RUSHING RE-ENFORCEMENTS

General Funston Receives Code Mes
 sage From General Pershing Saying
 That He Is Now With Colonel Dodd's
 Column - Mormons Regard Coming
 That General Pershing is close on Villas heels is indicated by his order calling for aeroplanes. Captain Fou- lois and seven planes left Columbus for Casas Grandes and barring acci- dent, they should soon reach their destination.
 General Funston received a code message by wireless from General Pershing at Casas Grandes saying that he was now with Colonel Dodd's col umn. The main column is believed to be proceeding under command of Colo mel Slocum.
 In his report to General Funston General Pershing says he has sent out scouting parties south and southeast of Casas Grandes in pursuit of Villa, whose exact whereabouts are as yet unknown. The commander of the ex- petition adds that the Carranza troops ali along the line are friendly, but in- active.
 The Mormons in the vicinity of Casas Grandes regard the coming of the American troops as providential, the report continues. They are now certain of protection.
 Seven additional troops of cavalry and battalion of the Fourth field ar tilery reached Casas Grandes.
 That automobiles are almost worth less in the Villa chase was an opinion expressed by General Funston.
 Colonel Sibley, commanding the Fourteenth cavalry at Presidio, Tex, reported that he had a conference with General Rojas at Ojinaga and that he was assured that Carranza troops were loyal and would cooperate with the Americans as far as possible.
 Gall For Supplies.
 General Pershing is urgent in his re- quest for more supplies and repeats the request that the Mexico Northwest ,ern railroad be used If possible, so that 'El Paso can be made the supply base and Casas Grandes the field base.
 General Funston has received no news from the state department re- sgarding the negotiations with Carranza for the shipment of supplies by rail- For the present it is believed that the -Mormons are honoring Pershings acquisitions for forage and beeves.
 General Pershing's report officially places Villas losses in the attack on Columbus at POO men.
 With all indications pointing to long campaign in the pursuit of Villa far into Mexico, the problem of supply ing the American expedition was up permost in the minds of army men here.
 In view of the favors President Will son granted Carranza to aid Tn the de- feat of Villa at Agua Prieta and else where in northern Mexico, permission to send supplies and perhaps re-en- ;forcements to Pershing was expected from the de facto government. The Washington administration once per mitted 500 Carranzista troops to travel in bond across American territory from E Paso, Tex, to Douglas, Ariz., to op- pose Villa in his Sonora campaign.
 That the chase after Villa would carry Pershing's forces into the very heart of Mexico was indicated by re- newed reports of Villa heading for Du- rango state. The outlaw was born in the Sierra Madres of Durango and knows the mountains there as no other Mexican does.

BIG CIRCUS PARADE
ALL NEW THIS YEAR

| A procession costing a million dol
( lars will be seen on the streets of Rock
/ Island on Aug. 3. This IS the amount
/ of money that the mana cement of the
| BaTnum q Bailey circus claim TO have
/ expended this year on their wonder
| ful new parade, which is declared to
! be entirely different from any circus
procession of previous years.
Some idea of the magnitude of this
wonderful cavalcade may be had from
| the fact that it stretches out exactly
three miles in length and includes
more than one hundred animal cages,
/ floats, tableau wagons and categorical
| cars. all of the newest and most elab-
crate design, and entirely different
/ from anything used heretofore. More
than thirteen hundred persons take
part in the procession, as well as 700
horses, Al elephants, and all of the
menagerie animals displayed in open
dens.
The floats and tabIeau wagons are
filled with pretty dancing girls in gay
cOstums. representing different nation
alities Of the world and the parade
stretches out like great, gorgeous
panorama of the universe. Continu-
Gus melody is supplied by seven bands
and three Calliopes, and the spectators
are kept in good humor by an army of
the funniest clowns in the world.
The parade will leave the circus
grounds promptly at 10 O'Clock, if pos
sibIe, and Will pass through the prin-
cipal residential and business sections
of the city. A definite line of march
will be determined by 8 representative
Of the circus and the police department
on the day before the date of exhibit
ton OF course il is a safe prediction
that virtually the entire population,
big and little. Will he on hand TO wit
ness the wonderful, free spectacle.
The Barnum g. Bailey circus this
year calls itself circus of all ma
lions" on account of the host of for
eign performers who are appearing on
its program for the first time. More
