WASHINGTON, May 13.-The
Mexican situation simmered down
again today to watchful waiting.
While contraction OF the lines south
Of Columbus is practically accom-.
plished. Major Langhorne's men ap-
|p3feptiy ase on hot trail after the
5oquillas railsrs anu Carransists
soldiers are heading toward the Big
Bend county avowedly to cooperate
in running down the raiders.
II nothing untoward occurs, the
American punitive expedition hopes
to make quick clean up in policing
northern Chihuahua. Meantime,
Carranza forces are expected to pa
troll the Parral district. Hope Of
catching Villa apparently Is not
great.
The one great question OF army
men is whether Carranza garrisons
can be kept in check after it is
known the punitive expedition re-
fuses to quit Mexico. Privately, Off
cials say that conditions below the
Rio Grande are such that there may
be real trouble at any time.
New light on conditions is ex-
pected from Gen. Scott, nov en-
route here following his failure to
reach agreement with Cen. Obregon.
His information will be used for
guidance, but for the present will not
swerve the administration from its
course Of staying in northern Mex
leo until II is certain that no more
border raids will occur.
As matters now stand officials
charged with handling the Mexican
problem cannot be said to be pes
simistic. They are merely keeping
a watchful eye on developments,
with the realization that while the
situation has unpleasant possibil-
tiles. the American work may go on
without any hindrance.
Mexican Ambassador Arredondo Is
expected 10 undertake soon negotia-
tions looking toward troop with
drawal, hut his task according to
persistent statements, will be hope

(Stdf Correspondent United Press)
THE HAGUE, May 1S.-Severe
punishment war meted out TO the
commander of the German subma-
riue which attacked the Sussex, II
Is generally believed In well in
formed circles In Berlin, though no
official report on the nature of the
punishment has been made public.
This belief is based largely on the
Indignation felt in Germany over
the U-bcat commanders deception.
His report was implicitly believed
until the American government pre-
sented conclusive evidence showing
that the channel packet was torpe-
doed In view OF this evidence Ger
mans feel they were put in a rather
hulniliating position. II is not over
stating the case to say that the sub

The German government, desiring
to avoid O. break with America at
all costs, has taken two important
steps In the past fortnight to i'm

nations.

submarine matter was one. A quiet

San Antonio Tex-All the units of
the Wisconsin National Guard at last
are reunited. With the arrival of the
Third regiment and the hospital corps,
the last of the Badger troops to get
away from Camp Douglas, the entire
body of state troops is encamped here
within marching distance of the border.
The Wisconsin infantry brigade was
welcomed here with open arms by the
members of Troop A and Battery A,
who were on the ground for a week or
more before any other troops from the
badger state reached San Antonio. The
cavalry and artillery boys We're grow
ing homesick, but the arrival of the
other Wisconsin troops, who brought
news and messages from home did
much TO put new life into the badger
soldiers already on the ground here.
The infantry regiments arriving here
from Camp Douglas found their camp
already prepared for them, and they
lost no time in getting settled in their
new quarters. A bathing house had
been erected for the Wisconsin brigade,
and other arrangements had been made
for the comfort of the men before they
arrived.

Thanks to the presence of mind ex-
hibited by the engineer of a switch en-
CINE near Fort Worth, Tex, the second
division of the First regiment, WiscOn-

The Guardsmen narrowly escaped
being mixed up in what might have

l2-HOUR FIGHT
Carranza Forces Defeated in
Southern Chihuahua.
FIRST CHEF GUSTS TREvINo
General Reported TO Have Imprisoned
officer Sent to Succeed Him as
Commander GO Troops in
Northern Mexico.

FL Paso, Tex, July 14.-Reports TO
the American military officials here in
dicate that Pancho villa has complete
ly routed the Carranzista forces in
southern Chihuahua after l2-hour
fight, which ended at noon.
This information was received
through reliable American mining
companies who have large interests in
the vicinity of Parral.
Gen. Francisco Gonzales, the Car
rama commander at Juarez, and Con
sui Andres Garcia said they had been
unable to get an official report of the
battle. The silence is accepted as
significant by the American army OH
Gals. II is not the custom of the Mex
leans to report defeat.
Strife within the ranks of Carranza
commanders is indicated in report
received here to the effect that Gen.
Jacinto Il. TrevinO, commander IN
chief Of all troops in the state of Chi
huahua and northern Mexico, has been
deposed by order of Minister of War,
Aware Obregon, and Gen. Ignacio En-
riquez, former civil governor of the
state Of Chihuahua. appointed in his
place.
General Enriquez is now four days
overdue at chihuahua City, having
started north about week ago from
Mexico City with his commission. In
connection with his failure to arrive,
General Trevino has given out story
of the fact that Enriquez was cap
tured and executed by Villistas ut
Diaz. the first station nLrth of Jimi-
nez on the Mexican Central railroad.
This story is disputed and an inves-
tigation is said to be under way to as
certain if Enriquez has not been
placed in Jail at Torreon by order Of
Trevino.
By the same order of General Obre-
gon. Trevino has been appointed mil
itary commander af the states Of
Nueva Leon and Tamaulipas, in north
eastern Mexico, a post, it is said, to
which he does not aspire. All the APP
pointees of Trevino are also said TO
be removed by the war chiefs order,
including those of Gen. Francisco Con
zales at Juarez and Gen. Luis Her
rera at Parral. Both of these generals
are to accompany Trevino to his new
field.

Notes From Badgers Camp.

Every precaution is being made to
keep Camp Wilson in a healthful con-
dition, although the task is much
harder than at Camp Douglas.
Battery A expects to get four addi-
tional caissons and "a more horses in
the event that the organization is
called for duty on the border.
Troop A has two mascots-a cat and
a dog. Both pets wandered into the
camp. But the animals are so playful
that the troopers will not part with
them.
Or. G. I. Hogue detailed to look
after the health of the troopers, re-
ceived heavy sweater from a Mil
waukee friend. Now, according to
prevalent atmosphere, a sweater is
about as useful in Fort Sam Houston
as a fansin Alaska, but the doctor says

GERMAN U-BOAT
ARRIVES IN U. S.
Brings Small Cargo of Chemicals and
Dyestuffs-Was Chased by
Warships.

Baltimore, Nd, July IL. - The
German merchant supersubmarin<
Deutschland has arrived in Chesa-
peake bay.
The boat carries no passengers. Her
cargo consists of $50 tons of dyestuffs
and chemicals.
The diver also carries a message
from Emperor William to President
Wilson and a large amount of mail,
and is to carry back home a similar
amount of nickel and crude rubber,
sorely needed by the German army.
She is commanded by Captain Koe-
mig and has crew of % men. Both
captain and crew are drawn from the
German merchant fleet and not from
the navy. The craft is unarmed and
is being treated by the United States
Ike any other merchant ship.
II is said that she submerged when
ever she saw any vessel, on the chance
that it might be warship. The Eng
lish government was not among those
who regarded the transatlantic SUBJ
mersible as a joke, and the report is
that the Deutschland ~as chased for
80 hours by English and French war
ships She submerged and eluded them
by travelling out of ner course 500
miles.
l.ecause she was forced to make this
detour she has the record for subma-
rine distance travel.
Washington, July 13. - On the
strength Of advice from navy experts
who inspected the Deutschland on
Tuesday at Baltimore the treasury de-
partment informed the state depart
ment that the German merchant SUBJ
marine is an unarmed freight carrier
which could not be converted for Of
fensive use without extensive struc-
tural changes"

Boys Becoming housewives"

Some mothers would be surprised If
they were to see the manner in which
their boys are developing into house
wives" A walk down the company
streets when the boys are at ease
would convince you of this. On one
side can be seen George Gallun with
a thimble, needle and thread mending
his socks and underwear. Nearby can
be seen Bradlee Vana Brunt bending
over a pan of water washing out his
army shirt. Then walking on a little
farther one comes upon Edward
Thwaites seated on the ground, peel
ing potatoes. He uses economy, too,
for army regulations won't stand for
any waste. Nearby is Trooper Mels'
enheimer hammering steaks and get
ting them ready for the frying pan.
Every soldier carries a housewife
meaning sewing kit--and is obliged
to do his own mending.
