The North American Refinery COM

with the owners of the Channel &
North Pool Oil Co. whereby they be-
came owners of the leases formerly
owned by the oil companies. These
leases are along the bed of the Cim-
arron river in the north field and
contain some good production. At
the present time they are drilling for
wells and expect to bring them in
some time next week If there is no

NEW YORK, oct 2.-Dangcr of

of the sinking of the Arabic was alb

steamer Dunsley.

It was pointed out as significant in
German quarters that when the Ger

As Long as Mexico Affords
Refuge Raids Will
Continue.
NAFARRATE REMOVED
CaIranza Must Start Active
Bandit Hunting, Army
Officials Say.

ID TOWNSVILLE, oct. Peace
I'D along the lower Rio Grando
frontier depends almost wholly on the
action Of the Carranza authorities in
stopping the unrestricted use of tho
Mexican side of the river as a refuge
from pursuit and justice This was
the opinion of American army Of
fiCCrs today IL was based on reports
reaching army and civil officials
Today completed the first consecu-
tive week since July without either
raid by Mexicans on Texas ranches
or skirmishes across the Rio Grandc
between MeXiCans and American
soldiers. Reports TO army officers in
diCate clearly that virtually all the
Mexican raiders have for the present
been forced across the Rio Grande.
Reports from Carranaz authorities
in Matamoros admitted the presence
of nearly one hundred of these raiders
on the Mexican side.
l. Puzzling Problem.
Unless the Carranza soldiers attack
these bandits, officers here believe
that hunger, shortage of money and
lack Of equipment will soon force
them back across the river on new
raids. with nearly five thousand
American troops constantly under
arms awaiting Just such invasions
every raid seems likely to develop a
fight which will be carried TO the in
ternatiOnal line as the bandits follow
the usual tactics Of retreat and every
fight across the boundary intenslfies
the enmity against the Americans
which for weeks has been spreading
in northeast Mexico as result Of the
outbreaks.
Nafarratc is Relieved.
An American returning today from
periodical trip through that sec
tiou, reported that feeling against
Americans appeared to be growing
somewhat ugly. Announcement today
by General f.. p Nafarrate at Mata-
mOros that new Carranza COM
mander is coming to handle the bor-
der situation on the Mexican side and
that Carranza officers are locating the
hiding places of bandits. while il re-
lieyed the tension somewhat on the
American side, was not considered
sufficient. Until the Carranza sol
diers actually begin bandit hunting 1t
can be stated authoritativcly that
American troops will continue each
night to prepare for anything from
a skirmish to an actual battle before
morning

One Wife Claims She Had TO Support
Her Husband.

Because, as his wife alleges, Jacob
Maur refused to work but compelled
her to support him, and at one time
took away from her S100 which she

vorce from her husband. She says
that they were married on March %.

the following month. She charges
also that he once told her that he
would get rid Of her if he had to give
her arsenic.

the sinking of the Lusitania, was
drafted, informing Germany that
the United States would not omit
any word or any act'' to protect
its rights. At that time Mr. Bryan
made a speech counselling peaceful
measures and cautious action. He
gave his consent to signing the note
only after it was tentatively arrang-
ed that a statement should be issued
at the White House and transmit
ted to the German Government an
nouncing that, inasmueh as Ger
many had accepted the principle OF
the peace treaties negotiated be-
tween the United States and other
countries, differences between the
two nations might be adjusted by a
commission of investigation. OPP
position to this course was most We
hement in some Cabinet quarters,
and the President after having con-
sidered at length Mr. Bryan's ,sug-
gestion finally disapproyed it at the
hour the note was sent. Some Cab
met officers argued that such an ap-
pendix TO the note of May Is would
be construed abroad as a weakening
of the American position, and their
counsel prevailed.
Since then the official relations OF
Mr. Bryan with the President and
the other Cabinet officers have been
somewhat strained, although the
closest personal friendship has been
maintained.
MIR Bryan's action was received in
official circles with undisguised
amazement. 1t is said that his in
innate friends advised against it.
The resignation occupied the lead
ing position in the London hewspa-
pers, which also expressed great as
tonishment but believed that Presi-
dent Wilson's hands were not
weakened.
