BE OUSTED IT
KL TASO, Tex., April 23.—A reli
able American, who has arrived at
the border from Mexico City by way
of .Saltillo and Torreon, said he had
heard unverified rumors there of a
plan for a garrison uprising on or
before May 1, when General Carran
za is to be inaugurated President of
Mexico.
This rumored plan, he said, was a
part of a general movement to have
Obregon seize the government and
was receiving German financial and
moral backing, he added. He said a
prominent Mexican had made a pre
dition to him in Mexico City that1
Carranza never would be president j
nor would the new constitution be
I
put into effect.
He said the concentration of large 1
bodies of de facto troops in the north,!
I
in command of generals loyal to
Obregon rather than Carranza, was
causing much worry in .Mexico City,
and it was said that these troops
were sent north to prevent Carranza
from receiving arms from the United
States, should the embargo lie lifted.
Reports Are Denied.
The reports and rumors were de
nied categorically late yesterday by
Carranza Consul Bravo, who said all
of the humors regarding a break be
tween Obregon and Carranza had
iriginated with Palavachini, the
Mexican editor, who was arrested re
cently for his newspaper attacks up
on Obregon.

PARIS, April 24. A government
commission which was appointed to
investigate German atrocities has
just completed its inquiry in the evac
uated regions of Oise, Aisne and
Somme.
“Everything in this spectacle of
devastation discloses a method of
such implacable and striking uniform
ity that it is impossible not to see in
it the execution of a rigorously pre
pared plan,” says the commission in
its report. “All this was done at the
same time and with the same feroci
ty, in order to bring about misery,
inspire terror and create despera
tion.”
At the beginning of October, the
report affirms, inhabitants of Ver
piliere were arrested on the pretext
that they were communicating with
the French army. They were taken
before a court-martial at Avrieourt
and after an inquiry 12 of them were
marked on the right cheek by a blue
cross.
“We have not yet been informed of
the fate of these prisoners.” says the
report.
"Among persons compelled to leave
their homes,” the report continues,
“were paralytics and persons who
were on their deathbeds.” Specific
details are given in the report regard
ing the pillage of cemeteries. Christs
in silver, it says, were torn from the
crosses and numerous tombs were vi
olated.
On March .'!, says the report, de
portations from the vicinity of Brou
age were ordered. The ill and infirm
were not exempt. The cold was in
tense, and the next day 27 persons
died. Prof. Benneke, an army doctor,
is said to have been shot the same
evening.

Under the gleam of the northern
star, “as it looked down on the un
tracked wilderness 200 miles west of
Fairbanks, Miss Abbie May Hanson
and William Kuhn fell in love. They
were married the other night in Se
attle. Their honeymoon will be spent
on a long and arduous trip to the far
reaches of the country at the mouth
<d' the MacKenzie river in the Arctic.
They will not Tie at home on the shore1
of the Polar sea until next July. No
white woman has yet penetrated the
distant region.
Mrs. Kuhn for four years kept
house for her brother on the western
edge of the Hot Springs district, in
central Alaska, where he and a few
others were prospecting for gold.
There she met her husband. In her
cabin homes during the evenings of
Christmas week her romance and his
kindled in front of the logs burning
in the fireplace. With the advent id'
the new year they became engaged.
He urged that they be wedded in Fair
banks, but she insisted on first visit- f
ing her parents at Horace, Nebraska.
With her brother they left the Hot
Springs diggings and journeyed 550
! miles by means of dog teams over an
unbroken trail in weather that fre
i quently recorded 00 degrees below
i zero. They arrived at last at Chitina,
j a station on the Copper River ft
| Northwestern railroad. From there
' they continued to Cordova, and thence
| by steamship to Seattle, arriving there
| late in March.
Mrs. Kuhn went to Nebraska, while
Mr. Kuhn remained in Seattle. She
returned recently to Seattle, and they
were married at the First Methodist
church by Rev. J. E. Crowther, the
pastor.
Leave For Far North.
The bridal couple left last week for
Edmonton. From there they will go
| to Athabaska Landing, at the head of
navigation on the Athabaska river,
where Mr. Kuhn and two other men,
who were his partners in the Hot
Springs district, will build a scow.
Supplied with an outfit for two years
the party will go down the Slave riv
er, across Slave lake and down the
MacKenzie river, which flows into the.
Arctic. Near the mouth of the Mac
Kenzie camp will be established amt
the men will prospect for gold. One
of the men was in the district a few
months ago, but was forced to come
out because of a shortage of foo»L
They have high hopes of striking
“pay dirt.”
There will be another member of
the party. He is now traveling over
land from Fairbanks, having left
there early this month with a string
of 17 dogs. He will join the party
next July on the MacKenzie.
Mrs. Kuhn will sllare equally in any
strike. She is a prepossessing young
woman, with auburn hair, blue eyes
and a most bewitching smile. Her
figure is trim and athletic.
It's the Only Life.
“It'.- the only life,” she said, dis
cussing her past experiences and
speculating on the future. “In the
last four years I have traveled 2,000
or 3,000 miles over winter trails be
hind dog teams when the weather was
no cold it froze my breath on the hood
of my parka. But always we found
some gold—never a fortune, just
enough to continue along comforta
bly. But, of course,” she continued
demurely, “my greatest treasure from
the northland is my husband.”
Mr. Kuhn is a young man of medi
um height, with a well-knit frame.
Formerly his home was in Browns
ville, Texas. He appears perfectly
capable of overcoming any obstacles
that may beset his path.

Patriotism and Thrift
Patriotism ami thrift are inseparable. This is
as true as that the good citizen is the patriotic
citizen. At the outset of the present war there
were ob< savings accounts to every 1.00U ot population in Uermany, 379 out ot 1,000 in France, 342 out of 1,000 in the United Kingdom, but only 218
out of 1,000 in the United States. In other words, there were nearly twice as many savers, in a given number, among the people of these European
powers, as there were in the United States! No wonder they have been able to astonish the United States by the way they have financed the more
than forty billion dollars already invested in the war. THEY WERE BETTER SAVERS THAN WE. We can well learn from their example and
add more generally the splendid quality of thrift to our own undoubted spirit of patriotism. It is the privilege of this bank through its
facilities to be of practical assistance to all who are practicing thrift.
