GERMANS DEMAND PROTECTION
For Citizens In Mexico-Envoy Will
son Called to Washington.

Washington, July 16.-The sum-
moning of Ambassador Wilson to
Washington to discuss the Mexican
situation, 1t was stated at the White
House to-day, was the direct result
Of formal demand by Germany that
the United States take some immedi-
ate step to quiet the disturbance
south Of the Rio Grande.
Germany, 1t was learned to-day,
has filed note, drafted by Count
Won Heimhausen, counsellor of the
German embassy, demanding that the
United States do something to pro-
tect foreigners IN Mexico.
Demands Subjects BE Protected.
1t was stated merely, in the most
emphatic of terms, that Germany de-
mands protection for her subjects
and their property, and that it is the
duty of the United States to provide
protection inasmuch as the Monroe
Doctrine prohibits European nations
from landing troops on the soil Of
the Western Hemisphere.
1t Is believed that Germany's note
is only the first of a series of other
diplomatic utterances from Europe-
notes which will either embroil the
United States with, Mexico or jeop-
ardize the vitality of the Monroe
Doctrine.
To Delay Action.
Washington, July 17.-The admin
istratton will make no move in the
Mexican situation and will reserve
announcement of its future policy to-
ward the Huerta government until
after President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan have had an opportunity to
confer with Ambassador Henry Lane
Wilson, now en- route to Washington
from Mexico City.
Upon the advice and report OF con-
ditions which Ambassador Wilson
himself presents will depend whe-
ther he will return to the Mexican
capital
NO answer will be made, to the
note of one OF the European powers
about conditions in Mexico until the
Washington government has had an
opportunity to learn the true state
Of affairs in the Southern republic.
Adm inistration officials, In stating
the facts tonight, confessed their
embarrassment and difficulty in OBJ
tanning trustworthy information at
long range about Mexican politics
and It's ephemeral changes. These
same officials let 1t be known Incl
dentally that they believed the DEM

LOOMING FOR $4,000 PER JOB.
Hon. j. e. Boggs Seeks Assistant U.
s. Attorneyship.
(Anderson Intelligencer.)

julius E. Boggs, ESQ.,, for eight
years solicitor Of this, the Tenth Cir
cult, and once candidate for Con-
gress from this district, who made
an even split of Anderson county for
the office, may be appointed Assistant
Attorney General of the United
States. Mr. Boggs returned yester-
day from Washington, where he
spent three weeks in the interest of
mis- candidacy.
South Carolina's senior Senator,
B. r. Tillman, is leaving no stone
unturned in Mr.. Boggs's behalf, and
his chances Of success are exceed
ing bright. Mr.. Boggs also has the
backing of the junior Senator, e. D.
Smith, and other Influential! Senat rs
and congressman.
While in Washington Mr.. Boggs
had conferences with some Of the
leading influential men, and he has
laid well his plans to knock down
the juicy plum he has determined to
secure, ........
Mr.. Boggss resemblance to Presi-
dent woodrow Wilson was comment
ed on by numbers of Senators, Con-
gressmen and public men Of Wash
ington. In fact, when Mr.. Boggs
held a conference with the President,
the nations chief had quite a lot to
say of his double" and that in a
complimentary way, too. Mr.. Boggs
and the President both wear glasses,
are clean shaven, Of the same weight
and build and have swing to their
walk.
Mr.. Boggs was on his way to the
station Wednesday morning when he
was told that President Wilson
wished to Sc him before leaving. Mr..
Boggs then called on the President
and had quite lengthy conference
with him. The nature Of the confer
ence Mr.. Boggs did not give out, but
1t is known that he Is feeling pretty
good over his prospects Of landing a
$40, 0,000-a-year job.
While Of course the appointment
lies with the President, 1t will be
made on the recommendation OF At
torney General McReynolds, who, It
is believed, was favorably impressed
with Mr.. Boggs, who held a lengthy
conference with him during his stay
in Washington.

GHOST STORY FOUND BELIEF
Suit That Presented circ1mstantiaI
Evidence in Favor Of Those Claim
ing 10 See Il.

One of the most circumstantial
stories Of apparitions is that Of Old
Booty's ghost, which is said to have
been tie subject Of an action in the
kings bench in 1858, relates the
London Chronicle. 1t arose from a
statement by certain Captain Bar
naby that when shooting rabbits on
the island of Stromboli, in the Medi-
terranean, on Friday, May Is, 1887,
he had seen Old Booty, his next door
neighbor, running into the burning
crater there, pursued by the devil.
Mrs. Booty, the widow, had the cap
tain arrested, and claimed a thou
sand pounds damages for what he
had said.
But when the case was heard it
was proved that Old Booty actually
died within two minutes of the time
he was said to have been seen on
Stromboli, and that all the circum-
stances of the apparition we're noted
in the journals of three ships cap
tains present. And on Old Booty's
clothes being produced in court they
we're identified by all the witnesses
for the defense as those worn by the
man who ran into the burning era
ter. Mrs. Booty lost her case, the
judge remarking: "The Lord have
mercy upon me and grant that l
may never see what you have seen.
One, two or three witnesses may be
mistaken, but thirty never"

ice-crcam coda, That Summer

Ice cream has been a dominating

water industry since the advent of
the pure fruit syruys. The addition
Of This frozen palate-tickler to soda
water not only improved the richness
and smoothness Of the beverage, but
at the same time increased its food
value.
With the advent of the luscious
sundae came still additional in-
crease in the consumption Of both
soda and ice cream at fountains.
Everyone known just how tempting

the added syrup, fruits and nuts---a
combination pleasing alike to eye

There are many claimants to the
honor of 81 did it first" as there are
to almost all of the combinations
represented by the modern menu OF
dispensers guide, but whoever
thought of the sundae first did a
good thing, for which the public as
well as the. fountain industry owe
vote of thanks.
In the spring of 1874 Robert NJ.
Green of Philadelphia secured a con-
cession to dispense soda water at
an exposition held under the aus
pieces of the Franklin institute of
Philadelphia, and stress of business
compelled him to do something to
attract the patronage of the public.
AT all events, such was the inspira-
homecoming to Mr.. Green
which prompted him to put ice

Fred Sanders of Detroit was a
prominent confectioner of the Michi-
gan city. The inspiration to usegice
cream with soda water came to Mr..
Sanders one night when his plain
cream had soured and, without the
knowledge that it had already been
used as component of soda water
in the east, Mr.. Sanders used ice
cream and featured 1.-THE Phar-
maceutical Era.

ARTIFICIAL TIME DIVISIONS.

The week is not a real division of
time, for there is no change in ma
ture to mark it 1t is part of the
religious marking off of time, but in
the sense of natures division it is
wholly artificial. This is not true of
night and day, which we would know
for divisions, even had they no
names, nor of the year, for while
man has given to the months their
names, they are really marked off
from each other by sharp variations
of weather. May is really different
from June, and October from No
