15,000 Carranza Troops on
Left flank of Pershing Camp.
El Paso, Texas, May 24.—By
the end of the week, Gen. Jacinto
Trevino, commander-in-chief of
the assembling Carranzista army
at Mapula, just south of Chihua-
hua City, will have 15,000 Mex-
ican soldiers available for pa-
trolling General Pershing’s left
flank.
This is the information brought
here by travelers from Chihua-
hua City.
Trains from Saltillo and other
points east and south are running-
overtime, it is said, bringing.re-
inforcements to Trevino’s army.
About 1000 men of all ages and
sizes and all kinds of equipment
from fowling pieces to modern
rifles, are pouring daily into Ma-
pula.
Army officers here were very
much inclined to take these re-
ports seriously, especially since
inquiries from Washington were
checking them up in essentials.
It became known that General
Scott had telegraphed from
Washington to both official and
unofficial sources of information
here asking for immediate news
on the reported threatening con-
centration of CarranziBta forces
in Chihuahua.
Chihuahua City, the arrivals
from that point said, resounded
with boastful confidence in the
ability of Trevino’s army to pro-
tect the sacred soil of Mexico
from further invasion.
Many legends have already
sprung up in the cantinas around
the alleged “defeat” of the
Americans in Parral. Even the
street singers have begun to ac-
claim the Mexican exploit. One
refrain winds up with the words,
“And the ^ringoes—they ran,
how they ran.”
The man of them all in Chi-
huahua, who is saying little and
working like a Trojan all the
time, is General Trevino. Such
street gossip as slips from the
headquarters that he has estab-
lished in the magnificent Terrazas
palace sends the northward mil-
itary movement along the North-
western railroad, then fans out
with advance guords about 100
miles or so east and west of Jua-
rez.
Enters Ranger Service.
Thomas Terry, a Lampasas
county boy, left Wednesday
morning for Austin, where he
will report to Henry Ransome of
the state ranger service. He will
be located on the Mexican bor-
der for the present. He was rec-
ommended for the service by
Sheriff Mace. _

heroics of Russian Amazons are
brought to light just the same.
A Russian soldier has just been
decorated with the cross of St.
George for gallantry. “He” was
Vera. When the Russians took
Novasiolky, south of the riyer
Styr, and captured 2,000 prison-
ers, no soldier wielded a bayon-
et more handily than Vera. Ev-
ery man of Vera’s regiment de-
served a medal, declare the re-
ports, but Vera, who outwardly
looks exactly like any Russian
private, got the Cross, because
she was a woman. Vera’s com-
rades agreed that if there was to
be a medal, it should go to Vera.
And Vera got it. From Galicia
come3 another story of one of
these Russian Amazons. Tanja
Kakourine cut “his” hair short,
and joined a Russian regiment
because her mother'did the same
in the Russo-Turkish war of 1877,
,T m , . Tanja is 16. She is as brave as

round, healthy face surmounting
a trim military cloak that sets off
her loveliness. She talks and
laughs like a child and is the idol
of rough soldier-comrades who
protect her by common aepord
and aet toward her as fathers
and big brothers. The soldier
who dared touch Tanja unkindly
would die at the hands of hidi
regimental companions.
As Casey Understood It.
Maloney (reading life insurance cir-
cular)—“Phwat’s a ‘table of expect-
ancy’?” Casey—“Shure, it’s some-
thing that proves by statistics thot ye
won’t 4ive as long after yez are sixty
as yez did before.”—Life.

daughter.
Government Wool Demonstrator.
The wool car of the Depart-
ment, which left Livingston,
Mont , on January 19, has given
demonstrations in more than 50
towns of the important sheep-
growing states, to at least 6,000
persons directly interested in
wool growing, Since leaving
Livingston the car has toured
Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and
Utah in order to demonstrate that
the production of better wool
means more money.
A Story for Every “Masher” in the U. S.
Petrograd.—The mashers of
Broadway, New York; State
street, Chicago, or Market street,
San Francisco, can take a lesson
today from the front lines of the
massive Russian army. There
e-re women in these front line
ranks—pretty women, fired by
martial patriotism to fight for
Russia or to avenge a fallen
brother. Every Russian soldier
is a child of the Czar. Every
Russian fighting woman is a
child of her regiment. And she
is protected assiich. It is against
military regulations for women
to be found in Russian regiments.
Consequently, it ^has been sel-
dom that stories of female fight-
ers filtered back to Petrograd
from the fighting fronts. ..But the
has fought in many actions. She
has been recommended for the
Cross. Tanja is pretty; her
Her Suspicion.
“I declare for it, ’-said Aunt Fretty
Fawlts to Mrs. Judge Tubman. “I be-
lieve old Gap’n Peggington is thinking
about marrying again. Burt Blurt says
the cap n painted up his wooden leg
yesterday. Burt didn’t tell me, but he
toM Ellick Smart, and Ellick repeated
it to his sister, Prissy, and Priss told
it to Phecny Partlcw, and Pheeny told
it to the 'sweet potato peddler, and the
sweet potato peddler told me not ten
minutes ago. So I guess it’s so.'”—
