England and Wilson.

Does Great Britain own Wilson? That question will not down
and when you weigh the apparent evidence it would seel justifable
III the presumption. There seems ito be little question but what En-
gland swung the power that put the toll on coast-wise shipping in
the Panama, when free coast shipping wal one of the big planks in
the Baltimore convention that Mr.. Wilson was nominated on. On
the other hand England has whistled and Wilson has danced on all
conditions in the present great European struggle, In fact every move
that Wilson has made seems to bear out the superstition that En-
gland has more power in the White House than America. We are
glad OF the fact that the foreign powers realize that Wilson is not the
whole United States, and recognize that if the worst comes to worst
that America will raise up and assert it's II and it is the fear of that
power that is preventing them from proclaiming Wilson their tool.

ing orders from Gen. AIvaro Obregon,
minister OF war. to lead his column
OF $500 infantry and cavalry into Chi
huahua from Colonia Morelos. Sonora.
Three hundred thousand rounds Of
5000 caliber cartridges were exported
TO Aqua Prieta late Monday under per-
mission issued by the United states
government to Eliseo Arredondo. am
bassador in Washington. The cart
ridges had been held here for almost
a month, during which they were con-
stantly guarded by American soldiers.
Since the publication Of Carranza's
note to the United States. requesting
the Withdrawal of the punitive expedi-
tion from Mexico, there has been a re-
newal Of the feeling Of mutual suspi-
cion and unrest i'm Douglas and Aqua

GERS constantly on the alert. Nothing
OF definite nature has developed, how.

San Antonio. Texas, April 14.-Gen.

cen funston and his staff officers
realized that Gen. Pershing, because of
bie own location far to the front, would
have difficulty in getting an account

to the border.

not reached Gen. Funston early today,

This especially true Of the younger
men who left girls behind them in
Gods Country"
For many reasons mails have not
been as frequent as the anxious ones
would like and when il is announced
at headquarters that one OF the hun
dreds Of motor trucks always travel
ing between the camp and the base
at Columbus is bringing letters and
newspapers there is a grand rush for
the little tent back Of the main field
hospital where the chaplain Is mon
arch of all he surveys and the most
popular officer in camp particularly
among those to whom he hands mis-
sives from home or from the aforemen-
toned girls left behind.
When the number OF men with the
expedition is considered, the number
Of pieces of mail handled by the field
pOstOffice would take the latter out
Of the third class post office division
in Jig time. For that reason the posi-
ton Of field postmaster is no sinecure-
IN short II is a mans job and only a
man OF the parsons peculiarly mild
temperament can handle it and make
the trooper or doughboy who has been
forgotten go away from the mail tent
feeling that il II were in the post
masters power he would have had
letter.
Newspapers Are Scarce.
There has been a dearth OF news
papers in camp since the troops left
the border for the reason that the
powers that be determined it to be OF
more Importance that the wagons and
trucks hauled food rather than mental
pabulum in the form of reading mat
ter. For a time that ruling worked a
hardship especially on the correspon-
dents who wanted not only to read
their own stuff but to see how badly
they had been beaten by their contem-
poraries. Everyone got used to going
without newspapers, however, in a few
days and IT would be Of but little JOY
TO the editors Of the daily publica-
lions Of the United States to know
how easy it is for a man, though far
from home. TO get along without the
output Of their costly presses
Now that the motor truck service
has been perfected to a point where
anxiety IN the matter Of transporting
food and other actual necessities is
at an end there is q strong probability
that some Of the hundreds OF sacks
Of newspaper mail which have been
accommodating at Columbus may be
brought through and the boys given
an opportunity to catch up on the news
OF the world IL by that time they have
not lost all interest in what is going
on north OF the international line.
Shortly after the camp was estab-
lished at this point an officer at Co
lumbus began sending by wireless a
brief resume Of the big news Of the
day and this was posted on a bulletin
hoard in front Of the commanding Off
cer's tent For a few days this bulle
tin was eagerly looked forward to by
officers and men but the novelty wore
of till now il is a rare thing TO lind
a crowd in front Of IL.

Gen. Pershing travelled here by auto

lowing over mountains which were all
boulders, in record breaking time.
The fight occurred about Q o'clock
last night several miles in The rear of
the motors carrying Gen. Pershing and
escort. 1t lasted about 20 minutes. The
Americans held their fire until the
bandits thought they had a chance TO
capture one truck. When the bandits
closed in the Americans poured in five
rounds, which ended the fight COM
plctely.
There were two attacks. The first
was slight and directed against the
forward truck The last was a ruEb
against the rear trucks, during which
bullets whacked against the autos and
poured through the brush covered mesa.
The bandits seemed to think cutting
off tho rear truck would be easv. he

were holding their fire. cut loose.
