AMERICANS ARE FIRED ON
Two Fights Are Staged Between
United States Soldiers and Mex.
icans.-Mob Calls For Guns.

Brownsville, Texas.--American cav.
alrymen had two fights with Mexicans
across the Rio Grande Sept. II, one
here and one near Donna, about 60
miles up the river. In both clashes
the American soldiers were fired
upon, and returned the fire without
themselves suffering any casualties.
Ten American cavalrymen in the
Donna fight, which lasted two hours
and half, reported they were fired
upon by about 200 Mexicans, and be-
lieved that they had hit IL Mexicans.
Twenty U. S. cavalrymen fought on
the outskirts of Brownsville for half
an hour with Mexicons on the oppo-
site bank of the Rio Grande. None of
the Americans were hit. One Car
rama soldier was taken to a Mata-
moros hospital, probably fatally
wounded, but Carranza officers de-
MED emphatically that any of their
men joined in the fight. 1nvestiga-
tion was in progress to determine
who, besides Mexican soldiers, may
have mixed in the battle.
Col. A. p. Blocksom, the American
commander at Fort Brown, here, re-
ported to Maj.-Gen Funston at San
Antonio that the Mexicans started the
firing.
Immediately after the battle a small
mob formed in Matamoros, about the
headquarters of Gen. e. p. Nafarrate,
Carranza commander, shouting: Give
us guns" They had heard the rifle
shots and were angered by reports
that their people had been fired upon

Charge Davis of the American lega-

Syndicate of American Bankers viii
Receive Commission.-Not to Ex-

New York.-The proposed mammoth
credit loan to Great Britain and
France. it has been reported, is to be
underwritten by a syndicate of Ameri-
can siy,arciers and bankers who are
to receive commission for their serv-
ices. The securities offered, it was
said, will be British and French five
per cent government bonds, and the
price to the investor is to be par.
The amount of the loan, it was re-
ported, is as yet unestimated, but will
be between $6OO,OO0,OO0 and $SOO,O00,-
900. Whether war munitions will be
included within the scope of the cred
it has not been decided.
The underwriting syndicate, 1t was
reported. will be the largest of its
kind ever established in the United
States and probably will be open to
nearly all national banks, trust COM
panies and state banks that care to
participate.
While the amount of the commits

METHOD OF PIcKLING ONIONS
Writer Makes Some Suggestions
Which Seem to Be Worthy Of
Consideration.

Peeling the onions is decidedly pain
full task. but 1t is made less so If they
are done in cold water. Some people
even put them in boiling water and
allow them to come to the boil before
peeling them. I prefer the former
plan. With small silver picking onions
to each quart OF vinegar allow two
tablespoonfuls of black peppercorns,
two teaspoonfuls of allspice. two level
teaspoonfuls of salt, two bay leaves.
Remove the outer skin with silver
knife; II steel one is used the onions
will turn black. II liked, peel them in
a basin of cold water. for, besides
making the operation less painful, 1t
helps to whiten them by removing
some Of the essential oil. Dry them
lightly In a cloth. Put the vinegar,
spices and bay leaves in a saucepan,

favored. and let it get cold. Put tho

PEACH DAINTIEs OF MERIT
Many Ways Of Preparing Fruit Which
All Appreciate for Its Per-
feet Flavor.

For peach cobbler, prepare plain
pastry from three pints of flour and
three-fourths of pound of mixed lard
and butter. Line the baking dish with
this and pour in two quarts of freshly
stewed peaches, covering the dish with
pastry lid, pierced here and there to
let out steam. Bake until brown and
then cover thickly with powdered
sugar and serve steaming hot with rich
cream.
Here is another peach pie recipe:'
Bake rich pastry crust until brown
and crisp and then cool. Just at serv-
Ing time heap it high with sliced
peaches, sprinkle with sugar and pile
whipped cream on top. A variation
OF this recipe is this: Cut short pastry
into squares and fold the four corners
to the center. Moisten them with
milk. press them down SO that they
VIII remain in place, prick the pastry
with fork and bake one square for
each person. Brown in the oven, chill
and serve piled high with peaches cut

Esteem state Health Board.

The Mississippi State Board Of
Health is held in very high esteem by
the public health department at the
national capital. Recent Investigations
have disclosed the fact that the Mis-
sissippi State Board of Health is about
the only one making thorough and
painstaking report on diseases discos-
cred. The investigation was brought
about on account of Mississippi report
ing so many more pellagra cases than
the other Southern States. 1t now de-
velops that we really have less of such
cases than the other Southern States,
and that failure to report all cases
found accounts for Mississippi figures
running ahead of the others.
Pellagra is being treated very sue
cessfully and cures are reported daily,
simply by balancing the diet, but in a
disease so easily prevented there is
great opportunity for individual anS

ORDERED OUT OF MEXICO
England and France Join U. s. and
Notify consuIs and Subjects to
Leave.-Means Property Loss.

Washington. Great Britain and
France have followed the lead of the
United States and have taken steps to
get tLeir' subjects and conslfs out OF
the northern part of Mexico.
The gravity of the situation is ad-
mitted. Fear is entertained that Amer
ican, British and French citizens will
come to harm and that their vast prop
erty holdings will be despoiled in the
disturbances which are expected to at
tend the fighting between Villa and the
Carranza forces.
The French ambassador, M. Jusser-
and, and Colville Barclay, the chancel-
lor OF the British embassy, called at
the State Department to discuss the
outlook. Afterwards it was learned
that Great Britain has instructed her
consuls and trade agents to advise with
American officials In Mexico and to
use their discretion about warning
British subjects to leave and about the
advisability of taking their own depart
ure. France has taken similar action
Both England and France. it is un-
derstood, are deeply concerned over
the probable fate that awaits the prop
erty of their subjects.
1t was estimated by officials of the
State Department that about 1000
American citizens are affected by the
order to leave the country. 1t was also
suggested that If these citizens should
obey the orders of the State Depart
ment, property worth at least $780,
100000 would be left to the mercy of
bandits and brigands.
The State Department furnishes no
plan by which this property may be
protected.

Washington.-The action of Secre

diplomats in New York is accepted in

recognition of Carranza within a rea
sonably short time. The statement OF

which of the contending forces shall

selves have been abandoned.
Within the three weeks Carranza
and Villa are expected to develop their
maximum strength. CarranZa, in the
judgment of the majority of the mem
bers of the conference, will then be
able to show that he controls the
greater portion of the republic and is
in position to protect both nationals
and foreigners, secure their property
rights and keep the pledges he is pre-
pared to make concerning the rela-
tions of Mexico toward foreign gov
ernments and their citizens and sub
jects.
Although the official announcement
of the conference makes no reference
to the fact, it is understood here that
arrangements already have been made
for Carranza's representatives to ap-
pear before the Oct. 8 meeting and
the same time representatives of Villa
also will be permitted to submit what
ever matters they may deem to be OF
service to the conference in reaching
its conclusions.

London.-The Germans have occu.
pied Wilma and, by wide sweeping
movement north of that city, have al
most, If not entirely, surrounded a
part of the Russian army fighting in
the railway triangle between Wilma,
Ida and Vileika.

tion, for the only railway left entirely
in their hands is that running from
Wilma to Ida and thence to Barano-

Won Hindenburg's army. which took
Wilma and has reached Vileika, east of
Wilma, is working in close cooperation
with that of Archduke Leopold of Ba-
varia in an effort to catch a part of
the Russian army, an operation often
tried without success since the Aus
tro-Germans commenced their drive
in early May.
The Russians express confidence in
the outcome of the battle, but with
their northern armies, closely held
along the Dvina, and the German flank
well protected by their cavalry, which
recently occupied Widsy, across the
Vilna-Petrograd railway, it seems i'm
possible that any aid can come to them
from that direction.
The battle seemingly must be fought
out between troops now in the dis
trict between Wilma, Ida and Slonim,
with the assistance of any reinforce
ments that can be spared to hold the
German force that has reached Vileika.

action of physicians, who soon reached

means for the final settlement of the

Some weight is given to the sugges

leave him free to become a candidate
for the regular term. 1nasmuch az
the provisional president cannot be a
candidate to succeed himself, there
there has been some speculation as to
what Carranza intends to do, it being
assumed that he would rather be pres.
ident for a full term than for only a
few months.
Obregon is the chief military reli,
ance of Carrapza, and it is no secret
that the administration would prefer
him to Carranza. Some weeks ago,
however, when there was talk of a
break between the two, Obregon an
nounced that under no circumstances
