Tonight and Wednesday rain f west; unsettled, probably rain, east portion; southerly winds, v- reaching gale force near the coast ; TAKING VILLA NO SNAP, ' Those who anticipate that Villa could be squelched within a few days after Uncle Sam took his trail are apt to meet with ' disappointment Mexico Is a big country, and Uncle Sam is far from being In a condition of preparedness. This latter fact was proved when It took him days to have troops on the hunt across the line, even though they had been kept at the border in greater or lesser numbers for years. There , Is no doubting the ultimate outcome of the campaign for the bandit chief's scalp, but the wily halt breed is in a coun try with which he is acquainted since childhood. He Is not going to be 0 easily captured, for Mexico Is a large country and 5,000 American troops, notwithstanding their char acter and quality, will not be able to comb it very rapidly. Had the border troops been prepared to hare taken the trail of the raiders within a few hours, it might have been a shorter campaign. OREGON TIMBER STATISTICS.

General Pershing Is so close to Francisco Villa that he has discarded his wire less and dispensed with reports to army headquarters here, In, the be lief of officers here today. No word from the man-hunters was received. The pursuit is believed to be hot through the mountains south of El Valle.

Fran cisco Villa is battling the de facto government of Mexico and the United States with propaganda. Half a dozen Vllllstas have been executed by firing squads since the Columbus affair. According to state ments made by arrested Vllllstas, al ready much propaganda matter has permeated the districts' where Villa and Zapata are popular. Miguel Vicente, a colonel in the Villa army, was arrested near El Paso by United States authorities while spreading Villa literature. Army officials here, speaking un officially, expressed the belief that Villa will hide out until the senti ment or the peons has been suffi ciently arbused to cause a general up rising against both Carranza and the Invading Americans. Others declared that the fugitive has' retreated with his band of fol lowers Into the wild mountain passes Wright's Silver Cream Cleans and Polishes., Silverware, Gold, Cut Gins Quickly and Kaslly In Half Pint Glass Jars, i!3c CLEMENS ysDrugi The Itexall Store REDUCES BRIDGE WITH PROPAGANDA DAILY ROGVB 1UVEK COVftlEIt 5 of the Sierra Madres, where he will make a stand against the Americans, hoping to gnln the sympathy of the peons In that way. , Carmoa Intelligence ageuts have uncovered quantities of Villa litera ture. It was reported that a secret Villa organisation, similar to the Klu Klux Klan In the south follow ing the civil war, has been formed. American, mining, Interests are anxiously awaiting today the ruling of Senor Enrique Moreno, de facto secretary of state for Sonora, on the ruling of Governor Calles that all American-owned mines secured under grants from Villa and the late Vic- torlano Muerta administration shall revert back to the state. Moreno is expected to Issue a state ment ia a day or two from Hermo slllo. Federal grants from Porflrlo Dlas are not affected by the action. Confirmation was received hero to day that Villa was retreating toward the Guerrero mountains, southwest of Numlqulpa. General Gulterrez, Carranza commander at Chihuahua, confirmed the report, but did not give details of the fighting or tho chase. HINDU FLIRTING IS RARE. Thera, Is Little Chine For That Kind of Pastime In India. There's leas flirting per square mile to India than In any other oouutry In the world The Rluiice out of the cor ner of the rye and the lowered lasb Is unknown. A Hindu woman has to dress so that It caii tx told whether or not she Is married; It's a pretty safe bet however, that she Is. When a Hindu girl begins to edge up around fifteen without having made the leap her par ents begin to spend Unties, feverish nights. By the rings In bcr ears and by the way she wears her hair it may be told in a Hindu woman Is married and sometimes bow many children she has. The best evidence that she Is married ti the tblld sitting astride her hip When you go to lift a Hindu child Its tittle legs automatically fly open as it you bad pressed a buttoa . Flirting is an. almost unkuowh pas time in India. Even the men have to let the world know if they take their wages home each week unopened. A Hindu man can't go around making to nocent women - believe that he hasn't a single photo 00 his dresser,, for be has to wear a ring on his toe showing If be has ever walked down the aisle In conventional black at high noon. All a woman in India bas to do to see If sbe is wasting her time Is to glance down at the man's toee.-llomer Croy to Leslie's Weekly. 1 " 1 1 11 , . A Military wpHesl . j This story 6f the Russluu Grand Duke Nicholas Is told by Julius West in "Soldier, of the Ciar." Some years ago, during an Inspection, the grand1 duke was standing next to the em peror, a few yards a way from a group1 of generals. He ordered General Itus sky, then in command of the forces In that region, to step forward The grand duke next ordered a private sol dier to come, forward and hack off the general's epaulets. "We can tm aglne." says Mr. West, "the dismay of the other general as the soldier obeyed " 'Now, cut mine off.' was the next order The soldier did 10. 'Now, pui them on his shoulders.'

This is a story partly about war correspond ents, of which there la a bumper crop here, and their tribulations. An Interview was arranged with General P. Ellas Calles, constitution alist gdvernor of Sonora, and the cor respondents went over the border en masse, regular European war style. All Mexicans wear ammunition and some clothing. A number of soldiers j thus attired scrutinised the Amort jeans at the line, eyed their passes j from the Carrausa consul In Douglas, (theu marshaled them outside the va .'cant store building occupied as head quarters, whllo.tho tteneral conferred with his aides. Din-tug a half hour of waiting the "grlnsoea" were Inspected by 16 prl- 'vatoa and 36 officers of the de facto government army. They presented a sharp contrast to the snappy Ameri can regulars. Tho impression one gets of the Americans Is that' they are the finest fighting men In the world. Privates look efficient, officers alert. And the. force has plenty of the very best military equipment. Mingled with the Mexican soldiers were many dogs and children. Swarthy women, chewing toothplcka, squatted nearby, regarding the white men stolidly. Finally a lieutenant came out and viewed tho newspaper men at some length, after which he sal thnt "El Ocnernl" would see them. They filed In. The Interpreter, a diminutive Mexican from the consul's office, be came so frightened In the governor's presence that ho forgot everything and became mute. Everything went smoothly, how ever, until one correspondent asked Calles if, In his opinion, peace In Mexico would be restored after tho extermination of Villa and his band. Tho Interpreter hated to ask that, but ho did -tremblingly. Each staff member -muttered uneasily, Callos frowned ferociously, and evidently boiled with subdued rago. The situ ation was acute. The Africans . began thinking abnnfl wrMdri- a graceful exit, but colonels, captains and majors throng ed the narrow doorway. Calles eventually grumbled an an swer, but the Interpreter, In his ter ror, straightaway forgot It-. The sub- Joet was abondoned. Later It developed that Calles be came furious when anyone1 suggested there had been any strife in Mexico recently. He' says Mexico has been peaceful ever since Carranza was recognized. Akd If he would co operate with American troops if they should enter Sonora, Calles hesitated, and then carefully formulated an an swer that he would follow orders from his chief. "Obregon?" he was asked. "Well, my chief is Carranza, of course. His orders are already that Sonora soldiers co-operate in the pur suit of Villa. I will follow orders un til I am commanded otherwise," Calles was apparently very ner vous on this, point and sent one of his men over afterward to Inspect correspondents' dispatches and see If they wore satisfactory. ' .,' Observers here believe It is a fore gone conclusion that Villa will es cape to the mountains, 350 miles straight south of Columbus, and that It will take six' months to capture or kill him. The Americans here are well en camped and apparently making no preparations to move.- They are evi dently trained to the minute and would welcome a chance to Join their Stove Polish Villi c 1VU Should the 1 Tffl illffurent from I nthara hocAUui mnra rnr U fair nil In tha muklnof and the materials used are ov higher grade.

Gorman attacks have galued more ground on the west bank of the Meuse, it was officially admitted today. Assaults were 're newed during the night along the Abancourt-Malancourt lino.
