Associated Press leased wire service to Bisbee Daily

, Review begins March 20

Melville E. Stone

12 22p

In the above telegram from Melville E. Stone, General Manager of the Associated Preis,

is contained confirmation of an achievement in journalism in the Warren District which

signals a new era of progress and enlightenment in this community. Readers of The Re

view throughout Arizona and in the border states of Mexico will share in equal measure

with the Warren District in this journalistic boon.

What does the installation of leased wire service in The Review building mean? Just

this that the news gathering facilities of the Associated Press which extend to every cor

ner of the earth are placed at the command of Review readers. It means that the territory '

served by The Review is no longer remote, from a newspaper viewpoint. It means that this

territory is actually in almost immediate communication with ihe news centres of the

United States, Europte, South America, Asia, in fact, every quarter of the globe.

Beginning next Tuesday, our readers will enioy the newspaper advantage possessed

by residents of the largest cities except for the volume of matter published. When occas

ion warrants, news of the Warren District will be flashed broadcast over the leased wire

installed in The Review office. To sum up briefly the new order of things, the big terri

tory covered by The Review is brought into intimate touch not only with all of our Unit

ed States but with every foreign land. Of equal importance is the fact that the Warren

District will be more closely knit to all other communities in Arizona. The Review will

be enabled to publish all the State news which readers demand. '

Heretofore, residents in The Review's territory have found it desirable occasionally to

buy newspapers published in Los Angeles, El Paso and other cities enjoying leased wire

service in order to reid ALL the news of ALL the world. Beginning Tuesday, The Review

will supply EVERY need of EVERY news-paper reader, and thus furnish ALL the news

of ALL the world from twenty-four to forty-eight hours in advance of the time when out-of-town

papers are received. Further comment on the leased wire service is made on the

editorial page of this issue. ,

Bill Monday.

i ' WASHINGTON, March 18. - With

virtually unanimous declaration for

national preparedness, house army in

crease bill reached the amendment

stage after a ten hour debate. The

House will begin discussion of details

Monday, but indications are that, the

opposition measure as a change of na

tional policy has collapsed. The Sen

ate's army bill also will come up on

Monday with administration leaders

urging the Senate to sidetrack all oth

er business until disposed of. Interest

centers around the President's attitude

between the two measures, which dif

fer essentially. Chairman Hay of the

House Military Committee described

the House bill as the "President's

own" bill.

Tonight the President let it be

known that while he favors the geuer

?1 features of the Hay bill he will not

be committed to details. Administra

tion officials are looking to the con

ference committee which will adjust

the House and Senate bills after their

passage and produce a measure to

meet the President's full approval.

When the House adjourned Repre

ment proposing that the total author

NO FEDERAL AID FOR

Sheriff Wheeler that Locrl

Officers and State Guard

Will Have to be Looked to.

TOMBSTONE. March IS (Special)

There will be no federal aid to the

towns of Cochise county except those

immediately exposed to raids from

Mexico, according . to the mcsee

that was received by Sheriff Wheeler

this morning in reply to the one that

he sent to General Funstod on Thurs

day. The telegram received this

morning reads as follows:

Sheriff HarVy Wheeler.

Tombstone. Ariz.

Replying to your telegram of the

sixteenth, the department commender

directs me to inform you that it is

impossible to furnish guards from

federal troops to all towns in New

Mexico and Arizona that have asked

for them. No less then twenty towns

have requested guards. You can

therefore see that federal troops

would be scattered across these two

states and would not be available for

any concentrate-! action. The only

points that have been given guards

are those that were in imminent

danger of raids by hostile forces from

across the border. All towns that

think themselves in dancer of local

uprising much depend upon their

local authorities first and upon stat

authorities neJ to give thm protec

tion. Federal troops cannot be sent

UDtil after national guards of state

shall have exhausted its efforts.

NOT A SHOT HAS

fuses to be Invited into Fight

with the Americans.

EL PASO. March 18. The first

phase of the American expedition to

Mexico, in its rush along Villa's dim

j trail to the endangered Mormon col

onies is an accomplished fact tonight

: and accomplished without firing a

i hostile shot by the Americans. The

j second phase is already beginning. It

i was indicated, as tbe Americans have

: turned somewhere from Casas Gran

des to resume night marches toward

the rough mountain slopes wher-?

Villa has already preceded with a

start of one hundred miles. There

is a warning that this will not be

accomplished without fighting iti

bandits. It is implied a new and

i more stringent censorship at Coluni

j bus has been established.

j There was brief excitement today

j at Columbus when two soldiers on

j stretchers were brought into camp,

j One was thrown from a horse and

: the other had stomach trouble. When

Washiugton announced the American

column did not intend to occupy the

i cities, a menace to Mexican pride was

removed.

' The American troogs did not enter

i Casas Crandes last night and this

: morning found them camped Bear

, Colonia Dublan. Villa is located, nilb,

, some degree of detiuiieness. in west

ern Chihuahua, nearly due south of

j the American columns.

I All accounts sy Villa is 100 miles

'ahead of the Anierical soldiers. The

Americans are nearing the ground

: over which Villa recently passed

. where they will have an opportunity

,lo test the temper of the rural Uexl

I cans from whotu they might receive

! valuable information.

! The story that Villa is gathering

I :nen and U preparing to resist was

revived in constitutionalist circles. He

: is even said to have ten million rounds

of cartridges and sheils. many of

' home manufacturers secreted iu the

mountains here he is expected to

make a stand.

i Mexican Consul Garcia doubted the

! report and claimed that Villa intends

: to make the expedition a joke. "I am

i convinced Villa intends so play hide

and seek with the Americans. He

will never risk a fcal battle. News

of the rewards will flash through the

j country. I will be surprised if they

' do not bring results."

Garcia denied that tne pevp'e of

Guerrero and Galena were in sympa

thy with Villa. "Many are afraid ot

him because of the rain of terror he

; has inaugurated, but It must ' be re

. membered that Villa of today is not

the Villa of five years ago."

PLANS MAY CHANGE.

SAN ANTONIO. March IV Failure

by Villa :o make a stand, and fight be

fore the end of next week, will rad

ically alter the methods employed so

far b the commander of the punitiv

expedition. Pershing's plan is not re

vealed and will not be if Funston can

prevent it. Every effort will be made

to keep the troops' movements a

iecret. I'ershiug's scouts may hae

brought him information on Villa's

location but such as were received at

general headquarters heie makes any

assertion little better reason to be

lieve that Villa has retreated as the

Americans advanced and that he i

somewhere in the Galena district,

south of Casas Grjndes. .Most of the

reports place him trom sixty to one

hundred miles south of Casas Graa

tie in the mountains.

When Pershing start ed the junction

Casas Grandes. as planned without

expectation that Villa would e sight

only chance to eatch im at thit

stage ws that he would gather bla

forces and resist the advaic.

According to Punston's repe-H nftt

a shot was fired at the invader.
