YANKEE Cash BOLSTERS VILLA

Washington, Oct. "a dragnet
has been thrown out today by United
States troops and secret service men
on the Mexican border in search OF
the Mexican outlaws active in recent
raids. A man hunt of immense pro-
portions is impending. Officials ad-
mitted today that the border situation
is acute. Steps to check the raiders
are under the personal direction of
President Wilson.
Because of the inception of the raids
on American soil and the American in
fluences believed responsible, the wild
est rumors regarding the border situ-
alton were in circulation today. One
report was that Villa was instigating
the attacks upon American soldiers in
reprisals for this governments recog-
milton of Carranza and in the hope of
forcing American Intervention across
the boundary.
Another rumor was that Villa has
secured new American financial back
ing for further revolt. Still another
was that Felix Diaz was fomenting q
new revolution in close cooperation
with Zapata.
Government agents here are closely
watching the activities of Mexicans in

any money or arms is being sent to

Mexicans were shot and killed by
American soldiers late yesterday near

Greece and Rumania Sit Back.
The belief is growing here that
neither Greece nor Rumania is like

cess. Greece apparently regards this
as more important than the offer OF
Cyprus, and it is feared in Athens the
allied troops have come too late into
the Balkan field.
Bombardment of the Bulgarian
coast by an allied fleet raises hopes in
England that the entente powers will
not be content with landing troops in
Saloniki, but cause enough of a di
version elsewhere to engage a consid-
cradle body of Bulgarian troops. 1t is
expected here that the arrival at the
Dardanelles of General Sir Charles
Monro, the new commander of the ex-
peditionary force, will be accompanied
by new military activity on the Gal

new feature Of the Delaware au-
tomobile law that is working great
and unjust hardship upon such
owners.
In brief that provision is that
any auto truck owned by nom
resident corporation, firm or CO.
partnership must have a Della
ware license before it crosses the
state boundary line; that the
driver Of such vehicle must have
a Delaware license, and that both
the owner and the driver of the
machine are liable for heavy fines
for violation Of the law.
The fact that the machine and
the driver are properly licensed in
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Mary
land, or any other State is no pro-
lection under this Delaware law,
which already has resulted in
hardship, injustice and humilia-
to nonresident owners and opera
tors, who relied upon their home
State license to protect them.
There is no prospect of immed-
late relief; nor have the police
and the courts any discretion in
the matter. The provision that has
worked so much injustice and
caused so much complaint was
added to the Delaware automobile
law at the last session of the Leg
Islature. 1t must remain there
until the next session, when it
probably will be repealed or sem
sibly modified.
Meanwhile, to save such nom
resident owners and operators, the
concert Of action alluded to above
should be had, to nullify, so far
as may be possible, the effect of a
legal provision that never should
have been enacted.
To prevent reprisals by other
States against our own automo-
bilists, it should be made clear to
officials and automobilists in
those other States that the provi-
sion of the Delaware law does not
meet with the approval of the
Delaware public and that it is
eager for the time to come when
it will be possible to do away with
it for the sake of the comfy that
should exist among the States and
for the protection of Delaware's
business with surrounding terri
tory. Evening Journal
