Washington, June 30.-The United

movements in Mexico and that Amer

The position of the United States is
that the revolutionary elements in
Mexico should not be augmented and
the situation further complicated by
the addition of marauding armies
which would hope to gain any degree
of military supremacy only after long
lighting. Famine conditions and the
devastation of the military factions
already in the field are of such threat

While no mention of submarine
warfare was made in either the last

New Orleans, June 28.-Constitu-
tionalst troops under General Pablo
Gonzales already have occupied a
considerable portion of Mexico City,
according to Vera Cruz reports re-
ceiyed here by Constitutionalist con-
sUlar officials. Troops under Zapata
had evacuated parts of the city before
the entrance of Gonzales, it was said.

To Guard Foreigners Lives.

General GSrranza has given the
American government formal assur-
ances that every effort will be made
by General Gonzales to guard the
lives and property of foreigners, if
his troops enter the city. 1t is feared
however, that the fighting may be car
ried into the old capital by the con
tending forces, although the diploma
tic corps hitherto has been successful
in sersuading the garrison to evacu-
ate rather than give battle in the
streets.
Dispatches from DiaZ Lombardo
Villas secretary Of state at Chihua-
hua, received at the Villa agency here,
denied reports that Aguas Calientes
had been taken by Carranza forces.
General Felipe Angeles, Villas ar
tillery expert, will arrive in Washing

ing to an announcement.

Anxiety at Washington.

Washington, June 2G-AnXiety has
increased in official quarters over the
situation in Mexico City, with which
the state department has been unable
to communicate by telegraph for sew
eral days.
Reports that Gonzales was engaged
in an artillery duel with the Zapatis-
tas at Mexico City gave the first indi-
cation that the Villa-Zapata forces in
the capital had determined to offer
resistance to the inaVding Carranza
army instead Of eyacuating.
Reliable information indicates that
General Gonzales himself cut the lines
of communication between Vera Cruz
and Mexico City in order to isolate
the Zapata force. This prevents the
state department from communicate
ing with the Brazilian minister and
deprives all other foreign governments
of information concerning their diplo-
matte missions and subjects.
Famine Grows Worse.
Famine conditions in Mexico City
have been growing worse daily, and
with the investment by new army
in progress, fears are expressed that
much suffering to foreigners will en-
sue.
While it has been generally under
stood that there will be no further
development in the general Mexican
situation as far as the United States
is concerned until the return of Presi-
dent Wilson from Cornish, il is
thought in official quarters that the
situation in the southern capital may
foxce new crisis.

FRIDAY WILL Be
SEED CORN DAY
Special Program Will be Pre-
Sented in the County
Schools.

Realizing the vast importance Of
properly selecting seed corn, Gov. Raj
ston has taken official notice of the
week of selection and has proclaimed
Friday. Oct Is. as seed corn selection
day In order that the 6>ly may be
seed corn selection day in reality as
well as In name. Charles A. Great
house, state perintendent OF pubic
instruction, has advised that all tho
rural schools cooperate with the farm
ers on that day. He suggests that
corn program be prepared for the ar.
ternOOn Of Thursday, Oct. Il, and that
Friday, Oct. 10 be used in selecting
seed corn. This plan will make 1T
possible TO finish the months work
on crops on this day.
County. Supt. of Schools Longfield
has approved of the plan and County
Agent Bordner has sent notice to all
the county school teachers explaining
the plan and giving a tentative pro-
gram for Thursday afternoon The
program suggested is as follows:

1t is estimated that SEQ 900 bushels of

can be increased 25aG0. 600 bushels If
the seed corn selected this fall be-
fore the time of heavy frOsts and is
properly saved during the winter. The
condition Of the present crop demands
immediate and concerted action on
the part of farmers if sufficient high
