Chris Morgenroth, district forest ranger for the Ellwah River district of the Olympic Peninsula, was forced to seek safety in a tree by a pair of big timber wolves while on a trip in the Ellwah. Valley about three weeks ago. He shouted at the wolves and threw pebbles at them, expecting to be able to frighten them off. but they paid no attention to his atl.empts, but began to draw in close to him. He finally escaped, but was lorced to fight his way for two miles along the trail until he reached the Grant Humes ranch. The wolves pressed close on him all of the time and three times he was compelled to back against a tree and fight the brutes off with a club and stones.

Troops Being; Placed So as to Cut Off American Expedition Re cruiting Going on Rapidly South of Border. EL PASO, Tex., June 28. Coincident with reports that Carranzista forces have been concentrated with a view to holding the railroads of Chihuahua in the event of hostilities with the United States, American military authorities here today were taking steps that would render them practically inde pendent of railroads for the transpor tation of troops and supplies. A train of 27 armed motor trucks. with fuel tank .cars and repair trucks, arrived today and was assigned to the local brigade, while at the office of the depot quartermaster it was announced that two additional truck trains are ex pected to arrive f.-om Eastern factories tomorrow. Steps have been taken also looking toward the commandeering of such trucks as are available in El Paso should occasion warrant. Truck Ready to Move Troops. Reports to military authorities on the border indicate that General Pershing is retaining at each of his chain of field bases a number of empty trucks for the rapid transportation if necessary ot troops apd supplies across country. Many of the trucks in use here and in the field are equipped with a re movable device by means of which they can be used as locomotives on rail roads and in the event of a break in the line, can be detoured over the high ways. Military authorities here tonight pointed out that in the event of hos tilities General Trevino's preparations to hold the railroads would avail him little, as the efficacy of the motor truck onstrated by General Pershing's forces again and again. For the second time within a week, Juarez, the Mexican town across the Rio Grande, was practically evacuated by Carranzista troops, only General Francisco Gonzales, commandant, and a small bodyguard remaining in the city. Mexican Troops Go South. It was asserted that about 1000 men, including the command of General Jose Flores. left Juarez in the last 24 hours for Villa Ahumada. from which place they are to be distributed to the vari ous Carranzista concentration camps Civilians, many of them In new American clothing, indicating that they had crossed the border at Carranza's recent call, mounted guard, at the com mandancia. the Custom-house and the international bridges. Also doing sen try duty were numbers of peons fresh from the ranches, their flapping som breros and sandaled feet being in striking contrast to the dapper cloth imr of their comrades in arms. Andres Garcia, Mexican Consul to El Paso, tonight issued a statement in which he explained his reason for re maining in Juarez during the crisis was to remove every possible chance of friction. He admitted, also, however, that he felt safer in the Mexican town. Conaul Seeks to Avert Trouble. 'General Bell," he said, "has offered to put a guard about my house in El Paso and I have full confidence in the American authorities.. But since I was routed out of bed and insulted in my own house not long ago by a squad of police at 1 o'clock in the morning, I have feared that my presence in El Paso may start trouble. Every effort of mine is bent on removing causes of friction at this point, with a view to easing negotiations between the first chief and the White House." Reports from the field indicate that small columns of Carranzlstas are ap pearing to the south of General Per shing's line, occupying communities evacuated by the Americans. However, in Mexican circles it is explained that some of these troops are recruiting de tachments. American reports indicate that at no point are they sufficiently close to General Pershing s lines to cause alarm. The Carranzistas also recognize the value of motor transportation, three American-made trucks having been sent south from Juarez several days ago and six light cars having been purchased for army use in El Paso today. Mexi can military authorities say they ex pected no trouble in taking them across the river. The Argentine republic has sold 180 machine guns to the Carranzista gov ernment, according to reports received today by the local agent of a Mexico City "bank.
