AMERICANS KKl'T OUT OF MKXICO.
There are stationed at l*"ort Mcintosh
approximately 7(H) l otted States soldiers
who when on field duty ure under the
command of Colonel Blockson of the Third
Cavalry. There are three troops of the
Fourteenth and three troops of the Third
Cavalry and lfattery A of the Third Field
Artillery. These troops are patrolling the
border in addition to the work of the
rangers and are also guarding the two
bridges at this point. Tonigut United
States soldiers on foot and mounted are
on duty in the city us .*» precautionary
measure against violent outbreaks in con-
nection with the celebration of tli" birth of
the New Year. Kvcry man who crosses
the International bridge is searched for
arms by United States t-oldiers detailed for
that duty. No Americans are permitted
to cross into Mexico and it may be stated
that few there be who are seeking oppor-
tunity to cross at this time. Consul Gar-
rett today notified all Americans in the
threatened municipality to cross over to
Texas soil for safety.
State rangers commanded by Captain
Sanders are helping the United states sol
diers enforce tue neutrality laws. The
city authorities have sworn in twenty ex-
tra policemen in anticipation of the battle
All afternoon crowds of the curious
sought out housetops, the river bank and
other vantage points in the hope of des-
crying the approach of (reneral Gonzales
and his invading army. Lute today several
automobiles loaded heavily with provisions
were seen to take the county road leading
down the river. The conjecture is but
natural that these provisions wore intended
tor the Gonzales army. Whether or not
the goods might, be construed as belong-
ing in the contraband class, the belief is
that they safely reached camp some eight
miles distant. Boats were used to trans-
port the supplies across the Klo Grande.
KFVKLKY IN LA It KIM)
Not unlike that fateful time on the eve
of Waterloo, tonight there was the sound
of revelry in Laredo. The occasion, like
that other history one, was a society
dance given under the auspices of the
Lechuza Club. Fair maidens and brave
men from both sides of the river were its
chief participants.
DEFENSES AKL STRONG.
According to men versed in the more
modem science of constructing the de-
fenses of a city, Nuevo Laredo is well
equipped to successfully resist the attack
of au Invading force greatly superior in
numbers to that now having the protection
of the place in hand. Situated as the city

James S. Bryce, former British ambassador to the United States.
■jar ONDON, Dec. Ml.—James Bryce. formerly British ambassador at Washington, is
given the title of viscount in the New Year's honor.
Sir Francois Charles Stanislas Langelier, Lieutenant Governor of Quebec and
Douglas Colin Cameron, Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba, were made knights com-
mander of the Order of St. Michael and St. George.
Chief Justice Horace Archambeault of Quebec aud Ilenry Kelley Egan of Otlawa
received knighthoods.
In addition to Mr. Bryce. four politicians were given peerages. These are Sir
Kufus Daniel Isaacs, Alexander Ure, Sir Charles Crippa and Sir Harold Harinsworth.
Sir Gerald Augustus Lowther, recently ambassador at Constantinople, was created
a baronet, and Owen Seaman, editor of Punch since 1U00, was knighted.

both directions simultaneously. The topo-
graphy of the country seems to favor the
southern point. However, the battle of
March 17, last, was fought near the west-
: ern suburbs and almost within a stone's
throw of the river.
» A military man is authority for the
I statement that because of the complete*
uess and seeming security of the defenses

, the past two months, one defender of the
position of Colonel Guardiola will be equal
to half a dozen of the attacking forces.

LIND'S COMING IS AWAITED
Washington Professes to Be in Ig-
norance of His Exact Mission.
I WASHINGTON, D. C.t Dec. 31.—With
t John Lind aboard, the United States scout
; cruiser Chester was speeding across the
Gulf of Mexico tonight, due to drop anchor
off Ship Island, on the Mississippi coast,
In time for the President's personal repre-
sentative of Mexico to breakfast with the
t President at Pass Christian tomorrow and
lav before him a full report on the Mexi-
1 can situation.
There has been much speculation as to
the exact object of Mr. Llnd's Journey. He
; is coming, Officials say, to make a verbal
report to the President, and in some quar-
ters it has been suggested that, convinced
"The city is thoroughly mined," said a that the finish of the Iiuerta regime Is in
refugee tonight, "and 1 am afraid It will be sight, Mr. Lind desires to confer with
blown tip if the Federal forces find they ; President Wilson as to the course to be
can no longer withstand the attack." * j pursued when the end comes.
Because of the river boundary the attack in this connection, belief has been ex-
if made on Nuevo Laredo must come from ; pressed here that the Administration's ob-
jection to provisional officials in the City
of Mexico does not extend to all of
Huerta's adherents, and that in the crea-
tion of a new provisional government In
Mexico some of the capable men now asso-
ciated with Huerta but not responsible for
the overthrow or death of Madero might
take a leading part with the approval of
the United States.
The State and War Departments is anx-
iously awaiting tonight news from OJinaga J
Mexico, where the last remnant of General
[ Huerta's northern army was making its
final stand. The American garrison at
Presidio, Tex., Is comparatively small, and
it Is believed tills explains the action of the
officer In command in driving back into
Mexico individual Federal soldiers trying
tn find safety in flight across the line.
Reports today told of continued insur-
gent movements against the town of Nuevo
Laredo, indicating their purpose to occupy
that Place at the earliest moment, and with
the fall of OJinaga there will be an un-
broken line of Constitutionalist authority
along the whole northern border.

there are those who say these tortuous me-
tallic strands will carry silent death to
those who come in contact with them, as
was the case at Matamoros until the full
of the powerhouse. The outer fortifications
are about two miles in length.
But the redoubts, the trenches and the
barbed entanglements do not constitute all
the defenses. To the westward and across
a portion of the southern frontage steel
box cars have been nlaced end to end on
sidings. These and the impenetrable walls
constructed underneath them with bags of
sand are held to constitute a breastworks
well nigh impregnable. Here and there
within the outer fortifications are frown-
ing barricades, breastworks of sacked
sand and other means of protecting gun-
ners and artillerymen against the bullets
and shrapnel of the Invaders. Cannon are
mounted on trestles at commanding points
and numerous machine guns are ready to
send forth their leaden shower at the word
of command.
United States soldiers from vantage
points at Fort Mcintosh have watched with
interest the target practice of the artillery-
men across the Rio Grande the past two
weeks. The gunners, they say, displayed
more than ordinary skill In finding the
targets with their shots.

I he battle without u prolonged siege or
I without the fatal results of a close en-
counter, was the obvious purpose of Con-
stitutionalist eommanders, who repeated
their promise not to direct their fire Into
( lilted States territory.
Three or four Federals who had waded
thruugn the muddy river said they had
seen as many as several hundred dead
lying near one place. They said the rank
ot the federal army was fighting without
eutousiasin aud that all the wounded were
left uncared for. Many wished to desert
ac ross the border but were prevented by
tear that they would be shot by their own
officers, they said.
The events of the day caused little un-
easiness among the United States border
patrol.
KE1) CROSS TO EKKCT HOSI'lTAL
More supplies for lied Cross field serv-
ice were brought to Presidio aud a hos-
pital tent is to be erected on this side
Nurses and physicians who are to come
from KI 1'aso are not to lie permitted on
the Mexican side until hostilities have
ceased. '
The wounded that cross the river are to
be cared for on this side. Fear of sum-
mary execution should they be captured
by Constitutionalists was "said to have
prompted six of the eleven Federal gen-
erals in OJlnga to arrange for crossing the
river at a point remote from Presidio
It was reported to the American troops
that these generals, including l'ascual
Oro*co and Ynez Salazar, already hail
been across the border. Salazar and brofo
were mentioned by Villa us two of the
Federal eommanders who would suffer the
severest penalty.

CHICAGO GIVES NOISY GREETING

CHICAGO, Dec. r.l. With a "sane" Now
Year's ordered by the police, n $250,000
flood of • liunipagne turned on by res
tanrnnt8 and a watch night tcrvlce in at-
most every church, f'hicagoans had their
choice of elehrations tonight.
Horns. «onfetti and ticklers were forbld-
den by Mayor Harrison, but street crowds
had plenty of noise producers. The res-
taurant gaiety showed the influence of the
widespread contagion of the tango and
other new dances. There was less noise
and less breakage, it was said, but more
singing and dancing than ever before.
There was no cessation of the uproar
until the early hours.
An army of 250 church workers was err
listed by «»ne law enforcement league to
take evidence of violations of the closing
act. Restaurant keepers, notified of this
did not make any change in arrangements,
THOUSANDS DANCE YEAR OUT
That the Feature of New York's New
Year Celebration.
NEW YORK, Dee. ;;l. Dancing, dancing
everywhere, was the notable feature of New
Year's celebration in New York. The peo-
ple danced not only In the places levoted
to the latest style of dancing, but even in
the most conservative hotels, which in th».
past have frowned upon such amusement In
their rooms. The number of those who
dined and then danced in establishments
of Broadway is placed at from <10,000 to
70,000. A like number found accommoda-
tions elsewhere .
Although Mayor Kline has expressed
himself In favor of a "sane" New Year's
celebration, a noiseless one, and hud even
hinted at the suppression of tin horns,
cowbells and other noise producers. New
Yorkers generally saw the old year out and
and the new year in in the manner still
popular with its citizens.
A spirit of reverence was not. 1a« king,
however. Crowds in Madison Square nu<l
in City Hall Park took a serene Interest in
the coming of another year, and In Old j
Trinity the same quality was noticeable.
RAIN DAMPENS CALIFORNIANS
Main New Year's Celebration in San
Francisco Will Be Beld Saturday.
8AN FRANCISCO. Dee. 31.—A down- j
pour of rain slackened the enthusiasm of j
New Year's Eve throngs throughout Cali-
fornia, making noisy demonstration out of j
the question. To make amends in part for !
the weather, Chief of Police White of San
Francisco "raised the lid" to the extent of
permitting all night dancing lu restau-
rants and cabarets. The main celebration
will be held Saturday ulght, when street
dancing, sanctioned by the municipality,
will be a feature.
Los Angeles, Sacramento and other Cali-
fornia cities were compelled to do their
celebrating Indoors. Spokane celebrated
with extinguishing of lights on its muni-
cipal Christmas tree. In Seattle the first
municipal celebration of New Year's Eve
took place lu City Hall Park, under ideal
weather conditions.

WE jfll a great many Pilot Acetylene lighting plant*
to dairy farmer*. Because dairy farmers can get
even more out of an Acetylene initallation than anybody else.
Our dairy farmet patrons make these Acetylene plants
do double work. They run an cztia line of pipe t* each
barn—and sometimes to other outbuildings. In these
buildings they fasten the great balls of Acetylene tight to
timbers and rafters.
They also equip these lights with ignition devices—to
make them light with the pull of a chain without matches.
Two of these Acetylene bam lights will make a big dairy
barn as light as day. They will give more light than a
dozen lanterns—and unlike lanterns, they cannot be tipped
over.
The same is true of Acetylene house lights. They burn
in handsome stationary bronze or brass fixtures securely
fastened to ceilings or walls.
You can tell one of these Acetylene lighted dairy barns
from the road—a quarter of a mile a«ay. The light is
extremely brilliant. It is also soft and white in color—so
nearly like sunlight that scientists have used it with
success to grow plants on an extensive scale.
These qualities make it a
cheerful light. Unquestion-
ably it helpa to keep the
whole household happy
and contented. Weak, dingy,
yellow lights, on the other
hand, just ai surely tend to
make people dull spirited and
gloomy.
That is why we say Acetyteae light is a mighty Mg help
towards keeping the country boys and girls from drifting
to the city.

Acetylene is too a boon to the women folks in another
