For Service or Sacrifice.

people warming up 10 the sincere,
honest, able and conservative gentle
man who is now presiding as the chief
executive Of this great commonwealth.
The western trip Of President Wilson
is doing a great deal more than win
ming the people to embrace the presi-
dental view on preparedness, about
which there ought to be no sincere
difference of opinion on the part Of
American citizens But the president
IS performing another service for his
country and for his countrymcn alike.
He is weaving together again the citi-
zonship of the United States in one
great American thought in which
Americanism, broad and expansive, is
the underlying foundation. Suggestive
OF the situation to which we refer we
are reproducing the following from
the esteemed New York World It
is splendid thought, in which the
World gives expression to It's own in
depreciation Of American citizenship,
in its usual forceful fashion:
There is one form Of national de
fcnee that President Wilson is promot-
ing by his western speeches TO which
the most ardent pacifist cannot take
exception He is welding the citizen
/ ship Of this country together again
INFO q compact mass Of Americanism.
The significance Of such recep.
ton as the president received in Nil
wauEcc yesterday cannot be oYeresti-
mated 1t " well enough for cynics
to gay that Americans Of German de
sccnt IN the middle west were obliged
10 show their enthusiasm over Mr..
Wilson in order 10 clear themselves
of the suspicion of disloyaity But
men cannot respond to such speeches
as the president is making without
being better Americans in conso-
macncp, II matters not what their an
cestry may have been.
Mr. Wilson has already demonstrate
cd two highly important things in the
few days that have elapsed since he
left Washington. One is that the mid
die west is anything but Indifferent 10
the issue Of national defense against
foreign aggression The other is that
ii the test comes and this country is
forced into war, we shall have little
occasion to doubt the loyalty of the
great body Of American citizens Of for
oign birth or blood What was shown
on a large scale ia Milwaukee was
shown likewise at the meeting in New
York sunday Of Americans of iiunga'
tian descent to whom Senator James,
in the course OF his address, read a
telegram from the president express
ms his confidence in che entire 10y
atty and patriotism OF the great body
OF our fellow citizens" Of alien birth.
National defense is question that
presented rs Mr.. Wilson Is presenting
II, could hardly fail to stir the patriot
ic emotions Of The American people.
But he is doing more than appeal for
dreadnoughts and a greater army. He
is bringing Americans back TO that
unity Of sentiment toward the United
States which prevailed before the pas
slons aroused by this war had torn a
common citizenship asunder. There is
no more vital form of preparedness
than that which reunites people

The advance of the hog market to
8 cents is one of the most encour-
aging signs of the coming prosperity
of the valley. Time was when the
swine industry was one of the great
est in the valley, and by far the most
profitable on. Then came the chol-
era, which does vast damage all over
the country, and the industry here
fell away to insignificant proportions.
Following that came the rebuild
ing of the industry on scientific
basis of combating the disease, and
for three, years the number of hogs
in the valley has been increasing very

Assurances for Mexico.


Washington, March 1.-THE Sen
ate today passed a resolution assur-
ing all Mexicans that the American
expedition is not for intervention and
will not encroach in the slightest de-
gree On Mexican sovereignty.
The army preparedness bills are
ready for consideration by both
houses, where the disposition is to
crowd them to passage at the earli-
est possible time.
A cabinet meeting is scheduled for
today to consider the mobilization of
additional forces on the border. 1t
is expected Congress will be request
ed to make emergency appropriations
to meet the expenses of the addition
al 10000 regulars being enlisted and
to pay the expenses of the present
expedition. It is indicated, however,
that action will be postponed until
the extent of the Villa chase can be
accurately forecast.
The House today took up Hays
preparedness measure, setting aside
other business for this purpose, and
it is hoped the bill will pass the House
tomorrow,

Seen From Washington.

Washington, March 17-President
Wilson is not now repeating the
words of a few days since, when he
declared that he was determined that
the entrance into Mexico should not
lead to intervention nor to war. In
fact, it is believed he is coming to
feel, as practically all official Wash
ington does feel, that it seems in
evitable that the move started solely
to capture Villa will end in interven-
tion that will make it impossible for
American troops to withdraw from
Mexico until stable government and
the institutions of civilization are full
ly established that probably will
imply a good many years.
Facts contributing to the belief
that full intervention must result are
reports that Diaz and Zapata are
coming forward with good-sized
force to aid Villa, and that Carranza
has rushed forward many thousand
soldiers, which are being so placed
as to constitute a menace to the
American line of communication.
Of course there always have been
threats that all Mexico would unite
to resist Intervention, and despite the
proffered cooperation of Carranza
with the punitive expedition into Mex

No Fighting Yet.

San Antonio, March 17.-Unopposed
as yet by enemy fire, the American
troops are pushing further into the
Chihuahua desert, it was officially
announced here today. General Fun
ston's bulletin announces that there
have been no casualties up to the last
report, but the scouts have failed as
yet to locate Villa. A hundred Car
ranzista scouts and an army aeroplane
are working in advance of the troops
Headquarters mere are apprehensive
of the attitude of the poems, who are
ignorant of the expeditions nature
and who may believe it to be "grin
%" invasion, and fight accordingly.
Dispatches say that no Carranzists
forces are cooperating with Genera
Pershing, but, on the contrary, 1O(
Mexicans who are accompanying him
are not part of General Bertanis S
forces, but connected with the subor.
dinate body of Americans which is
to meet Pershing at Las Palomas.
Pershing's Mormon scouts believe
it is not likely the forces will come
in contact with the Villistas before
another day.
indications are that the Villistas
: re hidden around Galena. Pershing
will reach Galena Sunday.

New York, March 17.-All indica-
tions point to gradual weakening of
the German drive on Verdun, where
the Allies are more confident than
ever of a favorable outcome of the
situation.
The growing weakness is attributed
by the Allies to the extension of the
fighting to cover almost the entire line
of battle on the east and west and on
that portion of the south from where
the Italians are driving heavily on
the Austrians.
On each front the Allies have been
making slow gains during the last few
days, this being especially noticeable
on the eastern front, where the Rus
slams have considerable advances to
their credit.

Eight Cent Hogs Sing
Merrily for the Farmers

rapidly until again this is one of our
great resources.
During the last year, probably
mainly owing to the European war, the
price of hogs has been unsatisfactory,
and yet the low price has been looked
on as temporary, and the farmers
have been building up their droves
in full expectation of the better day
to come, and it is now here.
The actual cost of producing hogs
here is under cents a pound, and
the Scent market implies large prof

as they can find in any line of pro-
duction.

The Columbus Column.

Ell Pasos, March 1.-THE Columbus
main column passed last night at
Boca Grande water hole, 25 miles
south of the border, according to in
formation given by wagon drivers who
returned to Columbus today. The
column marched 25 miles yesterday.
II was expected that the vanguard
would reach Guzman tonight.
The Carranzista general Bertani's
cavalry is still at Guzman.
The American Mormons at Pearson
and Casas Grande are expected to en-
train for the border under Carranza
guards. The advices mentioned the
Dublan colonists as being at Pearson
indicating that they had escaped the
Villistas.
Washington, March 1.-THE pres
ident today received additional assur-
ances of Carranza's approval of the
course of this country in undertaking
the capture of Villa. Carranza has
expressed to Consul Silliman his con-
fidence in this country and his will
lingness to cooperate in the work in
hand.
There are many rumors of an un-
verified character, however, coming
from Mexico, of individual Carranzis-
tas who are not entirely in sympathy
with the policy of the first chief, and
official Washington is not taking it as
thoroughly established that serious
trouble will be averted.
The president at 1890 this morn
ing signed the House and Senate res
olution recruiting the army to full
strength, and it became effective at
once and in all probability will be fol-
lowed this week by the bill which
will increase the standing army from
10000 to 25O,00O.
AS many cities report rapid enlist
ments, it is apparent there will be
little delay in bringing the quota to
the full measure.
The state department was advised
today that Villa is southbound toward
the Mormon settlement at Casas
Grande, though previous reports had
indicated that he was moving toward
the mountains. '@
Mexico City, March, 17.-Villa was
last reported at Pacheco, Chihuahua,
IS miles southwest of Guzman, NOV
ing in leisurely fashion toward the
mountains. He apparently does not
intend to stand against The Ameri-
cans.
News of the American invasion has
been received here There was no
excitement when it was made public.
1t is stated that General Bertani with
1900, Constitutionalists win join the
American expedition. Carranza's re-

ply to Wilson's acceptance of the reci-
procity suggestion was made public
tonight.
Ammunition for Carranza.

Douglas, Ariz., March 17.-Seven
hundred thousand rounds of ammuni-
tion, consigned to the Carranzistas at
Cabullona, is being allowed to enter
Mexico, as Ives Lavellier, Carranza
consul, has branded as preposterous
reports that the Cabullona garrison
is disaffected.
"They are the most trusted of Cal
les troops" he said.
Rumors today are that there is a
revolt from Carranza to the south
ward of here, but these are not veri-
fled

Gov Canu Issues Orders for Arrest of Those Who Talk

leo, there is very grave fear that this
threat is to materialize.
The leaders of the expedition are
thoroughly alive to the dangers that
beset their way, but they will be we'll
equipped with aeroplanes, including
bomb-dropping machines and armored
air machines with mounted guns, all
of the latest war models, and it will
be impossible for the Mexicans to
take the Americans by surprise.
The announcement by General Fun
ston that many more troops will join
the expedition is suggestive. The ex-
Ipected calling out Of the militia Of
Texas, New Mexico and Arizona will
relieve many federal troops now held
as border guard, while lit is expected
Congress will this week pass the bill
increasing the army from 100000 to
100000.
Enlistments are being made rapid
ly to bring the army from about 3d.
900 to the full war footing of 100000,
and it is believed by the time this num-
ber is raised the law will provide for
the further increase to 25O,OOO.
1t is believed that within ninety
days, if necessity requires, quarter
of million men can be made avail
able for Mexican intervention, while
by Communicating munitions of war
from the factories now working for
Europe the army can be splendidly
equipped.
Every effort will bea made to avoid
this eventuality, hut every official
here, military and civil, recognizes the
possibility of the punitive expedition
developing into a war of magnitude.

weeks ago to visit his family after a
long absence. He left Calexico in the
fall Of 1918, since which time he has
been serving in the Constitutional ar
mics of Mexico. He has risen to the
rank of colonel in this time.
Before leaving Calexico in 1918, he

Ensenada, Lower California,
March 17.-GOvernor Esteban
Cantu has issued orders for the
arrest of any one discussing the
American Mexican situation in

The above dispatch indicates
the vigor with which Governor
Cantu is endeavOring to MAIN
tain peace in the Northern dis
trict of Lower California, and is
in line with his policy as shown
in the delta country across the
line from here. 1t is known that
he has received from Carranza
notice of the friendly relation
ship between the government of
the first chief and the United
States.
Inquiry shows that there is no
disposition on the part of Amer
leans to limit their farming Oper-
atiOns on the delta, as the Ameri-

the efforts of Governor Cantu to
preserve the peace.

In Great Drive on Verdun

While it is considered possible that
the Germans have some surprise in
store, it is believed the growing weak

Withdrawals of forces at Verdun to

now that the big spring offensive of
the Allies is beginning to develop all

NO STURGEON INCREASE
IN WATERS OF POTOMAC
Protection Laws and Importation Of
Spawn Fails to Increase Supply,
According to Fishing Reports.

In 1914. at request OF the bureau of
legislative assemblies passed laws MAX
ing 1t illegal to take sturgeon out of
Chesapeake bay and it's tributaries. in
Guiding the Potomac river, for ten
years. in order to allow the fish to in
crease. To help the cause along, stur-
geon spawn was imported from Russia
and Bulgaria and placed in the waters
of the bay. where 1t was thought they
would thrive and increase
1t has now been nearly two years
since this was done. Local fishermen
report seeing but few signs of any in
crease of big fish in the river.
There was a time when sturgeon were
SO common In the Potomac that the
fishermen regarded them as a nuisance
and hated to see one caught in their
nets. At the fishing shores those caught
in the nets were piled ashore like
wood and any one was at liberty TO
take what he wanted.
Then came the demand for sturgeon
spawn for caviar, single nsh often
yielding ten pounds of spawn at about
81 pound. Sturgeon were then hunt
ed the seasons around Big and little
were caught. The fish began to dis
appear. Fiheries that were formerly
valued in the hundred thousands Of
dollars year are no more.
The fishermen, by catching every
thing that looked like a sturgeon, soon
killed the goose that laid the golden
egg. In recent years one or two stur-
geon are caught in the Potomac river
in the course of season. The fisher
man who catches it thinks he has done
a mighty good days work.
