UNITED STATES MAY
BAR ARMED VESSELS

Washington, March 27.-Secretary
Lansing has before him formal re.
sponses from the entente powers re-
jecting the proposal made by the state
department that they enter into a mo-
dus vivendi and disarm all their mer-
chant ships with the understanding
that the central powers would pledge
that such unarmed ships would not be
attacked without warning.
1t is understood the fundamental OBJ
lection is there should be no change
in the principles of international law
during the progress of hostilities
While no indication was given at the
state department of the next step to
be taken it is understood the United
States may consider limiting access to
American ports to vessels which, in
the judgment of this government, car
ry offensive armament

j. s. LEADS WORLD
IN MANUFACTURES

New York, March Manufactures
in the United States have doubled in
value since 1900, according TO an
analysis of 1915 census returns made
by the foreign trade department of
the National City bank. These figures
show that the total output for 1914,
the year covered by the 1916 census,
will amount to $4,000. 100000, as COM
pared with less than $4,000, 100000
shown by the census of 1900.
The compilation shows that the man
ufactures of the United States now
are double those of any other country
in the world. Germany's output in the
year preceding the outbreak of the
war was less than $4,000, 900, 600,
while those of Great Britain in 1907,
the latest returns available, were
about $4,000, 10000 Those of France
probably are about the same as Great
Britain's.
In manufactures exported the Unit
ed states now leads the world, the
total for the calendar year 1915 hav-
ing been s1,7S4, 100000, while that of
Great Britain, usually the worlds larg-
est exporter, was s1,500, ,O0O, 900. Nor
mally the United States ranks third
in the expectation OF manufactures.

FUNSTON MAY ASK
FOR MORE TROOPS

San Antonio, Tex, March 27.-Gen.
eral Funston may be compelled to re-
quest more troops.
A flood of telegraphed demands for
federal troop protection poured in up
on him from alarmed communities
hear the Texas, Arizona and New
Mexico border
AS a result General Funston may
recommend to the war department
that a call be issued for the national
guard of the three border states to be
used for border patrol duty.
Believing that such action might
alarm the Mexican people and render
more difficult the task of the Ameri-
can expedition and Mexico's de facto
government, General Funston, it is
known, has been reluctant to ask for
the services OF state militia.
Regular army forces in the United
States will be further depleted as Gen.
eral Pershings line of communication
lengthens. Already 1t is so long that
additional troops must soon be sent

Several thousand American soldiers

Dispatches received at Mexico City

the reports TO FL Paso from General
Bertani in the field that the troops
Of the de facto government had come
into contact with villa in the Santa
Clara canyon. General Pershing has
made no mention of this battle and
army officers here incline TO the belief
that it was probably no more than an
outpost engagement
Major Sample, in command Of the
United States army base at Columbus,
has been asked to investigate the re-
port in Douglas, Ariz, that Villa ban
dts had crossed the border eight
miles west of Columbus and murdered
three Americans-two women and one
man. The bandits, numbering 100 or
more, are said to have recrossed into
Mexico after the killing. The pres
ence of such a body of Villa forces in
the Upper Galeana district would be
a threat to the line of communication
TO the base of the American expedi-
tion at Casas Grandes.
