A law school for those desiring to enter the legal profession and several night schools for workingmen have l>een established in the city of Vic toria, capital of Tamaullpas. For the first time in a number of years the National Schoo, at Fine Arts has prepared a public exhibition of painting* and art works which is said to be extensive and interesting as well as instructive. The members of the school have *hown great enthu*ia*m in the revival of this feature. From various portions of the Re public is received information of the establishment of periodicals, both daily and weekly. The police of the city of Monterey report thut city to be unusually free 'rom all manner of violations of the law, and that no more than two or three arrest* are ».u<!e daily.

The school established in Hermosillo some time ince for the education of the children of the Yaqui Indian tribes i t' the mountains of Sonora has proved a great success. Many pupils are in attendance and the number is con stantly increasing. Certain fertile lands made available by the drainage of the shores of Luke San Cristobal, in the Valley of Mexico, have been divided into tracts of ?V4 acres each, which are sold to small cultivators at the rate of $100 national specie per lot, 10 years' time being allowed for payment.

CARRANZA TIPPED OFF THE CERMAN INTPICUE. Gave President Wilson Fact* j Concerning Zimsacrmann Ef forta to Ally Mexico. El Paso, Tex., March 11,—First. ! Chief Carranza himself disclosed to . President Wilson Germany'* offer of a coalition with Mexico and Japan 1 against the United States. A. plot was formed against Car ranza's life as a result of thia action but it was discovered in time and the first chief fled t'i rtuadalajara for \ protection. These facts were disclosed last night ' by investigators for American capital ists who • have interests in Mexico. They made public on the eve of the elections in Mexico tomorrow. According to the aunt's reports no sooner had Carranza received Dr. Zimmermann's note offering Ger many's hacking for Mexico in u war with the United States than Mexico's executive dispatched a special mes.-uge to Washington with the German foiei ! gn secretary's original letter. The first chief's tnove was quickly discovered by Mexiran agents of the i German legations and the assassin* ; tion plot was about to be carried out j when it was discovered. Carranza's action in warning Presi dent Wilson of the German intrigue ii; said to explain the change of front on the part of the American administra tion towards Mexico and to mark the ! beginning of new phases in tht rela | Lions between the two countries.

W Monroe Talked with Edu cated American Who Servi-d Under the Mexican General. Greensboro News, 12th. Had the American government re cogrrized Villa instead of Carranza, {he trouble in Mexico would have been set tled by now, according to the belief of an American who held a colonel's com mission under the outlawed leader . O. W. Monroe, of Creensboro, has just | returned from Cuba. *nd while there he met this colonel of Villa's army and got well acquainted. He talked fre quently with him, and was highly pleased with the character of the soldier of fortune who had served under Villa's orders until very recently when the indications' were that the United States might be embroiled in real warfare with the republic to the south. Then Villa told afl of his men who were citizens of the United States to depart the country before too late. "I know that should trouble come, resulting in a real struggle, that you would be loyal to the United States at heart, and therefore I want you to leave now while you c.m," V1II9 told the Americans, according to this of ficer, So he is in Cuba, awaiting re adjustment of the international situa tion, So that he may return to the army of Villa. The American professed a great ;ul , miration of Villa. He told Mr. Monroe that the Mexican had been greatly un derestimated and.much misunderstood by Americans. He is not educated and he realizes his handicap, but he is a great natural leader of men and a real patriot, so the soldier who served under him said. He also told the Greensboro man that Villa didn't want to be President of Mexico, wouldn't take the office, indeed, because he felt his Inadequacy for its duties, but he is it fighter, and had he been given the ; prestige which formal recognition by : United Slates gave Carransa, he would i have fought his wny to control of the situation before this, the American stuled. Mr. Monroe was in Cuba, talking of war many miles away, and all the time i didn't know that he -"as in a land torn liy revolution. He saw two little ifroup* of men earned under guard ' and imprisoned in Morrn castle, but he didn't kn«w what it was ail about, :tnd the people generally didn't seem to know, he stated. Not nnlil Mr. ! Monro* reached the United States and rettd the impyi < ovat here, (ltd ha real ise that Cuba is experiencing a small j war of her own. ACCOUNT GIVEN OF THE NEW BRITISH ARMIES. London, England— In an account publiJiml by the War Office and re ferred to mm frutn- an "authoritative Mturrtt," the organization and train ing of the now armiu whi.h ram* into being on the firat «»uthreak of war in August, 1V14, ia described. The account, which ia to be Untied in three parts, deals in pan 1 with the firat period of lean well urganizad training, viz., Auguat, 1914, to December, lilUi, and *h< w* in part many difficulties which had to be »urmount«d. Part 11 will take un the narrative from early in 1916 and onwarda when the prelim inary stagex and difficulties had been overcome, awl < well organize'! *#« Un set up. Cart 111 will touch on the development and training of special corpa, Huch an the K. K., R. A. Machine (jun Oorp«, etc. liila taut part will overlap parts 1 and 11 to iiome ex tent. The Hrcount opens with a refer ence to the army that went out to Mona, to which it refers aa probably the best trained army, trained in peace time, that ever left England, pointing nut that »o far aa auch training could go regimental officers and men could hardly have been improved. There waa available also for the first time a highly tiained general staff. These ends had been accomplished by a steady attention to and removal of the drawback* and want of train ing that were found to exist during the long drawn out Boer War, in which 'he sturdy farmer* and their helpers aught the British army lesson* that 'iv« since been put to Rood account. ■ that war the number of officer* , ...; r a keen interest in their work I e almost the total, instead of a small percentage, and the ^/krious staff college* (one being in Iorti»t-, cavalry and other schools were greatly extended and developed. I'art of the expeditionary force was trained under the men who would lead them in war in a practical way such a* had never before been seen in England. "The <•» lurance and marching power, the sk^i at arm*, the intelligence, and above all, the morale of the soldiers of this fine body of men, had been brought to the pitch which enabled them to add another laurel to Eng land'* military record in the great retreat from Moni»." In military experience of small op eration* all over the world the British army has far *urpa. sed all other* and this experience has given rise to resourse, independence and self-reli ance in both officer* and men. Thi*, it in claimed, help* the British soldier to that quality of never knowing when he is beaten—a quality shared by the French- another peculiarity i* the strong regimental feeling of esprit de corprf which exist* in every regiment and is fostered with the greatest care, so that every man feels that his and his alone is the finest regiment in the army, and thi* loyalty to his regiment leads to loyalty to the army. I't spite of recent military *ervice act* thi' British' army remains in character fundamentally a volunteer army. The training is given "in a spirit of loyalty," self-reliance, and kindness, "a spirit in which the officer leads" and the man follow*—'noblesse oblige' —because the officer anil noncommis sioned officer have been taughl by the traditions of the British army, handed on by the few men of the old army left to train them, to look alter their men, to put their comfort before their own, to join in their games until, in Field Marshal Lord Wolseley'* words "they regard him as one of themselves, a companion and a friend. For and with such a man they will brave any <langer or endure any amount of pri vation. "It is a broad minded and tolerant method which insists on smartness, on duty and discipline and high courage and courtesy, but not on hate: now it has become a code of morality, one may almost call it, taught systemati cally in the training establishment* for officers and N. C. O's at home and in France. Several extracts are given from note* prepared for one of the army school* in France, on such subject* as patriotism, giving a* an example 90,! 000 Boers fighting the whole British Empire for 2H years: Comfort of the men in billets: making a man who joins your company feel "at home." No one, the writer points out, wly> watched the long column* of recruit* in the early days of the war and saw the straight brave look in their eye* could fail to see that this wa* the kind of man ready to respond to such train ing, and though the later stage* of Derby recruit* and conscripts did not have that look of absolute certainty universal at first, a day or two with the army brought it out in those in whom it was lacking.

GREENSBORO NURSERIES & STOCK FARMS. John A. Young & Sons, Greensboro, N. C. Zeppelin and His Invention. Charlotte Observer. Count Zeppelin's fame as an inven i tor waned with the waning of the fame of the Zeppelin airship. In the early days of the war certain performances , of the big balloon crave promise that ( ihe Zeppelin was d«' tined to play an important' part in destructive opera : tions, but about the best it did wa.i to ! . care people. It was a terror until the :ij/ship (runs devised to keep it at a life distance came into play, and after that, except for an occasional visit : above London and other British towns, nothing was heard of the dreaded ball oon from which such i-reat things were expected, t'o long .:s the Zep , pelin had the field tu t. 'f, it was , regarded as a ({rent engine of war. Hut it did not hold this field long, i- ollowing the airship guns dkmc a I tleet of swiftly-darting airplanes which could assail the lialloon from : above and from either side, and it was i these airplanes, pursuing the balloon i like so many bee martins would pursue a ciow, that finally made the opera tions of the Zepjielin practically use less, except for scaring purposes, and drove it from the field. The Zeppelin as an irritant was renuereti largely in effective by the invention of counter irritants. Sydnor & Sparger Insurance Agents MOUNT AIRY, N. C. Office in Merritt Tuildinj?.
