timation had been given out at head
quarters today as to from what
source General Funston expects to
supply the new men.
The new men will take their sta

country. for active service with Gen
eral Pershing's advance guard.
No word has been received at head
quarters since Pershing's long dis
patch, which resulted in the order for
troop movements, was forwarded to
the war department. This message
was understood today to have made
clear the attitude of the Carranzista
troops SO far encountered. Previous
reports indicated this attitude is one
OF almost open hostility.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, April 10
Sending, $500 more troops into Mexi-
co General Funston today faced the
problem of filling the gaps along the
border. From Brownsville, Eagle
Pass. Fabens and Maria, Texas and
from Fort Apache, Ariz., the addition
al troops are to concentrate at Column
nus and swarm over the line to aid
General Pershing's men. With the
completion of this move, the depart

departments, it is said, and whether
the war department will order them to

other solution lay in the state OF
TEXAS. Possibly anticipating cali

militia for weeks has been engaged in

Situation Appears Grave.

Situation Appears Grave.
[By Carl d. Groat, United Press Staff
Correspondent
WASHINGTON, April 19.-Seeming
lack of Carranzista cooperation in
the Villa hunt, hammered home in Of
fetal reports to the war department,
gave the Mexican situation today an
air of gravity that even the over
whelming Contamination problem
did not entirely submerge.
Secretary of War Baker and Cen
eral Funston, however, intend to meet
all needs of General Pershing fully.
This was indicated by the dispatch
of 1890 more troops into Mexico.
General Peshing has reported that
Mayor Herrera of Parral, warned
against the return Of American troops
into that city. Further, the firing of
Carranzista soldiers at Parral upon
Americans has given the most strik-
ing evidence that they are far from
whole heartedly in aid of the Amer
lean expedition.
Secretary Lansing Is in a position
to negotiate with Mexican An1bassa-
dor Arendo over withdrawal, but
neither side apparently Is in any
great hurry.
Possibly authorities said Carranza
as reported will renew his suggestion
for ending the hunt, but Consul Rodg-
ers' messages have said no new de-
mand will be made until America re-
piled to the first note on the subject.

CURIOUS ORIGIN OF A LAW.
Il Was Passed In England on Account
of Peer Theiiusson's viii.

The Thellusson law. once enacted by
the British government. was law to
regulate the disposition OF property
by will and to prevent the excessive
accumulati ton of estates. 1t had q Gu
rious origin.
On the 9th Of July, 1907, one Peter
Thellusson, an English merchant of
French birth, died in London, leaving
q certain sum to his widow and chill
dren and the remainder Of his property,
then amounting to several hundred
thousand dollars. to trustees to ac-
emulate during the lives of his chill
dren, grandchildren and great grand
children living at the time OF his death
and the survivors of them. The ac-
emulation would have been enormous.
The will was contested. but was he'd
valid. In order, however. to prevent
such disposition of property in the
future. parliament passed what was
called the Thellusson act. or accumula-
tons act. regulating and limiting be-
quests in such way as to make great
accumulationS impossible.
when Peter IlelluSSon last sur
viving grandson died. in 1856. ques
ton arose us to whether the eide'.
male descendant or the male descend
ant Of the eldest son should inherit the
property, and this question was de-
cided on appeal by the house of lords
In June. 1859. The Thellusson will and
the legislation growing out Of 1t were

A small stone statue found near
Vera Cruz, Mexico, which has been in

identified as the oldest known dated
antiquity in America. Its ancient

It was made 100 years before Christ.
which Is the oldest date authenticated
In the new world.
This unique image was found In 19O2
near the gulf of Mexico. 100 miles

the museum through r. E. Ulbricht
the next year. 1t is of hard grayish
green stone. carved into rounded

Belgian Women Almost
q Without Decent Clothing

The Commission for Relief in Bel
gium announces that more than fifty
Governors and Mayors throughout
the country last week issued official
proclamations urging the public to
cooperate with the different State
Committees of the Commission 10 OBJ
tain clothing and shoes for the three
million destitute In Belgium and
Northern France. The concerted ac-
ton is the result Of the many recent
ton of millions Of non-combatants II
terrupted.
The officials in their appeal call
attention to the dire need Of clothing
existing among the women and chill
dren and set aside different days, to
be known as Buy q Yard of Cloth
Days." in order that the merchants
and public may concentrate on sales
of cloth and shoes for those wholly
dependent on the Commission.
Among the Governors who have
issued proclamations are Charles w.
Gates, Vermont; R. L. Williams, Ok
lahoma; F. M. Byrne. South Dakota;
Frank B. Willis, Ohio; w. M. Ferris,

Although the public's response to
the Commissions winter appeal for
100000 in cloth or money to
l4&h fha
suits fell far short of the supply
necessary to clothe the three million
destitute in the war stricken coun-
tries. The Commission announces
that It has purchased and shipped
cloth from which, the Commissions
textile experts estimate. the Belgians
will be able to fashion about 777,85O
garments. This number it is stated
is entirely inadequate to meet the
needs.

efforts to awaken the business men
and women of the country to firm

she knew not when or where she
