States officials were brought face to
face with serious situation today
by a communication from Carranza's
secretary of state to Secretary Lam
sing, requesting that the United
States withdraw it's forces from Mex
lean territory.

Won't Agree.

States troops from Mexico.
Situation Critical.
Ell Paso, April 13.-Army officers
consider the situation in Mexico as
the most critical since the Villa hunt
began. There is much danger that
the lines of communication will be
cut. The communication lines are
400 miles long and the guard is in
adequate. Troops are suffering from
the lack of proper colthing and with
the rainy season coming on the Am
orleans must have free use of the
Mexican railways or be forced to
withdraw from Mexico.
No Official Word.
San Antonio, April 13.-General
Funston considers the punitive ex-
pedition is not military success un-
til Villa is captured or killed. Off,
cial word about the Carranza request
for evacuation has not been re-
ceived here
Not an Ultimatum.
Washington, April 13.-The Mex
ican embassy claims that the Car
rama note is in no sense an ultima
tum or demand on the United States
to withdraw the troops. 1t is char
acterized as merely request for
negotiations looking toward a with
drawal.
Americans Shot At.
San Antonio, April 13.-American
consular dispatches state that Mex
lean citizens at Parral fired a number
of shots at the American troops when
they entered that city. There were

stop. General Funston stated today
that the advancing American troops
are not endangered through the lack
of communication.
AMERICANS A1l1cu.
San Diego, CAL, April 13.-Several
Americans were killed or wounded
in a bandit raid in the vicinity OF
Qua aymas, Sonora, according to
naval radio message received here
today. The message was forwarded
to the navy department at Washing
ton and resulted in an order to the
cruiser Denver, now at San Bias,
Teitic, to steam for the Sonora sea-
port and investigate.
Property Destroyed.
Ell Paso, Tex, April ia band
of Villistas numbering several hun
dred and possibly several thousand
have sacked Sierra Mojada, five miles
across the Coahulia line, destroying
many thousands of dollars worth Of
American property, looting the town
of everything of value. It is be-
lieved that Villa is directing the op-
erations of the bandits. Sierra Mo-
ljada is 40 miles east Of the nearest
point at which American troops are
known to be.

The question as to how high the
price Of gasoline will go is uppermost
in the minds Of many. Representa-
lives of the various oil companies of

norance Of where the constant in
crease in price will cease. Some Of
the dealers in gas and oil are think
ing of giving up the handling Of
these two commodities, claiming that
the profit in both is 50 small that in
proportion to the amount of money
they are forced to spend to keep up
their stock the profits are not suffi-

It is a moot question among motor
car owners and dealers as to how long
a starting and lighting battery should
last in ordinary service. The conditions
governing the life Of a storage battery
are such that II varies with almost every
car owner. In the first place the bat
terry plates are really what determine
the life Of the battery.
A storage battery will perform its fuuc-
tons as long as the plates hold together
the plates used in the best batteries are
heavy and rigid and contain more than
the usual amount of antimony to stiffen
them. The oxides used In the paste are
selected only after chemical, electrical
and microscopic tests have been made.
These oxides must be coarse grained so
that they will grip each other firmly
and hold together much in the same way
as the coarse grains Of sand increase the
cohesive properties of concrete Fine
grained oxides disintegrate rapidly and
shorten the life of a battery plate Too
little antimony leaves the plates soft and
crumbly.

IT'S HARD NOW
To MAKE GOOD
Recruits These Days Have
Tough Jobs Compared to
Rockies" Years Ago.
MATTY AN EXAMPLE
Big Six" Made Miserable Showing
First Season Out McGraw's
Small staff Helped.
By FRANK ]. MENKE.

New York. March 9-The chances Of
a rookie" making good in the majors
are smaller today than they were in
the other days when the clubs took
only a half dozen youngsters-or a
dozen at the most-to the Southern
training camps.
IT'S the custom these days for club
owners to grab of from ten to twenty
five bushers and turn them over to the
manager for tU-outs during the few
weeks that the training season lasts.
When a manager has that many young
sters to look over, it's certain that he
cannot give much time to each. Us
ually those he picks are the fashiest
lockers, and he let's go the others who
do not show up we'll right from the
jump. Its the logical thing to do, of
course, but very often the flashy player
fliyVers later. and the one who is turn
ed back is the real star.
One Of the greatest pitchers of all
time made a miserable showing durin g
his rookie" days, and during his first
season as a major. Had he been a
yOungster in this era he probably would
have been dumped back into the bushes
to rise no more. But he lived his
youth in the days when clubs didn't
carry a small army of men, and so
his manager had time to give him
thorough try-Out.
The pitcher is Christy Mathewson.
He Joined the Giants in 1900 heralded
as a wonder, just the same way that
a score Of bushers are heralded each
year now Matty was given a try-out
against Brooklyn in July-and he was
batted out OF the box. He seemed to
have nothing. Twice after that he was
sent to the moUnd-and each time he
was waIlOped.
Matty pitched three games in 1900
and showed nothing startling in any
of them. In the spring of 1901 he vas
taken South. but he showed nothing
fIashy. There was nothing spectacular
about him. Had he been forced to night
it out in these days with lot Of brill
liant looking youngsters, it is possible
that he would have lost out-and gone
back to the minors
But the Old-time clubs weren't over
burdened with minor league talent
and every man who joined big league
club was given a chance to make good.
In the next season-1902-Matty won
thirteen games and lost eighteen, for
an average OF .419. giving him good
average OF .465 for three seasons
miserable showing.
What do you think would happen IN
these days to a major league pitcher
who. after three seasons in fast COM
pany. averaged only .465?
As to Tyrus n.
Tyrus Raymond Cobb never may have
become a major league star if the pres
