SENDS BATTERY TO
MEXICAN BORDER
WAR DEPARTMENT ORDERS Ar.
,TlLLERY FROM FORT SILL
OKLA, TO FL PASO, TEX.
READY TO RESTORE ORDER
Unusual Activity In Washington Re.
garded as Part Of Administra-
tons Determination to be Pre-
pared for Any Eventually.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Unusual actfv-
fly in the war and navy departments
was evident and an order from General
Scott. chief of staff. directing a bat
terry of the Fifth field artillery to pro-
coed from Fort Sill, Okla, to Ell Paso,
Texas. aroused considerable surprise.
At the war department it was stat
ed the artillery was ordered at the re-
quest of the state department. Sec
rotary Lansing said he knew nothing
about it. Other department officials,
however, said the action was prompted
by a desire to have the Mexican Dor
der we'll guarded, particularly in view
Of recent uprisings at different points.
Plans for the conference at the state
department on the Mexican problem
were completed after Secretary Ian
sing had talked to President Wilson at
Cornish, N. H.. over the telephone.
Proposals that are 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 Lansing maintained 81
lence as to the program outlined
Mr.. Lansing conferred with Paul
Fuller, one of the Presidents advisors
on Mexican affairs, who will partici-
pate in the conference. Mr.. Fuller
recently talked personally with all of
the faction leaders in Mexico, observ.
Ing the situation for the President.
No official information concerning
the reported bombardment of the Mex
lean border town of Nogales was re-
ceived. General Carranza had assured
the state department he would not per.
nit the attack and officials were at
loss to explain the reported action of
General Gales, Carranza command
er, whose guns were said to have op-
ened fire on the town.
Funston Ordered to Fire.
General Funston, commanding all
the border troops, has standing orders
to reply to the fire of the Mexicans If
bullets fall in United States territory.
Officials believe he would act promptly
If necessary to protect American lives
and property. Army officers said a gen.
eral assault on the Mexican town could
not avoid endangering those on the
American side of the border. Even
should General Funston be compelled
to open fire. it was stated, plans for
the conference would be carried out.
The ordering of fresh troops to the
border generally was regarded as part
Of the Administrations determination
to be prepared for any eventuality in
Its determination to restore order in
Mexico. Ell Paso, it was asserted, had
been without battery of artillery for
Beveral months and it was deemed
wise to strengthen the forces at that
important border point.

unsatisfactory, Germany invites the
United States to arbitration at The
Hague.
The unofficial view here is that rep
aration by a commission Of experts
probably will be satisfactory to the
United States, with the express pro.
vision, however, that it is not waiv.
er of treaty rights for which the
American government contends, but
applies only to the matter of dam
ages.
It is practically certain that If the
United States allows the dispute to
90 to The Hague for Interpretation Of
the treaty provision or continues the
academic discussion of principles
through the channel Of diplomacy, it
will insist that meanwhile Germany
refrain from violation Of what the
United States coztends are it's rights.
Dispute About Treaty.
The entire dispute revolves about
Article Thirteen Of the Prussian-
American treaty Il 1899, which was
reviewed, and included in the treaty
Of 1928. That article, the United
States contends, specifically protect
cd the William P. Frye from being
sunk, although it did not protect q
contraband cargo.
Germany takes precisely an oppo-
site view. contending that the article
only obligates her to pay damages.
Furthermore, Germany replies that
as the Frye's cargo Of wheat, des-
tined to England, was contraband.
the ship was liable to confiscation and
that as an attempt to take the prize
into a German port would have i'm
periled her captor, the destruction Of
the Frye was according to general
principles of international law"

CORN YIELD FALLS SHORT
This Years Crop Is Only go Per Cent
of 1914 Crop-VeterInarian
Warns Stockmen.

Wisconsin's 1915 corn
crop is only so per cent of the 1914
crop. The 1914 yield was about TO-
100000 bushels, while the 1915 crop is
about 42,0OO,OOO bushels
But the shortage is not the only bad
feature of the crop. Breeders and stock
owners must be careful in feeding this
years crop. State Veterinarian o. H.
Eliason has sent out the following
warning to stockmen:
Farmers should be careful in the
feeding of this years corn and corn
stalks. Veterinarians are reporting
considerable difficulty with horses af-
fected with stomach staggers' as the
result of feeding corn and corn stalks
designated 'staggers' because of de-
lirium or sleepy symptoms resulting
from the poison produced. The same
condition is reported from other states.
''If corn is fed it should be fed very
carefully. If it is mouldy it should not
be fed to horses, as it will inevitably
bring trouble to the owner The situa-
ton is not easily COPIED with by veter-
inarians, and the patient generally sue
cumbs to the disease If relief is to be
had it must be early and energetic"

wheat in terminal elevators at Fort
William and Port Arthur. some TO-

request of the British government

in eastern terminals. The object of
the seizures was to stop speculative
price fixing.
