Have Escaped Trap.

Ell Paso, Texas, March 24.-All re-

have taken over the Mexican railroads
to speed up their man hunt for Pan

operation in the pursuit of Villa their
old leader were over by this new step.
With Carranza's Consent.
Indications that the step was taken
with the consent of the de facto gov
eminent were seen in the report that
Carranza General Bertani with 200
men has left Casas Grandes on mill
tary train from MADEIRA Brigadier
General Pershing took charge of the
Mexico Northwestern from Casas
Grandes to MADEIRA three days ago, it
has become known. His action had
been kept secret.
Escaped Trap, Belief.
IF American infantry were moved
to MADEIRA, as reported, they may now
be south of Villa, although the alb
sence Of any information as to his
whereabouts leads to the belief that
the bandit has escaped the trap. It
was also unofficially reported that the
United States army would begin the
operation of provision trains on the
Mexico Northwestern from Juarez at
once.
Emphasizing the need of speed in
the pursuit of Pancho Villa by Amer
lean forces, Mayor General Funston
virtually confirmed reports that Gen
eral PersEing has taken over the Mex
lean railroad lines to hasten consump-
ton Of his expeditionary campaign.

vows DEATH TO AMERICANS
Villa Stops Train on Juarez Line and
Says Herrera Has Joined
Him.

Ell Paso, March Is. - General Ga
cia Flores, a business man of Chihua-
hua, has arrived here from that city
Flores says that when the train was
nearing Moctezuma about half way be-
tween Chihuahua and Juarez Villa
stopped the train and searched it for
Americans. Flores, who is acquainted
with Villa, says the latter told him he
intended no harm to MeXicans but
would kill every American he met.
Flores says Villa declared Luis Her.
rera favors the Villistas and that Col
Cano soon will be in his ranks.
Villa Joined by Herrera.
"Villa stopped to chat to some
friends of his who were on the train,"
he said. He told them that General
Herrera had joined him three days
since with 1000 men, fully equipped
and armed, who had followed him
from Chihuahua City. He finally left
the train without molesting anyone,
but he took some supplies which he
said he needed badly"

BY THE MEXICAN CONSUL
American Fugitive From Chihuahua
Tells Of Many Desertions From
Carranza Army-CccIares Task
of Catching Villa Almost I'M

Ell Paso, Texas, March 25.--General
Luis Herrera has revolted from Gen
eral Carranza and has declared that he
try of American troops into Mexico, but
is still opposed to Villa, according to
reports from sources believed reli1-
BILE, received here.
The news OF Herrera's disaffection
was considered sufficiently authentic
for General Bell to telegraph General
Funston at San Antonio that he be-
lieved it to be true.
Mexican Consul Denies Report.
General Bell added to his message,
however, the emphatic denial of Her
rera's reported revolt issued here by
Mexican Consul Andreas Garcia, which
was supported by kilograms said to
have been received from General Her
rera himself and General Gutierrez,
Carranza's field chief.
General Herrera has been known as
a personal enemy of Villa. His pres
ent position is said to be that the de
facto government has betrayed Mexi-
can interests in permitting the SOL
diers of the United States to enter
Mexico territory and that this betrayal
outweighed whatever offenses Villa
has committed.
Fugitive Tells Story.
Among arrivals here from Chihua-
hua City was Dr. j. o. H. Newly, an
American physician, who was former
ly chief surgeon to Carranza's army.
DR.. Newly said he was no longer Of
ficially connected with the army, but
that he was transacting some business
between the de facto government and
Washington. He insisted that the re-
ports of Herrera's detection must be
untrue, as lie knew the general we'll
and believed him loyal to General
Carranza.
DR.. Newly said General Gutierrez
had 1000 men scattered between Chi
huahua and Santa Ana, the latter
town about 20 miles south of Nami-
quipa, with which he believed he could
prevent. Villa breaking through to the
south. He said, however, that there
were many assertions from the Car
rama army On account of the low pay
According to the physician, the
American troops have an almost i'm
possible task to catch Villa If the ban
dit chief ever reaches his haunts in
the Sierra Madras mountains, around
Guerrero.

FEARS FOR ARMY IN MEXICO
WAR Department WORRIED BY
REPORTED HERRERA REVOLT.
Rebellion in Carranza's Army Would
Render Position of Pershings
Force PeriIous.

Washington, March "a. - Grave ap-
prehension regarding the outcome of
the American expedition into Mexico
in pursuit OF Villa was evident for the
first time in Washington, after re-
ceipt by the war department Of dis
patch from General Funston, saying
a report had reached him that 1000
Carranza troops at Chihuahua under
General Luis Herrera had revolted
and aligned themselves with the ban
dit chief.
Further RevoIts Feared.
If Herrera and his troops have join
ed Villa, some officials believe other
Carranza commanders and troops may
quickly follow their example.
In such an event, the United States
and de facto government of Mexico
will find themselves confronted with
a situation so serious that it's posi-
bilities hardly could be estimated.
Troops Well Equipped.
The troops under Herrera are de-
scribed here as being probably the
best equipped in Northern Mexico and
they are said to be well supplied with
ammunition.
Rebellion in Carranza's army would
render the position of the American
eXpeditionary force SO perilous that
every available soldier would be rush
ed to reinforce the advancing col
umns. For this purpose, not more than
about $4,000 men would be available
without calling out the national guard.

POSITION REGARDING SUBMARINE
WARFARE AND ARMED SHIP
QUESTION TO BE DEFINED
IN STATEMENT.
FURNISHES GROUND WORK
FOR INTERNATIONAL CODE
Secretary Lansing Returns to Washing
ton Ready to Make Announcements
limited States Will Stand Un-
aIterabIy Upon Principles Laid
DoWn-Studies Problem.

Washington, March 25.-The United
States soon will make, for the lnfor'
nation of the nations Of the world,
complete statement of its position re-
garding the conduct of submarine war;
fare and the arming of merchant ships
for defensive purposes.
It has not been definitely determined
Just what form the announcement Will
take, but it is considered not unlikely
that a circular memorandum may be
addressed to the powers.
To Stand by Present Principles.
Whatever the form of the declara-
ton, prepared after careful consldera-
ton, to all the claims made by both
sets of European belligerents, it will
serve to guide the course of this gov
eminent in future negotiations. The
United States will stand unalterably
upon the principles already laid down.
Coming from the most powerful Of
the neutral nations, at g. time when
all the other great world powers are
at war, the announcement may fur
nish the ground work for new inter-
national law to be developed after the
war which will provide for the use Of
submarines in naval warfare.
Lansing Studies Problems.
The law now does not take into con-
sideration the activities of submarines
or the possibilities of their use.
Secretary Lansing returned to Wash
fngton after spending a fortnight at
Pinehurst, N. C. During his absence
from the capital he has had under
consideration great volume of data
regarding submarines and armed
ships.
He gave careful study to the intri-
cate problems involved, and nearly all
his working hours are understood to
have been devoted to the subject, in
an effort to reach conclusions just and
fair to all concerned.
On Armed Ship Question.
/ It was determined before the secre-
tary left Washington, that the United
States should take some positive stand
on the submarine armed ship ques-
ton, but that no action should be TAX
en- until all tie facts were at hand and
had been carefully studied.
It is considered improbable in Off
cial and diplomatic circles that the an
nouncement will be made before the
political situation in Germany result
ing from the retirement of Admiral
Won Tirpitz has been clarified. It is
not believed the administration would
be willing to issue a statement defin-
ing it's position at a time when such
an action might be used in a political
way by factions in nation with which
it is negotiating.
That definition of defensive arma-
ment will occupy prominent position
in the declaration, whatever it's form,
virtually is certain.
Limitations of defensive armament
may be described, and they will gov
ern merchant ships which enter the
territorial waters of the United States.

HIGH PRICES
GOOD CROPS
And Good Demand for All Farm
Products.

Il is no new experience for settlers
located in a fertile country such as
Western Canada, where lands may be
bought at very reasonable prices, to
harvest a crop that in one season pays
the entire cost of their farm. Undoubt"
eddy this was the experience of many
farmers during 1915, but one instance
may be quoted. A settler who came
to Canada from the United States
some years ago decided to add to his
holdings by buying an adjoining quar-
ter section near his home at Warner,
at $4,000 an acre, with terms spread
over a period of years. He got the
land into a good state of cultivation
and last spring put the whole quarter
section in wheat. When the crop was
threshed be found that it only took
half the wheat on the farm to pay the
whole purchase price Of it; in short
a single years crop paid the cost of
the land, paid all the expenses. Of OPP
Grafton and left him a handsome sur
plus as profit. This settler had some
adjoining land, and his whole. wheat
crop for the season amounted to-
over $4,000 bushels. He is now plan,
ming to obtain some sheep and invest.
his profits in live stock which will as
sure him good living irrespective OF
what the season may happen to be.
Canada's financial position is ex-'
cellent. All speculation has been elm
mated, and trading is done on cash
basis, with restricted credit.
Detailed figures of Canada's trade
for twelve months ending October 81
show how the war is forcing Canadian
trade into new channels. One Of the
most extraordinary changes is in COM
MERGE with the United States. A
couple of years ago Canada imported
from the United States two or three
hundred million dollars worth Of
goods more than she exported. The
balance of trade was all with the
United States. The balance is rapid
~ disappearing, and the present out
look is that by the end Of this year
Canada will have exported to the
United States more than she has i'm
ported.
The figures for the past four years
are Illuminating. They are as fol-
lows:
Exports. Imports.
1912 .......$145,721,650 $412,657 ,022
1913 ........ 179,05o,796 442,341,s4
1914 $4,000. 213,493,406 421,O74,52S
1915 ........ 314,11S,774 346,569, 1924
Four years ago, in 1912, the balance
of trade in favor of the United
States was no less than two hundred
and ysixty-seven millions, and { this
year, the balance is reduced to only
thirty-two millions. The figures are
extraordinary and reflect the changed
and new conditions in Canada. It
looks as if for the first time in nearly
half century this year Canada will
sell more to the United States than
she will buy from the Americans.-
