hot upon mis- trail. Tonight cooe mes

General Luis Herrera, with a garri-
son of two thousand Carranza soldiers,
made an Intellectual attempt to hold
Parral against Villista attack. When
Herrera's men refused to fire upon the
advancing bandits, Herrera, his officers
and a few loyal troops fed to the
noun.ains. The rest Of Herrera's force
joined Villa.
Whether the nine Americans known
To have been in Parral escaped with
Herrera. could not be learned tonight.
Grave fears are felt for their safety.
One report says Villa. upon entering
the town. had issued orders to his men
70 hunt down all Americans and XIII
them.

death, and the town was searched for
Americans supposed by Villa to be III

AMERICAN FLIERS
TO CHANGE TITLE.
Washington Objects to
Corps'S Name as
Unneutral

Washington, Nov. 2.-The famous
American Aviation Corps Of the French
army probably soon will lose its dis
tinctive title as result Of protests TO
the State Department that use of the
name is not compatible with American
neutrality. There will be no formal
exchanges on the subject, but the State
Department will suggest informally to
the French Foreign Office that mention
Of the American" corps in official COM
munques places this country IN an
embarrassing position. There is no
doubt here that this point of view VIII
be appreciated in Paris.
The corps, made up Of large num-
ber of young American avlators, was
recruited and organized as separate
unit BY special permission OF the
French military authorities. It's mem
bers have distinguished themselves
time and again, particularly at Ferdun:
When Kitten Rockwell was killed
recently German newspapers printed
violent attacks upon the United
States, declaring that the presence OF
Americans in the French army was
proof that this country's neutrality
was vanishing. Later, however. the
semi-official Overseas News Agency
announced that the Imperial govern
ment did not consider the volunteer
ing of Americans as breach Of neu-
trality.
The complaints to the State Depart
ment followed a recent reference to
the Americans in an official French
oommunique.
Precedent for action was set early
IN the war, when, at the informal re-
quest Of the Washington government,
Great Britain had the name "Ameri-
can Legion" withdrawn from Cana

Cleverly Made Notes
Duped Bank Tellers,
Say y. S. Agents
HUNDREDS STILL
IN CIRCULATION
Flynn Believes Centre of
Extensive Counterfeit
ing Plot Found

Under arrest at the Greenwich
Street police station is youth Of
nineteen who. according TO Federal Sc
cret Service agents, has admitted pass
ing nearly 1000 counterfeit s. bills
in and around New York City-bills
so cleverly made that they fooled tell
ers Of many big banks. The au;hori-
ties say he also confessed that he had
o part in making the notes. Hundreds
Of the bills are believed to be still in
circulation about the city, being passed
in good faith by persons who believe
them genuine.
The youth is said by the agents to
be Joseph Russell. but he gave his
name at the station as John Kelly, Of
1892 Fulton Street, Brooklyn. He is
called by William J. Flynn, chief OF the
United States Secret Service, one of
the central figures in the most eI-
tensive counterfeiting plot unearthed
in years.
Russell. or Kelly, was taken by Chief
Flynn and his aids yesterday in Brook
lyn, with his father, William Russell,
forty-two years old. a wax engraver.
Their arrest followed the capture in
California, a week ago, Of II. r. Wilken.
who. Chief Flynn declares, has an in
ternational reputation as one OF the
cleverest counterfeiters in the world.
Say He Confessed
Locked up at the Old Slip station. the
elder Russell said he was John Reilly,
of 1900 Fulton street, Brooklyn; but
the Secret Service men say both father
and son admitted their real identity.
Chief Flynn declared both men con-
fessed their part in counterfeiting
conspiracy whose ramifications ex-
tended from coast to coast.
The Eastern headquarters of the
counterfeiting band of which Wilken,
4 is alleged, was the head, are said
&c have been in an art and design
store at $50 West 125th Street, owned
by Wilken. It was there, according
10 Chief Flynn, that Wilken made
PAPER which so closely resembled gov
ernment banknote stock that it fooled
experts.
For more than a year bank and
Treasury officials have been puzzled
by the frequent appearance OF false
So Indian head" notes. New YORK
City and its vicinity seemed to be a
breeding place for the notes. and
some came to the agents from several
of the city's largest banks. which had
heen deceived by their excellence.
Tellers Were Warned
Chief Flynn warned the receiving and
paying teliers of nearly every financial
institution in New York City TO watch
for the spurious Indian head" notes.
but still the bills continued to turn up
in steady stream.
The detectives realized the counter
feits could be made only by most ex-
pert engraver. In the elder Russell
they believe they have that man. He
was for many years an engraver IN the
employ of the American Bank Note
Company. leaving there four years ago.
According to Chief Flynn, Russell has
he helped Wilken prepare the
plates for the counterfeit notes. He
denies, however, that he ever passed
any Of the bills.
The younger captive, however, ae-
cording 10 Chief Flynn, not only ad-
mitted having helped Wilken and his
father make the counterfoits. but also
confessed he had passed between 800
and 1000 Of them.
