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.

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.

Co. - ! ^ v 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.” Denver Wants G. 0. P.

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.
