Situation Unchanged.
Secretary Of State Lansing said yes

except as 1t had been modified by Car
rsnzs's compliance with one American
demand He would not attempt to pre-
dict the outcome until Carrsnza's reply
was received and It is known what al
utude the Mexican government takes on
the demand Of the United States for an
explanation of its actions and future in
tentions.
Secretary Of War Baker declared no
orders had been given changing the plans

that none are contemplated Mr.. Baker
said:

ment Of the Tenth cavalry. and had no
reference 70 those specific incidents"
Mr.. Ba-er emphasized the fact that the
necessity for assembling an army on the
border which existed before the treach-
erous attack on American troops at Car.
rial still existed.
Laun-American diplomats renewed their
efforts yesterday to inte-pose mediation
to avert war with Mexico. but without
success
Don Juan Risno. the Spanish Anbss-
sador; Senor Ignscio CaIderoa. the Bo-
livian Minister; DR.. RsfesI zaIdivar. the
salvadorean Minister. and DR.. Alberto
Membreno, the Hondursn Minister, call
ed at the State Department
Minister CaIderon. as Spokesman for
the diplomats urging mediation. was told
by Secretary Lansing that the United
States could not entertain mediator, pro-
possls until Carrsnza's reply to Sun
days note was received. Mr. Lansing
said that he had not been advised Of
hciGlly OF the release Of the American
prisoners or OF Csrrsnzs's attitude on
other question involved The L.stin-An,-
erican diplomats are prepared to urFs
mediation again II they can do so with
out appearing intrusive.
Explains Position of Us.
Secretary Lansing made the position OF
the United States plain on the subject
Of mediation. The United States. he
said, is not opposed to mediation IN prin-
dple; on the contrary 1t has always IA
vored mediation. But Il Carranzs can
not stop border raids, the United States
cannot mediate this question with him.
since the lives and property Of Aneri-
can citizens are involved.
In its recent note the United States
virtually charged Carranza with being
in co-partnership with bandits who rsided
American territory. The American note
declared Carrsnza had demonstrated his
inability to control bandits in Northern
Mexico.
1t was intimsted in LatinAmericsn diplo-
matte circles that the scope OF mediation
finally suggested probably would be some
plan for a joint patrol OF the Mexican
United States border.
Secretary Lansin would so no further
than to say the United States might
consider such a proposal.

Commerce Chamber to Prose
cute Tradesmen Who Publish
False Statements

Tradesmen who publish false and
misleading advertisements or practice
frauds upon customers who patronize
their establishments will be vigorously
prosecuted by the Harrisburg Cham
Der of Commerce.
The executive committee of the
Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce
held meeting this morning and de-
cided that hereafter any unethica:
practices on the above character of
Harrisburg merchants would be
handled without gloves
The number of traders who may be
addicted to- false advertising or frauds
is almost too small to be noticed, but
the Chamber of Commerce believes
that the buying public, especially the
laboring classes. are entitled to full
protection against anyone who takes
advantage of the high reputation of
the vast majority of Harrisburg retail
establishments and misleads their
customers.
In the past the Chamber of Com
merce has taken a number of pro-
tective measures against such gentry
by stopping illegal auctions, unworthy
special advertising schemes and warn
ing hrms not to publish false adver-
tising.
From this time on, however. the
Chamber intends to permit the courts
to deal with traders who deceive their
customers
