THREE MORE TOWNS
TAKEN BY CARRANzA

Douglas, Ariz.. July 21.-Nacozari,
Cumpas and Pilares, three important
towns of the Montezuma district Of
Sonora, have been occupied by Car
rama troops, according 70 reports re-
ceived at Aqua Prieta. This gives
the Carranza forces under General p.
Elias Gales control of a strip of coun-
try $50 miles long, including seventy
miles of the Nacozari railroad, which
was being prepared to handle ship
ments of concentrates from Nacozari.
Ell Tigre and other mining towns.
General Gales himself telegraphed
news OF another victory over Villa
forces at Villa Verde and notified hi:
representatives here that he would
continue on to Nogales, headquarters
of Jose Maytorena, Villa governor, to
lay siege to that place, which lies on
the American border.
The battle at Villa Verde occurred
Monday and Gales message stated
that the Villa forces retreated toward
Nogales after three hours of fighting.
The Villa losses we're given as fifty
five killed and seventy prisoners.
Gales also reported the capture Of
two pieces of artillery, 1925 rifles and
a military train loaded with provi.
sions and ammunition.

PRESIDENT HALL, N. c. RY.
HEAD, GOES WEST

President J. M. Hall of the Mid
land Continental railroad was a
west-bound passenger Tuesday on
No. 8. He was met at Fargo by Secre-
tary Graves of the Grand Forks
Commercial club, who obtained an
interview with the railroad man in
regard to future prospects of an ex-
tension of the Midland road from
Wimbledon to- thu" FORK. President
Hall continued his trip west without
stopping.
1t is understood that there is no
change in the financial conditions in
the eastern money centers of this
country and that the capital for rail-
road extension in the West is not
tempted to enter the field as long as
the European war prevails. 1t is
reported that a vastly more profit
able interest rate is being secured by
big financiers in the use of money by
belligerent nations and also in the
manufacture and sale of war mater
ial and munitions than the ordinary
rate of interest derived from rail-
road securities.
North Dakota Outlook Great.
Secretary Graves of the Grand
Forks club says that every indication
points to North Dakota having the
largest crop in her history as a state,
and that the feeling generally
amongst the business men and 9TH
ers is very optimistic for a profit
able business year following the
present fall season and a heavy in
crease in immigration throughout
the state.
The backwardness of the corn
crop is only an incident that will
right itself and should favorable
fall season prevail, a good fodder
crop at least will be secured, which
will answer most every purpose of
feed for hogs and cattle.

Washington, July 21.-President
Wilson laid before the cabinet an out
line Of the note to Germany in re.
sponse to Berlin's last answer to the
American notes on the sinking of the
Lusitania and submarine warfare.
1t was the first cabinet meeting in q
month and the secretaries, returning
from different sections of the coun.
try, brought to the president their
views of public sentiment. Generally
it was for taking firm stand.
No announcement of any kind was
made at the White House, where 1t
was indicated that the character of
the note had not yet been finally de-
termined.
There we're no manifestations of
tension In Official quarters, the con-
1idence prevailing that in the absence
of any new violation of American
rights the situation would not become
Immediately dangerous. Some OIL
cials were impressed, however, that
the attack on the British steamer
Orduna, endangering score of
Americans, had introduced q new set
Of circumstances, showing that even
on voyages from Europe to the Unit
ed States submarine warfare as being
waged by Germany subjects neutrals
to constant risks. 1t is not certain,
however, that any reference to the
Orduna case will be made In the new
American note.

It was learned that no official in
Washington is more keenly apprecia-
tive of the grave situation confront
ing tho United States as = result Of
Germany's disregard by word and by
act Of the presidents demands on her
than is President Wilson himself.
Neither is there any disagreement as
to the Interpretation placed on public
opinion to the effect that while the
country may be divided as to particu-
lar action, it is united to the extent
Of demanding that there be no reces-
sion by the United States.
There is no sign of any dissension
in any quarter from the view that the
next note must have a tone Of unmis-
taxable finality. 1t is not understood
that the president differs from his ad-
visors, who are agreed as to the fulfil.
ity of further discussion of the sub
marine issue with a government which
has failed, in two notes, to make any
response whatever to the solemn de-
mands of this government. With the
Orduna case in mind, it is. felt that
there can no longer be any doubt as
to Germany's intentions and acts be-
ing absolutely contrary to all that
the president has contended for.
After the cabinet meeting, which
lasted more than two hours, the Sec
retaries left in group and refused
to discuss the situation.

The 18th Street Extension.

The public utilities commission now
has before it the difficult problem of
deciding on the proposed Capital
Traction extension along 18TH street
from u street south, for which vari-
Gus routes are suggested, designed
to give north and south communica-
ton in the area between the 18th
street and Connecticut avenue lines.
Property owners have entered pro-
test against this additional trackage,
while other citizens have urged the
extension. At yesterdays hearing on
the subject arguments were present.
ed by both sides, and a strong show
ing was made by each, SO that the
commissioners are confronted with
difficult task in ruling on the ap-
plication of the company. Perhaps
the most interesting point raised
against the proposed new trackage
was that action should be delayed
until it could be determined whether
the jitney bus service now being in
stalled in Washington will furnish
the facilities needed for transport in
the section proposed to be covered
Evening star., 1915-05-30

Of course, this test cannot be applied
unless a specific jitney service is in
stalled along the route projected by
the car company. 1t may be assumed
that the promoters of the jitney serv-
ice are seeking the most profitable
fields of operation, and that they will
experiment with different routes un-
til they find those that yield profit
able patronage. This process, how
ever, involves considerable delay in
covering the whole city with these
test lines successively. and it is now
for the utilities commission to deter
mine first whether there is a real
need of traction service in the sec
ton sought to be covered by the pro-
jected new car line. and second
whether there is any prospect that
that need may be met by jitneys run
ming on schedule and definitely as
signed to that route. Naturally
many of the residents along the
streets named for the extension op-
pose the laying of tracks in front of
their properties, and so far as the
public interests warrant their oppo-
sition should be taken into account
as a factor of weight.

The Study of Spanish.

At meeting of the Spanish-Amer-
ican Atheneum in this city the other
night a speaker gave statistics re-
Gently compiled showing that of the
100000 900 people in the United States
only about 10000 are at present
studying Spanish. This is a trifling
percentage when the proximity of a
vast Spanish population to this coun-
try is considered. The pan-Ameriean
financial congress just closed here
has developed the urgent need Of
closer relations between the people
of the two continents, not merely for
purposes of trade expansion but for
the cultivation of more genuine and
lasting friendship.
1t is not sufficient to rely upon the
enterprise of the South and Central
Americans in acquiring English. We
of the United States should do our
part toward getting on basis of mt
tual understanding. In practical lines
knowledge of Spanish is of unmis-
taxable value TO young man. 1t
opens to him door of opportunity
that is closed to those who have no
knowledge of the common tongue of
the millions with whom we are des-
tined in the years to come to have
close intercourse. The public schools
should be helpful in spreading this
knowledge. Colleges should put
Spanish upon the list of preferred
modern languages. The 10000 now
engaged in this study should in an
other year be increased to half mil
lion, at least, if the United States IS
to make a definite advance toward
real acquaintance with the Latin
American people.
