 FAMOUS ORGANIST

The music loving public of New Britain is eagerly awaiting the com ing of Edwin H. Lemare. the great English organist, who is to give a recital at the South Congregational church tomorrow evening. MT. Le- mare was organist at the Panama Pacific exposition and while there great crowds nightly flocked to the auditorium where he played. He is considered today the foremost organ ist in the world and his appearance here provides an opportunity such as the people of New Britain may never enjoy again in this city.

After viewing the instrument from every angle, he was frank to say that it was the finest church organ he had seen in any land and assured members of the local committee that he would consider it privilege to play it.

 for Call to COIOrS.

London, March 16, D. m.-Pre- mier Asquith and the Earl of Derby were criticized severely at a large meeting in London today of married men who have attested for service in the army. Speakers declared there were still two million men availa ble and that the married men would re- fuse to serve until Premier Asquith redeemed his pledge to bring out the single men before the others were called to the colOrs.
 The feeling of the meeting was in tensified by the reading of a letter from MT. Asquith declining to re- ceive a deputation representing the married men, on the ground that this was a subject to be dealt with by parliament.
 The meeting adopted by acclama- tion resolutions demanding that the premier receive deputations and that all proclamations calling up all mar ried men be withdrawn.

Americans Safe.

Fl Paso, Tex, March 16.-Villa, since the pursuit of the American army started, apparently has passed beyond the American Mormon colony at CaSas Grandes Relia ble de- spatches today indicated that the 800 American there are safe. These despatches gave credit to Carranza forces about Casas Grandes for put ting up a front which stopped Villa from making his proposed rad on the Americans
 Today's information strongly in- dicated that the bandit leader, With his supply of swift horses is again on the move. Information concerning his movem ents were closely guarded.
 Casas Grandes is about 100 miles due south of the point where th4 col umn of General Pershing entered MeXicO yesterday.

RUNAWAY MARKET
 IN STEEL TRADE
Prices Vary According to DeliV-
 cry and Manufacturers
The Iron Age says today:

The Iron Age says today:
 Any last vestige of doubt as to the runaway character of the steel mar ket is being swept out of the way. Prices reach new danger levels With each week, but demand does not halt on that account; it rather grows. And all the time it is harder to locate the market, $5 a ton difference in quota tions on the same material being common.
 Here is one large steel producer the largest of all--naming prices on some froms of finished steel for de- livery through next year; another is out of the market entirely; a third is selling for the first half of this year but unwilling to quote for the second half; still another puts it's price on plates, shapes and bars at $500 for any delivery, thinking to reduce the pressure of new business.
 The Steel Corporation has put out 2.75c., Pittsburgh, for plates, 2.50c for shapes and 2.35c for bars, as the prices it is quoting on steel for car and vessel work, deliveries running through 1917. On the other hand are makers who refuse to book so far ahead, considering that in the old way no price would be proof against revision when the turn comes
 Railroads have no fears about buying rails for next year at half the price of bars, with assurance of de- sired rollings thrown in. Such cor- tracts include 9O,O0O tons placed at Chicago, including 5O,000 tons for the St. Paul, and 2O.OO0 tons and 15,OOO tons for other roads. For 1917 rolling at Ensley the l.. & N. has ordered T Francisco 1000 tons.
 Railroad bridge work is also an important factor. and the weeks rolling stock contracts have been good-about 4,5OO cars and PTS To- comotives. There is foreign inquiry for about 25.000 cars
 The pig-iron movement has more than borne out predictions of late February. Chicago and the East which were slow in starting, have rolled up heavy volume, while in northern Ohio there has been some subsistence. Foundry iron prices have advanced, though unevenly. At Chi cago malleable pig iron has gone to $19.50, while No. foundry is $18.50. At Buffalo 75.OO0 tons is under in quiry, including 30,00O tons of Bess- emer. Chicago buying has amounted to 175 900 tons in March. The melt of foundry iron is increasing in all districts.
 At Pittsburgh buying of basic iron has increased, three lots of the week being 1S,OO0, 15,00O and 12,000 tons. Furnaces are now asking S1S.50, Val ley, but S18.25, and as low as SIS, I was done in the recent buying. One steel company has bought 10000 tons of Bessemer at something less than S21, and is in the market for 50,- 900 to 60,000 tons more.
 There is thus far none of the tension in pig iron that has long been seen in the steel end of the market, nor are there signs of famine condi- tions, so called, though the upward tendency of prices continues.

It is understood that the Oregon man will come east in d few weeks in regard to the matter.

PREPAREDNESS IN
 UNITED STATES NAVY
Rear Admiral Benson Tells What Sea Force is Doing to Be Ready for
 Any Emergency.

Washington, March 16-Rear Ad- miral Benson, chief of naval opera tions, today told the house naval committee in minute detail of the preliminary work of preparing the navy for an emergency.
 The naval militia, he said, was being brought constantly into closer touch with navy ideas; merchant ves- sels were under inspection to deter mine what private craft would be inn m mediately available in case of war and each naval bureau was informed exactly as to what it would have to do with these vessels.
 Repairs which would make them effective would last from a few days to several weeks, he added.
 The navy was working, Admiral Benson testified, on mobilization, or ganization, strategic and supply plans for quick action should it become necessary to strike promptly. The mobilization plan, he said. had been approved; the organization plan had been worked out but was not yet finally approved; the strategic plan was being evolved and war games were being played but fully satis- factory general plan had not yet been perfected.
 Because of the expense. local com- petitions for sites, and other factors, Admiral Benson continued, the base plan was still under advisement. Great progress, the admiral said, had been made in the communication service and a plan had been perfect ed for complete control of radio communication.

Pcrshing Reports all Well.
Army Numbers AbOI1t ! GOO

Columbus, N. M., March 16.-Briga- G1er General John J. Pershing, com mahder of the expedition, accom- panied the force as far as the border and then returned, and with another part of the troops entered Mexico on the flank of the main army.
 Despite rigorous censorship, which closed all telephone and telegraph wires to military movements, it be- came known that the number which entered Mexico is about 5000. Aero planes are believed to have passed in with the expedition in motor trucks. Flying conditions owing to the clear ness of the atmosphere, are ideal.
 Troops Leave With Shout
 When General Pershing gave the order to march at 10 o'clock yester- Gay morning, the soldiers swept for ward with a shout. Cowboys off the ranges, enrolled as scouts, and 'cavalry led the way The infantry regiments, some field artillery and a " dgon train followed
 The departure was as business like aS practice march. A long, hay line of alkai dust, standing out against the dull white of the plains and the blazing light of the sun marked their progress toward the border.
 Colonel Slocum met Colonel Da- villa, of the Mexican forces, who promised that no resistance would be made to crossing the border. The en- tire Mexican population in Palomas, soldiers and civilians, with one ex- eeption, cleared away when the Americans passed through the town. The censor has asked all correspon- dents filing by mail not to disclose military movements or details as to numbers of troops, saying that to make public questions Of such mili- tary importance might mean @ loss of American lives This applied only to mail matter, as not even the gen. eral facts of the crossing have been allowed to go over the telegraph wires, which are under military con- tro1.
 The column leaving Columbus has thoEoughly equipped for all conditions that might arise, and represented all arms of the service.
