1t was learned today that there is
a regular exodus of Mexican railroad
hands leaving this country for their
home country, though it seemed very
questionable whether they were leav-
ing through fear or in desire to be
in Mexico in case of war.
For two or three days it has been
noticed that there is an unusually
heavy traffic of Mexicans through the
valley southwark, but it was not un-
til today that this was explained.
Most of the laborers on the rail-
roads throughout the Southwest are
Mexicans, and they seem to be very
generally quitting their work, while
numerous, Mexicans in other lines of
labor are joining in the movement.

All Southern Arizona, New

Appealing to President
Wilson for Protection.

San Antonio, March 16.-Mu-
inequalities in Arizona and New
Mexico are frantically appealing
fer protection, and General Fun
ston has pointed out to the COVER
nors that they must make their
appeals to Washington. He re-
CARDS the border situation as
acute.
Opposite Douglas, Ariz., the
situation is serious. Governor
Gales men are aggressively an
ti-American, and the Carranza Of
ficers' control over the men will
decide the outcome.
A wireless message from Cen
eral Pershing is being decoded.
Funston said it contained no re-
port of fighting, and the only word
from Pershing outlined the forces
at his disposasl.
Funston reported today that
much larger forces will soon en-
ter Mexico.

A son Of Mormon Bishop
Hurst has arrived in Ell PasO and
reports that the Casas Grandes

Funston Considers the Border Situation Acute

San Antonio, March 16.-The Texas,
Arizona and New Mexican militia will
soon be ordered to the border, it is
reliably stated at Fort Sam Houston.
Army headquarters are jubilant
over the success in starting two col
umns into Mexico without opposi-
ton.
General Funston stated today that
General Pershing has reported that
the attitude of tn, Carranzista troops
is all that could be asked for They
are taking positions by the side of
Americans in dangerous scouting
work. He says that; Villas hope of
Carranzista defections has been
foiled.
1t is known that number of Mex
leans are acting as guides through
the wilderness which is being ira
versed, and which, for a considerable
distance is dessert, the only trail being
one used for years by smugglers, and
which leads through an almost unin-
habited country. Beyond lie the noun

trench warfare continues, but if they
can drive the British and French out

The Italians, after a violent bonn

NEW CHEVROLET
ARRIVES HERE

Three minutes after arriving in Ell
Centre yesterday George E. Bradley,
managing representative of the Chew
rolet agency at San Diego, was ar
rested for speeding in one of the
company's new "four-ninety" ma
chimes. City Recorder Whitelaw made
monetary assessment on Mr.. Brad
ley, which was paid.
Mr.. Bradley is enthusiastic over the
new model Chevrolet and gladly gave
the Press an interview on the merits
of the machine. Mr.. Bradley said:
"The Chevrolet car, the famous
"four- ninety" model that has swep
everything before all over the country
in performance and sales the past {
months, arrived here after an 8-houl
lun rom San Diego Wednesday. Thc
new, light, graceful badly and 7-year-
cid Mason engine creates sensation
wherever shown, and sales have re-
suited to such a extent that Pacific
Coast factory at Oakland with ca
pacity of 5000 cars became necessary.
1t is under way, the first one west Of
Missouri, working night and day, and
will soon be complete, and the heavi-
est stock of parts will be on hand for
the benefit of owners and agents.
Parts will be sold about on the same
basis as the lowest priced car on the
market"

May Ask For the Militia
For Guard on This Line

Announcement by wire today that
the militia of Texas, New Mexico
and Arizona will be called out to CO.
operate with the standing army on
the international line raises the ques-
tion whether the same should not be
done here with the California militia.
The attitude of Governor Cantu Of
Lower California as regards this
country is not in any sense menacing,
and is even friendly, but in case there
should be a raid of banditti across
the line into the mountains to the east
of the valley, there would be little or
no protection for residents Of that
section, and in case of eventualities

The Real Problem.

Ell Paso, March 16.-The great
problem that exists regarding the
movement of Americans for the cap
ture of Villa remains unsolved, and
it may require several days to deter
mine what the answer is to be-
That question is as to the relation
ship of the Mexican people to the
American expedition. Testimony is
conflicting. On the face of things,
the Carranza commanders appear very
friendly and willing to cooperate with
the Americans for the common pur-
pose of running Villa to earth. But
underneath this there is to some de-
gree an antipathy on the part of the
Mexicans that crops out occasionally,
and which may or may not gain the
ascendancy.
Imperial Valley press., 1916-03-16

colonists at Nacozari and Torreon are
fleeing toward the border, and there
is disposition among all Americans
in northern Mexico to get out of that
country, not so much because of any
eventualities to date, but through fear
Of what may come. 1t is a common
report of those reaching the border
of receiving insults on the way from
,Carranza's followers, while there are
numerous reports of depredations by
Mexicans claiming to be adherents of
Villa. Consul Williams Of Torreon
has wired the state department that
practically all Americans have left
there.
Ell Paso dispatches have confirmed
the reports that Villistas have killed
five Mexican employees of an Ameri-
can-owned ranch at Corralitos.
San Diego, March 16-The destroy
er Stewart, which has arrived at En-
senada to act as j wireless ship for
the transmission of government mes
sages to the troops, reported today
that conditions are quiet.
Ell Paso, March 16-Although on the
surface the Mexican side of the border
was unperturbed today, government
agents, through numerous sources,
watched closely for signs of any seri
Gus feeling behind occasional rumors
that Mexicns were dissatisfied.
Hachita, N. M, March 16.-Large
numbers of men who know the in
terror of Chihuahua and Sonora as
we'll as Mexicans have presented
themselves for the dangerous work Of
to put an end to raids of
bandits under Villa. Capture, it is
believed, means death for the scouts
who precede the punitiveexpedition.
Maria, Tex, March 16.-The report
ed death of Colonel Rojas, Carranza
commander at Ojinaga, at the hands
cf his own men, who attempted to
mutiny last night, was confirmed by
telephone advices here.
Rojas was trying to control his
men, who were drinking and threat
ening to invade the United States,
when he was shot from the crowd, ac-
cording to the report.

Mexican Section Hands
Are Leaving This Country

Whether this will in degree dis
commode the employers remains to be
seen, but it is thought the railroad
will have little difficulty in securing
men of other nationality to take their
places.
So far as the laboring class is con-
cerned, it is claimed there is very
strong Villa sympathy, which is also
reported to exist, though under more
concealment, among the educated
Mexicans Immediately across the line
from here. Yet it is believed Cover
nor Cantu and his lieutenants will hold
the population in support of First
Chief Carranza, and that there is no
danger of an uprising in support Of
Villa.
Imperial Valley press., 1916-03-16

between the Carranzista government
and the United States, which is a rec
ognized possibility even yet, it would
be the duty and the natural inclina-
tion of Governor Cantu to obey orders
from his government.
There is considerable force of SOL
diers in Mexicali, variously estimated
at from 400 to 600 and having guns
for 1900 men. They are armed with
machine guns and are known to be
well supplied with ammunition.
On the American side there are
about $50 cavalry and no machine
guns or artillery. 1t probably would
be the verdict of Americans through
out the valley that there should be on
this side of the line a force equal to
that maintained on the Mexican side,
by no means as menace to Mexico,
but as a protection against any de-
velopment that may arise from the
Mexican situation.
The relationship between the state
militia and the standing army is
friendly, and undoubtedly the Cali
fornia militia would cooperate with
the standing army if called on by the
latter to do so.
AS the chase after Villa extends in
to Mexico, a greater number of men
would be required for that expedi-
tion, and by placing the guardianship
of the border in this region in the
hands of the militia considerable
number of men could be released to
Join the expedition.
The state soldiers represent all the
departments of army organization, and
are amply capable, with cavalry, ar
tillery and infantry, to police the bor-
Ger.
As this is to be the program in the
other border states, it is not unlikely
that it will be adopted as regards Cal
ifornia, and it would give the militia
touch of actual camp life that
would be a fine training for them.
The militia will be used for pro.
tecting Brownsville, Laredo, Preside
Douglas, Tucson, Bisbee and other
communities A call for them is pos
sible before the week ends.

Recruiting for Army.

San Francisco, March 16.-Many re-
cruits authorized by Congress to bring
the army to war strength will be re-
cruited in California. Offices will be
opened in Sacramento, Bakersfield
Fresno, Stockton, San Jose, Santa
Rosa and Eureka, according to Colonel
John H. Gardner. The National Guard
will also be recruited to it's full
strength.
Ell Paso, March 16.-The vanguard
of the Americans who are hunting for
Villa will arrive at Guzman, sixty
miles south of Columbus, tonight. Col
onel Slocum is leading $500 troops
in the expedition, it was learned to-
day. No unfavorable developments
had been experienced by the American
troops on the entrance into Mexico,
and on the face of affairs the Car
rama officers and soldiers all seem
disposed to cooperate with the Amer
leans.

storned the trenches in East Apre-
mont fort, south of Verdun, and cap
tured number Of Germans, it is
officially announced. North of Ver-
dun it is quiet. Heavy bombardmenI
continues west of Douaumont. A
German attack on Burhaupt, in the
Vosges mountains, was repulsed.
Berlin, March l6.-Frerch attacks
on Dead Mans hill have been re-
pulsed, the war office said today. On
the rest of the Verdun front the stu
alton is unchanged.
Some circles believe that the resig-
nation of Admiral Won Tirpitz, given
to the Kaiser yesterday, is due to the
Kaiser's decision not to extend SUBJ
marine operations beyond the limits
announced to the neutrals.
New York, March 16.-The Battle
of Verdun no longer stands alone as
the one point of great interest in the
European war, for the actual battle
line in which heavy artillery firing
with numerous infantry chargess are
taking place, extends for more than a
thousand miles, and the quantity of
ammunition being used hourly sur
passes all comprehension.
The series of battles now under way
includes on the west the entire line
from the Swiss line to the North
sea; on the south terrific artillery
fighting between the Italians and Aus
trians on the Isonzo front, and on the
east there are numerous points of
bloody conflict all the way from East
Galicia to the Baltic. aside from
this there is in progress the great
drive of the Russians on Bagdad.
There is no longer question that the
anticipated spring offensive of the
Allies is getting under way, with a
view to preventing the further con-
centration of the Germans at Verdun.
According to the Allies, even at
that point it begins to look as though
the offense was passing from the Ger
mans to the French, while the extern
sion of the battle to the northward
has enabled the English to lend a
hand to the French in the tremendous
struggle.
The Russian army has almost
crossed the frontier in the direction
of Bagdad, according to information
from a reliable source. Another Rus
sian army is rapidly nearing Mossul,
on the Tigris.
The army which occupied Erzerum
has been divided into three columns.
One is marching toward Trebizond,
another toward Erzingan, on the Eu-
pirates, 100 miles southwest of Erze-
rum and a third on Kharput.
Another force which landed at Ina,
on the Black sea, has arrived before
Trebizond. The development planned
to take place probably has already be-
gun. All of these armies have been
considerably strengthened and sup
piled with an abundance of guns, large
masses of Cossacks and many aero
planes.
Rotterdam, March 16.-From a neu-
trail traveller who has returned from
Berlin a remarkable account of the
present state of feeling in Germany
has been received. Discussing the
feeling aroused by the Verdun attack,
this informant said:
"The public believes this offensive
really is an attempt to end the war.
German officers say openly that Ger
many cannot endure much longer if
