WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. Troop move
ments preliminary to the withdrawal
of the American expedition from Mex
ico are being carried out at the south
ern extremity of the American line
under War Department orders, and as
soon as they are complete the main
body of the expedition probably will
start north.
For the first time officials admitted
that the withdrawal of outposts from
Kl Valle and other points about Colonia
Dublan bad more than a local signifi
cance, and was being carried out on
orders from Washington. They made
no announcement as to the probable
time when the peneral northward
movement would begin, and would not
even admit that withdrawal of Persh
ing's troops after 10 months in Mexico
was at hand. Since the effort to ef
fect an agreement with General Car
ranza ended in failure, the Adminis
tration has indicated that its next step
would be made known through action
rather than by announcement.

The fate of the two priests arrested

State Department already has made
earnest representations in their behalf.
Both at the State Department and at
the White House scores of telegrams

SEVERE RHEUMATIC
PAINS DISAPPEAR
Ph'umatlsra depends on an acid
which flows in the blood, affecting the
muscles and Joints, producing inflam
mation, stiffness and pain. This acid
pets into the blood througn some de
lect in the digestive processes, and re
mains there because the liver, kidneys
and skin are too torpid to carry it off.
Hood's Sarsaparilla, the old-time
blood tonic, is very successful in the
treatment of rheumatism. It acts
directly, with purifying effect, on the
blood, and through the blood on the
liver, kidneys and skin, which it
stimulates, and at the same time it Im
proves the digestion.
Get Hood's Sarsaparilla today. Sold

soon between Carranza troops and rev
olutionists. Today's official dispatches said Villa
and Zapata, the most conspicuous revo
lutionary leaders, had allied themselves
for operations against the de facto
armies and that 8000 men had been con
centrated near Chihuahua for a Villa
campaign in the north. Since Carranza
declined to accept the Atlantic City
protocol, officials here have indicated
that such problems as the one devel
oped about Chihuahua would be left
to Carranza for settlement, but that he
would be held responsible by the United
States Government for their settlement
in such a way as to protect American
interests.
Arms Embargo In Abeyance.
Meantime raising of the embargo on
arms to Mexico and the dispatch or
Ambassador Fletcher to Mexico City
remain in abeyance. There were indi
cations today that the prospect of
sending the Ambassador to his post had
been made more indefinite by two de
velopments construed in some quarters
as a renewal of practices of the Car
ranza government against which the
United States has protested repeatedly.
Officials are surprised and perplexed
over the drastic measures taken by the
first chief against two banks whose
metallic reserve recently was seized
and by what some contend is a revival
of persecution of the Roman Catholic
clergy,
Information reaching the British Em
bassy today from an official of the
Bank of London & Mexico and the Na
tional Bank of Mexico was that the
bullion and specie taken from the
banks was a loan only in the sense that
it was forced. From the Bank of Lon
don & Mexico the amount taken was
valued at 4.000.000 pesos. The National
Bank's quota was 5.000,000 pesos. Re'
maining in the vaults of the first are
16.000.000 pesos, and the institution's
officers fear this may also be removed.
Agents of the de facto government are
in possession of the building and the
keys to the vault.
British and French Protest.
The problem presented by the seiz
ures has been called to the attention
of the State Department again by rep
resentatives of the stockholders, who
are tor the most part British and

Gibbons was among those who sent
such appeals.

PETROGRAD, Jan. 81, via London,
Jan. 23. A profound impression has
been made here by the rescript ad
dressed by EVnperor Nicholas to the
new Russian Premier. Prince Golotzine,
calling upon him, among other things,
to see that the Government devotes its
first attention to the question of sup

The rescript is regarded as a clear
presentation of the problems which
have oppressed me nation for the last
six months, as well as an exhortation
to more prompt and energetic action
in meeting them.
The clause promising a more benevo

Bethlehem's Bid on Shells
for the United States Navy
To the American People'.
The Secretary of the Navy has awarded contracts amounting to over $3,000,000 to a British
bidder for 14 and 16-inch projectiles for the Navy, for the reason that the" British firm
offered prices very much below those of American manufacturers, mcluding ourselves.
We know nothing of the basis upon which the British bids were made, but the publicjs
entitled to know the facts upon which we ourselves bid for this work.
Two years ago we took contracts to make 4,200 14-inch shells at a price of $I,51S,
000 (with heavy penalties for delayed delivery). Despite the fact that all our
experience and facilities have been strained to fulfill these contracts, up to now not a
fincle shell ha been accepted tr the Government, although, on the work.,

Navy Department tests are now so severe that neither we nor, wo far as know, any
other manufacturers have yet been able to produce in quantity 14-inch shells which will
meet them.
In -the light of our experience, and having no other basts we bid for 16-inch shells
approximately the same rate per pound as that upon which the Navy Department
actually awarded a 14-inch shell contract one year ago.
