The Parral in- cident is case in point. consider this happening the last drop in the bucket and believe that when the American people and the American government- realize it's full significance they will gladly accede to Mexico's request and, in the interest of peace and in line with the traditional friendship which exists between the two countries, will withdraw the troops. No one has ever questioned the honesty of purpose of the United States in limiting the present military movement to a puni- tive nature, but it is hard to convince the population that force of thou sands of men of three branches of the service do not have the semblance oc invaders.

Government Looking for the Men Higher Up' in
 Bomb Outrages

New York April 14.--Clues that will lead to the identity of the men high CT up who furnished the money for the alleged conspiracy to manufacture and distribute bombs to destroy muni- tion ships, for which eight men are under arrest, are expected by the fed eral authorities to be revealed through examination of bank accounts of Dr. Walter T.

STUART ASKS FOR
 INVESTIGATION OF PRICES ON CATTLE
Governor of Virginia Objects to Un- stable Condition of Market-Wants
 Congress to Look Into It

Washington, April 14.A thorough in- vestigation of the packing industry to de- termine the causes of the instability of the cattle market was urged before a House subcommittee today by Governor Stuart of Virginia. who is cattle-raiser.
 Lack of competition among packers and the firm grasp they have obtained on the live stock business by virture of their enormous fortunes he suggested as con- tributing factors.
 Tt is the lack of stability of the mar ket to which I particularly object the governor said. T object to violent attacks or the market without just cause If the time comes when, owing to the state of supply and demand I',must sell my fat cattle at 41a cents, I shall be willing to do so, but when the demand exists want to know why prices should fall off
 !. The hearing was on the Borland reso- .lution to determine If the packers are in trust. The executive indorsed this res- olution but said it was not comprehen- sive enough in it's scope.

The United States will inform Gen eral Carranza to that effect soon, and decide with him the time and manner of the removal of the troops. The an nouncement was taken to mean that inasmuch as the United States fully expected to withdraw the troops when the Villa chase was ended, some for nal arrangement will be made.
 Secretary Lansing said the United States had not agreed to restrict the punitive expedition to the territory it had reached on March 23. and that there evidently was some misunderstanding on General Carranzas part in that respect.
 The United States Is prepared to treat with General Carranza, as proposed in his note of yesterday. for the withdrawal of American troops from Mexico. Pending the outcome of the diplomatic negotia tions however, the status of the expedi- ton will remain unchanged and the pur- suit of Villa continued

This was the situation as officially stated today after President Wilson and bis cabinet had considered the new phases of the Mexican problem, raised by Gen. eral Carranza's communication. Secre- tary Lansing said he was prepared to take up the matter with the de facto government but would not indicate when a reply might be sent. Secretary Baker said no new orders had been sent to General Funston and that none were un- der contemplation
 NO CHANGE IN THE

 Both secretaries said there had been no change in the policy of the admin istration which prompted the pursuit of Villa.
