THREE U. S. TROOPERS SHOT.
Mexicans Attack Small American
Force But Flee After Fight.

Brownsville, Tex, Sept. 15.-The
United States army in the lower Rio
Grande valley on Monday night went
on very near approach to wartime
military footing.
The cause was a carefully prepared
attack upon an army camp near the
Rio Grande by Mexicans, the first de-
liberate blow at the American army
here since the bandit raids began and
which cost the life of one American
soldier. Two others were wounded.
The fight, beginning at dawn, was
one of the nerviest actions of Ameri-
can soldiers in border records. Ten
soldiers started in the fight. Seven
were left in action at the end and one
of them was killed.
Two Mexicans were seen to pitch
forward on their faces in the fight,
but their comrades removed all the
Mexican wounded.
The ten Americans who participated
in the fight were all members of Troop
A, Twelfth cavalry. Private Anthony
Craft, Detroit, Mich, was killed.
Trumpeter Harsld B. Forney, Water
town, N. Y, was shot through the
abdomen and may die. Sergeant Walsh
was shot in the side.
The camp where the fight occurred
was in a grove about shed in a ranch.
The fight lasted 80 minutes. when
the Mexicans fed.

GERMANY TO KEEP FAITH
WITH THE UNITED STATES
Ambassador Count Won Bernstorff
Tells Lansing Liners viii Be
Warned, but Must Not Ram.

Washington, Sept. 15-With an
earnest desire manifested by Germany
to adjust the submarine question in a
manner satisfactory to the United
States, it looks as though the crisis
in the relations of the two countries
has passed.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, reiterated formally to
Secretary Lansing at the state depart
ment conference on Monday that his
government intended to carry out in
good faith the assurances given for
the security of life on belligerent
liners
He claimed that the note, with ref
erence to the Arabic, declared anew
the principles underlying these assur-
ances.
The ambassador made it clear to
the secretary of state that there was
no purpose on the part of his govern
ment to evade the spirit of the assur-
ances.
He asserted that the instructions
to submarine officers were specific in
requiring them not to attack without
warning OF course if a vessel sought
to escape or resisted different stu
alton would be created.
The ambassador is confident that an
adjustment of the difficulties that ex-
list will be reached.

said, there never will be a break be-

Majority of the Newspapers Declare
In Favor of Mcfarland.
Brighton Beach Motordrome, N. Y,
Sept 14.-Billy job, who refereed the
Mcfarland Gibbons bout, gave it as
his private opinion that the contest
was a draw. This must not be taken
in any way as an official decision, but
job, as one of the spectators, consid-
ers he has as much right as anyone to
express personal opinion. The ma
jority of the New York newspaper
critics said that Mcfarland won on
points.
Packey Mcfarland outpointed Mike
Gibbons before large house. Glib
bons' work was fast but futile against
Packey's infallible blocking, and in the
last three rounds Mike was beaten.
The stockyards boy took the first
round by shade on clean work.
Packey toyed with Gibbons in the
ninth and tenth rounds, laughing as
he blocked Mikes lead or ducked his
swings.

Berlin in Note to Gerard Dis
avoWs Attack on Liner.
SHIP DESTROYED BY MINE
Official Statement From Berlin Gov
eminent Says That No German
Submarine Was in Vicinity
at Time of Disaster.

Berlin, Sept 16.-"The German dec
laration that passenger ships will not
be torpedoed without warning unless
they try to escape when summoned to
stop, or offer resistance, holds good, T"
the foreign Office announced on Tues
day. thus confirming the statement re-
Gently made by Ambassador Bern
storff in the United States. The an
nouncement continues:
'As for the Arabic case, there
seems to be merely difference of
opinion about facts, which does not
affect the aforementioned principle"
The German government, in a note
to Ambassador Gerard, made a quail
fed disclaimer of responsibility for
the sinking of the steamship Hes
perian. On the face of the evidence
thus far at hand, the government is
satisfied that the Hesperian was not
sunk by a German submarine.
The communication is a preliminary
note. which may be supplemented
when all the facts in connection with
the Hesperian incident are established
definitely. The German government
states that, on the basis of the infor-
nation thus far obtained, the theory
that the Hesperian was sunk by Ger
man submarine apparently may be
abandoned absolutely.
1t is said that official records show
that no submarine should have been
In the vicinity of the Hesperian at
the time she was blown up. Further
more, the point is made that the vio-
lence of the explosion and the place
in which the steamship was struck,
as set forth in the accounts of the
disaster, indicate that it was due to a
mine.

WAYS OF TAcTFuL NURSE
Many Things That Should Be OBJ
served by Those Who Would Min
lister to the Sick.

The best training in the world can.
not turn woman who has not the
gift for nursing into a tactful nurse
Efficient and dependable she may
be trained to be, but tact and
sympathy must come by insight. How.
ever, there are certain rules and GER
tain little niceties that anyone trained
or unframed can and should remem-
Der when they are in the sick room
Be careful that you have no annoy.
ing little tricks. such as clearing your
throat, humming, rocking, drumming
with your fingers or making any I'm.
necessary noise that might be irritat
ing to tired nerves. AS most people
who have such tricks are quite uncon-
scious OF them themselves. it is quite
necessary to stop and think occasion
ally to be sure that you are guilty of
none of them.
Another habit most annoying to pa
tents is one that many nurses have
of talking to other people, the doctor
or family, in an undertone or whisper
within hearing of the patient. This
is as unnecessary and discourteous to
an ill person as it is to a we'll per.
son, and to many patients it is alarm
ing as well. If you have anything to
say that cannot be said in the hearing
of the patient, go out of the room to
say it.
still more necessary point to re.
member is that the most exquisite
neatness must be the order of the sick
room. The slightest disorder is often
intolerable to a nervous patient. Re-
member that all the patient would
wish to have done in her room you
must do for her, otherwise she will
worry about it. If she is an habitual
person and accustomed to have her
furniture and personal belongings
just so, it will fret and worry her to
have them misplaced. Do not leave
medicine bottles, bandages or any
paraphernalia of the sick room in
sight. They are depressing as well
as ugly.
Do not insist upon Strengthening the
bedclothes if your patient wishes to be
let alone. Do not insist on anything
that is unnecessary in the way of at
tentions or regulations. Above all,
hold it always in your mind that you
must study and consider your pa
TENTS personality and subdue your
own. Do not thoughtlessly impose
your willard habits upon a helpless,
nervous invalid.

More than fifty threatening letters
have been received by the commits
sion. Their contents run the scale
from abuse to threats against the
lives of the commissioners.
According to Information, the Ger

launched from the cover of American
citizens of German pareptage, nativ-
ity or sympathizers, although in real
ity these citizens were not the prime
movers in the agitation.
This campaign, according to reports
from sources regarded as reliable.
contemplated heavy Withdrawals,
wholesale in extent, from banks par
ticipating in the loan, as an express
sion of the displeasure of pro-German
depositors.
While the finance commission was
in conference with American finan-
ciers an unconfrmed report grew cur

$1,000,000,00O loan would not be made
unless American securities now held

it is said, are attempting to secure the
loan upon no other security than the
pledged word of the British and
French governments.
Washington, Sept. II. = Protests
against the Anglo-French credit loan

received at the White House in tele-
