"The Allies mus. by all lawful

At the same time. Lord Cecil duti-

His statement, being the first in be-

coming at time when the public is
clamoring for drastic action to cut off

some quarters to presage this step in

be made public here within few
days.

With the appeal dispatched the
United States government will insti,
tute a friendly and persistent effort o
induce Mexican leaders, who thus far
have shown q disposition to oppose
the movement, to sacrifice their. per.
sonal views j. the common Mexican
interests. That General Carranza will
maintain the defiance he has indicat

Two United States batt1eships, the
Louisiana and the New Hampshire,
are Fastening to Vera Cruz at the
earnest request Of Commander Nc
Nance, the first officer in command
in Mexican waters. Commander Nc
Nance in his report to Washington
said that Mexicans have been making
street speeches in Vera Cruz, in
which they have assailed Americans
and other foreigners. He also said
there have been numerous efforts to
incite uprisings, although. so far none
has been successful. Washington Of
ficials have endeavored to make it
plain that the dispatching of these

WARD COUNTY
HARVEST IS ON
Cutting Has Commenced and from
Now on Farmers Will Work
Tirelessly to Save Crop.

Minot, Aug. 13.--Many farmers are
harvesting their early wheat this
week: Rye cutting has been complet-
ed and the yield Is very satisfactory.
In some fields, the erect of the frost
early in the summer can be seen, but
the crop was not damaged seriously.
Rye appears to be good for fifteen to
twenty bushels.
The wheat is filling perfectly. We
have not heard of any black rust in
North Dakota and this will have to ap
pear very quickly If it does any dam
age. The weather this week has been
exceptionally warm and the grain is
ripening rapidly. While the harvest
is not as early as year ago, 1t will be
a week earlier than expected short
time ago. The wheat harvest will be
on all at once and the farmers will
have to do some tall hustling to save
all of their grain.
Hundreds of field hands nave ar
rived in Minot and are being placed.
The city Of Minot is conducting free
employment bureau at the city hall.
This Is in charge Of Police Commits
sioner Householder and assistants.
This is proving to be fine thing for
laborers and farmers alike. Farmers
are paying $3.50 to day for competent
help during harvest.
Haying is on. The recent rains in
terfered with haying and harvest will
be on in full blast before all the hay
Is put up. The hay crop is big.
Without doubt, the farmers will
harvest the greatest crop In this his
tory Of North Dakota. II you want
to see the prettiest sight ever beheld
in any land, take a drive out into the
grain fields of North Dakota right
now. The heads are long, and are
filled to the very tic.

1t is about half OF the gang which at
tackled the Neorias ranch house Sun
day night. At least 50 membersof
this band came direct from the 'Mexi-
can side Of the Rio Grande, it is said
by officers here.
Apprehension in Brownsville is not
about what the Mexicans may do in
raids similar to those Of the past
three days, hut as to the truth of
reports that, in case of any repeti-
tions Of the Americans landing at
Vera Cruz, an attempt will be made
by CarranZa troops in MatamOras to
sack Brownsville in reprisal.
Although the nun ber of Mexicans
killed In the raids is given officially
as between Is and 20, it is known that
more have been killed.
