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. Huerta Calls Defeats A Part of His Plan. SOUP TO NUTS!

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.

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.
