cisco Villa, with «00 men. was at Santa
Clara ranch, thirty miles east of Naml
cuipa. on September 22, for the imme
diate purpose of capturing trains near
Laguna and with the idea of striking
north and invading Texas in the vicinity
of Fabens, according to the latest re
port of the bandit leader’s movements
received tonight at field headquarters
The following leading adherents are
said to be with Villa: Jose Inez Salazar.
Martin ixipez, three Murga brotners,
Nikolas Fernandez. -Villa himself is said
to be unable to walk without a crutch
or to put hi« right foot on the ground.
The horses ?n his band are reported to
be in poor condition, and his followers
are said to be in rags.
The American expeditionary headquar
ters declined to vouch for the authen
ticity of the reports, but it is believed
possible Villa might enter the Santa
Clara country for the purpose of recruit
ing or securing a base from which he
could attack trains and obtain supplies.
This region is his old stamping ground.
The report makes no mention of a
pursuing force, but the fact that Car

Crossing of Border Is
Regarded as Invasion
(By Associated Press.)
EL PASO. Tex,. Sept. 28.—That the
cressing of the Mexican frontier by
afmed American soldiers is still regard
ed as an act of invasion to be repelled
by armed force is revealed in a mes
sage received today by Consul Andres
Garcia from Colonel Jose Riojas, chief
of arms at Ojinaga, relative to the tres
pass committed in the Big Bend district
on September 19 and 21. For this act
General Funston has since ordered a
courtmartial of the offenders
After satisfying himself previously
that American soldiers had been into
Mexico. Colonel Riojas said that he or
dered Major Jesus Gallegos, command
ing the San Antonio district to keep a
strict watch and send back any patrols
crossing the line. On the 19th the Car
ranza soldiers who went to order back a
party of twelve Americans exchanged
shots with them. The message con
tinues: . i
•The 21st, another group of nine
Americans passed above San Antonio.
Five of our men were sent to tell them
the order issued. As before the Ameri
cans opened fire, which was answered.
An American horse was killed and pools
of blood were found, which showed that
some of the Invaders had been wounded.
This clash took place four leagues from
t’ne river, demonstrating that the main
j authors of the trouble were the Ameri
: cans and not my troops.*’
I Colonel Riojas said that the American
commander at Presidio. Tex., was con
vinced that his own men were at faulty
and had offered to make satisfactory
amends.
wick today gave out the following state
ment:
I have no desire to comment upon
either the propriety or good taste of
Mr. Dorsey's recent fling at the sen
ators from Georgia in his Macon
speech. For the present and for
sou.e time to come. I am satisfied
that Mr. Dorsey has both troubles
and responsibilities enough of his
own without airing his opinions and
views upon subjects that he knows
nothing about.
So tar as 1 ani concerned, I will
endeavor to lessen the "genuine re
gret" that lie professes to feel
upon the subject by informing him
that I have had no differences of
any knd with President Wilson that
affect in the slightest degree my
loyalty to the Democratic party or
to the president In the pending con-
I test.
While Mr. Dorsey, fresh from
consorting with bolters and other
enemies of the democracy in Geor
gia. Is resting upon the Democratic
nomination for governor that they
have helped to give him I shall be
in doubtful states fighting, as I
have always done, for the Demo
cratic ticket.

BT FBBDBXICX PALME*.
Correspondent of ths Associated Press

BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE. Sept. I
27.—(Midnight.) —Via London, Sept. 28. |
Ih the lull which has occurred after the j
great two days’ abttle in which five vil-■
lages and 5,000 prisoners were taken by I
the allies, the correspondent of the As-j
sociated Preps has had an opportunity
to glean many stories from the partlct-;
pants. These stories were not only of j
courage and heroism but of a humor!
and paradox possible oniy In such com- ;
plicated and remorseless warfares.
The moat wonderful of all the tales ■
told was perhaps that of one of the
tanks, or new armored motor cars,
which started for Berlin on its own ac
count. This monstrous land ship, am
bling and rambimg along, did not wait
on the infantry after the taking of
Guedecourt but plodded over shell holes
and across lots looking for its prey like
some prehistoric lizard. In course of
time it found a German trench but as it
engaged the occupants with its machine
guns it rar. out of gasoline.
When the Germans found this strange
creature, with its steel hide impenetra
ble to bullets, stalled, curiosity and a de
sire for revenge was a fillip to their
courage. They went after it with the
avidity of prehistoric man stalking a
wounded mammoth whose bulk was fast
in one of the alleys of the cave dwellers,
iNo such game was ever seen on this
! western front.
GERMANS SWARM ON IT.
According to the accounts give by
the British officers with veracious sol
emnity, while the tank’s machine guns
blazed right and left some of the Ger
mans managed to creep along the
trenches under the forelegs and hind
legs of the crouching beast.
Then they swarmed over it looking
for an opening through which to strike
at its vitals. They flred their rifles into
joints and bombed it all over, but to
no more avail than burglars trying to
reach the inside of a battleship turret
with a jimmy. All the while the tanks’
machine eruns kept busy- at the human
targets in reach, while its crew of chosen
daredevils concluded to stick until they
starved or the Germans found the proo
cr can-opener to get them out.
Finally the British infantry in the
rear seeing the tank in distress refused
to wait on any general's orders that
they should remain at the objective
which they had gained. They were out to
save that impounded tank and with a '
cheer they rushed the Germans and over
v. helmed them. When the crew heard the I
laughing and shouting in English they |
opened the door and called out: "We I
are all right if you will only get us |
some more juice so that the old girl i
can have a guzzle of her proper drink
and we can take the road again."
SEND FOR GASOLINE.
So the infantry formed a line In front j
of the tank determined to defend her to |
the last man while a runner was hur- I
ried back for a can of gasoline. The I
gasoline arrived and the beast, having
taken a swallow ambled back into re
serve amidst wild cheering. It left be
hind 260 dead Germans, according to its
i commander.
Another tank which did well in this
I fight assisted in the taking of Thlepval.
j There was once a chatetau in Thiepval.
The cellar is still there, roofed by the
dwelling, bricks, stone and mortar in a
thick shell of pounded debris which pro
tected it from penetration by even nine
land twelve-inch high explosives.
Here the Germans waited, smoking
their mild cigars and drinking soda wa
ter which was brought up through shell
proof underground tunnels while the
I ruins over their heads were belabored
| vainly by the British artillery. They
had the sense of security of an early
Kansas settler when he went below and
closed his cellar door during a cyclone.
Os course they had a machine gun ready
to welcome the Brltisn infantry in
stantly that the Britisn bombardment
stopped. When that gun began rattling
Mr. ?’homas Atkins took cover and con
sidered ways and means of silencing
it
His meditations were interrupted by
the appearance of a tank which, with
elephantine deliberation, lumbered
across trenches and, dipping its verte
hratcu ponderosity in and out of the
r.hell boles, made a quicx finish of the
cellar and its occupants.

WILSON SAVED FARMERS
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
IN HALTING RAIL STRIKE
PRINTERS OF NEW FORK
NOT lIILOWED TO STRIKE
President of I. T. 11. Declares
Contracts Must Be Ob
served to the Letter
NEW YORK. Sept. 28.—Renewed ef
forts were made today to extend the
general strike of all trade unions in this
city and Westchester county, which be
gan yesterday to enforce the demands of
the striking street railway men. Only
part of the total number of organized
werkers responded to the strike call on
the first day, the estimates of the num
ber going on strike ranging from 500 to
upward of 125,000. The maximum fig
ures were given out by the labor leaders.
Unions having a total membership of
f 64,000 are to vote on the strike today.
One of the most important of these or
ganizatlon is the New York Building
Trades council. It was announced that
7,000 brewery workers will strike today
but it is stated that these men have a
trade agreement which permits them to
have a holiday at this season every
year.
Members of the United Hebrew trades,
composing one of the largest divisions
of trade unionism in the city, are cele
brating the Jewish new year today.
Whether they will remain out on strike
cannot be determined until next week.
Today is the beginning of the third
week of the strike of the street car men.
The traction companies assert their
service is improving daily. Union lead
ers. however, see a possibility that the
motormen of the subway and elevated
lines may join the strike as a result of
grievances presented in their behalf by
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En
gineers.
Word has been received from Mars
den G. Scott, president of the Interna
tional Typographical union, that he has
advised the local unions here that the
executive committee of that organization
will not sanction a strike and that their
contracts with employers will be oo
served to the letter.
One passenger was injured when a
Third avenue elevated train was show
ered with bricks and bottles today.
Other Third avenue trains were also at
tacked, but the damage was limited to
broken windows. The police arrested
.'our men. two of them striking street
■ailway employes, on the charge of being
responsible for the riot that took place
last night following the derailment of
a Third avenue surface car at Ninety
sixth street.
The statement today by Ernest Bohm,
state organizer of the American Federa
tion of Labor, was:
“We have 163,000 out at this moment.
We will have quite a surprise for you
this afternoon. 1 am not bluffing when
I say this.”
Reports received at police headquar
ters today were that 12,000 tunnel work
ers on new subway construction were
preparing to strike.
DAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1916.
Frank G. Odell, Agricultural
Economist, Shows How
Heavy Loss and Paralysis of
Market Was Averted
BY BAX.PH SMITS
NEW YORK, Sept. 29.—One hundred
million dollars direct loss and paralysis
of the market is what the farmers and
fruit grotvers of the United States would
have suffered had not President Wilson
averted the railroad strike,” is the state
ment made today by Frank G. Odell, ag
ricultural economist and formerly agri
cultural statistician for the state of Ne
braska. Mr. Odell said:
“The certified returns made by the
226 railroads of the United States to the
interstate commerce commission show
that for the month of April, 1916, their
combined net earnings were seventy
eight million dollars more than for
April, 1915. The railroads’ plea of pov
erty is being used by the Republicans to
scare the farmer into believing, that he
would have to pay the cost of increased
freight rates if the eight-hour day
should compel the roads to pay more in
wages. The Republicans are not calling
attention to the fact that farmers would
have lost more by one week of strike
conditions than their alleged increase
of expense would have cost the railroads
in five years.
INSTANCE IS CITED.
“Take this single instance,” continued
Mr. Odell. The Seattle Times prints
this report of the fruit crop of the fa
mous Yakima valley in Washington:
NORTH YAKIM, Sept. 18.—It is
now practically certain that the 1916
fruit crop of the Yakima Valley will
be 10,000 carloads, 2,000 carloads
more than .ever before. The total
may even run over that figure. High
prices have encouraged the grow
ers to pick and ship all of their
fruit and as it was exceptionally
clean this year very little has gone
or will go to waste.
A return of $6,000,000 for those
10,000 carloads of fruit seems now
assured as few doubt apples will
average the 95 cents per box neces
sary to make this total.
"A general railroad strike would have
prevented the moving of this crop,
with a resultant loss of at least 50 per
cent, or a total loss of three million
dollars to the Yakima fruit growers.
“This.” Mr. Odell continued, “is indi
cative. of a similar and perha_ps larger
loss in the famous fbult growing dis
tricts of Wenatchee and the Okanogan,
in Washington: Hod river, Rogue riv
er. and Medford, in Oregon; the Bitter
Root valley, in Montana; the Lewiston-
Clarkson district in southwestern Wash
ington and Idaho; the beg melon crop
of Colorado and its equally important
apple and peach crop, and the immense
fruit crop of California.
VALUE OF CROPS.
“In 1915 the three principal fruit
crops of Missouri, apples, j>eaches and
pears, had a farm value of over $15.-
000.000; the same crops in Kansas were
worth nearly $9,000,000; in lowa, $6,-
ROO.OOO, and in ><’ebraska nearly $4,000,-
000. This does not take into account
FOUR CMIOIDJITESMW
RUN FOR SUPREME COURT
Gilbert, Harwell, Bloodworth
and Stephens Considered
Probabilities
There will probably be four candidates
for the place on the state supreme court,
made vacant by the recent death of As
sociate Justice Joseph Henry Lumpkin,
and which is being temporarily filled
by Judge S. Price Gilbert, of Columbus,
who was appointed by Governor Harris
The race will be decided in the regular
November election.
Judge Gilbert will undoubtedly run,
and it is expected that ne will be op
posed by Judge Frank Harwell, of La-
Grange; O. H. B. Bloodworth, of For
syth, and Alex W. Stephens, of Atlanta.
An effort was made by the Dorsey
leaders at the Macon convention to give
the nomination for the judgeship to
Judge Harwell, who was in charge of
the Dorsey headquarters during the gu
bernatorial campaign.
Such strong opposition developed to
this move that Judge Harwell, just a
short time before the convention ad
journed, got the floor and made an ad
dress in wnich he announced that he
wished to withdraw his name from con
sideration by the convention.
The opposition to the plan to compel
a nomination of Judge Harwell insisted
that if the plan was carried out it
would result in considerable embarrass
ment to Mr. Dorsey and his advisers*.
They pointed out that Mr. Dorsey, in
his own campaign platform, had taken
the position that nominations should be
made by the people voting and not by
a convention.
On the top of such a platform declara
tion, it was argued, the forced nomina
tion of Judge Harwell could only be
construed as the paying vS a political
debt by Mr. Dorsey and absolute
disregard by the Dorsey leaders of Mr.
Dorsey’s campaign platform.
Messrs. Bloodworth and Stephens, who
it is expected will be in the judgeship
race, were the two leading candidates
for the state court of appeals in the
recent primary, but lost out m the con
vention. Their friends are insisting
that because of the treatment accorded
them by the convention they should
run for the supreme court place.
early small fruits, grapes or melons. A
25 per cent loss on these values would
have been small in the case of a rail
road strike.
"The certain losses which would have
fallen on the growers in these districts
alone would have totalled many mil
lions. The disorganization of markets
which would have followed a strike
would have been felt disastrously in
every item of this year’s farm produc
tion.
“I wish.” said Mr. Odell, "that the
farmers of the country could realize
that it is Woodrow Wilson who saved
them from this incalculable loss, and
that Charles E. Hughes, who as gover
nor of New York vetoes practically all
appropriations that were vitally need
ed for rural interests, is condemning
President Wilson for preventing a na
tion-wide industrial panic and ruin of
the farmer’s market.’’
NUMBER 103.
KING CONSTANTINE.
WILL DECLARE WAR
JGIINSTJIILGMIK
Associated Press States Posi
tively That Constantine Has 1
Decided on an Immediate-
Declaration of War
(By Associated Press. )
ATHENS, Greece, Wednesday. Sept.)
27.—(Via London, September 28.) —Thej
Associated Press is in a position to state,
positively that King Constantine decided
this morning in favor of an immediate '
declaration of war on Bulgaria.
Reports that a general , mobilization
has been ordered are premature. After
the session of the council of ministers
at the palace thia morning Premier
Kalogeropolous hastily called a cabinet
meeting. The premier declared the gov
ernment was giving the fullest consid
eration to the situation and there might
be addressed to Bulgaria a note of such,
character that mobilization would log
ically follow.
Later it developed that the king had
decided on a declaration of war against
Bulgaria. .
The decision has not yet been an-,
I nounced publicly, as numerous detail**
remain to be worked out. They include
an ultimatum to Bulgaria
instant evacuation of all Greek
donia, as well as plans for mobilization
under the difficult conditions presented
by the occupation of Greek territory)
by the entente forces.
The king this morning discussed the
mobilization problem minutely with
General Mosothopoulos, chief of staff,
and General Yanakitsas, former minis
ter of war. He probably will preside
personally over a meeting of the crowrK
council at noon tomorrow.
Even the departure of former Pre
mier Venizelos from Athens created
nothing like the suppressed excitement
evident everywhere this afternoon. The
people feel that their 10-ng period of ex
pectancy is about to end, and the pros-'
pect of war with the Bulgarians appar
ently is welcome.
Greek Battleships Said
To Have Joined Allies
(By Associated Press.)
LONDON, Sept. 28.—The council of
Greek ministers has decided in agree
ment with King Constantine upon mili
tary co-operation with the entente pow
ers. says a Reuter dispatch from Athens
Wednesday.
The Greek battleship Hydra has join
ed the allied fleet, according to a Reu
ter dispatch from Athens. -- -
There is an unconfirmed report, the j
dispatch adds, that the Greek battle- |
ships Spetsai and Pasara and four-Greijk'
destroyers have also, joined the‘ conji
bined Anglo-French naval forces under
Vice Admiral du Fournet in the Medi
| terranean. ?
King Constantine ■ received an ex
i haustive report from General Moscho
[ poulos, chief of the general staff, de
i tailing the chaos in the military or
ganization of the country caused by the
departure of so many officers to join tha
Anglo-French allies and advising the<
immediate declaration of war by Greece*
! without waiting either the assistance or;
■ the insistence of the entente powers, aif
i the only way to save the situation.
Departure of Admiral
Was Hard ’Blow to King
(8v Ar.Bociated Press.)
ATHENS, Sept. 28.—(Via London.) —«
Despite the profound popular belief thab
the country is facing the greatest crisis
in its history, calm expectancy reigns in)
Athens. The Venizelist morning paper**
publish declaration which the former*
premier left prior to his departure, in
which he says the movement he head?)
is not revolutionary, but purely of na
tional character, and that he has no de-,
sign upon the integrity of the actuaJt
government of the country. M.
los declares that his course is the only)
way by which national unity may be*
preserved and that he will struggle for*
the salvation of Greece without the*
aid of the constituted government, if the«
government will not act. But if the»
king decides to defend Hellenic eoij
aainst the invaders he will be glad trt
turn over the forces he has gathered to*
co-operate in a common effort to sard
the country.
It is learned that communication beA
tween the king and M Venizelos hart
already been established through th a
former minister of war. General Yana-1
kitsas, and that the outlook is favor-* -
able for an arrangement of thd
rifflculties at present dividing Greecej
The greatest blow to King Constantin*
has been the departure of Admirali

is the most distinguished national hero..
