U, s. Dispatches FlOtilla of DestrQenll CTS to Southern Waters but Washington Says Foreign
 CTS are Not in Danger

Washington. May 5.-Recognition oil Carranza's rapidly diminishing pow-I CT in Mexico was admitted by Govern- ment officials today but the despatchI of flotilla of destroyers to south ern waters was not taken to lndlcate that foreigners are in immediate dan ger. The six destroyers which sailed from New York will arrive at Key West tomorrow and will be used only in the event that necessity arises. Before his departure, Captain Byron Long, commanding the flotilla, con- ferred with the secretary of the navy who gave him instructions as to poll icy.
 Development of the revolution asI reported to the government has been; so rapid as to convince many offi- cials and especially army officers, that Carranza can not maintain hls authority much longer, not so much because he is opposed by formld-i able military force as because his ar; my is daily dissolving before the reb-' els advance instead of offering bat- tie.
 Information obtained through of ficial channels has been the basis of an estimate that places the strength of the rebels at almost double that of the government. The co-ordina- tion of the rebel forces has been hindered rather than aided by the rapidity with which new groups form 1 in the different states and the promptness with which the federal garrsons have joined in the move-l ment even before being directly threatened.
 1 Rebel claims that Carranza would have difficulty in leaving the coun-l l try are supported by reports from official sources.
 CarranZa COoped In.
 East and west coast ports are clos- ed to him by the operations of rebels units at various places along the corl- meeting lines. His entry into the United States might yet be effected over the long line of railroad from the capital to Laredo and the possi-, bilty of escape through the Tehuan4 tepre isthumus into Guatamala req mains, although such route is re- garded as fmpracticable owing to rebs el operations in zones he would have to cross.
 In any event, the revolutionists as-s sert, his departure would have to be. made after the manner of an ordinary fugitive ana not ike that. or so many deposed Latin-American rulers.
 Such information as was available here continued to indicate the blood less character of the revolution. The! southward movement of the rebelsl along the west coast was continued, but no reports of any engagements were received. The request for naval protection at ports on the east coast was construed by the government m a precautionary. Although no overt act has been recorded in the vicinity of any. of the ports, it is understood British consular officers concurred with American representatives that ships should be available near Tam~ pico, Tuxpan, Vera Cruz and FrOu3 teras to afford a refuge for foreign4 CTS if conflict made temporary faS tirement advisable.

 WON'T STAND FOR WINES AND BEER
Tell Democrats to Stay Right of Face De-
 feat

Milwaukee, Wis, May 5.-Threat- ening the democratic party with the loss of the women's vote in Wiscon- sin, if the men leaders of the party dared to temuorize in any degree with the "wets," Mrs. Clinton M. Barr, state vice chairman of Wis consin women democrats, created a sensation at the meeting of Wiscon sin democratic national convention delegates and women this afternoon.
 Her speech was frequently inter- rupted with applause by the women, while the men looked astounded. Old politicians on the mems side had care fully avoided mentioning anything of the dry and wet question in speech es which preceded here.
 "The democratic party now has the opportunity to gather to it almost the solid women's votes," said Mrs. Barr. "Even republican women are disgusted at the antics of the repub- lican senate. =
 "But there are things in the demo- cratic party which the women of Wisconsin will not stand for. If you put a plank in the platform at San Francisco which gives light beer or wine and makes other concessions to the vets, the women will not vote for the democrataic party"
 A canvass of the women indicated that they were unit "against wet plank"
 The men composing the delegation proper did not discuss "wet" or "dry" specifically, but adopted a resolution to be governed by majority vote on resolutions.

Rate of Discount
 Not Cause of Low
 Liberty Bond Price

Washington, May 5.-Increased discounts rates- allowed by the fed eral reserve board to member banks are not responsible for market pri- ces of Liberty bonds, Governor Hard ing said in letter today to Sena- tor Owen, Oklahoma.
 The boards efforts to curb infla- tion will do much to increase the market value of the bonds, MT. Hard ing said, adding that "the value of promise to pay certain sum at a future date is impaired by the i'm flation which the board is trying to control"

SOUTHERN IL.R0ADS
 ARE EARN!NG UNDER ONE PER GENT NET
Markham Says Higher Rates Needed to Rehabilitate
 Credit

Washington, May 5.-With an esti- mated property investment of $2,2S4,- 000,000 southern railroad systems, are deriving less than one per cent return. An increase of $120, ,770, ,000 will be required to bring the revenue to the six per cent basis provided in the transportation act.
 o. II. Markham, president of the Illinois Central railroad, submitted these statements to the interstate commerce commission today in his brief in support of the request of the southern roads for increased rates- He estimated the increase re- quired to be 20.7 per cent on the to- tai, or 30.9 per cent if derived en- tirely from freights, as recommended to the commission.
 In order that distribution of .traf- flee shall not be disturbed the state ment recommended special treatment in the case of carload commodity rates on coal, cement, coke, stone and other low grade mineral products. Increases proposed on coal and coke vary from thirty to ninety cents a ton; to cement from fifty cents to I$1.40 a ton, on building lime 35 cents to $1.00 ton, and on sand gravel, etc., from 25 to 50 cents a ton.
 It is proposed to advance all other rates 31 per cent.
 Any schedule of rates yielding less than six per cent on the investment Mir. Markham contended, would not enable the carriers to finance their growth.
 Funds for the construction of additional lines and facilities had only been obtained through the sale of securities" he said. Railroaod se- curities cannot, to an adequate ex- tent, be sold on a basis that is not prohibitory until there is a rehabili- tation of the credit of railroads"

Would Have Air Department on Par
 With Army, Navy

Chicago. May 5.-Creation of an aviation department on par with the army and the navy departments and the maintenance of an efficient chemical warfare service were urged as measures of preparedness today by Benedict Crowell, assistant secretary of state in an address before the Chicago Association of Commerce. France, Great Britain, Italy and Germany are forging ahead of us in the development of aviation," he said. Germany probably is five years ahead of any other nation and does not suffer from the loss of her fleet, because she counts upon her air fleet to take it's place in any future war;"
