"Will reach river tonight. Have

Yancey is commander of Ruidosa

Lieut. Harold G. Peterson of Hut

"Hot Trails" Are Lost.
The decision to withdraw the
troops resulted from failure to pick
tip ,fhot trails" today because of
rain storms in the mountains.
After a conference last night be-
tweenofficers of the expeditionary
' force, Maj. J. P. , Yancey, com
mander of the expedition, informed
Colonel Langhorne that he thought
T the expedition had a chance to find
the trails today. Colonel Langhorne
thereupon ordered him to proceed

failed to pick. up the trail, Colopel
Linghorne ordered Yancey to come
'out at the expiration of a 24-hour
limit, ending tonight. After he failed
. to find the trails in today's storm,
Major Yancey started tb march out.

El Paso, Tex.,. Aug. 24. The
United States military expedition,
which, was ordered today to with
draw from Mexico, after pursuing
Mexican bandits since last Tuesday,
penetrated farther into Mexican ter
ritory, than any since the punitive
expedition which was sent across the
border under Gen. John J. Pershing
on "March IS, 1916, in pursuit of
Francisco Villa's bandit band.
' That expedition, which followed
the Villa raid on Columbus, N. M.,
in which 17 persons were killed, was
' composed of 4,000 men, who
marched more than 200 miles into
the territory of the southern repub
lic. Several clashes between United
States troops and Villa followers re
sulted. With the Villa bands dis
- peTsed,-? the expedition withdrew
February S. 1917.
v. On several other occasions in the
past' two years small detachments
troops have been sent across the
30rder in pursuit of marauding
bands. , On August 27, 1918, Ameri
can and Mexican troops fought two
hours at Nogales, Ariz., following a
e ash between customhouse guards.
An American officer and. one Ameri
can soldier were killed and 28 others
wounded. The Mexican losses were
1 19 ' killed. During . the ' attack of
Villa forces on Juarez, Brig. Get
James B. Erwin on June 13, last,
ordered 3,600 United States troops
to cross from El Paso, Tex., to pre
vent firing from the Mexican side
into El Paso. The order was issued
after several persons, including

bullets. After short engagement
in which the Villa -troops were
driven from the vicinity of Juarez,
the American troops were with
drawn June 16. .
Referring to Lieutenant Peter
son's statement that he had been
informed a man killed by American
aviators was Renteria, Colonel
Langhorne said: "While I do not
believe the report Lieutenant Peter
son brought tonight, I do think they
got one of Renteria's men during
the pursuit when the aviators killed
one of three bandits."
No Official Word.
Washington, Aug. 24. Withdrawal
of the American punitive expedition
from Mexico was ordered by Major
General Dickman, commander of the
southern department, it was indi
cated tonight by Secretary Baker.
There has been a belief in official
circles at the War department
throughout all of the day that the
withdrawal was imminent but Secre
tary Baker said tonight he was
without official information as to
the return across the border. ,
The orders received by General
Dickman from the department, it is
known, were so explicit that instruc
tions from Washington were not
needed to order the withdrawal.
The border commander was to
organize a force capable of being
moved swiftly to the scene of the
detention of Lieutenants Davis and
Peterson, the two army aviators
held for ransom by bandits; to cap
ture or destroy the band and to
"clean up" thoroughly the section
in which this and other isolated
groups of bandits have been operat
ing. It was presumed by officials
that General Dickmon either con
sidered these instructions to have
been carried out or that the expe
dition was unable to pick up fur
ther "hoi trails." -
The decision to withdraw the ex
pedition, it was said officially, was
wholly a military one and was en
tirely outside of diplomatic ques
tions raised through filing of a pro
test at the State department by
Mexican Ambassador Bonillas.
San Diego, Cal., Aug. 24. Four
military airplanes left Rockwell
field today for aerial reconnaissance
of Lower California as far south as
San Felipe, at the head of the Gulf
of California, in search of Lieuts.
Frederick B. Waterhouse and Cecil

since Wednesday afternoon.
The airplanes will have a base at
Yuma, Ariz. No word has been re
ceived at Rockwell field regarding
the fate of the army aviators, who
were last seen Wednesday near Ja
cumba, Cal., while on border patrol
duty.
Army officials believe the story of
C. J. Adams, a mining man em
ployed 40 miles south of Campo, Cal.
that last Wednesday he saw an army

-Royal Divprce Action
Loveliest of Hapsburgs, Princess Otto, Cast Aside by
Husband After Lurid Career in Which Several
Naval Officers Are Said to Have Had High Place
in Seat of Her Affections,
Paris, Aug. 24. The loveliest of
the Hapsburgs, Princess Otto von
Windisch-Graetz selected by the
kaiser four years ago to be queen
of Belgium has been divorced in
common public court at Vienna by
her royal husband in the first dem
ocratic action of the . kind which
has occurred to the Austrian royal
family in its history and the cul
minating tragedy of the Hapsburgs.
Picked by Germany to succeed
the Queen Elisabeth when the Ger
mans invaded Belgium, the Princess
von Windisch-Graetz, when the
Hapsburg monarchy first showed
signs of toppling, yielded herself to
a wild career of carefree love, and
finally her husband has been forced
to disown her. Her downfall was
the last of the series of amazing
tragedies of the Hapsburgs the ill
fated proud royal family of Austria
which has finally lost its last strug
gle for existence in the ruin of the
Austrian empire.
Like her mother, the widow of
the Crown Prince Rudolph the
Archduchess Stephanie, who a few
years ago married a simple Hun
garian, the Baron Lonvay--and like
her aunt, the Princess Louise de Co
burg, who brought scandal to the
courts of Europe for her daring
love adventures and uncontrollable
flights of fancy, the Archduchess
Elizabeth Marie loved and married
outside her circle.
Members of reigning houses, hav
ing in mind the temperament of
the Crown Princess Louise of Sax
ony, also an Austrian archduchess,
who finally ran away with her
teacher, looked with misgiving upon
the love affair of the Archduchess
Elizabeth Marie.
Bridegroom Silent
But the old emporer, who was very
pnd of her, decreed, after her pas
sionate attachment to the young
Windisch-Graetz had become known
to all, that she marry this prince of
her choice, then a first lieutenant
in the Austrian army.
Young Windisch-Graetz was very
young, very blond and very ordi
nary. He was poor, as princes go,
not quite stupid, and he had noth
ing to say in the matter of his mar
riasre. It was enough that the
young archduchess loved the blond
youth.
But the passion ot tne young
Circe was as short-lived as it was
tempestuous.
Windisch-Graetz was forced to
give up his military career after
his marriage, and devote himself
entirely to the service of the cap
ricious princess. It was noticed that
while the young princess became
more and more gay and effervescent,
her young husband wore a deeper
and deeper air of depression.
Now, after the breaking down
of Austria and the disappearence
of the dynasty, and the consequent
sweeping away of all the old con
ventions, a divorce action against
the; princess reveals unexpected
secret chapters in the life of this
fascinating Circe of Europe's once
proudest nouse. .

Princes' Frailties Revealed.
The revelations of the trial sur
pass anything that has ever been
revealed in open court of the frail
ties of princesses.
Testimony developed that the
princess had a special weakness for
sailors, devoting much of her time
throughout the war toward their
entertainment and in their society.
One scene described at length by
the prince in his complaint had the
princess at a wild party at a bar
in the naval city of Pola, where she
was the only woman in a gathering
of young naval lieutenants, and
where, the testimony ran, proceed
ings were of the most vivacious
A young U-boat commander,
Lieut. Egon Lerch, became the par
ticular object of the attentions of
the princess, and. as Circe kept
Odysseus in her enchanted hand,, so
this princess kept the U-boat com
mander enthralled upon her beauti
ful estate, the Villa Otto, Jn Brioni,
a lovely islet washed by the blue
Adriatic. The only difference in this
comparison is that the princess, un
like Circe, had no other compan
ions. She spent many months on this
estate, an abode of dolce far niente.
Elizabeth Marie was also seen with
her young cavalier at Fiume and
Budapest. At Budapest the grand
daughter of Francis Joseph lived in
the midst of war and revolution with
the young and handsome sailor in
one of the most fashionable hotels.
she became, so testimony ran, ut
terly regardless of appearances.
Son's Prayer Causes Suit.
After the lieutenant had found a
tragic end in his U-boat somewhere
in the Mediterranean Sea, she found
consolation with another naval of
ficer who happened to be the cousin
of her husband, Alfred Windisch-
Graetz.
Though war burned with its dread
fury all around them, these two, in
a paradise apart, lived an idyllic life
in the heart of famishing, grief
stricken Vienna. There were late gay
suppers ana prolonged parties at the
apartments of the princess. And the
war went on unheeded by the princess.
The husband of the princess was
finally exasperated by happening to
overhear his second son, Ernest, pray
tor nis mpther g jost sweetheart,
Lieutenant Commander Lerch. This.
more than all else, decided the prince
to bring action tor divorce.
A year ago such action on his part
would have been impossible, no
matter what- the provocation. Then
matrimonial troubles of members of
the imperial family were handled
with all secrecy and discretion by
the imperial and royal court mar
shal.
Times have changed and the new
order has even sought out old Vienna.
There is no more Austrian imperial
family, no court marshal's office, and
there are no more .royal privileges.
This wayward, lovely, tempestuous
archduchess has exprienccd to the
startling full the new regime in her
answer before the common bar of
justice.
This Woodpecker
Laid Seventy-One
Eggs, Says Dr. Towne
Dr. S. R. Towne, president of the
Audubon society, has been a student
of bird life in the native forests in
and near Omaha for many years.
He often visits Forest Lawn ceme
tery and states that he has found
there all but the large variety of the
woodpecker family. He tells this
interesting story about this bird:
"The flicker, drab heacfand bronze
body, the latter spattered with black
or white dots, a large white patch
showing on the rump as he flies, is
over a foot in length. The male
has a patch of red on the crown, as
most woodpeckers do. Here the
quills or shafts of the feathers are
yellow, giving a flash of color as he
may spread himself in coming to a
sudden stop. West and north are
habitats of the red-shafted flicker.
He is all life, and his "Toot-toot,"
rapidly given when announcing
serins time can be heard a mile or
more. Later his "Flicker 1" "Fllicker!"
'Flllickerl" as he is paying atten
tion to Mrs. Flicker, is very polite
and persuasive. He makes the chips
fly as work on . the nest is being
done. And she, may lay 10 eggs for
her litter. An instance is reported
of 71 being laid when an egg was
removed each day. une ot the
larger woodoeckers Audubon saw
was the pileated (17 in.) along the
Missouri river in lot), xnis and
the ivory-billed red-head came west
with civilization, and are interesting
in work or play."

(Special.) George S. Hocknell,
charged with murder of Mrs.
Bessie Voeth of Detroit, has re
quested that he be tried before a
jury of 12 women, and seems
quite enthused over the prospects
of his wish being granted.
, "Women will have a better un
derstanding of the case and will
be more sympathetic," he said.
"I'm not looking for sympathy,
however, because I am innocent"
. Mrs. Hocknell, wife of the pris
oner, has not stated, whether she
wants a jury of women to try
her husband or not, although she
is busy helping on plans of de
fense. The panel . of jurors will be
drawn tomorrow.
BAKER OPPOSES
NEW. SYSTEM IN
COURTS-MARTIAL
Appjoyes Report on Old Sys
tem Submitted to Him by
Maj. Gen. Kernan.
Washington, Aug. 24. Approving
the report submitted to him by
Major Gen. Francis J. Kernan,
head of the special War department
board on courts-martial and their
procedure, Secretary Baker i today
took the official stand that the
present system should not be
changed except in minor details.
Inferentially, the secretary upheld
General Kernan's view that "courts
martials have always been agencies
for creating and maintaining the
discipline of armies," rather than
agencies for the "nice exemplifica
tion' of technical rules of law."
The War department board's re
port reflected the opvilon of 225 ef
ficees who were circularized. More
than half of these gave hearty ap
proval to the present system, 43
condemned it as basically wrong
and the remainder, a total of 67,
pointed out specific weaknesses
which they thought should be re
medied. Lack of Good Counsel.
The most serious defect in . the
existing system, the report asserts,
are trom the lack of competent
trial judge advocates and counsel"
and as a remedy it is recommended
that defense counsel be appointed
for each general and special court
martial, and that special induce
ments be offered young officers to
study law in order that they may
be fitted for these and other spe
cial duties.
"It is noticeable," the report said,
"that officers who served with fight
ing units are, as a class, favorable
to the present articles; on the other
hand, officers whose duties kept
them remote from the scenes of
battle view the system with a more
critical eye."
Declaring that the "sovereign
remedy" proposed by the most pro
nounced critics is to transfer admin
istration to those who are lawyers
first and soldiers by courtesy only,
General Kernan expressed the opin
ion that this would make it impos
sible for the commander to obtain
among his troops the necessary dis
cipline to military success which is
the "first purpose of an army."
The report criticises the pending
Chamberlain bill, which would take
from the president and the War de
partment neads the power to review
court-martial findings and place ap
peal "in civilian hands, pure and
simple, that is, the court of military
appeals, or in the quasi civilian legal
hands of the judge advocates pro
vided for general and special court
martial." Under such a system, the
report holds, "the power to disci
pline effectively, which is separatelly
bound up with .te power of effec
tive command, Would be paralyzed."
Referring to charges that sen
tences imposed upon soldiers for
minor ottenses have been grotes
quely severe," the report takes the
view that although such were the
possible effects of apparently trifl
ing misdeeds in most cases other
fivlors justified the findings. . ;
General Kernan and the other
members of the board express
strong opposition to the Chamber
lain bill s proposal that enlisted men
be appointed to sit on cour's, on
the ground that it is "out of har
mony with the American conception
of democracy and of our confidence
in our institutions.
Official Circles in
Air About Treaty
(Continued from Page One.)
ingly suggested Senators Lodge and
Knox as possible selections to ne
gotiate a new treaty should .the
present one be amended.
That the p-esident might permit
the negotiations to stand in a dead
lock by declining to take up with
pther governments any changes sug
gested by the senate, involves per
haps the most interesting possibili
ties of all.
Should President Wilson adopt
that course and then appeal to the
country, republican senators say the
senate would adopt a resolution de
claring the war at an end and pro
ceed to enact such legislation as
seemed necessary to restore a
complete peace basis. Whether such
a resolution would require the presi
dent's signature is a disputed ques
tion, however, and Mr. Wilson is
known to object strongly to any
such method of ending the war.
Spotlight in Congress.
The peace treaty promises to hold
the spotlight in congress again this
week, with a possibility that before
the week is over the report of the
foreign relations committee 'may
bring the question of ratification
into the open senate.
Although Chairman Lodge de
clines to make any prediction as to
When the committee will report,
democratic members said today they
had an understanding with the re
publicans that action would be taken
this week if possible.
Tomorrow the committee will re
sume for a day its open hearings,
but most of the week' is expected to
be devoted to discussion of amend
ments to the treaty. Debate on the
treaty also is to continue in the sen
ate, Senators Nugent, democrat,
Idaho; Kirb, democrat, Arkansas,
and Owen, Oklahoma, having given
notice they would speak.
Franco-American Treaty.
The Franco-American treaty will
come before the senate judicial com
mittee tomorrow in connection with
consideration of a subcommittee re
port holding the treaty to be no
violation of the United States con
stitution. High cost of living questions will
continue to the fore in both branches
of congress. The senate agricul
ture committee is expected to re
port early in the week an amend
ment to "put teeth" in the Lever
food control act. The committee
has before it the amendment passed
Friday by the house, but has not
decided whether to pass the house
measure on to the senate or to re
port out a new and distinct meas
ure. , The house, having carried out one
of President Wilson's recommenda
tions for reducing living costs, will
consider another this week in the
Hutchinson bill to regulate cold

"Scrappy Jack" is the name that
C. P. Allen, traveling salesman for
H. J. Heintz company, has earned
because of the straight-off-the-
shoulder talk that he uses to cinch
his orders. A forceful personality
and a determination not to let
single prospective order slip away
to another hrm are given as the
cause of his success on the road.
But the private side of Allen's
life is entirely different. His big
gest interest at home, outside of his
family, is his church. For several
years he has been active in the Sun
day school department at the Im-
manuel Baptist church and has
served as superintendent. At pres
ent he is a deacon. He has ideals
that he tries to live up to seven
days a week. His friends say that
he succeeds and his employers state
that he is one of the cleanest sales
men on the road.
Allen began his business career in
a small Missouri town at $J.5U a

of certain facts concerning the or
ganization. ' r". v
"Richard reported, these, things
to the Germans, and he was in
structed to continue to play the role,
and there cannot be little doubt but
that this scoundrel was largely in
strumental in arousing the sus
picions of the' Germans against
Nurse Cavell, In lette-s and reports
Richard made to tiie Germans,
Nurse Cavell's house in Brussels is
mentioned several times. ; ,
"On one occasion- a number of
fugitives were to be--conducted
from the Lille district, and it had
been arranged by the committee
that the men should, at various
inots. meet guides, who -would con
duct them to places of safety. Rich
ard knew the whole plan, betrayed
it to the Germans, and the fugi
tives with Mons. Tacauet, the heroic
schoolmaster of Lille, and three of
his helpers Mons. Martens, Vertru-
iesces and ueconniK were arresxea.
All the heroes were condemned to
death, and two days later were led
out to execution.
"On the day after these noble sons
of France died, Richard was walk
ing about Lille, wearing new
clothes and spending money in
cafes. He made no secret that he
had received payment from the,
Germans."
Pardoned by Kaiser.
' In the towns of Roubaix, Mau

caused the arrest of no less than 85
persons. Many oi tnese victims
were shot, while otners were sen

Not content with drawing a
monthly salary of $25 from the Ger
mans, olus $10 for every person he
denouncedRichard levied blackmail
upon his intended victims and re
sorted to Vobbery. From one man
in Hautmont whom he attempted
to blackmail he stole $200. The man
immediately reported the robbery
to the Germans, with the result that
the spy was arrested and tried. He
was sentenced to six years' impris
onment for the crime in 1916, and
was taken to Germany to serve his
sentence.
While in prison Richard , wrote
an appeal to the kaiser. In this he
protested his admiration for Ger
many and the Germans, told of his
service to the German cause, pro
tested his loyalty 'to Germany, men
tioned the names of many of his
victims whose deaths he had brought
about and finished up with an ap
peal for pardon and permission to
be naturalized as a German.
He was granted a pardon ' and
again entered the service of the
Germans.
One free, he hunted loyal French
citizens relentlessly, redoubling his
efforts for the Germans. He
worked in Belgium, but the Belgians
suspected him of treachery and an
attempt was made upon his life in
Brussels.
He, however, escaped uninjured
and fled from the city, to turn up as
a French policeman in Roubaix,:
where, however, he was too -well
known to be of any great service to
the Germans. After the German re
treat Richard had the audacity to re
turn to Lille, where he was ar
rested. "Remove the Traitor."
Richard was found guilty of all
the charges brought against him and
was ordered to stand up in the
dock. Speaking slowly and with
great deliberation, the president of
the court said to the prisoner: "You
are a traitor, a man without any
spark of feelings of love for your
country or your countrymen. In the
hour of danger, when you thought
that France was crushed, you volun
tarily offered to aid the enemy in
bringing defeat upon your country.
You betrayed and sent to their
deaths loyal sons of France; you
expended your energies in the cause
of the enemy, fondly believing that
her cause would triumph."
The man stood transfixed to the
spot. Like a marble statue, he re
mained clutching the iron rail of
the dock.

PERHAPS IT IS
OUR ERROR
One of our customers asked
us if we had no lower priced .
trunks than the Oshkosh
wardrobe at $45 and up.
Perhaps we were too en
thusiastic about this wonder
ful line that we forgot to
mention our other lines. We
carry trunks, as low in price
as is consistent with the qual
ity to give good service.
Call and see them.
