The os + My, ar drawal of the punitive expedition. | Rest In his latest communication to Wash-] a ington, General Carranza claimed that; w- Lis forces had the power to subdue any rebel army that might renew hos- tilities. He promised this strength to quell new uprisings. The diplomacy of Carranza had sur- ceeded well. According to the best in-! formation, General Pershing's expedi< tionary force was about to return-ini fact. bas alreadvo started the retro-! grade movement to Columbus. In addi j tion to this, negotiations were opened and well on their way to an agree- ment for the joint patrol of the bor- der. another Carranza idea. Then came the news that Villa was at it again. The battle opened at Par-! ral. Carranza official reports placedj the strength of Villa at 600 men, all; mounted. This force began to march, to Jiminez from San Juan Bautispo,{ where they have had headquarters. | To meet this force General Ignacio, Ramos advanced with superior num- bers. Thev mot near Parral. By a} swift attack the Villistas threw thmrl full strength on Ramos' flank, turned! it and sent it flying. General Ramos} was killed and he endeavored to whip' his men about to make a stard! against the Villa forces. His death is! admitted in Mexican official dispatch es. 'The fighting started on July 4. Until late yesterday Juarez received reports by wire. Then they abruptly stopped and it was impossible to renpen com- munication. Villa's name had almost been forgol- ten in the crush of diplomatic exchang- es, the development of new border crisis and the mobilization of the Na tional Guard. It took more than a mo-, ment's thought to recall that he was the object of the Pershing expedition. Manuel Medinaveita. former Villista general lately serving the Carranza cause, brought the latest reports of Villa to Juarez. Medinaveita was sent' from Juarez a week ago to the Parral! neighborhood in an effort to win m‘Pr: Villa's followers. The some extent be reported he was successful but be-, tween 600 and 700 of the bandit's fol- lowers, stuck with their leaders. , Incidentally, Medinaveita was re-; sponsible for the most complicated re port yet received of the rumored| wounding of Villa,. Villa, said Mndi-l naveita, was wounded in the thigh, lungs and head, A German surgeon is attending him and in the past fortnight Villa had been able to assume some of his old activity. Among other things. he sent p, communication to Cauto} Reyes, ther deserter from . his standardy&sking him to return. Reyes, civilian population. turned Fhis communication - over to Geneqal‘ Jacinto Trevino, who since has displayed it somewhat proudly. Coming when it does the battle be- tween Jiminez and Parral may have a large part in delaying the adjustment of international affairs. If Villa con- quers and drives the Carranzistas back upon their stronghold it would stop at cree all negotiations based on the assumption that the de facto govern- ment is able to control the bandits in Northern Mexico. The State guards now on the bor- der have been more comfortable since the shower which sprinkled the des- ert land yesterday. The weather today was a couple of degrees cooler.

(By Frederick Palmer, Special respondent, I. N. S.) PRESS HEADQUARTERS, With the British Army in France, July 6.-Brit ish battalions, that have been fighting since the great battle of the Somme opened. have now been relieved from the firing line and are resting in bil- lets in quiet villages far behind the scene of the action and free from the sound of shell blasts and the cracking of bullets. In answer to the question as to what they most wanted when reliev- ed the universal chorus from the bat- tle-harrled troops was: \Sleep a wash and a shave.\ Every battalion is proud of its re- cord of keeping its formation intact Cor- es were reached and there is also uni versal pride that \Kitchener's new army\ made good. One battalion that was swept | by machine gun fire lost half of its men before reaching the first line trench- es of the Germans. but fought its way on another 1,000 yards to an objec- tive set for it where {t entrenched and maintained its position. Officers of this battalion served out rations consisting of biscuits and a half a battle of soda water to each man, which had been taken from sup- plies found in the German dug outs The British, who had lived on their 'travel rations' for the first days of fighting in some instances saved them- man rations which had escaped de- struction by shell fire. These included canned beef which was found to be very good. Talks with prisoners generally re- veal that the German soldiers have plentv of food while letters from their homes in every part of the German em- pire indicate privations among - the i _ Another, in speaking of the situation, said that fresh eggs were prized among the Gérman €roops as the height of luxury. A basket had just arrived and the hungry men - were feasting their eyes upon them when a shell from a Brifish Howitzer made a direct hit and the landscape was splat tered with eggs far and near.. One officer found a bok of his favor- ite brand of cigars in a dug out occu- pied by a German officer. . Many prisoners ask the same ques- tion that the British soldiers are uni- versally asking, namely, has the army enough shells to keep up such a bom- bardment as that of last week?

Qr NEW YORK, July 68. -Despite the steps taken by the department of health to curb the epidemic of infan- tile paralysis, now raging in New York city, the number of cases show a steady increase. During the twenty- four hours from 9 a. m. Wednesday to 9 a. m. today, 183 new cases were re- ported by the staff of physicians working to improve the situafion, These cases were in four boroughs of the city, as follows: Brooklyn, 98; Manhattan, 5; Rich mond, 33; Queens, 2. ~ This was an increase of eight over the preceding twenty-four hours; when 125 cases wore recorded, and an increase of seventy-three over the total for the twenty-four hours that began at 9 a. m. Monday. The steady increase was deep dis- appointment to physicians, who had hoped that the cool weather which prevailed for the last two days would heip them in their fight with the dis- ease, They found themselves con- fronting a gigantic task today when the temperature began to mount and all indications pointed to a heat wave that would last for several days. Though $50,000 is available for the war upon the epidemic,. it is probable that a much larger sum will have to be appropriated. Fifty more hospital doctors and 120 additional nurses are being engaged today. Thus far the number of cases totals 756, and the deaths more than 150; show that the disease is more virulent than during the epidemic of 1907. Thorough cleanliness is stated by the health department to be the chief requisite in combatting the disease. In effecting this they are having hard work in the foreign sections of the city. WASHINGTON, July 6.-Physicians of the United States Public Health Service are greatly alarmed‘at the epidemic of infantile paralysis | now raging in New York City. They fear the spread of the disease over the country. Today they issued a warning, asking the public through the Inter pational News Service to take the ut most precaution to avoid contagion. The service explains that the disease is by no means peculiar to Infants but attacks adults with serious and very often fatal consequences. Hot, dry weather is extremély favorable to the spread of the disease, it -is declared and the infantile paralysis germ is facile in finding vehicles to convey it from infected persons to. well onés. One of the principal manifestations .of the disease is the presence of nose of the late William DeMuth 1 60 and Mouth éecrétions and this sub- fiance'fzgfim highly. {urtile sarins. S.

Handkerchiefs used by patients, or those attending them. should either be burned or disinfect ed with carbolic acid or some other strong negative element. Sanitary con- ditions of the premises of which pati- ents are inmates should be as perfect as possible. Inadequaey in this de partment will facflitate communica- tion of the disease. The health service explains that mild attacks are very dangerous to the community because, although but par tially effective in the person attacked. the disease may pass readily causing the most aggravated cases. Further more, it is stated entirely well per- sons may convey infantile paralysis germs without themselves becoming affected. For this reason the service warns communities where infantile paralysis is existant to discontinue all public gatherings and, if epidemic threatens, to close schools, churches; and Sunday schools, as well as the atres and other popular resorts. Flies carry infantile paralysis germs, so windows and doors must be screen ed all food carefully protected. The service states that the theory that in- fantile paralysis was caused by the bite of the stable fly has been explod- ed, but that filles and other insects carry the germs through contact. The service particularly warns the public to report suspected cases of in- fantile paralysis to the health author: ities immediately and to summon competent medical aid. The - disease then can be checked, preventing de- formity, it is stated. Even in cases where deformity results, surgery sometimes can overcome the most serfous defects, the service explains. All cass should be isolated at the first symptoms, the health service asserts. It is admitted that comparatively ittle is known about infantile paraly- gis. Government exports are now at work on an exhaustive study of the disease and further preventive meas ures aro expected to be devised. HOME FROM OUTING. Mr. and Mrs. Jobn F.

The bell was shipped to the company yesterday. In disposing of the bell at this time the church offi- clals secured a much larger price for it than they would at any other time on account of the demand for metal. The bell weighs 2,000 pounds.

News Service Staff Correspondent.y WASHINGTON, July 6.--Pancho Villa today again broke into the Mexican-American situation as a leading factor. It was officially announced at the State department that the bandit chieftain whose raid on Columbus, N. M., on March 1 9. brought Mexico and the United States to the verge of war, is reported at the head of a large force of troops heading north towards the American border. Despatches from American rep- resentatives along the border to the department today said that Villa is rumored to be near Parral The advices did not give ‘ any estimate of the number of men Villa has with him. Another important development in the Mexican situation today was the positive statement authorized at the State de- < partment that Gen. Pershing's expedition will not be ordered out of Mexico at this time as a result of Carranza's note. It was made emphatically plain that the American troops will not be i withdrawn until further assurances are received that the border 1 will be protected against raids similar to the one at Columbus. Secretary Lansing announced, fol- lowing a half hour's conference with the president, that an imemdiate re- ' ply would be sent to Carranza's latest does not think it is required in the present Mexican situation. Secretary Lansing expects to leave tomorrow on his vacation. He did not state whether the note would be man to Border. | ante. ALBANY, N. Y..
