Zapata Sends Courier to Blanquet
From Suburbs, but Order
Will Be Ignored.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
MEXICO CITY, Dec. 18.—General
Emiliano Zapata, leader of the rebel
band* that for several weeks tyive
been pressing close to the capital, to
day demanded the surrender of Mexi
co City. His message was brought
Into the city by a courier under cover
of darkness and taken directly to the
home of General Hlanquet, Minister
of War.
Without waiting for a reply the
courier hastened na/k to Zapata’s
headquarters near AJusoo Mountain
The demand will be ignored by the
Government
Officials of the War Department ad
mitted to-day that the supply of am
munition in the possession of the
Government is very small. This may
hasten the downfall of General
Huerta, as the Zapatista rebels are
firmly Intrenched at several points in
the Federal district, and by their
guerilla tactics will attempt to wear
down the capital's garrison.
Vast quantities of ammunition have
been wasted by drunken soldiers sent
out to fl^ht the Zapatistas, but the
rebels have carefully husbanded their
supply. They advance day by day
closer to the capital, and messengers
have brought w’ord that traitors
among- the garrison soldiers w^re
selling ammuniation to the revolu
tionists.
In an attempt to win the support of
his bitterest enemies. General Vluerta
will releA.se on Christmas Pay many of
the Deputies who were imprisoned when
he dissolved Congress This is believed
to be due to represen tat Iona made by
the American Government tliat Justice
be done the prisoners.
Constitutionalists renewed their at
tack on Mazatlan to-day and 60 Fed-
crals were killed early In the fighting,
according to a report received by the
War Department News of Mazat-
lan's fall is expected at any moment. ,

Plot New Revolt.
HI. PASO, TEXAS, Dec. 18—-The
r r«»: t here t -day of a dozen men
revealed the fact that a new Mexican
r volt is being fomented, with the
purpose of landing Emilio Vasquez
Gomez in the presidency. Dr. Gomez
was a candidate for President in the
r -cent Mexican election, opposing
General Huerta on the anti-election
lb ! et. but was compelled to tlee the
< ountry several weeks before the
elceUon took place.
The new uprising has the support
of General Felix Diaz. Ex-Governor
Gayou. of the state of Coahuila, ar
rived here last night from Havana,
where he was in conference with
General Diaz.
According to documentary evidence
which was seized, together with a
large quantity of arms and ammuni
tion, representations have been made
to General Uascual Orozco. General
Ynez Salazar and other Federal com
manders at OJinaga to join the re
volt against Huerta.
Dr. Gomez is believed to be In El
Faso living quietly In same obscure
house, letters seized by the Federal
authorities indicated that the Gomez
insurgents planned to strike the first
blow about Christmas following the
entry of Gomez into Mexico at Ea
Palomas.
A committee consisting of General
Enrique Gomez, General Felipe Ca-
cerea and Major Sylvestro Quevedo
was appointed by the local Junta of
Gomez rebels to go to OJinaga and
lay an alluring proposition before the
Mexican Federal commanders The
office of commander in chief of the
northern forces was offered Orozco
and bounties were offered the sol
diers
The junta has a number of circulars
printed giving the platform of th«
Vasqulsta-Diaz insurgents and an
nouncing that General Emiliano Za
pata has embraced the cause The
platform calls for seizure of all lands
owned by the rich and equal dis
tribution of wealth among the poor.

The coming of a virtually "love
less” age, when the doctrine of eugen
ics will be In general application and
when marriage contracts will be
based more on the laws of health
than on sentiment, was predict.**1
Thursday morning by Dr. A. J. Oseh-
ner, of Chicago, one of America s
most noted surgeons, who is in At
lanta attending the convention of the
Southern Surgical and Gynecological
Association at the Georgian Terra. .
"Mankind is unmistakably drifting
toward an era when health will play
a most important part in marriage,
said Dr. osehner, "and It is not im
probable that there will come a time
when sentiment will be a minor fac
tor in the formation of marriage con
tracts. The doctrine of eugenics is
rapidly coming into greater favor a’l
over the world, and the trend of mod
ern thought is certainly toward its
genera! application.”
"Is it not possible that there will
come a time when love will he elimi
nated altogether as a reason for mar
riage?" Dr. Osehner was asked.
"That is something I can not an
swer,” he smiled "because I do n.)?
know. It would seem only logical,
lowever, that such would be the ul
timate result of the doctrine, in view
of the strides it is making.
Eugenics,” Dr. osehner continued,
"is but an outgrowth of the health
awakening which is general through
out the world. It is a recognition of
the fundamental principle that in
ounce of prevention s worth a pound
of cure, and an admission of the truth
that the health of a child is deter
mined largely by the health of its
parents.”
Dr. Osehner declared that the
"loveless” age will be accompanied
by the "operation-less" age, the ar-
riva’ of this latter era hein 0 * whoilv
contingent upon the progress of man
kind in acquiring its education, in
becoming thoroughly acquainted with
the fundamental laws of healtn and
Pi applying thtsf laws to i'j dailv
life.
"Surgtcal operations for the cure
of disease will decrease In the ratio
that the knowledge of mankind in
creases." said Dr Drchner. "The
more knowledge mankind has of how
to prevent disease the less disease
there will he. and consequently *he
less need there will he for the use of
the knife. It is but logical to suppose
that man will continue to enlarge Ms
knowledge of the fundamental laws
of health as he progresses in civiliza
tion. and It ik probable that there
mav come an age when a surgical op
eration will he rare, as there will he
few diseases that will require the
kni f e
Operations for Disease Decrease.
"This decline of surgical operations
does not, of course, include those that
—
are the natural and necessary con
sequences of accidents or wounds.
There are some surgical operations
that will always be necessary as lon j
as there are accidents, and as long
as men shoot and stab each other.
But the number of surgical opera
tions for disease is certainly decreas
ing. and this decrease certainly mint
continue in at least .the same ratio
as man progresses.”

“ Slippers Make
5 Ideal Gifts
Here’s something about Empty
Stockings, and It wasn’t written by
the Christmas Editor, either. The C.
E. wishes he knew who did write it.
because he owes the writer a debt of
thanks and so does the entire work
ing staff of the big Anti-Empty
Stocking Army In Atlanta.
Tills is the good word:
"The memory of the keen disap
pointment of my little sister and my
self when we found our stockings
empty for the first time, in 1864— a
long time ago is keen enough after
all these years to give your appeal or.
behalf of the poor children of Atlanta
a special significance to me.
■'Our father was In the Army oT
Norther i Virginia that Christmas. We
were on a plantation In Southern
Georgia, and all communication had
been cut off
It Was a Tragedv.
"Mother told us It would be useless
for us to hang up our stockings that
Christmas Eve. Santa Claus can’*
come this year,’ she sold; and I can
lemember the queer tug at my hear*
when she said it
"Put our childish faith in the mirac
ulous power of the old saint was such
that we insisted on hanging up our
stockings as usual.
"I have never forgotten how we
felt when we strained our eves to see
the contents of those stockings in the
dim dawn of that long-ago«!jLJhrlstmas
Day and found nothing! v<»u call it
a tragedy, and you are right.
"I hope the inclosed contribution
will help to keep some little one frqm
a similar experience ami 1 wish that
I could tell everyone of that exp<
rlence of my sister and myself, for it
might heip to recall sitnila- memories
of those sad times "E T. P.”
Christmas Ever the S*me.
No use commenting on that letter.
Is there? Its appeal is direct and to
the heart, ami with it comes the ca
ressing hint of lavender and old lace,
and a dim and haunting fragrance of
the past.
Christmas was then what Christ
mas is now. And always the children
are the same Times change, and cus
toms other customs. Put Christmas
and childhood are with us always. A
very good hook says the poor are, too
Maybe this is a good chance to take
care of the whole outfit at once.
Anyway, the Christmas Editor i«*
getting .i lot of help from people like
the writer of that letter, and then
there are a whole lot of various en-
•erfalnments to keep things moving
