The" supply problem contin ued to overshadow today all other matters having to do with the American punitive expedi tion in Mexico. Indications from Washington that the rail roads would not be made avail able for the use of the Ameri can expedition in the immedi- ate future came as unwelcome cows today to department . headquarters' here. 'Because' of the imperative Med for the use of the rail roads, it had been hoped by of ficials here that otncials, in .Washington would find some way of securing a favorable answer from Carranza in re gard to the use of the roads. With tho railroads closed against him, General Funston now faces the problem of sup jilyijir. General Pershing's ex peditionary forces for a consid vM period by motor trucks and wagons. This means that he must send great quantities of supplies a. distance-of 250 n.ik-3 south of the border in motor trucks and wagons, j through a country which is but a "barren waste of sand." In order to meet this situation, General Funston has asked for additional motor trucks. . Four companies totalling 107 trucks already are in op eration, carrying supplies for the expedition and two addi tional companies are to bo ad ded to the service as quickly as .the cars can be purchased and Bent to the border.

An Asheville young man was down I and out, gloomy, discouraged and sick with doubt; he was hungry, and hadn't even a dime but he met a street ur chin just in time; a little news boy, who had a big heart, and was willing to give our hero a start. And gladly, to earn a bRe to eat, he set out to sell papers, down the street. Pretty Polly, tripped forth, with her doting dad, a girl that would make any cynlo glad, and in quite the regular, oldtlmo way, she dropped her pocketbook Just like a play. t Now Leonard,- that is our hero's name, thus given the very first Btep to fame, picked up the purse and won her smile, and something. Just then, that was more worth while; for, Dad caught on to his pitiful plight, and came to the rescue, with mlghter-not mite. He gave him a Job, a chance to work; and Leonard wasn't a, bit t-m shirk. It happened, it's strange how things come about, the foreman had turned two bad men out, and Leonard heard them plotting at noon, to blow un the boss and his family soon, or course he shadowed the rogues, wouldn't you? This really was quite the thing to do, and saw them set out with the fateful bomb, and right hero thines are beginning to hum! At tho home of Polly they planted the thing, and took to flight, like a bird to wing. Our hero grabbed it full of dare, and atnrtad a Marathon, after tne pair. He hurled it after them, crlsh, whiz, bing! And the wedding bells began to ring, right then, for the course of i love sn true, as the way of lovers sel dom do, ran, isn;t it fine, as smoothly am a-lnas: and of course lucky Leonard won the lass. To think that all this hir.ncm here. It really mattes one feel richt aueer. You will see It soon in the very best way, in The Asheville Times' fine cam era play.'
