Columbus, N. NJ, May Military
authorities at the base camp here APP
peared to believe last night that
events of Importance in the Mexican
situation are impending. A spirit OF
anticipation seemed to be manifest
over the reservation, although no def
mite reason was offered. Soldiers of
the garrison were being kept close to
the reservation in readiness Tor IL
move warranted by developments.
-Four companies of infantry received
marching orders, and it is believed
they will get under way today. 1t is
known Gen. J. j.. P%eTshing, expedition
airy commander, is being kept closely
In touch with the conferences i'll Ell
Paso and Juarez, and is laying his
plans accordingly.
A long important message from Ell
Paso was transmitted to him over the
army wireless, but no inkling of it's
contents was given out here.
From military headquarters came
the statement that there lave been
no lev developments in the field, and
all operations are at a standstill pend
ing the result of the conferences"
A report that a detachment under
Col. James B. Erwin had engaged
Mexicans was denied.
-Four new aeroplanes were being
prepared Immediately for service.

from Washington that Secretary Ba-
ker had instructed Gen. Scott and
Gen. Funston to make it plain to Gen.
Obregon that an agreement reached at
their conference here must not be
based on any plan for immediate with
drawal was received with gravity in
Juarez.
Gen. Obregon refused to comment,
saying he would await developments
at his mex conference with the Ameri-
cans. This, 1t was expected, will take
place today, altho it is possible that
1t may be delayed until after the reg
ular Tuesday Cabinet meeting at
Washington.
Among other Mexican officials
gloom was openly expressed. 1t was
pointed out hat Gen. Obregon had
come to the border confident that he
could persuade Gems. Scot and Funs-
ton hat the American eXpeditionary
forces should be withdrawn at once.
Secretary Bakers instructions to the
American %conferees were regarded as
completely blocking the hopes of the
Mexican minister of war.
The border patrol has been doubled
and troops are closely watching Mexi-
cans.
Washipgton.-Eliseo Arredondo, the
Mexican ambassador designate, called
on Secretary Lansing to renew his ar
gument in favor of early withdrawal.
He followed closely the line taken by
Gen. Obregon in his exchange of views
with Gems. Scott and Funston. He
was informed that the State Depart
ment would not take up any diplo-
matte discussion on the subject, as
urged by Gen. Carranza, until after

he Battle
Cry Of Peace
"a Call to Arms Against War;

"The Battle Cry of Peace" deals with the subject which is today
nearest the heart of every American citizen-the problem of Ameri-
cas- appropriateness.
1t portrays the defenseless condition of our country; the conse-
quences to which this condition may lead; and the way to avoid these
consequences.
The City of New York is attacked by a powerful foreign foe.
You are an eye witness. You see the enemy approaching, the power
Iessness of the city, the inadequacy of it's forts and defenses You
see the havoc wrought by the enemy's cruisers, it's submarines, its
arships-by its shells, shrapnel, bombs. You see the most beauti-
full skyline in the world in flames; the metropolis of the western hem
isphere devastated.
You see New York fall into the hands of the enemy; and the der-
ecration that follows.
Then you are shown the way that such a calamity can be avoided
the one way You ares shown the way to peace, the peace for which
America so earnestly prays, the peace with honor. The Battle Cry
ct Peace was written by j. Stuart Blackton and Vitagraphed under
his personal supervision ON a scale never before attempted at motion
pictures.

The fire district forms a strip of
territory shaped like the letter J,
with Bourkes forming the end of the
base; Cochran the junction with the
cross bar and Hurst and Iroquois at
either end. The fire broke out at
o'clock on Saturday afternoon and
was reported simultaneously at sew

from Bourkes to Hurst, over a hun

Driven by forty mile wind from
