THE ALAMANCE GLEANER
TELLS WHEN
I). S. CAN FIGHT
No War Except For Mankind,
Says Wilson.
ADDRESS BEFORE WOMEN
America Will Have Forgotten Tradi
tion If She Fights for Herself, Presi-
dent Declares.
In an address welcoming the
Daughters of the American Revo
lution gathered In Washington
for their annual congress, President
Wilson said that the only excuse
America ever can have for the asser
tion of her physical force Is that she
asserts -It in behalf of humanity.
He was speaking of the purpose of
the republic—born to serve the rest
of the world just as much as itself—
and had just said that the nation will
have forgotten her traditions when
ever she fights merely for herself un
der such circumstances as will show
that she has forgotten to fight for all
mankind.
The president was enthusiastically
applauded. When he was Introduced
by Mrs. William Cummlng Story, pres
ident general of the organization, the
audience stood and cheered, and many
of the women waved American flag 3.
He said: " .
"Tradition Is a handsome thing in
proportion as we live up to it. If we
fall away from the tradition of the
fathers, we have dlnhonored them. If
we forget the tradition of the fathers,
we have changed our character and
we have lost an old impulse; we'have
become unconscious of the principles
in which the life of the nation itself
Is rooted and grounded. Therefore,
this organization undertook to keep
those who fell under its influence con
stantly reminded of the circumstances
of the birth of this nation and of the
significance of the birth, of this na
tion. That significance was a very
singular significance. No other nation
was ever born Into the world with the
purpose of serving the relief of the
world just as much as It served it
self.
"The purpose of this nation was-ln
one sense to afford an asylum to men
ot all classes and kinds who
to be free and to takA part in the ad-'
ministration of a self-governed com
monwealth. It was founded In order
that men of every sort should have
proof given that a commonwealth of
that sort was practicable, not only, but
could win its standing of distinction
and power among the nations of the
world, and America will have forgot
ten her upon any
occasion, she fights moreSy for herself
under such circumstances as will sho'v
that she has forgotten to\jlght for all
mankind. And the only
America can ever have for the as
sertion of her physical force is that
she asserts It in behalf of the inter
est of humai'.ty.
"What a splendid thing It is to have
bo singular a tradition—a tradition of
unselfishness! When America cea e
to be unselfish, she will cease to be
America. When she forgets the tra
dltlons of devotion to human rights
In general which gave spirit and lm-
her founders she will have
lost her title deeds to her own nation
aiity.
"So It Is, to my mind, a very happy
circumstanr* that here In the capital
of the nation, 'fn this home of your
own building, you should meet every
year In order to keep bright the fires
that have always burned upon this
altar of devotion to human rights.
That is the title of this society of dis
tinction and to Immortality."

Outlaw Chief's Wound Is Knss Csus-
Sd His Death—Captured Soldier Led BEGAN CAREER IN PHILA.
Way to Grave.
Pancho Villa's body was taken ou.
of Its lonely grave on Francisco Borja
ranch near Cuslbuirlachlo, Uuitiuahau,
and positively identified, acc.rdln? to
Mexican official advices and private
messages from San Antonio, Mexico.
The bandit died from gangrene as a
reeult of a wound In his left knee.
If the death of Villa, generally cred
ltetd on the border, Is true, the United
States army will immediaely be w.th
drwn from Mexico, the object of its
entry having been accomplished.
The story of the finding of the body
came from several sources. First Car
ranza officials received messages irom
San Antonio and Madera, both in the
state of Chihuahua. Later a private
message from San Antonio, Chlhua
hua, confirmed the fihdlng of the body
and gave the details. This message
said that a former Villa colonel, cap
tured by General Cavzos, a Carranza
commander, offered, if bis life was
spared, to show where Villa was buri
ed. The offer was accepted and he
led a commander under Colunel Carlos
Carranza, nephew of the first ch.ef of
'the constitutionalists, to thjft lonely
grave of the former Me.l:ah czar.
The message salj the body was posi
tively Identified on being taken up
and that an examlnatii n showed that
death had resulted from gangrene, a.s
a result of a gunshot wound In t e
left knee. The bedy wan being br> ng t
to San Antonio to be tai.eu to Chiatia
hua City and then-to Juarez, the mes
sage said. p
Andre Garcia, Carranza icnsul In K1
.Paso, as soon as he receive I the iirst
report of the capture of Villa sent a
telegram to Oovernor Gutierrez, a-k
Ing him to have the body of Villa seu,
to Juarez that Americans m'glit view
It and satisfy themselves o' the death
of the bandit.
The story ot the location of the bo y
tallies with that of a week ago r ga d
lng the deatft of Villa. It wax stated
at tliat time that he died somewhere
in the vicinity of San Antonio or Sate
vo and had been burled on a ranch.
One of the Mexican Informants of Gen
eral Pershing's men at the time ssld
he could point out the grave, but It I
not known if he was given a chance
to do so or not.
The Americans did not credit Un
report of the death and continued their
chase after the men who had been
known to be with Villa, In the hope
that Villa was with them, or at least
if he was he would be capture^
The Carranzlstas placet) more credit
In the repdrt and Immediately took
atepa to locate tbe body If possible.
By accident General Cavacos made a
prisoner of a former colonel on the
staff of Villa. The prlsonsr admitted
that he had been with his chief In
his last days, and said he was present
at the burial. For the price of his
life he offered to convey the Carran
zlstas to tbe grave where they could
exhume the body and satlify them
selves. General Oavsos detailed Colo
nel Carranza for the command and
ordered him to shoot tbe former Vll
llsta U be attempted to get away or
bis story proved false. Tbey were
sent out from Cusl, tbe former assert
ing that Villa's body could be found on
the Francisco Borja's ranch, thirty
miles south.
Later messengers brought In the
news, according to tbe despatches from
Ban Antonio and Madera, that the
body had been taken out of its grave
and hsd been positively Indentifled.
Villa bad been burled, It was ststed,
as he hsd csused so many othera to
be Interred, with his fighting clothes
on and without any sort of a covering
except his everyday apparel. The mes
aage from Ban Antonio said Villa's
trousers on bis right leg bad been
spilt becauea of tbe terrible swelling
resulting from the gangrene In tbe
gunshot wound received at Guerrero.
Tbat tbe bandit chief suffered great
agony before bis death Is reported
from many sources. Tbls was confirm
