VILLA PLANNING TO
MAKE BORDER RAID
EXPLAINS PURPOSES TO GEN.
SCOTT AS FRIENDLY TO THE
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT.

Ell Paso, Tex.-General Villa. who
plans 70 attack the Mexican border
towns opposite Naco and Douglas,
Ariz., with 5000 troops, has explained
his campaign in a communication tele-
graphed a few days ago to General
Scott, chief of staff of the United
States army.
General Villa believes his plan of
campaign is entirely friendly to the
American government; that by driving
out the last Carranza garrison on the
western border he would be removing
the cause of the controversy regard
ing shooting across the international
line.
The Mexican navy, or part of it at
least, has declared for neutrality, ac-
cording to dispatches to the Cutter
rez agency here. which say four gun
boats on the Atlantic coast have re-
tired to a quiet cove off Yucatan to
await the result of the battle between
the factions.

Friday announced the receipt of the
note from Great Britain replying 10
the American communication of De-
cember 26, respecting American COM

The British communication is incon-
elusive in many respects and will lead
to further exchange of notes. Al
though many concessions to neutral
commerce have been made by England
through embargoes on re-exportation

American note, such as proof at the

STATE HAPPENINGS.

With 3l,492,16S bushels OF wheat eX-
ported from New Orleans during the
calendar year ended December 81,
1914, including S,0S3.O2S bushels
shipped during the month OF Decem-
ber, all previous records for the port
have been shattered, with the result
that New Orleans will once more
figure among the leading ports of the
country. According to figures issued
by w. l.. Richardson, chief grain in
spectOr and weighmaster of the New
Orleans Board OF Trade, the increase
in the wheat expectation during 1914
amounted TO exactly 17,104,177 over
that OF 1913, and during the month OF
December alone there were exported
some 7,460,52S bushels in excess CT
that exported in the corresponding
month last year. The total export
since September l, 1914, amounted to
20,OS5,S $50, or an increase of some H.
S15,S36 bushels over the corresponding
period in 1913. That the European
war Is not wholly responsible for the
phenomenal increase of grain move
ments from New Orleans is shown in
the report issued by Mr.. Richeson, the
perusaI of which will indicate a sys-
tematic growth from year to year. In
the year 1910 the total wheat export
amounted TO 166,62S bushels. The fol-
lowing year exports OF the same COM
modify amounted to l,941 bushels.
while the year 1912 showed a total ex-
port OF 7.97y,9S5 bushels. This amount
was almost doubled during 1913, when
some 14.3S7.99O bushels were exported.
The increase in the shipment OF oats
was also gratifying, reports having
risen, from 22,S47 bushels in 1910 to
l,I54,420 bushels in 1914.
