More Troops For Border Guard Are Urged Obre- gon Arranges For Another Conference With Gen. Scott at Which Protocol May Be Signed.

W WdouI1SCOu, Mdy o-A new American expedition may al- ready be across the Mexican, border in pursuit of the bandits who raided Glenn Springs and Alpine, Texas, last week.
 Secretary Baker said today he had received a report from General Funston as to steps taken in that direction but de- clined to reveal it's contents.
 He said General Funstop's original orders still stood, how ever, and they gave him au- thority to cross whenever the need arose.
 No additional report of the raid had reached the department at the time. On the, basis of consular despatches yesterday, however, Secretary Lansing has forwarded a report to the Mexican de facto government calling attention to the latest bandit activities along the border. No specific request was made for disposition of Carranza troops to better protect the border but state de- partment officials said it was assumed that prompt pursuit of the raiders a.1- ready had been ordered by General Obregon, the Mexican war naslaisters or, his subordinates.
 It was believed possible some EaetI- cd of direct cooperation for the ex- termination or, capture of the Glenn Springs raiders might result from the conference today between Generals Scott and Obregon at Fl Paso. The conferees met yesterday for the pur- pose of working out the final form of the agreement they have reached re garding the border situation, but news of the Glenn Springs incident and un- confirmed rumoEs of other raids caus- ed delay. General Scott reported to Secretary Baker that after the meeting today he expected the agreement would be completed in the light of these most recent happenings.
 The war department has heard in formally that General Carranza ap- proved the Scott Obregon plan with the minor exceptions, but what is not satisfactory has not stated. It was hoped here the whole matter would be disposed of today by the conferees. There is no indication at the war de- partment that steps were in contem- plation to increase the border forces because of the Glenn Springs incf- dent. Secretary Baker would not say whether General Funston had made now recommendation on this ques- ] ton. It is known that the calling of a portion of the National Guard to aid in the border patrol is not now under consideration.
 Army officers have feared soma such oceurEence as that at Glenn Springs since it became necessary to break up the border guard at var ious towns and ranches. They be- lieve it dangerous to leave a few men isolated from larger commands in positions where they might be ex- posed to attack by considerable mum bers of raiders. It is understood that company commanders in several in 1 stances have urged that their com
 nands be held together for protec- ton and so placed as to be able to hurry to any attacked or threatened point.

been reduced and Resta cannot be
beaten, there being no other driver
anywhere near the first two.
Rcsta thus will take down the Bosch
trophy and $4,000 in cash, and also
the lions share Of the Goodrich Com
pany prize of $4,000 for the racing
championship leaders. 1t is appropri-
ate enough that Resta should get the
Goodrich prize because he used Silver
town cord tires throughout the sea-
son. Il would have been sort Of un-
pleasant for the Goodrich Company to
have had 10 give the money 70 Aiken,
for he and the other members OF the
indianapolis contingent all used Good
year cord tires.
Incidentally, these Goodyear cords
gave a FLIP to racing interest this
season, for they broke the drivers
into two camps, and the sensational
run of victories by Aitken on these
tires especially his triumphs on New
York in the Aston Cup and Hardness
Trophy races, called direct attention
70 the racing qualities of these cas-
ings, until then almost unheard of in
the contest field.

manufactured during the year The Census

RESTA IS RACING
CHAMPION OF 1916

From all that can be learned, follow
ing the Grand Prize automobile, last
Saturday. at Santa Monica, no one but
Dario Resta has n chance TO win the
title of champion racing driver for
1916. no matter how the Ascot race on
THANKSGIVING Day comes out. When
the drivers went West for the Wander
bilt Gun. run two days before the Grand
Prize. Johnny Aiken was in the lead
hut not by much. Resta won the Van
derbilt race. with Aitken failing TO
finish. and that gave Resta comforta-
bic lead.
In the Grand Prize race, Resta again
failed to finish, but Aitken, after his
car had given out, took the seat IN
Wilcox's car and drove that TO victory
Apparentlv the members of the Indian
apolis Speedway team, to which belong
Aiken, Wilcox. Calvin, Lewis, Hender-
son and Rickenbacker, had the idea that
points counted 10 any member Of the
team for driving into first place, and
that Aitken would get credit Tor ms
proporticnatc number Of laps driven
That is. if he drove half the race, and
the points were 1000, he would get half
that number.
But the contest BOARD OF the AlItIl-
can Automobile Association ruled that
IL was unfair for Aiken TO have more
than one chance 70 win the race, where
Resta was limited. by reason Of having
one car only, TO a single chance. Fur
thcrmore. il was stated that like de-
cision he'd been rendered earlier in the
wear at indianapolis, where a switch Of
drivers was made between Henderson
and Rickenbacker. Henderson was re-
lieved by Rickenbacker after the lat
ter's car fell out, but the only one to
get points was Henderson, who for the
part he drove got q credit Of % points.
II the American Automobile Associa-
tion is giving credit 20 drivers only,
the ruling appears TO be that driver
must stick to one car and finish the
race in the car in which he started IN
order 20 earn points.
After Saturdays race. in view Of the
contest board ruling, Resta had 400
points, and Aitken 5,4i0 points. Orig
inally. the Ascot race was carded 20 be
200 miles. for which a total OF 500
points goes 10 the winner. This has
been reduced in distance because
the A. a. A. rules do not permit races

But much would depend on how ofteu

more, ought a car bought late in the
