women soldiers will wear trousers as
part of their uniform if they follow
the example set by the 200 members
of the American womens league for

which Mrs. ]. Hungerford Millbank,
head of the organization, asserted
that the suits worn by the women need
not necessarily he uniform. She OBJ
iected to trousers on the ground that
such a uniform would be opposed by
husbands.
Others denounced dresses as a
curse and burden" to women and ad-
vised the women soldiers to get rid
of them. when your husbands go to
the front" said one speaker, you will
have to guard your home against ma
rauders. 1t will be mans work and
you cannot do it in dresses" The vote

Dynamite Used in Worst
Wilkes-Barre Trolley Riot
.Shscinl 10 the TcLcqrnhh

Wilkes Barre, Pa, April 10. - Ex-
ploson of dynamite caps on rails of
the WillSes-Barre Railway Company
in the East End damaged cars on the
East End and Miners Mills lines and
resulted in the worst rioting this sec
ton has witnessed since the COM
pany's 400 employees went on strike
six months ago.
Scores of persons were slightly in
jured by missiles hurled in the
crowd, and Sergeant Hergert, of the
city detective squad, was rendered un-
conscious and had to go to a hospital
for treatment. Thirty State troopers
aided a squad of city policemen in
the rioters.
The disorder marked the first eff
fort on the part of the traction COM
pany to operate cars over it's East End
line. Crowds continued to gather all
evening, and after midnight the plac-
ing of dynamite on the rails seemed
to be a signal for a general attack on
the police.

BIG BATTLE BEFORE
CUERNAVACA IMMINENT
Advance Guard of Carranza
Forces in Plain Sight of
Zapata Stronghold; Fears
Are Felt For Safety of
Americans and Other For
eigners in ParraI; Censor
ship Over Land Lines Is
Strict

Washington. d. c., April l5.-State
Department dispatches from Ell Paso
to-day refer to unconfirmed reports Of
a second fight with American troops
at Parral.
General Funston to-day telesraphed
the War Department that he had not
heard from General Pershing for
three days. Secretary Baker said that
General Funston was urging General
Pershing to rush report on the Par
raj incident
General Funston's message was
taken TO indicate that the silence of
General Pershing probably was due
TO inability to get information rather
than to interruption of communica-
tion. General Funston has been in
communication with other authorities
in close touch with the advance eNpe-
dition, but had asked General Per-
shing to report oftener II possible to
keep the War Department advised.
Secretary Baker said he still was
waiting for a report on the confer;
ences between General Pershing and
Generals Herrera and Gutierrez.
Battle Is Imminent
E.liseo Arredondo, General Car
ranZa's ambassador here, said to- day
he had no further information of the
fighting at Parral nor of reports of a
later clash and had been advised of
no developments in General Car
rama S proposal for the withdrawal
of American troops.
Dispatches TO the CarranZa embassy
said the arrival of the general and his
party in Mexico City was accompanied
by a popular demonstration.
A battle at CuernaVaca, the Zapata
stronghold, was reported imminent.
The advance guard of the Carranza
forces was said to be in plain sight of
the fortress.
Situation Unchanged
Secretary Lansing considered the
Mexican situation unchanged to-day in
any aspect.
Unless official reports to General
Funston disclose a more grave situa-
ton at Parral. where American troops
were fired upon, than is now believed
to exist, there was nothing TO indicate
that a change might be expected in
the near future
Secretary Baker said General Funs-
ton had not heard from General Per-
shing directly for three days. That
caused no uneaSiness at the War De-
partment, however, as General Per-
shing has reported only when he had
definite and important information to
communicate. Reports from other
commanders in the field gave no new
status to the pursuit of Villa and his
bandits.
AS time passes without official in
formation on the Parral fighting from
American source, officials are in
clined to doubt that the clash was as
serious as described in early Mexican
adVices. 1t was considered unlikely
that the American force was in any
serious plight since the commander
might have sent back messengers to
the nearest supporting column.
Some army officers thought il
probable that when a report was re-
ceived, it would show the detachment
had passed in or around Parral since
the disorder and was proceeding about
its business of pursuing Villa, headed
