UNITEDSTATES TROOPS
TO REMAIN IN MEXICO
GEN. CARRANZA MUST SHOW
THAT HE is ABLE TO PRO-
TECT THE BORDER.

Washington.-lt was stated authori-
tatively that American troops will not
be withdrawn from Mexico until the
Carranza authorities demonstrate con-
troll of the situation sufficient to pro
tect the American border.
A reply to that effect probably will
be made to Gen. Carranzas note,
President Wilson was represented as
ready to withdraw the troops wnen
possible, but determined to wait until
the Carranza forces can control the
situation.
Steps were taken by the War De-
partment to obtain more definite in
formation of the disposition of Car
rama troops in Chihuahua. 1t was
said that the Carranza note prompted
the action Of military officials with
out regard to the diplomatic phases
of the situation.
Gen. Funston has been asked to
outline clearly the situation in Chi
huahua, according to his most recent
information of the whereabouts OF
Carranza detachments. No anxiety is
felt for the safety of Gen. Pershing's
columns, but in view of the state
ments in Gen. Carranzas note it is
desired to know as accurately as pos
sible what the movements of his forces
are
1t was explained at the War Depart
ment that the real mission Of the ex-
pedltion at this time was to prev>>t
attacks upon the wide sections of the
border controlled by its position IN
Mexico. AS question of military
strategy, it is considered that only a
force disposed as are Gen. Pershing's
troops could accomplish that.
A large border garrison or patrol,
it was pointed out, might repel an at
tack, but could not make it impos-
sible.
With Gen. Pershing's forces ready
to break up any attempt by bandits to
assemble a force for surprise attack
on an American border town, officials
feel that renewal of raiding within the
zone controlled by his forces is vir-
tually impossible.

WOULD ALTER OUR
NEUTRALITY LAWS
ATTORNEY GENERAL GREGORY
WOULD PREVENT CRIMES IN
THIS COUNTRY.

Washington,-General revision of
American neutrality laws was propos,
ed to Congress in a memorandum sub
mitted by Attorney General Gregory
and concurred in by the State De-
partment.
Enactment of IS laws is recon-
mended to correct defects in existing
statutes, to cover present omissions
of law for the observance of obliga-
tions imperatively imposed by interna.
tional law upon the United States"
and to make crimes against American
neutrality punishable under federai
laws. Many such acts do not now vio-
late federal criminal law.
Almost every phase Of activity in
the United States on behalf of for
eign governments which has resulted
in federal prosecution under the broad
charge of conspiracy would be made
specifically criminal by the proposed
legislation. In addition, the powers of

ment Of the land and naval forces to
preserve neutrality, imposing more
rigid censorship upon wireless and
cable messages to belligerent coun-
tries and seizing arms and ammunI-
tiOn about to be exported in violation
Of an embargo
One of the proposed laws would au
thorize collectors of customs or other
persons duly empowered by the presi-
dent to inspect foreign private vessels
in American ports for ,Ae purpose of
investigating and detecting any use
or attempted use" of the vessels in
violation of neutrality laws. The use
of such vessels as a place of resort for
conspirators against American neu-
trality would also be made crime.
Another law would make criminal GER
tain activities here OF foreign spies.

DEATH LIsT GROWS.

Fifty-nine persons have been re
ported dead and more than 100 injured
in tornado that swept Arkansas.
All means OF communication are
crippled and it is feared the list OF
dead and injured will be greatly In
creased by later reports.
The dead thus far reported are as
follows:
Judsonia, White County, 25 known
dead and so injured.
Heber Springs, IS dead.
De Lark, Dallas County, four dead.
Cabot. White County, five dead.
Hot Springs, four dead.
Morrilton, one dead.
Greenland, Washington County, two
dead.
North Arkansas appears TO have
suffered most severely, although the
storm was general throughout the
state.
At Judsonia one-third of the town
was swept away. The tornado swept
clean an area four blocks wide and
~ blocks long twenty-five bodies
and so injured already have been
taken from the ruins.

EouR DIE Al HoT SPRINGS.

Hot Springs.-Reports filtered into
the city of the death out in the coun-
try of T. Lee Parker, Dock Parker,
his invalid son; James II. Jordan,
woodchopper, and Jim Brown, negro,
and the probable serious injury OF
others out in the country, as the result
of a storm which swept across this
county, injuring probably 200 homes
on the fringe Of Hot Springs, render
ing out of commission the electric
light and power plant, damaging to
many thousands of dollars the Oak
lawn racing plant, demolishing entire
ly the grandstand and fences Of the
Boston American ball park training
grounds, damaging two Methodist
churches in the outskirts and com.
pletely demolishing 80 homes in the
city. The storm broke about o'clock
over the southeast portion of the city,
following closely the path of the storm
of last Thanksgiving afternoon. Ex'
cept for the fact that the former
storm resulted in II lives lost and
about 20 seriously injured, the storm
was much more damaging. There
were many reports of damage out in
the country, but it is not believed that
the casualty list will be added to. The
damaging of the power plant and the
fact that the electric car service and
lighting plant of the city is out of COM

CYCLONES SWEEP WIDE.

Fayettevile.-Mrs. Ed Wilson Is
F, dead and Is persons are injured, some
probably seriously, as a result Of a
cyclone that swept a half mile area
one and a half miles east of Green

County. Mrs. Wilson was in her resi-
dence when the cyclone struck the
building, utterly demolishing it. Her
husband, two sons and another boy
Will Gabbart, who has made his home
years, was also in the house when it
was destroyed. Their escape from
death is miraculous, since the build
ing was total wreck after the cy.
clone hit it. Mr.. Wilson and the boys
are badly hurt, but it is believed that
they Will recover. Mrs. Wilson's limbs
were broken in several places, ner
body was bruised all over and she was
internally injured
Details from the stricken area are
lacking. But it is known that four or
five members of the Cordrew family
living on the Riggs plantation were
badly hurt and that several members
of family named Lewis in the same
vicinity were injured, Five dwelling
houses on the C. w. Riggs hog ranch
we're demolished by the cyclone and

Nomads Of the Desert.

The Tuaregs are of the purest Ber-
Der stock, the noble families unmixed
with other blood. and, in their own
language, they call themselves the
Noble People. Nominally, they are
Mohammedans and some of their
number compose the most intolerant
and warlike sect In Islam, the Senus-
site sect. Their hatred for the for
eigner is greater even than that bred
by their religion, and so they are
more exclusive than ever were the
Chinese or Japanese. Their social
organization divides them into five
classes, the mobiles. the priests, the
serfs, the cross-breeds and the slaves.
All of these classes have this that
is democratic-they form together the
Tuareg family, which holds itself SUI
perior to all the other peoples of the
earth.
