ATTACK BY MEXICANS
NO LONGER IS FEARED

Information was received in Washing
ton last night that Gen. Pershing's army
Is within 100 miles of the border.
The information later was confirmed
by a State Department official
Army officers say Gen. Pershing
new position shows he has withdrawn 900
miles from the position he held when
his further advance was arrested by Gen.
Carranza's orders
These officers assert, that, as the army
is under the control of the State Depart
ment, the retirement of so large a force
as the American expetitonary force is due
to the reasons Of state and not to fear
of attack.
Officers estimate the Mexican army in
the rear and on the flank of Gen. PERISH
ing at 5000 men. The same exports as
serts that, although Pershings army is
composed of only 5000 men, it is more
than a match for Gen. Trevino's forces.
War Department officials admitted yes
terday that there no longer was any
danger Of an attack on Gen. Pershing
They said his retirement over such a long
lin, Of march would be regarded neces-
sartly by Carranza as a partial &C
quiescence by President Wilson is the
demand that the American troops be
withdrawn from Mexico.

El Paso, Tex, July 2-Another

Capt. Leroy Eltinge, commanding
Troop K, Eighth Cavalry, crossed
south of Fort Hancock today, fifty

Capt. Eltinge was stationed at Fa-

HUGHES PLANS
LENGTHY TOUR
Tentative Program Calls for
Start in August-Will
Reach Pacific Coast.
WILL MAKE SPEECHES IN
TEN OF LEADING CITIES
CBy the sun News Service.)

Nby the sun News Servfce-)
Bridgehampton. N. Y. July 2.-Unless
he changes his plans, Charles e. Hughes
in all probability will inaugurate his cam
paign- for the Presidency in the second
week in August, starting on tour which
will take him to the Pacific Coast. The
present purely tentative arrangements
provide for addresses in about ten leading
cities, probably st. Paul, Portland, Greg.
San Francisco. Los Angeles, Salt Lake
City, Kansas City. st. Louis and Chi
cago, among others.
Mr.. Hughes intends this swing around
the circle to be merely preliminary to one
or more whirlwind tours. He hopes to
avoid rear-platform speaking on the first
long trip. His plan is to speak only In
cities where 1t will be convenient to
spend the night and to hold only one
meeting in a city. always In the largest
and most accessible auditorium, such as
the Coliseum in Chicago and ST. Louis,
and Convention Hall in Kansas City.
This tour, II made according to present
plans, is to be in no sense of the nature
of transforming expedition. The can
didate intends that his addresses shall
be dignified presentations of the issues of
the campaign. Each of the great ques-
tons confronting the American people,
such for instance as the Mexican situa-
ton and the nations attitude toward the
European belligerents, is to be treated at
length, and 1t is probable that different
questions will be considered in different
cities.
