Tokio.—(Correspondence of the As-
sociated Press.)—The heroism of Ver-
dun will be commemorated by' the
emperor of Japan, who will send, to
the French city a Japanese sword
newly wrought by the leading sword-
smith of the nation. \
The sword is of the kind known as
“Efu-no-tachi” used by the warriors
of ancient Japan solely on the battle-
field and is accordingly thought an
ideal gift for honoring the ; martial
spirit and bravery of Verduif.
The swordsmith is Yagoro Gassan
of Osaka, believed the best of the
contemporary experts of the art in
Japan. It was he who fashioned the
sword worn by the emperor oh the
occasion of the coronation of conse-
cration, ceremony in Kioto last year.
The sword-guard and other acces-
sories will be made of pure gold with
raised work representing flowers;
vines and other figures. On the upper
part of the hilt the imperial crest of
the chrysanthemum in gold is to be
mounted on both sides. The sheath
will be made of wood, its outer part
being colored with mother-of-pearl
affd mounted with .gold lacquer de-
signs. The sheath and hilt are to
sculptured by' master artists While
the sword-guard and other met|l ac-^
ces series will be produced by well-
known goldsmiths. •
The sword is expected to be r^ady
about the spring of next year when it
will be presented to the city of Ver-
dun through President Poincare. :
Incidentally the Japanese - depart-
ment of education has begun the dis-
tribution of essays concerning hero-
islh of Verdun and other European
battlefields. The underlying idea is
that the rising generation is tpo
prone to think that Japanees-j valor
and patriotism is the greatest/ if not
the only real, patriotism in the world.
Tc broaden the minds of the yonng on
this subject and give them a traerer
conception of world courage, educa-
tional leaders are daily presenting the
deeds of valor of Europe.

London.—“It’s all right so long as
you can’t see ’em or hear’ em,” said
“Tommy’* Brennan of the Royal Fly-
ing corps, “but any man who tells you
he can fly over an ‘Archie’ and get a
‘flaming onion right ahead of him
without ducking and wishing they
wouldn't come so close or make so
much noise has never been up in an
aeroplane.' Take it from me.” .
“Yes,” put in Gilrny, “and eve^y time
you duck your old winger ducks with
you. As ‘Bren’ over there says, it
wouldn't be so bad if you couldn’t see
and hear ’em. Generally speaking you
don’t hear them unless one happens to
break within 30 yards or so of you. It’s
When you get down close to them and
look right down at them spitting fire
at you, that you have got to have every
nerve in your body tuned to the
minute.” . .
“I’ll never forget the first time they
got close to me," declared “Boy” Tylie.
“My only thought was that I would
never shoot a pheasant again. I knew
exactly how a bird must feel when a
hunter opens fire.”
Machine Hit Eighty Times. .
Y Brennan wore upon his left Sleeve
the gold stripe of the wounded. “Gil”
had been on the official list of the
killed ta lactlon some weeks ago, but'
somehow or- other came back to life.
When Brennan was “bit” and finally
came down Safely within his lines, it
was found there were no less than 80
perforations In the wings of his ma-
chine.
“I was so Interested in looking over
their trenches I guess I got a little too
low,” lie explained. / : Y
There is nothing more interesting id
all London than to sit through a long
autumn evening talking to the young-
sters of the wonderful aviation service
Great fjritaln has built up since the
war began. - Y
“We’ve got the ^German now where
they have id fire blindly or shoot by
the limp,” fliese intrepid men of the
air will tell yon.. “Of what use are
■ their wonderful guns If they don%
know what they are shooting afk
They don’t dare send a.plane over our
lines. They don’t even dare approach.
The minute they show themselves we
have an overwhelming number of ma-
chines to send after them and they
beat it for home agapn as fast as they
can go. They* can’t take A photograph
of our new positions. Their batteries
have been driven from the heights and
they can’t observe. It is a *big dif-
ference from the first days of the
. war.” ■
Associating much with Britain’s fly-
ing men one will soon learn that an
“Archibald.'* usually called “Archie”
for short, is an anti-aircraft gun.
The Air Gets in the Way.
" Archie’ barks at you,” said Bren-
nan. “He goes ‘woof, woof!’ He isn’t
comfortable to listen to either, but it’s
when yod get down a little nearer to
earth and the machine guns get to
working that you feel you have got
to do what you set out to do right
Illicitly and get started to some quiet-
er spot just as fast as the air will get
out of your- way and let you through.
You cmi*t Imagine how much that old
atmosphere gets in your way when you
are really in a hurry. 1
“When you get on speaking terms
w:ih a machine gun you know that it:
talks with a ‘putt, putt, putt.’- The
ordinary hand rifle, which often takes
a shot at you when you get too close
to the trenches, goes ‘crack, crack,
crack,’ Just as every one expects a
• rifle to do. ‘ '
**A naming onion? Well, that looks
fer ail the world like an eight-candle
power electric light bulb coming at
yon. Then all of a sudden it breaks
lqto nice little ribbons of fire that dart
and float through the air like so many
‘ biasing serpents. They are very dis-
agreeable, these onions. Their one de-
sire In life is to set you ablaze and
explode your petrol tank.” .
One thing the American always has
to remember over here is that gaso-
line, or Just plain “gas” as the motor-
ists and fiylug men call it at home,
has no place In the English lexicon.
It is “petrol.”

Washington, Dec. 4.—Reports to
the war department from General
Bell at El Paso, transmitting the ac-
counts of fugitives from Chihuahua
of Villa successes and the exhaustion
of the de facto forces' military sup-
plies caused anxiety in administra-
tion circles today.
These dispatches state that Gen-
eral Trevino who had 6000 soldiers
when the battles of Chihuahua began
on November 23, was defeated by a
force of Villistas numbering between
2500 and- 3000 men. The Villistas
possessed a preponderance of ammu-
nition, however, although that in the
hands of the Carrancistas was dissi-
pated by wild firing. I t
■ ,
• The dispatches: say there were
various turns of fortune in the five
days fighting, which virtually ended
when General Trevino evacuated the
City of Chihuahua on Monday morn-
ing, General Bell's account agrees
with the latest information in the
hands of the Mexican embassy • here
concerning General Trevino’s move-
ments after he evacuated Chihuahua.
After sending three .trains of sol-
diers to Juarez Trevino, with the
major portion of his army, marched
southward fqr the purpose of form-
ing a junction with General Murguia
who also commands some 60(K) men.
' Murguia is reported to have large
quantities of ammunition as well as.
field artillery. Y ;Y -v"

hands three times and Santa Rosa
Hill, a strategic joint, twice. Several
times Villa’s troops penetrated to
the heart of the citx, leaving after
dark, but renewing -the attack .early
in the morning.1';The attack was con-
ducted from three directions, from
the waterworks, from Cerro Coronel,
known as Hacienda Robinson, and
from the. direction of the roundhouse.
The state department has received
itsporta from consular offices on the
border^ saying all Americans are be-
lieved to have left the city before
the* de facto evacuation.
The dispatch says that no foreign-
ers or non-combatants were Ykilled
except possibly two Chinamen. . . ’
At both state and war departments
it was declared Villa’s successes do
not create a fresh menace to the bor-
der and that they do not constitute
a threat against General Pershing’s
expedition in Mexico. There was a
general belief that ^both the Villistas
were .believed to be in a more de-
plorable plight. Villa captured most
of his stores from defeated detach-
ments of Carranza troops and has
obtained considerable quantities also
during the past several months from
the treachery of the de facto soldiers.
Army officers are pressing the au-
thorities for permission for General
Pershing to strike at Villa while the
bandit leader is in the open. It is
their opinion that until 'the United
States gives Carranza material aid
the bandit chieftain will continue to
be a source of constant trouble.
While President Wilson 'is .credit-
ed with the, opinion that the embar-
go on the exportation of arms and
ammunition into Mexico ought to be
lifted in Carranza’s interest, influen-
tial personages in the war depart-
ment express the belief' that Villa
would be equally benefitted. They
point out, too, that 'so long as the
Mexican problem is unsettled there
is a possibility that any war muni-
tions sent from this country to Mexi-
co might later be used against #the
American troops. Y * .
The administration is believed to
be awaiting wOrd from Queretaro,
the provisional capital, that General
Carranza has ordered the ratification
of the Atlantic City agreement be-
fore making any change in its Mex-
ican policy. ; Y
In all circles it is admitted that the
prime need of the Carranza govern-
ment is money and that his govern-
ment is threatened with dissolution
unless financial aid is secured.

So Badly Man Could Not Liva

For years and years we have been
telling the people of Palestine that
Vinol is a wonderful remedy for
bronchial troubles. Here is positive
proof:—
Tilden, 111. “For five years I suf-
fered from bronchial asthma. In thn
winter time I was obliged to ait in
a Morris chair all night, as I could
not lie down, owing to that dreadful
choking' sensation. I tried nearly
every known remedy, but •
gave me any relief until one^dff’H
met the Station Agent at
111., and he said he haiLHSen a suf-
ferer for years, but WQ been cured
