States forces were pursuing what they believed to be new clues regarding Villas whereabouts. His dispatch in dicates that General Fershing was spreading out his advance columns in running down the various clues.
 A change in General Pershing's ad- vance headquarters was also reported, indicating that the commander of the American expedition had left Satevo where his last field base was known to have been established

ARIZONA PLANT
 FUR NITROGEN
Phoenix Citizen Points Out to Government if It Is Going Into FiXation Busi- ness, the Nitrogen and the Energy Are Right Here

Among the projects for prepared ness that are belng considered is a government plant, or several of them, for the fiNation of nitrogen, the draw ing of it from the atmosphere by means of electrical energy Germany was compelled to resort to this method of obtaining it for the man ui1cture of explosive, having been cut off from the worlds deposits of nitrate, The forced experience of Germany has already proved that that is the cheapest and most con Nenient method of obtaining nitrogen so that it will probably be employed by all nations Besides, other means Of securing it will probably be ex- hausted. The greatest nitrate de- posits in the world are in Chile, and it Is estimated that they will be de- ploted within the next seven years Nitrogen is used not only in the man. uiacture of explosives, but for many other purposes, the chief of which is the manufacture of fertilizers.
 Lincoln Fowler of this city has recently offered a suggestion of which more will probably be heard shortly. He proposes that the electrical plant of the Salt River project be offered Co the government for this purpose. He says it can be done at price that will be profitable for the water users of this valley, and that ought at the same time to be cheaper for the government than any other that can be constructed by it. The gov ernment at present has some interest in the plant, which is capable of in definite extension.
 The atmosphere contains 7S pel cent nitrogen and there is as much ot it in the air of Arizona, says Mr Fowler, as there is anywhere. The subject of the fixation of nitrogen was the theme of Senator Ashurst il a recent speech before the senate But at that time the plan of Mir
 Fowler had not been made knowr or he probably would have adverteC to it.

The British Report

LONDON, April 1G.-The statement by the British admiralty on the air raid on Constantinople reads as fol- lows:
 "On Friday evening three of our naval aeroplanes carried ont a. raid on COnstantinople. Bombs were dropped on the Zeitunlik powder fac tory and aeroplane hangars. Another naval aeroplane visited Adrianople and dropped bombs on the railway station All returned safely.
 The flight to Constantinople and back measured 300 miles. Although fine weather prevailed at the start, an adverse condition supervened, with wind, rain and thunder storms" This is the longest flight in the course of the war, the previous record having been held by a French airman, who flew from Nancy to Stuttgart and back, a distance of 240 miles.

Chihuahua City on a special train.

City on a special train.
 q have asked for official confirma- tion."
 Another message to the embassy, | sent by General Obregon, Carranza's war minister, from Mexico City, may throw some light upon the way in which Villa came to his death, should the border reports prove true. It was dated today and read as follows
 "The last report rendered yesterday by General Gutierrez, military com mander at Chihuahua, makes known that the Villista force at Corral de Piedra has been completely defeated in fight which lasted three hours and twenty minutes. The band composed of 250 men, has been dispersed. This band was commanded by J. Arango, Martin Lopez and the so-called General Beltran, who is second in command to Villa. To this band the Villista Gen eraI Reyna, was attached. The pris- oners declared that Villa with eight or ten men fled to the mountains where he is actively pursued by our forces and it is said that he will be captured in a few days"
 Under date of yesterday, General Obregon telegraphed:
 "The forces that were commandec by the bandit Villa and which have now been reduced to one hundred men, have abandoned him and he is fol lowed by only eight bandits. He has been fleeing in the mountains trying to escape our troops, which follow him closely"
 Villas death would put an end to the diplomatic complications with the de factO government over continued pursuit of the bandit by American troops. State department officials, while willing to negotiate for the recall of the troops as General CarranZa sug- gested, have made no secret of the fact that they believed there would be no withdrawal for considerable time. The pursuit would have been kept up vigorously during the negotiations with the hope that the capture or deatf of the bandit would at any time ter minate the whole discussion. | If Villa has been killed, officials ale satisfied that every object sought by the expedition has been attained They feel certain that there will be no raid ing by Mexican bandits across the ! Mexican line. The American cavalry | already have taught a wholesome les son.
 General Obregon forwarded to the embassy today the following dispatch | After the incident at Parral, tn,
 commander of the American force! asked for a conference with the mayo
 of the city, Jose de la Luz Herrera and after it had taken place, the mayo
 has informed me as follows: q visite,
 Corral Nilleas, where the American forces are encamped to the number O
 four hundred, and was very cordial,
 received. The Americans are con
 vinced they made a vital mistake i entering the town without advisinl the authorities. They state they sen a courier from Zaragoza, but he prob
 ably was apprehended by the bandits
 On that account he did not arrive ol

homestead and to foreclose on the
property, but says Miles refused to
