cARRANzA CHIEFS DEFYU. S.


Washington.-A threat OF war In
case Of political or armed" ~interven-
ton by the United States was re-
ceived in Washington Aug. Is from
Gen. Pablo Gonzales, one Of Carranxa's
strongest military leaders. 1t was
given out by the Carranza agency
Presumably the declaration follow
ed the receipt of the appeal OF the
Pan-American conference for q peace
full settlement Of Mxico's affairs.
State Department officials, therefore,
are inclined to accept it as indicating
defiance and relentless opposition to
the peace plan.
The dispatch was sent by Jesus
Acuna, minister Of foreign relations
in Carranza's cabinet. It follows in
part:
Before q gathering of newspaper
men last night Gen. Pablo Gonzales
made q little talk. In it he said: I
believe that before long the constitu-
tiona1 government OF Mexico will be
recognized by the United States and
by the South American countries as
well. Armed Intervention in the at
lars VI VuSAlCO IS q COuulllOH WuICu
I believe to be impossible. 1t would,
however, if such a remarkable cir
cumstance arose. be my duty and my
disposition to uphold the policy Of the
first chief and to go to war if neces-
cary without hesitation. believe
this is the stand the Mexican people
would take"
War Department officials find in
their reports Of Aug. Is from along
the border that the conditions there
are full of constant menace to the
peace Of the United States and Mex
leo. The kilograms from Gen. Fun
ston, in command on the border. show
that there is a general dread that in
furiated Mexican factions may at any
time cross the border in force with a
deliberate purpose of having a his
tory-making fight with the American
troops,

London.-Kovno, one of the crucial
points In the Russian defensive In the
north. was captured by the Germans
On the night of Aug. IT, and the road
to Wilma, Warsaw and Petrograd rail-
way is now open to Emperor Williams
troops. The capture Of the fortress
was another triumph for the German
16inch guns, which nave been brought
against no Notifications they could not
subdue.
With the fortress of Kovno the Ger
mans have taken more than 400 guns,
and according to their account an
enormous quantity of war material.
This, however, is not the most serf-
Gus part Of the matter to the Russians.
Besides opening the way to Wilma,
which Is an open town, from which
most Of the inhabitants have departed
and from which everything that might
be of use to the invaders has been re-
moved, the fall of the fortress takes
away the last protection, except the
Russian field army, to the main line
railway to Petrograd, and also places
the Germans in a position to threaten
the TANKS of the Russian armies re-
firing to the Brest-Litovsk line and
those operating in Southern Courland.

Washington.-The State Department
has made public the reply Of the Unit
ed States rejecting views set forth by
the Austro-Hungarian government in
a recent note ~contending that expor-
tation of war munitions from America
to Austria's enemies was conducted
on such a scale as to be mot in con-
sonance with the definition of neutral
ity."
Though friendly, the note fatty de-
MES the Austro-Hungarian conten-
tons and recalls that that country
and Germany furnished munitions to
Great Britain during the Boer war.
when England's enmies could not i'm
port such supplies. It insists that the
United States is pursuing q strictly
neutral course and adhering to a prin.
ciple on which it would depend for
munitions in the markets of the world
if it should be attacked by q foreign
power.

BRITISH TRANSPORT SUNK


London-The sinking in the Aegean
Sea by . German submarine Of the
British transport Royal Edward with
heavy loss OF life has shattered the
British navy's proud tradition that it
had transported hundreds Of thousands
OF men across the sea without destruc-
ton Of n troopladen ship.
Two transports had been attacked
formerly. The Wayfarer was torpc-
doed in the Irish Sea, but the vessel
was not sunk and only five lives were
lost. The Manitou was attacked by .
Turkish torpedo boat in the Aegean
Sea and the ship was not damaged. al
though 81 lives were lost when q boat
spilled It's load into the sea
The loss Of the Royal Edward Is a
serious n at this moment. The men
it carried were re-enforcements Tor the
Gal1ipoli peninsula.
The tex OF the announcement fol
lows:
The British transport Royal Ed
ward was sunk by an enemy subma-
rine in the Aegean Sea IN the morn
ing Of Aug. IA. According to the infol
nation al present available, the trans
port had on board 80 military officers
and 1850 troops, in addition to the
ships crew Of 22O officers and men.
"The troops consisted mainly OF re-
endorsements for the Twenty-ninth di-
vision and details of the royal army
medical corps. Full information has
not yet been received, but it is known
that about 600 have been saved"

There have been several recent from
tier clashes between the Serbs and
Austrians, but nothing to indicate that
Servian territory has been invaded.
There is some speculation in mill
tary circles as to whether Roumania

o'clock on the night of Aug. 16 and
quickly got Leo NJ. Frank and rushed
him away in an automobile.
First reports that it might be friends
of Frank were dispelled when a .pris-
oner said he had heard a member Of
the mob say that Franks body would
be placed on the grave Of Mary Phagan
at Marietta. Frank was serving a
life term for the murder Of the girl.
The mob was orderly. but worked
with quick precision. Eight automobiles
took the men to within q short dis
lance OF the prison. First all wires
from the prison and all except one
from Milledgeville were cut.
Five men went to the house Of J.. +.

tolls and stood guard over him. Other
men went to the house Of J. NJ. Burke,

him under Of their guns.
Practically every other member OF
the mob then rushed the stockade gate
nearest the dormitory where Frank
was being housed. Only the day be
fore the physicians had discharged
him from the hospital. where he had
been since being murderously assault
ed in the dormitory.
Franks body was found at 8 O'Clock
on the morning Of Aug. II dangling
from a tree almost within sight of the
Phagan home at Marietta. The mob
had carried the doomed man over a
hundred miles and finished their work
before the break Of day.
Discovery of Franks body was made
by searchers from several cities, who
started out in automobiles after news
spread that Frank had been kidnapped
from the state prison farm. The body,
hanging from an oak tree, was found
clothed only in the silk shirt which
Frank wore when he was torn from a
bed in the prison dormitory. A white
handkerchief covered his face, his feet
and legs were firmly bound and under
his right jaw was the knot of the hang.

millions OF dollars in property. as re-
suit OF The terrific hurricane which
swept South Texas.
The city Of Galveston has probably
borne the brunt Of the great storm.
The first reports, received here Aug.
18, which were the first messages out
Of the stricken city in three days, tell
Of a heavy loss of life and an immense
property loss. The great e wall was
probably all that saved the city from
complete destruction.
A message sent out Of Galveston by
courier and received here Aug. Is, is
IS follows:
"Stormswept and battered, with a
loss Of only IA lives, Galveston today
emerged from one Of the most sever
storms known in the history OF the

break that most Of the resident section
of the city vas flooded.
Three fires ragged Monday night and
the fire loss was great.
Three bath houses and 400 resi-
dences on the bay front were crushed

cal hurricane which put Galveston

er cities and towns in dire peril. With
large sections Of the district yet un
heard from, the death list was more
than 100, the heaviest reported loss
being from Virginia Point, opposite
Galveston. The property damage may
exceed $780, 00, 900, with Galveston con
tributing half that amount.
