ROBIN BACK AS OWN LAWYER
Former Banker Appears in Court After

TO start the clash which Will bring
about a general conflict between the
punitive expeditions forces and the
Carranza army, which has been wlthih
striking distance ever since Pershlng
men crossed the border.
Carranza Artillery Advanced.
One of the matters discussed at the
Gavira conference was the fact that
the Carranza army had moved some
batteries of artillery toward the ad,
vanced American lines. General
Pershing. it is reported, was told that
this was because the punitive expedi %
ton carried artillery, which, the Next
can commander maintained, was not
necessary for the pursuit Of villa.
1t was evident when ! left the border
that General Pershing could expect no
immediate reinforcements in the event
of tho expected attack. The other hall
of the mobile American army is spread
long the three thousand-mile border
attempting to anticipate and check
raids into the United States.
In the event of an attack in force by
the Carranza army the punitive expedi-
tion will have to hold its own, for the
attack will be the signal for a series
of raids in Texas, Arizona and New
Mexico. That the Carranza army may
cut Pershing's line of communication
on the first attack was regarded as
probable by army officers with whom
talked at the Columbus base. They are
confident, though, that the ultimate re-
suit will be the defeat of the Carranza
forces at this point.

MUST OBEY FIRE ORDINANCE
Appellate Division Says Garages Should
Install Oil Separators.

The city ordinance enacted to mini
mize the danger Of explosion and fire
from oil running into sewers from ga
RACES was upheld yesterday by the APP
pellate Division. The ordinance pro-
vides that every garage storing inham-
mable oils and housing more than four
cars must be equipped with a separator.
Frederick II. Stubbe and others
brought a suit to test the validity Of
the ordinance. They obtained an al
tentative writ in the Supreme Court
directing Fire Commissioner Adamson
TO pass on the application Of the plant
IFS for a permit regardless Of whether
they had installed the separator. This
decision was reversed by the Appellate
Division.
The higher court said: "The expen-
diture required for the installation of
an oil separator is not so great, con-
sdering the dangers sought to be avert
ed and the business to be conducted on
the premises, as to Justify the court in
declaring IL oppressive"

Carranza virtually has pledged nm
self TO armed resistance unless the
troops ere withdrawn. while the al
ministration is unwilling TO retreat IN
the face Of the "insolent' note OF the
First Chief.
The only possible escape, II is be-
lieved. lies in the chance that one OF
more Of the Latin-American nations
will offer to mediate. None has yet. sig
nihed its willingness to do so, but, from
their known opposition 70 war between
the United States and Mexico, II IS not
unlikely that some such step Will DC
taken.
Whether the Administration would
receive such an offer is another cues
ton that has not been settled. Car
ranza's attitude toward mediation Is
also III doubt Officials admit that the
burden Of responsibility for a break
would fall heavily on the side that re-
iected an offer Of mediation. and II IS
