said, would further delay affirmative
action by the United States to restore
constitutional government in the war
torn republic.
Armed intervention is not believed
to be contemplated in the President IS
program. Many officials believe no
forcible measures will be required.
Persistent reports have reached here
that the faction leaders are inclined to
yield to the demands Of this govern
ment for a peace conference.
Reports are generally credited that
a message will be sent to the opposing
leaders giving them final chance to
cease hostilities within limited time
and assemble a conference to settle
their differences. Possibility of an
other failure to do so, in view Of the
last refusal Of General Carranza to joir
in conference with his adversaries,
is being considered by the President,
it is declared, in formulating plan OF
action.
Whether in that event general EN-
barge on arms expectations will be
imposed or American troops employed
to assure the transportation of food te
the starving people can not be predict.
ed. 1t is known, however, that the
army and navy have been preparing
and now are ready for any eventuality'
Secretary Lansing said that the rep
reservations sent to Generals Car
rama, Villa and Zapata urging that
routes to Mexico City be opened t.
provision trains, were forceful. Ths
message to Carranza, who controls ths
railroads from Vera Cruz, was partic
ularly emphatic. While not couchet
as a demand" that the railroad tt
Mexico City be opened and kept open
its purport was to that effect.
No answer from any Of the Mexican
generals had been received 1t wa
believed, however, that provision
trains would be moving to Mexico Cit.
within few days under guard Of Car
rama troops.
Officials were led to this belief b.

Now Located Here.

Mr.. Caleb C. Merritt, of Salem, Va,
who recently came in possession of the
property of his sister, Mrs. Ida M. Ship
ley, at Thurmont, has moved to the
dwelling used by Mrs. Shipley as her
summer home. We understand Mr.. Mer-
ritt will make many improvements both
to the dwelling and the property.
This property which is spoken of as
the 800 acre farm" in the papers
throughout the State consists principally
of mountain land well set in young tim
ber, there being probably less than 100
acres which can be farmed. The stock
on this 800 acre farm" consisted of one
horse well advanced in years.
AS many people know, this home is
beautifully situated at the foot of Chin
ney Rock mountain, and from the porches
a..view overlooking Thurmont and the
valley to the east is to be had. There is
plenty of pure spring water issuing from
the hillside and shade in abundance for
those who might wish to spend vaca-
tion in this locality.

Thurmont IA; Emmitsb'g l..
Local Club Outplays Visitors
In First Game of Series.

For some time past a series of seven
games of ball between Emmitsburg and
Thurmont baseball teams has been ar
ranged, but due to the fact that several
of the local players have been disabled,
the opening game has been delayed.
Tuesday, however, the first game was
played at Thurmont, the result being a
severe defeat for the visitors. That the
local club won came as surprise to
many of our local rooters and took much
of the puff out of the large crowd of
Emmtsburg fans who came here to root
for their team.
In the first inning the visitors scored 2
runs on errors. Stokes famed the first
man up, but followed with passed ball
third strickland then walk, the To-
cal club scoring on a long drive to left.
Neither side scored in the second.
Third Visitors failed to score, while
Thurmont pushed three runs across.
In the fourth the locals failed to gain,
but Amman hit for homer and scored
Rosenstee. Score A.
Fifth-Visitors failed to score. Ros-
ensteel, who relieved Stokes in the fourth,
was found easy, three singles and doub-
le being made by the locals, netting them
three runs.
Sixth-A homer by Rosensteel, passed
ball. wild throw to first and hit netted
Emmitsburg two runs while a passed
ball-third strickland two hits added
two more for the home team.
Seventh-In this session the visit ors
added one more run to their list. With
Rosensteel in the box, Kelbaugh hit safe,
Root followed and hit the ball, r. Cree
ger hit safe. Kelbaugh out at second.
With all bases occupied Ed. Creeger hit
for three bagger and scored three runs.
Rosensteel was relieved by Amman who
gave Freeze base on balls. Damuth
and Billingslea went out at first. Score
i2-7.
Eighth-A single, walk and two doub-
les netted the home club two more runs.
The visitors failed to score in this and
also in the ninth inning.
Root pitched a steady game, having 8
strikeouts to his credit. and but for err
rors the score would have been very small.
Mr.. w. C. Brennaman did the umpir-
ing, the first in his life, and gave some
bad decisions, the worst being against
the club of which he manager, but did
what he thought was right according as
he saw the plays.

Huckster Loses Eggs.
Five Cases Disappear During
Night.

Night.
A very bold robbery was committed in
this place last Thursday night, when Mr..
Ross Eyer, huckster, was relieved OF
five cases, or $50 dozen of eggs.
The eggs represented portion of the
days gathering and were taken. from the
storage building on Mr.. Eyler's premises.
The building is close along Boundary
avenue and the Western Maryland Rail-
road, entrance being gained by smashing
pane of glass and removing the entire
window.
Through this window the crates were
loaded onto wagon of some kind. The
vehicle was tracked up the mountain road
by Mr.. Eyler and Constable Clarence W.
Lidie to Blue Ridge Summit, but moth
ing further has been learned as to where
the team or eggs finally stopped. This
is the biggest haul made in this vicinity
for some years.
Through the columns of the Waynes-
boro and Gettysburg papers many cases
of thieying are reported. Just recently
huckste in Waynesboro was robbed OF
eight cases of eggs. Tracks in this in
stance were traced to the mountain.
Chickens also attract the attention OF
the thieves and are being stolen by the
hundreds in the section between Waynes-
boro, Gettysburg and Blue Ridge Summit.
The mountain resorts which are now
in full swing no doubt furnish a good
market for this class of goods.
The Pen. Mar Cannery building located
along the W. M. Ry. at Thurmont and
owned by Mr.. Chas M. Root, is perhaps
entered oftener by thieves than any other
building along the railroad. Almost
every week some person breaks into this
building and carries something away.
Most all couplings, valves, betting, tools,
and other things movable have disappear
ed and little now remains in the building.
The building was entered last week and
the week previous. Mr.. Root nails up
the place through which the persons gair
entrance and in this way knows how often
or when some one has been in the struc-
ture. He places his loss at about $500
to date.
