THREAT OF MABTIAL LAW MADE
BAN ANTONIO, Tex., March IB.
The placing of a strict embargo on
news out of Columbus, N. M., where
the main body of Brigadier General
John ,J. Pershing's epedltlonary
force Awalta word to cross into Mex
ico in search of Franclsca Villa, was
the important development today at
Fort Sam Houston, where Major
General Frederick Funston was ar
ranging the final details of the, ex
pedition. In military circles an at
titude of expectancy succeeded the
tightening of the censorship.
Giving as his reason for the action

making public all the essential facts

to General Pershing to seize the tel

R Troops froM.
After stating late this afternoon that
no troops had yet crossed tha border,
General Funston ilao Instituted a close
censorship on all proceeding within Fort
Bam Houston.
It was Indicated that the next an
nouncement from southern department
headquarters would come only with the
actual start of the expeditionary force
Into Mexico. Once General Pershing has
led his column across the Rio Grande, it
was Indicated the censorship will be
loosened and the publlo will be adequately
Informed on the expedition's progress.
An additional factor in the settling
down of silence on the progress of events
on the border waa the action of the Mex
ican consul general here, T. R. Beltram.
this afternoon. He wired every Mexican
in his district, which embraces the bor
der states of Texss and New Mexico, not
to do or say anything that might compli
cate the present delicate situation. Sup
pression of public discussion and unfa
vorable comment was primarily urged,
but the order was expected also to help
guard the movement of American troops.
At Fort Sam Houston it was pointed
out that If the seisure of the telegraph
office and guarding of telephone wires
and automobile routes did not put a stop
to the leakage of Important border news
at Columbus, It might be necessary to
establish martial law.
The news situation also will be washed
closely at El Faso.
The transfer of General Fcrshipg from
Kl Taso to Columbus lias necessitated
another important assignment. Brigadier
General George Bell, Jr., commander of
the Fifth brigade, with headquarters at
San Antonio, was ordered by General
Funston today to proceed to El Paso and
assume command of troops t:.ere. Uen
eral Funston said that the growing Im-
portanc of the El Paso contingents
necessitated the asslgnn ent of an officer
of General Bell's rank to take charge of
them.
General Bell will act" under the orders
of General Funston in looking after the
border situation when the expeditionary
forces pass into Mexico.
The Twenty-third infantry, enroute
from Galveston, passed through San An
tonio today on Its way to the base of
operations.
Many Americans are arriving In San
Antonio on their way nortu, after for

unsettled when the American troops pass

to the disposal of routine business, prac

AMONG purchasers of highest grade motor cars today there is a
marked preference for custom-built bodies. The stock product has
become commonplace an inevitable result of quantity production and
lower price levels. . c t -tfxfcvttfiuc' "' .
The White Company anticipated this tendency a year ago, by having its
bodies designed by a noted custom body maker and by standardizing in its
regular models all the refined characteristics of the made-to-order product.
A staff of experienced custom makers embody -in White Cars the same
grace of line, individual appointments, imported materials, and that nicety
of construction which only expensive hand labor can produce. The refine
ment and distinguished appearance of the standard White body, made
in the factory at Cleveland, is equalled only in a body individually ordered
vftom the best-autDm builders. t

EGULAR Merchandising
Isby No Means a "Wallingford" Stunt
I J)
(fif Whila it is true that sdvertlslng doss
VI I j. sometimes make) men fabulously
wealthy la s short time, such results
1 1 are confined largely to the marketing
of patented specialties that happen to mset a
widespread public fancy or need. In the casa
of such commodities the cream must be aklin
roed quickly. The harvest from the seeds of
publicity, widely and carefully sown, must
be attended to promptly for there may not be
another crop.
Ths regular merchandising of staples, how
ever, doea not lend Itself to any "Walling
ford" stunts. Merchandising Is a steady pull
every day from year to year, with no spas
modic spurts or fluctuations. A wise and in
telligent use of newspaper space has the effect
of pushing the sales level to a higher tide.
By Increasing tha volume of sales and hasten
ing the "turn-over" it yields a larger net in
come and permits a closer margin of profit
on each article sold.
The man who increases his annual volume
of sales through newspaper advertising is the
man who can buy In largest quantities at best
advantage, and hence it is in his power to
undersell competitors and at the came tlm
show a good clean profit at the end of the
year.
To prove the truth of these statements on
has but to look around right here in Omaha.
The 'concerns that are forging to the front
with ever increasing business and dividends
are those that are continuous, persistent, con
sistent advertisers. You will find thera rep
