MEX|CANS SEND
REPORTS THAT THE
TROOPS COME BACK
ALL HOPE OR VILLAS DEATH
is FINALLY WIPED OUT-A
STRONG ANTl-AMERlCAN FEEL
ING is GROWING.

Ell PASO, Texas, April 1S.-Re-
ports were received here today from
Mexican sources the American ad-
vance detachments had been recalled
by Gen. J., j. Pershing and the ex-
,peditionary force was being concen-
trated in three places, strong de,
tachment being encamped near Sa.
tevo the main column near Mani
quipa and a third division at Colonia
Dublan.
These reports also stated the Par
raj fighting had a most unfortunate
effect on the people of northern
Mexico and had greatly inflamed the
|anti-American feeling. The Parral
incident, it was said, had been mag
.nified by anti-American and anti
Carranza agitators into great bat
tie in which the Americans were
badly beaten. The Mexican dead
were accounted for as unarmed citi-
zens who have been killed by the
Americans before the Parral garri-
son could interfere.
The excitement of the people had
been very much increased, according
to the same reports by their know
ledge that Villa, dead or alive, had
never gone as far south as Parral
and their consequent inability to un-
derstand why the American cavalry
men were in that district. except on
the assumption that they were really
invading Mexico.
The misery of the poems, ravaged
by disease and facing starvation, is
making 1t more difficult than ever
for the authorities to keep them in
control, it is said.
The failure of the Mexican officials
here and in Juarez to obtain any con
firmation in two days of the reported
discovery of the body OF Villa had
almost extinguished hopes here of
the report being true. While neither
Consul Garcia or General Gavira are
willing to abandon hope, other Mexi-
cans, usually well informed, have gone
over the pessimists.
The situation of the American
troops and fears of another incident
such as that at Parral have com
pletely overshadowed the pursuit of
the bandit. The one question Of In
terest here Is whether the American
troops are to be recalled.

FOR CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

The newly-elected manager, r. l..

Trade baseball team, and Manager r.
V. Richard of the Retail Merchants
team. yesterday completed their line
ups. having secured the permission
of the various players to take the
places assigned.
Both teams are composed of very in

shOrstop for the Board of Trade, was
selected for his extreme height. which
will likely help him in getting what
will be intended for outfield pop-flies.
E. c. Butts was chosen for first base
on account of his speed in going after
the hot liners sent him. Mayor Hop
kins was thought likely for the place
of catcher, having experience in con
ducting the police court. Judge A. ID.
Gale was chosen as pitcher on account
of his particular apathy for highballs.
A. Lazarus was assigned right fields
as a dark horse He has a record as
big Lacquer and it was feared to put
him in close quarters lest he might
break something loose. A. H. Crovatt
was appointed to the third sack with a
view to having everything stopped
that might break in that direction.

VOTERS TODAY
WILL DECIDE
MANY CONTESTS
ALL COUNTY OFFICERS TO BE
NOMINATED AT PRIMARY
TODAY--HEAVY VOTE WILL
BE POLlED.

With every candidate sanguine of
victory, the people of Glynn county
fill today decide who are to serve
them in the various county offices.
With a registration slightly larger
than that of the past two years. and
with all candidates hard at work. it is
expected that almost full vote will
be polled. Candidates and politicians
generally expressed the belief yester-
day that of the GIG voters registered
between $40 and $50 of them would
participate in the primary.
The campaign has been a decidedly
quiet one, quiet because the candi-
dates and their friends have been
quietly at work. There has not been
single political meeting, further than
mere gathering of three or four
friends to canvass registration list; !;
no bitterness has been injected into
any of the contests, and it is expected
that the primary will be a quiet one.
Voters, for the first time, will vote
an absolute Australian ballot. There
will be no possible manner of deter
mining how a man voted. In the past
when voter was handed a ticket by
one of the election managers it was
numbered, and a corresponding num-
Der opposite his name was placed on
the list. At the primary today, how
ever, the ballot will not be numbered.
The Managers.
The polls will open in Brunswick
this morning at $50 o'clock and will
close this afternoon at $50. The
managers at the various precincts are:
Brunswick, w. F. Symons, ]. T. Lam
bright, l.. M. Orr; 1499th district,
l., ]. Lang, B. F. Lewis, J. A. Cason;
l356th district, Charlton Wright, John
Ponsell, F. F. George; 25th district
(St. Simon) w. H. .Shadman, w. C.
Taylor, John Postell; 9th district,
NJ. T. Scarlett Alex Livingston, T.
J. Honey.
Just how early tonight the result
will be known cannot be stated. The
News has arranged to get returns
from the county precincts as soon as
possible after the closing of the polls.
AS these polls all close early in the
afternoon the outside vote should be
known before o'clock. 1t will prob
ably take the local managers two or
three hours to count the ballots here,
and it will probably be or 10 o'clock
before the results will be known.

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-Secre-
tary Baker laid before the cabinet
today long reports from General Fun
'ston. reviewing the whole situation
on the border and in Mexico.
From the state department. the
president and the cabinet received am
outline of the diplomatic steps taken
or contemplated since the Carranza
government urged the withdrawal of
American troops.
decision as to what course now
to pursue is to be reached by the mil
itary and diplomatic aspects of the
situation
General Funston's dispatches came
last night and are the fullest discus
sion of his problems he yet has sub
mitted. They contain no mention of
the reported death of Villa. That
was the only hint of their contents
Secretary Baker would reveal. The
substance of the message, the secre-
tary said, was beyond the the realm of
public discussion at this time
II is understood that the reports
show Gen. Pershings men TO he
south of the furthest southern point
at which Villas trail has been even
indefinitely located. The pursuit ap-
parentiy is swinging to westward into
the more mountainous regions.
Renewed sniping around Parral
was not reported to the department.
although new dispatches from Gen.
Pershing's camp disclosed that
American troops had ben fired upon
again by Carranza troops.
War department officials would not
discuss the probable result of the
continued hostility. 1t was init
mated, however, that Gen. Pershing
might have thought it necessary to
call the departments attention to the
situation very fully and to await fur
ther instruction,

A statement by Jane Adams,
noted head of Hull House, declaring
for the reelection of Woodrow Vii
son and giving the reasons. for her
endorsement, was read last night at
the Progressive-W Wilson meeting by
Judge Albert D. Nortoni, Progressive
leader in Missouri. It follows:
In 1912 many of us became mem
bers of the Progressive party, not
only because we believed that the
correction of abuses inevitably deVel-
Oped by an uncontrolled industrial
ism should become a vital issue in
federal politics, but also because we
were convinced that this modern
type of remedial legislation could be
party We predicted the sacrifice of
federal legislation and the control Of
local issues if the Democratic party
were elected; the sacrifice of the pop
uIar control of government and the
ascendancy of business interests if
the Republican party were placed in
power.
Because of these beliefs I, at
least, was quite unprepared for the
distinctive period in American poll
tics developed under the brilliant
party leadership of President Wilson
when important federal measures
were constantly passed for the ma
tional adjustment of nationwide
problems.
''The present administration comes
before the country with a social pro-
gram that carries assurance because
of a record of pledges fulfilled and a
series of legislative achievements not
equaled by any other administration.
Prominent among its contributions
to social and industrial justice are
these:

DISBANDiNG THE GUARD.

Congressman who are going to dis
band the national guard and patrol
the southern border with regular army
troops should show us how the enlist
ing can be done. The law prevents a
draft to be made but who is going to
draft men into the standing army when
there is no war and threatened attack
upon this country?
Some propose TO increase the pay
and regular army officers think that
will do it. Let it be done. Farm hands
get better pay now days than Unit
ed States army men.
About the only thing that can be
done is to push enlistment for the
three year course as hard as possible
and every time a new regiment has
been recruited let a national guard
regiment so home. Perhaps in d years
time the guarismen would all be back
to their civilian occupations.
Fire broke out before we had fire
companies enough TO handle the situa-
ton and we are not yet done with the
old bucket brigade.
If we would have a citizen soldiery
trained we must offer young men
college education besides their army
pay as a prize for three years of army
duty. 1t could be done and it would
draw the recruits. Make every mill
tary post military college.
