 The Carranza agency here tonight issued the following:
 "El Paso reports that advices from the south state that Villa is concen tratng his forces at Torreon and that the Zapata troops are concern trating at Cuernavaca. Morelos, south | of Mexico City. General Benavides,

 Advices to the state department from various sources during the day
 were summarized as follows: An undated dispatch from Eagle
 Pass was received by the department
 on January 19 stating that the chief of arms at Monclova, with an escort of troops, had arrived at Piedras
 Negras. There appears to be a gen ! eral belief that the forces of Gen | eral Villa will soon occupy the ter | ritory surrounding Piedras Negras. l The railroad beyond Monclova is re- ported to be torn up and all bridges | burned.

 there is no change in the situation. l tiOn with the United States by either
 railroad or telegraph. It is stated
 that in compliance with the recent 1 oil decree petroleum companies have | closed down field operations. The department interprets this to mean construction work begun, and not lcompleted, such as the drilling of new
 wells, as it would appear from pre- vious advices that wells already un- der production will not be interfered
 with, especially where the companies
 have met all of the requirements such as the payment of taxes, etc.

WOOD APPEALS . ID THE PEOPLE
Postmaster Tells What He Has Asked for to Better Mail Service and What Public Must Do in Order to Get It
BY C. B. WOOD, Postmaster of Phoenix),

Postoffice Inspectors C. F. Dutton and c. D. Lowe have been in the city for the last week or ten days investi- gating the city delivery service with reference to proposed extensions of the service within the city. I have asked for two additional city carriers and for an auto allowance, in order that par eel post deliveries and collections might be made quicker and more economical ly than at the present time
 In making the special report to me, ing language:
 With reference to the proposed
 extensions of service, you must re-
 qu're persons receiving service to
 erect suitable mail receptacIes be-
 fore giving service.
 You should also notify patrons
 that the regulations require the
 erection of mail receptacIes and
 that you will he required under
 the regulations to discontinue the
 service unless such receptacles are
 are promptly erected.
 "In this connection the depart
 ment expects you to use greater
 effort than has heretofore been
 made in the erection of receptacIes
 in all parts of the city delivery
 service"
 In most cities of the size of Phoenix it is claimed that 90 per cent of the patrons of the postoffice have provided themselves with mail receptacles. For some reason or another there is scarce ly 10 per cent of the houses in Phoenix provided with proper receptacleS for the reception of mail. We are informed that this condition of affairs must cease or free delivery service will be much curtailed.
 As this department requires residents to provide boxes or receptacles on their front porch. or some convenient place for the carriers to deposit mail, l wish to urge upon every patron of the office receiving free delivery service to pro- vide these mail receptacles at once. The carriers are instructed to call the attention of householders to any neg lect in this matter and it is hoped that everyone will cooperate with the post office in this regard, in order that we may have an extension of the service and a more prompt and efficient ser vice, and a more economical service.
