Funston and Mexico

If # &c true that Cen Scott sent to San
Antonio &C renorted to ask Gen. Funston to recon-
mend that the troops be pulled out of Mexico he failed
20 a messenger from his commander in chief The re-
MORT in army circles says that Gen. Scott was asked
bv those higher up" to come to Texas talk with Gen
F,neton and see if the general would not recommend
the removal of the army from Mexico so the president
might do so without appearing to do it upon his own
responsibility
AouinaIdo not only refused to be made "he goat for
a1vbodv,s failures but that instead of recommending
the removal of the troops, he said he had but one re-
ouest TO make and that for troops to enable
him 70 carry out his original orders to get Villa"
The story lacks official confirmation, but sounds
as if if might not be far from fact and the answer
attributed to the little general at San Antonio sounds
INST like the answer would expect Fred Funston
TO make The man who caught Aguinaldo, who fought
with the Cubans in their struggle against the
Spanards for liberty is not the sort Of man. who for
the friendship even of president, would recommend
giving I'D an expedition at time when all the world
would look upon us with laughter and Mexico would
view the action as one of weakness if not of fear
Funston is the to do the job if president Wilson
wants it done if the president desires to give Up the
task of running down the bandits who raided an Amer
lean town he will have to have the recommendation
come from some else, The Herald believes

BUILD zEPpEuNS TO

Captain Koenig Says Germany

Baltimore, Nd, July 14.-Super-Zep-
pelins, capable of carrying passengers
will probably soon be operating be-
tween Germany and the United States,
Captain Koenig of the German subma-
rine Deutschland intimated today.
"We are building such Zeppelins, "
he said, "and they are large enough to
hold 40 passengers"
"Will they come heref" he was
asked.
''They might he answered with a
knowing smile.

months before it arrived chimed in
Hilken significantly, "but didn t tell
all about it. But you can say that the
Zeppelins may come"
"Will they carry freight" Koenig
was asked.
"No, just passengers. We're max.
ing quite few of these Zeppelins all

Previously Koenig had suggested
strongly to Baltimore city officials that
the airline is in contemplation.
"Quite an idea, isn't it--ships under
the sea and passenger fliers above the

interview.
The sub.sea freighter Deutschland 's
dash for Germany drew nearer today
Her holds were rapidly filled with nick

The hydroplane stored secretly at hei

MASSACHUSETTS HAS
MANY WEAK RECRUITS
Hasty Examination Passed
Many Weaklings Who
Give Out On Hike
By Webb @. Miller,

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Columbus, n. NJ. July i4-Bccause
of hasty physical examination before
leaving Massachusetts, the border
militiamen stationed here may have to
undergo more severe medical test.
The prospects are that this would de-
plete the ranks. Precautions are neces-
sary to weed out weaklings, who be-
come pensioners if disabled.
Several militiamen affected by the
heat during hikes dropped in their
tracks and were brought back to camp
in automobiles. Their condition is not
serious. Humidity from the recent
rain and a temperature Of 9S made the
weather oppressive.
Plans are being made for long stay
by the national guardsmen. Wooden
flooring is being constructed in the
tents and the men are building minia-
ture adobe walls around their tents to
keep out water from heavy rains. A
higher and drier camp is being pre-.
pared for the militia. Six hundred
more guardsmen are expected Saturday.
Following the rains swarms Of sand
flies have appeared to make life mis-
erable for ineautious militiaman who
shows q light in his tent at night.
A bitter protest has gone up from
New Mexico militia recruits over the
quartermaster generals order that men
who enlisted after state mobilization
were not entitled to pay until mustered
into federal service and if rejected
lose their time and money spent await
ing the physical examination. United
States Senator A. b. Fall made visit
to the base camp here to investigate
the effects of the order, with a view
to taking up the matter with Washing
ton. One man came from Kansas City
waited month for examination and
was rejected. He lost his position and
borrowed money to return.

London, July 14-British troops broke the German
line four mile front at dawn today with smashing
blow that swept the British lines into the villages of
Longueva and grand and cleared the Trones
wood an advance Of more than mile.
The gain the greatest scored for the French
offensive since the opening of the great assault thirteen
days ago.
"At dawn we attacked the enemy's second system of
defense" said an official bulletin from Genenal Hag,
given out at II a. M We broke in hostile positions
four mile 'front.' capturing several strongly defended
localities. Heavy fighting continues"
Special dispatches from press headquarters at the
front announced the capture of Longva Basentin-e-
grand and the clearing of the Trones wood in the early
hours of the fighting The blow struck at the very
sector of the battle front where the Germans had
sembled their heaviest bodies of reinforcements The
early bulletins though very meager indicated that one
of the greatest battles of the allied offensive is being
waged in the wooded region northeast Of Albert.
The British advance apparently was in the direction
of Martinpuch heights and the plateau dominating the
road leading to Bapaume the immediate objective OF the
British attack.
The village of Longueva lies at the intersection of the
Bapaume-Bray and Alberto Combes highways and not
seven miles southwest of Bapaume Bazentin-le- grand
lies Immediately east of Contaason, whose capture by
the British was admitted at Berlin yesterday and slight
ly northwest of TrOnes wood.

VILLA DEMANDS
SURRENDER|NG Of
CHIHUAHUA CITY
Threatens to Advance On City
If His Demand Is Not
Obeyed
4
WILL KILL TREVINO AND
ALL OF HIS OFFICERS
rrevillo Changes His Mind
and Allows Supply Train
to Pass

El Paso, Texas, July 14.-yilla has
demanded the surrender of chihuahua
City, according to well founded but
unofficial report here today.
General George Bell, Jr., commander
at Fort Bliss, stated that he received
reliable information Of the detection
of General Trevino, commandant in
Chihuahua City from the Carranza
government.
Bell has also heard the reports Of
Villas demand for the surrender Of
the Chihuahua capital but had not re-
ceived confirmation.
Villa is said to have informed Tre-
vino that if the city was not turned
over to the Villistas they would ad-
vance against the capital with their
entire army. Villa threatened Trevino
and all mis- officers with death in. case
OF capture, according to the rumor.
General Bell would not. discuss the
possibility that Trevino's reported de-
fection meant the surrender OF Chi
huahua City to Villa.
Trevino today revoked his orders to
detain railroad shipments Of supplies
through Juarex to the American ex-
pedition in Mexico. a train Of 81 ears
Of provisions was allowed to go to
Colonia Dublan. Trevin gave no ex-
planation of his previous orders which
led to charges that his policy was in
keeping with the new Villista move
ment to bring on war with tho United
States and overthrow Carranza IN
northern Mexico.
This is the "grave news declared
on the best authority to have been
transmitted to Washington and reflect
ed in the large concentration OF mill
tia here. With the arrival of 800
Massa chusetts militia recruits from
Pennington today there were 24,0o0
national guardsmen in the FL Paso dis
trict. Other state contingents order
ed to FL Paso will bring the total to
$4,000, it is believed.
Government agents have been in
structed from Washington to be ON the
lookout against aid going to Villa from
the United States. Former Villistas
are under close surveillance. Steps
have been taken to prevent smuggling
of arms and ammunition across the
Big Bend border. General Beii said
today more militia probably would Do
moved there shortly.
