.DIAZ NOW in MEXICO,
PRIVATE ADVICES SAY
Chief Men of Nation Said to Be Be-
hind Moyement-Financial
Backing Secured.

The colony Of Mexican exiles here has
received private adyices confirming the
report OF the landing of Felix dag and
his military expedition on the Mexican
Gulf coast near the line that separates
the states Of Fabasco and Gsmpeche.
1t was stated yesterday that the Diaz
movement is more formidable than has
been suspected by any save high gov
ernment officials, and that its supporters
are the chief men of Mexico. The Eu-
ropean representative is said to be Jose
Ives Limantour, who was secretary of
finance in the Poririo Diaz adminIstFa-
ton, and Francisco de La Barra, now in
New York, It Is asserted, Is in charge
Of the Diaz interests IN the United States.
These two men, IT Is declared. are the
instruments through which the sInsws
Of war have been subscribed, and It is
stated here that the financial backing
Of the enterprise Is sufficient to carry it
TO success.
According to Mexicans In Washington
who believe the CaFTanza government is
ephemeral, De La Bsrra, who under
stands American policies and sentiment
thoroughly, having been both Ambassa-
dor to the United States and provisional
president Of Mexico. is the directing
head Of the Diaz venture. It is declared
that he, with Limantour. has brought
to the aid Of the movement the sympa-
thies Of the great families Of Mexico.

But It Is very certain that II Col Dodd
and his men capture the bandit leader.
they will endeayor to learn whether he
has had any outside backing IN his re-
cent campaign of terrorism.
A question arose yesterday as to dis
position to be made Of the two machine
guns and the horses captured from the
villa bandits by Col Dodd's cavalry In
the battle on Wednesday. Under or
binary circumstances this property would
be appropriated by the United States,
The fact that the American forces are
operating in Mexico. however, may give
Carfanza claim to the captured arms
and mounts. s 80
If 1t is shown that the horses captured
were the same that were taken from
Columbus by Villas bandits during their
raid. the American forces may keep the
recovered property without question, 1t
was definitely stated yesterday, how
ever, that nc American machine guns
were taken. 1t Is probable, therefore.
that no claim OF ownership will be es-
tablished.

This does not include only the
classes who do manual labor" said
M Post. TT applies to all classes,
up to the highest. There is an under
supply Of opportunities, not an over
supply Of men. One Of the aims Of
the Department of Labor is to create
conditions in which men can make
their own jobs. Along this line is
the movement to make farmers Of
them and get them to cultivate the
waste ground In cities. The Phila-
delphia Vacant Lots Cultivation As
ISOLATION Is doing q great work In
this line.
Every social organism needs medi-
cine at certain times. When the IN
employment problem Is acute then it
needs medicine badly. Associations
to encourage the cultivation of va
cant lots are { social science what a
preventive medicine is to mankind.
Men out OF w0r'- who might become

IF all the i0bless men in this

There is not an oyersupply

There will be unemployment
as long asa man is afraid of

When a man can lose a. lob

knowing that he can secure Just
as good a Job the next morning,
then the unemployment problem
will be solved This refers not
only to the men who do man

PICKED OUT HIS
OWN SENTENCE
William Bissett Thought That Two
Years in the State Prison Would Be
About Right for Him-Mont-
pelier Court Will Decide.

William Bissett, resident of Bur-
lington, arrested this forenoon by Chief
of Police Connolly of Montpelier for
petty larceny, pleaded with Grand Juror
A. G.. Theriault, who issued the warrant.
to change the charge to burglary so that
he might be sentenced to the states
prison at Windsor for couple of years.
The request was so unusual that the
grand juror decided he, needed the day to
think it over and Bssett was committed
to the Jail for safe keeping.
Bissett appeared at the police station
last evening and requested nights
lodging, being one of the few who have
made such demands this season, and he
was accommodated by the police, being
assigned to a room operated by the city
for just such transients.
This forenoon the landlady, Mrs. Lu-
pien, made a complaint that her lodger
had disappeared, taking with him several
articles of wearing apparel. Bissett was
easily located by Chief Connolly and ap-
peared pleased to have becn caught.
Taken before the grand Juror he ex-
pressed a dislike for the house of correc-
tion and for the Jail, but decided pref
erence for Windsor as an abiding place.
At first he was of the opinion that a
year in prison would suffice but later
said that he would not be adverse to
two years, drawing the line at that
mark. He will probably be arraigned
to morrow before Acting Judge Moody
on charge of petty larceny.

There were no casualties, The town had
only few minutes warning of the APP
proach OF the aircraft. Most of the in.
habitants rushed into the street, where
they had an excellent view OF fight in
the air between the raiders and an Eng
lsh air squadron which rose in pursuit,
With the aid of a telescope it was pos.
sible to distinguish great number of
machines, twisting and turning in every
direction in their manmuvres TO get
quickly to the required altitude to COM
bat the invaders.
As this strange Sunday afternoon en-
tertanment proceeded, the people, re.
gardless OF danger, flocked to street cor
ners, open places and TO the water front
One Of the machines in the air suddenly
turned toward Deal and flew across the
town, its passage being marked by the
explosion of number of bombs The
first three bombs fell at virtually the
same moment, whereupon half the crowd
in the open places fed TO shelter. Later
three other bombs fell.

VILLA DOUBLES
EAST AND SOUTH
AS NET CLOSES
Carranza Troops Are Advancing from
the South and American Forces
Very Rapidly from the
Northward.

FL Paso. Tex, March 20.-Villa has
doubled east and south of Namiquipa,
according to telegram received by Cen
eral Gavira at Juarez to-day. He reports
that Carranza troops are advancing from
the south while Americans are continu-
ing their march from the north in their
effort to close the net about the bandit.
The problem of granting the United
States permission to use the Mexican
railways to transport supplies to the
American troops pursuing Villa over
shadowed everything else in the Mexican
situation day. The reply of Carranza
is expected to go to Washington to-day
Refusal will embarrass the operations of
the American troops, while the granting
of the request it was declared, would be
seriously misconstrued by a portion of
the Mexican people and would be exploit
ed by the enemies of Carranza.
The Unexpectedly rapid advance of the
expeditionary forces under Pershing has
forced the railroad question to an issue.
Dr. l. J. Bush, formerly chief surgeon of
the Madero army, asserted to-day that
speed transportation facilities is essen
tial to the further progress of the Ameri-
cans. Bush said that no doubt Villa is
spreading stories of wonderful victories
over the Americans. of how he had cap
tured Texas and that Carranza had gone
over to the United States. 1t would be
easy. he said, for Villa TO make the ig
norant poems. among whom he is operat-
ing, believe the widest stories.

NO NEW LOANS FOR ALLIES.
According to Information Given By ]. P.
Morgan.

New York, March 20.-J. P. Morgan,
head of the banking house of j. p. Nor.
gan & Co., who arrived here yesterday
from Liverpool ON the steamship Phila-
de lphia, reiterated the denial recently
issued from this Office here that new
credit against American securities for
the entente allies, said to have been
modified in London had been arranged
by him.
He asserted that he knew of no new
loan to the allies being contemplated
now and asserted that the resources ere
ated by the last loan were not exhausted,
supporting his assertion of reference to
the steadiness of the exchange market.
As to the reported mobilizing in London
of American securities held in Great Brit
ain and France. Mr.. Morgan said:
II understand they expect to handle
these securities as they have been doing
in the past and they will be taken care
of in a way that will not hurt the mar
ket."
Tie fnancier refused to discuss his
mission abroad or in what transactions
he had been engaged. He declined also
to talk of a second appearance as a wit
ness before the Thompson legislative
committee to testify regarding the af

VIOLENT ARTILLERY
FIRE AT MALANCOURT
There Is Renewed Activity
on the Saloniki Front, the
French Column Having
Advanced Beyond the En-
trenched Camp and Occu-
pied Some Villages

The fighting about Verdun has again
slaekened, according to to-day's Paris
statement, the only infantry attack re-
ported being an unsuccessful one by the
Germans on French position on Pepper
hill north of the fortress. Artillery ae-
tivity has been intermittent, reaching
considerable violence, however, in the vi
cinity of Malancourt on the west bank
of the Meuse.
There is renewed activity in the Bal
kans, north of Saloniki, the French col
umn advanced from an entrenched camp
and occupied villages near the Greek bor-
der which the Teutonic and Bulgarian
forces had entered, according to news
agency dispatches from Saloniki. The
neutral frontier zone has been elimi-
mated, it appears, and the forces OF the
entente and central powers are face to
face along that part of the front.
A war conference of probable momentous
Importance is about to open in France
where military and political representa-
tives of the entente allies are gathering.
The joint policies to be pursued by the
entente in the next period of the war
will be decided upon by the conference,
which will be presided over by Premier
BRAND of France.
