ASK AMERICANS TO LEAVE;
TROUBLE If TROOPS LAND
Mexicans Promise Protection for Amy
Who Refuse to Leave the
Yaqui Valley.

Admiral Howard sent by wireless
to the navy department late Tues
day a statement presented to him by
the Mexican military commandant at
Guaymas, suggesting that Americans
leave the Yaqui valley, but promis-
ing to protect them if they remain
ed, or to escort them if they depart
ed. The commandant said land
ing of American marines would be
likely to "cause Americans trouble
all along the coast"
The following official statement
was made public at the navy depart
ment: Admiral Howard has for
warded to the navy department the
following statement presented him by
Gen. Leyva, military commandant,
Guaymas, Mexico on board the Col
orado Monday:
Whereas, Americans were invit-
ed to exploit Yaqui valley, there then
existed no revolution and adequate
garrisons were established along
Yaqui valley and Indians were held
in subsection, but now, taking all
phases into consideration which re-
quire unusual demands upon the mill
tary, it would appear logical for the
few Americans who have remained
in Yaqui valley to depart and not
place their lives in jeopardy. rather
than plunge two friendly nations in
to disagreement. F.. -.
However, very guarantee will
| be given in an endeavor to AFFORD
| Americans in question ample protec-
ton, and if emergencies should re-
quire them to depart an adequate
escort will be furnished them. Fif-
teen hundred Mexican troops are
now available for this protection
and Gen. SoSa is now in the valley tC
command these troops.
And, whereas, that military com
mandant and his officer would un'
derstand that landing would be
made under only the most urgent
necessity, and only for the protec'
ton of American lives, yet the mass.
es might misinterpret the action ano
resent it, and undoubtedly some In.
| dians would Join their Indian broth
ers and furthermore such action
might cause Americans trouble along
| the coast.
The Carranza agency received
copies of an amnesty decree to al
common troopers, issued by Obre
gon with the approval Of Carranza
The decree recites that the common
troopers are irresponsible, because Of
their ignorance, for foreign enemies
of the Carranza cause and offers tc
each full guarantee and one hundred
pesos if he delivers his horse, arms
saddle and ammunition, and fft!
pesos if he only surrenders his arms
Such troopers also will have free
transportation to their homes ovel
the Carranza-controlled railways.
Reassuring adyices concerning thu
situation in the Yaqui valley came
| to the navy department Tuesda!
night from Admiral Howard a
I Guaynlas. The admiral's message
sent by wireless to San Diego, Cal.
from the cruiser Colorado, said:
"Have called upon Gen. LeyVa. He
states that two hundred troops have
been sent to the assistance of con
struction train and that he now ha'
telephone communication with the
valley and all is quiet"

Kinnaird Saves Cunarder

Denials of friction in the Car

Villa leaders were represented made
by the Mexican agencies in Wash

vailed in official quarters, however,
that the trouble between Gen. Obre-
gon and Gen. Carranza had not been
settled and that the departure of
Gen. Felipe Angeles from the camp
of Gen. Villa at that time was an
important military, if not political,
loss.

PRESIDENT TALKS TO NATION

In the following words President
Wilson addressed the people Of the
nation lately through several hun
bred representative business men at
tending the annual convention OF the
Chamber OF Commerce OF the United
States:
There is a shortage OF food in
the world now. That shortage
will be more serious a few
months from now than it is now.
it is necessary that we should
plant u great deal more, 1t is
necessary that our land should
Weld more per acre than it does
now. 1t is necessary that there
should not be a pillow or 4 spade
idle in this country If the world
is to be fed.
The above news dispatch is start
ling, but the progress of the European
war emphasizes its truth. The Ger.
ma government has already seized al
stores of foods in that country t.
guard against u possible shortage OF
supply for the troops. The lack OF
food in Belgium and Poland has pro.
duced a famine and the people are il
a starving condition. This will con.
tinue because the people will be un-
able to grow crops. England, France
and Russia are greatly increasing
their demands for food, Millions Of
farmers are now bearing arms. Thou
sands Of them will never return to the
blow. Millions OF acres OF Europe's
food-producing land will lie fallow il
1915 and probably for several years
thereafter, whether the wan stops Of
not. America has the land, the men,
the means to produce food for all tho
non-producing countries, provided We
force every acre OF land to maximum
food production.

They are telling a good story about
jerry" Bacon, the widely known
Grand Forks hotel man, breeder and
state politician, which we believe will
be read with quite a little interest by
the many people OF Langdon and vici-
nifty who met Senator Bacon when he
was here a short time ago to take
part in the Cavalier county farmers
three days convention. Here's the
story: Jerry Bacon, hotel owner,
bonanza farmer, politician and news
paper man from Grand Forks, was in
New York City not long ago hobnob-
bling with the great and the near
great. Jerry attracted considerable
attention unwittingly, despite the fact
that he cam from what our eastern
friends consider is still the Cow
country. A friend told those New
Workers a few things about the Grand
Forks mar who does things. why,
if you would start out at six O'Clock
in the morning with one of your east
ern blowing outfits, and keep on going
until shutdown, you'd just about com
plete the second furrow of Jerry's
farm. Why, that man does his thresh.
ing with electricity. His barns are
lighted with electricity. His dairy
barn is as clean and sanitary as many
Of your best hotels And then he
told them about Jerry's COWS. Jerry
promised to bring n of those cow:
down to little New York on his mex
trip and actually milk her before
breakfast in front of the Waldorf,
Those wise New Workers believe hin
and are watching and waiting fol

In the daily papers of the past day
or tWO we have noted that both Fargo
and Grand Forks have been making a
big noise about their banks and fine
line of bank deposits, this talk all
naturally arising from the appearance
of the call statements Of the banks
under date Of March 4. This tempts
US to remark that Langdon has three
banks that are making a little finer
record than the banks Of any similar
sized town in the state and we think
IT nothing more than boosting for the
town to let out a little zip and join in
the chorus Of the big noise dailie5.
The total deposits Of the three Lang
don bank as shown in the statements
published last week figure up to
1919, $50 3, touching up real close
to the million dollar mark. When you
stop to consider that Langdon is a
town Of less than 1900 with business
conducted along modest lines, and
practically nc industries, the showing
made IS certainly one that we can
boast aver and it is very doubtful in
our mind if there is another city in
the state Of North Dakota today which
under similar conditions can make
anywhere near as good-a showing.
