Eugene Eubank, who landed in a Mexican mountain valley, picked up the captain a nd returned with him to report the progress of the punitive expedition to Gen. Diekman. Matlaek said the American troops are in high spirits. “Every one in the expeditionary force is well,” he said. “We have had no casualties, excep^one man who had a cactus thorn in his hand. “We are making progress in the pursuit. Hard storms have slackened our speed somewhat but we consider that we made good time. “After leaving the Rio Grande Monday morning soon after daylight, the expedition followed a fresh trail. The four men to whom the money had been paid had a start of more thais five hours on us.

The identity of the fourth bandit has not been ascertained. All four are known to Captain Matlaek as bandits operating along the Big Bend border
for years.
The two who escaped were pursued, but the trail was lost in the mountain
canyons.
It was definitely established that Jesus Renteria, leader of the outlaw band that captured Lieuts. Harold G. Peterson and Paul H. Davis, American aviators, was rot among the dead. Captain Matlaek said he passed a column of 200 Carranza troops below the border yesterday. The Carranza commander asked where the Americans were going. When he was informed they were pursuing bandits, he waved his hand and said “go ahead.” , Maj. Gen. Joseph T.

Washington, August 22.—The war department is faced by the most serious problems that have confronted it in many days. An obdurate Congress, which has determined upon a show of economy threatens to wreck what organization was created at great expense during the war. The Senate has acted, has agreed upon retaining in the service 7,500 emergency officers, the backbone of the organization, hut the House refuses to approve the Senate action. Senators a> well as war department officials, regardless of political affiliations, frankly are worried over the House action. There are 225,000 men authorized to remain in the army, as well as 35,000 sick and wounded to care for. Property valued at §0,500,000,000 is now in possession of the army as a result of the recent war. It requires officers to govern these military departments. The men who are ill must have medical officers to restore them to health. Medical oiiicers estimate that at least 3,500 men will he required for this task, hut under the army reorganization scheme, whi'h is compelled by the House's “economy,” not more •ban 032 officers
can he retained.
To care for the property now owned and care for it efficient!v, it has been estimated that 7,250 officers will he needed. Without them, decay and deterioration will result. But under the plan of reorganization dictated bv the House only 1,221 officers can he retained for this service. Engineers who are fullv capable of making a survey of property and whose estimates are accepted as a rule hv practically All public utilities, insist that under the House scheme and the shortage of officers there will be a loss W, the government of at least $050,<1W),000, and entirely he-

BELIEVES IN THE LEAGUE
An audience which filled the lower auditorium of the high school building gathered Thursday night to hear Dr. Lindley, uf Indiana University, discuss the League of Nations. The interest of the citizens was well shown by the number who attended the lecture. It was an altogether non-partisan discussion and filled with clear statement and sound reasoning. Dr. Lindley declared that there was undoubtedly much playing of polities with the League issue. On the other hand he said that there was much real difference of opinion among men capable of thinking clearly on the subject. He stated that practically all thinkers were in favor of a league of nations hut all could not agree on the kind of league. He pointed out that the chief objection urged against the present instrument was the belief on the part of many that the United States would he compelled, under the present provisions to send her armies to any part of the world to fight at the direction of the league. The speaker pointed out that the obligation to send armies to protect members of the league from the aggression of neighbor states was a moral and not a legal obligation and that our armies would never go unless, as in the present war, public opinion deemed such action necessary and wise. He declared further that President Wilson held this idea of the meaning of Article X. As to reservation * now being discussed in the Senat . he declared he believed them valuable and also that they should he written into this country's ratification of the instrument. The speaker closed by declaring that the league wa a leap in the dark. No one could foretell how it would work. 1’ wa n however, a leap toward the light.
VDYANUE OF 50 cNTS IN LO« L HOG PRICED —August 22— Indianapolis Receipts—Hogs. b.OOO; cattle, 900; ealves, fiOO; sheep, 1.300. Hogs sold 50 cents higher in the local yards today with the hulk of the sales at $21.50. Several loads brought $21.55 to $21.60. liocal packers took about 1,500 of the hogs and 3,500 went to outside buyers. Cattle, ealves and sheep were steady.
Is now cared for by civilians. Sol diers who formerly eared for it have been demobilized. Officers are needed to superintent the work of the untrained civilians. But the House says
the officers cannot he had.
The bill to permit tho retaining of these officers is in the House now without prospect of getting it out. Representative F'rank W. Mondell, Republican floor leader, is not concerned with getting it out. He insists that the measures before the House now are nothing hut “chicken feed” and in this belief others in the House concur. He is ably assisted in impressing this view upon others by Representative James Mann, of Illi-
nois.
Republican Senators have chafed under such evidences of stupidity in
the House, hut the House retorts sug- fourth Kradeg
gestions are offered by Senate Republicans that, the Senate is making just as bad a mss of the peace treaty controversy and that the Senators had better attend to their own business. Secretary Baker is worried over the failure of thc House to join in the effort to save the organization and to give wounded men proper treatment as well as to care for valuable property. The loss at this time would he most serious because it took taxation to build up this organization and there will he no salvage if it is ruthlessly destroyed as the House leaders plan that it shall be. But Secretary Baker has ordered the demobilization of the army officers just as the House has ordered. He is following in the paths Congress plans for him as duty equires that he shall. Just as officers under him must obey the command, the secretary becomes a good soldier
and obeys Congress.
It is this situation that cries aloud for the appearance of Will H. Hays in Washington and for him to find some leaders for his forces who will exhibit signs of sanity if nothing
else.
