WASHINGTON, 1). C.. March '22.—The
War Department tonight received u dis-
patch froni General Futiatoii at-atiug that
Luis Herrera, commanding the Carranza
fortes in ( hlhuiihu.", had revolted with
2.000 troops, and gone over to I he side of
Villa.
War Department offlrials had regarded
lierrera as one of the most loyal ol' Car-
ranza's generals. and the news of his de-
fection came as a surprise. It was pointed
out in other quartets, however, that Her-
rera had been mentioned as the man who
compelled Cur run/.a to demand that the
I'nlted Suites Uoverninent withdraw all
troops from Vera Cruz under threat of an
uprising by all Mexico "to drive the grin-
gos into the sea." An unofficial report,
unconfirmed at the War Department, re-
•fived tonight, states that more than twen-
ty American motor trucks, minus their
drivers, have been found south of the bor-
der on the general line* of communication
with General Pershing's force.
LIKt'T. WILLIS KKPtMtTKP SAFE.
The War Department received an offi-
cial report tonight that Lieutenant Rob-
ert H. Willis, one of two missing aviators,
has turned up safely ;it Casas (Jrandes.
The department is still without information
of the whereabouts of Lieutenant Kdgar
S. Uorrell, the other aviator.
Every effort is being made by the forces
iu the field to locate the missing man. The
searching parties which are scouring the
desert country In the foothills of the Sierra
Madres in quest of the missing aviator, are
composed of brother aviators, motor truck
drivers, cavalrymen and infantrymen.
The fact that Lieutenant Uorrell had
with him only u three days' water supply
is causiug the gravest anxiety.
One report received tonight from Car-
ratuia's foreign office was to the effect that
"the necessary orders had been issued to
push with vigor the campaign against the
Indians in the Vaqui Valley." This was
said at the War Department to be the first
intimation that the Vumii Indians are again
nn the war path. The department has
known for some time that 0,000 of these
Indians were armed a nil so reported to
the State Department. The Navy Depart-
ment wa* also informed and orders were
sent to Heal Admiral Winslow to hold
ships and marines in readiness at San
Diego.
Late advice:* nt the War Department state
the wires from Torreoii to Duraugo have
been cut, "presumably by bandits." other
reports say that all is quiet iu the vb inity
of Topolobampo and Uuaymas.
Secretary o! War Hakei announced to
day that the line of motor trucks for
the transportation of supplies between Co
lumbus and Pershing's headquarters at
Casas Giaudes was now in operation. Sin- e
the <le<talon was made to send the ptml
live expedition Into Mexico constant addi-
tions have been made to the numoer ot
motor t rin ks available for army transport
use.
As an emergency expedient all the sup-
plies that could be spared from the quar-
termaster's depot .it San Antonio were sent
to Columbus. There are now on the wy
from Chicago and St. Louis additional
Mipjpllcs. It l* stated that the (Jhieugo
depot is furnishing about three fifths of
the rations and material for rations now
needed by the troops.
Brigadier General Henry D. Sharp*, as
distant quartermaster general of the army,
has been directed 1o send unlimited sup-
plies to the border in view of the orders
which went out yesterday to send reiu
fort fluents of cavalry nnd infantry.
Whether new orders are about to be is-
sued to other commands would not be
stated at the War Department tonight,
nor would Secretary Baker say whether
it was contemplated to send all available
troops In the. i'nited States to the border
with the exception of the coast artil
lery.
MILITIAMEN MAY BE SENT TO
MEXICAN BORDER FOR
PATROL DUTY.
Staff KpfM'lal to 'I'lie tiipreHS.
WASHINGTON, I>. 0„ March 22—Texas
National Guardsmen may be «oon mobilized
on the Mexican border.
Coincident with the departure today of
part of the Fifth Cavalry from Fort Meyer
for the border nud with the news that
General Funston fs calling for more troops,
It was learned the War Department If con-
sidering a call on the National Guard.
In realization of the fact that guard
forces may be needed, the division of mili-
tary affairs since the Mexican trouble de
veloped, has been extremely active. Many
organizations, especfaliy of cavalry and
field artillery In the guard have been In
spected and sent supplies calculated lo fit
them for field service on short notice.
Artny officers here are convinced that
some of the guard troops should be called
on without delay. They are not optimistic
over the Mexican compilation, and espe-
cially they realize the difficulty of afford-
ing proper patrol for the border.
Thus far, the Administration has been
unwilling to call on the guards not be-
cause the troops could not be used, but
because It has been feared, nnd still is
feared, that to call on the militia, or part
of it, would be heralded fn Mexico as the
sign of an aggressive policy. The Admin-
istration is taking precaution to avoid
spreading the Idea In Mexico that this Gov-
ernment contemplated anything mure than
a punitive expedition.

(Special to the International News Service and London Daily Telegraph.)
ROME, March 22.—The governments of the allies have secured evi-
dence and documents which will shortly be puhlished, proving that Aus-
tria and Bulgaria were guilty of horrible crimes in Serbia, massacres
.worse than those irt Armenia were perpetrated.
According to the evidence whith the Serbians have communicated
. to the Italian government and the Pope, the victims exceeded 700,000.
S Whole districts and towns were depopulated. Women, children and old
? mSn were shut up in a church by Austrians and either bayonetted or
\ suffocated by asphyxiating gas. In one church in Belgrade it is alleged
i 3,000 women, children and old men were present when bombs and ma-
ll chines for producing asphyxiating gas were distributed to the Bulgarians.

Note: It Is now asserted with coufi

A new remedy, called "Anuric," has been
3iscovered by Dr. fierce, and is the cause
■»f at drainage outward of the uric acid

body. It will ward off backache, head-
cbe and the darting pains and aches of
artbular or muscular rheumatism -of those

HKKLIN, March 21 (Via The Hague,
March 22>.—Humors that peace is immi-
nent, coining principaly from the United
States, have no foundation as far as Ger-
many is concerned. Responsible officials
here deny that there la reason for any
such expectation. Humors are constantly
current i» Germany that peace negotia-
tions of a tentative and definite sort are
proceeding in Switzerland or some other
neutral country, but not in a single In-
stance has investigation proved that there
was any ground for these reports.
It cannot be denied, however, that cer-
tain factors iu world affairs are con-
tinually putting out "feelers" and occasion-
ally peace talk becomes a reality iu one
or another belligerent Parliament.
Germany's last official peace expedition,
made by Chancellor von Berthmanu-Holl
weg when tho Reichstag convened, stated
that at that time Germany was ready to
negotiate for peace but could not do so
on terms of a ruined Germany, which
seemed to be the aim of the allies.
There was much criticism of the Chan
cellof at the time and especially afterward
when the British press represented Ger-
many as weakening and seeking a settle
menf of the war. It was resolved offi-
cially then that no more official peace
talks should emanate from the central
powers till the entente had adopted a
l^asonable attitude and realized the
futility of the dream of destroying tho
German empire.
In the meantime military preparations
have been going forward on the basis of a
war to last Indefinitely. Some comment
has been occasioned in Germany recently
by the speeches in the House of Commons
iu which it was suggested that Kngland
ought t<> initiate a pence movement anil

Iterated the statement that the allies would
never sheathe the sword until Prussian
