WARNS AGAINST BORDER RAID
Corralltoa Garrison Wiped Out by Out
law Force—Not* Accepting Peace
Offer Sent to Mexico City.
On instruction* from General
Carranza the Mexican embassy
advised the state department ol
the virtual destruction of a de
facto government force, Wednesday,
by a large Villa band at Corrall
tos, In Chihuahua state, and suggested
that the American border patrol exer
else all possible vigilance to prevent
tho outlaws from raiding into the
United States.
In his despatch, Carranza saffl he
feared the bandits bad crossed the
desert In an attempt to reach the bor
der mid cause further difficulties. He
suggested that the American troop;
patrol carefully between Iloqulllas an"
OJlnaca, Texas, and promised over}
possible effort would be made by hit
forces to apprehend and destroy the
bandits.
This new attitude of Carranza anil
bis u'lviHors Is a distinct relief to the
United States. Orders Immediately
were sent to commanders on the bor
der to keep their trbops ready for any
eventuality. The vorjt fact that In ad
mlttlng the situation was grave, the
embassy said the threatened trouble
came from Vllllsta sources, led ofll
cluls to accept the reports that Fran
Cisco Villa still I* alive, and becom
Ing again a serious factor In Mercl

According to nn offlclail statement
Issued by the embassy, the Carranzs
garrison at Corralltoa was "almost de
stroyed" by the attack. Whether Villi
was In personal command I* not
known, although administration offi
clals bellevo he was.
The announcement and warning wa>
received by Secretary of State I.an
sing and Presldont Wilson while the
cabinet was in session. It was accept
ed as Indicating a change of heart b>
the do facto government, and the eabl
net officials arc understood to have
agreed that, coupled with tho lateral
declaration of principles by Carranza
It Indicates there will be no obstacle
raised to a complete settlement of the
Issues at stake by diplomatic meas

A note formally accepting Genera'

VILLA HEADED FOR BORDER
Bandlta Moving Toward Boquillaa,
Texaa, Report to Waahington.
I A second warning that Villa fepndlts
are headed for the "Big Bend" district
of Texas was given to the state de
partment by Ellseo Arredondo, the
Mexican ambassabor designate.
He told Frank L. Polk, coumellor of
■ the stato department, and acting sec
retary of state, his government had
given him definite Information that
the bandits were moving northward to
wrd Boqullls, Texas, and promised co
operalon of Carranza forces.
I Mr. Arredondo said he had no infor
mation regarding the number of ban
dits or their distance from the Ameri
can line. The first warning of their
approach was last week. The Infor
i matlon was sent to the war depart
ment and forwarded to General Funs
ton.
1 News that Villa again Is active and
' Is attracting numbers of deserters from
1 Carranza's army to his cause, are
• reaching the state department from
. many sources. No attempt Is made to
disguise the fact that any real sue-
I cesses by Villa at this time would
prove dangerous.
I It is considered likely that if the
'■ Carranza forces are unable to hold
Villa In the south that he will attempt
1 another raid against tho International
■ boundary. Villa Is said to have se
cured a large quantity of machine
guns and rifles, together with a vast
' quantity of ammunition, that had been
cached in the mountains.

"The gates which we openei with

This was said In Baltimore by the
man Germany will rank among her
greatest heroes, Captain Paul Koenlg,
commander of the supersubmerslbfle
lieutsr bland, pioneer and creator of a
new epoch In world transportation.
"It was nothing," be said modestly.
"Your own nation could do It. Why
haven't you?"
u Koenlg brought the queerest and
most remarkable of transatlantic
iibips ever seen into dock In a branch
of the Patapsco river. A few hours
later she was formally entered at the
port of Baltimore as the German mer
chant vessel Deutschland, unarmed,
bearing a cargo of dyes for the Unit
ed States, regarded as Immensely val
uable. and carrying three officers and
a crew of twenty-six men, all of whom
Bre well.
That formal entry of the vessel has
settled all do.bt* regarding the status
of the German nupersubmarlne, her
captain and agents think, although
Washington says the qeustlon is not
absolutely settled.
Other such vessels will follow her
Into Atlantic ports o* the United
States. Where tbey will arrive none
may know. The next will be the
Bremen, and she may arrive In eight
weeks, or maybe before. By that tima
the Deutschland will have gone out
Into the Atlantic once more, carrylnig
another Immensely valuable cargo
from the United States, a large quan
tity of German mall with which it is
not desired the allies shall tamper,
and the good wishes and "Godspeed"
of many Americans who, without
prejudice or nationality, can aay,
"There go men!"
For days, maybe weeks, the Deut
schland will lie at the pier that was
built to receive her In Baltimore,
guarded as If she were so much gold.
It is proper this should be so, for
lier cargo rlvala In value the fabulous
ly valuable treasures of the galleons
of the Spanish Main.
A million dollars In the value placed
haphazard on the cargo. Manufactur
ers and chemists did not hesitate to
say that the  nrgo may be sold In
America for $20,000,000, or maybe
more.
Dyes now are quoted at S2O a pound,
they say. The Deutschland bears some
thing like 700 tons of them. Drugs
and medicines are expensive beyond
all estimates. Salversan is S4B an
ounce. Acetanllld is worth about that
much the pound. The Deutschland Is
said to have a quantity of both these
drugs in her csrgo and many others
equally as valuable.
There was no limit to the reckoning
of value by those who are especially
Interested in the cargo of the subma
rine. Undoubtedly, she carries, pro
portionately to her capacity, the most
valuable • argo ever brought to the
United States.
The boat that brought It here colt
$500,000.
As she lies at her dock the Deutsch
land Is protected on every side. The
pier Is guarded by a score of Baltimore
police and by a horde of apeclal offlc

against the pier, and on the outside Is
a long scow ao high in the water as

end of the pier another shorter scow

k GENERAL SURVEY OF
THE
TUESDAY.
The heaviest fighting on the new
battle front In France has been on
tbe southern end of the line, where thr
French advanced south and east of
Asrevlllers, capturing a wood and the
village of Barleux and Belloy-En-San
terre. They also have takeS the great
er part of the village of Estrees wbere
600 prisoners fell into their hands. •
The German counter attacks against
the British have been particulariy
, heavy the past twenty-four hours. Un
der the German pounding the British,
while able to hold the captured town
of La Bolsselle, lost a portion of the
defensive positions south of it.
the Thlaumont work, near Verdun,
around which some of the bloodiest
fighting of the wsr has taken place,
l has been captured by the Ge'nans for
i the fourth time, according t? the offi
cial statement Issued by the Frenctf
| war offlce.
WEDNESDAY.
Yard by yard tbe German lines are
being pushed back by the allies under
the steady hammering of their offen
sive movement on the western front
. New progress for both the French and
. the British Is reported by Paris and
I London. While keeping tip the work
! of clearing the southern bank of the
i Somme tbe French are now pushing
eastward from Curlu, north of that
stream, and have carried two lines of
German trenches there.
The advance on the south bank ln
i eluded the capture of Sormont farm,
opposite Clery, which Is four and a
half miles northwest of Peronne, the
i apparent French objective. This im
, portant German supply centre Is al
i ready under fire of the French guns.
Fighting at Verdun continues wjth un
abated fury.
Petrograd reports gains in their of
fensive against that part of the Aus
tro-Gernjan centre held by Prince Leo
pold of Bavaria. Cossacks are report
ed to be raiding on the Hungarian
plains.
THURBDAY.
After capturing second line German
positions along a six-mile front south
of the Somme, In northern France, and
making notable advances north of that
stream, the French temporarily halted
their Infantry offensive. Hard fight
ing continued along the British line
and a slight advance was scored by
General Halg's forces In the vicinity
of Thlepval.
The French push to the south of
the river now threatens Barieux and
Villers-Carbonnel, crucial positions in
the German defence of the railway
center of Peronne.
Russian forces have broken through
the first line positions of von Hinden
burg in the Rye sector, according to
Petrograd advices. The Russians
have cut the railway from Korosmezo,
Hungary, to Lemberg, and threaten to
flank General von Botbmer's army.
FRIDAY.
A great battle Is raging along virtu
ally the entire front of the British of;
fenslve In northern France. At day
break the British launched a new drive
east of Albert. Important tactical suc
cesses were gained in several sectors,
. London announces.
The Germans simultaneously attack
ing near the river Ancre and north of
' Frlcourt, succeeeded in temporarily
occupying two or three hundred yards
of ground lost In tbe earlier British
' drives.
There Is a comparative lull in the
t fighting about Verdun so far as the ln
. fantry is concerned, but artillery ac
, tlona on the right bank of the Meuse
' are still violent.
Berlin admits a defeat by the Rus
sians In Volhynla, forcing the aban
donment of a salient toward Czarto
l rysk. Unofficial petrograd advices to
Italy assert that the Germans, defeat
ed In three main sectors, are retiring
along the entire Russian front. Other
despatches tell of a terrific bombard
ment of the Riga lines and of an ap
parent Austrian collapse along the
Dnelster.
BATURDAY. ,
In the Anglo-French'offensive in
northern France the British are
strengthening the positions won yes
terday In their drive to bring their
lines up to a level with those of the
French on their right flank. Heavy
French guns now being brought up
are counted upon to assist in a further
advance of the British by pounding
the southerly side of the German sa
lient south and east of ContaJmalaon.
Petragrad announces further prog
ress in the Czartorysk region, the cap
ture of Manevichl, bringing the Rus
sians within eleven miles of Kovel.
The offensive Is being waged with in
creasing intensity In four zones. Gen
eral von Bothmer, In the south, has

i"GREATER THAN FIRE LOSS" S
• —,— •
• By PROP. H. H. KING, 2
• Kansas State Agricultural College. •
• Lack of paint causes a great- •
• CT annual loss through deterlora- •
• tlon than the aggregate Kansas •
• Are loss for twelve months. Yes, •
• there is much more reason for a •
2 real "Clean Up and Paint Up" •
• campaign than the average lay- •
J man would at first recognize. •
• Paint, as has often been said, *
2 serves more than the mere pur- •
• pose of decoration. Its principal •
2 value lies In the fact that It pro- •
• longs the life of the surfaces •
2 painted. •
• Wood and Iron on exposure *
J to the air undbrgo a slow proc- 2
• ess of oxidation, which Just as •
2 surely destroys them as though 2
• they were set on Are, the dlf- •
2 ference being the speed at which •
• the reaction occurs. •
2 We take out Insurance to eov- •
• er loss by Are and should Just as •
*-2 surely put on paint to cover loss 2
• by decay. It takes very little •
2 calculation to discover the ap- 2
• parently astounding fact that •
2 the loss through lack of palut- 2
• lng is greater In Kansas than •
2 the loss by fire. 2
• When the property owner •
2 comes to a full realization of the 2
• true reason for painting there •
2' will be no need for public spir- 2
2 lted people to back up a Na- •
2 tlonal Campaign for such a pur- 2
• pose. V#
