war footing. He ' instructed Major j
Gerhardt commanding the Tenth j
infantrv to sead two companies ot j
infantry to patrol the Gatun locks

soldiers were given one hundred
rounds of ammnnitiou each and will
camp near the locks.
What is a woman to dc if she finds
that her husband is making love to
another woman? This is probably
one of the oldest questions in the
world. One would think there were
no new ways of dealing with it in
literature. And yet it is safe to say
that no one has ever handled the
question in a manner so unique as
does Albert Payson Terhune in a
short story called "Men's Idols" in
the RED ROOK MAGAZINE for
May. Mr. Terhune's effort seems to
prove that no matter what happens
men always come back to their first
love.

Prosperous City in Ruina.
Nucvo Laredo the thriving Mex-
ican border town opposite Ibis place
was in ruins last night devastated
by the dynamite and fire set tiy
Mexican federal soldiers who late
Friday began an orgy of destruction
which did not end until they were
forced to flee southward before the
guns of the American borler patrol.
Two Mexicans are known to have
hi en killed by tlto Fnited States
troops. Several brisk skirmishes
between the Americans and Mexicans
were fought in quick succession as
the Mexicans their troop trains
ready to pull out of the burning
cllv. began an Indiscriminate fire
across the international boundary
but tonight there was no evidence
that their shooting had been effect-
ive. Property damage in Nuevo Laredo
will reach $500000 among the
buildings destroyed being tfie United
States consulate the municipal
building the postoffice the theatre
the flour mill one of the largest In
tills section of the southwest; the
railroad shops of the Mexican Na-
tional railway and other smaller
structures. Kerosene and other com-
bustibles liberally used added to the
wreckage which otherwise would not
have been great owing to the adobe
onstt ruction largely used. There
was no property loss In Laredo.
Polh international bridges are safe
although efforts to dynamite them
resulted in the death of two men
engaged In tie undertaking. One
Mexican was shot by a sharpshooter
from the top of the water tower.
The Mexican was trying to reach
the end of the international foot
and wagon bridge. Another was
killed when he tried to blow up
the Mexican end of the international
railroad bridge. American sokliers
are constantly stationed at the Am-
erican etil to prevent such an at-'
tempt.
When the Mexicans finally depart-
i d order was quickly restored in
I-amlo but strong guards remained
throughout the city. A serious prob-
lem was furnished immigration and
city authorities by thj presence here
of hundreds of refugee from the
burning city who had to he fur-
nished food and shelter.
