Most Serious Problem

Army officers here admitted that the
question of getting adequate supplies
to the forces at the front was growing
serious. They said that the present
system of motor transportation across
Chihuahua desert has proved made
ouate and as Gen. Pershing's columns
pushed farther into desolate western
Chihuahua, the problem of getting sup
rlies was growing acute. The advance
corps of the expeditionary force is now
we'll over $50 miles frcm the frontier
and every day presumably adds many
miles to the line of communications.
Mormon colonists and American
ranchmen who know the desert we'll,
agree that nothing but railroad can
cope with nature in this dreary region
Even if wagon roads were constructed
their life would be brief, they declared.
Plans for Shipping
There has been some speculation
here. as to the manner in which goods
could be shipped from Ell Paso 1t has
been suggested thta to avoid contact
with the CarranZa troops in JuareZ,
supplies would be taken on the motor
trucks to a point on the Mexican
Northwestern. six or seven miles
south of the boundary and there load
cd. Brig. Gen. George Bell. Jr. howev-
er. declared today that if the railroads
are used, all supplies will be loaded in
FL Paso, sent over the river to Juarez
and then dispatched south.
Thousands Of Tons Ready
Thousands of tons Of foodstuffs,
clothing, ammunition. hospital sup
plies. and forage in warehouses are
here ready for shipment to the Casas
Grandes district, the minute word ar
r;ves that Gen. Carranza has granted
the right to use the Mexican rail-
ways.
United states army headquarters in
FL Paso already have arranged with
railroads entering here to provide To-
comotive and cars to make up supply

Will Make Inquiry

W." V&NS s'HS'J
Already, it was intimated at the
State department, the United States
has information sufficient to warrant
the making of an inquiry of the Ger
man government as tc whether any Of
it's submarines fired a torpedo at the
Sussex or the Englishman.
The President. however. feels that
all the details available should be at
hand before definite action is taken.
He described the situation to callers
today as being grave.
The President is seriously consider
ing going before Congress and laying
the entire question of submarine war
fare before the members Of the Sen
ate and House. Certainly he Will COM
municate the situation fully to Con-
gress before taking any definite steps
which might lead to the severance OF
diplomatic relations. All phases of the
situation probably viii, be discussed at
the cabinet meeting tomorrow.
Avoid Official Expression
Official expression of the attitude OF
the administration was avoided today.
The high officials made no attempt to
minimize the gravity Of the situation
which will confront the United States

ROBERT MANTELL AT
 ROYAL IN HIS DEBUT
Talented Shakesperian Actor Makes First Bow to Public
 in Motion Pictures.

"Ten years ago I would have des- pissed even the thought of going into motion pictures. But today they have become so artistic, they have increased in the value of artistry at least one thousand per cent. The greatest peo- pie are going into them, and why should I not do so?"
 Robert B. Mantell discussed various phases of his many years experiences in theatrical life before signing with William Fox for a series of modern dramas. of which the first is ''The Blindness of Devotion" which is shown at the Royal today and tomor- TOW.
 Pm as enthusiastic as schoolboy'' said he. q can hardly wait to begin my work on the screen and I wish to state that I am going to give the best that there is in me. I am thoroughly enthused by the pictures and really cannot say whether I should care to return to the legitimate stage again
 Would you care to go so far as to say that you think Shakespeare is dead?" asked his interviewer
 ''I would dislike very much at this time to make such a bold statement as that" replied MT. Mantell. but you may say for me, without fear of con tradiction, that Shakespeare is sleep ing. and so far as I can see, very deep ly."
 As MT. Mantell talked. his charming and talented wife. Genevieve Hamper, sat beside him and entered into the conversation with lively zest Miss Hamper also has signed a contract with William Fox to appear in pictures and she, too. shares in every respect the ideas of her talented husband.
 Said Miss Hamper: "Yes, we both saw the handwriting on the wall as regards legitimate drama and Shakes pearean roles. and we saw for a long time back that pictures were fast get ting to the center of the public stage and that they were getting to be a per manent and lasting proposition. so we are both extremely enthusiastic about beginning our work

 There is much misapDrehension as to the application of the antitrust laws to foreign commerce. Of course, as matter of fact, there is no great CT restriction upon American business in the foreign fields than the law i'm poses as to domestic. Nor does the law forbid cooperation in either do- mestic or foreign commerce except where it amounts to a restraint of trade or a tendency 10 create mon- opoly The census taken bv the Fed eral Trade Commission, directed to a very large number of business men of all classes. discloses that the great body of opinion in such circles is that cooperative efforts in export trade is prohibited by the law. Our investiga- ton discloses that more than half of the men who answered our inquiry stated it as their understanding of the law that co-operative enterprise in ev- port trade is prohibited even as to noncompeting circles-a situation where ordinarily there should be no competition to be restrained. It is a fair statement of the fact that our in- vestigations disclose that doubt as to the legally of such enterprise in the foreign fields amounted in many in- , stances to a prohibition of any action in the foreign market.
