The Seventh United States Cavalry under Col. Dodd gave a * good account of itself. Thirty Villistas killed, two machine guns, besides horses, saddles and arms, taken—all by troops that had just marched fifty-five miles in seventeen hours. Yet only four Ameri- cans were wounded and none seriously. Uncle Sam’s riders are better seasoned than some of their platform critics would have us believe. Hernandez, who commanded Villa’s forces, was among the killed, but Villa himeelf was not present. This looke as if the dieabled brig- and were mainly concerned in defending the approaches to his hiding places—changing from one to another as the chase grows hotter. Carranza troops are co-operating with Americans to close in on him and bring him toa halt. The faster the pursuit can be kept up the better the chance of forcing him to a decisive battle. aan TO WHAT END? T IS har to see what possible advantage England can find in I the seizure of American securities owned in Germany. There can be no way of enforcing ownership of such property in behalf of the British Government? Rightful owners of stocks or bonds have only to give notice of the loss of their certificates to be protected in their titles until euch time as the circumstances of the loss can be established. England cannot confiscate this sort of property. She can only cause incon- venience, which is bound to be felt by her friends in America as much as by her enemies in Germany. Does it never occur to the British authorities that there are better ways of cultivating this country’s friendship and good will than by unwarranted tampering with its mails? epics diaatichennans TO LEARN FACTS ABOUT GASOLINE. EWS that the Senate has ordered the Attorney General to find N out why the price of gasoline is being boosted beyond the reach of American consumers will be particularly welcome to the millions in country and city who now use motor vehicles and motor engines as indispensable aids to farming and business, Last January The Evening World called attention to signs that the oil interests were starting in to “valorize” gasoline and urged the Federal authorities to “look into the present exorbitant and arbitrary cost of this product.” Government investigation is now assured. Oil monopoly ecemes able to transmit its instincts unimpaired to all its dispersed parte. The oil companies can’t find steamers enough to take gasoline to Europe, where they can sell it at sensational fig- ures. “Therefore, as this newspaper has repeatedly pointed out, they use the supply and demand argument to extort war prices from American consumers.

HE Mason & Seaman Transportation Company, which went into the hands of receivers yesterday, was the surviving repre- sentative of the once powerful Taxicab Trust and the bitterest of the present taxicab ordinance for which The Evening World fought ite victorious fight. ‘After the new ordinance went into effect, while independent taxicab proprietors were seeking business at legal rates, on the prin- ciple of equal rights for all and may good service win, the Mason-Sea- man Company constantly attacked the law, evaded its provisions, and tried in every possible way to run its business on the old basie of priv- ilege, private service and special rates. To-day thousands of taxicabs owned by individual proprietors and smaller companies are making good profits operating under the law. If the Maeon-Seaman Company has not fared as well, it cannot blame the ordinance. Its own methods have been at fault. The best hope for its stockholders is reorganization under managers of a later school of taxicab service, who realize that the old days of private stands, hotel graft and extortion are gone beyond recall. ——— Herr Schiller should have run the Matonpo into Norfolk and interned her!

When Beauty Lost. NCE upon a time there were two young women. They were very good friends, One of the girls was very pretty while the other was rather plain, ‘These girls had mutual friends and would go to visit them together, Al- ways the attractive girl was the cen- tre of all admiration; while her friend remained in the rear, having heen 30 accustomed to take that place that she was rather “backward.” However, always, after a fow days, when people were better acquainted with her they found that there was something sweet and winsome about her, The pretty girl had many admirers and finally she chose one among them all and decided to have him until “death did them part.” He was tho “eatch of the season” and thoroughly worth while, The engagement was announced and all was joyful. No one was more glad for her happiness than the plain friend. A few months afterward at one of these pleasant house parties which both girls attended there was a man who had just returned from foreign lands where he had done big things that meant much in the world's work, He was at once the centre of the group, the idol of the hour, Yet he was’ a quiet man, busy with big thoughts, and had not much time for gayety. Ho met the plain girl and often sat with her while the others were mak- ing merry, Soon he sought her 6o- ciety more than that of the others. At last he saw the beautiful soul in her and wanted to be always at her side, To make a long fable short, ne told huahua, Sonora, and other Northern ful and far reaching effects of such | Mexican states, correspondence and of the gleams of] “But you would think that Senator light thus found, and urges others to] Smoot of Utah sbould be able to look take up the work, GG. |after the Mormon Interests In the mee Senate without Senator Borah's as- 6 sistance. ‘The situation clarifies a bit ‘To the Uditor of The Krenin when you learn that the Mormon Which Is correct Church not only controls polities. in am real sorry,’ R Uteb, but in idaho as well It be. her all about it and she felt just as he did, They also quietly became ene gaged. In great glee she told the se- had been chums so long. The pretty one was astonished to think that although she had captured &@ real prize, here was the plain girl actually making the VERY BEST match of the season—winning the much-talked-of man. Everybody would envy the plain girl, she thought. She became un- happy over it; for this man had seem- ingly not shown any preference fur her whatever, Her so-called pride being piqued, she decided on a course, She managed always to be with the Plain girl when the plain girl's flan was about. She used all her attrac- tions to win him away, Her flance saw the drift of things. Finally, in a heated quarrel, she broke off her own engagement, and now bent every energy to win the other man. Pretty soon the truth dawned on the plain girl; and she feared she was standing in the way again; that she was too plain to expect a big man like this to love her. So she wrote him a note and, without explanation, said that she wanted to be free, The man was astounded. He came to the pretty girl and told her of his misery, and begged if she knew tho cause of her chum's action. That was her chance. She tried to soothe him by talking sweetly to him and using all the artifices that woman is heir- ene toy But to no purpose. while he listened, yearned for the other.
