WHARF IS EXTENDED.
Less Expensive Change at Wilker-
sons Than Dredging.

Wilkerson's wharf. on the Virginia side
of the river, short distance above Co
lonial Beach, has been extended hum
dred or more feet out into the river. to
deep water, so that Potomac and Chesa-
peake line steamers can now land there
on all tides. For a number Of years past
the river about Wilkerson's has been
gradually shoaling until there have been
times when even the light draft river
steamboats, could not get to the wharf.
1t was found to be less expensive and
more satisfactory to build out to deep
water than to dredge. and this was done.
Now all the Potomac and Chesapeake
line steamers are landing at Wilkerson' S
on all trips.
Capt. Sol Russell. owner of Chaptico
wharf. on the WiDmco river. Md. one
of the landings on the schedule of the
Potomac and Chesapeake Steamboat
Company. is rebuilding the pier. and. as
soon as the work is completed. the Poto-
mac and Chesapeake line steamers will
visit it on every trip to and from this
city. Chaptico is the longest wharf on
the Potomac or its tributaries. exceeding
in length Smiths and Somerset Beach
wharves. which extend for several hun
dred feet out from the shore.

TRYING TO OBTAIN LOAN
FOR CHINESE REPUBLIC
State Department, However, Is Act
ing Only as Intermediary and
Not as Guarantor.

William Phillips, third assistant sec
rotary of state. today confirmed reports
that the State Department is actively
endeavoring to obtain loan for China.
He denied however, that the action of
the department involves any change
in policy on the part of the admins
tration. a statement published in con-
nection with news of the loan negot1a-
tions because President Wilson at the
outset of his administration refused
to approve the so-called proposed five
power loan of $l25,000.000. 1t is point
ed out that in Haiti American capital
is secured by customs collections, with
the approval of the Washington gov
eminent
Mr.. Phillips sa id that the present pro
posed loan for China is a very small
one-"about one or two million dol
Iars"-and that upon this ccasion the
State Department is simply actlns as
the intermediary of the Chlnese gov
eminent. the United States having oeeh
asked to use its good ofhces lot the
Peking government. to enable China to
get little money for present needs
from American bankers.
Mr. Phillips said he did not kno"
whether the loan will go through Or
not He has had some conferences with
New York bankers on the subject, put
the latter are reported to be not en-
tirely sympathetic to the idea or the
loan.
The Willingness of the admInlstra l.
ton to be of service to China has never
been in question. it is said at the state
Department. and reports that tne
United States is acting for China at TINS
time in consequence of the Russo-Jap
anese treaty announced a few days ago
are believed inaccurate, i1asmuch as
China's request of the United states
was made some time ago. 1T Is not be
lieved that the small loan has anything
to do with the position of the United
States as to the so-called open-door
policy in China and the attitude of the
eastern and other powers toward that
policy.
There is much interest in a political
way. however in the little loan, because
it was as a consequence of his not haV-
ing been consulted as to the intended
abandonment of the five-power one
hundre ed and twenty five million dollar
loan in the spring of 1913 by President
Wilson that Huntington Wilson, assist
ant secretary of state under previous
republican administrations, resigned
and issued a lengthy statement attack
ing President Wilson'S actions. Presl-
dent Wilson at that time made pubic
statement declaring that because of the
obligations which such loan would
impose on the United States he mus,
disapprove it.

AMERICANS COMING TO RESCUE
OF UNEMPLOYED IN CHIHUAHUA
Are Laying Plans to Reopen Mines and Make
1t Possible for Poems to Make Living
by Other Means Than Banditine.

CHIHUAHUA CITY, Mex July IL
Plans for the improvement of econom-
ic conditions are being made by the
foreign residents of this city. it was
announced today. The efforts have the
support of Gen. Jacinto Trevino. com
manding the Carranza army of the
north. who asserted that in his opinion
the real solution of the problem lies
in the resumption of the operation of
the mines. smelters and other indus
tries in the state.
He pointed out that in this way the
government would be provided with
lions. and that rowing men. who
through lack of work and resultant
hunger have been forced into a life of
bandltry. could be given employment.
Americans who fed the city at the
beginning of the recent crisis between
the two nations are returning. and
nearly all traces of anti-American
sentiment have disappeared Mum bers
of foreigners, including Americans who
have lived in the state for years. eX-
press the belief that the proffering of
a plan which will quickly revive the
dormant industries of northern Mexico
would be the greatest help the Ameri-
can government can render the re-
public.
Two Villa bands attacked Carranza
garrisons yesterday at Rosario and
Parral. but in both cases were beaten
off with losses, according to official
IenortS Of Gen. Trevino
Gen. Trevino said he had not received
details of either of the clashes. but that
all reports indicate there were skirmshes
more or less minor in nature. He said
that every effort to force the Nillistas
to a battle had failed.
No doubt remains in the minds of the
military authorities here that Villa is
directing the campaign along the Du-
| range Chihuahua border. Reports reach
ing Gen. Trevno from number of es-
capped prisoners have described the ban
dit chieftain as riding in a coach, his
clutches at his side. with two of his IA
vorite chargers being led behind. 1t was
asserted that every effort of the de facto
government would be launched in an at
| tempt to effect his capture.
1t was announced that government
| troops have practically completed an en-
veloping movement. by means of which
| it is hoped to put an end TO the bandit
campaign. The Fillistas are now in
! closed, Gen. Trevino said in definite

TROOPS SENT TO MEET
POSSIBLE BANDIT RAIDS

Ell PASO. Tex. July l2.-Two bat
talions of Pennsylvania infantry. one
of the ID Regiment and one of the 10th,
broke camp here today and prepared to
entrain for Marathon, Tex. 1t was an
nounced at military headquarters that
the state troops had been ordered to
reinforce the border patrol in the Big
Bend district.
The orders followed closely reports
from the district that Mexican BAN
dts had raided the Lamula mine, an
American property about 100 miles
south of the border, and that residents
along the frontier near Boquillas. Tex,
feared the outlaws were moving north.
Belief was expressed in military cir
cleS that it was this band that Gen.
Carranza referred to when he warned
the State Department that he was in
formed that Villa bandits were NOV
ing north from JimineZ with the in
tention of attacking the American
border.
Mexican authorities in Juarez said
today they We're without Information
concerning the band, but assumed if
the reports of the raiding of the mine
are correct it was done by one of the
deta chments of the Villa band which
scattered after the recent attack upon
JimineZ.

of candidates for commission as sec

theoretical examinat ton is being given

the examinations so that the success
full candidates may be commissioned and
obtain their uniforms before leaving
for the front.
There are two vacancies to be filed
by reason of the rejection of two Of

One is in the grade of captain and the
other in the grade of first lieutenant
and both are in the LIST Battalion. the
