DEMAND FOR WATER
 GROWS IN SEATTLE

SEATTLE, May 10.-Consumption of water in Seattle hotels has actu- {, ally increased to such an extent since 1prohibition went into effect on Janu- ary 1, that the hotel keepers have pe- toned for reduction in their water rates. A petition signed by nineteen leading hotel keepers was filed with the city council yesterday asking for a 30 pr cent reduction of Water rates. The Mtition sets forth that since the first of January guests are using water for other purposes than bathing. and that the public washrooms have in- creased the use of the H2O until the consumption has become SO great that the hotels should have lower rate. And Seattle water is not very 1sood at that.

 learned that President Wilson had or dered large achievements for the army in Mexico and along the border

 that an agreement between Mexico and the United States. that will be satisfactory to the United States. will
 be at once forthcoming, and that there is no need for larger force of
 United States soldiers in Mexico. He states that the Carranza troops will cooperate with the Americans in ey- cry way to put down outlawry and prevent raiders from crossing the line from Mexico into the States. He is much perturbed over the effect that additional troops will have on the Mexican people. stating that all out break will undoubtedly follow the sending of endorsements to the troops already across the line.

BAR SILVER IS HIGHER
 THAN IN PAST DECADE

NEW YORK, May 1O.-Bar silver is quoted at seventy-one and three Ieighths an ounce. the highest price in almost a decade. A month ago the quotation was sixty and three fourths, early in the year fifty-six and just before the war fifty-two and one-fourth was a fair quotation.
 Withdrawal of gold as a medium of circulation from practically all the markets of the world except this country accounts almost fully for the sensational advance in silver. Incid- ently the Mexican disturbances have served materially to curtail the sup ply. In recent months there has been heavy shipments of silver from this country to England, France and Rus sia, while the demand from China and East India has almost been un- precedented. The United States gov ernment also is in the market for large quantities of the metal

WASHINGTON, D. C.. May l0.- The situation along the Mexican bor- der is still considered critical and in official circles the fear is expressed that nothing short of active interven- tion in the affairs of the Southern re- public will restore peace and put an end to the raids on the towns along
 the border. President Carranza has agreed to the arrangement for the continuing of the United States troops in Mexico,
 and the use of the railroads for the transportation of supplies. He places the blame for the delay in the con. firmation of the agreement on his Secretary of War. General Obregon,
 who is violently opposed to the troops
 remaining southsof the border and it is said, has broken with his chief over this point.
 It is becoming more and more ap-
 parent that CarranZa has but little
 authority over the people, even mem bers of the federal troops showing a decided leaning toward Villa. and a lash between the United States troops and Mexican civilians may be expect ed at any time. Throughout the northern Mexican states the people
 are generally hostile to all Americans
 and take no pains to hide their hos jtility. As consequence it is believed
 to be but a matter of short time before some act Of hostility will make
 it imperative for the United States to intervene and suppress the turbulent
 element which has kept the country
