bandit leader was said to have entire
ly recovered from wounds received at
Columbus, except that he used cane
and walked with SLIGHT limp.
That a force large enough to quell
a body of regular Mexican troops
should have ben able to take the field
may have an important bearing on the
forthcoming diplomatic discussions Of
the whole border situation. 1t seems
certain that the Washington governs
ment will not agree to the complete
withdrawal of its forces in Mexico
while such conditions remain there.
Mr.. Arredondo reiterated his belief
tonight that Villa is dead. He expects
more information concerning the ban
dts from Mexica City tomorrow, and
will communicate it Immediately to
the state department. The ambassa-
dor, said he also expected early in
structions to begin conferences with
Counsellor Polk.

for early withdrawal of American
troops from Mexico on the other"
Additional evidence Of the more
friendly attitude of the Carranza gov
eminent came today in the form Of a
warning communicated by Mr.. Are
dondo to the state department at the
direction of General Carranza in con-
nection with the battle between Villa
and Carranza forces at Corralitos.
Defeat For Carranza.
The message admitted serious de-
feat for the Carranza troops, and asks
that the American forces be cautioned
to exercise unusual vigilance along
the border, particularly in the Big
Bend region in Texas, as there was
reason to believe the bandits were
headed that way to precipitate new
border incident.
The message was promptly forward
ed to General Funston as matter
of information. ...
j Talked With Villa. s..-.
AT the same time, the state depart
ment received a report from an Amer
lean in Mexico that he had seen and
talked with Villa personally in Corral
itos few days before the fight re
ported in the Carranza message. The

ton, especially by what they have
seen in the short time already spent
here in direct contact with soldiers
and officers of the United States
army.
"People call us tin soldiers" said
member of Battery B Of the New
Jersey field artillery, which stopped
here for a few hours, .but what can
you expect when little tin gods have
been managing everybody and every
thing in the national guard?
IF all the money the New Jersey
national guard, and the national
guard regiments of other states for
that matter, had been properly ex-
pended had gone into equipment in
stead Of into gold lace and the things
that go with it, all OF us would be
in much better condition to take the
field. AS it is, third of us are likely
to take to bed a....
War or no war, it is the opinion OF
army officers, war correspondents
fresh from the battlefields of Europe,
even of many nationai guardsmen
themselves, that the national guard
system, face to face with real crisis,
is failing to meet the test.
Patriotism Unquest'oned.
No one questions the patriotism or
the bravery of these militia boys, but
of the thousands Of national guards
Hnen from all parts of the country not
lone regiment, not even a single IN
fantry company, or cavalry troop, or
artillery battery, is properly prepared
to cross the Mexican border and en-
gage an equal number OF Mexican
troops with anything even resembling
fair show.
, There are few militia officers who
are we'll enough versed with the war
game to be fit to be trusted with tl':'
lives of the brave men under their
command and yet there are some OF
them who, incompetent as they are
now showing themselves to be, Will
under the present federalized national
guard system be trusted with the
lives OF far more men than regular
army officers who have been detc;pting
themselves for years in training
themselves and others for warfare;
army officers who, in addition to their
regular duties, are now trying to help
the militia officers out of a militia
muss that is one of the greatest scan
dals in our military history.
The national guard as separate
unit in our military system is doom
ed, or else tens of thousands of BRAY"
boys are doomed in case of war with
Mexico, or with any other nation.

'CARRANzA FORCES .
!. CLOSING ON BANDITS

Chihuahua City, July Large Car
rama forces, better organized and
more completely equipped than any
other units of the de facto govern
ment's troops, today are closing in on
the bandits of southern Chihuahua
and northern Durango, intent on wip'
ing them out.
Giminez, which the Villistas captur.
ed, after defeating an interior force
and killing General Ignacio Ramos.
has been occupied again by govern,
ment troops. The bandits are fleeing
through the valley of the Florida riv-
err. %tl&&Alt N
Refugees who left Giminez before
the Villistas were near the city, were
responsible for the story that Pancho
Villa commanded the bandits. Moth
ing definite regarding his presence
has been received here.
Calls Report Absurd.
General Jacinto Trevino today char
acterized as absurd reports that a re
volt against the de facto government
was in progress, and that Alviro Obre-
gon, minister of war, would take the
field against the bandits. He said only
a few of the chiefs who had never
concluded negotiations to accept am
nesty were concerned, and added that
there would be no reason whatever
for General 'Obregon to dignity the
bandit operations by assuming charge
of the campaign against them.
. .. Bandits In Retreat. .'a.-
".The Villistas already are in retreat
back of the Florida" said the general.
Large Carranzistas forces are now
on the scene of the battle, where Ra-
mos was defeated, and are in COM
plete control of the situation"
Military men here explained the de-
lay in getting into touch with the Viii
listas as being caused by the burning
out of the bridges which hampered
transportation of large bodies Of
troops. General Trevino has announc-
ed thai he realizes fully the necessity
of any active systematic campaign
that will crush out the bandits in
short order.
Telegraphic communication with
Torreon and hence to Mexico City has
been restored and it is expected that
the burned bridges will be quickly
restored. ,.A.-H
General Ernesto Garcia reports all
quiet in the Parral district. g.
r. General Trevino is personally in
vestigating the case of Mrs. Louisa
Towns, the American woman who
charged that she was robbed in Gimi-
neb, and he threatened with execu-
ton the offenders if caught.

U. S. SOLDIERS FIND
ANCIENT INDIAN HOUSE

Field Headquarters, Mexico: BY
carrier to Columbus, N. M, July T.
American soldiers unwillingly became
psychologists today while digging a
trench, by uncovering an Indian house
believed to be 400 or 5000 years old.
The site of this camp is said by auth.
critics to have been the dwelling OF
a prehistoric race, forerunners Of the
Azatecs. The population of the an
cient city, it is believed, consisted OF
several thousand of Indians.
In the house uncovered today were
found some we'll preserved parts oil
the furnishings.

MAKING EFFORTS TO .
ANNIHILATE BANDITS

Ell Paso, July Private reports re-
ceived here confirm the statements
from Chihuahua that the de facto gov
eminent is making great effort to
annihilate the bandits Of southern
Chihuahua and northern Durango. 1t
is stated on reliable authority that
Carranza officials believe that the eli
mination of the Villistas at this time
will help to hasten the withdrawal OF
General Pershing's army at ,Chihua-
hua.
TO accomplish this result they are
throwing every ounce Of endeavor to
run down the maurauders.
They are believed to have good
chance for speedy victory.

UPWARD TENDENCY
 ON COTTON MARKET
Approaching Holiday Sea son Affects Market and
 Trading Was Light

New Orleans, April 17.-While the cot ten market was steady today, showing a tendency to work higher on the strength derived from the spot department, trad ing was light in volume and buyers were not aggressive A holiday feeling pre- vailed, owing to the closing eT ttfe eH' change tomorrow, election day, and Fri day and Saturday, as is customary al the Easter period. Traders generally were inclined to hold their operations dowT to small limits in view of this inac- tivity.
 On the opening call, prices were t. points up, but this was soon succeeded by a loss of to ? points, compared with yesterdays close. This slight easiness le sted only a short time, the marke quickly recovering and going to a net advance on reports of good demand for spots at last weeks quotations. This was more usually source of support be cause spots are above futures At the best of the day prices were 5 to z points up. The close was at net gain of te 4 points.
 The weather map was dry in the west ern belt, which prevented more favorable reports from other sections from having effect.

COTTON PRICES FIRM
 IN LATE TRADING
Trading Interests Buy Oc- tober Crops-Spot Advices
 Generally Bullish

New York, April 1.-The cotton
 market was quiet but showed con-
 tinued steadiness during today's trad
 ing. After selling at 11.97c during the
 morning July contracts advanced to 12.04c and closed at 12c with the gen. eral list closing steady net l point low CT to points higher. generally un. changed to , points above Saturday s final figures.
 Liverpool was relatively easy, but
 the market here opened steady at a
 decline of 1 point on May, while July
 and later deliveries were unchanged
 to ? points higher. Houses with Liv- erpool connections continued to sell new crop deliveries, while there was some scattering liquidation and prices worked off during the middle of the morning with May selling at 11.84c
 and October at 12.14c, or about 1 to 5 points net lower. Trade interests were buyers of october as well as old crop positions, however, while southern spot advices were generally bullish and the
 market firmed up again during the
 afternoon with May selling up to 11.89c and October to 12.22c. or about 4 to 6 points net higher.
 October was relatively firm and the SOSSip was lHdl SOLle OL IHo UuylusS for early new crop delivery was against sales for forward shipment to spinners. The advance, however, seemed to attract some local selling and closing prices showed reactions of 3 or points from the best. There was some scattered commission house buy ing on the advance, but general busi- ness was inactive, and the days fluc- tuatfons reflected the influence of con- parative1y small orders in a narrow market. The daily detailed weather re- ports covering the cotton region were resumed today for the new season, but attracted no particular attention, and about the only crop advices received were complaints based on drouthy con- ditions in the southern part of Texas The buying of May contracts at diff ference of about 15 points under July 1 by trade interests seemed to be one of the steadying factors on the aft ernoon advance, as it is figured the cost of carrying cotton forward would l be considerably more than this figure i and the absorption of May liquidation ! is supposed to have caused some scat 1 tered covering during the past few 1 days.

MATERIAL SETBACK
 IN PRICE OF WHEAT
Submarine Issue Causes Break in Wheat and Ral-
 lies Fail to Hold

1 Chicago April 17.--Increasing tension over the submarine issue did good deal
 today to cause a material setback in
 the price of wheat. Rallies failed to hold, and the market closed unsettled

 decline to 1sa14 advance. and provisions
 unchanged to 121s0f5 cents down.
 | Notwithstanding that renewal of ad- verse crop conditions in the northwest brought about noteworthy upturns in the wheat market after heaviness at the out set. depression later became much more | pronounced than at first, and was not overcome in the final dealings except to a limited extent. As a gauge for the diplomatic outlook wheat traders seemed l to depend chiefly on the acton of the New York stock market. Bearlsh sentl- ment was emphasized, too, by the big 1 visible supply totals for the United States and Canada and by the fact that the nearness of the opening of lake nav l igation appeared likely to give decided advantage to exporters in Canada Lower l quotations at Liverpool and favorable weather in the domestic winter belt crop l counted also against the bulls

Avery's Letter

A dull, narrow but exceedingly strong is about all that can be said for the cot ton market today. Prices registered a few points advance and Liverpool was strong, closing at the top in the future division and spot prices were marked up English points and sales 5000
 A little better tone in the May option,
 especially in New Orleans attracted at- tention, indicating that the liquidation in that option had been about completed
 and the desire to sell it at discount of H bale under spot prices was not so keen since the issuance of the consump- tion figures for March.
 I am in receipt of a letter from Talla- dega county and have talked with a gen tleman from east Alabama this morning, both confirm what I have been hearing daily that farmers are planting every thing in sight If this is general, there is nothing on earth can maintain present
 prices I am in hopes, however, that the state and the cotton belt as a whole will have the good sense to see what an in crease in acreage will mean. While I do not believe that great deal of cotton will result from the increases in acreage and that ultimately higher prices will be
 seen, still, the sentimental effect will
 break prices and keep them down for a
 considerable period. when on the contrary a moderate acreage would have main tained present prices during the summer and advanced them to higher level.
 Any break that comes. farmers will be to blame for. They are deliberately invit- ing it by their present actions. This, too,
 in spite of the warnings given by such men as w. P. G. Harding and others to whom they appealed for help when the
 war came upon them suddenly with the biggest crop on their hands they had ever grown. If they continue this absolute folly, 1t Is to be hoped they wlif have the grace to keep stiff when the results of this folly are seen in lower prices. Have the grace neither to play the baby nor cry wolf because of something they alone are responsible for. c. F. AVERY.
