful means, as a hopeful indi cation of what nations can accomplish by peaceful means. In 1905, she said, Norway and Sweden were on tho verge of war and the armies were in camp ready to begin hostilities. However the men in the two warring camps fraternized and refused to take up arms against each other. Miss DeGraff was , a delegate to the women's peace conference, held in The Hague last Summer, .and she told her experiences there and re counted the resolutions adopted by the women of all nations who attended. She said European women were mucn improssed by the fact that there is no line of fortifications between the United States and Canada and regarded it as a hopeful sign that world-wide disarmament may become an actual fact. .T. O. Stearns, Jr., read a paper on "War and the Single Tax." advocat ing the latter as the preventive of warfare. H. A. Rice was chairman of the meet ing and he said that President Wilson, in his new role as an advocate of a large Army and Navy, was but follow- 1 ing in the footsteos of old world rulers and was, in fact, using their old ar guments. V. . F. E. Coulter made an entertaining talk along single tax lines that was warmly applauded and others spoke in favor of that proposed reform. ALL PASSENGERS SAVED SURVIVORS OF FORT BRAGG ARE ON BOARD CRUISER. Steamer Reported Total ,. Wreck Off Lower California, With Rock Fla nacles Penetrating; Hall. SAN DIEGO. Cal.. Nov. 7 U'k.ik.. the 4 7 persons who constituted tho com- wwara me steamer fort Bragg wrecked early yesterday near San Jose Del Cabo. on the Gulf of Lower Califor nia, were being brought to this port by the United States cruiser San Diego or whether the cruiser still remained at the scene of the accident was un known early tonight, as no dispatches had been received hero since early in the day. The radiograms received in the mojrning, however, reported that there had been no fatalities, and that all the survivors. 4 of whom were passengers, had found comfortable quarters aboard the San Diego, and that they would be brought here. The dispatches also said that there was no American a board the Fort Bragg when she crashed into the rock pinnacles which penetrated her hull. It was thought early today that the vessel would be a total wreck, although the sea had quieted and she still re mained in the rock cradle to which she slid yesterday morning.

THE BTORyTXG OHGOXTAy. 3IOXDAT, PRICES IN GERMANY AROUSE PROTEST Social "Democrats Demand Regulation That Shall - Abolish All Profit. RATION PLAN SUGGESTED Committee Would Divide All Food Xow on Hand Equally Among All People, So Rich Could Obtain No Preference. BERLIN, via London, Nov. 7. The Vorwaerts, organ of the German So cial Democratic party, -publishes a two column pronunctamento from tho execu tive committee of the Social Democratic party, declaring that tho government measures thus far for the regulation of the food supply and prices are only half measures. It demands the fixing of maximum prices for all Important foodstuffs, "prices so adjusted that every war profit for the producer, in wholesale as well as retail trades, is made im possible and OVen the DOnrAUt n r, rl.H in a position to obtain the necessaries. iiuueu tor tneir nourisnment.' Rise in Prices Undesirable. The pronunciamento begins as fol lows: "Tho rise in the prices of foodstuffs has become unbearable. The prices of all important provisions and other arti cles of daily necessity, such as fuel, clothing and footwear, have reached an exorbitant height. With anxious fears the people of the laboring class and up to the circles of tho middle classes look forward to aproaching Winter. Al ready bitter need rules in many fam ilies. "Must there be so much selfish lust tor gam and must capitalistic greed for profits rage unrestrainedl v in the unreined free play of forces? Must minions be in want so that those shameless producers and dealers who coolly take advantage of war conditions can enrich themselves at the nation's cost?" Pork Prices Declared Too High. Tho pronunciamento answers the foregoing questions in the negative. It says that the foodstuffs on hand are adequate, but that they must be right ly distributed. The prices for swine just established, it asserts, are too high and beef prices are not regulated. The committee demands, in addition to, the fixing of prices for other food stuffs, "an equal distribution of the foodstuffs on hand in equal rations among all tho empire's inhabitants, as is done with bread, in order to avoid preferential treatment of the rich, who are able to pay." NAVY PERFECTS DEVICE AEROPLANE IS LAUNCHED FROM DECK OP MOVING SHIP. Invention of Americana After Three Tears of Experimenting Widens Usefulness of Aircraft. WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. When a Navy aeroplane was shot into the air Friday at Pensacola from tho deck of the cruiser North Carolina while the ship was in motion a new feat in aviation was accomplished and a device on which Navy airmen have been at work for three years proved a suc cess. The result opens -up new possi bilities for Navy aeroplanes, as the de vice permits them to be launched with the aid of a platform without obstruct ing gun fire. "This represents the culmination of experiments which started in 1912," the Department announced. The device consists of a track ex tended along the ship's after deck, on which is a car. An aeroplane lands on the device from the air and is secured to the car. On launching the car is driven down the track until it has at tained high speed. Then it is brought to a sudden stop and the aeroplane slips from the moorings and soars into the air, having been shot over the cruiser's stern at 50 miles an hour.

MANY FISH SHOCK PREY Species That Sends Cnrrent Ont or Kjes Is. Described. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1. Fishes that discharge electric currents from their eyes; others denizens of the deep who entrap their prey by enveloping it in an electric field, and eels whose power of generating electricity is so great that the arm of a stroncr man la numbed from contact with one of them these were described by Dr. Ulric S " "' . L. I I Dahlgren before the members of the Franklin Institute. Dr. Dahlgren, who is a professor of biology at Princeton University, talked on "Production of Electricity by Ani mals." And he pointed out that it was only by fish that electricity was pro duced by living organisms for any ap parent use. with tho single exception of a mollusc found In Asia Minor. Tho fishes mentioned by tho speaker as capable of shocking other members of tho finny tribe by electric flashes from their eyes were along tho coast of New Jersey, he said. Some of the elec tric eels found in South American wa ters. Dr. Dahlgren explained, wero capable of generating a current of more than 600 volts, although they could, as a rule, deliver not mora than 250 volts, because of the resistance of their own bodies. Certain torpedo fishes were described by Dr. Dahlgren as capable of generat ing electricity in sufficient quantities to numb their enemies and also to facilitate the capture of their prey. "TY COBB" IS SUGGESTED Secretary Daniels Also Hears Name of "Dreadnought C. C. Catt." WASHINGTON. Oct. 23. Secretary Daniels recently received numerous amusing suggestions for names he should give new Naval vessels. One admirer, a baseball enthusiast, urged that one of the ships be designated the "Ty Cobb," another the "Harry Hoop er," and a third "Walter Johnson." It was argued that champion golfers should not be omitted. Mr, Daniels said that he was "strong" for the perpetuation of men of baseball fame, but he had no interest in golf because it took up too much time and cost too much in club dues and expense for va rious kinds of brassies. A woman suffrage advocate de manded that the women who had fought for equal rights should not be overlooked. "That's a good idea, Mr. Secretary," said Richard V. Oulahan, correspondent of the New York Times. "Call one of the ships 'The Dreadnought Carrie Chapman Catt.' " The Secretary laughed.

INSECTS AND MICE EATEN Government Records Several In stances When Birds Saved Vari ous Districts From Knln ly Destructive Pests. WASHINGTON. D. C, Oct. 26 Tho term "gull" usually is associated in tho popular mind only with the long winged swimmers seen along the salt water Bhores and in Coast harbors. There are represented in the United States, however, 23 species or sub species of gulls, including the gull-like birds known as skuas and jaegers. Of these some are true inland birds, fre quenting prairies, marshes and inland lakes. Flocks of gulls on tho waters of our harbors or following tho wako of vessels are a familiar slsht, but not every observer of the graceful motions of the bird is aware of tho fact that gulls are tho original "white wings." As sea .scavengers they welcome as food dead fish, garbage, and offal of various sorts, and their services in cleaning up such material are not to be regarded lightly. It will, however, surprise many to learn that some of the gull family rerider important inland service, especially to agriculture. At least one species, the California gull, is extremely fond of 'field mice, and during an outbreak of that pest in Nevada in 1907-'0S, hundreds of gulls assembled In and near the devastated alfalfa fields and fed entirely on mice, thus lending the farmers material aid in their warfare against tho pestifer ous rodents. The skua also feeds on mice and lemmings. Many Destroy Insects. Several species of gulls render valu able service to agriculture by destroy ing insects also, and in Spring hun dreds of Franklin's gulls in Wisconsin and the Dakotas follow the plowman to pick up the Insect larvae uncovered by the share. That at least one community has not been unmindful of the substantial debt it owes the gull is attested in Salt Lake City, where stands a monument sur mounted by a bronze figure of two gulls, erected by the people of that city "in grateful remembrance" of the sig nal service rendered by these birds at a critical time in the history of the community. For three consecutive years 1848, 1849 and 1850 black crick ets by millions threatened to ruin the crops, upon which depended tho lives of the' settlers. Large flocks of gulls came to the rescue and devoured vast numbers of the destructive insects, un til the fields were entirely freed from them. It is no wonder that the senti ment of the people of Utah as' reflected through their laws affords gulls the fullest protection. Bird Reservations Visited. Of the 68 bird reservations, some 21 situated cn the seacoast or on islands in the Grtat Lakes, are visited by the gulls in migration and frequented by them during tho breeding season. In these reservations birds finn safety from human - molestation and local wardens have endeavored to reduce their wild native enemies 'to a min imum. Among the birds frequenting these reservations are the glaucous-wjnged. western, herring. California, and laugh ing gulls. Thus these reservations pro tect several of tho most important spe cies of North American gulls. Through the efforts of individuals and the National Association of Audu bon Societies, guards and wardens have been employed along the coasts until it is probable that there is no impor tant colony from Maine to Florida not guarded during tho breeding season. A few colonies are protected on the Gulf Coast, and on tho Oregon Coast breeding places aro guarded by state wardens. As a result of this protec tion herring gulls along tho Coast of Maine have Increased considerably, while laughing gulls are beginning to be common once more in various locali ties where they had been almost ex terminated. . Lesral Protection Given. Fully as important for the protection and increase of gulls has been the en actment of state laws prohibiting their killing at any time of year and of laws prohibiting the sale of their plumage. Gulls, with their close allies, the terns, have been among the greatest suffer ferers frcm the millinery trade. As is usually the case, tho birds were shot on the breeding grounds during the height of the nesting season, thus caus ing the death not only of the parent birds, but insuring the death of the young birds by lingering starvation. Some years ago the public awoke to the barbarity of such slaughter, and after much agitation New Jersey, in 1885, en acted tho first effective state law pro hibiting the killing of gulls. This ex ample has been followed by other states until now, 1915, there are 40 states which protect gulls all the year. Louisiana protects them during the breeding season, February 1 to August 1. while fivo states Montana, Idaho, Nevada. Arizona and New Mexico of fer them no protection at any time of year. The surest way to protect any given bird is to remove the temptation to destroy it and so the most certain way to stop the killing of gulls for the millinery trade is to prohibit the sale of gulls' wings and plumage, so that ..oe KAl.N STICKS Good Ones.

DUTY ON WHEAT RESTORED French Tariffs, Suspncded on Out break of "VTar, Are Renewed. WASHINGTON. Nov. 1. Tho Depart ment of Commerce announces that a French government decree of Octo ber 16 restores tho import duties on wheat, spelt and maslin; flour of wheat, spelt and maslin, and bread, which were suspended by the decree of July 31, 1914. Shipments -exported di rect to France before October 17 are to bo entitled to free admission. The Department says also that the law of October IS provides that the government through the Minister of Commerce, may requisition foreign or native wheat and flour for tho civil population at prices not exceeding 30 francs per 100 kilos ($2.63 per 100 pounds) for wheat containing not more than 2 per cent of impurities, weighing 77 kilo per hectoliter (59.8 pounds per bushel). The prices are subject to an increase or a decrease of 1 per cent per kilo over or under 77 and a reduction of 1 per cent for each extra 1 per cent of impurities. The law also provides that flour prices shall bo flxable by a decree. According to the administrative cir cular of October 16, although the right of requisition Is general. It is preferrable that requisition should be of stock from warehouses and al though previous contracts do not safe guard against requisition, such mer chandise should be taken only in cases' or extreme necessity, the fulfillment of contracts to be subject to the decision of the courts.

Right here in Portland we have seen such excellent results from Vinol that it is a pleasure to know it is doing so much good for old people in other parts of the country. Woodbridge, N. J. "My Grandma was recovering from the grippe and was so weak she could hardly stand, and as she keeps house for m father and myr self, she could not get around at all. She had taken cod liver oil and many other medicines, but nothing seemed to do her any good. At last we heard of Vinol and tried it, and Grandma com menced to feel better right away, and got strong very soon, so she gets around as well as ever. tVe all praise Vinol for it is a splendid medicine." Myrtle H.' Bunn. The reason Vinol is so successful in restoring strength to the aged is be cause of tho rare combination of tonic iron, tho curative medicinal extractives of fresh cods' livers, beef peptone and mild native wine. It supplies iron to the blood, quickens the appetite, aids digestion, promotes proper assimilation of food, and enriches the blood, and brings back the strength of renewed health.7 Tho Owl Drug Co., Portland.
