ENGLISH BOY SCOUTS ACTING AS PARLOR MAIDS To Circumvent the Servant Problem Brought About by the Wa London, March 23.—Boy Scouts have been introduced in many Lomes to take the place of parlor maids. This.is one of the attempts made here to circumvent the servant problem brought about by the war. Butlers and footmen have discarded their liveries and donned khaki, while thousands of young women who used to earn their living as servants have gone to serve the country (and, inci- dentally, to earn better wages) as mu- nition workers. In searching about for a solution of the problem some ingen- ious housewives hit upon the idea of employing Boy Scouts, with the result that the praciice is becoming popular. The Boy Scout waits at table, cleans the silver, and answers the door. He looks very smart in his uniform and his scout training makes him an effi- cient and satisfactory substitute for the parlor maid. MEMBER OF TENTH CAVALRY KILLED IN RAILROAD WRECK George A. Hudnell, a Negro Sol the Victim, Columpus, N. M., March 28.—A rail- road wreck in the district south of Casas Grandes caused the death of the first soldier in the American punitive expeditionary command, according to official despatches received at military headquarters tonight.

Official Reports to Washington Di close No Change in the Situation on the Border or in Mexico. San Antonio, Tex., March 28.—Con- firmation of reports that General Per- shing already has been using a por- tion of the Mexican Northwestern railroad for transportation of troops was secured by General Funston today from what was said to be an unofficial source. This information included a report of the overturning of two cars and the injuring of ten troopers of the .he Tenth cavalry and several horses. Three of the men were reported seri- ously injured. Cars Rolled Down Embankment. The accident occurred while the cars were being taken over a tem- porary track that had been bullt around the Cumbre tunnel south of Casas Grandes. One of the rails gave way and the cars rolled down an em- bankn.ent. It was not believed at headquarters that General Pershing's use of th railroad prior to receipt of permission from the Carranza government would endanger the negotiations now being conducted by the state department, because it was assumed he had gained permission of those in charge of op- erations of that section of the line. Pershing’s Silence Causes No Un ness. No reports from General Pershing were received today, but his silence caused no uneasiness at headquarters, where the chief concern continued to ‘Washington, March 28.—Diplomatic and domestic aspects of the Mexican situation overshadowed its military side here_tonight, official reports from General Funston dislosing no change in the situation on the border or in Mexjco. Congress rusaed through an emergency appropriation of $5,611,502, to pay for the pursuit of the bandits and the state department prepared to press General Carranza for pern sion to use Mexican railways to solve the troop supply problem. No Fear Reflected. Fears expressed in pross reports from the border that failure to obtain use of the railroads migiit seriously hamper the pursuit ~¢ Villy were not reflected at either the state or war & partments. Senator Gallinger, republican leader in the senate, presented to Secretary Baker a telegram from Sena‘or Fall at Bl Paso dealing with toe railway and border gestions. It is declared shipments of gasoline intended for the American forces in Mexico were being held up by Carranza officials. Growing Good Will in Mexico.

More automobile trucks have been acked for by General Funston and when they are placed in service there will be a few more than 100 along the different lines of communicat‘on. This increased number will not solve the problem of distributing supplies to the advanced troops, however, since a large part of the troops are operating far away from trails over which the cars can“be run Use of Railroads Desirable. The shifting lines of the chase Villa is leading the pursuing Americans has made more apparent the desirability of getting permission to use the Tuarez-Chihuabua line of the National as well as the Northwestern railway, but General Funston has refrained from making any representations on the subject, preferring not to interject a possible embarrassing feature in the negotiations already under way for the other line. It was pointed out that supplies routed through Chihuahua could be delivered to the advance troops now with less loss of time and that a line of communication established along the National lines could be guarded with fewer troops than one along the more circuitous, mountainous route of “he Northwestern. If either railroad is used, it is prob- able that all the troops now extending from Columbus through Casas Grandes to the positions of the advanced caval- ry will be moved eastward along the route and that those who then would be necessary to guard the main line of communication wili be moved forward to join in the operations against Villa. CURTAILING BULL FIGHTING IN MEXICAN STATES States of Aguas Calientes and Yucatan. ugestions as to the details of the protocol apparently are causing serious study at the state department. What Carranza Wants. While officials are reticent, it is understood the most important sug- gestion deals with the territory to be embraced within the scope of the agreement. It is thousht possible General Carranza desires to set nar- rower limits than had been agreed up- on by the Mexican ambassador desig- nate and the state department in the original draft. Some officials think the first_chief might be unwilling to have it disclosed just how far the Ameri- can forces have penetrated or may penetrate into his country to carry out their mission. It was indicated that General Car- ranza's proposals showed no desire to exclude the expedition from use of the Mexican railways. On the contrary, the protocol would establish a definite agreement for just that purpose. As this may take some time 1o reaca its final form, Washington officitls de- termined to press for the much more limited permission asked for by Gen- eral Funs‘on. Supply Situation Not Serious. Secretary Baker was emphatic day in saying no objection to the use of motor truck trains to supply the troops had been raised by Mexican of- ficials.
