Reply of Carranza to Villa
Overtures Awaited by
President Wilson. .s.A
HOPE FOR CONFERENCE
Order Preventing Southern
Troops Crossing Border
Rigidly Enforced.

Washington, D. c., June 15.-Presi-
dent Wilson told callers today that the
plans of the United States for dealing
with the Mexican situation were in
complete as yet, but that the situation
seemed to be taking shape. He had
before him General Carranza's procla-
nation and General Villas memoran-
dunn in answer to his recent statement
TO the factions that they must adjust
their differences or some other means
would be found by the United States
TO restore a government IN Mexico.
Mr. Wilson had not studied the docu-
ments IN detail. but indicated that he
intended to examine them closely.
General Carranza's reply to over
lures by General Villa for restoration
of peace in Mexico was awaited with
considerable interest in official circles
here today. On his response depends
the next move in the situation.
General villa already has formally
notified the American government that
he had asked for a conference with
Carranza with a view TO a settlement
of Mexico's domestic troubles. A copy
of Villas telegram to Carranza and his
reply to President Wilson's recent
statement calling on the heads of the
warning factions in Mexico to adjust
their differences are before admins
tration officials.
In his note the northern commander
refers appreciatively to President VIII
sons efforts TO restore peace and out
lines plans for reaching an under
standing with the Onstitutionalists
Not Digging Trenches.
Douglas. Ariz., June 15.-In a state
ment made public today Alfonso
Aguaya, Villa representative here.
said he had been requested by Gov
ernor Maytorena, villa commander OF
Sonora, TO deny reports that entrench-
ments were being dug at Nogales, fac
ing the American border. The order
preventing Mexican soldiers from
crossing the boundary line is rigidiy
enforced by the United States border
patrol.

Questions Connected With Secre-
tary's Decision.

ington correspondents today just
what the changes were to which for
mer Secretary Bryan referred as hav-
ing been made IN the recent American

ance TO justify him in asking permis-
sion to withdraw his resignation.

MIR. CANTERBURY DEAD.
A Former Citizen Of Audrain, Leav-

neer resident of Las Animas county,
died June End, at the home of his

NO CIRCUS THIS YEAR.
The Elephants Must Stay in--ThC
War and Foot and Mouth
Disease.

They tell us that the circus will not
come to Mexico this year.
The circus has received two hard
blows this year and daddy, uncle and
auntie may not have opportunity to
take Johnnie under the canvass to
see tigers, and such, in any of the
towns of the West.
War was the first setback the cir
Gus people experienced. Then came
the foot-and-mouth-dise among
live stock. Each at first had an in
direct result, but now the loss OF
foreign acrobats, animal trainers and
wild animals, together with the U. s.
Bureau of Animal Industry prescrib-
ing narrow zones in which a circus
may move for fear of carrying or
contracting the foot-and-mouth-d dis
ease have caused "lots" of trouble
for the three-ring show men.
AS evidence of this condition A. L.
Wilson, manager of the Baker &
Lockwood Tent & Awning Co. of
Kansas City says that the demand for
circus and concession tents has prac-
tically been suspended and he does
not expect it to resume until the Eur
pean war is ended and the United
States government officials pro-
nounce the country free of this foot
and mouth sdiease.
