BANDITS DID ALL

Kept Troopers Riding Hard
to Keep Close Enough
to Shoot Them.

dts was running match with the
bandits trying to do all the running
This was learned today when part of
Colonel Dodd's command, which par
ticipated in the fight. arrived at sup
ply base near the headquarters camp
When the Americans overlook the
Nillistas in surprise attack last We'd
nesday morning the bandits made no
attempt to fight the Americans, whom
they equalled in numbers, except
when they were brought to bay by
the hard riding OF the pursuers.
Troops who participated in the fight
said that the bandits rode silently If
they were in fright
Few OF them yelled, even in the
excitement of fighting. although YELL
ing has been heretofore character
istic of the Villistas in action. The
bandits rode crouched over their
horses, scattering over wide zone,
leaving the Americans to force all the
fighting.
These were plainly some of the
'Nillistas who participated in the CO.
lumbus raid and apparently they had
no heart left for another battle with
American soldiers. The Guerrero
river divided some of the pursuers
and the bandits for a time during the
1--WE hourse running fight. Amer-
cans galloped for some distance altng
on the bank of the river firing as they
rode at the bandits on the other side.
AS the Nillistas in small groups rode
up some of the immense, gradually
sloping sides of the foothills in the
long fight, they offered clear but tiny
targets for American forces strung
out along the line of pursuit. Against
the brown grass of the open slopes
men and horses were distinctly visible
for great distances until they reached
almost the vanishing point of size.
Some OF the troops had unusual op-
portCnity to test their craftsmanship
at the extreme range of killing power
for rifle, about three thousand
yards.

England Faces Problem of
Securing 30O,O00,OOO for
Year of War.
ADJUSTMENTS MUST
PAY THEIR SHARE
Incomes, Sugar, Cocoa, Cof-
fee and Motor Cars to
Be Leveled Upon.

T ONDON, April 4 G0:45 p. m.)-
IL Faced by the problem Of financ-
ing for another year a war costing
Greet Britain f5,OO0.OOO daily, the
chancellor of the exchequer, Reginald
McKenna, was met at the outset by
two favorable circumstances. namely
that owing to the expansive power OF
British trade the revenue for the year
exceeded the estimated revenue by
f32. 100000, while the years expendi-
ture has been f31 100000 below the
estimate.
BY imposing new taxes on amuse.
ments, railway tickets, matches and
mineral waters and raising number
of the old taxes, including those on
excess war profits. incomes, sugar
cocoa, coffee and motor cars the
chancellor estimates that he will be
able to raise about 100000
which is nearly double what many
persons believed he could raise by this
means
Compares With Germany.
At the close of an able and lucid
speech in the house of commons today
explaining the greatest budget in the
would's history, the chancellor made
an interesting comparison with Ger
man finances, declaring that while
Great Britain was raising more than
1900, 100000 annually by taxation the
secretary of the German imperial
treasury. Doctor Helfferish, was an
nouncing a doubtful increase" of
f24,00O,000
Explaining his financial methods,
Mr.. McKenna indicated his desire to
avoid anything requiring new ma
chinery for its collection, which would
prove costly and wasteful. Equally he
desired to distribute the necessary
burdens fairly over the whole COM
munity. He said he was aware of no
historical parallel in other countries

for the willingness displayed by the
people Of Great Britain to submit
cheerfully TO the tax gatherers exac-
tions but II would be mistake, he
added, to drive this spirit Of public
sacrifice too hard.
For instance, he said, he had re-
sisted suggestions for an excessive in
crease in the tax on excess war profits
because he considered this would have
the effect of restricting trading en-
terprise. He reminded the house that
firms carrying a large business ac-
cepted great risks and responsibilities
and needed to build up good reserves
OF capital, because after the war they
would be called upon to meet strong
competition abroad.
On the question of the general tariff
which has been the subject of earnest
speculation in political circles Mr.. Nc
Kenna put aside any idea that the
government had yet been converted to
that means for raising revenues or
breaking enemy competition. On this
point he said:
Tax on Matches.
1.-The house will have noticed that /
have not discussed the question as to
whether fiscal Suties might now prop
erly be used for controlling and di-
recting trade in "a way advantageous to
ourselves and injurious to our enemies.
l and my colleagues are satisfied that
any attempt in this direction would
be met by insuperable preliminary
difficulties in finding the necessary
machinery to give effect to such pro-
posals."
On the whole the budget was we'll
received both In the house and by the
public. The debate following the
chancellor's speech was confined to
minor members. The criticism mainly
concerned objections to the tax on
matches and railway tickets, the lat
ter on the ground that 1t would drive
the travelling public abroad.
Burdens Ireland.
William OBrien, nationalist for the
city OF Cork. strongly protested that
the new proposals were piling burdens
on Ireland which she could never
stand.
The most unpopular of the taxes is
the tax on matches, which will about
double their cC6t. 1c is recalled that
the last attempt to place tax on
matches in 1874 by the liberal chan
cellor, Robert Lowe. led to such seri-
Gus riots In London that the attempt
was abandoned.

BELLIGERENT SHIPS EXCEPT AT
OWN RISK

According to Washington reports, dat
ed January 5, President Wilson has been
notified by some Of the leaders Of the De
mocratic party in Congress, that they will
not stand back Of him in any drastic ac-
tion he may take on the submarine issue.
1t is evident, furthermore, that many Of
the Democrats feel the government should
not allow Americans to travel aboard
belligerent merchant ships, except at their
own risk
Senator Gore has just introduced bill,
which would require Americans to make
affidavit that they would not take passage
on belligerent ships, or on vessels, even
American, carrying contraband, and if
they did so, would receive no protection
and be subject to penalty. Masters Of
ships carrying passengers, making such
affidavits, would also be penalized.

The Ford peace party was we'll received

men Of Stockholm gave banquet in their
honor at the Grand Hotel, on the even
ing of December 20. When the party
was leaving, thousands Of Swedish peo-
pie gathered at the station to bid them
farewell, and sang My Country Tis of
Thee"
The German government has granted
the peace expedition permission to travel
to the Hague, through Germany, by spe
cial train, although no passports covering
belligerent countries were granted by the
United States
The conditions under which the Ameri-
cans will travel, are very strict Their
train will be sealed, everyone being locked
within No one is to touch German soil
No typewriter or printed matter can be
carried. The concealment Of any paper,
even Of the most innocent character, will
result in serious complications for the
entire party. Before reaching German
territory, all cameras, post cards, spy
glasses and gold coins must be abandoned
1t is announced that from present in
dications the conference at The Hague
will last only about days, the party dis
banding on January II, when most Of the
members will return home. 1t is esti-
mated by Ford's business manager, that
the expedition may cost more than one
million dollars.
Henry Ford arrived in New York on
January 2. He declared that he had no
doubt that the mission had accomplished
tangible results, the main idea Of the ex-
pedition being "to crystallize into con
crete form, if possible, the various ideas
and hopes for peace, which prevail all
over the world"
eff what have done," he said, "will
bring peace only one day nearer, I shall
be more than repaid. Every day the war
is shortened will save thirty thousand
lives -
He stated that he was simply the custo-
dian of the money which the people being
slaughtered had helped him to get, which
he was willing to spend in their behalf
Referring to the charge that the mission
had been for self qualification or adver-
tisement, he laughed and said that his
business did not need advertising.

WORST EPIDEMIC OF GRIPPE IN
HISTORY OF COUNTRY

The most serious epidemic of la grippe
and pneumonia ever known in the United
States, has spread from coast to coast,
and from the Canadian line to the Gulf.
The two cities Of Cleveland and Detroit
alone each report 100000 cases of in
fuenza.
In Chicago more than thirty persons
have died daily, from pneumonia, during
the past few weeks. In Philadelphia it
is estimated that more than $4,000 persons
are sick with the grippe or pneumonia,
and there is shortage Of nurses in that
city
Statistics show that la grippe causes the
death Of 12,200 persons annually, in the
United States. In view of this mortality,
and the general prevalence Of the epidemic
at the present time, the public is called
upon by health officials of various cities,
to cooperate by guarding against taking
cold, by protecting their feet and wear
ing proper clothing

GOODNOW BELIEVES CHINESE UP.
RISING DUE TO OPIUM

Dr. j. Frank Goodnow, president of
Johns Hopkins University, and former
confidential adviser to the Chinese govern
ment, attributes the present uprising in
the province of Yunnan, China, to the at
titude on the part Of the Chinese govern
ment to annihilate the opium industry.
"The province of Yunnan,' he said,
"always has been an excellent field for
the cultivation Of the poppy plant. The
prohibition of the use Of opium just be-
fore the revolution has been for some time
one of the vital issues at stake in the
Chinese administration. -
The revolutionary uprisings are not con-
sidered at this time, as constituting a SER
ious political situation.

been regarding the political situation with
good natured Indifference, is now quoted
as expressing his decided disapproval by
saying that the Republican party wants
real G. 0. P. man as it's candidate, and
not Progressive.
Roosevelt himself has been sitting quiet
ly in the background, apparently hugely
enjoying the commotion which the men
tiOn of his name has occasioned.
The Chicago Evening Post, in an edit
orial December 81, said in part
Colonel Roosevelt may or may not be
nominee for the Presidency. For our
part, we believe with our Washington cor
respondent, Mr.. Edward B. Clark, that he
is not stirring hand to get the prize.
But it cannot be denied that his aggressive
Americanism, his breadth Of vision and
fearlessness of expression are attracting
to him day by day thousands Of men who
have formerly fought him to the bitter end.
''The reason is plain. Colonel Roose-
welt is phrasing defining, driving home
the issue on which the next presidential
campaign will inevitable be fought All
others are silent on it. Men crave leader
ship and turn unerringly to real leader f"
The situation, in the view Of many lead
ing politicians, is simply thus: Roose-
welt, by allowing his name to be placed on
the Republican ticket, could swing both
the Republican and the Progressive
parties
The ex-presidents frank and fearless
utterances on preparedness and the Europ-
can war, and his cutting citicisms Of the
administration s attitude toward the sub
marine controversy, have struck keynote
with the masses. No matter how much
many thinking men may fear his policies,
Roosevelt is riding on the crest Of the
popular wave.
