J Chihuahua Clty Mex.. April 21. (U.
P.) A bandit whoe life was spared by
- his captors has pointed out the lonely
crave in the mountains supposed to
1'contain the body of Francisco Villa, it
stated in advices received here to
- day,, but the corpse, when exhumed, was
' -declared not' to be that of the bandit
j. chief. Other reports to United States
Consul Letcher asserted Villa Is un-
, wounded and is in Durango state.
The general in charge of the cu artel
here announced today that he had re-
. ceived a; Carranza order, dated Satur
day, prohibiting aviators from flying
- over cities, and barring the American
expedition from using telegraphs and
telephones.
Halted States Aviator Fired Upon.
Carranza soldiers and citizens fired
a volley at an army flier Wdenesday.
At first he appeared to be attempting
-.to land here,, but later he flew toward
: San Antonio. 'It was believed he came
from Satevo. '
Resentment of both soldiers and
" populace against continued presence of
2 expeditions in Mexico has become so
general that the Carranzlstas declare
tbey will soon be unable to control the
people unless the American troops are
withdrawn.
Letcher reported that the fight at
Parral was not an isolated case. Ho
heard that other attacks upon one de
tachment of the expedition were be
lieved to have occurred.
So If ews of Villa.
'. "I never did consider the reported
- death of Villa as having any founda
tion," said General Gutierrez; "in fact.
I do not know whether Villa is alive or
dead. For days I have been unable to
secure anything definite with regard
to his whereabouts."
Gutierrez, Would not comment on a
- report that he was preparing a protest
- against an American aviator flying
around Chihuahua Wednesday.
' Letcher's reports said that Villa
was probably not in the Guerrero bat
' tie at -which he was said to have been
" wounded.
The newspapers have already an
. nounced an early retirement of the
4 American expedition. "Kl Democrats "
-.printed a, Washington dispatch saying
- that the United States had declared
war on Germany and that it needed
all its forces to fight the Germans.
Another article stated that Secretary
- Lansing was studying plans for an
, early withdrawal. This article gave
Carranza credit for halting the Ameri-
( can advance.
Concentrate at Parral.
Concentration of Carranzlstas at
i Parral and south of Parral is appar
; ently to oppose the Americans who
i' may attempt to march . southward.
, Mayor Herrera was instructed to in-
form the Americans that they must
not advance beyond Parral. General
Luis - Herrera, whose brother-ln-Law,
' Colonel Orosco, was killed in the Par
ral Incident, has gone to that city.
It is understood that 2000 Carranzlstas
; from the Morelos and Juarez brigades
have reinforced the Parral garrison.
One thousand cavalrymen under
Colonels Brown and Allen and Major
- Tompkins are reported concentrated
at Santa Cruz de Viesca, 10 miles
jiorth of Parral.
Shopkeepers Sell to Troops.
One of General Alvaro Obregon's
orders to General Gutierrez detained in j
Chihuahua 10 carloads of oats and hay
Intended for the Americans horses. I
However, Obregon is permitting shop
keepers in Parral to sell provisions to
troops at Santa Ortiz.
. Gutierrez appears to be doing his ut
, most to prevent strained relations, but
Mayor Herrera and his element in the
populace oppose Gutierrez. The latter
' has appointed officers to accompany
"American newspaper men. and has

So far Gutierrez has demonstrated
that he is master of the situation, but
an officer in his-confidence said that
the presence of -the expedition in Mex
ico for another month might result in
serious conflict, v
"The Mexican soldiers are already
murmuring against the expedition,"
said Lieutenant Efrain Lopez Castro.
"This soon will spread to the officers,
and. when tt does. It is clikely to re
sult in Carranzlstas openly opposing
the Americans." .

been too busy watching the American

Marseilles, April 21. (L N. S.)
Thousands of Russian troops, seasoned
veterans of the eastern front, have
been pouring into France for days and
weeks. The strength of the contin
gent, the last section of which disem
barked yesterday, is being kept secret
by the military authorities. ; It is.
known, however, to, be more than an
army corps.
The first bint of the presence of
Russian troops in France was given
by the government in an invitation to
leading Paris newspaper men and rep
resentatives of the allied and neutral
press to come to this city and wit
ness the. landing of the final section.

noted Russian commander. General

has thrilled France so- profoundly as
the news of the arrival of the Rus

Outside the official world no one
expected them and no one knew how
they got here or where they em
barked. The whole adventure has a
flavor of the incredible. Its reactions
on the emotlonsof the' French people
is reflected in the eloquent order of
the day Issued by General Jof fre.
The scene here today was in keeping
with the dramatic significance of the
occasion. Toe French fleet in the har
bor broke out in all its colors, sailors
manned the rails and fighting tops,
guns boomed and the bands played the
Russian national hymn.
On the transports Russian bands
played the "Marseilles," and the decks
were lined with soldiers at attention.
Cheers thundered from both sides as

Washington, April 21. Representa
tive C. N. McArthur stated today that
he has requested the district attorney
of Multnomah county to prosecute
those responsible for a circular Issued
over the name of the Anti-Saloon
league containing a cartoon and urging
"drys" to register as Republicans.
McArthur alleges political criminal
libel under section 8519, Lord's Ore
gon Laws.
In a statement McArthur declares R.
P. Hutton. lete.gue superintendent,
promised that EI V. Littlefield would
not become a candidate for congress if
McArthur would secretly agree to sup
port national prohibition.
McArthur terms the circular "dis
gusting" and an effort to suborn per
jury on- the part of the registered
voters.
Herbert S. McCutchan, campaign
manager for Representative McArthur,
said today Mr. McArthur had wired
him that he had written to District
Attorney Walter H. Evans setting
forth the alleged libelous content - of
the Anti-Saloon league circular and
notifying him to begin prosecution.
In addition, McCutchan said it was
probable a suit for civil damages would
be Instituted against the league of
ficers. District Attorney Evans has not had
time to receive McArthur' s formal
complaint. The corrupt practices act
requires prosecuting attorneys to be
gin proceedings, however, when, after
diligent Inquiry, they find the facta
stated to constitute an infraction of the
act.

R. P. Hutton, superintendent of the

"If the action of the Multnomah can
