HAD NO CLASH

San Antonio, Tex, March 16-Some- where south of New Mexico, perhaps twenty miles and possibly a greater dis tance, General Pershing and the divided force he is commanding. are encamped tonight. They have haa no encounter with Mexicans and their progress into his little army has been uninterrupted, according to the laconic messages re- ceived by General Funston.
 Merely ploughing their way through the desert sand,'' were the words of Gen eral Funston in summarizing the days developments.
 The campaign is being conducted on the assumption that the de facto government s troops will cooperate in the efforts to destroy Villa and his followers but with the exception of support given by the small garrison at Palomas, opposite Col umbus, military headquarters here was without evidence tonight that active aid would be given by Carranza's army. The statement of General Gavira, commander at Juarez. that while he had given orders for cooperation in accordance with in structicns from his government he per sonally did not indorse such action, was the basis for comment by army men.
 By some Gavira's attitude was taken as indicative of that of many of Car ranza's officers. but those high in aU- thority expressed the hope that discip- line would prevail in all eases over per- sona opinion as it had in the case of General Gavlra.
 No concerted plan of action between

 Not Approve Invasion Is Cause of Much Comment

Columbus, N. M, March 16.--(By reports reaching here unofficinlly to- day from the Mexican border indicated that the American troops in Mexico were unmoIcsted in their advance, there also were reports that a few snipers had been encountered. There was nothing to show which of the American columns might have en- countered them.
 According to these reports six or dition had been hit by snipers.
 Troop trains came in here during the night and Columbus awoke today to find the camp had grown considerably in pop ulation since last evening. A new lot of cavalry horses was noticed. Great piles of supplies in boxes, and stacks of baled hay had sprung up near the rail- way station. Quartermaster wagons left constantly over the road to the south during the day.
 In a sage brush plain off to the side of the camp numper or aeroplaneS were tried out. They had been set up since their arrival yesterday and were tested today. One or two at a time were in the air most of the day. None of the avia- tors have yet joined the advance col umns, so far as could be ascertained here.
 The strict military censorship of all news on troop movements out of Colum- bus has not yet been relaxed

 IS GOOD AUGURY FOR FUTURE RELATIONS
Washington Believes It Was Brought About By De-
 termination to Con- tinue Relations

Washington. March l6.--Emperor Williams determination not to provoke break with the United States in the new submarine campaign, even though 1t involves a factional contest in the German reichstag, having already brought about the downfall of Grand Admiral von Tirpitz himself is indi- scated in today'ss Berlin dispatches.
 The tone of these dispatches from the German capital. although guarded and yelled. is taken here to prove the supremacy of the Emperor, Chancellor lister von Jagow and the army which has been opposing the plan of Admiral Von Tirpitz and the navy party to car ny the submarine campaign to mer- ciless destruction of all neutral ship ping to enemy ports.
 A SIGNIFICANT OMEN
 Showing the decision of the Elm peror and his supporters to reject a submarine policy practically certain to bring about a break in relations with the United States. If not actu- ally war. the development is regard ed here as a potent augury for a peaceful solution of a disagreeable sit t- uation with Germany. By some it is regarded as the most important de- velopment toward the continuance of good relations between the countries that has come about since the period

In estimating Carranza's character
by what he says and does it is neces-
sary to have in mind that he assumes
to II tries to represent a republic
where the peoples will is law. The
will Of the great Porfirio Diaz was law
unto the whole Mexican nation when
1t came to a test, and that has been
the rule whenever dictators were in the
saddle there. Theoretically the cause
OF Constitutionalism. of which Carran-
"a is chief Champion, stands for just
what its name indicates-a constitu-
tional system OF government with q
law behind it and the people behind
the law. Carranza appears to go
through the form, at least, Of referring
important matters back to the people,
although in the turmoil Of war this
can only reach to the subchiefs or gen
erals and counselors who speak for the
people of their several districts. If
CarranZa has this much of an organ
lied government. faulty as it is in our
eyes, it is q nucleus around which bet
ter things can be built as soon as the
anarchy which his foes find profitable
is suppressed.

The accidents which befell the new
subway construction in New York have
no relation to the stability of the fin
iShed tubes. The accidents took place
i'll a section where the channel is cut
through 4 ridge of rock, and blasting
would be likely to unsettle the rock on
the sides, Before the tube is con-
structed the work Of Snoring up"
against side pressure is difficult. Fur
thermore, Il rotten or unstable piece OF
rock adjoining the sides, but out Of
sight, may give way under the pressure
if traffic brings a heavy weight to bear
overhead. In general the subways have
stood the enormous strain put upon
them very we'll, and it is to be sup
posed that accidents like those in the
Seventh e n and Broadway sections
are avoidable and will be avoided now
that the constructors are wise to hid
