News from Mexico and Philippines

— Americans and other foreigners have been notified to leave Mexico City while there still is railroad communication with the coast. This notification has been issued by the Carranza government. A train on the interoceanic railway near Lake Cascade was dynamited by the Zapata forces, and after the explosion the rebels fell upon the passengers and slaughtered even the unarmed among them. The total number of dead has not yet been ascertained.
— Under the leadership of American teachers, education in the Philippine Islands is making wonderful progress. This is given under the authority of the United States Bureau of Education in its recent report. Especially in lines of industrial training and useful arts are the Filipinos most apt. Schoolchildren in the Philippines are so expert in making fine lace and embroidery that the people of that country promise to become formidable rivals of experts in France and Switzerland.
