ACCOMPLISHING THE IMPOSSIBL The Gigantic Feat Which Shows That the Insurmountable Can Be Conquered. When the leading engineers of France called a halt on Panama canal | operations, admitting that the prob- -lem was too much for them, .prac- tically the entire world accepted this abandonment as conclusive evidence that the canal was a dream impos- sible of realization. The dauntlessness of. new-world engineers had proved the contrary. The so-called impossible has been ac- complished. The canal is a reality and surpassess every other human achievement up to the present time. Steamship companies are charting new routes which shorten ocean tra- vel several thousand miles per trip. Pacific coast fruits can now be de- delivered in New York by the Pana- ma canal route in sixteen days—only four or five days more than by fast railroad freight, and at a much lower trangpontation charge. This is but one of the many benefits which fol- low the opening of the canal to ocean going vessels. = “Panama and the Canal in Pic- ture and Prose’” is a complete illus- trated story which tells you every- thing there is to know on the sub- ject of Panama. No other book has ever before covered a single subject 'so comprehensively. It answers every question, and does it in such an interesting manner as to hold you spellbound. Of equal importance with the text are the hundreds of thrilling photo- graphs, depicting scenes of rare beauty, the cities, streets, homes and people, besides numerous views of tnc building operations on the canal zone, . The scanning of these photographs of Panama more complete than all you may have seen ‘or read on this subject. Added to this are many magnificent full-page reproductions from copyrighted water-color paint- infgs of Panama scenes, made ex- pressly for this book.

VILLA REPORTED CAPTURED Rebel Leader Should Have Reached - Ojinaga Some Days Ago. Presidio, Tex., Jan. 9.—Though| there was considerable uneasiness among mernbers of the Mexican rebel Jjunta here as to the whereabouts of General Pancho Villa, it was believed there was no foundation in rumors that he had been captured by fed- erals. Villa left Chihuahua City last week with 1,800 men and should have reach- ed La Mula pass, south of Ojinaga, Sunday night. It is believed the rebel chieftain may have encountered a fed- eral force of 4,000 under General Ben- Jamin Argumendo. If so it is prob- able a battle has been fought south of La Mula pass. The federals at Ojinaga, en- couraged by recent successes, are as- suming the aggressive. PREPARING FOR DEGISIVE BATTLE Rebels Again Closing in on Ojinaga, Mex. FEDERALS NOT DBISMAYED| Despite Continued Desertions Officers | in Command of Defending Army Are | Ready to Make Strong Resistance to Proposed Attack. Presidio, Tex., Jan. 9.—Genera.li Francisco Villa's rebel army ‘is closing in on the federal fortifications at Oji- naga, direcily across the boundary line from thig cty. A renewed attack will| be made, p-obably when the aminuni- tion train crrives. Federal commanders were undis- mayed by desertions from their ranks, renewed after several days of deter-i rained fighting. They are preparing! to make a strong resistance to the rebel attack. The next battle probably will be de- cisive as the rebel forces have been augmented by strong reinforcements. On it depends Huerta’s control of the northern district of Mexico. ‘Washington, Jan. 9.—Miss Mabel T. Boardman of 'the Red Cross has sent to National Director Bicknell at La- redo, Tex., requests for help that have come from the people of Marfa, Tex. Congressman W. R. Smith received messages from the chamber of com- merce of Marfa stating that the com- munity is ¢verrun with Mexican refu- and infected with disease. Smallpox has appeared at Presidio, the nearest border town. The local authorities are unabel to cope with the situation.
