FELIPE ANGELES, VILLA GENERAL, WILL BE TRIEf oourt Martial Will Try World Known Officer and Will Seek to Secure Death' Sentence. El Paso. Nov. 21. General Felipe Angeles, intellectual leader of the Villista movement, famous among military men of the world as an ar tillery expert, is scheduled to be tried by court-martial in Chihuahua City, Mex., today. The trial is con sidered by Mexican authorities as the. most important held in that country during a decade of revolu tion and banditry. Angeles, rjeputed, inventor of the French 75-millimeter gun, which is considered the most efficient piece of artillery ordnance ever used, was captured by Gen. Gabino Olivo, a Carranza leader, at Valle Oliva, Chi huahua, Wednesday last. ' Reports in circulation alongj the border to day were to the effect that General Angeles would be accused of revolt ing against his government and that the death penalty would be sougnt. Many Carranza officials were said to favor this disposition as a warn ing to all rebel chieftains. Short ness of time between his capture and the date set Jor trial was point ed to as indicating the possible fate in store for General Angeles. Trial Means Revolt. Conjecture was rife as to the ef fect of the trial. Some authorities in El Paso believed his execution would be disastrous to the Carranza government in that a new revolu tionary movement might follow. General Angeles lived in El, Paso while an exile from Mexico. He was equally well known in Wash ington, D. C, and New York City; Among American army officials He was held in high regard as a patriot and soldier. His family now is in New York, where Mrs. Angeles, because of illness, was not informed of her husband's capture. Villa sympathizers here today were outspoken with the opinion the bandit leader would make some demonstration over the capture of Angeles. Villa was last reported in the broken country southeast of Ojinga, Chihuahua, on the interna tional boundary gathering his forces for a new offensive within the next month. , Famous as General. General Angeles was a graduate of Chapultepec, "the military West Point of Mexico. He was sent to Europe on military missions by President Diaz and attended Freijch artillery, schools. He was the au thor of several military text books, that are used in European and new world' military schools. He f was officially decorated with the Legion of Honor by the French government for his work, Angeles cast his lot with the Ma dero revolution while still in Eu rope. He returned to be commander of Chapultepec. When Madero was assassinated Angeles was impris oned, but was released by Huerta, and then banished. When Carranza and -Villa split Angeles, who had joined them, cast his lot with Villa. He quit the latter following Villa's raid 011 Columbus, N. M., which' An geles refused to countenance.'' Aided the French. Angeles then became an inspector of munitions for the French. Ho returned to Villa ithis year when the latter issued a (manifesto he was done killing Americans.' Angeles again advised the bandit leader against a border attack when Villa decided to attack Juarez this year. In this attack Villa was defeated when American troops crossed over the boundary after shots had been fired into El Paso. Defeated, Villa fled south with his forces' rapidly dwindling. Angeles went into hiding until his capture. Over 8,000,000 in U. S. Illiterate; Claims Kenyon WashingtonNov. 21. If the il literate of the country were to be paraded past the White House by twos at 2) miles a day it would take them a month to pass the reviewing tand. v. This is a statement of Senator Kenyon of Iowa, who prepared the Americanization' bill which would j 1 : . l. : 1 1 : . J . u .t:.,, population. Senator Kenyon says there are 8,000,000 illiterates in thu United States, of whom a large proportion are alien born. He proposes to deal with the latter's case by compelling them to study the "American lan guage," as he calls it, before they are admitted to citizenship. A great deal of. the present unrest has been attributed to radical influ ence, and Senator Kenyon believes that if the foreign born, among whom the radiavis are most influ ential, were more familiar with the glorious tradition of their adopted land they would be slow to rise against the institutions of the United States. It is proposed todeal firm ly with foreign agitators" in the fu ture, and legislation may be added to the present bills pending which are expected to have a salutary influence on present conditions.
