NATIONAL GUARD
 IS DISAPPOINTING
Arizona and New Mexico Slow in
 Mobilizing for Border Duty Of $500 Expected from Three States, Less Than 5000 Ready

Washington, May 19.-General Funston's realignment of the border patrol is being delayed, war officials said today, by slow mobilization of the Arizona and New Mexico militia and by the disappointing showing in numbers and equipment of some of the guard companies that have re- ported for service.
 Although 1t has been 10 days since President Wilson called out the Tex as, Arizona and New Mexico guards men, their mobilization and assign ment is far from complete. The Texas companies responded promptly, but in the other two states the call has not met with as quick response 9s off cials expected. So many companies in all three states have been found to be below their paper strength that the War Department now expects the to- tai guardsmen provided will net be more than 5000 and probably few hundred less. When the call was issued, it was depended on to add $500 men to the border patrol.
 It is probable the reahgnment will include withdrawal to tne American side of the expeditions under Colonel Sibley and Major Langhorne, which crossed in pursuit of the Big Bend raiders. Their mission is regarded as virtually accomplished. The bandits in that region apparently have been dispersed and the Americans captured at Boquillas have been rescued.
 A Carranza command moving from Saltillo is expected to do much toward relieving the Big Bend situation.
 The State Departments dispatches today from Mexico City indicated that the strike of railway employees that has paralyzed traffic in large section north of the capital might soon be adjusted

NO MORE NOTES ON
 SUBMARINE MATTER
Germany Considers COntrOver- sy Closed, and No Reply is Needed-VOn Igel Case Still Unsettled.

Washington, May 19.-Germany considers the submarine controversy with the United States closed and has determined to make no response to the last American note on the subject Information to this effect is contained in confidential advices received here from Berlin.
 The announcement declared that the United States will rely upon a scrup- ulous execution of the now altered German policy.
 It was indicated at the State De- partment when the note was sent that the United States did not consider a reply necessary and that should there be none the government would con- sider Germany acquiesced.
 With the apparent end of the sub- marine crisis and Germany's aimoni- tion to her citizens in the United States to obey local laws, German off cials feel that the only remaining cause of friction is the case of Wolfe won lgel, former secretary to the re. .called German military attachc. ar rested in New York in connection witt a plot to blow up the Welland canal.
 Count von Bernstorff has asked fol the return of papers taken from vor Igel, but the request so far has beer refused by the State Department.

COTTON STEADY IN
 NEW Y0RK--LOWER
Better Weather Conditions and Realizing by Longs Weakens Market-LOverpOol was Rela- lively Easy.

New York, May 19.-There was more reactionary or bearish talk in the cotton market here today and after selling at 1927 early July con- tracts eased off to 13.15c, closing at 13.17c, with general list closing steady at net loss of 6 to 17 points for the day. Better weather in the South, somewhat conflicting spot advices and tendency to take profits for over the weekend seemed to be the chief fac tor on the decline.
 Liverpool was relatively easy and the market here opened at a decline of l to points. There were a good many buying orders which doubtless reflected the encouraging influence of yesterdays advance and prices stead jed up right after the opening, near months making new highs for the movement, selling about to points net higher, while most of the new crop positions worked point CT two over last nlgnI closing nguftS. u was soon apparent that there was a good deal of cotton for sale, however, and following the Western belt fore cast for fair and warmer, the market eased off under increased offerings. It 1 is said that rain is still needed in parts of South Carolina and Georgia, but otherwise today's weather condi- tions were considered favorable. The official reports showed a decline of 10 points in the spot market at Houston but New Orleans was points higher and private wires reported a good de- mand.

c0y AUTHORIZES sI,ooO FOR PRINTING
,,sues Proclamation for $1,OO0
 for Printing and Binding s5OOO for Purpose Carrying
 m Surveps of Highways.

1ttIe Rock, May 20,-Upon the re-
 aost of State Treasurer Mcdaniel cov Hays issued proclamation au- thorizing an expenditure of $1,O0O for ,rnting and binding necessary for tho administration of the affairs of ,bo office. The last legislature ap- ,ronriated 1900 for the purpose, and ibe governor vetoed the item.
 The governor also came to the re- Tof of the State Highway Commis- son by issuing a proclamation for SOOO for the purpose of carrying on inc work of making preliminary sur VOWS and estimates for improved ,oads. This is the second prociama- top the first having been for $5,000, late in the road building season of al5.
 With this money we have made a wonderful showing since the season f 1916 opened up,' said Commission or Owen in his letter to the Governor. We have made preliminary surveys pppared and furnished plans, speci- fcations and estimates on 1,02l miles of roads for improvement districts. This means fraction under 5 per mile cost for this character of work which is considered by engineers to te very cheap as the ordinary esti- mate is from $15 to $20 per mile.
 "A recent decision of the Supreme Court has made it clear that all en- gneering work done in districts or ganized under the Alexander law must be done by this department. Previous to this decision it was un- dtrstood that it could be done by others For this reason We have ex- hausted the amount contained in your proclamation and tho cemand for this character of work continues"

SIXTH CAVALRY IS
 BACK FROM MEXICO
Sent Fro mPershing's Punitive Expedition to Protect Big Bend District-Sibley Troops Also to Return.

San Antonio, Tex, May 19-By the first of the coming week almost 1000 men will be added to the border patrol in the Big Bend district where ban dits raided Boquillas and Glenn Springs two weeks ago. General Funston has given orders for the Sixth cavalry, commanded by Col. Joseph A. Gaston, that today arrived at Columbus from service with Gen eral Pershing's column, to report lm- mediately at Maria, Tex. From there the regiment will be apportiohed to Sierra Blanca, Alpine and Marathon. Colonel Sibley is expected to reach the border near Boquillas Monday and soon afterward Major Langhornc is expected to arrive with his two troops of the Eighth cavalry, ending the little expedition that followed the raid on Glenn Springs.
 Late tonight General Funston re- ceived a message from Col. Sibley saying the expedition which started from Glenn Springs 10 days ago was coming out of Mexico. Major Lang horne with two troops of cavalry has penetrated to Cerro Blanco, l35 miles from Boquillas.
 Havink rescued the Americans talk en prisoner by the Glenn Springs bandits and scattered the raiders and Ialso because of scarcity of water and forage, Colonel Sibley decided to re- turn. His message said the troops would start back as soon as he could collect scattered attachments of Troop A, which were 15 miles in advance of the main body.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON MARKET
Better Crop Prospects and Hope For Peace Factors in Prices Drouth in Some Sections Con tributes to Advance.

New York, May 19.-While fluc- tuations have been rather irregular. the cotton market has shown g gen erally steady undertone during the past week and old crop months made new high records for the movement. The reactionary impulses which de- veloped on the big advance of the ear Her month remained in evidence at the beginning of the week July con- tracts, which had sold at 1919 on May 10 easod off to 12.85 last Tues day morning, while the new crop de- liveres showed reactions of about $2 per bale from the recent high Ievel as a result of realizing and scatter ing pressure inspired by rather a bet ter view of crop conditions and an idea that the technical position had been weakened by the extent and ac- tivity of the advance. Offerings were we'll absorbed at the decline, how ever, and the market soon firmed up again on increasing confidence in peace probabilities, strength in Liver pool and a renewal of bull support and covering.
 The failure of hedge selling to de velop on the decline probably was a disappointment to some of the sellers for a reaction, but the talk around the ring suggested that the growing hope of peace before the end of an- other season was the chief factor.
 Complaints of continued drouth in sections of South Carolina and Geor- gia and an idea that temperatures had been rather too low probably con- tributed to the advance.
