SMUGGLERS GET AMMUNITI0N TO
 BANDIT VILLA
Runners of War Supplies Have Made Fortunes in
 Business.

Fl Paso, Tex, Aug. 27-Francisco Villa has obtained his ammunition for .quippIng his men for his bandit raids by smuggling across the United States border or by capture of Car ranza troops. It is believed that ia the past millions of rounds of ammu- hilton have ben snuggled into Mexi- co for Villa from Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. Small fortunes are said to have been gained by the smugglers.
 The United States has stopped the smuggling by wholesale, by compel- ing ammunition dealers to obtain per mits from the Army Intelligence De- partment and by requiring them to mako reports of sales showing who re- ceives the ammunition and the use to which 1t is to be put.
 Nevertheless, 1t Is claimed small quantities of ammunition still are be- ing smuggled over the border.
 Villa has often boasted that he ob- tained a large part of his ammunition and many rifles from Carranza troops. He captured 900 rounds of ammunition intended for Carranza at Parral last spring. Prior to Villas last attack on Juarez a few weeks ago, Q Carranza customs official was discovered delivering ammunition to Villas spies in Juarez.
 Villa finances his revolutionary movements by compelling foreign
 mining and cattle companies to make forced loans'' in return for protection and by seiZins and selling cattle. sil- yer and other property. Instances in which he has forced "1oans' have been reported within a few months. When Villa was encamped near Jua- reg he carried a travelling bag filled with American gold and currency ob- tained from companies in northern 1 Mexico.
 It Is known that he has captured some of the horses sold by the United States army remount depot at Fort Bliss to the Carranza government.

RYLAN FAVORS THE MOTOR BUS
 FOR BROADWAY

Broadway, New York, the costliest and best-known street in the world, is to do away with its street cars and have motor buses exclusively for passenEer-carrying on the street sur. face.
 Mayor Hylan, of New York city. has declared that the day of the street surface car has gone forever. He favors the establishment of bus lines everywhere in the five boroughs and the complete eradication of the street. car lines, tracks, traffic blocking by crowded cars, and everything asso- ciated with them.
 New York was the last big city to abandon the ancient horse-car line, but about the first to adopt the under ground cable and trolley systems for surface cars.
 The building, maintenance and con-
 stant repairs Of these made the for tunes of many contractors and "the men higher up,' and kept Broadway
 constantly torn up for years before the subway came to continue the noise and nuisance for a further | dozen years.
 Perhaps no street in existence has | been torn up, put back again, ex- l cavated and rebuilt so many times | over a period of forty years, while | business concerns patiently paid rent | and taxes, and suffered until the gen. | eral migration uptown left whole sec. 1 tions of the great thoroughfare de | serted and practically dead. Its famous old buildings, too old | to compete with those of moderr | construction, too far from the new
 railway centres, deserted, and fallins | into ruins, merely mark an era of by. i gone greatness and progress. l It can't bother the BOlshevist! | much to create a successful ambush

proposals before congress yesterday
for checking the high cost Of living.

nent results could not be expected un-

treaty.
High prices, the president told con-
gress, were not justified by shortage
Of supplies, either present or pros
pective, but were created in many
cases ''artificially and deliberately
by vicious practices" Retailers, he
said, were responsible in large part
for extortionate prices.
Strikes, the president warned the

worse and those who sought to en-
ploy threats or coercion were only
preparing their own destruction. =
