FORTY MEXICANS
KILLED AT PARRAL
(Continued from Page One),
word from Washington has arrived
that indicates the administration de
sires any alteration in the orders that
placed the punitive force in Mexico.
It is understood that General Fun
ston has notified the War Department
that effective pursuit cannot be car
ried on unless radical means are taken
to assist General Pershing, who is at
the extreme southern end of his line
of communications from where the de
tached columns of cavalry are in oper
ation along the trails to the south in
the direction of the Chihuahua-Duran-go
state line. Villa is believed now to
be in the state of Durango.
The Parral incident served to dem
onstrate the difficulty of communica
tion. The field wire General Pershing
has laid behind him has been cat
scores of times and his equipment for
wireless communication is exceedingly
limited, according to official admission.
PRIVATE MESSAGES RKP6RT
CONDITIONS MORE TRANQUIL
El Paso, Tex., April 15. Two private
messages received here today from Par
ral served to allay to some degree the
apprehension which had grown deeper
with every hour's continued silence on
the part of General Funston and Wash
ington. One message received by an English
man with large mining interests in
Parral was from his wife and merely
said his family was well and that there
was no cause for worry.
The second "received by the American
head of another Parral mining con
cern, said conditions were gradually be
coming more tranquil.
At the same time unofficial reporf s
from Mexican sources were more
gloomy than at any time since the first
news of the fighting was made public
by General Obregon. One of these re
ports was brought by a Mexican su
perintendent of a Parral mining plant.
He declared that he. had knowledge that
the fighting at Parral had been on a
very large scale and that a majority of
the American force had been wiped out.
The report was made by the superin
tendent to an American employer who
said that the man had worked for him
20 years and he had the utmost confi
dence in him..
During the..Iast few days the cen
sorship at Columbus has been screwd
down to the last notch and nothing id
regard to military affairs has been per
mitted to come across the wire.
The sixth infantry brigade and parts
of three other regiments stationed in
Douglas, Ariz., have been ordered to.
prepare to move at a moment's notice,
rations and ammunition being served
out last night.
The only explanation offered by army
officers here of the military activity
along the border is that normal pre
cautions are being taken in view of
the diplomatic crisis which has arisen
between Washington and General Car
ranza. General Gavira, the Carranza com
mander at Juarez reiterated tonight
his belief that no serious friction
would arise between the two coun
tries. QUIET PREVAILS. ALONG
LINE OP COMMUNICATION.
Columbus, N. M.. April 15. Military
reports reaching Columbus tonight tell
of quiet prevailing along the American
line of communication between here
icKd Casas Grandes. General Arnulfo
Gomez's command, the whereabouts of
which had puzzled intelligence officers,
was located today, but nothing con
tained in the dispatches was revealed,
other than the Mexican forces are not
advancing in such way as might men
ace the supply route.
It was admitted h.ere that all pre
cautionary steps ordered by General
Funston to guard the line and meet
any eventuality have been taken, "and
detachments at Boca Grande, Espia and
Ascencion have been reinforced. A
rumor- that a truck train had been fired
upon norht of Casas Grandes was dis
credited generally.
Trucks with drivers stood in readi
ness to carry troops rapidly to any
threatened point.
For the first time in several days
communications were received here
over the army wireless from General
Pershing, but the contents of th; mes
sages were not revealed.
Quartermasters' reports here indicate
that the hardships which some advanc
ed expeditionary detachments have ex
perienced as a result of inability to
obtain supplies have been overcome
( and that all of the troops now in the
' field are provided amply with food and
equipment.

Two More Provisions for Federalizing
.National Guard Adopted.
Washington, April 15. Two more
provisions designed to strengthen the
Federal status of the National Guard
were written into the Senate army bill
today. .
In the course of debate, enlivened by
the charge that Federal funds provid-

ed the National Guard' in. past years
had been foolishly thrown; away and
in some cases embezzled, . the Senate
adopted amendments providing that all
officers of the guard above the rank of
captain be paid $500 a year by the
Federal government and that all
guardsmen on enlistment be required
to take an oath to obey orders from
the President, as well as the governor
of their respective states.
The attack on guard officers for their
use of Federal funds was made by Sen
ator Borah, in a speech opposing the
Reed amendment for Federal pay. The
Idaho Senator declared that $8,000,000
available annually for use of. the guard
under the Dick Militia law had been
shamefully utilized by officers . to the
exclusion of enlisted men and that
some of it had been "embezzled."
Senators Reed, Pomerene and others
defended the guardsmen, and the Fed
eral pay amendment was adopted 41
to 14.

Wilmington, N. C.
Almost every day we are told: "Isn't
Winoca Terrace growing and improv
ing?" It certainly is, without a doubt.
It is even hard to remember that "this,
one of the most beautiful parts of Wil
mington, was but a wilderness four
years ago. V
The improvements and the advance
ment "will continue. The wise person
will buy now, and as the values are
made, get his share of it. t .
On Thirteenth street, between Chest
nut and Grace, we have about finished
(one is finished) two splendid modern
homes.
We are going to sell this house at
cost. It will be a bargain, and certain
ly very much cheaper than the occasion
al builder of homes could possibly ouiid
for. The materials are the, best. The
workmanship good, and the design
splendid. . , .
Let us show this to you.
Stop paying rent. Own your own
home in this rapidly improving section.
Come, in and see us.
Yours very truly,
J. 6. Wright & Son
Real Estate and Insurance Agent.
