MIKADO TRYS TO GET
BEST OF UNCLE sam
Wishes to Gain Advantage
With Great Britain

London, March 1S.-Japan is at
tempting to gain the advantage over
the United States in diplomatic rela-
tions with Great Britain by offering 70
renew with that country their treaty
of offensive and defensive alliance four
years before it expires. In some quar-
ters this step on the part of the Mi
kados government is looked upon a,
highly significant.
The Panama canal, the keystone in
the arch of Americas defense fabric
on the Pacific coast, will not be COM
pleted until 1915. The present treaty
expires that year. With the canal III
effect, theU nited States will then be
practically invincible on the western
coast due to the possibility of fleet
movements from one coast to the other
and while the United States could
send its ships through the canal, a
hostile power would have to take the
longer course around the horn.

Situation In Mexico GROWING
Worse

San Antonio, Tex, March 1S.-The
army division under command of Gem
eral Carter is today in condition for
actual warfare nd none of the Off
GERS or men would be surprised at any
time if an order came to move to the
Mexican border. Reports received here
on the situation in Mexico show that
it is growing worse daily.
The insurrection is spreading in the
states of Tamaulipas, Coahuila, Neuvo
Leon and Sonora. The Vaqui Indians
have risen and done considerable dam
age to American and other property ii
Sonora. There is much American
money invested in that state, and es-

Bloody Battles.

Bloody battles have been fought near
SaltiIlo, Morelos, Durango and at va
rious points in Coahuila and Tamull~
pas. In many instances the rebels
have been successful Under the guise
of an innocent routine order, Major
General Carter has put his division Oh
footing for immediate service. A
significant paragraph directs that the
division camp be conducted with a
view to the elimination of all unnec-
essary impedimenta and this reduction
to the least point consistent with an
efficient performance for field service.
Prior to the issuance of this order all
order came from Adjutant General

be given the fullest instructions III

This means that General Carriers
manuever division holds itself in read

as though for actual warfare within

munition. No one in the entire divis-
ion thinks he is, here entirely for drill,
The orders for readiness for the field
are not construed to mean that sort
of exercise. Twenty or more report
ers of the press of the United States
and Europe are on the ground and
have talked with every one Of the Of
fcers of the division camp. Excepting
general officers, whom large expert
ence has taught conservatism, all find
diculty in reconciliating this mobiliza-
ton with the theory of mere meneuv-
ers.

NOTES OF THE GAME

Decatur ends its series here to-
morrow.
Guthrie was hooted throughout he
game. No wonder.
Hickory Johnson, who had a hit
each of the first two times at bat,
struck out the next two times.
Snyder booted the first ball hit yes
terday, and it looked as though ne WAS
starting out the way he finished Sun
day.
Kemmers caught one off the bat Of
Snyder which was labeled for extra
bases. The fielder pulled it down
after a hard run.
II is true that seven wallops were
secured of Queisser's delivery. The
other five were off of Woods offer
ing and were about as disastrous.
Bells fielding was a feature for
the Commies yesterday aside from
the hitting of the team. He had
four or five catches and stops of the
phenomenal variety.
The Decaturites attempted dou
Bile steal in the first inning when
Smith started to steal second. Con
ding threw TO Vogel and Kommers
left third base and started home. Vo-
gel threw back 70 Gonding and re-
tired the runner.
Kelly and Snyder started the game
auspiciously with boots in the first
inning. Snyder let an easy ground
er get by him and Kelly juggled one
and followed that Juggling with a
wild heave to first. However. 10 runs
we're scored. thanks to fast fielding
by Queisser. Gonding and Vogel. who
together. nipped two runners at the
plate.
Wooley made one of the prettiest
catches seen on the local lot this
year He ran from center TO the part
Of the lot back Of the shortstops po-
sition and caught a fly ball which IN
der most circumstances would have
gone for a hit Il was not the cen
ter fielder's ball but be was the only
one of the team able TO reach 1t
and he made good. He also had a
perfect throw to his credit after an
other catch. II was to the plate and
had he had another seconds time 10
