 An automobile record between Denver
 and El Paso, a run of 800 miles, was made
 by Lieut.. A. M. Graham of the Eleventh
 cavalry, in answering the call to be with
 his regiment in Columbus by Thursday
 He was on the road 55 hours with seven
 hours sleep. He made the run alone. The correspondents who have gone into
 Mexico with the expedition remained sil- ent today on account of the censorship
 It was said that most of them were un- der polite corral, along toward the rear, with the infantry. While this could not be verified, it was fact that the only members of the correspondents party whose presence has been definitely re- ported were far behind the vanguard at last reports. If any newspaper observers are among the leading columns the censor has succeeded in hiding their movements
 much more effectively than he has cloaked the position of the troops
 Deming, N. M., was today included in the Columbus censorship area Hereto fore many correspondents whose dis patches were censored in Columbus have taken an hours run. to Deming evading the censor. The price of this run jumped from $ to $15 on account of the patronage.

THEY LOVE PEACE

cuted is the prayer of all patriotic Mex
 ican citizens-that this irritating bandit
 may be eliminated before any untoward
 event may occur further to embroil. It
 is really incongruous that he, bandit throughout all his life should be able
 to involve two sovereign nations as he
 had succeeded in doing.'
 The majority of Mexicans in the United States are on the border. In New York there are 5000; in Fl Paso, SO,ooo; in San
 Antonio, 50,000; in San Francisco, 50000, and in Los Angeles, 55, 900.
 In the consideration of these problems,
 the government attitude on the surface is one of "watchful waiting Under meath, however, there is no doubt but that the administration is preparing for that emergency which it 1t prayerfully hoping will be obviated.
 The strict censorship which has been
 established at the front. is in operation
 in Washington. and there is no question
 but that for many days America as a
 nation will be lily informed of what has transpired or is transpiring-either across the border, or in the capital.
 Congress, with the President, hopes against hope that Villa will soon fall a prey either to the American forces. the Carranzistas, or treachery But save
 only. in official circles, no man Is at. tempting to beguile his neighbor with statements that the invasion is other than serious. The consensus of opinion. as a l matter of fact, Is that this government is in Mexico for many days to come. ano l that unless the price on Villas head in- l vites treachery on the part of his own men, the bandit will long be lodging from l the crags to the arroyes of his native heath.

FORMAL REPORT ON RED CROSS SEALS Dr. Eaves Shows That Total of $641O.02 Was Amount
 Collected

pr. George Eaves secretary of the Anti Tuberculosis association, yesterday made
 report on the sale of Red Cross Christ
 mas seals, the total received being s641O.o2
 Some of the main features of his report are as follows:
 The report on the sale of Red Cross seals at the end of last year is still in- complete because very many of those to whom seals were sent have even yet failed to return or pay for them So | far as returns have been made, the Ant!A Tuberculosis association has the joy of reporting an unprecedented success in this line of work
 Tt should be stated that though the seals sale was so eminently successful, l it does not nearly supply the associations s need for the current year. but leaves upon the executive committee the enor- nous task of realizing s7ooo to bring it through to next Christmas. Every inch of space in the sanatorium is certain to be at a premium and only refusal of ser vice will enable the association to avoid financial disaster. This constitutes the strongest appeal to those who have not paid their membership dues and to those who have not settled for the seals they received.

 ONE HEALTHY ASPECT
 The attitude of the National Guard has been source of wonderful inspiration. From every state of the union word has como that the President has only to indicate desire for the service ef this auxiliary. The guard, Y, ~ -words, has given proof of the fact that its rec Ognition by the House committee on mill ttary affairs-which would have the gov ernment pay these soldiers just wage was not misplaced.
 And, as indication of the inherent pa triotism of the American citizens, the var department has been flooded with letters and telegrams from people in all of the states desirous of rushing to the aid of the country-even in the present emergency-and insisting that they be en- listed as volunteers if the situation should become aggravated. The administration feels, as result, that if it should be necessary, an army of 100000 patriots, q certain percentage of which would be trained quickly, could be put into the field.
 It is stated by members of the war col Iege that the administrators deterInirr- ton to refrain from calling on the Ma f.onal Guard or the volunteer contingn-' e'- is due to fear that by such action, Mex leo might be impressed with an idea that this nation is insincere in it's present policy of punitive invasion. It is con nidered certain that if the government ohculd present it's emergency strength, all Mexico would seethe with the i-le-- ont animosity which at present is in restraint.
 THE VISITING MEXICANS
 Another problem only secondary 10 that of the unpreparedness of the army Is presented in the rather questionable at- titude of native Mexicans residing in American cities It is known that a,r7-'5 Of the government have been investi- rating in a very quiet manner in an effort to ascertain what course these im- migrants--in the main, people of ~~r-'t-- would pursue should it become necessary for the United States to declare war against Mexico.
 Oscar L. Welsh, native of Monterey, and. despite his name. practically a full blooded Mexican, at the New Willard last right, threw some light on the situation In conversation with a dozen news paper correspondents, he said:
 ''The 500,000 Mexicans now living in the Omitted States for the most part were driven out of Mexico by the upheava

dating back to the Diaz revolution. They represent the better class of Mexicans, the peace loving element. While unafraid, they could not participate in the brigand style of warfare which has characterize ed Mexican dissension for the past several years What will be their attitude dur ing the invasion?
 Naturally, they are looking with grave apprehension on the recent developments. They fear that the so-ca!led punitive in- vasion will be transformed ultimately into intervention. It is my opinion that in the event or war between the United States and their country, they would re- turn-though not happy-and fight for their flag.
 ''They want peace. For them as for the great majority of American people, nothing could have been more unfortu- nate than the crossing of the border by Villa and his bandits, necessitating the pursuit into Mexico by American soldiers. Villa does not represent Mexico. He does not represent even the middle class of Mexicans It is doubly unfortunate, there fore, that he should be the means of precipitating the present extremely deli cate situation.

made herself, starting with 100000
600 left by her parents. No one ever
questioned that Mrs. Green was the
worlds greatest woman f1nancier.
From the moment Hetty Robinson
got $25 savings account until the
moment of her death, the accumula-
ton Of money was the ruling passion
Of her life.
Until Hetty Robinson was nearly
thirty, she devoted her time to society
and money making. Then Edward
Green, for twenty years, United States
consul at Manila and interested IL
big silk importing house, in which he
had made several millions of his own,
publicly announced at New York
dinner that he proposed to marry the
wealthiest heiress in Aemrica.
Hetty Robinson, he was told, was
that person. Green obtained an intro
duction and made good his brag. They
were married July 7, 1857.
It was rather coid-blooded propo-
sition, however.
Miss Robinson agreed to marrv
Green only after he signed contract
pledging himself never to touch a
penny of her fortune.
The Greens had two children, Sylvia
and Edward Howland Robinson Green.
It was the boy Eddie as his moth
er always has called him, despite his
$50 burly pounds Of huskiness, that
found the soft spot in Hetty Green's
heart. Eddie was the only human
being to whom Hetty Green never
openly begrudged money.
Shortly before her marriage to
Green, Hetty Robinson inherited the
SIC, O,O0O, 900 from her parents. Just
about that time Sylvia Rowland, an
aunt, also died. Sylvia, Hetty al
ways understood, was going to leave
her estate of S2,500, 900, but the will
showed half of it left to charity and
the income from the other half left
to Hetty.
A month later after learning this,
Hetty Robinson came forward with
what she said was later will, leav,
ing her the whole fortune. In the
sensational legal battle that ragged up
and down the Robinson and Rowland
line after that, Hetty was charged
with serious offenses, one of them be
ing forgery. Hetty fought like a tigress

fact that General Pershing's line has

The war department explained the
shortening of General Pershing's line
as based on thoroughly good strategic
