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.
Oregon consumes annually over
2,200,000 cords of fuel wood, which,
reduced to board feet, amounts to
over 1,105,000,000 feet
Oregon produces annually approx
imately 1,610,000,000 board feet of
logs, but consumes over two billion,
or 27 H per in excess of her log pro
duction. She draws heavily on Wash
ington for this excess. ,
- Oregon produces approximately
three and one-third million linear
feet, but consumes only about one
half a million feet.
- The railroads of Oregon consume
over 18,000 hewn ties and the mines
22,000. Oregon also consumes 66,-
000 linear feet of round mine ma
terial. Oregon produces over 2,000,000
feet of lumber, approximately 160,
000,000 lath) and 275,000,000
shingles. Of this quantity, she
consumes' nearly 23,000,000 lath and
over 116,000,000 shingles. Of the
amount of lumber produced, Oregon

lath and of the shingles is used in
Multnomah and Clackamas counties
San Antonio, Mar. 21. 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. Fifty-four , additional motor
trucks are en route to Columbus, at
tended by factory experts, who will
operate them In the field. It Is ex
pected that they will relieve the
transportation troubles between Col
umbus and the Held forces.

SUV ARTILLERY
Berlin, Mar. 21. Usclecsvo bridge
head and trenches northwest of it
hare been evacuated by the Aus
trian, the Vienna war oflice officially
admitted today. The positions were
defended for six months against
heavy Russian attacks.
Russian artillery reduced to ruins
the bridgehead defenses and adjoin
ing positions. The bridgehead is on
the south bank of the Dnolster, S8
miles northwest of Czernowltx.
"Russian Are blasted a breach 800
yards wide," said the Vienna account.
"At five p. m. Colonel Planch decided
to evacuate. First he destroyed the
trench. t Small detachments, with
wounded gained the. south bank of
the Dniester in boats, but soon the
enemy's concentrated fire made the
crossing impossible. Austrian sap
pers and dragoons fought on the
north bank through Usclecsvo, which
the Russians occupied in strong
forces. These Joined other Austrian
troops established on the heights
north of Zaleyicsykl since Monday."
VILLA BOMBARDS
Douglas, Ariz., Mar. 21. 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

hoping to gnln the sympathy of the

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

SEE GOV. CALLAS
' Douglas, Aria., Mar. SI. 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

At 9:15 a. m. today General Gavlra
said he bad not been advised of the
result of fighting at N'amlqulpa. An
atmosphere of suspense was notice
able in El Paso military and civil
circles.
A belief ,waa growing tbot the re
ported engagement would not prove
I decisive.
Asked if Villa had been killed or
captured, Gavlra replied "no" to both
questions. .
General Garcia . visited Gavlra's
headquarters at Juarei to learn how
the battle came out.' He was told
that communication with Maninlpa
