 Marching slowly on account of the wagon trains, the head of the first column did not enter the base camp here until Monday at noon. after a march of 157 miles from Columbus. The machine gun troops of the 18th cavalry the wagon trains and other units lost altogether 12 mules. The second or flying column, which under General Pershing's personal com mand, made the dash from Cumbert- sons ranch lost three mules. The transport animals of the latter, how ever, were more lightly burdened.
 First View of Country.
 General Pershings cavalry escort crossed the boundary at 3:17 o'clock Thursday morning, March 16. It was a brilliant moonlight night and freez- ing cold, but the brisk cavalry trot kept the men warm.

 Old Historic Site.
 The negro cavalrymen and SOL diers of the artillery, hospital units and field radio outfits that had pre- ceded the escort were encamped on the sides of a granite butte fronting the canyon in which Geronimo, the famous Apache warrior, made his final stand and surrendered to Amer1- can troops more than thirty years ago. These facts recalled to many ofhcers, some of the older of whom participated in the Apache campaign, With the present expedition into Mex lco had set no precedent and that bandit hunting in a foreign country of independent sovereignty was not a new thing for the United States army.
 Here on the hillside was observed for the first time the other units of the flying column, the artillery the negro cavalry and other organiza- tlons. Some of them had previously marched from Fort Huachuaca, Ari- zona, and other distant points, and such was the secrecy thrown about their movements that even the off, cers of lesser rank cd not know of their coming.

SAIL ORS IN CLASH LOSE ONE BILLION
Carranza May COnfiscate U. s.
Interests i'm Mexico.
Southern Republic Takes Money
From American Banks.

New York, June 19.-The Chicago
Herald obtained information of a SEN
sational character bearing upon the
attitude of the de facto government of
Mexico toward the United States.
According to this information the
authenticity of which is beyond ques-
ton, the inner circles of the Carranza
government expect war with the Unit
ed States.
In anticipation of this condition,
General Carranza a few days ago di-
rected that all funds belonging to his
government in American banks
should be transferred at once. Mexican
citizens having moneys on deposit were
appraised of the situation in order that
they might also transfer their prop
erty elsewhere
There is reason to believe by now
every dollar belonging to Mexico has
been transferred by the quick method
of exchange. There will be nothing
belonging to Mexico in this country
that the Washington government
could confiscate even supposing it de-
sired to do so.
VIII Break Treaty.
AS a matter of fact the treaty of
1884 between the United States and
Mexico specifically provides time for
the removal of enemy persons and eff
fects from one country or the other.
1t IS regarded as extremely inprob-
able however, that the Carranza gov
eminent will live up to the provisions
of the treaty That American investors
will suffer great loss in case the ex-
pected war takes place is apparent
from the fact that there is at least
1000. 100000 invested or otherwise in
use in Mexico. Vast mining interests.
oil wells, cattle, etc, may be expected
to suffer confiscation the moment war
actually begins.

FACTORIES TO AID.
Kansas War Resources Under
going an Investigation.
Civil Engineers Appointed in
Each City of State.
REcIMc At IEbVENM0RTH
BEGINS At LEAvEkWORTH
Topeka and Kansas City, Kan,
Are Next ON List.
Subject of Government Super
vision Placed Before Owners.

Resources of Kansas which could be
pressed into service in furnishing mu-
nitions and army equipment in case
of war are being investigated. On
Saturday at Leavenworth, the probe
conducted by the naval consulting
board began. when three engineers,
two living in Leavenworth and one
at Fort Leavenworth, were appointed
as an investigating board which must
gather all data concerning Ieaven-
worths factories that would be OF use
to the war department in the event OF
big war.
Leavenworth was chosen first on
account of its proximity to the big in
fantry barracks at Fort Leavenworth.
1t is believed Topeka and Kansas City,
Kan, will be the next two Kansas
cities to undergo an industrial inves-
ugation.
Big War Problem.
In Europe the most important phase
of the great war concerns the ability
of the belligerent powers to supply
guns and provisions to the men on the
firing line. And it is toward this end
that the board, composed of Thomas
A. Edison, together with several other
prominent Americans, has appointed
investigating committees throughout
the country.
The work of taking industrial in
ventorieS'' is entrusted only to well
trained engineers, who know just
what is needed by the government.
The inventory will take in almost ev-
cry foundry. machine shop and indus
try that could possibly furnish either
the army or navy with supplies. After
the general inventory is completed.
the committee will ascertain if the
owners of the various plants are will
ing to take government contracts, or
are willing to turn their plant over to
government supervision on basis of
cost plus a certain per cent of profit.
