AMERICANS At MERCY
Of VILLA IN EVENT
He SEEKS VENGEANC CT

lei Paso, June lS.-Interests in this
section of the Mexican border shifted
today from Juare2 to the interior where
the Americans are at the mercy OF
Francisco Villa and his force of rebels
except in the larger towns and cities,
should Villa start a campaign of re
prisals against Americans, because
troops crossed the border Sunday night
and drove his men away from JuareZ.
Telegraph lines are down south OF
Juarez, the railroad is completely
wrecked between Juarez and Chihua-
hua City, and wagon roads are dan
gerous because OF Villas presence
southwest Of tn. Mexican town, so
that nothing can yet be learned of the
developments south of the international
boundary.
American mining companies having
American employees. in isolated mining
camps in the north, have ordered their
men to leave and make their way to
the border by way of Torreon to avoid
the Villa bands now believed to be
rowing the country between Chihuahua
City and the border. Efforts TO warn
these Americans have been made re
peatedly since Sunday night, but few
replies have been received.
Reports relayed from Parral to Jim
inez, Torreon and Laredo, stating that
1000 Yaqui Indians of Cen Manuel
Dieguez's command had arrived there,
relieved the fears of the American com
panes operating in that district. This
did not change orders of the Ameri-
can refining company, however, to their
American employees in that camp to
come to the border.
Another large operating company in
the Parral district decided to leave its
men there as long as the troops gar
risoned the camp, officials here stating
| that they considered their men safer
there than on the road to the border
| The excitement of the battle of Juar-
ez between Villa and Carranza troops
| and the subsequent expedition of Am
erican troops to Juarez subsided. de
cided change in the attitude on both
sides of the border is beginning to be
| apparent.

Daily Summary
of Peace News
Ry the Associat ed Press.

While sentiment in the German
cabinet. according TO Weimar
dispatch. is almost unanimous
against signing the treaty. official
Germany has not committed itself
definiately on the amended peace
conditions.
The German leaders held an eX-
tended conference at Weimar, Tues'
day. to discuss the treaty terms on
which hang the future fate of Ger
many. 1t is expected that the
amended conditions will be laid be-
fore the German national assembly
today. by the cabinet. 1t is de
cared that the only thing that
might persuade the German govern
ment to agree to the treaty is the
possibility of political and economic
chaos in Germany afterward.
Opinion i'm Paris as to the even
tual attitude of the Germans Is di-
vided. 1t is believed, however,
that the Germans, knowing the
certain results of a refusal to slgn'
will, i'm the end, agree to terms. 1t
is said by those familiar with the
changes in the treaty that the Ger.
man leaders can, if they WISH
make it appear that they had gained
concessions by negotiation.
In the meantime. Marshal Foch,
commonder-in-ch of the allied
armies. has issued orders that pre-
parations be made for an advance
eastward from the Rhine bridge
heads as soon as the Germans re
fuse to meet the allied terms, II

AUSTRIAN REPLY TO TREATY
DRAFT OF PONDEROUS SIZE

Paris, Tuesday, June 17.-Austrian OBJ
responding to the fragment
airy treaty first communicated TO the
Austrian delegation, were today under
going translation for submission to the
council of four. They make a docu-
ment so formidable in size that they
cause wonder regarding the length OF
the answer that would have been de
livered had the Austrians been in poses
sion of the complete treaty.
The Austrian reply will be made pub
lie only in connection with the allies
reioiner. 1t is possible that the latter
NAV not be sent until the Austrians
have had an opportunity TO reply to the
missing sections of the treaty, no date
for the presentation of which has as yet
been set.

FRANCE AND ENGLAND
COMPETE FOR GOOD WILL
OF TURKISH DELEGATES

Paris. Tuesday. June 17.-Three of
the Turkish delegates who appeared to-
dav before the council of 10 are said
to be friendly TO France, while Tewfik
Pasha, former Turkish ambassador in
London, who has not yet arrived, is re-
ported to be an Anglophile. Apparent
lv there is considerable rivalry between
England and France in gaining the
good will of Turkey. But the French
high commission in Constantinople
scored by giving the sultan the first
news that the conference had consented
TO heaar the Turkish delegates and pro-
vided a French warship to bring the
Ottoman representatives from Constan-
tinople to Marseilles.

DEMPSEY GAINS WEIGHT
INSTEAD Of LOSING BY
HIS SEVERE TRAINING

Toledo. June 1S-TeX Riokard, pro-
motor of the heavyweight championship
contest between Jess Willard and Jack
Dempsey here July 1, today expressed
his satisfaction over the defeat of the
bill in the Ohio Legislature last night
which, if passed, would have empower
ed Governor Cox to prevent the match.
Willard today received word from
Steamboat Bill" Scott, a light heavy
weight who has just returned from
France, expressing his willingness to
join the champions staff of sparring
partners Immediately upon his dis
charge from the service at Camp Sher-
man. Scott formerly was a sparing
mate of Wizards. lie returned from
France holding the championship hon
ors of the Sixth division
Admirers of Dempsey are surprised
over the weight of the challenger who
tipped the scales yesterday at POI
pounds, wearing only his trunks and
boxing shoes. None believed Demp-
sey weighed within 10 pounds of that
figure. There was nothing suspicious
about Dempsey's weighing yesterday.
1t was done in the presence of nearly
TWO score of newspaper men, u great
majority Of whom believed that the
challenger would scale somewhere be-
tween $50 and 1870 pounds The on
ly explanation of Dempsey's astonish-
ing increase in weight is that he
thrives on training, that he has been
permitted to eat what he wishes, has
been drinking considerable water and
that perhaps his daily plunge in Maum-
bee bay has put considerable poundage
on him instead Of reducing It.

hardly more precisely with alterations
