Jl tionalists and Their
Ultimate Goal.
El Paso, Tex., July 10 The speedy
return of General Villa's army south
ward from Chihuahua City to resume
the campaign against Mexico City
was predicted here today, following
the receipt of advices from Torreon
that the internal peace conference
was finally ended and a report of
Its transactions soon would be given

With Guadalajara in' constitutional
ist hands, and San Luis Potosi be
sieged by the revolutionists, there
-remain only two or three points of de
fense for the federals between the
'national capltol and the southern
'edge of the territory controlled by the
revolutionists. On the east General

20.000 men holds dominion from the
border to San Luis Potosi, twenty -
Jour hours bv rail from Mexico
Cty.
i In the center, General Villa s divi
sion occupies the country' from Juarez

ico. W To the west, General Obregon has
A Btretched his lines as far as Guadala-
m ,Jara, second largest city In the repub-
h flic, and within six hours ride by rail
W 'way to the central goal.
Three Divisions to Join.
i Once San Luis Potosi Is captured,
'the three military divisions of the
'Constitutionalist forces will converge
on Mexico City according to asser
tions made in El Paso today, by both
: Carranza and Villa followers. When
'this combination is affected, sixty
I thousand men will be available for
'the movement against the ultimate
goal.
It was predicted here that this con
centration will take place at Celeya,
state of Guanajuato, and eight hours
ride from Mexico City. This point
(is a Junction of National Railways
from Guadalajara. Aguas Calientes

Formidable Towns to Conquer.
Before the three armies arrive
there, two or three strongl fortified
towns held by Huerta's troops, includ
ing Guanajuato and Silao must be
captured From Celeya, the meeting
point, the combined armies would
.have before them only one fortified
city. This Uj Queretaro, ninety miles
,from Mexico and the place where Hu
erta, according to General Obregon,
'intends to make his last stand.

"J vice president, Claude P. Brlggs,

A bitter denunciation of the pres-
Wk ent system uttered by Dr. J. H Frau

fetorm of unfavorable criticism by a
number of delegates present at to

"God bless the girl who refuses

'causes many girls to lose their souls.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
NEEDJHANGES
: Educational System Must Be1
Re-adjusted or Schools Will
Become Decayed.
TEACHING OF RELIGION
Agitation Based on Three
Misapprehensions Shorter
Courses and Longer
Hours Advocated.
St. Paul. Minn , July 10 "Unless
certain adjustments are made in the
educational system, the public schools
of America will lose their hold on our
civilization and continue to exist only
as a decaying institution "
This was the' declaration of J H
Francis, superintendent of schools,
Los Angeles, in 3n address before
the annual convention of the National
Educational association which closes
a week's session tonight "Every j
child has a right to freedom in the
pursuit of his normal development,
free from mental, religious, political
6r financial exploitation on the p3rt
of those stronger than himself," Mr.
FTancls continued.
Quiet opposition of powerful or
ganizations toward any change lead
ing to greater independence of
thought or freedom is one of the men
acing difficulties facing those who
would institute a system of schools
to meet the needs of the child."
Teaching of Religion.
Henry F Cope of Chicago, speaking
before the religious education asso
ciation of which he is general secre
tary, said "the present agitation for
the teaching of religion in the public
schools Is based on three misappre
hene!on6 as follows:
"First, that the 6tate may properly
teach religion; second, that religion
can be taught as mathematics and
many other subjects can and third,
that teaching religion would solve all
the problems of youthful delinquency
and cure the general public apathy to
ecclesiastical affairs
"In recent times the attempts to
meet that instruction in religion has
taken on a large degree of education
al seriousness. The Churches are fac-1
ing In that direction. It is the duty j
of the state to recognize every' seri
ous endeavor to meet educational
needs. Whenever the work of the
Sunday schools or similar agencies
rises to the level of the work of the
public schools that common level of
educational efficiency ought to have I
public recognition.'
Shorter Courses Needed.
Shorter courses and longer hours
Were among the changes advocated
by the commission on the re-organlza-Uon
of the methods of teaching man- j
ual training in secondary schools in i
its annual report submitted today.

Seward. Alaska, July 10. Further
details of the tremendous volcanic
activity in progress along tho Alas
kan peninsula west of Seward, and
reaching to the Aleutian islands, were
given today by Captain McMullen of
the steamer Dirigo. which brought
first news of the outburst.
Observations made by the crew of
the Dirigo July 1 showed that a new
crater had opened on the north side
of Mount Shishaldln, the most wester,
ly of the three peaks reported in erup
tton. Flowing lava had cut a wide
path In the snow for miles down the
pirle of the mountain. A strong west

smoke from the mountain. Mount

Captain Howell (insert) and scene aboard the Defiance.
The scene aboard the cup defender candidate Defiance was one of animation as the crew of the yacht

at Newport. Though the Defiance was beaten by fully fifteen minutes by the Vanitie in the race off Larch
mont, the sailing master and crew are still hopeful.
i
almost continuous eruption for years
Pavlof volcano, on the Alaska penin
sula, west of the Shumagin island
100 miles off Mount Shishaldln. was
also active when the Dirigo passed.
The action of Pavlof was peculiar, the
mountain throwing out a black ash,
a light fall of which was noticed on
the Dirigo Pavlof. which is less ac

eruption since 1912
Craters at Katmal Active.
The passengers on the Dingo s-iid

six craters in the mountain ridge west
of Cook inlet, known as Mount Kat

none of the other craters has been
active. When the Dirigo was at Cold
Bay, thirty miles west of the vol

FORECASTS TRUE
Campaign Plans of Constitu

ized to Astonishing
Degree.
Douglas, Ariz.. July 9. Satisfactory
oineuH In the easy victory achieved
Wednesday by constitutionalists at
Guadalajara, capital of Victoriano
Huerta's native state of .Jalisco were
tound today by constitutionalist sym
pathizers along the border.
To an astonishing degree they
pointed out. has the world been taken
into confidence as to the future cam
paign plans of the constitutionalists
and they asserted that not one ven
ture thus far has resulted other than
as predicted They recalled that,
many weeks ago. when General Car
ranza started for El Paso and the
east, it was openly stated that a col
umn of constitutionalists would march
down the west coast and penetrate to
ward Mexico through the province of
Tepk, with Guadalajara ap an objec
tive. They admit that It was the
intention to take Mazatlan on the way
and Mazatlan still stands, but so be
leaxruered that Its defense by the fed
erals Is nothing to worry about.
An important factor in the taking
of Guadalajara from the dispirited
federals is the amount of munitions
of war believed here to have been
taken This also constitutionalists
said, was simply confirmation of an
other advance notice that they
would arm themselves from despoiled
federals if need be.
Guadalajara Is a prosperous town
of perhaps 150.000 inhabitants, with
gcod local commercial interests, back
