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.

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. Is it any wonder that
so many know him? As the years go by our wonder grows
greater as the years go by his fame grows greater for the
wisdom the understanding the love the humor the
sincerity of these pages. Always healthy in their influence
always facing truth when truth has to be told and making
fun that has made millions laugh. The laughter he arouses
is wholesome and self respecting; it clears the atmosphere.
Mark Twain's works are not bought to read once you
will read them many times and find him each time as fresh
and unexpected as at the first He puts his finger on the
pulse strings of your heart and plays on them lo your de
light' and your surprise. That is the mystery of Mark
Twain his power beyond understanding.

OMINOUS NOTE III
N
Washington. Jan. 10. 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.
