Kellaway M F., secretary to Dr. Christopher Addi- son. who next to David Lloyd George, is the most important official in the ministry of munitions. pr. Kellaway says:
 We are not yet at the full flood of our output of guns and shells. If the Germans cannot be driven home otherwise. our army shall have such supply of guns that the limbers shall touch each other in a continuous line from the Somme to the sea"
 He added that 90 new arsenals had been provided and that 40OO controlled firms are producing munitions. ?he to- tai number of intuition workers In 1914, he said was under two millions and there now are three and .-af millions.

Villa Bandits Driven From

PURSUIT IS ACTIVE
De Facto Government Warns Wash ington to Watch Border for Stray ing Parties Which Might Cross
 Over and Make Attacks

Chihuahua City Mex, July 7.-Large Carranza forces, better organized and more completely equipped than any otheT units of the de facto governments troops, are closing in today on the bandits of southern Chihuahua and northern Du- rango intent on wiping them out.
 Jiminez, which the Villa forces cap tured after defeating an inferior force and killing General Igpacio Ramos, has been occupied again by government troops. The bandits are fleeing through the valley of the River Florida.
 Refugees who left Jiminez before the Villa forces were near the city were re- sponsible for the story that Pancho Villa commanded the bandits. Nothing definite regarding his presence has been received here.
 General Trevino today characterized as absurd reports that revolt against the de facto government was in progress, and that Alvaro Obregon. minister of war, would take the field against the ban dits.
 He said only a few of the chiefs who had never concluded negotiations to ac- cept amnesty were included, and added that there would be no reason for Gen eral Obregon to dignify the bandit op- erations by assuming charge of the cam paign against them.
 Military men here explain the delay in getting into touch with the Villistas as being caused by the burning out of bridges, which hampered transportation of troops General Trevino has announced that he realizes the necessity of an ac- tive, systematic campaign that will crush out the bandits in short order.
 Tel nh nip reon and Mexico City has been restored and it is expected that the burned bridges will be quickly restored.
 General Ernesto Garcia reports all quiet in the Parral district. General Trevino is personally Investigating the case of Mrs. Louisa Towns, the American woman who charged she was robbed in Jiminez and threatened with execution. The offenders. he said, would be se- YerelY punished if caught.

ACTIVITY IS CONFIRMED

Flt< Paso, Tex, July 7.-Private re- ports received here confirm the state ment from Chihuahua that the de facto government is making a great eftort to annihilate the bandits of southern Chihuahua and northern Durango. It is stated on reliable authority that Carranza officials believe that the elimination of Vilistas at this time would hasten the withdrawal of Gen. eraf Pershings army from northern Chihuahua.
 To accomplish this result they arc throwing every ounce of effort into the running down of the marauders with superior numbers and better arms and ammunition. They are believed to have a good chance for speedy vic- tory.
 The information received here, how ever is to the effect that the bandits are fighting desperately. Among them are said to be many that took part in the raid at Columbus. who, in re- yenge upon General Carranza, still are seeking to bring on intervention
 Ell Paso representatives of mining camps in southern Chihuahua received reports tonight that the Carranza gar rison of 200 men at santa Hosalia, about 40 miles north of Jiminez, had renounced the de facto Mexican gov ernment and taken the field in sup port of Villa. The reports asserted also that rumors were current in that dis trict following the defeat of Carranza forces at Corralitos and Jiminez that numbers of the peons in the Hidalgo and Jiminez districts were Hooking to the Villa standard Other dispatches received indicated that Villa himself may be directing the bandit operations.
 Andres Garcia. Mexican consul here, said tonight that reports of the Will 1ista movement received at American frontier points have been greatly ex- aggerated in importance. according to Information he has received.

UNITED STATES WARNED

Washington, July Ion instructions from General Carranza, the Mexican em- bassy today advised the state department of the virtual destruction of a de facto government force Wednesday by large Villa band at Carralites, Chihuahua, and suggested that the American border pa trol exercise all possible vigilance to prt vent the outlaws from raiding into the United States.
