tunate incident. In due time the greater part of the American people also arrived at the understanding of the patriotism that had prompted Car. ranZa.
 After Carranza had established a government in the national capital he issued a call to all the military lead CTS and governors of States who had signed the plan of Guadalupe to meet In convention on October 1st; in Mexi- co City, for the purpose of drafting program of reforms and to name a date for the calling of general cleo tions.
 Villa, ever since his first break with Carranza, had been throwing obstacles in the way of a successful pacification of the country. In order to show bim that he harbOred no ill feelings Car ranza named Villa to go with General Oregon on a peace mission to settle a local strife in the State of Sonora. Villa in the course of these negotia- tions became so incensed at Obregon

Fortunately being restrained from this by subor- dinate officers. he highhandedly placed Obregon under arrest These events happened but a few days before the time that the Mexico City convention was to assemble
 When Carranza was informed of Villas unWarranted persecution of Obregon, he ordered the train service north of the City of Aguascalientes, some distance south of where Obre- gon was held by Villa. discontinued temporarily from Mexico City. until he could determine whether or not Villa intended his treatment of Obregon to presage a hostile military movement against Carranza.

 Villa sent a telegram to Carranza
 
 asking him to explain what he termed this hostile action against his division of the North. Carranza sent him the following reply; Before answering your message which have just re ceiyed desire an explanation of your conduct towards General Obregon in Chihuahua Instead of Villa giving the requested explanation to his su- perior officer he replied insolently that he would no longer recognize Carran- "a the First Chief of the Republic
 In explanation of th.S traitoroUs con duct Villa gave the ridiculous and pet tg reason that he had broken with Car. ranza and was Williu2 ,o plunge the country into a civil war, because Car. rauza did not have sufficient intelli. c2OCe or ability to govern Mexico How farcical this statement really was can ho best understood when it is ex- rlained that Villa can scarcely read or write and has never read single book in his life, whilst on the other and Carranza is a man of education, ,rlture and business experience

 Villa and his army of the North had refused to send delegates to this con vention. In last effort to settle the difficulty between the Division of the North and the remainder of the Con stitutiOnalist army, certain leaders among the Constituencies proposed that a commission be sent to treat with Villa and that the convention itself adjourn from Mexico City to Aguascalientes CarranZa, foreseeing, as afterwards came to pass, the futl- ity of this action, opposed it. but final ly allowed the delegates of their own volition to move to Aguascalientes to treat with the chiefs of the Northern Division

Atlanta, Ga. June 22.-State troops continue tonight to guard the subur- ban home of Governor Slaton, but quiet prevailed there and in the city after the demonstrations of yesterday and last night by people most bitterly opposed to the communication of Leo M Franks death sentence.

WHY JAPANESE TROOPS
 WERE NOT SENT TO EUROPE,
Dutch Newaoapers Say United States Was Opposed to Such Movement,

The Hague. Via London, June %, 10.40 p. n.-The HandelsbIad in it's ed ition of today asserts that Japan was prevented from sending three hundred thousand troops to Europe as the re- suit of an unofficial hint to Great Britain from Washington that such an expedition would be undesirable.
 The newspaper declares that a Jap anese army of that strength was land ed in Manchuria, where it was exer- acfsing preparatory to departure for the European batt1efld, but that Great Britain, after receiving the inti- mation from the United States, in formed Tokio that she was sorry, but under American pressure, must re- quest that the Japanese government do nothing more concerning the despatch of ar expeditionary corps to Europe
 "After this" the Hande1shlad con- cludes, ''t1le Japanese army disappear ed from Manchuria, probably much to the relief of Great Britain. which has never desired Japanese participation in the fighting in Europe"

 On GaIlipoi Peninsula.
 On the GalIipoIi peninsula heavy fighting has been progress. On June 19 a desperate engagement occurred along a Turkish trench and, later in the British lines, in which 1000 Turk ish dead were left on the ground. ac- cording to the British official state ment. Prior to this the Turks had thrown 450 high explosive shells on the left and center trenches of the allies, had repulsed a British brigade and had penetrated the British lines. But a well organized attack by their re- Inducements turned the tide of bat tie.
 Italians Suffer Reverses.
 From the Italian front, by way of Berlin, come reports of serious re- verses suffered by the Italians in their attempts to storm the Austrian posi- tions along the Isonzo river. The Aus trians have powerfully fortified the South TyroI front, and are said to be prepared in every way to repel an Italian attack along that line.
 Submarine More Considerate.
 For the first time since the begin ming of the submarine warfare, the commander of a German submarine has permitted a steamer carrying g foodstuffs to England to escape by jettisoning all foodstuffs on board. The Norwegian mail steamer Venus, which has arrived at Newcastle, was given the option of putting the greater part of her cargo overheard or being sent to the bottom and the captain chose the former course.
 The Spanish cabinet has resigned be- cause of the failure of a loan of $1J0 0O0,O 900 recently issued by the gov eTnment The failure of this loan, it is announced in Madrid, makes it inn possible to carry out the scheme for the reorganization of the army and navy.

CHARGED WITH MURDER
 OF THREE WOMEN
Londoner Mad Married Them-Bodies
 Were Found in Batktubs.


 London. June %. 9.45 D. m.-George Joseph Smith was placed on trial for his life in Old Bailey today. He is charged with the murder of three women, with all of whom he went through the marriage ceremony, and all of whom were found dead in bath tubs under almost identical circum- stances.
 The case has come to be known throughout the kingdom as the Brides in Bath case and promises to be the most sensational murder trial here since that of Dr. Crippen.
 The proceedings today consisted of the selection of a jury and the opening address of the prosecutor, who related the circumstances of the deaths of Smiths wives, Beatrice Mundy, Alice Burnham and Margaret Lofty
 Smith appeared unperturbed Not withstanding the interest in the case, the court was not crowded today, all though among the spectators were several prominent persOnages.
 The details of the brides deaths as related by Prosecutor Bod1in were identical with the evidence given at the preliminary hearing which was held in the Bow street court on March 29. and disclosed that Smith. under the name of John Lloyd, married Margaret Lofty at a registry office at Bath in December, 1914. The couple came to London the same day and the next morning the bride was found dead in her bath. A verdict of accidental death was returned.
 Later it was ascertained by the po- Nee that Lloyd was not the husbands name and he was arrested and identi- fled, according to the police, as George Joseph Smith, who in November, 1913, had married at Portsmouth, Alice Burnham. She had been found dead in her bath month after the cere- mony. His marriage to Beatrice Nun dy in July, 1912, was also traced.
 The prosecutor declared that the motive for the alleged murders was the greed for money which Smith would obtain from the insurance on the women's lives. In this way, said the prosecutor, Smith had obtained 2,S00 pounds (s14,000) and was in 8 fair way to obtain 700 pounds more when he was arrested.

 100000 Austro Germans.
 More than two million Austrians and Germans have been operating along the fronts almost encircling Lemberg, and with the Russians withdrawal be- hind the Grodek lines, the evacuation of Lemberg as a base was accom- plished. That the complete evacuation of Lemberg, without much resistance, is probable, is indicated by Petrograd despatches declaring that such a movement cannot be avoided without 8 sacrifice of men out of proportion to the strategic importance of the place.
 Russian Armies Separated.
 Latest advices from Austrian head quarters describing the Russian re- tfrement, assert that the two Russian armies, which for a long period were fighting with unbroken front, have been separated and cannot effect junction on the Galician side of the Russian frontier. The Russian bat tery commanders have been ordered to save their guns at all costs.

 I will simply say that I know of only three valid arguments against war There used to be a fourth but that is fast disappearing in the last fifteen years, especially since this war, and that is the argument that by making the machinery of war so terri ble that men would soon cease to fight But this war has shown that men are not afraid to die.
