Che first national Bank Of $otlKri Oregoi INDICATES REIU OF El Paso, Jan. SO. Although of ficial announcement Is lacking, there Is every indication today that with drawal of General Pershing's puni tive expedition from Mexico virtually has begun. Reports today stated that the American camp at El VaHe, Per shing's southernmost outpost, was broken yesterday, the troops there starting northward to Join the main camp at Colonia Dublan. There were other straws in the wind which bore out these unofficial reports. During yesterday, more than 150 empty trucks went south into Mexico from the Columbus base, while the construction of corrals for horses wss started at Columbus. In official quarters here todsy it was admitted that preparations for withdrawal are under way, but of ficer stated they did not know that withdrawal already had begun. In Juares men discovered that many cam have been concentrated at Dublan, on the Mexican Northwestern railway line, while orders have been given to stop all shipments of forage to the expedition. iAs the news spread through the militia camps that preparations In dicated that withdrawal of Pershing's expedition was near, cheers went up from thousands of guardsmen. The men expect that orders sending them home will follow the arrival of the expedition at the iborder. Carransa officials at the Mexican consulate here are frankly jubilant over the reported withdrawal. "We hope it is (me and that i takea place soon," they said. Calling cards at the Courier. Ma i& ii TWAIN Never sailed the seven seat as an admiral; he never com manded an army, he never piloted a ship of stale ; he never attended college, and yet when he visited the old world, he was the invited guest of Kings. No other civilian ever enjoyed such marked distincton. It was simply the recog nition of genius by the rulers of the world. Mark Twain was purely American a product of the west. Go wheresoever you will, whatsoever you read you meet Mark Twain. Everybody knows him and refers intimately to his characters and his stories. More than 3.000,000 capies of his works have been sold.

Danger or complications with Germany over marine problem seemed to authori ties today to be nearer than for months past. Her capture of neu trals and making them prisoners on the steamer Yarrowdam, plus the strong trend of German sentiment toward wider submarining, made these possibilities more ominous. The official German statement re counting that the missing Yarrow dale, with more than 450 souls aboard "had ibeen brouxht Into har bor" as a prise with a number of neutral prisoners gave rise to ' a graver concern than anything that ha happened In month of tips and downs of a critical relationship. The government does not know that Americans are among the pris oners, but it Is possible some are thus held.' Germany explained the neutrals had been made prisoner in cases where they had taken pay from em ployment on armed enemy vessels. This Involves broad questions or armement, but even more so the In fringement itKn neutral rights by going so far as to make such sub jects prisoners of war. The whole problem Is tied up arso with the peace situation. Insofar as officials reveal, they re ran) Germany as likely to go even more vigorously Into the war than in the past, because of the entente re ply to the Wilson peace note. German sources say It Is unbeliev able that Germany's submarine war fare will ihe so extended as to involve America. In answer to this, Ameri can authorities say that a sharper," broader warfare very likely could not avoid infringing on American rights. ' fXMIlG BVKNT8 4 Jan. 22, Monday Prof. W. L.
