Pan-Amcricans to Convene.


Washington, Sept. 8.-Another Pan
American conference on Mexico will
be held in Washington between now
and the middle of next week. An
nouncement to this effect was made
ut the state department by Secretary
Lansing following the publication Of
the fact that Ambassador Naon plans
to return to his country on leave OF
absence on Sept. Is.
What the conference will do when
1t assemblies, or whether it will take
any final action if Carranza's reply
to the Pan-American "get together"
appeal is not in by that time, was not
stated by Secretary Lansing. 1t was
said by other officials of the state de-
partment, however, that definite steps
would have been taken before this
but for the recurrence of crises in
connection with the controversy be-
tween this country and Germany on
the submarine question.
The situation along the Texas
border was reported quiet. Both Car
rama and Villa have protested their
innocence of any connection with the
border raids, laying the blame on out
laws operating from both sides of the
Rio Grande.
The war department made public
the following report made to Major
General Frederick Funston, com
mander of the American border

Guerilla Fighting Along Rio Grande.
Galveston, Tex, Sept. S.-While af-
fairs are considered quiet in the
border country, reports from various
towns in the disturbed section tell OF
the killing of more MeXicans and the
wounding of two Americans. Reports
Indicate that many MeXicans crossed
the river in isolated plNses, knowledge
of which only frontiersme1 and Mexi-
cans have. Most of the Mexicans
were armed and mounted.
At Savage, in the Mission district,
it is reported that forty Mexicans
wearing uniforms of Mexican soldiers
crossed the river. Below Savage, near
Run, citizens and bandits fought.
Reports of this fighting came by
courier, the village being several
miles from the railroad. 1t is report
sd that the bandits robbed the store
and postoffice at Run before the fight
ing began.
At Abram, another village south OF
Run, an engagement between peace
officers and Mexicans took place. The
Mexicans were driven across the river.

TRACTS CLEARED OF MALARIA
Gratifying Progress Has Been Made
by Those interested in Conquer
ing the Disease.

Malaria to which children are sus-
ceptible, has been made largely pre-
ventable disease by a study Of the
mosquito carrier, its breeding places
and natural history, and by inocula-
ton experiments on animals and man
1t was proved by Italian observers
that the mosquito dsseminates bird
malaria in the same manner as In the
human subject.
The final upshot OF these investiga-
lions has been that large tracts Of
hitherto waste and dangerous land
have been rendered safe and produC-
tive. \ widespread cause Of debilitat-
Ing sickness, and even Of death, has
thus been removed
In such areas the saddest sight has
been the stunted, anemiC children,
with enlarged Iivers and spleens, the
evidences Of chronic malarial poison
! ing, that can now be Obviated by put
ting modern knowledge into effect.
