ter and Overwhelming opposition
But the congressional leaders OF
both parties cannot conceive Of such
q possibility confronting them.
"Unthinkable" is the almost I'M
animous answer both houses are
prepared to give to the demand from
the Carranzista government that
the American troops beat q retreat
from Mexico. Complying with such
a demand before the mission of the
expedition is fulfilled, congress feels
would be ignominious and stamp
this nation as a gutter"
Washington, April 14.-Ameri-
can troops in Mexico have had their
first battle with the natives at the
moment General Carranza is urg-
ing their withdrawal.
On Wednesday night, while Cen
eral Carranza's note was on its
way to Washington, troopers of the
Seventh cavalry, under Major Temp
kins, were fired upon in Parral a
Villa stronghold in western Chihua-
hua, were pursued to the suburbs
while the Carranza garrison took a
doubtful part in the affray, and
were attacked again during the
night.
Secretary Baker informed Presi-
dent Wilson that brief dispatch
to the war department said that,
according TO unofficial reports, one
American cavalryman was killed
and that the troopers used a ma
chine gun against the Mexicans.

That American business in practically
all lines has improved immeasurably
over its status Of a year ago is generally
admitted without regard to political
bias One of the best indications of the
extent of this improvement is found in
the marked increase in capital going
into new channels.
The revival of enterprise in general is
emphasized by the record of new in
corporations in the Eastern States. In

No Fault to Be Found
With Trade Conditions

General satisfaction with existing
trade conditions and the expectation Oi
still greater prosperity are expressed
by the Press of Philadelphia and New
York.
The financial columns of the various
newspapers today are filled with CHEEKY
predictions and reports of growing bust
ness in almost every industry.
The Nep York Times comments as
follows oh one phase of the situation:
Reports have been made public
within the past week or ten days of
factories of divers kinds mail-order
houses, etc, whose operations are
country wide. These show the busi-
ness done and gross and net profits
made in the year 1915. Practically all
Of them report larger gains for the
period than for many years before.
and some larger than ever before In
their history. Without exception,
also. they express confidence in the
future, based on business in sight.
The great Increase in the number of
interpretations since this year began
is another evidence, not only of the
present prosperous conditions, but OF
the awakening of enterprise for the
still greater promise of things to
come. Most hopeful, too, Is the more
general disposition In all lines of
mercantile endeavor to look ahead
and make arrangements for a year
or more in advance. The only draw
back In this direction is the indispo-
sition of mills to contract too far
ahead, in view of the constantly
rising prices of raw materials and
labor costs. As It is. orders are tax
ing the capacity of factories, and
there is no assurance in many cases
that all of what is wanted can be
produced and delivered.
The Neio' York Press has this to re-
port:
The fact earnings Of the Distillers'
Securities Company are increasing
and that the directors will meet on
March IL, has attracted speculative
buyers of the companys stock and
8 per cent bonds. 1t Is asserted
earnings because Of the great de-
mand for alcohol and the increase In

six times the interest charges on
