 STEAMER IS AGROUND
Northland Runs on Ledge Near New Bedford-Pas-
 sengers All Taken Off.

New Bedford, June 21.-The steam CT Northland, from New York to Boston with $50 passengers and freight, went aground in a fog early today while making for the Buzzards Bay entrance of the Cape Cod canal
 A radio message from her con- mander, Captain Snow, said the ves- sel was resting easy on West Island ledge, ten miles from this city and that the passengers were in no danger He asked that boats be sent inn mediately to take off passengers but on account of the fog, which made navigation in the bay very difficult the tugs sent from here were unable to reach the Northland at once
 Later the fog lifted a little and the transfer of the passengers by tugs to this city was accomplished without accident. Ii was arranged to forward them to Boston by special train after the baggage had been removed.
 It was believed that the Northland could be f1Oated without difficulty, as the sea was calm. Her outer hull was damaged but the interior hull was reported intact.
 The Northland is owned by the Eastern Steamship Co. and plies reg ularly between New York and Bos- ton The spot where she struck is near the scene of the wreck of the Steamer Sankaty three years ago. It is several miles inside the course usually followed in heading for the Cape Cod canal

 The center party has also declared that it desired similar concessions. but it's position as to this has not been regarded as unshakcable.

WATCHf6L WAITING
 IS THING OF PAST
War Department Prepared to
 Send Expedition Into Mexico CARRANZA WANTS U. s. AID
Rebel Forces Stronger Than Supposed and Federal Leader Would Like on JIarcZ Incident

Washington, June 21.-Recent de- Velopments along the southern border and within Mexico itself, it was learn ed officially today, has brought a rad ical change in the attitude of this governme towards Mexico. "Watch- ful waiting" has been discarded for "Watchful preparedness"
 Ready to Advance
 The war department has perfected plans to throw a punitive expedition across the Rio Grande the moment official word is received of reprisals by Villa for the Juarez incident or in case of other contingencies tending to bring the Mexican situation again to a stage approaching the crisis of last Sunday. Orders for the advance of this column, however, it was said would be accompanied by instructions for the military occupation of terri tory necessary to insure the safety of the expedition and absolute protection of the border through the creation of neutral zone south of the line.
 Further movement of the expedition would depend entirely on subsequent developments.
 Carranza Forces Weak.
 Although three federal generals now are operating against Villa in northern Mexico, confidential reports to the war departm are not Opti- miStic regarding the success of the Carranza campaign there while the withdrawal of badly needed troops from the south, it is expected, will be followed by fresh incursions of the Felicistas-already at the very gates of the capital. The Carranza miIi- tary establishment, according to off, cial reports filed here actually in cludes, less than 40 per cent. of it's paper Strength of 160, 900 and it's mili- tary value is decreased by the doubt ful loyalty of some of the high officers and the fact that hundreds of recruits were forcibly conscripted.
 Villa Army Well Equipped.
 Of the rebel factions, of which there are said to be seven opposing Carranza, Villa is reported to be the strongest The Villistas are cOnserVa- lively estimated to number 10000, equipped with fairly modern arms, in cluding cannon up to 105 millim eters ill caliber.

graphed on Friday, it was finished
on Friday and when it was pre-
scented for the first time in public
on September Is, 1918, it proved to
be the biggest success the screen
has ever known.
There are many thrilling Incl
dents in the story of this superb
adaptation of the great Drury Lane
melodrama which has held the
stage for more than twenty years.
Chief among these are a prize fight
in the National Sporting Club of
London and reproduction of Der

to do with John, Earl of Wood
stock, who battles against odds to
regain his lost financial position by
backing two great sporting events,
