GOLFERS SC0RN RAIN ID SEE
 B|SbEE WIN
Warren Country Clubmen Capture Stellar Event From Visiting Devotees-Poppen and Zeisemer Scintillate.

Under conditions which would doubt less have crushed the sporting spirit of devotees of any other pastime in the southwest. members of the South western Golf Association fought out yesterday one of the most exciting journeys in the history of the organi- zation. The fact that the Warren District Country Club won the stellar event. the match between six repre- sentative clubs was, of course. of sur passing local interest but the devO- tion of players to the game of golf proved that loyalty to this recreation is indistructible.
 Few believed when they awoke in the morning and saw or heard a driv- ing rain. that it would be possible to conduct a successful tourney. It was obvious that in addition to physical .,discomforts. the fareways and greens upon which so much time and labor had been spent would be in wretched condition. Regardless of this, the players from the country clubs of Cobre Valley. Fl Paso. Phoenix. Tue eon. Douglas and the Warren District hied themselves to the scene of con test with buoyant spirits. The blaz- ing logs in the fireplace of the club house failed to lure them away from the game on which their hearts were set.
 That golf is an uncertain game was proven by the final results yesterday, but this comment anticipates events attending the program. The Warren District players were not conceded a chance for first hOnors. It was eX- pected that either Fl PasO or Douglas would carry them off. Rain attended by stiff wind prevailed when the contestants were sent away in ac- eordance with a schedule approved by Henry Poppen who is in charge of the local end of the tourney
 A touch of comedy enliyened the opening chapter Most of the players were swathed in warm sweaters and even rain coats. constituting costumes which are seldom seen in journeys of the importance of that under way. These habiliments were not condu- cive to freedom of action but surpris- ing results were accomplished never theless.
 In the face Of disconcerting wind. the contestants accomplished surpris- ingly good drives off the first tee. The fareways were in wretched condition on account of the heavy rainfall and oftimes a ball of the course stood a better chance than one which under other circumstances would have en- joyed a distinct advantage But all the players labOred under equal dis advantages which were accepted in a spirit of buoyancy which lent an ele- ment of merriment to the tourney.
 As the men turned in their scores on the first round of nineteen holes. ! it was seen that the Warren District players held a slight lead with Doug las a close contestor. The play was team match against bogey. and in-

WESTERN CHIHUAHUA CITIZENS
 RAISE ARMY ID RESIST VILLA

The five envOys who represent the ranchers. small farmers and cattle men of the Guerrero district. inform ed General Murguia that they tender ed him the use of every armed man enrolled with the home guards. Fran cisco Antillon. as spokesman of the party. said the settlers of that part of the state had become weary of the raids of the Villa followers and had determined to aid the government in every way possible to drive Julio AcOsta and the other Villa leaders from the district. Their offer was ac- cepted by the commander here and they will be used as an auxiliary mil itary force to police the western part of the state.
 Autillon said many of the men who had been impressed by Villa had de serted him and returned to their ranches in the vicinity of Santa Ana. Guerrero and Namiquipa. He said a thousand of these men had deserted Villa during the past two months.

Cold Snap Brings
 District Suffering
 Thru Lack of Fuel

With the decided cold weather, which struck the District last night, the shortage of fuel, both wood and coal. again threatens to render many people uncomfortable and others freezing. Efforts were made yester- day by the Commercial Club to secure some relief but there appears to be little hope of any considerable fuel supply being received short of two days.
 Several days ago Secretary Del bridge. of the Commercial Club, wired to an Fl Paso fuel dealer for a sam pie of Ignite This was received and tested. It caught on fire little more slowly than the other coal but burn ed we'll afterward. Yesterday the secretary called on the fuel dealers and one immediately wired for car load of the product. In the meantime many people who are nearly out of fuel. or entirely so, are making every effort to keep their homes warm until some relief can be had.

 The two officers who were brought here as prisoners were Lieut.. Colonel YsidOro Medina and Major Guadalupe Galviz.

Inloaded at their destinations.
 The order will become effective Feb ruary 21 and will remain in force till May 1. By that time. the commission believes, relief will be general.
 In issuing its order, the commission reviewed at length its investigation of the situation saying that it had found that some carriers honestly en- Jeavored to relieve the situation. but that as a rule and with but few ex- captions" the roads have failed to afford such relief"
 Notwithstanding assurances that and misuse of coal cars would be stopped, the order says. hun dreds of instances of diversion and misuse have been noted and it is "clear the entry of formal order is necessary to protect shippers. con signees and the general public"

ARE HUNDRED WITH
 RAIDER
Rumor Also Says the German Ships Are Flying American Flag, Four Being Sighted Of Brazilian Coast.
(By Review Leased wire)


 Reports of the supposed movements of the unidentified German raider in the south Atlantic and details now coming to light suggesting that she may have been accompanied by three small submarines acting as scouts. continue to be an outstanding naval feature of the war. Arrival of the Royal Mail liner Drina at Rio Janeiro eliminated one of the largest steamers from the list of supposed victims of the commerce destroyer. A strange steamer with four tunnels sighted off Ceara, Brazil, steaming at high speed. suggested the possibility that the raider was near the northern coast of Brazil.

With Vacation of Stations by Guards, Orders Will Be Is- sued for Recalling Persh- ing's Men From Mexico.
ACTUAL WITHDRAWAL
 IS YET UNORDERED
Guards to Be Sent Home, but Not Mustered Out, Fearing Further Need of Them Mexican Policy Stifens.

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.- lrn- mediate withdrawal of "a sub stantial number" of national ouardsmen from the border has been ordered by the war depart ment and General Funston now is selecting the units to be sent home. In announcing the order late today Secretary Baker said the number to be withdrawn at this time probably would be IS, 900 or 10000.
 Withdrawal to FSllow
 The announcement generally wac accepted, however, as an in- dication that the withdrawal of Pershing's forces would not De long delayed. It had been under stood that as quickly as the bor- der stations are evacuated by state troops, regulars will move up to occupy them, but the only news auth -itatively is that no order to bring the regulars north had yet been issued.
 To Keep Guards Intact
 It is the policy of the department not to permit disintegration of the national guards organizations, and the intention is to hold every man in service though not under arms, re gardless of the fact that his duty or the border has ended. All applica tions for discharge except for cause will be refused and resignations of officers will be carefully examined and accepted only when the depart ment is satisfied with the reasons given It was pointed out that ac ceptance of many of the resignations already offered was more or less in the nature of weeding out process
 U. s. Policy Stern
 This policy of maintaining intact the strength of the national guard is taken as further indication of what will be the administration future policy in dealing with Mexico This policy. it has been indicated. contem- plates dealing with sthe defacto gov ernment on "a strictly formal basis rather than on an altruistic basis. Thus it is understood that the activi. ties of Villa and the question of who occupied the territory Pershing is about to leave are regarded here as problems for CarranZa, and that the United States will look to him for their solution.
