of the south before its progress is
checked, according to a report by a
special committee of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States, made
pcblic today. Attempts to destroy the

nual rate of advance is said to be vary
from fourteen to seventy miles, accord-
ing to conditions.

WASHINGTON, April 14.—American
cotton manufacturers used more raw I
cotton during March than in any one
month before in the history of the na-
tion, according to the Census Bureau’s
statement today, which showed that
the 600,000 bale mark had been passed
for the first time, so far as the na-
tion’s records show. Indications are that
the year’s consumption of cotton will
be a record one, as the cotton manu-
facturers . indicate extreme activity.

EL PASO, April IL—A hurried troop
movement was being made today south
of Columbus to strengthen the lines of
communication into Mexico in case of
emergency.
‘ Unconfirmed reports here of the bot-
tle at Parral are more serious than at |
first reported, and state that it lasted
three hours. One report said 100 Mexl- j
con civilians and Carranza soldiers had I
been killed or wounded and one Amer-
ican killed and several wounded. Par-I
ticipants in the fight have now advan-
ced into the state of Durango and are in
a country where there is little love for
“Gringoes.”
l»,000 TROOPS ON BORDER.
The more than 19,000 regulars are
guarding the Mexican bprder from
Brownsville to San Diego and preparing
for any eventuality. American seouts
are watching the Populilo Pass, leading
from Sonora to Casas Grandes district
for the appearance of General Arunlfo
Gomez, in command of a body of 2,500
Carranza infantry and cavalry. In the
event of trouble with the de facto gov-
ernment Gomez would be in a position
to strike at the American communica-
tion line at Casas Grandes
AWAIT OFFICIAL ADVICES.
Official advice® giving the details of
the fight at Parral are anxiously await-
ed here. From different sections in Chi-
huahua come vague reports of disor-
ders arising from economic conditions,

AUTO TRUCIRGHT
LASTED 20 MINUTES
WASHINGTON, April 14.—It was indi-
cated today that the next step in the
submarine crisis would be taken, with-
in forty-eight hours. It will probably
be the sending to Germany of the cum-
ulative evidence of that which the Uni-
ted States contends were in violation
of Germany’s assurances. Developments
are expected to follow rapidly.
President Wilson and the cabinet are
understood to have agreed that the pre-
sentation of fads should he accompan-
ied by a definite and final demand for
evidence of Germany’s good faith, but
it probably will not be accompanied by
a time limit, which would be properly
described as an ultimatum.

withdraw when the interests of human-
ity have been conserved. He was inter-
rupted by cheers and shouts of “yes.”

WASHINGTON, April IL—The
Mexican sitiuHion was unchanged
today according to a statement of
Secretary Baker as he was leaving
today’s cabinet meeting, and the .
status of the American troops in
Mexico is the same.
Tbe entire handling of the soldiers
has been left with General Funston,
who has a free hand to do what-
ever he wants with the 30,000 men
in his command. There has been no
change in the War Department or-
ders to General Funston, but the
Mexican developments will be
watched closely.
In Congress today Representative
McLemore of Texas introduced a
resolution that American soldiers
should not be withdrawn until
“Villa is killed, captured or driven
into exile.”
Chairman Stone of the Senate For-
eign Relations committee conferred
with Secretary Lansing today and
said the State Department had noth-
ing to make public. In his state-
ment, Senator Stone said he had ne-
ver believed that Villa would be
captured, but he favored the expe-
dition when it started whether it
caught him or not.
