VILLA PLANNING NEW
DRIVE SOUTH AGAI INST
CARRANZA GOVERNMENT |
afternoon.

Washington, Sept 20.-American of.
ticials are greatly interested in news in
dicating that Villa is planning a new
campaign against Carran2a, which ac-
counts for the activity he has displayed
during the past few months accumulat-
ing munitions and men in northern
Durango. 1t is said that he contem-
plates a drive south from his present
headquarters and will keep away from
the border so that by no act of his can
the American army be sent across the
Rio Grande, as was the case recently
at JuareZ.
Villa released a short time ago 2,100
Carranza prisoners which his troops
had captured, cautioning them to keep
out of the federal army and urging them
to turn over to him all the rifles and
equipment they could get. Many of
them enlisted at once i'm the Villa ar.
my, while others returned to their homes
on parole. Six hundred men from the
Santa Rosalia garrison and 800 from
the Chihuahua garrison recently have
deserted and joined the Villistas, ac
cording to these reports.
1t is said here that Gen. Francisco
Gonzales transfer from Juarez to Tam
pico was caused by threats against his
life by his own troops because of his
acquescence in the recent crossing of
the border by American troops.

JOHNSON SAYS ISSUE is
AMERICAN, AND l AM AN
AMERICAN" AT ST. PAUL

st. Paul, Sept. Ex-senator Hiram W.
Johnson planned to close his speech
making tour of the Middle West, pre-
senting arguments against the unqual-
fed approval of the league of nations
covenant, with three addresses in the
Twin Cities today At noon he ad-
dressed a large and enthusiastic gather
ing at the Metropolitan Opera House
District Judge +. M. Catlin presided
and introduced the speaker.
81 care nothing for man who will
not listen to both sides of an important
question and | care less for man who
refuses to form an opinion and take
positive stand in regard to vital issue"
said Senator Johnson.
This is a time when men cannot
halt, hesitate or pussy-foot. They must
take sides on the league of nations is
sue because it is the most important
question submitted to the American
people for decision since the civil war.
"On one side is the path leading to
sinister diplomacy of old world politics.
on the other lies the narrow path of
pure Amercanism. The issue is Amer.
lea, and | am an American"
With emphasis the senator declared
that the proposed league of nations was
not in reality an association to prevent
war, but "a league of nations in a gi-
gantic war trust"

LANSING FOR TREATY
ADOPTION At ONCE
H AND WITHOUT CHANGE

Watertown, n. Y, Sept. 20.-"The
peace treaty should be ratified without
delay and without change declared
Secretary of State Robert Lansing here
today, in the first public utterance
made by him since the statement of
William C. Bullitt before the senate
foreign relations committee in which
it was alleged that the secretary Of
state on May 49, in Paris, said that if
the American people knew what was in
the treaty they would defeat it.
I'm the treaty Of peace" Mr.. Lansing
further said, there is nothing which
inyades the sovereignty of this republic
or which limits in any way the full ex.
ercise Of such sovereignty"
Mr.. Lansing spoke at the dedication
of Lansingdorp, suburb Of Watcrtown
erected by the government to house mu-
milton workers, and named in honor of
the home of the Lansing family in Hol-
land He made no direct reference to
the Bullitt testimony, contenting him
S'il Win saying mat lHe treaty as IL IS
should be ratified.
I'VE are approaching n new era" he
said, IAN era Of peace, and, as / con
fidently believe, an era of national pros.
perity unsurpassed in our history The
people Of the earth ardently long to en-
ter upon this era so that they may be
gin to rebuild that which has been de-
stroyed. This cannot be done until nor
NAL commercial and industrial condi.
tons are restored, and they can only be
restored in one way. and that is by
ratifying the treaty Of peace which now
lies on the table in the United States
senate.
There may be in the treaty features
which do not meet universal approval.
1t would be strange if it were otherwise.
But the objections which have been
made to certain provisions are trivial
compared with the imperative need of
peace"

DEMAND NEXT SPRING
FOR SOUTHERN TRUCK
CROPS EXPECTED BRISK

Washington, Sept. 20.-Demand for
southern truck crops in the spring Of
1920 even more promising than that Of
1919 is forecast in a statement of the
department of agriculture, issued today.
One of the important elements in produc-
ing this favorable situation for southern
truckers is the fact that the potato crop
bids fair to be 1926, 900 bushels short
of the 1918 crop.
Growers of Bermuda type onions have
a brighter outlook than has existed dur
ing the last two seasons. The estimat
ed autumn harvest of onions is more
than 1000, 900 bushels short of that
last year, and more than 1000 600 bush
els short of that two years ago.
4 The cabbage crop in the nine north
ern states in which late summer cab
bage is extensively grown, bids fair to
be the smallest harvested since 1916
almost 100000 tons less than in 1918,
and nearly 100000 tons less than 1917.
