American Officers Leading Men
Into Mexico Likely Will Be
Put on Trial.
TWO SOLDIERS ARE RELEASED
WASHINGTON, Jn. 2. There
was no Indication tonight that the
United States government would con
sider any action necessary in the ruse
of the two American soldiers cap
tured yesterday near Brownsville,
Tex., and returned unharmed to their
commands today, other than to in
vestigate, the Incident and probably
court-martial Lieutenants Ileytan,
Mort and Waldron, the officers who
led the detachment of soldiers into
Mexican territory to rescua their
captured comrades.
Secretary Garrison said positive orders
had bean riven every officer In the army
not to cross the boundary under any
provocation without specific Instructions
from Washington.
Should the Investigation ordered by
Major General Funston prove that the
officers violated this order It was said
they undoubtedly would be court-martialed
and probably held responsible for
the death of the four soldiers, members
of the rescue party, who were drowned
In the TUo Grande while returning- from
their expedition.
Tha prompt action taken by Cartansa
military authorities In returning the two
soldiers wss regarded by Stats depart
ment officials as Indicative of their de
sire to prove their Innocence and to dis
play their good will towards this country.
Officials generally appeared relieved by
the developments, particular satisfaction
ting expressed at the report from Consul
Johnson at Matamoros that the Carranta
military authorities appeared satisfied the
act was committed 'through Ignorance."

The cries of women snd little children
for clothing and fool la the feature of
this winter's relief work In Omaha that
Is focusing the attention of the organisa
tions thst csre for the poor. Hitherto
the demand coming from mn has been
the greeteat.
"This winter we have had a moat ex
traordinary call from womin and chil
dren and there baa been a falling; off In
the number of men seeking relief," ssld
Mrs. MeCormlck of the Volunteers of
America. "I think this Is largely due to
the new plan of making the men work
for their board when they get Into the
hands of the police or county Jail. The
claaa of gentry who aim to get free
lodging and board m the Jail during the
cold weather Is steering clear of Omaha.
It's a dengerous place for lasy fellows

"On the other hand, women snd chil

Mrs. MlcCormlck emphasises the great
need of warm clothing of all kinds.

Flames to Save
Young Children
Mrs. Lillian Edwards, H South Right
eenth street, last night braved the flames
caused by an explosion of a kerosene
lamp In order to save her four young
children from being burned.
After she had thrown the biasing lsmp
out of doors and had extinguished the
fire she found her arms painfully burned
and her clothing scorched.
The lamp was on a table In the dining
room when It exploded, soon after the
evening meal had been eaten by the
family. Biasing oil was thrown on ths
Carpet ' and flames sprang up In the
midst of the little circle of children
"I didn't hink I had the nerve to do
It," said Mrs. Edwards, "but I knew
hsd to In order to save the .children
from burning to death. So I just rsn In

doors. Then I put out the fire"

"It Is not always easy for us to keep
fresh our spreclatlon Of the common
place in life, and yet we need to re
tain this sense of everyday life, which
Is essential In gaining the great values.
We are Introduced to these values by
others who have appreciated them, and,
while having our minds open to receive
this testimony of others, we must at the
same time, be able to share the expe
riences of others," said President King.
He placed stress upon conviction, char
acter. Judgment and power to make one's
testimony vital, real and rational. If the
values of life would be felt in full meas
ure. Indifference must not be mistaken
for tolerance. The dangera of sophisti

It is the duty of tesehers to point
out these vslues, and the efficient teacher
muat be a competent witness. The wit-
noes of life and of Hps does the greatest
services to mankind, and the witness
should be wary of sham and pretense,"
he said. "The business of a teacher Is
not merely to hsod out a lot of tradl-
tlona, but to feel the truth of what la
taught and said."
He emphasised the Importance of hav
ing deep convictions, sound judgment
snd uptight character, following which
the true values of life will be the 1
