Washington, Aug. 4.-Plans for
tomorrow's conference at the State
Department on the Mexican problem
were completed today after Secretary
Lansing had talked to resident
Wilson at Cornish, N. H., over the
telephone. Proposals to be made to
the six Latin-American diplomats
whose governments have authorized
them to cooperate with the United
States to end Mexico's civil war,
were discussed, but Secretary Lam
sing maintained silence as to the
program. 1
Mr.. Lansing conferred with Paul
Fuller, one of the presidents con-
fidential advisers on Mexican affairs,
who will participate in the confer
ence. Mr. Fuller recently talked per-
sonally with all of the faction lead
ers in Mexico.
Unusual activity in the war and
navy departments was evident aoday

the War Department. it was said the
artillery was ordered at the request
Of the State Department. Officials
there said the action was prompted
by desire to have the Mexican Dor
der we'll guarded in view of recent
uprisings.
The order of fresh troop to the
border generally was regarded as a
part of the administrations deter
mination to be prepared for any
eventuality in It's determination to
restore order. Ell Paso, it was as
serted. had been without a battery
OF artillery for several months, and
1t was deemed wise to strengthen the
forces.
Although administration officials
have given no hint of what is to fol-
low the conference, the army and
navy have been preparing for any
service they may be called on to rem
der.
The first step to be proposed to-
morrow will be the issuance of q
final appeal to Mexican leaders to
join in peace conference. That

-FOUR PARISHES UNDER BAN

Embargo ON shipment Of Hides
From Cameron, Calcasieu, st.

To prevent an epidemic of char

ana State Board of Health, through
its president, Dr. Oscar Bowling,
Tuesday morning placed an embargo
on the shipment of hides from
Cameron. Calcasieu, st. Mary and
Vermillion parishes. st..s
The action of the State Board is q
result of many complaints that have
come to that office to the effect that
shipments Of hides from animals dy-
ing from Charlton are being made.
Notices were sent to all trans
portation companies operating in
Louisiana warning them against re-
ceiving any hide or hides from points
within the four parishes, or outside
thereof, unless the hides have at
tached q certificate from the parish
health officer, the municipal health
officer, or a reputable veterinarian
recognized by the Louisiana State
Live Stock Board, showing that the
animal or animals from which they
we're taken did not die from char

BUSINESS is AIDED BY FAST
CROWN IMPORTS OF PORTS.
July Estimate Indicates Increase
When High Marks Are
Least Expected.
By Paul WOoton,

Washington, Aug. 2.-Rapidly in
[creasing imports are stimulating
business in the port cities of the
country. A July estimate made from
incomplete returns at the Depart
ment of Commerce today indicates
that the month will exceed that Of
any other July in the history OF
American commerce. New Orleans
il receiving its share Of this influx OF
foreign products.
Port cities suffered especially for
several months after the outbreak Of
the war due to the decrease in i'm
ports. It was feared that the i'm
ports would be low throughout the
duration of the struggle. Figures for
the first seven months Of 1915 show
that these fears wer egroundless. In
June the imports were 100000 in
excess of those of the corresponding
month Of 1914.
The imports Of June of last year
also broke all previous records. They
even went ahead of the boom year
of 1906, when most records went to
smash. With this year making new
high marks, when it was least ex-
pected, indicates q degree Of pros
perity that exceeds the realization of
the majority. With our credits
mounting higher and higher abroad
other countries have been forced to
pay off as much Of the obligation as
possible with their goods. This tide
is more likely to increase than to de-
crease. according to the experts at
the Department Of Commerce.
One Of the remarkable features of
the volume Of imports is the fact that
Germany, Russia and Austria, three
heavy contributors previously, have
shipped practically nothing during
the past seven months.

TICK CATTLE BRING LOW PRICES

1ul6Stcu StAt0S, NOILu ana South <
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, MissiS-
sipi, Florida. Louisiana, Arkansas.
Oklahoma and Texas, the general Az.
erage is $3.50 for the remainder
of the country it is $48.47. In con-
sidering these figures it must b
borne in mind that many Of thu
states in the tick country have sue
ceeded n freeing large areas from the
pest. Otherwise the differences IN
valus undoubtedly would be much
greater. A great deal Of North and
South Carolina, TO rinstance, ies
free from ticks as Ohio and IndiapS
Oklahoma also has grappled SO Wig
orously with the pest and has cleaned
so niue hof its territory that the ay-
erage value for cattle has risen to
$42 head. In Florida, on the other
hand, where NO systematic work has
as yet been done, the average is SIS.
Ely WhLetaoin shrd eta sh retaonn
One reason for the low average
value of Southern cattle is unques-
tionably the disastrous effect of the
tick upon all attempts to improve the
breed. Pure-bred stock imported for
breeding purposes are exposed to
such danger of death from. tick fever
that It is not sound business to in
curt the risk. Producers are, there
fore, compelled to do the best they
can with the native cattle, which
have acquired a cerain degree of inn
munity. That there is. no profit in
scrubs is an old cattle raiser's maxim
and in this connection a comparison
Of average weights of beef cattle
may be interesting.
In Florida on January /, 1915, It
was $40 pounds; in Wyoming, 985:
in Idaho, 966; in Monana, 93S. In
Mississippi it was $50; in Alabama,
500; in Louisiana, All; in Georgia,
419. Outside Of the tick country,
Connecticut was the one state to fall
below 900 pounds.
There are, of course, cher factors
than the tick in the raising Of beef
in the South, but in view of these
figures, it is hard to escape from
the conclusion that wherever the tick
is, there the value cattle is low.
It follows, also, that the farmer
makes little effort to develop this
source Of profit-or what would be
. source Of profit under other cir
cumstnces. Not only does he him
