drive the bandits from the South.
The intmation would be that either
this must be done or Carranza forces
themselves must crush out all brigan-
dage before withdrawal OF the Amer
lean force could be arranged for.
1t Is possible that to avoid the pos
sibility Of clashes such as that at Par
raj the new American bases will be
established at points somewhat north
OF the present most advanced posi-
tions. A minor withdrawal, it was
said, might aid Gen. Carranza in
granting the additional cooperation
which will be suggested.
1t is known that the possibility Of
asking Gen. Obrcgon, Carranza war
minister, to come to the border for a
conference has been suggested here.
Because Of tho jealousy Carranza is
said to feel over the position the war
minister occupies in the minds OF the
Mexican peopl however, doubt is felt
as to the practicability of carrying out
this plan.
All recent reports indicate the
pressing need Of relief for Gen. Perish
ing's advance guard, particularly the
cavalry. Men were described as ply
sically strained, without shoes, their
uniforms frayed and their horses
jaded. Many new mounts have been
forwarded and quantities OF clothing
have been sent them. The troops took
the field with only the essential field
outflttings.
Movements Of Carranza troops near
the border have been closely followed
by Gen. Funston and were reported
to President Wilson today by Sccre-
tary Baker. Gen. Funston is said to
have demonstrated that unless there
Is thorough cooperation between the
American troops and those OF the de
facto government Of Mexico, 1t would
be difficult for the pursuit Of Villa
to continue successfully.
Practically all President Wilson's
closest advisers have urged that the
troops be kept in Mexico at least un-
til there are reasonable grounds for
believing that there will be no more
uprisings along tho border.

cnce that listened attcntivcly to the
nine COllCtsanS.

Preparedness, and the great war,
came in for their full share and where

as his main topic. he usually alluded
to them some time during his ora

RUSSIANS NOW on
THE WESTERN FRONT
Large Body OF Cars Army Now Help.
ing Allies in France.

London, April 20.--Russia has come
to the aid Of France and Great Brit
ain in the great struggle on the west
crn front. She has strong force
OF troops to fight with the allies
there. The Russians discmbarkcd at
Marscilles at noon.
The arrival was noted in the order
Of the day by the French commander
in-chef, Joffre.
The Russians arc believed to have
embarked at Archangcl, on the White
Sea, the only port through which
there is free communication between
Russia and the allies in the west. 1t
is considered probable that transports
made wide sweep out into the
North Atlantic before heading for the
Mediterranean to avoid submarines
in the vicinity Of the British Isles.
In this connection it is noted pri-
vatc advices to- New York state that
Archange! has been closed to all but
government shipping. This may in
dicatc other troop movements to the
western front either are under way
or contemplated.
Several times during the war there
has been reports that Russia was
sending troops to the western front
travellers even declaring they had
seen detachments en- route through
Scotland and England. No such
troops ever appeared on the western
battle line.

practically destroyed. Mr.. Alexander
who was driving, did not discover the
fire until too late to save the car and
the occupants had to make a hurry

was the cause. The car was the pro-

Today's edition of the Star Bulletin features the
Fifth Civic Convention and Second Annual Ha
wall County Fair at HiIo next month. Three sec
tons Of this Saturday issue are devoted to news
ticles, special descriptive and Informative articles
photographs and advertising, with Hilo and its
achievements and efforts as the central theme
No one can read these articles without being
struck BY the fact that Hilo is working on def
mite program Of preparedness" to play its part as
q strong factor in community welfare all over Ha-
Waii. 1t is undertaking public improvements on a
broad scale 1t was Hio that started the Civic Con-
Fention movement and as the convention rolls
1round to the city of its inception the time is par
|ieularly fitting for public recognition of Hilos
|ork Such recognition the Star Bulletin has en-.
taToied to give in its Hilo Feature Sections today
il i emphasized there and it should be empha.
sized again that Honolulu has manifest duty in
this conDectionto send a big crowd to the conyen-
ton. Hilo is makihg real hnaneial effort to en-
terrain the conyeniion and fair visitor on big
scale. Reciprocity should impress every business
man and business firm here with the idea of taking
time off, of giving employees time Off to visit the
convention.
