modification of the protocol providing
for the withdrawal of American troops
from Mexico is made by Gen. Car
rama In message just delivered to
Secretary Lane by Luis Cabrera, the
chairman Of the Mexican members of

American demand that the protocol
signed by his spokesman at Atlantic
City be ratified, with an S0O-w6rd doc
ument in which he faiieG to accede to
the demand, but refrained from writ
ing anything that could be construed
as fat reputation.
The latest suggestion for changes In
the agreement will be construed by
the three American representatives.,
Secretary Lane, ]. R. Mott and Judge

his colleagues of the character of the
reply and askd them to meet him here

$1eo, 900, 900 Deficit May Be Covered
BY Bonds.

Washington.-President Wilson has
tentatively agreed with administration
leaders in congress on a bond issue to
meet part of the treasury deficit which
confronts the government for the fls.
cal year ending June 80, 1918. esti-
mated at about $1S0,000,000. With
Secretary McAdoo, the president is
working on other plans for raising ad-
ditional revenue.
The president has pointed out that
he believes a bond issue should be
used only to meet temporary and
emergency expenditures. Many Of
these have been caused by the Mexi-
can situation.
The treasury already has authority,
by previous acts of congress, to issue
Panama bonds, and about $240. 900 900
OF these are available. They would
bear per cent.
Plans for raising the other revenue
are understood to concern the income

taxes on internal revenue and imports

BRITISH COMMANDER CLAIMS UN-
FAVORABLE WEATHER ONLY
PREVENTED COLLAPSE.
soMME BATTLE PROVES IT
Asserts That Battle Of Somme Proves
Superiority Of Entente Allies Over
Central Powers-No Doubt
About Final Victory.

London.-The battle of the Somme
ID pictured as sweeping triumph for
entente allied arms in a detailed re-
port by Gen. Sir Douglas Haig, which
covers operations from July to Nov.
Is. Gen. Haig terms the battle tri-
umph, In which the German western
armies were only saved from complete
collapse and decisive defeat by a
protracted period of unfavorable
weather that prevented the Anglo
French forces from taking full advan-
tage OF their successful advance. He
declares that, nevertheless, it was a
triumph which proved beyond doubt
the ability of the allies to overthrow
Germany when the time comes" The
British commander shows himself a
firm believer in the doctrine that the
entente allies can win the war on the
western front.
IL desire to add few words as to
future prospects," he says at the close
of the dispatch, which covers 16 close
ly printed pages. "The enemy's power
has not yet been broken nor is it yet
possible to form an estimate of the
time the war may last before the OBJ
jects for which the allies are fighting
have been attained, but the Somme
battle has placed beyond doubt the
ability Of the allies to gain those OBJ
jects. The German army is the main
stay of the central powers, and full
half of that army, despite all advanta-
ges of che defensive and supported by
the strongest Notifications, suffered
defeat on the Somme this year. Meth
er victors nor vanquished will forget
this and, although bad weather has
given the enemy a respite. there are
undoubtedly many thousands in his
ranks who will begin the new cam
paign with little confidence in their
ability to resist our assaults or over
come our defense"

old artesian overfiowing well, which
for years quenched the thirst Of Co
lumbians and which sent forth its
fine stream Of splendid water at the
intersection Of Main and Market
streets, the city is erecting a hand
some public drinking fountain. For
years the well was the finest in this
entire section. but about three or four
years ago its flow Of water began to
wane, and finally ceased entirely. A
handpump has been used for some
time to draw up the water and the city
decided to erect the fountain at the
site of the old well, which was land

Ell Paso, Tex.-General Murguia Is
caught like rat in trap In Chihua-
hua City, and the heavy fighting,
which has been in progress since Sun
day around the capitol, has been the
effect OF his efforts to evacuate the
town. He is hemmed In on all sides,
however, and the opinion among
American military experts in Ell Paso
is that villa will retake the town at
any moment he desires.
Coincident with the desperate situa-
ton of the Carranzistas in Chihua-
hua City, Juarez is in a state of panic,
and 1t is freely predicted that Villa
will attack the sister town of Ell Paso
within ten days. 1t also is predicted
that when he does the army of "boy
scouts" as Murguia's force there Is
called. will desert in body and the
bandit leader will take the city with
out the necessity of firing single

places, all within month, and can re-
take any Of those places at will. He

Stock subscription books Of the
banks will be opened about jan Z. to
remain open for 80 days. 1t Is ex-
pected. however, that the government
will have to supply most Of the S9.-
100000 capital under that section Of
the law which empowers the secretary
Of the treasury to make up the sub
scrfbed stock.
Temporary directors, five to each
bank, wiz be named, probably within
the next three weeks, by the board.
AS soon as the banks have been or
ganized and borrowers have subscrib-
ed to $4,000 Of the stock of each bank.
the temporary directors will surrender
their authority to boards of nine direct
ors each, six of whom will be named
by the farm loan board. The perma-
nent directors will serve three years
and receive per diem compensation, as
in the case of federal reserve bank d.
rectors.
Each borrower must subscribe to
stock in the bank from which he bor-
rows to the extent of five per cent OF
his loan and the original subscribers
to the capital stock are required to
surrender their holdings as they may
be needed to meet this situation.
In designing locations for the banks
the board was guided chiefly by the
needs of rural sections. This has re-
suited in placing only two of the IL
banks in New England and Middle At
lantic states, the chief centers of pop
ulation. Three go to the south, five to
the farming states of the middle west
and west, and two to the Pacific coast.

amount actually needed for comfortable living.
That status should not be measured by the yard
stick Of past luxury but should be based upon the
needful demands of ordinary American family.
If the possessors of these incomes are not content
with that style of living. during the days of the
war; they can well afford to temporarily draw upon
their accumulated wealth from which these great
incomes arise.
If the man without great wealth is called upon
to offer his all-his fe-in the defense of his coun
