THIRTY THOUSAND cARRANzA
SOLDIERS MASSED NEAR LINE

tAssOctated Press BY Federal wtrelsss.l

W. AsHINGToN, May 25. - With
" the massing of 10000 additional
CaTranzistas along the Texas
border, under announced orders to
hunt down the bandits operating along
the line, General Funston has sent n
request from San Antonio to the war
department to be given additional
troops for border duty on the American
side
1t is understood that General Funs-
ton asked that additional companies of
Coast Defense troops be sent to the
border to act as infantry, and that
this request has been denied on the
grounds that no more men of this
branch of the service could be spared.
General Funston then requested that
more national guardsmen be mustered
into the federal service and the regi-
ments sent to the border to strengthen
the patrols.
Carranza Note Mystery
No authoritative forecast of the new
Carranza note has been received here
and the officials are at a loss to know
what new proposals the First Chief
has to make to the American govern
ment. 1t is thought that the note is
already en- route and that the fret
fnkliRg the state department here viii
have, of its contents will be when it
actually arrives.
Some officials state that they ex-
peet the note to contain fresh demands
for the immediate withdrawal of the
American forces from Mexico, but ii
is not expected that this demand will
create any serious condition of affairs
unless it turns out that the demand
for withdrawal is accompanied by
threats that force win be used to ex.
pei General Pershing and his command
in the event of failure to have them
withdrawn peaceably.
To Rebury American Dead
Announcement from Columbus, New
Mexico, is that a train of motor trucks
has been despatched south along the
American line of communication, the
trucks Marrying collins and a force of
men who will disinter the bodies of the
American troopers who have been kill
ed and buried during the recent fight
ing. These bodies will be brought
back to the United States for burial.
1t is not thought that the number of
American dead exceeds ten.

GERMAN FLEET
RETURNS TO BASE

London, March 9.-The morning
newspapers publish from their cor
respondents in Holland such details
as are available there regarding the
recent activity Of the German feet in
the North sea According to these
accounts, the feet included about
fifty craft of all descriptions, from
the most modern, dreadnangnts down
to old fashioned torpedo boats. The
fleet was escorted by two Zeppelins,
which served as scouts to prevent a
surprise attack by hostile vessels.
One trawler sighted this feet i65
miles due west of the mouth of the
Elbe. Another saw 1t thirty-five
miles northwest of Ymuiden. Ali the
German ships were painted war gray
and were invisible at short distance.
Heavy clouds of smoke frequently
hid them completely. ..
- One Dutch trawler is quoted as
having made the following report:
During the recent raid on Eng.
land Zeppelin was seen scouting in
advance of three cruisers ard fleet

were believed to have the intention
Of making a dash for English waters.

A CORRESPONDENT contributes this
easy method Of getting rid of warts:
She cites an instance Of healing an
ugly wart on the tip of the finger,
which became 50 aggravated, because
of constant bruising, that it was con-
tinually cracked and bleeding. She
states that 1t came to her mind that
pure oil, such as olive or castor oil,
was so healing In its character
that it might be applied to this wart
on q venture. It could at least do
no harm. She rubbed the oil into
the wart every. night, then bound it
up with oiled silk to protect the
bedding, after she had tied piece
Of oily absorbent cotton over the
wart. The treatment thereby was
going on all night. After several
weeks of this the wart disintegrated
and came of in tiny particles, leav-
ing no trace of scar .sm..t !.
It sounds like very good advice,
and worth trying. There are quicker
ways Of getting rid Of these blem-
Z ishes. One way is to tie white
silk thread tightly around the base
Of the wart.5 After a few days, It
will be seen that the circulation has
been 80 strangled. that the wart dries
up, and will either drop of In parts,
or can be filed on gently az Il dries
up. Very large warts on the face.
especially those having stiff hair
growing from them, had xbetter go
under the care of skin specialist,
whose method is treating with
electricity.
Childhood is particularly prone to,
warts, none Of which are serious.
They generally disappear Of them
selves. It is only matter Of con-
Germ when one comes Id an inconven-
lent place. where it will get bad
treatment, such as our correspondent
tells us about with her own child.
