U. S. ARMY IS SAFE

FUNSTON SAYS TROOPS CAN TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES. General Asserts Pershing Has Strong Force and Plenty of Artillery If Attacked. San Antonio, Tex., April 14. —"No apprehension need be felt about the ability of General Pershing and his advance columns to take care of themselves,” General Funston said. As in any similar condition the advance columns will fall back if they have met serious opposition and concentrate, and if pressed further will fall back on their supporting columns. General Pershing has several thousand men below Namiquipa. I do not care to disclose how many. He is especially strong there in artillery, and against any force of Mexican troops that can be concentrated quickly in that region he will be amply prepared not only to protect himself but to dominate the situation. Of course his troops will stay out of such cities as are near the line of retirement of the advance columns —if retirement is necessary—and thus avoid any instance of fighting both soldiers and populace. “While I cannot discuss my orders nor disclose our troop movements I will state this, that we have taken careful steps to know what Gomez's Sonora troops are doing. The line of communication is protected. Beyond that General Pershing must be left free to handle his troops as the situation demands.” Until ordered to act otherwise, General Pershing will continue uninterruptedly and without material change of plan, his pursuit of Villa, but he also will be expected to carry out General Funston’s orders issued today to look closely after the guarding of his lines of communication and investigate carefully all Mexican troop movements in his vicinity.

The Chinese have cared for their fish resources for centuries, but the United States leads in scientific fish propagation. A Pan-American fair to be held in San Antonio, Tex., two years hence, will be in commemoration of the Franciscan .brothers who early brought civilization and religion to the great southwestern corner of North America, founding four missions in what is now Texas between the year 1720 and 1731.

For the education of the 325 seniors at Yale college slightly more than $1,000,000 has been required. While it is figured that $4,073 for the entire four years is the average cost a student, one man alone has spent $15,000 in the process of going through college, while another has required only SBOO to provide his education. In this connection it is a noteworthy fact that 120 members of the class have earned their way through college either in part or in whole, having earned to d.ate a grand total of more than $300,000. The pith of the sunflower stalks is by far the lightest vegetable substance. Dried sunflower pith, in fact, is 10 times lighter than cork, while the pith of the elder tree is three times as light as cork. The sunflower is cultivated to a great extent in central Russia, where every part of the plant is put to some use. The pith, in particular, is carefully removed from the stalk, and used in making life-saving appliances. A sufficient quantity can be carried on a person to keep him afloat, and it is so light that he will never notice its weight.
