NEWS TO WASHINGTON
General Mills Declares Militia Outfits

ton by Inspectors.

Washington, July General AL
bert l.. Mills, recently appointed to a
major generalship in charge of militia
affairs, said that he had heard nothing
about equipment for the Minnesota
guardsmen not being up to standard.
"Of course the new equipment
issued by the government is all right"
said General Mills. "As to the equip
ment formerly issued, that is in charge
of the state. 1t is inspected at regu-

u. S. READY TO USE FULL
FORCE AGAINST MEXICO
Secretary Bakers Order Reducing
Funston's Command interpreted
As Preparedness Measure.

San Antonio, July 5.-Secretary
Bakers order placing the American
army stretched along the Mexican Dor
der under three commanding officers,
reducing Major General Funston's
command to those troops on the Texas
line, was regarded here as a further
indication that the administration was
preparing to use all the forces at its
command in dealing with the Mexican
situation.
General Funston, General Bell and
General Pershing will divide the com
mand. General Funston is junior to
all of the other departmental comman-
ders who rank in the following order:
Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, eastern !;
Maj. Gen. ]. Franklin Bell, western,
and Maj. Thomas H. Barry, central.
Gen. Hugh l.. Scott, chief of staff.
Is next to Gen. Funston; Gen. Tasker
H. Bliss, assistant chief of staff, fol.
lows him and Gen. George w. Goethals
is the last on the list of seven major
generals. 1t is thought that Secretary
Baker has submitted to the President
the name of the officer he desires to
direct the Mexican operations.

Correspondents in France Say Enemy
Dares Not Transfer Single Gum
Teuton Order Found.

London, July 6.-Reuter's CORE
spondent at the press camp in France
points out that not merely 20 miles of
the main operations, but the whole 80
miles of the British are bearing their
full share of the fighting.
so Well does the enemy know this"
said the correspondent, that he dare
not transfer a single gun or man from
any part Of his defensive between the
User and the Somme to try to stem
the Southern push. From the day the
British bombardment began the knell
of German initiative was sounded"
German Order Found.
An order issued to the German
troops and found by British soldiers,
continues the correspondent, proves it
was known that the British intended
to deliver their attack on July and
it was thought that the attack would
be directed between Roye and Lillt.
This supports the reports of the
successful hoodwinking of the enemy
by the British authorities" the cor
respondent adds. The assault upon
the Gommecourt salient. though nusuc-
cessful, was one of the most gallant
feats of the entire war; mo mans
land" here was of exceptional depth
200 yards-and was covered by a ter
rife enemy fire. But on the word to
charge, our men advanced through the
Internal fire as coolly as if an maneu-
vers. Then the Germans did a gallant
thing. Getting cut into the shrapnel-
swept zone of the British artillery and
bringing machine guns with the, they
played with deadly effect, even as they
themselves were being moved down."
The correspondent further remarks:
Zone lesson of the battle which these
operations accentuate is the costly diff
ficulty of clearing up villages after
they are occupied. The enemy is al
ways found to be so strongly en-
trenched in sand-bagged buildings and
dugouts that it needs a lot of desper-
ate fighting to eXpel them"

WORLDS RICHEST WOMAN DIES
MRs.HETTY GREEN PASSES AWAY
IN NEW YORK.
Aged Mistress of Finance Was Eighty
Years of Age-Suffered Three
Strokes of Paralysis.

New York, July 5.-Mrs. Hetty
lest woman, and who was 80 years old.
died here. She had suffered three
strokes of paralysis during the past
two month and for several weeks had
been practically helpless.
Her death occurred at the home OF
her son, Col. Edward H. R. Green, at
No. West Goth Street, adjoining the
plain brick four story house at No.
on the corner of Central Park West,
where Mrs. Green had lived lately in
seclusion, except for her son and sew
eral Japanese servants and four train
ed nurses disguised as seamstresses.
Spent Time in Chair.
For several weeks past Mrs. Green
had been unable to walk and had spent
practically all of her time in a wheel
chair. The nurses occasionally lifted
her into her automobile where, propped
up by pillows and protected by furs
the mistress of finance enjoyed a few
afternoons in the park. Most OF the
time, EOwever, she sat in the wheel
chair at one of the front windows on
the parlor floor of her home and gazed
out over the park, motionless for hours
at time.
SleepIessness fastened Death.
A contributory cause of the fatal
termination of her illness was her in.
ability to sleep.
Her son, Colonel Green and her
daughter, Mrs. Mathew Aston Wilks,
who were the only children, had been
with her much of the time and it was
recently reported that Mrs. Green had
turned over all of her financial affairs
to her sons charge.
Wall Streets estimate of Mrs.
Green's fortune range from $4,000, 900
to $100,0O0,0O0. Officials of the Chem
ical National bank, in which Mrs.
Green once made her downtown head
quarters, declined to hazard a guess
concerning the size of her estate.

Berlin, July 5.-Prince Won Buelow
asserts that Germany must have some
thing more than pre-war conditions

to Germany.
Declaring that Germany will have
to reckon after the war with the bit
