Troops For 200 Miles East of El
Paso Prepared to Move to
Any Threatened Point
HEADED FOR BORDER
Newly Organized Bands Re-
ported by Carranza Moving
Northward in Chihuahua
El Paso, July S.-A terrific
battle is reported to be raging
south of Jiminez between 500
Villa bandis and 1900 cavaIrymcn
under Gen. Arricta supported by
500 infantrymen.
By Associated Press

San Antonio, Tex, July S.-For
more than 200 miles eastward from
Ell Paso, American troops were being
held in readiness to-day to move to
any point on the border that might
be threatened by the ewly-organized
bandits in Chihuahua.
Early morning reports to General
Funston added nothing, however, to
the rumors of yesterday most impor-
tant of which was. the warming from
the de facto government of Mexico
that bandits, who defeated Carranza' IS
soldiers near Jimenez, we're believed
to be moving northward toward Dim
aga opposite Preside, Texas.
Villa in the Lead?
Colonel CASTOR, commanding the
American forces in the Big Bend dis
trict, was authorized by General
Funston to make such disposition of
his troops as he deemed wise to pre-
vent bandits crossing the river.
Although taking all precautions and
not minimizing the reports that Villa
himself is at the head of the new or
ganization of bandits army officers to-
day were not inclined to believe the
bandits would make any movement in
force towards the North, especially
If led by Villa. The opinion of army
otticers generally was that the ban
dts would confine their activity for a
time in harrassing the Carranza
troops south of Chihuahua.
General Pershing's retirement from
points in this region would leave the
pursuit there to Carranza's army thai
has closed in as General Pershing's
army moved northward

FEW CHANGES IN

CARS ARE LARGER AND
ROOMIER. BRONSON SAYS.

With the exception of such minor
improvements as all automobile man
ufacturers strive to add to present
models, there will be no changes in
the 1917 Overlands, according to w.
f. Bronson of the Bronson & La Cue

spent Tuesday in Seattle with repre-
sentatives of the Willys-Overland
factory.

an eight-cylinder knight motored
car for 1917" Mr.. Bronson said.
"For 1915 the Overland factory led
the world in the production of me-
dunn priced cars, and 1t will con-
tinue this program for 1917 while at
the same time it will enter the high
class field.
I'm 1916 one million cars of all
makes were made, of which the Ford
factory made half, and the Overland
came second with liz per cent of
the total. Statistics indicate that
the estimated production for 1917 is
a million and a half cars and Over
land expects to turn out 16 per cent
of the total.
"The Ford factory, which we also
represent here, has not announced
its estimate and plans for 1917 yet
but it is generally understood that it
will continue as in the past with a
production of so per cent, which will
mean 100000 Fords for the 1917
season.
"The Overland factory announces
a price advance of $40 on its Model
IS, which will be known as Model
75B and Of Sis on Model SO. which
is now Model IS. Both models will
