LATEST FROM MEXICO.

Secretary Lansing yesterday de-
MED the rumor very prevalent of late
that the American expeditionary
force would be withdrawn from Mex
leo. Officials in Washington were
pushing pans to obtain a definite ans
wer from Gen. Carranza in reply to
the request of the United States for
permission to use the Mexican rail-
road lines for making shipments to
Casas Grandes.
One train left Juarez yesterday
with shipments which will presuma-
bly, reach Gen. Pershing, but were
consigned to private merchants in
Casas Grandes.
Villa is believed to be somewhere
south of Satevo making toward Par
raj.
Surprised during their siesta, one
of the groups of Villas force driven
from Guerrero was defeated Satur-
day by a squadron of the Tenth Cav
airy under Colonel w. c. Brown, ac-
cording to information obtained by
General Pershing and forwarded by
him to General Funston.
In this engagement, the second the
AmS'ican troops have had with Viii
las men, the bandits loss was esti-
mated at from 80 to 40 killed. No
mention of American loss was made
in the official report, but a press dis
patch said there were no casualties

The Daughters of the American
Revolution are actively engaged in a
campaign to raise funds<for the re-
lief of the starving BelRian women
and children, as ft yay to cele-
brate the birthday OF The Belgian
King. The Stanford <ch&pter is CO.
operating in every way 6bssible. The
Queen of the Begians Tent per-

Mrs. Story, President& general has
sent copy of it, and . personal tel

These follow:
London, Eng III, 1st so
March 80, 1913, 7:09 p. m.
To the National Societyof the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution,
Mrs. William Cumming Story,
President-G General, New York;
am delighted with yourSidea of COM
memorating April 8th throughout
the United States. Nothing could
touch me more than to see the Kings,
my husbands birthday celebrated by
manifestation of charity through
the distribution of ten million Bel
gian Flags in return for an offering
for the destitute in Belgium. l ex-
press my grateful appreciation to the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton for this attention, which shows
once more the generous and delicate
feelings of American women. To all
who will wear the Belgian Flags on
April 9Th and 9th l send, in the name
of the Belgian mothers, my heartfelt
thanks. (Signed) ELIZABETH.
New York, April 5, 1916
Miss Esther Burch, Stanford, KY,
Let us justify Queen Elizabeth's
message. We must not fail Belgium
now. Only foreign country where
our flag reverenced. Think of their
need. Giving days labor is so little
Your help vital for success.-Daisy
Allen Story.
These kilograms were received by
the Daughters of American Revou-
ton and they urge every one to read
them and to realize the true condition
of the Belgians. April 9Th, being
King Albert's birthday, they want
each person to wear a flag and even
tually pray for these starving women
and babies. 1t is absolutely a per-
sonal matter, but surely the people
of Stanford, who have comfortable
homes could contribute a small
amount and know that they are feed
ing a few destitute persons. Even a
few pennies will buy food and cloth
ing and surely every man, woman
and child could spare that much in
this wonderful country of wealth and
prosperity.
