WARNS THE U. 8. 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 Tinajas 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 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE CHECK CLEARING SYSTEM RADICAL Omaha Banker Says 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 1% 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 134 cents. 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 deposits $20,000 in checks with us, drawn on banks from all over the west.

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 iasked Lord Robert Cecil, minister of | war trade, to present immediately to Parliament the communications which had passed between the two overnments, and to undertake to eep 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- { MRS.

For the last five month, Dr. Cox has been working at Los Clives, Cal,, with the United States forest service in an effort to perfect a system of wireless signals*for forest fires.
