his men that he would return at the
end of three months and give them
some news that would make them
throw their hats into the air with joy,
according to reports brought to the

At any rate, say the passengers. no
one knows where Villa is, and Off
GERS of the de facto government army
say they are quite in the dark about

one explanation given for their good
conduct is that with Villas disappear
ance his followers have turned over to
the so-called "legalista" movement,
A theory commonly offered for Villas
disappearance is that he hopes with
a chosen few to catch and kill Car
ranza in his travels.
That Villa did announce his retire
ment for three months and that his
command is resolving into small bands
seems to be established, the passen-
gers affirm.
saiazar Wants Ammunition.
Jose Ynez Salazars real motive for
appearing near the American border
in the district opposite the Gadsden
purchase, is now believed to be for
the purpose of smuggling ammuni-
ton, shells and rifles for the Villa
force which he commands, before the
expected attack on Juarez was start

ammunition had been smuggled across
the border to Salazar. both east and
west of Columbus and that this am
munition was being cached south of
the line for transportation on mules
to the Villa base in the vicinity of
Vado Fusiles Mexican officials here
also admit that wholesale ammuni-
tion smuggling operations have been
in progress along the New Mexico
Chihuahua border.
The raids across the border, they
say, we're made for the purpose of
drawing the United States army pa
trolls to the Jog" district in order
that ammunition might be rushed
across the line elsewhere.

tsr MORNING JOURNAL srrerAl LEASED WIPE

Washington, Feb. IA peremp-
tory demand upon %iet many for the
release of the seventy-two American
seamen from the prize ship Yarrow-
dale was prepared at the state depart
ment today with President Wilson's
approval.
Officials were reticent about the
communication but it was admitted
that it would go forward shortly
through the Spanish ambassador at
Berlin. To accompany the demand
the department has gathered COM
plete data showing the treatment ac-
corded German sailors in American
ports.
1t is confidently expected that Ger
many will free the sailors without
the most pressing Of the questions
which arose Immediately after the
severance of relations between the
two countries There virtually is no
hope here. however. that the hour of
more serious trouble with Germany
can be postponed much longer,
Break to Come Soon.
Many responsible officials have
concluded that unless there is a
prompt and decided change in the
general attitude of Germany toward
the interests of the United States, the
appearance of President Wilson be-
fore congress to ask authority to af-
ford protection to American lives and
property Is only a matter of days.
Any doubt as to the ruthless char
acter of the new submarine campaign
and its violation Of neutral rights long
since has disappeared and the situa-
ton is made more and more grave
daily by aggravating incidents.
Even if the president delays going
to congress longer than it is believed
in most quarters he will, the present
session comes to an end in less than
three weeks and it is regarded as in
evitable that he will deliver another
address on American rela-
tions before congress 'adjourns.
The president paid another visit to
day to the state war and navy. de-
partments. but it was explained that
this did not foreshadow any immedi- |
ate important Developments.
Brief Word From Elkus.
A cabinet meeting will be held to-
morrow.
Concern over the absence of any
word from Ambassador Elkus at Con-
stantinople since the break with Ger
many was somewhat relieved today
when two brief dispatches were re-
ceived from him. The first dated
February Z, inquired why he was hav-
ing difficulty communicating with this
government The second was said to
be routine report and its date was
not made public. An investigation is
under way to determine whether the
ambassador messages are held up at
Vienna.
Nothing has been heard of the de-
parture of train loaded with some
eighty-six American consuls and their
families, together with an unknown
number of other Americans which !

the story:

too short Such ring fighter should
still be a strong factor in the game

"The cause OF a recent operation put
Eddie out OF his winnig vein for
long while The effect OF the opera
ton has been TO lay him upon the
shelf for the time being. How much
longer he will stay there depends up
on the man. There is yet good deal
