VILLAS ACTIONS
 PUZZLE CARRANzA
FIVE HUNDRED TROOPS REPORT ED TO HAVE REACHED NACo
 FROM AGuA PRIETA.

Douglas, Ariz Whether Gen. Francisco Villa intends to press home his attack on Agua Prieta or pass up the border town and play for big ger game, the western coast cities Of Guaymas and Mazatlin, which would give him ports for securing much needed supplies, is problem that IS puzzling both the American army of- ficers here and the CarranZa forces in Agua Prieta.
 The Villa army began to move from Agua Prieta toward Naco and that town reported 300 Villa troops al. ready had reached there. Approxi. mately 4,O00 others were reported by train passengers as having been seen along the road leading toward Naco.
 It is known, too, that Villa agents have been endeayoring to purchase much needed supplies of flour and corn, and preparations have been made at Naco to take care of those wounded in the fight around Agua Prieta
 On the other hand. Gen. Gales scouts report that the main body of Villas army. re-enforced during the day by an unknown number of men from the east, is still within few miles of Agua Prieta Villa has sue ceeded in getting near to water sup ply at Caladones and Anayacachi pass and limited food supplies also have reached him.
 Every preparation was made in Agua Prieta for another attack. Gen. Ruston, commanding American forces, also made preparations by posting troops at vantage points in Douglas and moving them away from imme- diate contact with the border. Strict orders have been issued to keep residents of Douglas far away from the international line.
 This was merely precautionary measure. The general opinion among American army officers is that Villa has fooled the Carranza forces; that he merely nibbled at Agua Prieta, and finding 1t much tougher than he ex, pected will now ignore it, with its much coveted supplies of provisions and ammunition, and after his army Is thoroughly rested and provisioned Win strike down through Hermosillo and Magdalena to the west coast for a campaign of much greater import anee.
 A brief interview between Gen. Funston and Gel. Villa took place over the barbed wire fence marking the international line. short distance from Agua Prieta. At that time Gen. Villa assured Gen. Fusion that he wished to avoid bringing American troops into the conflict What else was said is not known. Gen Fun. ston will not talk

Approximately 20 per cent less coal was mined in Arkansas during the year ending June 30, 1915, than in the year ending June 30 1914, according to the annual report of T. H. Shaw, state mine inspector, filed with Gov ernor Hays. In 1915 there was mined l,700099 tons. valued at s3,137,211, as compared with 2,136.78 tons, valued at S3,531 100, in 1914. Reasons for the decrease, the report says, are the fall ing off in the price of coal. the open ing up of new fields where coal can be produced cheaper and the de pressed business conditions that pre- vailed. The number of employees en- gagged in the industry decreased from 5,355 in 1914, to APPS in 1915.
 The report says there were seven accidents in the field, in which men were killed. and 137 accidents from which no deaths resulted For each of the seven men killed 242,871 tons of coal were mined and for each man injured 12 409 tons were mined. For blasting and mining in the field 67,- 545 kegs of powder, costing $135,o9O, were required. The coal field in Ar kansas is confined to Sebastian, Scott, Franklin, Johnson, Pope, Yell, Logan, Washington and Crawford counties and covers an area of 1000 square miles. Sebastian county led in produc- tion with 1,254,373 short tons, valued at $1,135, 7S0

11iGIit tNOChs-- Forty eight of the D counties in Ar kansas have appropriated $66.725 for farm betterment work during the fis- cal year and it is probable further re- ports will boost the total to 60 coun- ties, according to c. w Watson, state agent for the United States De, partment of Agriculture
 Figures compiled by Mr Watson show that $53,S90 has been appr0- priated for farm work and $12,S35 for canning club work. Tie federal gov ernment aids county work in propor- tion to the amounts each appropriates. The maximum of federal aid is S600 for farm work and $500 for canning club work.

NOTE CONTAINS 5000 WORDS
Alleged Violations Of American Rights Presented to Great Britain-Ene- land Held u. S. to Account
 When Latter Was Fighting.

Washinston.-Th United States. made public here. covering exhaus- lively British interference with Amer iean trade since the beginning of the European war. declares that the so- called blockade instituted by the al- lies against enemy countries on March Il is ineffective, illegal and indefen- sible" Notice is served that the government cannot submit to the curtailment of it's neutral rights" and it cannot with complacenee suffer further subordination of it's rights and interests"
 Ambassador Page, to whom the note was sent by special messenger for de livery to the London foreign office, was instructed by Secretary Lansing ito impress most earnestly" upon the British government that the United States must insist that the relatiSns between it and his majesty's govern ment be governed not by policy of expediencY, but by those established rules of international conduct to which Great Britain in the past has held the United States to account when the latter nation was a belliger- ent engaged in struggle for nation al existence" ,"
 Declaring the United States ..un- hesitatingly assumes" the task of ehampioning the integrity of neutral rights, the note proelaims that the American government will devote its energies to the task, exercising al- ways an impartial attitude.

GREECE POLICY
 IS UNCERTAIN
IT IS CLAIMED SsRVIAN NORTH. ERIN ARMY IS BEING SLOWLY
 BUT SURELY CUT DOWN.

London While Greece hesitates the Servian northern army is being slowly but surely ground down before Ire combined pressure of the Asstro. German and Bulgarian forces. The fate of Nish hangs by a hair, and it k only at the southern end of the battle front that the Bulgars are meeting with any reverses There, ae- cording to reports, the British are co operating with the French, but as half these reports are unofficial and frag mentary, it cannot be said authorita lively whether the British are in touch with their new enemy.
 If the Bulgar-Teuton tide is turned the best opinion here is that it will be some weeks hence. involving a pc riod of uncertainty such as preceded the stand before Paris and on the Yser. But giving the entente powers a months time, it is argued that they can throw 300,000 and perhaps 800, coo men into Servia. not including Russians. and with such force not only dispute the advance of the central powers, but contest Bulgarias oceu patton of Servian Macedonia.
 The Germans remain on the defen sive in the east and west Neither theater has developed any large oat ties, as modern battles are reckoned.
 The Turks continued active in the Dardanelles region, as is recorded m British official communication from tie Gallipoli Peninsula. This says the Turks launched attacks against tae British right in the Anzac region, but that they did not dent the British lines

Residents of England who are op. tiary Commission of the Dr. N. B. Beakley farm near that town for a white convict farm may seek to en- join the commission from closing @ deal for the land, according to infor nation received from England. w. E. Laseter principal of the England High School and other leaders said over the long-distance telephone that bring ing suit is being considered, but that no definite conclusion has been reach ed. The England residents. they said. will use every means to keep the com mission from buying the Beakley farm or any other farm in the district
 The ground which the suit will be based. if filed. is that the act of 1915 providing for the purchase of an addi tional farm stipulates that the land must be upland and out of malarial region. The England residents say the Beakley farm and other land around England is bottom land and no better situation. from malarial standpoint than the present farm at Cummins, in Lincoln county The sec ton of the law authorizing the com mission to buy the farm read as fol- lows: Said commission is hereby authorized and empowered to pur- chase and equip farm in some sec ton of the state reasonably free from white eonvicts, the said farm not to exceed 5000 acres of land. for the pur- pose of working thereon at farming all white conyiets confined or to be confined in the penitentiarr."

Claims Survey Made By Government Engineers in 1841 the Lands in Dispute We're Erroneously
 Shown as Lakes.
Little Rock

LIIIle =hOCh.- According to telegram received by J. A. Teller, special assistant to United States Attorney General Greg ory, the United States Circuit Court of Appeals at St. Louis affirmed the decision of Judge Jacob Trieber in holding that the sunk lands of Mis- sissippi county belong to the govern ment and not to the present claim ants The case has been pending for more than six years and has creat- ed wide interest. More than POO families, according to MT. Tellier, now live on the 125,000 acres involv- ed. The land is valued at more than $6,000,0 GOO. The case is one of 10 brought by w. N. Mills and the late Col W. c. Whipple, special assistants to the United States attorney general, to recover the land from the present claimants. It involves Moon lake, which has been held by Lee Wilson, president of the Jonesboro. Lake City and Eastern railroad. and Well.known capitalist of eastern Arkansas. The lake comprises $50 acres
 In survey made by government en- gineers in 1S41 the lands in dispute were erroneously shown as lakes. They were not included in the lana opened for settlement At the time the lands were opened the water which formed the supposed lake at the time of the survey had disappeared and owners of land around 1t claimed it under repar- ian rights. Later the St. Francis Levee district claimed to have acquired a large part of 1t under the swamp land now involved in the suits was pur- chased from the levee board.
