Denial of Starvation.

The denial as to anarchistic and star
walton conditions was signed by F.liseo
Arredondo. head of the constitutionalist
agency, and said:
MY government instructs me to deny
that anarchy RACES in any portion Of
Mexico. 1t instructs me to deny the al
legation that starvation stalks In any
part of the republic and that, as is al
legged in dispatches 'MeXicans are dying
by hundreds from hunger. 1t lnstructs
me TO brand as unqualifiedly false and
likewise malicious the statement that
the constitutionalist government is ex-
porting articles of prime necessity out
OF Mexican ports when there is at the
same time a serious need for these
very supplies in nearby cities and
towns of the republic.
My government directs me to explain
that the efforts of the reactionaries are
backed by diplomatic and consular rep
resentatives of foreign countries in
Mexico. who are sending to the Amer
ican State Department false informa-
tion with regard to the conditions pre-
vailing in Mexico.
Enforcing His Authority.
"My government further directs me
to publish that reports spread by the
enemies of the constitutionalist cause
are entirely false. inasmuch as the first
chief enforces his authority and is or
ganizing the civil government in all
the territory into which his control Is
extending; that while 1t is true that
there Is some scarcity of cereals in
some parts of the country. and there is
a abundance of them at other parts, this
is due to the lack of quick ways of
communication, but the first chief is
making every possible effort to i'm
prove the railway service in order that
the above cereals may be carried to the
places where they are needed. it being
a absolutely false that the inhabitants of
cities dying of hunger. I am fur
ther instructed by my government to
deny the report that the constitutional
ist government is exporting or permit
ting the expectation of articles of
prime necessity, as those stored in
Vera Cruz are to be sent to Yucatan
and other places where they are needed,
and is permitting only the expectation
of articles the production of which ex-
ceeds the demand and which are not Of
prime necessity, such as cocoa and cof-
fee. and as an exception small amounts
of lima beans and oats are exported"

A remarkable feature of the race
was it's freedom from injuries to driv

The speed of the board track was said

Obstacle to Diplomacy.

The chief obstacle that American
diplomacy must overcome. it is pointed
out, is presented in the ten-year con-
sular convention signed between this
country and Sweden in 1910. Within
this time the United States is bound to
respect the privileges and rights of
Swedish consuls and Swedish ship
masters as outlined in the pact. Uni
less Sweden yields her rights. which
is doubted in diplomatic quarters here,
all the other powers whose treaty re-
lations with this country are protect
ed by the favored nation clause can
claim the same treatment rs thai a.
sured by the Swedish convention.
The United States government has
indicated that it does not wish the re-
mainder of the treaties to become void.
as they naturally would under these
conditions

NEW SEAMEN'S LAW
MAY CAUSE PROTEST
Representatives of Some Powers Say
Their Governments Will
Not Agree.

The United States may face a gen.
eral protest from foreign governments
whose treaties with this country are
contravened by the new seamen's law.
according to the belief expressed here
by some European diplomats.
The notification that sections OF
treaties conflicting with the new law
would be nullified at the expiration OF
the required time, one year. has
brought no official answer to the State
Department thus far, but representa-
tives of several important powers have
indicated that their governments Will
not agree. They claim that their view
point is sustained by the general prin-
ciples of international law governing
the rights of citizens on ships under
their own flag.

RESTA IS WINNER
OF BIG AUTO RACE
AVERAGES 97.6 Miles an Hour
in 5OO-MiIe Grind on New
Chicago Track.
ALL FIRST TEN BETTER
FORMER WORLD RECORD
Victor Captures More Than $40, 900.
Grant, Finishing Fourth, Drives
Entire Race Without Stop.

CHICAGO, June 26.-AlI competitive
speedway automobile records OF the
world from so miles TO 500 were shat
tered in the running of the hrst Cni-
cago 5O0-mile Derby. They We're not
only beaten by Dario Resta. who won
with a french car, and captured more
than $50, 300 in prize money, but by the
nine other drivers who finished in the
money.
The previous record, made by Ralph
de Palma at Indianapolis recently. was
at the rate of s9.S4 miles an hour.
Resta averaged 97.6 over the same dis
tance. and J. Cooper, who finished tenth,
bettered the de Palma mark. averaging
90.3 miles.
Fastest Track in the U. S.
The result. according to experts. es-
tablishes the reputation of the new
wooden track as the fastest in the
United States if not in the world. 1t
was announced that despite the threat
ening weather early in the day 10000
persons witnessed the spectacle.
The performance of the veteran Har-
ry Grant in driving the entire race
without a stop excited almost as much
enthusiasm as the brilliant victory Of
ReSta
Grant never hesitated during the en-
tire 5oo-lnile grind. although his aver
age speed. which landed him in fourth
position. was 1906 miles an hour. The
previous nonstop record in competi-
tion 305 miles.
Twenty cars started and eight
dropped out in the course of the grind.
J. Cooper the last of the ten drivers to
finish. was but 25 minutes seconds
behind the victor.

that waged by Germany against the
Belgian fortificatlons.
On the remainder of the front the
conflict is assuming the character of
the struggle from trench to trench,
which is raging on the Franco Belgian
front.
10000 Germans Fighting.
Thirty thousand German troops from
Mecklenburg, withdrawn from the Ar
ras region. are said to be operating on
the Italian front. The Italians had
their first encounter with these troops
June % in a fierce fight among the
high peaks near Feltre. IN Cadore. The
Germans Withdrew, leaving forty-one
dead and four prisoners. All were in
German uniform.
A correspondent writing from the
frontier says that at Monte Nero. a
ridge across the Isonzo river. the Ttal-
ian troops could not discover whence
frequent shots came into certain
point in their lines. Two 05-mili-
meter guns would fire. and then moth
ing more would be heard from that
particular point. a short time after
ward from another point would come
similar shots.
Subterfuge Discovered.
Firing from both points now has
been silenced. and it has been found
that the Austrians had dug tunnels. in
which they laid tracks SO that the
guns could be raised from point to
point At other places it was found
that both batteries had been placed on
platforms with men of straw beside
the cannon barrels. At these places
small mines were lighted to produce
smoke and facilitate the deception OK
the italians, who. however soon dis
covered the Subterfuge.
A great difficulty which the Italians
along this front have had to contend
with has been the presence OF spies.
That spies really were working along
the Italian lines was considered proved
by the way in which the Austrians d.
rected their shell fire. One man who
had been taken prisoner pretended to
be an idiot and was allowed to move
about as he pleased. One day he was
seen in a tree top waving his hand
kerchief. The signal. for such It was
believed to be, was followed imme-
diately by a shower of Austrian shells
Told How to Invade Italy.
Handbooks giving instructions on
how to invade Italy through the valley
of the River Pc. thus reaching Verona,
Mantua and Ferrara, cutting of Venice
from the remainder of the kingdom,
have been found in the possession of
austrian OINCeTS VINO nave DeSn taken
prisoners. These booklets. apparently,
were compiled by an officer Of the Aus
trian general staff.
The Po. the largest river in Italy.
which irrigates the entire plain OF
Piedmont and Lonbardy, rises in
Monte Viso and follows very tortuous
course to the Adriatic. which it enters
by several mouths. Its nearest approach
to Austrian territory is at a point
south of Lake Garda, where it is about
sixty miles from the Trentino border.

that many opportunities for American
goods did exist in the countries to the

He compared the size of the several
countries which he named and the
amount of goods imported each year

that Russia alone was more than equal

Then, there Is Ora Sntal, billed as

or course, the appearance OF the
dancer is an added attraction, and
the Monte Carlo management per
haps can't be held responsible for
It.
Outside o fthess two features. the
show Is far above the average.
Harry Welsh, as Hebrew come

and engaging in violent argument
At one and the same time He can
also slide backwards, and go
through the motions OF walking for
wards. while he's sliding Welsh has
more individual laugh-producing
stunts than any ether comedian
