Believed CarrnnZaists Will Join Villa
 COLUMBUS, N. M., March 15.-It is becoming more and more appar- ent that the Carranza troops on the Mexican side of the border near are to be of no use in the capture of Will la. The outlaw is gaining followers every hour, large number of the sol diers deserting and enlisting with the outlaw leader. Even the officers, it Is believed, are secretly in sympathy with him, and in the event the United
 States troops cross the border, it is not unlikely that officers and soldiers alike would join Villa in repelling the attack. ,

TICKET A REPRESENTATIVE ONE
Seven Names Picked to Go Before Voters on Platform of Business and No NOnsense-Au Favor Square Deal and No Alliances.
For Town Council: {:

CHARLES CRAWFORD. A. J. MEALS.
 A. J. DIMOND.
 ANTON CARLSON.
 RUSSELL HERMANN.
 This ticket is up to you, voters of Valdez. All but one or two of tho
 men named have agreed to run if they can be assured of the support of
 the majority of the taxpayers of the town. They will run on a platform
 calling for strict economy in public expenditures. They win favor aboli-
 tion of unnecessary positions, if any
 exist, and minimum salaries for of ices with little work attached. Their
 program will be to reduce the muni- cipal debt as rapidly as possible with
 out cripp1ing municipal administra- ition. For the school board Mrs. fl. B.
 selby has been urged to become a
 candidate by large number of resi- dents with children in the schools.
 The suggestion of her name has met
 with general approval and only her
 own consent is required to put her in
 the race.
 Interest in the city election has heen aroused earlier than usual. Bus mess men and taxpayers have been discussing the merits of possible can- |d.dates for several weeks and the "even men named have survived the process of elimination. Men who
 would make good members of the lcity council because they know how to run their own business took them- selves out of the list of possible can- didates because of their activity in previous political contests. It is the wish of business men and property owners generally to have . town council that will conduct city affairs strictly as a business matter, with no political buncombe mixed in. The ticket named carries that assur- ance in its personnel.

Administration Rushing Preparations WASHINGTON, March 16.-Om-
 cials of the war department are
 working night and day making prep arations for the movements of troops
 into Mexico for the purpose of cap
 turing and killing Villa. While se-
 crecy Is the order of the day in mili-
 tary post in the country to have the
 men in readiness for an immediate start in case of necessity. It is also
 known that rush orders for very
 large amounts of provisions, ammu-
 milton and supplies have been placed for immediate shipment to points along the border. This would seem
 to indicate that in military circles at
 least, that there is believed to exist a possibility of more extended cam paign that the pursuit of Villa would
 necessitate. It is argued about the
 Capitol that Carranza Is too deeply in debt to the United States for the position he now holds to make more than a mere formal protest against
 the invasion of his, country, but on the other hand it Is said that his fear for his own safety at the hands of his people if he does not make an armed
 resistance if the American troops are
 sent across the border, may stir him up to almost an action to protect him. self.

FL PASO, March 15.-It is re ported here, and the story is believed to be authentic, that United States troops crossed the border into Mex leo last night in pursuit of Villa. ! Official information on this point, however, is denied, a strict censor ship of all military movements pre- vailing at all points along the bor- Ger. No doubt prevails that the first expedition has started, as the camps for the past two days have been the scene of greatest activity as hurried preps1 ations were made for the de- partdre of the troops. It is expected
 that the second expedition will get away tonight. ::

AG|TATORS AMONG MINERS ARE ACTIVE Very Little Activity Noted in Buying-No Recession
 in Prices

Cleveland, June 21-(Special)- Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say: Per sistent efforts of buyers of finished ma terials to obtain concessions as to prices even for immediate delivery are becom- ing much less frequent, but there seems to be no probability that prices will re- cede below 2.50 Pittsburg on shapes and bars, and 2.75 Pittsburg on plates, the quotations which have been made for sometime for delivery at convent ence on mills. Quotations on sheets still show irregularity, but high prices of sheet bars make further recessions very i'm probable
 The activity of I. w. w. agitators among iron ore miners on the Mesabi Is causing some anxiety. A vast majority of the men are satisfied with conditions, and many of the 12OO to 150O who are idle, would like to return to work, but are being intimidated and operators are pursuing firm policy toward trouble makers.
 Activity in buying pig iron for export, including 3O,0O0 tons for Italy, raKen py SchuylkiI Valley company, has re- lieved what is otherwise very dull market. The American Steel foundry has placed an order for 10000 tons basic at SIS. Val ley and outlook for revival of buying of

There are Al banks in England, each of which carries deposits in excess of ESQ., 100000. The comptroller of the currency, John Skelton Williams, reported early in the spring 48 American banks which carried deposits each in excess of $25,- OOOOOO
 The greatest of American banks carries approximately $500, 100000 in deposits, but is $200, 900 behind the Bank of England in that respect. There are in England seven banks each of which carries de- posits in excess of s270 O,0Oo The strik- ing feature of these deposits is that, as is the case in the United States, they show increases. The increase in the de- posits of American banks was to con siderable extent due to the vast volume of funds which came to this country in payment for commodities bought here. In Great Britain however, the increase has been made in spite of expenditures unprecedented in the history of the world.

feel making irons is more favorable than

steel making irons is more tavoraple than for foundry irons. Southern iron con times weak, and very low prices prevail on warrants. In Buffalo district furnaces are maintaining prices pretty well. but resale iron has not yet entirely dsap- peared Very strong demand for plates continues Midvale Steel and Ordnance company has taken 10000 tons snip plates for Japan for early delivery, ana lo,oVo tons for same country are pending a snip building company on Pacific coast is ln- curing for 10000 to 1000 tons for delivery next year. and Pennsylvania railroad IS in the market for 2O,0OO tons. The govern ment will soon buy from 5000 to 6Oo0 tons for naval construction at Norfolk. East ern plate makers are still holding at from 375 to 400 Pittsburg, but lower prices frequently are made Tn central west Some contracts for boiler steel have been cancelled.
 American Bridge company has taken several important contracts for structural steel Four additional open hearth fur naces for Corrigan, Mckinney & Co.,, Cleveland will require 5000 tons When these furnaces are completed, the 1irm will have capacity of 60,0O0 tons of oper hearth steel per month. Carnegie Steel company has placed contracts with Amer ican Bridge company for several steel barges to carry coal to by-product coke oven plants now being built at Clairton This contract involves about 120O0 tons of steel. American Bridge company has also received a contract for 4O00 tons o1 bridge material for Pennsylvania lines west of Rittsburg for bridge over Beaver river at Rochester, Penn. Sales of Bes- semer shapes for early delivery are be- ing made at S2.50 Pittsburg.
 Buying of steel during the past 10 days has been extremely heavy. Total book ings of one company placed by foreign and domestic munitions makers amounted to nearly 100000 tons. Placing of some contracts for forgings have been delayed on account of inability to obtain steel The Russian government has virtually closed on it's inquiry for 800 to 1000 loco motives.
 Although distribution has not been de finitely made. it is expected that 400 each will be awarded to American and Baldwin companies and 100 each to two other builders. Domestic demand for rolling stock and rails is very light.

ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW

From another point Of view, It IS req soned that Germany has abundant re- sources not only of her own but also those which Belgium provides those which are to be found in that part of France where the German armies are now maintaining themselves and also in Russian Poland. In these countries a vast amount of raw material can be op- tained and a good deal of food.
 It is therefore from the economic point of view that the opinion is expressed that the war will not be ended until at least another year has passed. This is of some importance to American financial inter- ests because the longer the war be con tinued the more frequently the United States will be called upon for financial assistance in the form of loans or credit. There is no doubt that Germany could borrow in the United States if the terms were satisfactory, for the American bankers are wholly impartial in their consideration of international financing propositions. The only consideration in wolves terms and security.
 CONDITION IN ENGLAND
 A few days ago Edward D. Adams pointed to the very heavy expenditures Great Britain is making, averaging a hundred and fifty million dollars a week, purely for war purposes All of this money is destroyed. It is either burned up. blown up, or eaten up. It creates no new wealth. In the opinion of MT Adams and others of high financial au- thority, this is the vita, financial fact Tor Great Britain to consider, especially when contemplating the continuation of the war. Enormous as is this expenditure, MT. Adams and others are confident that Great Britain will be fully able to meet it without serious disturbance for long time to come. These men base their opinion upon authoritative facts they have recently obtained which show the financial strength of Great Britain.
 A year ago. shortly after the return of Henry P Davison from London, he said that some opportunity had been fur nished him to gain an idea of the finan- cial strength of Great Britain, and the revelation then made to him was one which fairly staggered the imagination. It was sufficient to show that from the financial point of view Great Britain is able to meet all of the eme' gencies oc- casioned by the war and greatly to aid Russia and France.
 It is curious fact that both in Ger many and in Great Britain the leading banks have increased their resources and augmented their strength since the Euro pean war began. The Imperial Bank Of Germany, which is the Deutsche of Ber- lin, never made a better report than 1t did for the year 1915. That is true also of the English banks. Their combined as- sets at the end of 1915 were $S.50O, 900.
