From Hunger and Fatigue.
Huerta prepares to use his “ex
traordinary” military authority,
approved by his Congress, for one
year, and announces that he will
die before he will give in.
MARFA TEXAS, Dec. 4.-A trail
of death marks the path of thousands
of Mexican fugitives, Federal soldiers
and civilians alike who are fleeing
from the vicinity of Chihuahua City
to the United States border. It is
feared there are Americans among
the refugees
The bodies of dead and dying, who
dropped from hunger and fatigue
upon the desert, are monuments to
the suffering of the fleeing, panic-
stricken fugitives.
Forty miles of the way lies acroee
a barren desert across which no wa
ter flows, and the only -vegetation Is
an occasional cluster of thorny cac
tus.
Most of the fugitives are on foot,
and were unable to supply themselves
with food and water when they
reached the edge of the desert. Only
a few are fortunte enough to have
pack mules or burros to carry their
few belongings.
Among the fugitives is said to be

who owns vast ranches and gold

In practically one night. Atlanta is

all the telephone lines In that part of

Referring again to the currency

he believed it would be further im

Mr. Maddox said also:
"I was very much gratified to find
In Washington, among the leaders of
the Senate, the well defined opinion
that It would not be wise at present
to push further any radical legisla
tion.
"They seemed to realize that there
was a business recession all over this
country as well as abroad, and that
the United States in their digestion
of the tariff bill and the new curren

“One of the most prominent mem

Wilson had the same ideas.”

MEXICO CITY, Dec 4.—The gov

to publish no details as to military
movements unless such information as
they used came from an official
source. As the only "official” news
given out consists of reports of Fed

the public is not to be informed of any
government defeats.

of the government were notified that

were the powers which he seised when
he dissolved the session of Congress
