The acute revolution ary situation along the northern bor der of Mexico has moved the Ameri can government to rush twelve ad ditional troops of cavalry to the fron tier to preserve the neutrality ot the United States. : The American mili tary forces will prevent not only the movement of revolutionary bands from this country into Mexico, but also will prohibit defeated revolutionists with ariiu from seeking refuge on the territory of the United States. This action was based upon strong representations from t:ie Mexican gov ernment to the effect that armed bands of revolutiarles hare been en tering Mexico at isolated place.3 along the southern boundary of the UnUed States. Furthermore, it was declared, revolutionists have crossed the Kio Grande from Mexico, entering the L'aited States for the purpose of mak ing their way undisturbed through American territory and then re-entering Mexico for t ie purpose of operat ing against a strategic point. In re ply to the protests of Mexico, the United States government has assured that country that every measure will be adopted with a view to preventing any violation of a neutral attitude on the part of the United States.

National House of Representatives Favors Western City for the Great Show in 1915. m San Francisco, Cal. With the bursting of bombs, the shrieking of steam whistles, and the ring- ing of bells, the news that San Francisco had won the first vie- lory in the Panama exposition contest, was announced to the people of this city. Washington. The house of repre sentatives by a vote of 188 to 159, decided In favor of San Francisco, and against New Orleans, as the city in which an exposition to ceiebrat6 ciie opening of the Panama canal in 1915 shall be held. This vote was taken on a roll call to determine whether San Francisco resolution or the Mew Orleans bill should have consideration in the house. Ou a final vote the San Fran- oisco resolution was passed by a vote of 259 to 43. San Francisco won by capturing the Republican vote in the house. New Orleans' support came from the Dem ocrats. Only thirty Republican voted tor Xew Orleans. Thirty-six Demo crats voted for San Francisco. The San Francisco resolution does not ask for government aid In any form. It simply authorizes the president of the United States to invite foreign na tions to participate iri the fair. An effort 'to amend the resolution to include provisions for an interna tional naval from Hampton Roads through the Panama canal and up the west coast to San Francisco was de feated on a parliamentary point of order. The New Orleans bill called for an appropriation of $1,000,000 for a gov ernment exhibit and the creation of a government commission. BANK DEPOSITS DECREASE. Greatest Decrease in Deposits Is Now 158,000,000 Was Withdrawn. Washington. Deposits of individu als in the 7,200 national banks of the United States decreased $191,5t6,48S between November 10 and January 7, a situation probably unprecedented in the reports made to the comptroller of the currency. Of that sum, more than $158,000,000 was withdrawn from the thirty-nine national banks of New York City. No two officials ot the treasury agree as to where the money went. Some areot the opinion that part of it njight have gone to strengthen the Sew York state banks and trust companies dur ing the flurry caused by the so-called Robin failure early lu the mouth. All of the treasury ot'iicials, however, ex pressed great interest in what expla nations the New York bankers might give. A comparison with the national banks of Chicago snows that the drop was confined almost entirely to New York City. The eleven Chicago banks reported a loss of $9,000,000 on indi vidual deposits. The reserve banks of the' Western and Pacific states and the New Kngland states all show losses, but comparatively small ones. One peculiar aspect of the drop was that the New York banks alone lost as much as the- combined- banks of the country had gained in November. Another feature of the situation which greatly puzzles the treasury experts in that in spite of the enor mous slump in deposits the banks are still holding a higher percentage of reserve than they were in Novem ber, and the tot"! loss In loans and discounts of the .whole country has been only $18,000,000, while there has been a gain in cash ot -more than $20,- 000,000. -.'v i-., The banks of the South are about the only ones showing, gains of de posits. That is said to be because they, are now being paid for cotton. Reductions of loans is the rule, how ever, all over' the country, and this is said necessarily to follow such a sharp reduction ot deposits." . N ' All Ship Subsidy Graft. ' Washington. John ; W.
