PENNSCROVE 'DRYS' SEEK
TO Danish LICENSED BAR

PENNSGROVE, \. j., Sept PA
bitter fight between the liquor men and
dry forces is beginning here as the re-
suit of the movement that has been
started to rid the town Of its single Ii
censed bar and to prevent the opening of
other liquor places.
The dry movement, it is said, is re-
ceiving the support of the dupont Pow
der Company because the company's Off
cials find that so much drinking Is
handicapping the work at the plants
here They also ay that the menace of
having drinking men engaged in the oc-
cupation of powder making is too great.
Notices have been conspicuously posted
about the works stating that workmen
who are discovered drinking will be inn
mediately discharged. Hundreds of men
have been dropped from the company's
payrolls in the last few weeks for no
other apparent car c than that they
have been suspected of being drinking
men.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June AT
the White House this morning it was
announced that President Wilson has
arranged to receive Count Won Bern
storff. the German ambassador, today
and that the interview has been ar
ranged at the request of the Teuton
Diplomat. While the German reply to
President Wilson's initial note will
undoubtedly be the chief topic dis
cussed it is believed the whole Ger
man scheme of submarine warfare and
attacks on neutral ships will also be
referred to.
Count Won Bernstorff, 1t is known,
desires to learn personally the presi-
dents viewpoint on the delicate situa
ton resulting from the sinking of the
Lusitania, by a German submarine, re-
sulting the loss of one hundred AMI
thirty-seven American lives, besides
a property loss amounting to many
thousand dollars. Today's meeting be-
tween the chief executive of the United
States and the personal representative
of the Kaiser in this country is looked
upon as of the utmost importance, as
it is certain the ambassador will trans
NIT the presidents views to the Ber-
lin government, where they will be
considered in connection with the sec
ond American note, the dispatch OF
which is anticipated before the end of
the present week.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June Pres
ident Wilson'S warning to Mexico that
the United States cannot permit pres
ent conditions to continue, was for
warded today to American agents in
that country, who will deliver it to
the factional leaders at the same time
it is made public at the white house.
The communication, which is ad-
dressed to Generals Carranza, Villa,
Zapata and Cara, as the principal
Mexican factional leaders, was not
sent as a diplomatic note from the
United States, but as a declaration Of
President Wilson's attitude toward the
present disturbed conditions in Mexico,
as expressed in statement to the
American people. In brief, the COM
munication points out that revolution.
al COuultIOiS nave 6AlSleu III MEXICO
during more than two years with the
various factional leaders protesting
the same object, viz, to restore consti-
tutional rights and grant increased ad-
vantages to the people, but with the
leaders unable to agree with one an
other in the hour of success.
The note says that unless conditions
improve within very short time the
United States will feel it to be its duty
to lend it's active moral support to
some man, or group of men, if such
may be found, who can establish and
maintain order throughout the troub-
led republic. This is not interpreted
to mean that American troops will be
thrown into Mexico at once, but that
this country will soon recognize one
of the factions in that country, and
through its support secure for such
faction the recognition and support
of other great powers. Should this
not result in order being restored, lit
tie doubt remains that armed forces of
the United States will assist in the
task of putting down the revolution.
The communication concludes, "If
factional leaders cannot compose their
differences without delay, the United
States will be constrained to decide
what means should be employed by
this country in order to help Mexico
save herself and serve her people"

RICHMOND, Va, June 2.-Despite
a heavy, cold rain which fell through
out practically all of last night, the
thousands of Confederate veterans at.
tending the national reunion in ses-
sion here, were we'll and enthusiastic
this morning. Richmond's streets to-
day presented an unusual sight, thl
long lines of former Confederates
many of whom by reason of extreme
age are compelled to rest frequently
viewing sights of interests and relat-
ing incidents of their stirring expert
ences of the sixties.
Probably majority of the veterans
attending the reunion are quartered at
Camp Stuart, located in the center OF
the Virginia State Fair grounds, where
every comfort has been provided for
their accommodation by the commit
tee in charge. Roomy weatherproot
tents shelter the aged warriors from
the fury of the elements, and the num-
erous bands accompanying local vet
erans' organizations furnish delightful
music for their entertainment, while
thousands of gayly attired ladies, son )
and daughters of veterans throng the
huge park daily.
At this mornings business session
of the veterans organization practi-
cally all of the standing committees
presented reports, embracing chiefly
routine matters, and of little general
Importance. When these had been re-
ceived, the veterans attended in a
body the joint memorial exercises ar
ranged by the Memorial association
and associated organizations, the hero
ism and exalted patriotism of South
ern troops being eulogized by numer
GUS speakers.
This afternoon will be held the an
nual Floral Parade, always consider
ed chief feature of the reunion.
Automobiles and other vehicles suffi-
cient to constitute a parade two or
miles in length, have been profusely
decorated and will form the monster
pageant. Preparation have been COM
pleted for seating great throngs OF
veterans and visitors who will crowd
the business and residence sections of
Richmond during the hours of the par
rade.
Notwithstanding efforts to have this
officially declared the last of the ma
tional reunions, efforts to land next
years gathering are in evidence, and
delegates from Birmingham, Ala, and
Dallas, Tex, are exerting energetic
endeavors to land the coveted honor.
Birmingham boosters are here in force
and have strong argument to offer
the veterans, while Dallas, which en-
tertained the reunion several years ago
will also make a hard fight.
