100 MOTORS HALT
Pershing Truck Train Stalled in
Mud Below Columbus.
Line of Communication to Ex-
petition Now impossible.
BY F. S. JACOBS.

Ell Paso, Tex, Aug "A train of
100 motor trucks laden with food and
ammunition for General Pershing's
base is stalled in mud about thirty
miles below Columbus and probably
will have to be abandoned.
Cloudbursts have made the line of
communication impossible. The rainy
season is just getting full Roadway. 1t
is feared that, until it ends, the punt
tive expedition will be cut off from its
supply base at Columbus.
Gen. George Bell, jr., learned today
that Col. Francisco Cara. chief of
huahua City, has secretly made a per-
sonal inspection of all troop camps
around Ell Paso.
Spy in United States Camps
Cara, according to General Bells
information, arrived in Juarez Satur-
day. Doffing his uniform, he donned
CIVILIAN clothes. In an automobile he
crossed to the American side and
drove through militia and regular
ficers' row at Fort Bliss. He is said
to have obtained complete details of
the number of American troops here
and their equipment. This Informal
ton he carried back to General
Trevino.
Had Cara been detected in his
work, he would have been arrested
by American military authorities as
a spy. Orders have been issued for
careful scrutiny of all Mexicans
crossing the border henceforth to
forestall a repetition of Garza's visit. >
Bandits to Be Executed.

J., for internient today. That of Rob-
ert L. Wood, customs officer, the ban
dts second victim. was buried at
Fort Bliss.
The three bandits captured by Mex
lean troops Sunday will be sent to
Chihuahua City, where they will be
executed, according to Mexican Consul
Andreas Garcia.

IN A new DECREE
CarranZa Threatens to Seize
Holdings of Foreigners.
Aliens Must Become Natural
lied to Own Property.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Administra-
ton officials are seriously concerned
over the report that General Carranza
is planning to execute a new decree,
declaring that foreign shareholders in
industrial enterprises in Mexico must
surrender ownership of such property
or become Mexican citizens.
The state department, it was said,
has not received official confirmation
of the PRONUNCIATION of the decree, al
though it is understood its object and
general provisions have been com
municated informally to the govern
ment.
As understood in Washington, the
confiscatory decree applies to mines,
railways, oil wells and other property,
which are the basis of the industrial
life and of the wealth of Mexico.
Far Reaching in Effect.
The effect of the decree, it was said,
would be to confiscate foreign inter-
influence of foreigners residing there
and controlling their activities.
Some officials believed the decree
may relate only to future acquisitions
of property by foreigners and would
not affect existing ownership of prop
erty. Even in that event, it was
stated, foreign governments would be
compelled to take steps to protect the
rights of their nationals under existing
treaties.
An official said today:
This appears to mean the adoption
by General Carranza of Japanese pol
icies which prevent free exercise of
rights of ownership of property by
foreigners in Japan. 1t is a particu-
larly unfortunate happening at this
time because of the negotiations in
progress between the United States
nd MaIirn for the settlement of the
Mexican problem
General Funston has forwarded to
the war department General Bells re-
port of the fight with Mexican
bandits at Sanchez ranch which con-
forms to news dispatches of the en-
counter. General Bell said:
| Il wish to call attention to the
cooperation of the Mexican troops"

SEIZE GERMAN MONEY
Dalziel Recommends Way to Retaliate
for Death of Fryatt.
the river.

London, Aug. 2.-Sir Henry Dalziel
has declared that he intends to follow
up his campaign for the confiscation
of all German funds in Great Britain,
in retaliation for the execution of Cap
tain F'ryatt by the Germans. He
would carry on the campaign not only
in parliament, but also throughout the
country, if necessary.
'eIt is the only way of dealing with
the Germans" said Sir Henry. 1--WE
can't stoop to retaliation by shooting
some of our prisoners in return cor the
murder of Captain F'ryatt. The only
way is to seize their money, an enor-
NOUS quantity of which is held in
Great Britain. / believe this course
will commend itself to the whole coun-
try"

GEM SHIPMENTS DROP
Import of Diamonds Decreased Nearly
Three Million in July.

New York, Aug. 2.-Imports of dia-
monds and other precious stones de-
creased largely in July, according to
4 report given out today by Special
f9eplIty Appraiser of the Port Wolfe.
The receipts of the month were worth
s2,397,3s1, against $5,7s6,379 in June,
and $5,O23. 1925 in May.
Imports of gems of all kinds at this
port, including pearls, for the calendar
year to date now amount to $29,Se9,-
097, several million more than in the
same month of 1915.
The July decrease was attributed to
various causes, among them the fact
that Maiden Lane was taking its an
nual inventory, and that the trade was
making a strong effort to digest the
big imports already made this year
and finally, the natural summer dull
ness.

Ice
OF the Natural Kind Can Not
Be Had at All in the City
of Vienna.

VIENNA. Austria. May 1s.-Nat-
ural ice cannot be had in Vienna this
season on account of the unusually
mild winter. Ordinarily huge guam
titles Of ice are cut from the dead
arms of the Danube, Just outside tht
city, but there was none at all this
year and the city is entirely depend
emit upon the supply of artificial ice.
The consumption has risen enor-
mously. largely owing to the needs
of the hospitals, and prices have thus
lar advanced to 40 cents for two hun
bred pounds as compared with So
cents last year. The greatest diff
Guilty is not in manufacture, but in
the delivery, as wagons and horses
are scarce. Most of the regular ice
men also have gone into the army
and their places are being taken by
women who answer well enough as
drivers but they are not strong
enough to lift the blacks of ice out
Of the wagons.

"HOODOO" SHIP
TO BE RAISED
FROM BOTTOM
of the Bay at San Juan, Porto
RIGA and Rebuilt at an
Early Date,

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, May 90
The hull of the Inflated American
schooner Forest City, known among
shipping men along the Atlantic coast
as "hoodoo" ship. is to be raised
from the bottom of the bay here and
rebuilt. The Forest City was burned
here on New Years day, the blaze
being finally extinguished, after burn
ing for twenty-four hours, by the sink
ing Of the hull.
Now tho hull has been purchased at
public auction for SO and after a pre-
liminary survey the purchaser has an
nounced that the hull will be rebuilt
at a cost OF approximately $4,000 and
when completed 1t Is believed that the
schooner will earn back its cost in a
very short time.
The Forest City. disabled by storms
and with more than half Of its crew
OF eleven Ill Of beribcri, was brought
into port on December 10 last, after
having been out seventy-one days from
Calabar. on the west coast Of Africa.
The schooner was in distress when
towed into port, and was leaking bad
ly. some Of its spars were gone and 1t
was thought it would have to unload
all Its cargo here and go into dry
dock before 1t could carry cargo again.
Its cargo Of palm oil. valued at $685.
600 was being unloaded here when II
took fire on New Years day, and was
thought to have been completely de-
stroyed when the remains Of its hull
were sunk in the bay by the coast
guard cutter Itasca.
The fire was not its first bit of ILL
luck. The ship was built at Mill
bridge, Me-. in 1904 and was first
named the Myrtle Tunnel. Before it
had sailed many years the Myrtle
Tunnel had gone fast on Frying Pan
shoals, OF North Carolina, and It was
several months before 1t was pulled
OF. bottom up. and lowed into Savan-
nah to be rebuilt and renamed the
Forest City.
Tho schooner was twice water
logged and during the winter OF 1919
IL was caught in gale OF the New
England coast and battered so badly
that 1t put into Nantucket Sound leak
ing badly. Its sails blown away and
spars broken of. Its captain was sick
and confined to his cabin at the time
and before help could come the schoon-
er was frozen tight in the sound.
Shipping men said the schooner new
er made voyage Of any great. length
without having something happen to It
At the time of the fire Captain II.
B. Allen was its master and he was
making his first trip in that capacity.
It 10 said that the Forest City was the
third ship he had lost. II was owned
by Frankel and Company. and was
registered at Savannah, Ga. The
schooner cost $4,000 to build and had
o cargo; capacity Of 1.5o otons.
