MEXICO CITY The big cam paign of the war between Mexican federal troops and the revolutionists has settled down to maneouvering for the best position in the district surrounding Torreon. The biggest battle of the war is expected to oc- cur there within a few days as the federal forces under the command of General Gales continue their steady advance against the rebel forces under the command of Gener- al Escobas.
 The rebellion has practically col 1apsed outside of the state of Sonora and the Torreon district where the insurrectos have concentrated their strength and the fighting may be bitter. Nevertheless the govern ment claims that it will have the re- bellion in hand within a few days. Gales advance guard is said to have reached the Rio Grande. Troop transportation has been slow due to there having been so many railroad bridges destroyed.

Robert Edmunson is a recent ar- rival in Wrangell on a visit to home folks for a few weeks. He returned to the states last spring from spend ing two years in the U. S. Air Corps in the Philippines, having his base at Manila. During his absence from the states he visited China, Japan, Guam and Honolulu, besides having been on numerous flights over sev- eral of the southern islands. Last summer he added to his adventures by embarking on the sea of matri- mony when he was united in mar riage to Miss Anne Marie Lemier of Cascade, Montana, who expects to join him here in the near future.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.-Major H o. D. Segrave, the famous British
 race driver, set a new worlds auto mobile speed record by driving his twelve-cylinder Golden Arrow" at 231.4 miles an hour over the smooth sandy beach here. The new mark surpasses the old record of 207.5 miles an hour, which was set by Andy Keech, by nearly 24 miles. Segrave's mark was set by the aver age speed of two runs up and down
 over a measured course of one mile. The British speed demons sensation al performance was witnessed by an immense throng which wi d l y cheered him. Spectators who saw the test said the car looked more like bullet than an automobile. After the test he announced his determi- nation to retire from the racing game and devote his time to the au- tomobile manufacturing business
 Jim White, another contender, had to postpone his attempt on account of the rapidly rising wind and tide.

WASHTEGTON-The indications are that the Republican leaders of the senate will accept the proposal to extend the scope of the comming congress to include legislation other than that of farm relief and the limited upward revision of the tariff question. The proposed extended program contemplates the consider ation of a new re-apportionment Of the house of representatives and the postponement of the effectiveness of the national origination system of determining the immigration quotas The proposal for the extension of the extra session of the legislative bodies originated in the house of represent atiyes.

GENEVA-The virtual agreement for the adhesion of the United States to the world court was reached by the committee of jurists today. The formula in its final form is the work of Sir Cecil Hurst. the British dele gate and M. Politics, of Greece, whc took the original plan which had been submitted by Elihu Root, the American delegate, and had made notifications in it. MT. Root, after studing the Hurst document express ed his hearty concurrence, but will nevertheless take the time to thoroughly examine and study every angle of it. It is understood that the points which still require re- vision are minor ones that will not require the international exchangf of notes and the prospects are good that the Hurst treatise will be accepted by the jurists within a day or two.
