Villa's army were dispatched today to all sections of state of Chihuahua to enlist every available fighting man so that Villa's division of the north will equal in strength all other divisions combined when the constitutionalists enter Mexico City. Frenchmen arrived today from Za catecas and exonerated Villa person ally from blame for the execution at Zacatecas of Catholic priests and Christian Brothers, who were French citizens. They said the executions were ordered by Gen. Urbina, a Villa officer, and that the imprisonment of 16 other priests and the extortion of large sums of money from them were perpetrated by Gen. Manuel Chao, former Vilfista governor of Chihua hua. It is understood a special rep resentative of the French government is en route to investigate. STORY OF THE PATROL THAT'S A SNAKE-IN-THE-CRASS By Jane Whitaker. This is the story of a patrol wagon. Not a clanging, rushing, excitement breeding patrol wagon that causes the kiddies on the street to forget their game of ball and stretch their legs after it, but a quiet, sneaky, not-a-single-bell patrol that winds slowly along in back of cars and wagons and creeps in and out like a snake for all the world as though it was ashamed of itself and I rather guess it is. I watched it yesterday while the sun, intolerable in its heat, beat down on the girl who was slowly walking to and fro in front of a Knab restaurant. At first it wasn't in sight, the snaky patrol wagon, and I hoped it wasn't coming. Despite the lurid signs in Knab's window, policeman No. 19 had no difficulty in keeping the street clear in front of the Dearborn restau rant, save once when a woman stop ped and sassed the officer when he ordered her to move on. My heart almost stopped beating. "Now she will be arrested, foolish thing," I thought, but No. 19 is an elderly policeman who looks as if he had a family at home and female ways just sort of amuse him, and so the lady who sassed moved on. And then the snaky, ashamed-of-itself-patrol came along, so quietly I did not hear it until I saw officer No. 19 step toward the girl picket and touch her on the arm, and out in the street the patrol had stopped and into it the girl was forced to go though she had been guilty of no crime. To the credit of No. 19 h6 didn't seem to like his job. In fact, he look ed quite disgusted at having to do it. Then I followed the snaky patrol. It turned around Monroe street and the officer moved beside it, but there wasn't any girl on Monrpestreet, so -MAMiaattatattfiiS
