same party of Indians that had passed
through Fl Paso last night for Co

ROckaway Beach.
PLANS EXPENDITURES
OF HUNDRED MILLION
Mobile HoWitzers and 14-Inch
Rifles on Railroad Cars
Are Features.

Washington, April e.-The third
great element of the national prepar-
edness programme was to-day brought
into the House. II is the largest for
tification bill ever reported, and the
first Of four annual measures under
which IL is proposed 70 spend approx
matcly Sl00.0O0.00O for increasing and
undermining the coast defenses, al
ready officially declared to be superior
70 any in the world, and 10 supply an
ample store OF reserve ammunition for
the guns
Included in the bill are provisions
FOR mounting 16-inch direct fire rifles
TO guard New York, Boston, San Fran
cisco and other great cities from long
range naval bombardment. Provision
IS also made for mounting 12-inch RI
ics now IN reserve so they viii have
d range Of more than 10000 yards. or
fifteen sea-miles. No ship could live
within that distance of the guns.
The plan will add l6-inch mortar
batteries TO the present 12-inch en-
placements. because of the increased
Grmor protection Of modern battle
ships. In addition it provides for IS
inch mobile howitzers and l4-inch
guns on railroad cars TO defend points
not protected by established forts.
/ SiXteen-inch guns and sixteen-Inch
mortaTs viii be established at Rock
away Beach.
In approving the bill the committee
accepted almost without alteration the
proposals Of the War Department and
| the officers who have studied the sub
/ ject Of coast defence for years.
/ The bill carries appropriations OF
/ 23,305,l23 and additional authorize
/ tons to reach n total Of S34, 299,050
IT is the first Of the bills mapped out
by former Secretary Garrison 70 cover
four-vear programme Of expendi-
/ ture totalling SS2.064, 557 on the con-
tinental coast defences and reserve
material. The Panama Canal defences
will add S13.995,000 to the project,
making a grand total Of 1853 ,657.
The committee cut down the 1917
estimates Sl.3!s.07s. As the bill stands,
it represents an increased expenditure
over last year of Sl6.936S33. Outlin-
/ '"b NNN HiNJ'Nto AbliNN'Af VIC ItpNl
says:
"The total additional armament FOR
continental United States included
comprises twenty-five 1G-inch guns
twenty-four l2-inch guns mounted for
+ long-range fire. twenty-three 6-inch
and four S-inch guns. and forty-eight
16-inch mortars; for the insular pos
sessions eight l2-inch guns mounted
/ for long-range fire; and for the Pana-
ma Canal four 16-inch guns four IL
inch guns mounted for long-range fire,
and twelve 16-inch mortars.
"In addition to the above the projects
of the board include 49, 3-inch anti
aircraft guns for the seacoast defences
of continental United States, seventeen
3-inch anti-aircraft guns for the in
sular possessions and eight 3-inch anti.
aircraft guns for the Panama Canal
THE board also recommends the con.
struction of six 16-inch movable how.
tiers and an experimental 14-inch
gun on railroad car mount for defence
against hostile landings in unfortihed

call Is Imperative.
CARRANZISTAS DENY
CREDIT TOU. S. TROOPS
Take for Themselves Glory OF
All Defeats of Bands of
ViIlistas.
from star Correspondent Of Tn. Tribune ]


FL Paso, Tex, April with the
CarranZa government assuming the
stand that the American punitive ex-
petition must return 10 the United
States If friction with Mexico is TO be
avoided, Secretary Lansing's declara
tion that Washington was not consid-
ering withdrawal Of the forces was re-
ceivcd with relief az the border.
Mexican officials in Juarez made II
plain to-day that the presence OF
American troops on Mexican coil no
longer was regarded with equ"nimity,
following the receipt of official dis
patches from Queretaro.
On the other hand. the statement Of
Secretary Lansing is taken here 70
mean that the United States proposes
promptly forcing the railroad ..roblem
10 an issue with General Car-anza.
Regard Expedition as Failure.
From the standpoint OF the Carran-
vista government, the American punt
tive expedition into Mexico has Been a
failure. and there is no longer any rea-
son for American soldiers remaining in
Mexican territory This IS diplomat
cally indicated to-day in dispatches
from General Aware Obregon, 'iinister
Of War for the Carranza government,
10 the American Consul, Andres Garcia.
General Obregon said in his dispatch
that Villa has been completely crushed
by attacks made upon his bands by
Constitutionalis soldiers, and that il
appears the punitive expedition into
Mexico has completed all that i can do
toward elimination of Villa. General
Gutierrez, chief of the Constitutional
forces in Chihuahua State, has assured
me that it will not be long before villa
is captured" the dispatch from Obre-
gon concludes.
Carranzistas are not giving the
American troops any credit for The
pursuit Of Villa or the routing Of his
bands. All official dispatches state al
WAYS that il is the CarranZa troops
that have engaged and have scattered
the bandits, and in none o. the dis
patches has reference been made Of III .
severe losses inflicted upon the bandits
by American troops, but instead it has
been emphasized that Colonel Cano, o.
General Bertani, or General Cavazos,
or some other Carranza commander,
has attacked and routed them at some
point remote from where Americans
fought the bandits.
