SALVATION ARMY ABOLISHES
BREAD LINE IN NEW YORK
Because Men in Line Refused to
Work for Good Wages.

New York. March 1.-THE Saliva
ton Army's famous bread line in
Cooper Square will be abolished, it
was announced today, because the
army has become convinced that the
men who compose it are beggars who
do not wish to work. An officer of
the army accompanied by a civilian
employe of the police department in
charge of the bureau Of the unemploy-
ment, offered work today at wages
ranging from 81 to So a day to men in
bread lines in all parts of the city,
but were unable to find one who would
accept a job. They have applications
from outside the city for more than
800 workers.
Investigation has disclosed that all
the bread lines are composed of Writ
ually the same men who go from one
to the other and spend the intervals
in public libraries. They refuse to
work on the ground that they are
physically unfit for manual labor.
Charity officials are said to be con-
WINGED that no man in New York need
be out of employment If he is willing
and able to work.

cARRANzA CONSUL KILLED
TRYING TO SAVE AMERICANS
Jose Pereya Stepped in Front of Wo-
men as Bandits Rushed In.

Ell Paso March 1S.-Jose Pereya,
Carranza consul at Columbus, who was
killed by the Villa raiders, met death
trying to save the lives of American
women, according to a story told here
today by Mrs. w. L. Ritchie. Mrs.
Ritchie's husband ran a hotel at CO.

her eyes by the Villa raiders.

easy for the murderers to see he was

they dragged Pereyra with them,

tive as to Villas exact whereabouts.
but not even this news was made pub
lie by General Funston. He is con-
sistently adhering to his policy of not
permitting the details of the expedition
to become common knowledge.
Wireless and Courier Communication.
General Pershing continued to hold
his line of communication today. re-
porting at intervals as to his position
and the state Of his troops. His wire
less was used and couriers to the bor-
der brought more detailed information.
The direct wire from the border car
ried the messages to General F'unston's
headquarters. 1t was said today that
General Pershing probably would sup
plement his field lines of communica-
ton with a telephone wire which would
be extended as he proceeded.
Now in DesoIate Country.
Failure of any body of Mexicans to
oppose the Americans and reports that
General Gales was using his men to
fortify the passes which lead the way
from the state of chihuahua into the
state of Sonora served to dispel some
what the feeling common in many
quarters that not all the Carranza
garrisons would cooperate in the
chase of Villa. II was pointed out
however, that the country through
which the troops are now moving is
so desolate and almost uninhabfted
that attack either by Villa or by in
subordinate government troops would
occasion no surprise.
Villas Exact Whereabouts Not Known.
For no reason ascertainabIe there
prevails a belief that an encounter
with Villa is not probable for some
days. His exact whereabouts is not
known. but he is believed by most per-
sons to be in the mountains not far
from the Casas Grandes district, tow
ards which the Americans are moving
and against which the Carranza col
umns are said to be directed from
other directions.

Washington. March 17.-National de-
Iense legislation overshadowed every
other legislative issue today in both

out most sharply from a whole day of

WIRELESS REPORTS RECEIVED
AT WAR DEPARTMENT,
No Confirmation That Snipers Had
Fired on American Troops.

Washington, March 1.-THE main
American expeditionary force in Mex
leo as late as this afternoon had en-
countered none of Villas outlaws. Re-
ports to this effect were received by
the war department in field wireless
messages relayed by telegraph from a
point along the international border.
Officials interpreted the information
as clearly indicating that Villa and
his bandits were fleeing before the
american advance and that it was ex-
tremely doubtful that they would at
tempt to make a stand. The opinion
prevailed among army officers that the
campaign would develop quickly into
guerilla warfare, if any opposition at
all developed. The war department
had no confirmation of border reports
that snipers had fired on the American
troops.

a half. according to export figures as
sembled today n the bureau of for
elgn and domestic commerce
Despite a diminished supply. the
price Of the farm animals has drop
ped considerably within the last few
months, which Is explained by the
statement that only the best horses
left the country, lowering the general
standard and also by the increased
use OF gi.s engines and automobiles
The average price January I. 1916, was
s101.50. compared with S1O3.I5 a year
ago and S1Oa.14 in 1914. The average
prive OF animals supplied to the al
lies was upwards OF $500.
Ordinarily the rate OF increase IN
horses and mules Is about one per
cent. a year. but last year the Europ-
can demand caused the supply TO d.
minish by about $4,000 animals. The
department of agriculture on Janu-
