mands on U. s. After War
Not Authorized.
EMBASSY KNOWS NOTHING

Washington, Sept. 29.-Responsi.
biity for any statement that after the
European war Japan would renew
negotiations with the United States
over emigration and alien land legis-
lation was disclaimed by the Japanese
embassy today in a statement issued
by the charge, Tokichi Tanaka. Il
was explained that an official of the
embassy who expressed views on this
subject yesterday spoke personally
and without any authorization.
Furthermore Mr.. Tanaka declared
that Baron Sakatani, the former
finance minister, who has suggested
in speeches at New York that
Japan would take up the alien land
issue again as soon as the war was
over, was in no way authorized to
speak for the foreign office and was
discussing the question solely as an
influential statesman, representing a
large body of japanese public opinion

Facto Troops Beaten
TREvINo QUITS CHIEF

Ell PAso, Tex, July 13.-''within 30
days, I, Francisco Villa, will be dictator OF
Mexico with victorious army at my back.
"Don venustiano Carranza, stripped OF
his power and deserted by his generals,
will be deposed"
This defiant boast Of the Mexican bandit
leader was Transmitted today to his agents
on the border Through them 1t reached
American officials and was regarded OF
sufficient Importance to be forwarded to
Washington. 1t was fiat defiance of the
United States Government. General Perish
ings punitive expedition was sent into
Mexico to get" Villa Its work was baked
by the attack on American soldiers at
Parral. Now Villa proclaims his strength.
Every report that has reached El Paso
and other points along the border during
the last twenty-four hours indicated that
Villa had been successful in all engage.
ments with the Carranzista army since he
began his latest activities. With the fear
that he seems to be able to inspire in the
heart of the Mexican peon he has gathered
around him an army that is estimated to
number between 5000 and 5000 men. A
late report Is that 1000 Yaqui Indians from
the Sonora district are on their way to
Join the outlaws forces.
Yesterday the Mexican officials reported
that General Ernesto Garcia had sailed
from Parral to drive back the Villstas
Today the Mexican officials maintained a
disc set silence and this was taken as
sure sign that Garcia had been whipped
The same thing occurred within the last
week when 5000 Carranzlsta cavalry were
sent against General Calixto Contreras. So
far as official information is concerned that
force completely disappeared.
American government agents came into
possession of additional evidence that seems
to prove that Villa is being aided by the
treason Of Carranza officers. One uncon.

that General Jacinto Trevino had been
ordered relieved of his command at Chi
huahua City, had bargained with rebel
leaders and had gone over to Villas army.

including the Philadelphia command, and
the Sd Battalion, 10th Pennsylvania In
fantry, made quiet departure last night
for the big Bend" country. The start was
made at night to give the men rest on board
the train TO prepare them for whole days
marching south of Maria, Tex, where they
will detrain
The 6th Pennsylvania Infantry. 4th Bri-
gade arrived at FL Paso yesterday at noon
and the 4th and sth Regiments are expected
to arrive this morning
only a few persons greeted the soldiers
who marched to the train last night and
prepared to leave FL Paso after only few
days camping here. Those who were at the
depot to see the men off only nonchalantly
inquired where they were going. There was
no cheering or other patriotic demonstration
ever the departure of the first national
guardsmen assigned to active duty on the
border since the militia movement began
Maria is the destination OF the two battal-
ions, but how far south they will march to
permanent headquarters is not known.
The placing of the Pennsylvania troops
close to the scene of possible activities is
considered quite a tribute to Pennsylvania
National Guardsmen. 1t perhaps means
they were the best fitted for active service
on the border among the militia of other
Eastern and Northern states.
This group Of guardsmen from Pennsyl-
vania is being sent to the big Bend" coun-
try, ostensiby to be ready for n possible
attack by Villas forces in that section. In
the past the wasteless big Bend" country
had been the scene of more than one raid
by Mexicans. The movement of the I'd and
Sd Battaions is significant in connection
with the warning of Carranza to the United
States to be prepared for an attack by the
Villistas on the border of the Big Bend"
country.
The I'd Battalion, I'd Regiment, is in COM
mand of Major John Handy Hall. The Sd
Battalion of the 10th is commanded by
Major Henry w. Coulter.
The Pennsylvania Engineers Battalion,
Company A. of Scranton, and b. of Phila-
delphia, completed their task of laying out
the new camp, Stewart. on Tuesday. Camp
Stewart is now prepared to care for 10000
men. 1t is n second Mount Gretna. The
First Pennsylvania Cavalry was the first
to settle in Camp Stewart.
Wind has raised n small havoc in Camp
Pershing and Camp Stewart, both in the
vicinity of Fort Bliss. A windstorm blew
down several tents in the Eighteenth Penn
sylvania Infantry encampment.
The Pennsylvania engineers claim to be
the best-drled Euardsmen of the Pennsyl-
vania delegation at Camp Pershng and
Camp Stewart. They have been having
drills of four hours in the morning and two
hours in the afternoon daily.

TO INCLUDE THIS CITY
in CANAL DEFENSE PLAN
Congressman Moore Assured of
Amendment to Naval APP
preparation Bill
BIZ a staG Corrcspondent

WASHINGTON, July i3.-Assurances
have been received by Representative j.
Hampton Moore. of Philadelphia, that tho
naval appropriation bill will be SO amended
in the Senate as to authorize the Secretary
of War and Secretary of the Navy to devise
specific plans for the improvement of har-
bors and connecting channels along the
coasts for the operation OF the fleet. AS
provided in the Senate Naval Committee,
the bill calls for Improvement plans 80 as
to protect the harbors of Portland Boston,
Providence, New London, Bridgeport, New
York, Norfolk and ports further south by
use of intercoastal canals.
Congressman Moore took the matter UP
with Senator Willard Salisbury, of Della
ware, who has promised to present an
amendment to include Philadelphia, Cam
den and Wilmington in the provision.
For a long time" said Representative
Moore today, 1--WE have been contending
that tho Federal Government should take
over the Delaware and Chesapeake Canal
and other similar waterways connecting
Atlantic coast harbors, so that the water
ways could be deepened and improved to
accommodate our big naval vessels In
that way the fleet could work along the
coast from one city to another as they
needed protection, without exposing them
selves on the high seas. The provision in
the Senate bill is a long step in our direo-
ton"

precedented amount of S6525,00O.000. This
Is S2t0S, 900 greater than the foreign
trade of the country last year. The in
crease is greater than the entire foreign
trade of the United States in 1900 when
we first crossed the two billion mark.
The increase in exports for the year
ended June 30 was S1,576411,OO0. The
increase in imports was 41,025000. No
other year in the history of the country
shows such huge totals.

amounted to S4.345,OOO,000 and the i'm
ports were valued at S2,1SO, 900. These

first exceeded 81 ,OOO 100000. BY 1900 it
had crossed the $4,000, 900 900 mark; by
1907 1t had exceeded $4,000, 900, 900 and by
1913 it had risen above $4,000 900, 900, re.
naming around that level until the year
just ended when the $4,000, 100000 mark
was exceeded.
Imports first exceeded $1,000, 900, 900 in
1903 and are now a little more than twice
as much as at that time. Exports first rose
above $1,000, 900 900 value in 1892 and are
now four times as much as in that year.
a statement prepared in the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce analyses
the trade figures as follows:
Thirteen great classes of exported articles
yield total estimated at S3,O24, ,0OO, 900 for
1916. as against S1,321 200, 900 for all other
articles The following table shows the re-
marliable increases which have occurred in

lief at Washington, a telegram inform
Ing them that an arrangement will be made
for special representatives on the Mexican
border to look after the nee.s of Pennsyl-

The men who probably will be designated
to undertake this work for the Southeastern
