V • FTJTS BLAME ON VILLA FORCE Cbmmander of the Constitutionalists Says That the Act of Firing Across Border Would Be an Invasion of Mexican Territory. Vera Cruc, Mex., Dec. 15.--"If the tTntted States employs force to stop the firing by Mexicans across the in­ ternational boundary line at Naco, it will be considered an unfriendly act, notwithstanding the friendly motives cloaking the act." In this manner General Carranza made answer in a statement to the press to the formal notice served by the United States on both Provisional President Gutierrez and General Car­ ranza that unless such firing ceased force would be employed to protect American territory. At no time since the receipt of Sec­ retary Bryan's note, in which atten­ tion was called to the repeated wound­ ing and killing of resident of the town on the northern side of the line, has General Carranza appeared per­ turbed, but he has had long confer­ ences with those close to him .and, in in framing his reply, it is said, he has been careful not to let himself remain in any uncertain light. "General Hill, who is commanding the constitutionalist forces at Naco, is OB the defensive," continued General Carranza, "and since his back was to the line it is difficult to see how he could be responsible for the firing in question. The fact is that Maytorena's men have been the attacking party and there is appears reasonably clear that they and only they, could have been to blame. "I remember similar instances at El Paso, when the Maderista forces were attacking there. In that case those shot were, for the most part, the im­ prudent and curious individuals who flocked to witness the tghting as if it had been a spectacular show, staged tor their benefit. "As to the use of force, of which Mr. Bryan talks, that is something, the gravity of which, I fear he does not fully appreciate. He says it would not mean an invasion of our territory nor a violation of our national sovereignty. It would. And, moreover, it would cer­ tainly be an act directly against the constitutionalists, who now hold the town, and in favor of the Villa forces, who would be left free to continue their operations. It would be simply tying General Hill's hands and leav­ ing Maytorena free. "I sincerely hope that the good friendship of the American people to­ ward the Mexican people will prevent the consummation of Secretary Bryan's threat" Washington, Dec. 15.«--General Car- rahza's reply to the warning from the United States government that force would be used if necessary to stop firing into American territory by belligerent Mexican factions reached the state department but will not be made public until later. Secretary Bryan said he did not know the nature of the reply, as the message came in code and had not been de­ ciphered.

EFFECT OF WAR ON STYLES IN VIENNA Vienna.--Residents of Vienna who have endeavored to profit by the war are tailors, dressmakers, milliners and hairdressers. They have done their best to crush, if possible for all time, French and English competition. And the "arbiters of elegagpe" have already begun to declare tnelr ver­ dicts. The fashionable color is to be red; the cut of clothes is to be as near as possible to the military cut, both for women and men. For tha persuasive sex they have alio, invented what they call the "Kriegsbluse"--a two colored garment, dyed red and yellow, or green and red, or yellow and black, and so on, wiUi shining metal buttons. Hats for women are vei*r plain, made of black velvet, with a rose and plain feather--nothing else. A jury of wigmakers has devised hairdressing models, more adapted to the blonde and brown Viennese beauty. . • / • • - « • • With regard to men, at first thai* was a grave discussion of the prob­ lem as to whether the clean shaven or bearded and mustached face should predominate. This problem gave rise to the most widespread and heated discussions. A prominent woman also interfered, contending that beards made men look like monkeys. Never­ theless an extraordinary session of hairdressers decided that the beard should be worn a la Francis Joseph* and the mustache a la William. Theaa styles are now a do p tad. No In6rease in Salaries and But Very Few Additional Employniente--Sen­ ate Passe* BUI Appropriating $V 000,000 to Fight Cattle Disease. Washington, Dec. 15.--The "econo­ my policy" of the administration ia maintained in the legislative, execu­ tive and judicial appropriation bill re­ ported to the house by the appropria­ tions committee on Monday. The es­ timates are cut consistently all down the line. The senate passed a bill appropriat­ ing $1,000,000 for eradication of the foot-and-mouth disease. Although the bill carries $2,285,100 for ah agricultural census, an Item not in last year's measure, -the total reported is not greatly above that of last session. Including the allowance for the cen­ sus, the bill carries $38,744,733.50. a cut of approximately $1,982,000 in the estimates submitted. The amount ap­ propriated last year was $37,625,789. "No salaries are increased and but very few additional employments are provided for ii. any of the departments of the government," says the report filed by Representative Johnson of South Carolina, chairman of the Bub- committee which, framed the bill. The committee also economized a bit at its own expense. It inserted a legislative rider providing that here­ after members of congress shall re­ ceive only five cents per mile going to and returning from the sessions. The present allowance is 20 cents per mile each way. ' " Reductions in the force of the pen­ sion office and the post office depart­ ment are the principal salary saving, items^in the bill. These reductions, however, are more than offset by the provision for the employment of 1,000 temporary clerks to aid in tabulating the agri­ cultural census. Secretary Redfield's estimates for the bureau of foreigii and domestic commerce were' cut. He qsked $100,- 000 for "promotion and developments of foreign commerce," but receives only $75,000. The item for investigat­ ing cost of production was cut from $75,000 to $50,COO; that for promot­ ing commerce with Central and South America was reduced from $100,000 to $75,000 and the estimate of $10,000 to gather statistics of internal commerce was lowered.

Two other hills of this character ara known in Algeria, both being near Biskra, and in all cases the salt ia surrounded by triassic marls and clays. A curious feature of the Jelfa hill is the fact that in spite of the very soluble character of the material composing it It stands up in high re­ lief from the surrounding clay /and contains no valleys or other sign of erosion. It does, however, contain a, number of sink holes, as in a lime­ stone country. When the brief tor­ rential rains of winter occur the water •inks almost at once into these cavi­ ties and soaks through the permeable salt, emerging at the margin, of the hill in salt springs.
