San Antonio. Tex. March 20.-Little
reason for belief that a clash would oc-
cur today or even tomorrow between
General Pershing's cavalry and the
forces of Francisco Villa was offered
today in General Funston's reports.
The reports from General Pershing told
the manner in which the American
forces are operating. Most of the infor-
nation received by the commander in
dicated that Villa was headed for the
mountains In the Guerrero district.
The force actually being used in the
chase Of villa was strengthened today
by the arrival at Casas Grandes of de-
tachments OF the Thirteenth infantry
and the Fourth field artillery and the
aero squadron. Reports to army head
quarters did not indicate whether the
aeroplanes moved forward on their
trucks or by flying. - .sss ~.,s
II has been assumed at army head
quarters that the Carranza troops are
joining heartily III the task Of running
down Villa. but what the Mexican
troops are doing is not known.
General Pershing reported today that
the garrison at Casas Grandes was
.friendly but passive" He says in the
same report that the Mormon colon
fsts looked upon the Americans as
their rescuers."
New estimates by General Pershing
placed villas losses In killed, wounded

tack Columbus at 200.

WHY COST OF LIVING
IS BECOMING HIGHER
GREAT PROSPERITY on CouN-
TRY ~ THE CAUSE OF IN
CREASiNG PRICES.
Director of the Mint Attributes High
Cost of Living to loo Much
Observation-Disclosures
tiouS Are Heavy.

WASHINGTON. Oct. la.--"Amer-
ioa's great prosperity is in itself re-
sponsible for the high cost OF living"
Director OF the Mint Won Engelken
said today. with more gold in the
vaults. with more money in circula-
ton and the greatest export trade
in the history OF the country the
Unied states is at once roaping a
golden harvest and TO mix the meta
phor-paying the .piper--the piper
being the high cost of living"
His explanation was:
The export trade Is bringing un-
precedented quantities of gold TO
this country. There arc such vast
demands for goods that prices have
risen responsively. More workers
than heretofore are employed and
they are getting larger wages than
previously, and while these workers
supply the goods their wages draw
from the immense gold supply to
buy more goods than before, thus
helping to swell the enormous de
mands and the consequent price in
crease.
Wages, l will admit, have not
kept pace with the prices. but |
have hopes for altered conditions
| in the future. The high cost of liv-
| ing is creature of our own crea-
ton. The United States is normally
borrowing nation. Capital utilized
for construction in the past has
come largely from abroad. The sud
den reversal of this condition and
| the retention of interest payments
at home. coupled with the reversal
of the usual trade conditions, pre-
sents an unusual REIMBURSEMENT OF
the economic problem. For the
present we are reaping golden .har-
vest and In turn are spending the
coin with a prodigal hand. The
! mints are working twenty-four hours
a day trying to keep up with the
demand for coin. During the last
| two years several hundred million
dollars in gold. over the usual impor-
tation, has poured into the United
States. The following figures show
| the relation of the demand for coin
for the period from January ] tc
October II. last year. and this year:
| Dimes in 1915, $6S5.000; in 1916,
$4,000, 900; nickels, In 1915. ST.
100000; in 1916. S2,950.000; pen
