Ell Paso Tex, July 5.-While the
American militia are being drilled ant
equipped, the Mexican de facto govern.
ment is taking similar steps with vol
unteer troops, according to Mexican re.
ports reaching here today.
These reports indicate that large
commands of volunteers have beer
mobilized at Chihuahua City, Jiminez
Parral, Rosario, Torreon and Durango
City, and are being drilled daily. while
Carranzista recruiting agents in those
districts have never slackened the ac'
tivities begun several weeks ago.
Mexican military authorities offel
similar explanations to these activitie:
to those advanced in the uniteC
States for border mobilization. assert
ing they are merely measures of pre-
caution"
Value in Border Concentration.
With the diplomatic aspect of the
Mexican problem apparently on more
calm basis, it Is apparent that the
United States military authorities are
intended to make the border concen'
tration of as much practical value as
possible to the guardsmen. Army Off
GERS pointed out that the actual fiel'
training they are receiving will be o
vast benefit and that !, in any case tn
mobilization is Of great military value
in that it exposes and offers an oppor'
tunity to rectify mistakes in the ma
tion's secondary line of defense.
Steps were being taken today to mo-
torize ambulance companies and other
transportation equipment of the guard
organizations now stationed at Ell Paso
U. S. Troops Not Withdrawn.
1t was announced that the First
Massachusetts ambulance company
probably would be supplied with motor
ambulances in few days.
A refugee reaching the border today
from the Namiquipa district denied the
reports that all Of the troops Of the
American expeditionary command had
been withdrawn to Colonia Dublan.
He asserted that three regiments Of
cavalry remain at Ell Vale. the southt-
ernmost base, which is approximately
200 miles south of Columbus, n. NJ,
adding. however, that there is evidence
that further northward movement is
contemplated.
Villa Death Rumor Not Verified.
The former Villistas in Ell Paso, who
assured DR.. Atl the Mexican peace con-
ference delegate now, in Washing ton
according to yesterdays dispatches
that Francisco Villa died in the south
ern end Of Chihuahua, based their as
sertion on circumstantial evidence. ac-

| concerning 1t, it Is believed not only in
Iatin-American diplomatic quarters,
but among many officials Of the ad-
ministration, that a way out Of the diff
ficulty will now be found. Altho the
position of the state department here
tofore has been that the American
troops could not be entirely withdrawn
SO long as the Mexican government re-
fused to accept the obligations of re-
storing order, nevertheless, it was
pointed out, the United States has al
ways been willing to withdraw when
ever any assurance could be given of
effective policing of the northern coun-
try by Mexican troops.
Mexicans See Peace Sure.
In Mexican quarters tonight the feel
ing is strong that nothing now stands
in the way of an adjustment along these
lines. provided the United States is act
ing in good faith. It is pointed out that
with the retirement Of General Pershing
toward the border, General Trevino's
troops gradually have taken over the
control of the territory of his wake.
Should he withdraw entirely, it is
claimed at the embassy that Trevino
would have plenty Of troops to protect
all the country south of the border and
prevent any further bandit raids into
American territory.
In other words, it Is declared, Car
rama is now willing to meet President
Wilson half way. Inasmuch as the
president himself has repeatedly indi-
cited of late his determination to ex-
haust every honorable diplomatic means
Of preventing trouble, embassy officials
are OF the opinion that he will not re-
ject the negotiations which Carranza
now proposes.

are being pushed back by the en-
tente allies in the general ham,
mering movement on the western
front. New progress is reported
from Paris and London.
Berlin claims today that the
fighting last night did not result in
serious impairment Of the German
positions.
The total Of prisoners taken by
allies in the western offensive is un-
officially estimated at $4,000 and the
aggregate German losses at not less
than $4,000.
In the Verdun region the Ger

ALPHA ZETA BANQUET.

Tuesday evening, April 25, was
marked by the occurrence OF the
banquet Of the Alpha Zeta Literary
Society, an event which has been an
nual since the reorganization OF the
society in 1894, and which has come
to occupy with the years place OF
increasing prominence in the calen-
dar of College happenings.
At $50 the members and friends
of Alpha Zeta, about one hundred
and fifty in number, assembled in
West parlor Of Ladies Hall, and at
& o'clock, forming procession, were
escorted 10 the College dining room,
which had been tastily decorated for
the occasion. To the strains OF the
Society orchestra, the guests SAT

SUNDAY NIGHT SERVICES.

In Upper Chapel Sunday night the
Rev. C. S. Knight delivered the last
of a very interesting series OF SER
mons. This address was exceedingly
dramatic and to the point. He pre-
scented his thoughts as a defense in
court room. The writers Of the
New Testament were on trial for
perjury, the audience represented
the jury and the preacher, the de-
Tending attorney. He presented his
defense in glowing and convincing
terms. He brought evidence from
every source and enough to per-
suade everyone that the Gospel
writers were not mistaken, but wrote
the true record of Christ as He ap-
peared to them in their daily con-
tact with Him.

were made acquainted with the fact
for the first time that such birds live
in this state.
