 Villa parisans here claimed that the official report of the Jiminez battle was exaggerated but the fact of the vic l tory was substantiated today by pri- vate telegrams received by American mining men from JimineZ. That the | telegraph line is open from Jiminez north to the border is taken as proof here that General Murguia controls the lower district

SHERIFF SIMPSONS
 CASE AN EASY ONE

Sheriff W. c. Simpson of Deming arrived yesterday for Earl Williams alias Thomas Whiting, wanted in New Mexico on an embezzlement charge. Sheriff Simpson was not placed in 2 position where he was called upon to recognize either Thomas F.. Campbell or G. W. P Hunt as chief executive, since Will Hams did not fight eXtradition.

CAMP At QUANTICO
READY ON TUESDAY
Marines Now Under Canvas Will
Move Into New Buildings.

ouantico, Va, June 3O.-The first Of
the cantonments for the 10000 marines
to be ordered here for training before
being sent to France will be turned
over to the government Tuesday.
By working a force of 1900 men
night and day the contractor has COM
pleted half of the 300 barracks build
ings in a remarkably short time. The
remaining $50 are expected to be COM
pleted by the middle of July.
Several thousand marines from
Haiti, Santo Domingo, San Francisco
and other districts who have been
camping in tents on a broad level field
overlooking the Potomac River while
awaiting the completion of the canton
ments will move into the wooden
structures Tuesday.
The barracks will be complete, in
every respect, for on Monday Guam
tico's new water plant, equipped with
reservoir with a capacity of 100000
gallons per day, will be put into oper-
alton. Quantico already has a large
electric lighting plant from which cur
rent is furnished to the thousands of
lights throughout the town and the
cantonment camp.
Word has been received here from
Washington that the marine training
camp will be maintained here after
the war. Quantico will be maintained
as a place OF rendezvous for marines
and annual maneuvers probably will
be held here during concentration or

Cupid's Darts Pierce
639 Fair June Hearts

In keeping with ithe militant
spirit OF the country, Dan Cupid
was well supplied with ammuni-
ton during the month of June.
He bowled over an even hundred
more than he did during June,
1916. While he was not idle last
June, 539 was his record against
$50 licenses for the month ended
yesterday.
For the first six months Of 1916,
the little god hit the mark with
2,056 arrows. His craftsmanship
was considerably better for the
first six months of this year. with
2,531 licenses, an increase of over
20 per cent. Another little Cupid,
with shiny eyes, dark skin. ana
watermelon lips, also boosted him
self fully % per cent over the
previous year. 1t so happens that
Mars had little or nothing to do
with the increase. Neither did the
H. c. of L. stop things, according
to Col. w. A. Kroll, who presides
at the marriage license counter.

BAKERSPRESENTPLAN
FOR own REGULATION
Would Aid Herbert c. Hoover in
Conservation of Bread.

The bakers of the United States yes
terday presented a plan to Herbert c.
Hoover for the regulation of their
own industry along broad, patriotic
lines, by which they hope to aid ma
terially in his campaign for the con-
servation of breadstuffs.
In regulating themselves, the bakers
hope to prevent waste not only by
educating the housewives to buy only
that bread which will actually be con-
sumed for human food, but also to
establish a minimum weight loaf Of
one pound when baked, as this is the
smallest unit in weight which will
satisfactorily retain moisture and
wholesOmeness.
The consumers will be asked to or
der regularly from their groCers so
that the grocers may order a definite
amount from the baker and the bak-
er will then make only that amount
of bread which will be sold and eaten
The bakers will have but little to do
with any change in the price of bread
which can only be governed by the
price of wheat and many factors must
combine to affect the cost of this COM
modify.

upon Alsace-Lorraine.
No-a great economic revival for
France is not to be found in measures
aimed solely at crushing German
trade to the detriment of our own. We
shall ind it. as will ENGLAND. in re-
vising, stimulating, modernizing our
own methods: in a vigorous foreign
trade policy conducted in worldwide
markets as wide open as may be. We
must pit our business genius against
the German on equal terms wherever
We find 1t, and as to purely Franco
German trade, in the interests of our
own prosperity We must give them a
fair field in exchange for reasonable
treatment from them-only making
perfe| sIy certain that We get a fair
de 4 from the Germans.
1t has been suggested that England
alone now stands for a bitter trade
war against the Germans. My own
information is that this is far from
being the case. England sincerely
wishes to abolish militarism from
Europe: having accomplished this in
cooperation with France and the
United States, she will not. as I be-
lieye, wage singly on her own part
rancorous trade war against Germany.
Her business men. as a whole, are
now actually opposed to the policy
elaborated at the Paris economic con-
ference. Commercially, they have
taken Germany's measure and are
confident that after the way they will
be able to do more than hold their own
in fair and square trading in competi-
ton with Germany
How will the end Of the war find the
big nations situated economically? As
I see 1t the countries that will emerge
considerably strengthened by the
worlds hard trial are Great Britain
and America. the former by reason of
the tremendous rejuvenation the war
has brought to her, the latter because
OF her incalculable inherent resources
the drive Of her business heads and
the splendid market which the Old
World will AFFORD to her once peace
has been made.
Compared with the United States and
Great Britain, France-though In the
size Of her territory, the bravery of
her people, the wonderful prestige of
her name and her unparalleled intel
lectual standing, one Of the worlds
greatest powers-will yet rank as
small nation as to population and
other factors after the war, and Italy
will be in a similar case as compared
to England and America.

The Southern and Western railroad
interests are a unit on one conclu-
sion as to the attitude of the COM

quoted by the shippers attorneys to
show that the roads had in their
treasury a fat surplus five years old
formed the barrier which the COM
missioners were unable to hurdle.
Samuel Rea "AmaZed."
Samuel Rea. president OF the Penn
sylvania Railroad system. yesterday
issued a statement. regarding the de-
cision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, in which he said in part:
Il am amazed at the reasoning and
discouraged by the conclusions in the
rate decision. the Eastern railroads
are the great terminals for the whole
country and absolutely require the IL
per cent increase Immediately. The
Pennsylvania system is indicative Of
conditions on the railroads on East
ern territory and its operations verify
the estimates made for the commits
sion.
notwithstanding all the railroads
are doing in cooperation with the
government (and no other interests
are doing morel, the country will real
ize that there will probably be more
congestion next fall and winter than
it has heretofore experienced. We
are bending every effort to meet that
situation, but instead of putting the
railroads in a position where they can
give substantial assistance. by addi-
tional facilities and equipment. their
credit will be seriously limited by this
decision. and the country at large
must of necessity suffer.
