B1 Paso, Texas, April 13—General Pershing’s expedition ary force of fourteen thousand men is today surrounded by ap proximately thirty thousand Carranistas, who are waiting for the diplomatic show-down that must follow the Carranza note. Twelve thousand of the Carranzistas are within striking, dh'aiice of the United States advance forces and ten thousand have taken up positions between the United States troops and the border, with several other Mexican commands scattered along General Pershing’s line of communication. These movements were made obviously to back up the demands of Carranza that the United States troops be with drawn from Mexico. El Paso, Texas, April 13—The Carranzista officers at Jaurcz regard the situation caused by Carranza’s demand as s distinct diplomatic triumph for their First Chief. They predict that, under the circumstances, the United States forces will have to be withdrawn. Washington, April 13—Officials here refused to discuss the Carranza. note previous to .its consideration by President Wilson, but declared that there is no present intention of this Government to change its original policy towards Mexico. San Antonio, Texas, April 13—General Funston refused to discuss the Carranza note this morning. It is known, however, that he has asked for more troop* in view of the disposition of the Carranzista forces. , San Antonio, Texas, April 13—The United States troops were fired upon Sunday at dawn as they entered Parral. The Carranza General Guitteroz transmitted the first in formation of the fight, stating that the Viilistas and citizens were surprised by the appearance of the Americans. The officers suspect that the Carranzista troops also par ticipated in shooting at the Americans. LARGEST SHIPMENT OF HATS Evar Received la Tlflon Came Yea- terday to W. H.

Investigation showed that the boxes contained atrawhate, and Mr. Parker stated that he had seen where the men were taking a lot of interest in the Straw Hat Day ao he wired the makers of thc Brigham Hopkins hats to ship him the lot. They are beauties and the shelves, show-cases and tables in tho store are filled with them. There is also a splendid display of tho hats and what they are made from in Mr. Par ker’s window. Don’t you take our word for it go and take a look at the window, and no matter how wise a guy yon may be, you will bo a wiser one when you have done so. So many of them and such a vari ety of prices!

Washington, April 18—Germany will get another oppor tunity to reissue her pledges that her submarine commanders will obey international law. President Wilson has so decided, and another communication setting forth the position of this government is being drafted. The United States will not accept the claim of Germany that the Sussex was'not torpedoed. The note will resemble an ultimatum, in that it will make it clear that the United States will no longer tolerate Germa ny’s violation of her pledges. Washington, April 13—Attorney General Gregory has re fused to furnish Congress with the information obtained in the Standard Oil investigations, on the ground that it would be in compatible with the public interest It is stated that another suit against thc Standard Oil Company is contemplated, because it has never been dissolved, as ordered by the Supreme Court. ter tonight with Recitation, Tifton | K ° and being represented in this event by j a fi° ut - Miss Leila Gatehe’.l.
