RAILWAY servIce Resumed

Hermosillo, Sonora, Mex, Dec. %.
Communication by rail and tele-
graph have been practically restored
throughout northwestern Mexico, ac-
cording to an announcement made to-
day by Ignacio Bonillas, secretary of
communication in General Carranza's s
provisional cabinet. This is assisting
materially the constiutionalists cam
paign by putting the various insurgent
leaders in close touch with the gen
eral headquarters here.
Coast Ports are Tottering
Telegraph lines have been restored
in the states Of Sinaloa, Sonora, Chi
huahua and Durango, which comprise
a section in northwestern Mexico
about 500 miles long and about 500
miles wide. In this territory the fed
erals hold only the coast towns of
Guaymas, on the gulf of California
and Mazatlan, on the Pacific ocean.
Constitutionalist officials assert that
only the presence Of two federal gum
boats on the coast has prevented the
capture Of these ports.
Secretary Bonillas announced that
within a few days telegraphic com
munication will be restored between
Nogales on the ArizonarSonora border
and Juarez, on the Texas-Chihuahu
border, by way Of Torreon, 700 miles
south Of the international line. AL
ready the border telegraph lines be-
tween Hermosillo and Chihuahua city
have been put in working order.
Carranza's House Sacked
General Carranza received from his
home at saltillo, Coahuila, news that

CRITICISED HIS POLICIES
AT A RECENT DINNER WILSON'S
PHILIPPINE PROGRAM WAS
i sATIRlzED
WHAT DO THEY HOLD SACRED?
EXECUTIVE SAYS THEY SHOULD
BE REMINDED OF THEIR
SWORN DUTY

Washington, Dec. President
Wilson today made public a letter adj
dressed to Secretaries Garrison and
Daniels, respectively, requesting that
a very serious reprimands be admin
istered to those army and navy Off
GERS who participated in the recent
dinner of the Military Order of the
Carabao at which the administration S
Philippine and other policies were
satirized The letter follows:
"The officers who were responsible
for the program Of the evening are
certainly deserving or a very serious
'reprimand, which I hereby request be
administered; and I cannot rid myself
Of feeling Of great disappointment
that the body of Officers assembled at
the dinner should have greeted the
carrying out Of such program with
apparent indifference to the fact that
it violated some of the most dignified
and sacred traditions of the service.
II am told that the songs and other
amusements Of the evening were in
tended and regarded as fun. What
are we to think Of officers OF. the army
and navy Of the United States who
think lit Is fun to bring their offstiaff
superiors into ridieule and the poll
cies Of the government which they
are sworn to serve with unquestion-
ing loyalty, into contempt? If this
is their idea of fun, what is their idea
of duty? If they do not hold their
loyalty above all silly erfervescences
of childish wit what is there about
their profession that they hold
sacred2
my purpose, therefore, in admins
tering this reprimand is to recall the
men who are responsible for this
lowering of standards to their ideals;
to remind them Of the high conscience
with which they ought to put duty
above personal indulgence and to
think Of themselves as responsible
men and trusted soldiers, even while
they are amusing themselves as din
ers-out. Sincerely yours,
(signed) WOODROW WILSON"

nun operation since then. The miners

TO DRIVE OUT THE FFDERALS
HUERTA's SOLDIERS soon WILL

STATES
GENERAL MERCADO FLEES
COMMANDER AT oJlNAeA FEARS
THAT HE WILL BE PUT
81 TO DEATH

chihuahua, Mexico, Dec. 22.-Rebel
control of telegraph and railroad COM
munication south and west of Chihua-
hua today had reached a point where
General Villa believed he would be
safe from any attack by the federal
troops remaining in the north. AS
the cities in the rebel territory are
opened to communication General
Villa believes the rebel forces are
becoming more closely united and that
soon the states of Sonora, Sinaloa,
Durango and Chihuahua will be free
of federal control.
Although 1000 federals at Ojinaga,
on the border, were reported to be
preparing for action General Villa be-
lieyed that they would be unable to
do more than destroy the railroads
in campaign of guerilla warfare.
Villa said Chihuahua was too well
fortified to fear an attack. The re-
port that General Mercado had fled
across the border was regarded here
as the beginning of the breaking up
of the federal troops.
This city, next to Monterey, the
most important in the north, is a
scene Of desolation, occasioned by its
long siege and subsequent sacking by
the rebels NO other large city in
Mexico is more destitute.
The stores, now sealed up against
further looting, are almost empty
The litter in the streets betrays the
haste with which the federals took
what they could carry before they
fled, and also the, oeageness with
which the rebels entered the shops
to obtain what was left of food and
clothing.
The streets have been plastered
with notices that crimes, ordinarily
considered trivial, will be punished
with execution. General villa, who
can neither read nor write, exercises
all the functions of government from
the state capitol.

two per cent bonds on which the pres
ent currency is based was written into
the bill by the conference. Under
this plan $S6,OOO,OOO worth Of these
bonds will be purchased each year, be-
ginning two years after the system is
placed in operation by the new re-
gional banks from the present nation
al banks. On one-half Of its holdings
each regional bank may issue curren-
rency. The remainder will be refund
ed in three per cent 3O-year bonds
OF three per cent one-year treasury
notes, which the banks must agree ta
renew each year for 80 years.
Another senate amendment that was
crushed out in the conference was the
proposal to guarantee bank deposits.
Under the conference agreement,
cities where regional reserve banks
are to be located will be selected by
the secretary Of the treasury, the sec
.retary of agriculture and comptroller
of the currency
When kilograms favoring Seattle
were presented to the senate today
by Senator Poindexter, Senator Bur
ton declared that the organization
committee should be entirely free
from outside interference in determin-
ing where the banks were to be locat
ed. If it were practical, he said, con
gress should pass a resolution that no
senator or representative should use
his influence with the organization
committee The conference voted to
leave Alaska out Of the new system.
The provision for the refunding Of
the government two per cent bonds
and the retirement Of the present ma
tional currency is as follows:
National banks may make appliea-
ton to the treasurer Of the United |
States to have their bonds sold at par
and accrued interest. The treasurer
will prepare a list Of all such appli-
cations and furnish it to the federal
reserve board. The latter may com
pei the regional reserve banks to pur-
chase annually total Of not more
than $25 100000 of these bonds.
The purchase money for the bonds
will so 70 the treasurer, who will pay
it to the banks selling the bonds, first
deducting enough to cover the value Of
all Of the bank notes still outstanding.
The regional reserve banks that pur-
chase the bonds will be permitted to
take out an amount of new currency
equal to the par value, Of the bonds,
or they hay secure one-year gold notes
Of the United States for han the va
lue Of the bonds and three per cent
80-year bonds for the balance.
II the latter method is adopted, the
regional bank can be compelled to re-
purchase one-year gold notes each
year for 80 years. The one-year notes
would bear three per cent interest.
The period within which the banks
shall shift their reserve from the
banks in central reserve or reserve
titles was extended by the conference
committee from the two-year limit Of
he senate bill to a three-year limit.
To Guarantee Deposits
The elimination Of the federal guar
antee Of bank deposits from the new
bill is to be followed soon
BY the introduction OF a separate bill
o establish such a guarantee Chair
nan owen Of the senate banking com
nittee expects to introduce 1t early
next month.
