Cancer Is on Increase
 Throughout the World
Rx Assseiatnd Prnss

Washington. August 24. - Cancer probably the most dreaded of all the general diseases, is on the increase in the United States and throughout the world in spite of the fact that it is curable if treated early says state ment issued today by the public health, service. The statement gives figures recently compiled by the census bureau showing that in 1917 there were 61,452 deaths from cancer in the United States as compared with 112,S21 from pneu- monia, 110,2S5 from tuberculosis, 115,- 3s7 from heart diseases and S0,S12 from kidney diseases.
 The recorded cancer death rate, the health service asserts, shows about two and half more cases every year, the rate having advanced from 62 to g per 100000 population in 1900 to S16 in 1917
 The health service statement adds that the prevailing preponderant belief in the medical world today is that cancer can be cured, that it is not con tagious and that it is not heriditary. Early treatment by competent phy sicians is emphatica1ly recommended.

 ARCHDUKE JOSEPH MUST 60, SAYS SUPREME COUNCIL Tells Hungarian Govern ment There Is Nothing Doing With Allies With
 Such a Head
By Associated prs.s

Paris. August s4.--The supreme
 council tonight sent the following
 note to the Hungarian government
 in which announcement was made
 that the council would have no
 dealings with . government headed
 by Archduke Joseph or any other
 member of the Hapsburg family:
 "The allied and associated powers have been further considering informa- ton derived from our reports and from other sources as to recent events in Budapest. Their conclusions are as fol- lows
 "They are most anxious to concede a durable peace with the Hungarian people but they feel that this cannot be done while the present Hungarian government is in power. That govern ment came into existence not by the will of the people but by a coup detat carried out by small body of police under the protection of foreign army.
 Tt had as it's head a member of the house of Hapsburg, whose policies and actions were largely responsible for the calamities under which the world is suffering and will long suffer. A peace negotiated by such government is not likely to be lasting; nor can the allied and associated governments give the economic support which Hun gary needs.
 In its reply that Archduke Joseph is prepared, before approaching the all lied and associated governments, to submit his claim to the test of popular cedure cannot be satisfactory if the administration which the archduke himself controls.
 The difficulties in the way of ob- taining by election of a faithful reflec- tion of the popular will are in the un- happy state of Hungary most serious They would be overwhelming if an cleo tion were carried out under Hapsburg influences. Even if an assembly elect ed under such circumstances were real ly approved no one would think so.
 'In the interest, therefore. of Flu ropean peace the allied and associated governments mean to insist that the present claimant to the leadership of the Hungarian state should resign and that a government. in which all parties are represented, should appeal to the Hungarian people.
 "The allied and associated powers would be prepared to negotiate with any government which possessed the confidence of an assembly so elected

ON WAY BACK


 Marfa, Tex, August A-Three hundred American cavalry troops tonight were making their way back to the Rio Grande through driving rain storm after an un- successful campaign begun last Tuesday to overtake the bandits who captured and held for ransom Lieutenants liar old G. Peterson and Paul H. Davis. They were scheduled to reach Ruidoza at S:36 o'clock tonight
 Contact with Carranza soldiers also on the trai1 of the bandits and heavy rain which wiped out the fresh trails resulted in a decision to abandon the chase. The Mexican federals were encountered last night by . scout patrol and after con- ference army officers decided to abandon the pursuit until this morning. Mean while the rain had wiped out the trails of the bandits who were only few hours ahead of the Americans.
 The punitive expedition is returning in 2ngle column with three cavalry troops leading, pack trains machine gun troops and other units following. Two troops are acting as rear guards. The six days below the border resulted in the killing of four bandits by troops and the death of one by machine gun bullets from an airplane. Nine bandits, said to be part of the Renteria band were captured at Coyame. in a dance hall by Carranza soldiers.
 Reports that Jesus Renturia. leader of the bandits had been killed, were brought to the border today, but could not be confirmed.

He continued then with out hindrance, the expedition reaching 8 position 50 miles south of the border.
 Colonel Langhorne tonight said the ex- petition was considered a success from a military standpoint. He pointed to the killing of five bandits and the arrest of six suspects by the Americans and the capture of nine by Carranza troops at Corame.
 The immediate reason fur withdrawal. he said, was that there no longer was any prospect of capturing other bandits. and there were no more hot trails to fol- low.

It was from General Antonio Pruneda, commander of the Ojinaga, Mexico, district.
