made the supreme SACRIFICE.

Most of the' local boys who were with
the Gainesville Machine Guta company
when it was mustered out of service
at Camp Bowie yesterday about noon,
arrived home last night on the 10:55
Santa Fe train from Fort Worth.
A crowd of at least one thousand re-
latives and friends had assembled to
meet the returning heroes, and when the
train pulled in there was such jam it
was difficult for some to find the par-
ticular soldier they had waited so long
and anxiously to see. A shout here and
there indicated joyous meetings and
even those who had no relatives among
the soldier boys joined in the happy
welcome to the veterans of the great
war. Probably no train has ever
brought so much joy and sunshine into
the hearts of Gainesville and Cooke
county people as that which brought
home this bunch of our soldier boys,
who in spite of the hard and valorous
service rendered their country came
home safe and sound, with one excep-
tion. Sam Tune of Valley View made
the supreme sacrifice, being the only
local boy of the Machine Gun company
to lose his life in battle.
Lieut. Bert H. Davis, who was with
the company throughout its service, has
not been discharged but expects to be
up in a few days on a furlough.

Washington, June 20.—Postmaster
General Burleson, in a letter today to
Representative Buchanan , Democrat,
Texas, declared that the hostile feeling
of Representative Gallivan, Democrat,
Massachusetts, who in s* speech in the
house yesterday said Mr. Burleson
should be removed, as postmaster gener-
al, was due to the discontinuance of the
pneumatic mail tube service in Boston,
as recommended by Mr. Burleson.
Mr. Burleson cited the congressional
record as showing that Mr. Gallivan had
been owner of eighty shares of pneu-
matic tube stock. ----»

“THE HEART OF

This production received more
favorable comment excepting, pos-
sibly, Mary Pickford in “Daddy
Long Legs,” than any other pic-
ture we have ever run. Also as it
was one of the most expensive
pictures, you will remember we
had to charge 20c and 40c to get
by, but on account of such bad
wather both days, for the benefit
of out of town and home people
who were unable to get here, we
have arranged this return date and
on such terms, on account of it be-
ing the second run here, to put it
on at popular prices. So don’t miss
it, as it will be your last chance.

VISITING IN AMIGA

By Associated Press:

manuel has requested Francesco Nitti.
former minister of the treasury, to form
a new cabinet, it is announced semi-of-
ficially.
San Antonio, June 20.—Two army
aviators, whose names could not be
learned, were killed and two planes of
the squadron flying from Ellington
field, Houston, Texas, to thf >Tgxa*
border were wrecked today at Del* Rio,
Texas, according to a long-distance mes-
sage from there tonight. The death of
the two aviator* occured when they
were starting a flight to E> Paao.
By Associated Press:
While the trend of German sentiment,
it is declared in peace conference advices,
continues strongly favorable to signing
the treaty, it is becoming apparent that
the Germans will not divulge their at-
titude officially before making an ef-
fort to obtain modification of the
terms. They wish to know definitely
what they are signing and have asked
whether Clemenceau’s covering note on
reparations and other phases of the
treaty is considered a part of the docu-
ment and binding upon all parties. They
also asked if the allies would agree to
admit Germany to the league of nations,
consent to limit Germany’s indemnity to
hundred billion marks and strike out the
requirement for the surrender of the
former German emperor.
The cabinet situation is uncertain. It
is definitely known that the Scheid-
mann government resigned, but wheth-
er his successor has been chosen is
doubtful. It seems probable the minis-
terial crisis, caused by the necessary
quickly decided attitude on the peace,
question will result in a request for an
extension of time beyond Monday to
reached a final decision. Paris dispatch"
es indicate that under the circumstances
the request will be favorable received.

By Associated Press:
Washington, June 21.—Recent de-
velopments on the Mexican border and
in the interior of Mexico has brought a
radical .change in the attitude
government toward Mexico,
learned officially today, and
stated authoritatively, that ‘
waiting" will be discarded for
ful preparedness.”
The war* department has perfected
ptou tp throw a punitive expedition of
adequate strength across the Riol
Gr«nde should ViHa begin reprisals, or
other contingencies arise.
Order* for advances of this column
will he accompanied by instructions for
military occupation of territory neces-
sary to insure the safety of the expedi-
tion, and tbe absolute protection of the
border through the creation of a neutral'
zone south of the line.
Further movement of the expedition j
will depend entirely on subsequent de- j
velopme*ts. Military observers place;
little credence to the reports that Villa
has abandoned the northern offensive.
It is pointed out that economic.
‘ well as'ihilitary necessity,* call for
*' elimination of garrisons on the 1
of territory which Villa controls,
possession of the principal entry port. 1
The federal army is able to obtain
only forty per cent of its paper-strength
and military value is decreased by the
’'i ! .doubtful Myafty bf-.-high officers and
' s hundreds of forcibly conscripted recruits.
So serious is the condition faced by Ctar-
ranza that he is bending all efforts to
secure the direct support of the United
States.
The principal purpose of the recent
visit to Washington of General Candido
Aguilar, son-in-law of Carranza and a
cabinet member it is declared was to
secure this support. Aguliar is authoriz-
ed, according to the report to settle the
oil question and other matters which
caused friction. It is known Aguliar
conferred with state department offi-
cials on the petroleum question and
<t is believed the problem is nearer set-
tlement than at any time since Carranza
