REREL ARMY MARCHES
 ON DESTRUCTIVE TRIP

Juarez Mexico, Dec. .29-General SaIazar's federal irregulars have left Ojinaga on their trip to the Mormon colonies with orders to repeat Sher- mans march to the sea. Scouts from the rebel garrison returned from Bosque Bonito with the report that the vanguard of General Salazar's fly ing column was near Bonito, moving westward toward Juarez and Casas Grandes. The command numbers B. 500 men, equipped with the best horses in the federal cavalry. It had started it's burning and destroying campaign when the scouts returned to Juarez.
 General Francisco Castro, in com mand of the main column, has been ordered to move westward behind the Sa1azar column, as the idea of Joining General VeIasco at Santa Rosalia has been abandoned because of the rebel victories south of Chihuahua. The present scheme is to separate General Villas forces into three segm ents, one being on the Camargo desert en route to Ojinaga, another south of General Villa and a third in Chihuahua.
 The garrison in Juarez does not number more than one thousand and by cutting the railroad it will be out of communication with General Villa at Chihuahua and it will be easy to

PHANTOM BANDITS"
 ALARM FRENCH TOWN

Cannes, Dec. 29-The people of the outlying districts are in a state of panic over what they believe to be the reappearance of the phantom band its'' who terrorlzed the countryside for years by a series of murders and out rages which long baff1ed the best eff forts of the authorities.
 Last night a, farmer was shot dead through a window he was sitting with his family at the supper table The previous night another farmer was shot at, but not hit. In each case a thorough search of the surround ings failed to reveal the slightest clue to the criminals.
 Some of the most experienced de- tectives of Paris were engaged for months in running down the bandV of terroristS, and they succeeded in ar resting several men whom they be- 1ieve to be the principal members of the band. They are now in jail await ing trial. Gendarmes and special de- tectives from Marseilles have been despatched to the district to investi- gate the new series of outrages.

FAILS
 TO ESCAPE FLOOD
 OF 'BEGGING' MAIL

Pass Christian, Miss, Dec. 29-Al- though President Wilson is courteous 1y left unmoIested by residents of this vicinity, hundreds of people in all parts of the country daily are pursuing him through the mails.
 The President is devoting much more time than he had expected to correspondence. Dr. Cary T. Gray son, his physician, today said the President was slowly improving in health but needed more rest. Ac- cordingly it. was stated that here after MT. Wilson will refrain from at- tempting to answer communications except those of unusual importance. Of these there have been very few.
 The bulk of the correspondence, of the kind that pours in at the White House daily, covering requests for en- gagements, endorsements of candi- dates for office and matters of a sim liar nature, is not to be directed to the Presidents attention until he re- turns to Washington. Then it will be systematically condensed for him in the customary way.
 Among the letters which have been pouring in at Pass Christian are many endorsing various bankers and others for membership in the new federal reserve board. None of these rec mmendations will be presented to the President until he returns to the White House.

Chestertown, Md, Dec. 2e-Kent county farmers began streaming into town this morning for the meeting of the grand jury which was named Sat urday night for the purpose of taking up the cases of the negroes accused of the murder. of James R. Coleman, 6 rich farmer.
 OutwardIy, at least, the population was calm and the authorities seemed satisfied that there wouldTbe no re- petition of the wild scenes of last Saturday night, when mob unsuc- cessfuIly stormed the jail with the avowed intention of lynching the pris- oners.
 The confessions of James Parraway and Norman Mabel were repeated to- day and reduced to writing for pres entation to the grand jury. Parraway has admitted that he was the slayer of Coleman and that Mabel robbed the body. This confirmed Mabel's state ment to the states attorney, both agreeing that Parraway struck Cole man over the head with iron bar, killing him, while Mabel rif1ed the dead mans pockets.

Cincinnati, Dec. 29-Robert M.

MEXICO COMPLAINS OF
 AMERICAN PARTIALITY

Mexico City, Dec. 29-Mexico has forwarded protest to it's representa- tive at Washington which, it is an- nounced here, will be presented to the state department, against alleged as- sistance given by Americans to the rebels at Tampico and MazatIin. The complaint is based on representations made by the governor of Tamaulipas and the federal authorities at Mazat- Ian to the department of the interior.
 The governor alleges that Clarence A. Miller, the American consul at Tampico helped the rebels to obtain arms and made adverse comments against the federals. He further aI- rleges that the rebels used launches flying the American flag to commun- icate with the forces along the river and that during the attack against Tampico provisions were furnished to the rebels in these launches.
 The auth critics at Mazat1an in their complaint, asserted that American vessels along the coast were in con- stant communication with the rebels

take the town.
 Mounted horsemen, thought to be scouts of the federals, have been seen as far west as San Ignacio, sixty miles east of Juarez, and the main column of General Salazar's troops is report ed to be between San Ignacio and Bosque BonitO, which is one hundred miles east. It is expected that the first stop of the federaIs will be at Guadalupe, thirty miles below Juarez.
 In the meantime General Villa will remain in Chihuahua, as his forces are so scattered that he will be un- able to muster more than 5000 men at any one point. His column south of Chihuahua has been fighting the federals under General VeIasco, his eastern column is en route to Ojinaga under General Ortega and his Juarez garrison under General Benavides is isolated and can neither be reinforce ed or withdrawn if the federals ap- proach the railroad line.
 Nothing less than the fall of Huerta and his punishment from the country will ever be considered as preliminary toward peace in Mexico, 9 said General Villa, at Chihuahua, to- day. And overtures for a compro- mise would be treated with contempt by the revolutionists.'
