WARNS THE U. S. PATROLS
Chihuahua City, Mexico, July 17.
Several scattered groups of Villistas
have eluded the cordon of govern
ment troops which surrounded them
in the Rio Florido bottoms and have
reassembled at Tinajai and Las
Escobas on the road to Ojinaga and
are making their way north with the
object of making another raid on the
American border, according to con
fidential advices to General Jacinto
Trevino today.
The advices, which came from
Santa Rosalia, said the outlaws skirted
Chihuahua City by traveling in small
groups to the little settlements north
east of here.
General Trevino immediately or
dered the commanders of the garri
sons at Ojinaga and Piedras Negras
to throw troops out in an attempt to
intercept the bandits, whose numbers
were estimated at about 200. He
pointed out, however, that the nature
of the terrain is such that some of
the outlaws might evade the govern
ment troops and suggested that it
would be well for military authorities
on the American side of the frontier
to be especially vigilant.
Under Water Liner
Expected to Start
On Return Trip Soon
Baltimore, Md., July 17. An
nouncement was made today that
after tomorrow no more visitors will
be allowed . on board the German
merchant submarine Deutschland.
This was taken as an indication that
the underwater liner will leave Balti
more before the middle of the week.

cargo of rubber and nickel today,
Washington, July17. There will
be no patrol of American warships
off the Virginia coast to see that
allied cruisers awaiting the reappear
ance of the German merchant sub
marine Deutschland stay outside of
the three-mile limit. Secretary Dan
iels said today that the United States
assumed that its territorial waters
would not be violated by the allied
men-of-war.
So far as can be learned, the Wash
ington government has not been noti
fied of the Deutschland's probable
sailing; but it is believed it will drop
down from Baltimore to some cove
in the Chesapeake Bay and from
there slip to sea on the first favor
ably dark night.

CHECK CLEARING
SYSTEM RADICAL
Omaha Banker Sayi New Plan
of Federal Reserve May
Revolutionize Credits.
SORT OF AN EXPERIMENT
The new check clearing system, in
augurated Saturday by banks which
are members of the federal reserve
system, may revolutionize the credit
systems of all banks concerned, ac
cording to Luher Drake, president of
the Merchants' National bank of
Omaha.
"The new plan is a radical one, and
more or less in the nature of an ex
periment. We don't know how it will
work out, or whether it will be perma
nent." said Mr. Drake.
"The new check clearing plan is in
tended to make the exchange charge
for handling all checks uniform at
V2 cents for every transaction
handled. That is, whether a check
calls for 25 cents many thousands
of dollars, the charge made to the
bank or writer of the check for mak
ing the transfer of funds between the
banks concerned will be centl.
Old System Abolished.
"This does away with the old ex
change system, whereby amounts of
from 10 cents up, depending upon the
amount of the transaction, were
charged for handling the check.
"In addition to this change, a de
ferred credits system is now put into
operation by the federal reserve
board
"Suppose, for instance, an Omaha
wholesale house deposit $20,000 in
checks with us, drawn on banks from
all over the west.
"We send these checks to the clear
ing house, where, instead of giving us
immediate credit for the amount, they
send the checks on to the banks upon
which they are drawn, and do not
tender us credit until they are hon
ored. Would Charge Interest.
"Of course, if the banks can't get
credit for these checks until they
come back, possibly in from four to
ten days, it will be difficult for the
banks to credit the wholesaler with
the amount deposited without charg
ing interest to cover the period of
time required for the bank itself to
receive credit for the checks.
"I believe that the local banks will
each have to work out this problem
for themselves. Nothing definite has
been done yet, because we don't know
just what the new system is going to
do to us."
General Gavira Will
Resume Command
In Juarez District
El Paso, July 17. General Gabriel
Gavira, former commander of the gov
ernment forces in northern Chihua
hua, has left Mexico City for the bor
der, and will assume his old command
in Juarez at the end of the week,
Lieutenant Colonel Leon Buclon, act
ing commander of the garrison, an
nounced today. General Gavira will
relieve General Francisco Gonzales,
who left today for an inspection trip
of the Carranzista forces concentrated
in the wake of the American expedi
tionary command, and who probably
will be assigned, it was said, in charge
of the Mexican field base at Villa
Ahumada, eighty-three miles south of
El Paso.
Colonel Buclon said that other than
that Villa is surrounded in the bot
toms of the Klorido river in such a
way as to make his escape from the
de facto troops seemingly improb
able, no dispatches had been received
concerning the progress or the bandit
campaign in southern Chihuahua.

Monterey, Cal., July 17. Willie

a consequence of a hazing given them

DIPLOMATS NOT ACTING
London, July 17. The question of
the possibility of a dispute between
Great Britain and the United States
over the statue of the German com
mercial submarine Deutschland,
which arrived recently in the United
States, was raised in the House of
Commons today by John Dillon, who
asked Lord Robert Cecil, minister of
war trade, to present immediately to
Parliament the communications
which had passed between the two
governments, and to undertake to
keep the house fully informed of the
course of negotiations in this matter.
Lord Robert replied that the corre
spondence was proceeding and that it
was not in the public interest that it
should be published now. He would
see that the suggestion to keep the
house informed of the course of the
negotiations was fully considered.
"Will you see," asked Mr. Dillon,
"that Parliament is not committed to
a dispute with the United States
without the house being given an op
portunity of discussing the whole
subject? '
Lord Robert replied:
"1 don't think the house would
wish me to give such an undertaking
as that, but f will present the sugges
tion to Sir Edward Grey "
Two Received.
Washington, July 17. Both the
British and French embassies have
made representations to the State de
partment urging that the Deutschland
is a potential warship not entitled to
treatment in neutral ports as a peace
ful merchantman. The British state
ment of views was presented in
writing, but with the explanation that
it merely was for the information of
the United States and was not in the
nature of a protest.
Now that the department has ruled
formally that the submarine is en
titled to recognition as a merchant
vessel, it is understood the diplo
matic representatives of the allies are
awaiting instructions from their for
eign omces.

who were brought to this port last
night, said today that one of the two
men lost while a lifeboat was being

Washington, July 17. Suggestions
that a campaign of extermination
against sharks along the Atlantic
be undertaken by the coast guard
service were abandoned today by
Treasury department officials after
considering a report by Captain Car
den of the cutter Mohawk, saying
such a campaign would be impractic
able and that the only sure method
of protecting bathers was the ex

in use at most resorts.
