FEW TORPEDO BOATS
FORM GERMAN NAVY
FTOTILLAS ENGAGED IN
MAINTAINING ORDER ALONG
THE COAST

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
IN GERMANY, Aug. 16.-The Ger
mans have organized two flotillas OF
torpedo boats since the armistice
and these constitute virtually all the
warships left in active service in
the German navy, according to In
formation received here.
One of these flotillas is described
in Mittschifs, q German naval peri
odical which has reached the Am
erican headquarters, as the iron
torpedo boat flotilla. 1t consists OF
IL torpedo boats which, the peri
odical says, have been engaged in
maintaining order on the western
coast of Germany.
Some of the vessels of the flo
tilla have been used on several oc-
casions for police work in the port
|of Hamburg. doing duty guarding
allied food shipments to the Czecho-
Slovaks and similar : work during
periods of disorder. The flotilla
has it's headquarters at Wilhelms-
haven. A landing corps of about
$50 men is distributed among the
IL boats, each of which has a pla-
toon Of 80 commanded by a naval
lieutenant. The clothing and arms
of members of this landing corps
are the same as in the infantry.
The other group of vessels called
the Half flotilla is supposed to be
doing similar duty on the Baltic
coast near the Russian boundary,
with headquarters in Koenigsberg,
The boats are armed with machine
guns, and in some cases with 3.7
centimeter guns as well. The flo
tilla was organized for operation in
connection with the east Prussiar
Freiwillige corps and was until a
few weeks ago subject to the COM
mander of the northern army.

ANNOUNCEMENTS TO
ENTER COAST LEAGUE
FIELDER JONES MAY LEAD THE
TEAM IF FRANCHISE Is
OBTAINED

VANCOUVER, B. c., Aug. 49,
Vancouver intends to carry on
it's fight for a berth in the Pacific
Coast Baseball league next year. LO-
cal baseball fans, who have been
without the game this season, would
like to see the Coast league con-
tinue as an eight club affair but
with two divisions. the south com
prising Los Angeles, Vernon, San
Francisco and the north Seattle, Ia
coma, Portland and Vancouver.
Rumors regarding baseball fly
thick and fast here. The latest one
says Fielder Jones, former big
league manager and one time presi-
dent of the old Northwestern Base
ball league, may head a Vancouver
team in the coast league if this city
can obtain the desired franchise. R.
p. Jones, Vancouver baseball mag
nate, said recently he would vel
come the entry of Jones into local
baseball circles.

fORMERMtX GOVERNOR
TO START VILLA HUNT

CHIHUAHUA CITY. Mexico, Aug.
2O.-Gen. Ignacio Enriquez, gradu-
ate of an American university and
former governor of Chihuahua. is
organizing an auxiliary force OF
cavalry similar to the mounted con-
stabulary of Pennsylvania and other
American states. He claims to have
$50 men under his command at
present and is recruiting $50 more
to complete his force of state troops.
Many of these men have had ex-
perience in the field during the
revolutions and all can shoot, ride
and rope we'll. They are divided
into commands according to the dis
tricts in which they live and General
Enriquez's ambition is to capture
Villa and claim the reward of 25,-
600 pesos offered by the state of
Chihuahua for Villa dead or alive.
He is also a candidate for gov
ernor at the next state election and
hopes to rid the state of banditry
by that time.

CLEARING HEADLIGHTS;
MAN STRUCK BY AUTO

Charles A. Fore was knocked
down by an automobile at 10 O'Clock
last night while crossing Fifth ave-
nue. and was taken to ST. Mary's
hospital, suffering from a dislo-
Gated shoulder, a cut over the right
eye in which two stitches were
taken, and bruised hands. The car
that struck Fore was driven by
Amos Brown, a miner, who, said the
'glaring headlights on. an approach
ing auto blinded him as he turned
the corner from Crook street onto
Fifth avenue. He said he could not
see the road until he had driven
through the glare and that it was
then too late to avoid the accident.
DR.. Mccarthy reported the condition
of the injured man to be satisfac-
tory this morning. Fore is 10 years
of age.

MEX. BANDIT USES
TRICKS OF QUAIL
BAND BREAKS UP RAPIDLY ON
APPROACH OF FEDERAL
TROOPS

JUARFZ, Aug. 15.-Francisco
Villas method of evsding pursuit by
Mexican government troops is al
most identical with that used by a
Icovey of quail to escape the hunter.
Even the detail OF protective color
ing has been applied by Villa for
his men always wearing brown cot
ton clothing which blends with the
desert landscape and dust clouds
through which they travel in cam
paign.
Hunters know that the quail in
stinct directs it to scatter when
danger approaches. seek cover in
the nearby landscape. Villa and
his rebel bands do the same thing
when a superior federal column ap-
proaches. Often Villas band will
number 1000 men under his chiefs,
Angeles, Lopez, Diaz and Garcia.
They make a column which coils
across the plains like a giant
snake and leaves a great dust cloud
in it's wake. But let General Cas-
tro's government troops approach
with artillery, machine guns and
cavalry mounted on former Ameri-
can army horses and the column
will break up into little bands OF
100 under petty chiefs, will disap-
pear in some mountain canyons and
go into hiding until the federals
pass. Once the danger of attack is
over the column reassembles, occu-
pies some town in it's path and
again disappears with it's loot.
Villas men have been known to
hitch their horses to plows in the
fields of the irrigated districts and
be industriously blowing when the
! federal scouts appeared. They have
learned various tricks of deception
during the years of evadinS the
federals and even drive a herd III
burros with them Sc they many
transform themselves into Woo
vendors on occasion. During The
Pershing expedition it was claimed
by Mexicans that Villa himself
stood in Namiquipa disguised as 4
peon, with a blanket wrapped 10
his eyes and watching the Pershins
column pass through the town in
pursuit of him. This has been lie.
MED and its source questioned but
Villa has played many eqEally dar-
ing tricks on his Mexican military
enemies.

HIGH LABOR COST TO
RUIN BRITISH TRADE
STEEL RAILS COST $85 AGAINST
so IN THE UNITED
STATES

LONDON, Aug. IS.-Steadily in
creasing production costs, due to
increased labor and higher prices
for raw materials, have developed
the fear in England that British
export trade is to suffer a severe
jolt, if moi serious injury. Com
parsons are constantly being made
with foreign costs, but it is noted
that most men fear American COM
petition more than any other.
Sir Auckland Geddes, discussins :
in the house of commons the effects
of increased coal prices, compared
British iron and steel prices with
those prevailing in the United
States.
Steel rails in England, he said,
cost SIS a ton while in the United
States they were $50, and steel
plates for shipbuilding $3.50. and
in the United States $40 Crown
bars we're $11O a ton as compared
with the American price of $3.50.
The spread in pig iron, he pointed
out, was $40 a ton, the British cost
being $40 to the American $50.

PENALTY DOES
NOT STOP BOOZE SALE
DECREE OF SONORA GOVERNOR
ONLY MAKES BOOZE
CHEAPER

DOUGLAS, Ariz., Aug. TO-
Though death has been the penalty
pronounced by General p. Elias
Gales, governor of Sonora, Mexico,
for the making or selling of liquors
in that state, public sentiment was
$50 strongly against the decree that,
while arrests were being made in
other parts of the state, in the CAPT.
tai, Hermosillo, recently liquor
never was more plentiful nor
cheaper since prohibition first went
into effect in 1915.
Americans reaching here recently
from Hermosillo said beer was be-
ing sold at $25 gold a cas- of so
|pints and tequila was selling at S.
ia quart.
Not long ago, SO cases or 600
bottles of tequila, seized in all parts
of Sonora, were publicly destroyed.
The liquor was poured into the gut
ter in front of the governors palace.
Americans who witnessed the de-
struction said that a number of
poems were on hand with cups and
when the liquor was poured into the
gutter scooped up enough to get
iriotously drunk.
During the period when the death
penalty was in force until it was
repealed early in July, not a single
execution had taken place.
Adolfo de la Huerta, the gov
ernor-elect, and the state congress
are reported to be prepared early
in September, when they take of
flee, to put in effect a law reopen
ing saloons in Sonora for the sale
of light wines and beer. At present
there are a number of buildings in
Aqua Prieta, Naco and Nogales, So
nora, being remodeled for saloon
purposes.

TROOPS Of NOsKE
HATED BY GERMANS
CITIES CLAIM SOLDIERS EAT
TOO MUCH OF FOOD
SUPPLY

COBLENZ, Aug. 16.-Throughout
Germany there has been a renewai
recently of clashes between troops
of Gustav Noske, secretary of mill
tary affairs, and civilians but just
what has caused the disturbances is
not clear in dispatches published in
German newspapers. American army
officers, however, believe it quite
possible that the manifestations are
due to the food shortage, the reloca-
ton of Noske troops and the sub
troops in many cities.
In Celle, Hanover, there has been
trouble for more than a week, at
times the manifestations amounting
almost to riots over the appearance
of a Japanese battalion which ar
rived recently from the eastern
front. The citizens commended that
this battalion had eaten too much
of the city's food supply. In He'll
bronn. Wuertemburg, individual
soldiers have been attacked and
beaten by civilians at night and
their insignia stolen. Disturbances
between Insterburg, West Prussia,
citizens and soldiers of the First
Jaeger gu Pferde regiment has
reached such a state that the civil
authorities have made demands up-
on the government hat the troops
be moved to another district.
From information in the hands of
the officers at headquarters of the
American forces in Germany it is
believed that, while the majority of
the German people are now loyalty
supporting the government troops,
there is an energetic minority which
has been increasing in bitterness re-
Gently against the eIcske troops
wherever they have appeared in
various parts of Germany.
