Anti-American Campaign in Latin-
America by “Interests” Seen
by State Officials.
WASHINGTON’, TV. 4 - State !>**-
pnrtment officials believe that an
anti-American campaign Is being
conducted by great commercial In
terests of the I’nlted States. This
opinion watt expressed to-day as the
result of a note which the Uolom
bian Government is reported to have
sent to the Mexican Con Kress urging
it to stand Arm and protesting against
interference by the United State:
In Latin-American affturn.
While the motive for the alleged
r.ote may have been the revolution
which resulted in the creation *»f the
republic of Vanama and the conse
quent acquisition by the United State,
of the 1‘anama Canal site, less than
a fortnight ago Colombia, under
pressure, canceled certain rich oil
concessions which Lord Cowdray had
obtained and forced the withdrawal
of the Pearson interests from that
country.
Officials of the State Department
think that President Wilson’s Mobile
speech inspired the cancellation of
the Colombian contracts, hut ex
pressed surprise that a note <»f such
character should have been sent to
the Huerta Government In Mexico
City at a time when Colombia Is
pressing: claims against the United
States in connection with the Colom
bian revolution.

Cruel Death Trail.
MARFA. TEXAS. Dee 1 A trad
«»r death rm.rks the path of thousand*
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 mil- s of the way lies across
i barren desert across which no wa-
ter flows, and the only vegetation is
an occasional cluster of tnorny 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
i few are fortunte enough to have
pack mules or burros to carry their
few belongings.
Among the fugitives Is said to be
General Luis Terrazas, a millionaire,
who owns vast ranches and gold
mines In northern Mexico. But his
wealth failed to avail him in the dess
ert., although it provided him with a
horse to ride.
There arc at least 3.000 Federal
troop* among the stragglers, all ol
w hom may cross the Rio Grande and
surrender to the United States au
thorities rather than face annihila
tion it the hands of the Constitution
alists. There are aiso a number of
foreigners among the fleeing band.

Military Guards Flee
From Chihuahua.
EL PASO, TEXAS. Doc. 4. Two
hundred Federal soldiers left in Chi
huahua City by General Mercado,
military governor of the state of Chi
huahua. to police the city until the
Constitutionalists take possession of
it. deserted to-day and arc in full
flight toward the United States bor
der.
The flight of the military police
leaves Chihuahua City, a community
of 35.000. without protection from
bandits or other marauders.
This information was received at
Juarez iu a dispatch from the south
and may hasten the complete occu
pation of Chihuahua City by General
Villa's army.
The United States military authori
ties have decided to give protection
to an> Federal generals who wish to
surrender to save their lives.
The Federal Government feared that
General Villa would Imprison and
execute them upon his arrival, despite
Villa’s assurances that the military
police would have protection.
Reports that Generals Mercado,
Orozco. Salazar and other Federal
leaders, who were defeated by General
Villa, are fleeing toward the Rio
Grande led Brigadier General Tasker
H. Bliss, i S. A., to order a detach
ment of Uie Fifteenth Cavalry to be
in readiness to dash to any point the
Federals max reach.
General Villa, who left Juarez late
yesterday with the rear guard of his
rebel army, snent tile night at Samn-
lyuca, 32 miles south. He sent word
to General Vlds. commandant of the
Juarez garrison, that the troop trains
which left Juarez yesterday morning
had reached Ahumada, 75 miles south,
without encountering any Federals.
Robbers Blow Safe

WAYNESBORO, Dec. 4.—Yeggmen
entered the postofflee at Greenscut,
six miles from here, last night and
| secured about $15 belonging to the
postmaster, a storekeeper, but did not
get any postoffice money. From there
they went to the store of L. P. Col

$150.
It is believed that the police in Au

found upon prisoners arrested there
to-day connect them with th&Greens

Special Pulpit Talks Planned for
Opening of Great Convention
Here December 28.
A movement to in lut e every minis
ter in Atlanta to preach a sermon on
the relation of science to n liglon, on
Sunday, December 28, wnen the slxty-
lifth annual convention of the Ameri
can Association for the Advancement
of Science opens 'n Atlanta, has been
Inaugurated by the ltx al general com
mittee, working w ith the Atlanta Con
vention Bureau
The idea was broached at a meet
ing of trie committee late Tuesday aft
ernoon, and Burton Smith, one of the
members, was named to handle the
details of the movement. Mr. Smith
said Thursday morning that he has
sent letters to the heads of the varous
religious denominations in Atlanta,
urging them to co-operate and make
their sermon of the 2Kth a discourse
on "Science and Religion."
It is proposed to have the sermons
in every church in Atlanta, in order
that the delegates may attend a
church of their own denomination ar.d
yet hear a sermon on a theme similar
to that in other <hurc*he
Pastors Likely to Comply.
Mr. Smith said he had conferred
with a number of prominent minis
ters. and anticipates no difficulty in
enlisting their aid in the movement.
“1 do not think there is a minister
in Atlanta,” said Mr. Smith, "who will
refuse to open his church to the sci
entists on that Sunday, or who will
refuse to preach a sermon on science
and religion. There could be no in
jury done to religion by such a ser
mon, because religion and science are
true. When a scientist departs from
religion he departs from truth and
ceases to be a scientist.”
The convention will be in session,
with headquarters at the Piedmont
Hotel, from December 29 to January
3, and promises to be one of the larg
est gatherings to be held in Atlanta
during tlie year. Four thousand mem
bers of the association, which include*
many organizations, will be here.
There will be eleven branch organi
zations of the main association in ses
sion, and special buildings are being
obtained for their meetings.
Noted Men to Attend.
Some of the most noted scientists
of the United States will be here, in
cluding such men as Philander P.
(Taxton, of Washington, National
Commissioner of Education; Alfred
I*. Cole, of the Ohio State University;
Alfred G. Mayer, of the Washington
Carnegie Institution; Walter B. Pills-
bury, of th** University of Michigan;
Forest R. Moulton, of the. University
of Chicago; George G. MCCurdy, of
Yale University; John R. Marlin, of
the Cornell Medical School; L. O.
Howard, of the Smithsonian Institu
tion, and Theodore Hough, of the Uni
versity of Virginia.
Elaborate preparations are being
made for the entertainment of the sci
entists. Four committees have been
named—executive, finance, honorary
reception and the ladies’ reception
committee. Mrs. John K. (Utley is
chairman of the latter committee, and
its membership Includes Mrs. John M.
Slaton Mrs. Warren Boyd, Mrs. Wil-
mer L. Moore, Mrs. Charles J. Haden
and many other prominent Atlanta
women.
