cd that several of Villas band were
mounted on American cavalry horses

report from Gen. Pershing which sur
rounded the information from Next

authenticity. Pershing announced that
he had received definite information
of Villas whereabouts and would
make an effort to surround him. The
location was not given.
No orders have been sent to Gen.

This II taken to indicate that Gen.

A report from Torreon which was

been forced to evacuate the town.

Gen. Scott Is authorized to exchange

1t is expected President Wilson will
issue formal statement regarding the
agreement as soon as word comes that
Gen. Carranza has approved 1t. 1t Is
known that in substance 1t provides
for an active campaign by Carranza

regions In which they continue to act,
The limitations Of the expedition
under the agreement have not been
disclosed. II is understood, however,
that 1t will hold the present lines for

Of finance recently declared that Rus

''Russia's finances rest upon the
most solid foundation in the world"
said Mr.. Bark. THE economic pros
perity Of the Russian people is now
greater than was ever conceived pos.
sible before the beginning Of the war.
There Ia nothing illusory or specious
about Russia's prosperity. 1t rests
upon the incontrovertible fact Of the
Russian peoples increased earnings
and savings. When year ago the
savings banks showed monthly In.
crease In deposits Of 5o.00O,O00 rubles.
It was regarded as phenomenal. But
that was only the beginning" Saw
ings deposits have. increased over
1000 per cent under prohibition. This
greatly changed condition OF Russian

accounted for principally by the grow.
