BITTER FEELING IN MEXICO
By the AuMclatrd Prus
Marfa, Tex., Ann. 23,-Thrpo liun
dred and seventy-five American caval
rymen, who last Tuesday entered Mex
ico In pursuit of the bandits who held
Lieutenants Harold (1. Peterson nud
Paul N. Davis for ranom, were back
,6n American soil today following aban
donment of the chase yeitcrdny. The
troops resumed patrol of the border.
Major James 1. Yancey, commander
of. tho expedition, told the As-ociatcd
Tress over the army field telephone nt
Ruldosn today that he coiilnrel the
report authentic that Jesus ltentoria,
bandit leader, had been shot and killed
from an American airplane last
Tuesday.
The bandit was slain at Carrlzozo
Springs, forty miles south of Candc
larja. "Wc Rot what we believed to be
confirmation of the reports of the kill
ing of Jesus Kenteria by Lieutenant
It. II. Cooper," Major Ynncey said.
"Mexicans on the trail told us of the
report and others near Coyame con
firmed It."
First reports of the klllinjr of Hen
tcrla were brought to the bonier Init
night by Lieutenant Harold G. Peter -con,
one of the American aviators held
by tbe bandit for ransom.
Major Yancey also confirmed the
Statement made by Lieutenant Peterson
that a night patrol of American troops
caused upon u large patrol of Cur
ranza troops near Coyame Satuidny
night while pursuing Apolino Itenterla,
brother of tho bandit leader, and the
pursuit was abandoned. Tho Ameri
can patrol returned to the camp of the
expeditionary troops for n conference.
At this conference Major Yancey Miid
& decision was reuched to withdraw
Sunday, as the Americans had been
unable to locate the hot trail, due to
heavy rains.
Troops Kecross holder
The troops, after riding for hours in
a heavy rainstorm, began at 11 o'clock
to cross tho river at Hocky Ford, seven
miles from Ituidosa. The main column
was delayed for two hours because of
the storm.
The cavalry troops came out of
Mexico In excellent condition and with
out casualties, after live days of hard
riding.
Ranchers and Texas Rangers from
settlements along the Hio Grande ar
riving here today reported much ill
feeling among the riviliun populations
Cf small towns ncro- the Klo Grande.
These arrivals said the search for the
bandits and military operations iu j
Mexico had intensified the bitter feeling
which ninny natives on the Mexican
tide of the river, who ore in sympathy ,
with bandits, have had for many jienrs. I
"Further depredations nre feared b
American ranchers, although border
' patrols have been strengthened ilong
the Rio Grande in this district.
Nine Bandits Captured
During the six das the American
punitive eipeditlon was below the bor
der, tour bandits were Killed by the
troops and another by airmen, while
nine btndits are reported to hae been
captured at Cojume bj Carranza sol
diers. The captured bandits are said to
have been members of tho Uenteriu
band, which captured Lieutenants
Peterson and Davis.
Lieutenants George K. Uice and V.
Xj. Boquet, American army aviators,
who were reported missing below the
Rio Grande jesterday, after they had
left Royce field for Mexico to reconnoi
ter foijthc punitive expedition, were lo

I'xports through the port of Phlladel'
phia during the month of June had n
total vnluntlon of .$00,023.(110. Dur
ing June of 1018 exports were valued
nt $20,7S0,S.S2. or $40,137,037 less.
"The figures In this one item nre in
dicative of the demand from foreign
countries nnd portend nn Increase, In
volume nnd value ns ship bottoms be
come available for that trade nnd the
American merchant marine grows in
strength and importance," according to
Director Webster, of the Department
of Wharves, Docks and Ferries.
"With respect to the first though,
foreign necessities are shown in the fact
that the value of llrltish imports for
seven months ended July 31 exceeded
that of exports in the same period bv ,
403,000.000," he said. "The imports1
had a value of 870,000,000 and tho!
exports 107.000,000. And, showing the I
readiness this country is displaying in
establishing a merchant fleet with which
to carry nbroad our productions, the
shipping hoard's latest figures gave the
number of vessels under its control as
118'J. with nil aggregate tonnage of
$(1,513,372 deadweight tons, 4,342,248
gross tons."
"In spite of the insufficient number
of ships assigned to this port the totals
of vessels arriving and clearing in July
was 241, tonnage 888,1574. This was
thirty-two more than in July, 1018.
As the shipping board , assigned more
bottoms to the port. Increase in Hues
followed and shipments became heavier,
but has not met the demand."
The director draws three Important
conclusions from these facts.,
"That the importance nnd availa
bility of this port arc strongly mani
fest in the grrfwth of business; that the
maintenance of our position ns one, of
the world's best harbors is n matter of
continued energy, even greater thau
heretofore shown, nnd that expansion
of harbor equipment is essential to kep,
not alone abreast, but well ahead of
this enviable position."

Calls Ilritaln Highwayman
Likening Great Ilritaln's legal posi
tion In Egypt to that of n highwayman,
Joseph W. Folk, counsel for the
Kcvntinn nence delegation, told the
Senate foreign relations committee to
.. ,i.ni tl, V.rcnlllns trentv nronoscd':, ..' , x-... v.,1.
i uj in. .. .... .......... ---- ,;:,
to validate the "robbery of Egyptian
independence.
Having occupied Egypt after con
struction of the Suez canal under the
pretext of protecting the Egyptians
from rebels, Mr. Folk said. Great
Britain in 1014 "seized the Egyptian
government and now proposed under
the trentv to reduce her to a subject nn
tion." The treaty, he sold, would make
Egypt's grievance ngainst Great Brit
ain an internnl question, so that it could

nations.
Ash- Self-Determlnatlon
"The people of Egypt," the witness
declared, "want n league of nations
which will protect their independence
nnd not destroy it. They ask you not
to denv them that self-dcterminatlou
for which more than n million Egyp
tians fought in the wnr just ended.
The delegation sent to the Paris con
fercnee by the Egyptian rcprcsentotlye
ossemblv, Mr. Polk said, was held iu
"Virtual imprisonment" nnd was not
nermitted to even send n representative
to the 1'nited States.
He declared the

would

Itequosts Bight of Appeal
Great Britain repentcdly had pledged.
Mr. Folk said, thnt her occupation of
Eirypt would be temporary, aud he asked
that a clause be written into the treaty
giving Kgvpt the right to appeal to the
league council. Hepublioan members
of the committee suggested, however,
that the league was to be controlled by
the same powers as made the treaty,
and that Great Britain's right in Egypt
already had been recognized formally
by the American State Department.

British rule in Egypt, Mr. Folk said , ?"000.
drest Britain had "suppressed" the.
