STRONG URGE FOR OPENING ALASKA
 OIL FIELDS

WASHINGTON, March I6.- That permission to open up the Alaska oil fields will have a mark ed effect on the soaring price of gasoline and other crude oil de- rivatives was the main feature of a strong plea for the removal of the present restrictions made by Alaska petroleum interests to the federal trade commission today. According to the statements pre- sented to the trade commission, the Alaska petroleum fields are capable of producing sufficient crude oil, carrying such high percentage of gasoline, that their development will unquestionably result in keeping down the prices later on.

AMERICAN FORCES SUBJECT
 TO SLIGHT ATTACKS

morning state that bandits fired upon the detachment of sixteen soldiers who are engaged in guarding the railroad bridge north of Brownsville but no one was hurt. The Americans re- turned the fire and the Mexicans were force to retire. It is ex- pected here that the movements of the American forces will be closely guarded after the Amer can base is established on the Mexican side. Reports from San Antonio indicates that the first field headquarters of the Ameri- san forces will be established at Iuazman, forty miles from the border. It is probable that the ,orce under General Pershing will operate entirely from this base.

DENOUNCES CARRANZA
 AS TRAITOR

SAN ANTONIO, March I6.- A manifesto signed by Felix Diaz, nephew of the former Mex ican president, in which General Carranza, is denounced as a self seeker and traitor to the Mex ican people was received here to- day and discloses the truth of the frequent reports that Diaz Is de terrnined to use all possible eff forts to unseat the present admin istration of the lower republic
 The copy of the manifesto re ceived here was signed by Diaz in Havana and was intended to enlist the interest of Jesus C.. Tromani of this city in the plans of Diaz to start a new revolution against the Carranza government Tromani was formerly strong supporter of Porifrio Diaz and the younger Diaz evidently thought that he would readily gree to the plans to overthrow the present government and es- tablish a new regime with himself as the head.

BERLIN, March I6.-An an nouncement from the office of the minister of finance this morning states that Admiral Von Iurpitz. formerly commander of the naval forces of the empire, has retired and has been succeeded by Ad miral Capelle
 According to the reports in cir culation the resignation of the famous admiral is the result of the vigorous discussion lately go ing on for more energy in naval matters. Von Turpitz, accord ing to the reports, resolutely op- posed the agitation for a foray of the German navy against the .ntente blockade fleet. Non Tur- pitz is said to have denounced an attempt to leave Kiel as suicidal in view of the overwhelming strength of the British and French feet, now gathered along the North sea in expectation Of such an event.

Waterville, Me-, June 22.-(SpeclaD.
All Waterville assembled for the go
ing away of Company II. according TO
the last approved census Waterville has
a population of about $4,000 so that is
a fair estimate of the number of peo
pie who assembled for the going away
of the Company. In accordance with
the plans already made the departure
was announced by the blowing Of the
militia call on the fire whistle follow
ed few minutes later by two blasts.
Long before that however a large num-
Der of people had begun to assemble
at the Maine Central station and on the
streets leading from the hall as the
time of going had been announced in
the newspapers. 1t was shortly before
$50 that the company got under way
from the Armory, at the head Of the
procession was platoon of police with
City Marshal Robinson a the front. then
the Waterville Military Band and then
Company H with Captain Murray in
command. Through City hall square
to Main street to College avenue to the
station marched the company through
streets lined with flags and with hun
dreds of cheering people on each side
1t was not the cheers that are usually
accorded to a procession or parade but
those Of persons who were proud of
the boys who were going to they knew
not what and with the grim realization
of what war meant as a result of the
conflict on the other side of the water.
The square in front of the station
was packed with automobiles and the
platform itself and far out into the
was filled with people The company
came up and swung over onto the tracks
and then back to the station platform
Here they remained until after the
troop train running as the second sec
ton of Train No. 81 arrived, when they
formed near the end Of the platform
for the farewell address Of the people
of the city. Mayor Boothby was the
first speaker and he talked briefly, saw
ing that he saw the boys who went
to the Spanish war and he was now look
ing upon those who were going to what
would perhaps be greater conflict than
either. He also remarked that he was
in Boston Wednesday and saw the great
demonstration there but for the size of
the city the one in Waterville was far
greater. He then introduced as the
speaker Rev. Frank L. Phalen who serv-
ed in the Spanish American war. Mr.
