Conflicting Reports

Fl. PASO, March 26.-COnflicting reports left the fate of Villas army in doubt. Villa telegraphed to Gen. Chao at JuRrez that he has been in possession of Gomez Palacio since this morning and predicted the rebels will have Torreon by Saturday. On the other hand federal officials had official advices'' from the rebels. Chao gave out Villas telegram say ing he still maintained a base at Elverjil He added the federals tried to evacuate Torreon by way of the hills to the southward but were driven back The federal consular officers said that this was feint to draw the rebels over 127 dynamite mines.
 Miguel Diebold, federal consular inspector. declared when the rebels thought they had Gomez Palacio they were victims of trap the result of which they lost heavily, including six hundred prisoners.

This is Taken to Indicate That Ulster Affair is Forcing British Govern ment into Critical Situa- tion
NEW PRESCRIPTIONS
 ARE ANNOUNCED
In the Meantime There is No Change in Situation in Ireland-Belfast is Re maining Quiet
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPArCH1

LONDON, March 26.-That the government is facing a situation of extreme difficulty is proved by the fact that Premier Asquith was not in a position to make his promised statement and consequently it was postponed until tomorrow. The air is filled with rumors, the most credi- ble being report that Colonel Seeley, after all, is to quit the war office by an exchange of portfolios with Louis Harcourt, secretary of the colonies.
 The only new facts in the situation were found in the resignation of Field Marshal Sir John French of the imperial general staff and that of John Spencer Ewart as adjutant gen. eral from the council. The rumor persists that other members of the council have resigned. Negotiations and conferences were many The prime minister called a hurried meet ing of the cabinet at his residence after which it was decided to post pone the statement to parliament. There is no change in the situation in Ireland. Belfast remains quiet.
 Nothing is likely to be known of- ficially until Premier Asquith makes his statement in the house of com mons. when it will probably be found that the removal of Colonel Seeley from the war office is the price paid for the withdrawal of the resignations Of Generals French and Ewart and the arrangement of this
 matter was the reason for the post
 ponement of the premier's state ment.
 According to the best information | the conference at the war office yes terday afternoon of all principal com- manding generals of the army was called to enable Generals French and Ewart to explain that their resigna- ! tions was a personal matter arising
 solely from the fact that they signed the Cough memorandum, which the government had since repudiated, and they urged that all the other officers 1 should remain at their posts. ] Then followed interviews with the
 ministers and audience with the king
 with view to inducing them to re- consider their action. But both Gen eral French and Ewart remained firm in their decision that it would
 be impossible for them to retain their
 post while Col. Seeley remained sec- i retary of war They were willing, however, to withdraw their resign
 nations if Colonel Seeley was re- moved.
 Faced by this ultimatum and the | knowledge that strong feeling against Col. Seeley existed among a
 large section of the radical support
 CTS of the government, the prime minister seems to have arrived at the conclusion that he must abandon 1 Colonel Seeley.
 Field Marshal French rendered his resignation, afterwards authorizing | the statement that the resignation
 neither has been accepted or with l drawn.

 MEXICO CITY, March 26.-The government again claimed a victory at Tor reon, though admitting that details are lacking.
 A message received at the war office purported to con finn the defeat of Villa with a loss of 700 killed. The rebels are said to be retreating to Bermejillo. This was the first dispatch from the fighting zone.
 Extra editions of news papers were spread about the city, based on the gov ernment's meager dispatch from San Pedro. In rail road circles, however, the news is discredited on the ground that Hipolito is 13O miles east of Torreon, the nearest point of communi- cation. The government also claims victories at Gua- tro Cienegas and Artega.

Beautify the Roads

This Is the time of the year when
most people begin to think Of good
roads as the sunny days get warmer
and longer enticing people out Of
doors. While we want good roads,
why not have beautiful ones as well?
The expense Of beautifyng them
would not be great at this time of the
year and the result would be quite
profitable in many ways. Most of our
highways are too flat and allow wa
ter to stand after a rain or soft snow
which works into unsightly mud holes
Which are sometimes almost impassa-
Bile and always source of annoyance,
retarding progress and not contribut-
ing to the good nature of the driver.
This can be corrected In a great meas
ure by rounding the road so there will
be a slight down grade from the CEN
ter to the extreme side. where there
should be a ditch or drain large
enough to carry any water that might

There Is nothing more unsightly 70

tous weeds along the roadside If
those who travel these arteries of
pleasure and commerce would take a
few seeds Of our harder grasses and
flowers and scatter along. a great
many would take root and grow, beau
tifying the highway and pleasing to
the traveller be he a pedestrian, horse
man or motorer
Now that the government Is taking
a very decided and substantial inter-
est In our roads, | have no hesitancy
in saying It would furnish seeds for
this purpose without cost to any re-
sponsible person WHO would see that
they were used IN the proper way.

more pleasing to the eye than a beau
tiful street or country road?A Don't

THE SURPLUS SHR|NKS
LIVING COST GOES UP
UNDERWOOD TARIFF BILL FAILS
As REVENUE PRODUCER AND
REDUCER OF LIVING COST.

Winfield Jones, the Washington cor
respondent of the Salt Lake Tribune,
in recent letter draws attention to
the condition of the national treasury
and to the advancing cost of livins
which will be difficult for the demo-
Gratis to explain in the approaching
campaign. He says. "A shrinking
treasury balance and increased cost o.
the common articles of food are two
of the results of the democratic tariff
policy Of the Wilson administration.
These statements are based on gov
eminent reports issued by the Wilson
administration itself.
The general fund of tho treasury
has fallen below the hundred million
mark. and for months has becn falling
below this mark at the rate of a half
million dollars day.
During the Wilson administration in
1918, according to government reports,
there has been big jump in the cost
of foodstuffs
The statement of the financial con
dition Of the United States treasury
made public here on February Ia
showed a balance in the general fund
of $9S.5S9,96974.
This is the first time since the ad-
vent of the Wilson administration that
the general fund" has fallen below
the $l00,000000 mark. That fund has
not been in such deplorable state for
years past, although persons who make
it part of their business to keep in

A close analysis would probably
prove that the general list Of everyday
