ORDER Americans
FROM VERA CRUZ
Washington Hears That
Warning Factions Again
Threaten Battle
BELIEVE FOREIGNERS
ARE BEING PROTECTED
By The United Press.

By The United Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Practical
ly no fresh news is reaching the State
Department from the interior of Mex
leo. Telegraphic communication
seems to be interrupted, or, at least
seriously delayed. However. the Off
cials do not express uneasiness, in
sisting that all information so far
available, points to the various fac
tional leaders protecting foreigners
and their interests.
While the Carranza forces seem to
be splitting into a number of separate
factions the forces Of General villa
are reported to be intact, and this.
State Department officials believe will
give villa and Gutierrez a material
advantage in final fighting.
The admission by Sir Cecil Spring.
Rice to Acting Secretary Of State
Lansing that his confidential reports
from Mexico City showed the capital
tranquil greatly pleased the officials
Because of the lack Of information Of
ficials here do not know whether villa
and the officers of the convention
party have entered the Mexican cap
ital. Such action, however, is looked
for soon if not already accomplished
The situation in Vera Cruz continues
uncertain. and all Americans have
been warned to leave, as severe fight
ing is expected there.

chicken Thief picked
OUT THOROUGHBRED Hens

Six thoroughbred hens. valued at
least 50 a piece. were stolen from the
yard of j. c. Steele. on Cleveland
Avenue. Elsmere, on Sunday night.
The thieves were very discriminating
as they picked the six out of the lot Of
twenty-one and did not touch $50
chickens belonging TO Joseph Nichols,
who lives adjoining.
The stolen hens were in n coop
about fifteen feet from the back door.
AS a black and tan dog. which was in
the house, made no outcry, il is be-
lieved that the thieves worked very
quietly. It is thought that the robbery
may have taken place about $50
o'clock. The family had been enter
tanning some friends on Sunday night
and when some of them looked out of
the back door. one remarked that he
thought he saw someone in the back
yard. The electric light on the porch
was turned on, but nothing was seen.

VILLA MOVES ARMY
nearer TO CAPITAL
By The United Press.

Ell PASO, Tex. Dec. l.-General
Villa has moved his headquarters from
Tula to Tlaltapntla, a journey of only
fifty minutes from Mexico City, but has
delayed his formal entry into the city
until Provisional President Gutierrez is
ready to accompany him. Everything
has been arranged for his entry and the
Zapatista forces which now hold the
capital are planning to give him a big
reception.
1t was reported at Villas headquarters
today that 5000 Villista troops have
driven the forces under General Pablo
Ganzales and General Jacinto Trevino
out of Pachuca, capital of the State Of
Hidalgo.

lack Of WAR TAX
STAMPS BAR TO
LOCAL SHIPPERS
Railroad, Steamboat and
Express Companies Get
StickerS to Aid Patrons
Secretary OF State
Office BUSINESS HIT

Inability Of the internal revenue office
for this district, recently taken over oy
a Democratic administration, TO secure
war tax stamps of various denomina-
tions for various classes of business
under the new revenue law, has hit bust
ness hard in Wilmington. Conditions To-
cally were bad today, and reports from
outside the city were that similar con-
ditions prevailed theme.
AS a result of the inability of the In
ternal Revenue Department to supply
the demand for the special stamps, the
State Department, at Dover, had no
stamps for charters or automobile IL
censes, and that part of the State De-
partment's business was at standstill
Secretary Of State Thomas w. Mil
Ter, who issues charters and also au-
tomobile licenses after being appealed
to for charters, telephoned to the
Office OF Collector Joshua w. Miles
of the Delaware Maryland revenue
district at Baltimore for stamps but
got no satisfaction as to when he
could get them. Mr. Miller also wrote
TO Mr.. Miles.
Under the new law, all shipments
received or sent must bear a special
stamp on the bill Of lading. Through
out the morning a steady stream Of
shippers was besieging the local
revenue offices for these stamps. In
side Deputy Timothy j. Mooney, Of
the Internal Revenue Department.
who assumed his duties today, was
busy explaining that the stamps had
not arrived, but that the various
transportation companies had them
They we're obtained in Philadelphia.
Many shippers sent goods to the rail-
roads without stamps, but they could
not be shipped until the shippers af-
fixed stamps to the shipments. Ship
ments cannot be delivered without
the special stamps, and the railroad
companies cannot affix them. This
caused a hold up of several ship
ments. The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company announced that It had
stamps at the Fourth and Pine street
office and the Wilmington Steamboat
Company also has stamps for the ac-
commodation of its shipping patrons.
The local express companies also
had supply of stamps for the use OF
their patrons.
Because Of the general effect on
business by the war tax today, there
was much open criticism of the
Democratic administration endeavor-
Ing to enforce a law before prepar-
Ing for its enforcement. This was
borne out when 1t was reported that
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
made a request yesterday for 100000
Dne-cent stamps for the bills of lad
Ing and they could only secure one
half that amount. Similar conditions
were reported from all over the city
and many shippers were mad and
complaints from many sources were
received by THE EVENING JOUR-
NAL
Owing to the stamps not arriving
here, local Magistrates today were
IN a quandary as to whether marriage
licenses should be issued. The magis-
trates were notified to issue the IL
censes without stamp, collect ten
cents for the stamp and secure the
stamps later. This was done so no
