| FROM ae ° BY VILLAS FORCE Prisoner Hd by Re by Rebel Leader for $250,000 Ransom Escapes From Chihuahua. ON'WAY TO MEXICO CITY “ Was Threatened With Death, * But Life Was Spared on Plea of Bryan. NEW ORLEANS, La, April 2— Lule Tetrazas jr. the Mexican mil- Monaire, whom Villa was holding for theeatened by his captor several times, has escaped, according to re- port here. No details of the escape are known beyond statements that the wealthy prisoner of the rebels was aided in his flight by an old servant of the Terrazas family, and a follower of Villa, who was induced to turn against his chief and aid the pris- oner. The report adda that the three made their way to Saltijlo, which Is outside the zone controlled by the rebels, and will ot to Mexico City. On March 6 it was reported from Chihuahua, where Terrazas was held, that he ad only a few hours to live. A demand for $500,000 pesos ($250,000 in gold) had been made upon the Prisoner's father, the aged Gen. Luis Terrazaga, who had fled to El Paso when the Federal garrison evacuated Chihuahua, Gea. Terrazas then declared he had been stripped of his entire fortune by the rebels and was unable to meet Villa’s rapacious demand. In his extremity the aged General first offered to take his son's place, then appealed to the United States Government, and, after a hint from Secretary Bryan, Villa let the younger Terrazas out of prison and permitted bim to take up his residence in the Gen. Terrazas in Chihuahua. Several women members of the Terrazas Yumily were also in the great resi- fenci uls's movements were not much festricted after that, it was reported, although he was kept under surveil- jance. * In the past few days reports had come from Chihuahua that he had disappeared. ‘These reports, pub- Mshed in the United States, alarmed Gen. Terrazas, who feared Villa had taken him to Torreon and placed him in the thick of the fighting there. mn. Terrazas, a warm supporter of Porfirio Diaz, was once Governor of the State of Chihuahua, in which he owned probably the largest ranch in the world, since confiscated by Villa, An American syndicate is re ported to have offered Villa $6,000," 000 for. the ranch. ‘The General is more than eighty years old and Luis is in “the fifties” and the father of thirteen Uving chil- dren, # as AGED WOMAN BURNS.

The American is tall and straight and broad-shouldered, with an easy, unaffected c: He has a clean-cut, clean-shaven face, which shows clearly the outline of chin and jaw. The Frenchman is much smaller and stighter, physically. And then he will wear so\much hair on hit face! If it isn’t long, bristling mustaches, with carefully waxed ends that curve upward over the cheeks, it's side-whiskers and a chin beard. “And I don't like the effect,” Miss Brewster added frankly. She ts a typical daughter of Uncle Sam, tall, brown-haired and bine-eyed, with sea tan and sea wind flush staining her cheeks, She was a school mate of Vivien Gould, now Lady Decies, and a former neighbor of the Goulds at Lakewood, N. J. The visit to Paris, from which she has just returned, was her first trip abroad Yet, after all, good looks ts a com- paratively negligible figure in the sum of a man’s personality. I wondered how Miss Brewster would rate the American man in respect to brains, courtesy and character, “People have told me," I sald, “that the Frenchman excels as a conver- Bi sationalist. Did you find him the American's superior?” Sho shook her head. “The Frenchman talks about French things,” she explained, “and sometimes about the European ceun- tries nearest to him. But tho Ameri can talks about American things, nd to me his subjects are more in- teresting, As to the charge that he indulges in shop talk, IT think that's the most fascinating sort of conver- sation, facility than the Frenchman in ex- pressing himself on the ‘topice of bis choice, FRENCHMEN EXPECT FLAT- TERY FROM WOMEN. “The Frenchman {s 80 conceited!
