General Scott, chief of staff of the army
but it was indicated that it does not pro-

of communications, or of the establish

News Travels Mysterous without Visible Means Regarding the
Withdrawal of Troops-Border Wants Soldiers to Re-

FL Paso. Tex, April 24.-Anxiety was
expressed in military circles here to-
day over reports from the interior of
renewed activity on the part of the nu-
merous small bands Of bandits who arc
rowing about northern Chihuahua.
In the mysterious manner In which
news is transmitted in Mexico In re-
gions where there are neither railroads,
telegraph nor telephones. the poems
have heard that the American troops
are to be withdrawn from Mexico. The
halting Of the operations of the expe-
dictionary forces has confirmed their
belief in the truth of the story, which
they have interpreted as a crushing de-
feat Of the "gringoes." AS far as is
known here, none of these bands mum
Der more than Is or 20 men and the
majority of them are much smaller.
Much importance as seen here by Off

CHAMBER PLANS
A FINE BANQUET

A meeting of the committee of the
Chamber of Commerce which is cam
wasting for membership, was held
Monday afternoon and it was found
that over 100 of the citizens of the city
had paid their dues for the year and
had thus obtained a ticket to the ban
quet which is to be held next Monday
night. The idea seems to prevail
among some people that the Chamber
of Commerce of this city is not doing
ANYTHING, but the people who say that
are not members and do not realize
what the chamber is really doing. 1t
has among other things appropriated
for the Central Maine Fair this year
the sum of 5000. Every officer and
member of the chamber works without
nav and every cent that is paid In
goes to help the city in some way.
Some people also seem TO think that
this is simply banquet campaign. IL
is not; it is a campaign to get PAID
members of the organization. The ban
uuet is just side issue, the officers
of the chamber want to have long
list of members so that when anything
comes up the principal citizens of the
CITY will be members of the board
and can be consulted Immediately. 1t
is certainly up to the citizens OF wa
teryilIe who have an interest in its
welfare to pay their little IS and be-
come a member for the coming year
and incidentally have chance to at
tend one of the best banquets that
was ever held in the city of Water

Campaign Suggested
An American who is considered one
of the best authorities in Ell Paso on
Mexico and the Mexicans, expressed
the opinion today that a campaign Of
comparative inactio.i might prove very
effective in the long run.
"If body of troops can be utilized for
the support of mobile detachments, held
merely for the purpose of running down
rumors. Villa will be caught ultimately"
he said. For the time being the bandit
seems to have disappeared. Sooner or
later, though he will come to light again.
The troops may have to run down
thousand false rumors of his where
abouts, but in the end a true one will
come in and they will get the bandit.
Someone of his followers will sell him
for ten-dollar note-just as readily for
that amount as for $4,000"
Troops Need Clothes
One question bothering the military
has been the rehablitating of those
troops whose clothes have been worn to
shreds in their strenuous rides for Villa.

Monday that the ice had left Great pono
and that the first trout of the season had
been caught by Walter Gleason. Tele-
grams went out from the hotels and
camps out there to Boston and New York
parties who have been waiting for the
word, and in one case at least there was
immediate response, for l. men from
Boston will leave that city Thursday aft

These men come every year and are

ponds in this vicinity will probably be
