ton Again Demanded.

washington, july 24.-Th6 text or
the reply OF the United States to the
German note on the Lusitania and the
general subject Of Germany's subma-
rtne warfare was made public at the
state department.
Soon after 1t was given out the
president went to Cornish for a vaca-
ton and Secretary Lansing left town.
Secretaries Garrison and Daniels also
will be absent until about Tuesday.
Only One Threat.
The only suggestion of threat or
menace to the Germans in the note
is in the last paragraph, and 1t is be-
Heved changes were made in 1t just
before 1t was put on the cables. This
paragraph says:
Friendship itself prompts it to say
to the imperial government that repe-
tftton by the commanders of German
naval vessels of acts in contravention
of those rights must be regarded by
the government Of the United States,
when they affect American citizens,
as deliberately unfriendly."
This phrasing, it is believed, was
adopted at the last conference be-
tween Secretary of State Lansing and
there were several other phrases I'M
der discussion.
Not an Ultimatum.
The general tone of the note does
not affect the German official mind
here adversely In the opinion of
some German officials the note is least
Of all an ultimatum, and suggests new
ways by which the diplomatic discus
sions can be continued Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
was at the state department and was
handed copy of the note. He would
not discuss it officially but he left the
distinct impression on friends with
whom he talked that the avenues by
which friendly adjustment can be Sc
cured have not been closed.
One Of the salient suggestions of
the note is that 1t seems to refrain
from repeating the language of for
mer American notes, which have been
construed by diplomats here as mean
ing that Germany must stop her subma-
rine warfare. Not only is there an alb
sence of that character of language
but the concluding paragraph seems
only to ask that there be restriction
on the conduct Of the submarine war
fare affecting ships carrying Ameri-
apparent insistence or demand that
the United States supervise the whole
conduct Of German military activities
to her war zone. The note in full fol-

A Litter From the Mexican Border.

Castellon, Jan. Is, 1915.
The world wonders why the pro-
longed and bloody struggle in Mex
leo. | am of the opinion that but a
small per cent of our people have
really any conception of the causes
involved or details of present opera
tions in progress on Mexican soil.
Under my present situation and sur
roundings one can scarcely make a
more ideal selection to study the sit
uation over there at close range. One
Of the well known blind trails" lead
ing into the heart of the republic
crosses the Rio Grande river within
a stones throw of my tent door.
Many of the middle and lower classes
cross the river to and fro at this
point. Many of these are in sense
renegades from one side or the other.
Here, remote from any large settle
ments, towns or ports of entry, one
gets expression from the souls or in
ner temperament of the Mexicans.
Nobody is allowed to carry arms
crossing from either side to the 9th
er This rule is strictly enforced on
the Mexican side. A captain and one
company of soldiers is camped now
for a few days one mile away across
the river at st. Helena settlement.
No soldiers near here on the Ameri-
can side.
This morning young Mexican rode
in from the hills, and stopping near
my tent, gazed revengefully over into
Mexico.
"Good morning, senor," he said,
and went on to tell me some things.
81 was born and raised over there
some 80 miles away. With my father
and two brothers we had large
ranch and plenty cattle, horses, sheep
and goats. The captain Of the sol
diers he come to our ranch and took
20 head of best horses we have, and
pay US in very bad money. My IA
ther say he no like to take dat money.
The captain ordered him arrested.
Then he made my papa dig his own
grave, and then shot him dead. First
he made me and all the family wit
ness everything. We all now live on
this side, but everything was taken
from US. Damn Mexico. | get dat
capital some day first chance" And
that is the way he feels about it. Bear
in mind this mans resolve, 81 get
him some day first chance" What
would you do? Get even" is playing
big hand in this war. Old man
Militone Filones, neighbor just up
The river on this. side, evidently has
seen better days. He is penniless now
and has "a large family. After beg
bing sack of tobacco last night he
also told me some things.
"Me and my. three sons did live
over there in Mexico and had lots of
horses and cattle. We all fight with
Villa five days at Ojinaga last year.
We whipped the federals and ran
them over into Texas. Two OF my
sons were killed. In short time a
Villa captain come down to my ranch,
took all my cattle and horses and we
fled to Texas for protection. We got
nothing for fighting at Ojinaga and
deep down in my heart feel the in
gratitude. / pray for revenge"
Millitone impressed me as one Of
the few who really fought for love
of country. The leaders perhaps know
the causes and the why's, but so far as
manifest on the surface with the av-
erage citizen Of Mexico, it is a per-
sonal proposition with him To square
