- Preiidio. Tex., Nov. 16. Presidio
remained under arms again last night,
prepared for any emergency which
might arise from the presence of 1,600
or more Villa troops in Ojinaga, Mex.,
opposite here. Colonel George T.
' Langhorne, .commander of the Big
Bend district, and Captain Theodore
" Barnes jr., in command of this sector,
,-ere again on duty all night directing
their patrols and receiving and dis
patching messages to outposts and lis
tening posts by field telephones and
buzzers, while regular reports were
made from all fords and roads near
here.
Wednesday night's precautionary
measures were repeated last night, but
there was less stress noticeable in an
ticipation of a possible attack upon
the American town. A report was
received during the night that a large
body of troops was seen going up the
Rio Grande in the direction of Juarez.
These were believed to be Villa cav
alry taking horses to the delta of the
Lonchos river, west ot the American
town.
No Alarm Sounded,
No alarms were sounded during the
night and no trouble was expected
from the Mexican side.
Two Americans crossed the Rio
Grande river from Ojinaga, Mex., at
2 o clock this morning. When stopped
by a deputysheriff they covered him
with a revolver and disappeared. They
are believed to have been the two
American deserters who served the
federal machine guns during the fight-4
mg tor the possession of Ojinaga, and
who were reported to have been
killed.
A scouting party was sent out early
today to locate them. It was be
lieved here they had been in hiding
near Ojinaga since the surrender of
the federal forces there.
Guard All Night.
. A strong guard was on duty here
all night, but nothing was reported
from fords or trails. A Mexican res
ident of Presidio reported last night
- he had seen five men digging graves
on the Mexican side of the river, pre
sumably to bury those who fell in the
battle. This burial party, the Mex
ican said, he saw find a Mexican fed
eral soldier hiding behind some mes
quite bushes, drag him to the open,
shoot him and Mhrow his body unto
one of the open graves on top of
bodies already in it.
', Brings Silver Bart.
Half a million dollars' (gold) worth
of silver bars which Villa was be
lieved to have in his possession has
now been brought into Ojinaga and
efforts are being made to bring it into
the United States. All the Villa offi
cers here- have , plenty of money,
mostly crisp new American currency
tnd Mexican gold pieces. These ofh-
cers are anxious to buy pistol car
tridges,' and those needing new
clothes, linen arid other, personal art!
cles are offering American money in
payment. V
This port remains closed to Villa
and no one is permitted to pass to
ujmaga; only 4 wounded have been
permitted to enter the United States,
except refugees from Ojinaga. Eight
wounded soldiers are reported to
have died last night in hospitals in

Bee's Accdunt of Eagle Flight
Over Fort Omaha Is Good Omen
"When that account in The Omaha
Bee of the eagle's flight over Fort
Omaha was read to me, I knew that
the omen of Victory for the United
States had presented itself," said Mrs.
Zilpha Albee, 90 years of age, and
mother of former Court Sergeant. A!
N. Glover, 3306 Fowler avenue.
She then launched into an interest
ing account of the origin of the
American eagle, whose facsimile is
upon the face of our money. "Tjhis
now famous eagle was captured by
the children of Manitowoc, Wis., my
home town. When the war broke out,
the boys decided to take the bird with
them as a mascot. And it surely
proved to be. In every battle it
soared high over the heads of our
boys, screaming challenges as if to
say, 'Give it to them, boys!' It dis
couraged the rebs so that they were
often heard to remark that they would
rather kill that eagle than the best
general in our army. But their guns
couldn't shoot that high, and when
the war was ended the eagle, now a
national figure, returned with what
was left of our gallant regiment, the
21st Wisconsin volunteers The bird
was then sent to a museum in Milwau
kee, where for a number of years
he was the center of admiring throngs.
He died at a ripe old age, and na
tional homage was paid him. Is it
any wonder then that I tejoice when
I heard of the eagle's flight? It spells
the doom of kaiserism."
And the old lady resumed her knit
ting with a happy smile on her with
ered face.
Broadway in Eclipse as Gotham -,
Saves Coal for War Purposes
(Bf, Associated FreM.)
New York, Nov. 16. War's necessities dimmed Broadway's bright
lights tonight. For nearly three hours after dusk that famous thorough
fare was in semi-eclipse because of the federal fuel administrator's de
cree that the coal which has supplied current for huge electric signs can
be used to better advantage. To the home-going throngs the gloom was
in marked .contrast tp the usual glare.
Promptly at 7:45 p. m, however, the millions of electric bulbs of the
"great white way" flashed into life and were greeted with cheers by the
crowds. ' I ,
The big signs blazed until 11 o'clock and then snuffed out just as
the theater throngs were pouring into she streets. Their electric tenure
of life was done for the night, by official order.
LIGHTS AS USUAL IN OMAHA.
. All electrical signs burned as usual in Omaha last night, there being
no diminution of the bright glare on the downtown streets after 11 o'clock.

today Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of
the admiralty, said:
"The good return of tonnaire sink.
ing by enemy submarines last week

ought not to be taken as indicating
that the submarine menace is a thing
of the past or defeated."

LABOR POLICY IS
LIKE SUBMARINES
President of National Found
ers' Association Declares
Union Labor Attacks In
dustries Under Surface.
Buffalo, tf. Y., Nov. 16. The ad
dress of William H. Barr, president
of the National Founders' association,
in which he criticised the govern
ment's policy in dealing with labor's
problems, was freely discussed by the
delegates attending the 37th annual
convention of the American Federa
tion of Labor here today and a reply
was looked for from the floor of the
convention.
The eight-hour day, Mr,. Barr de
clared in his speech delivered in New
York, is an economic waste and a
grave menace in time of war. He de
nounced particularly the agreement
between the secretaries of war and
navy that any manufacturer accept
ing certain war contracts should be
governed by union hours, wages. 'and
conditions at the time nominally in
existence in his locality.
Mr. Barr declared union labor was
pursuing policy which, like the sub
marines, was attacking American, in
dustries beneath the surface and added
that "our government, afer only six
months of hostilities, is sanctifying an
industrial status of disastrous social
ism similar to that from which Eng
land emerged only with a supreme ef
fort after two years."
A resolution introduced by Vice
President James A. Duncan of the
American Federation of Labor and
now before the resolutions committee
covers the plan of making an emer
gency labor supply commission, which
Mr. Barr condemns.
