The long continued absence of
Mr. Villa from the Mexican
arena suggest that our friends,
the correspondents, were right
after all, when they announced
that he had kicked the dust of
this troublesome old world off
his sandals and hied him to Ely .
sian fields. It is now nearly
two months since Villa intruded
himself into the general scheme
of things below the border line.
This fact alone does not signify
anything, however, as Mr. Villa,
when last heard from, had sev
eral very good reasons for not
desiring pitiless publicity. Ilut,
it is never the less hard to be
iicve that a gentleman of his
sanguine tcmperatment could
stay under cover for sucb
lengthy period unless something
was radically wrong with his
wq|rks- V illa has been in the
spotlight rather much of the
time during, the past few years
land has, moreover, attaint'd a
prominence most flattering to
lone who could bo^st no more
exalted antecedents that a career
as an humble muleteer of decid
edly shady repute. Having at
tained a place in the sun,, as it
were, it would, naturally, be
rather difficult for him to retire
into the shadows again without
offering some manifestation of a
readiness to “come back,” pro
vided he was given half a show.
in the first place Villa was
hardly the type of man who is
willing to lay down when fate
has landed him a jolt and, sec
ondly, the lime light is the hard
est thing in the world to break
away from when one has once
basked in its beneficent glow.
According to all attestations
there was no hungrier seeker for
Viotoriety than this same Villa
even when theflood tide oi revo
lution had lifted him to a place
of power transcending that of
better and worthier mortals.
Even at the zenith of his great
ness, he, in the phrase of the
street, never lbst an opportunity
to break into print, and the
ubiquitous reporter, eke photog
rapher, were ever welcome at
tendants during the later periods
of his career. In a dozen and
dne different way? he Showed
that unsalable hunger for prom
inence usually evidenced by
those whom some varying freak
of fortune has raised to the
heights of transsitory frame. All
of which makes it still more dif
ficult to believe that he would be
content to retire int$ the depths
of obscurity merely because a
few soldiers were chasing aim
lessly up and down the country
look for him without the least
idea of where to find him.
A man of his disposition might
run to cover for a time when
things were not going his way
but it is very unlikely that such
seclusion would continue longer
than the exigencies of an imme
diately dangerous situation re
quired.
Also, it is in the very nature
of one of the vain, boastful, brag
gadocio type f>i mortals, of which
all chroniclers agree that Villa
was a shining example, to lose
no opportunity to jeer at the dis
comfiture of his enemies, even
though he be compelled to jeo
pardize his safety in so doing,
lint he has done neither this nor
anything else that he might be
expected to do were he in the
land of the living.
This, more than any other fact
fin connection with his disap
pearance, lends a significant air
of certainty to the reports of his
demise.
However, dead or alive, the
reporters have lost a most pro
lific source of copy and his pass
ing will doubtless be deeply de
plored by that fraternity. With
out exception, no figure that has
ilashed across the horizon of the
world’s view in recent years has
furnished so much material |or
the correspondents or awakened
such universal interest as that
unique bandit—mule driver—
warrior liberator son of old Mex
ico who rose from the dust to
almost sovereign heights. Re
gardless of his later failings, he
was a great figure, in addition to
being one of singular attraction
because of the remarkable phases
of his varied career
SWEDEN TO RESTRICT
BRITISH TRAFFIC MOVE
LONDON.—The Snaellpost
cn, of Copenhagen, says the
Swedish Minister of Justice has
appointed a royal commission to
prohibit the transportation thru
Swedish territorial waters of all
such goods as are forbidden to
be exported from Sweden. The
prohibition affects England,
which, through Danish mer
chants, has been sending ship
ments to Russia,the ships steam
ing well within the Swedish
three-mile limit, where German
warships cannot come. Swed
ish cruisers and torpedo boats
have stopped several attempts
by Germans to interfere with
this traffic.
This new step, the newspapers
point out, will make the Baltic
still -more a closed inland sea,
the conditions being especially
aggravated by the new mine
field which the Germans have
laid at the entrance into the Bal
tic.
The Swedish Social Demok- j
raten asks whether German mine i
laying is being carried out so as
to permit small ships at least to
go around the southernmost
point of Sweden. This news
paper adds that it expects Swed
en to protest if any intention is
shown of placing the entire Bal
tic traffic under German control.

“HIPRESS”
White Boot
“With the Red-Line

'=s*' » You know that when a Boot
,£*. comes in and simply sweeps the country
like ‘‘HIPRESS” has done, it's GOT to
be SOMETH IJftT UNUSUAL—for Alaska wear
is the supreme test for Boot Quality.
White Goodrich ‘‘HI PRESS” Boots actually wear longer than iron or steel!
You don’t have to half-sole them with leather—they far outwear hob
nailed leather soles.
r ■
The reason for this nnasnal service hi that “HIPRESS” are constructed by
an entirely new proem*—fifty years ahead of the old-fashioned bout. They
are made of the same tough rubber that goes into Goodrich Auto Tires—
welded together under enormous prepare INTO ONE SOLID PIECE 1
There’s nothing to come apart—they can't leak, peel, crack or split!
They’re comfortable, too—shaped to the foot while its working. We
promise that once yon start wearing White “ HIPRESS” yon*11 never be
satisfied with anything else.
And remember—there is hat ONE “HIPRESS” Boot—it tuts
a Red-Line ’round the Top.
DEALERS: if not already stocked on “HIPRESS” write at sacs for samples and prism.
This is the boat soiling, best wearing Boot cm put into Alaska.
