Assurances Renewed.

According to the information avail able, the note, believed to have been dictated by Carranza himself, renews assurances that adequate forces of the de facto government are engaged in suppressing brigandage in North ern Mexico and protecting the inter- national line; admits that serious situation exists, but again suggests that the presence of American troops agg1avates rather than helps mat ters; and paves the way for resump- tion of discussion in regard to bor- der protection patrol, the subject of the first notes which passed between the two governments.
 The de facto government announces that it has accepted in principle me- .diation suggested from other Ameri- .can republics, and invites the United States likewise to record itself. There is no proposal that the question at issue be submitted to mediation, how ever, and, on the contrary, it is ob- served thatsa settlement might better be reached through direct negotia- tions between the governments in- terested and best informed.
 Presumably the note is in reply to the American response to Carranza' s demand for withdrawal of United States troops from Mexico, in which Secretary Lansing declared the de facto government was unable or un- willing to protect the border from
 bandit forays and announced the in tention of the United States to use its forces as long as might be neces- sary to perform the duties which the Mexican government neglected, as well as to the brief communication sent a week ago Sunday demanding the release of the troopers captured at Carrizal and requiring an early statement of the de facto govern ment'S intentions

Pershing Withdrawing.

Officials are most anxious to know just how the latter demand has been met. It was intimated at the embassy that while there is no renewal of the warning that American troops in Mexico would be attacked, a general declaration of position and purposes is given instead of the specific state inert sought by the United States.
 Withdrawal of Gen. Pershing's ex- 0editionary force to a base within 150 tiles of the border already has been
 cc1mplished, and this, it is believed, ~'il go far toward satisfying the MeXicans and making them amenable to reason. On the other hand, a large part of the national guard as well as the entire mobile regular army is on border patrol duty and ready to support the column in Mexico in any emergency that may arise.
 Both State and War Department officials feel that the United States is in position to deal firmly with the de facto authorities and safeguard

WILSON VETOES
THE ARMY BILL
Resents Section Freeing Tong
ueS of Retired Officers.
HAY TAKES BULL BY HORNS
Presidents Action Against Feature
Exempting Retired Officers From
courts-MartiaI Brings DecIa-
ration From Hay.

Washington.-The Army appropria-
ton bill was Unexpectedly vetoed by
President Wilson because he would
not accept certain provisions in the
revision of the articles of war, forced
into the bill by the House conferees
and commonly said in Army circles to
be in the interest of certain retired
officers "at outs" with the Army.
Chairman 11ay, of the House Mill
tary Committee, at once re:ntroduced
the bill with the entire section re-
vising the articles of war stricken out
and the declaration that no revision
at all would go through with the bill
in this Congress.
Chairman Chamberlain, of the Sen
ate Military Committee, announced
that the Senate would reinsert the re-
vision approved by the President and
the War Department, but stricken out
in the House, and that the situation
had resolved itself into a contest be-
tween the Senate and House on one
hand and Mr.. Hay on the other.
May Delay Adjournment.
The tangle threatens to delay the
adjournment of Congress and, incl
dentally, completion Of the prepared
ness program, as well as to hold up
appropriations for the Army increases
and all the extra expenses involved in
the Mexican service.
The Presidents veto, one Of the few
he has exercised, marks another stage
in the long nght between the Army
and Chairman Hay. The Army charges
Hay with defeat Of the Continental
Army and universal training plans and
the substitution of National Guard re-
organization, which 1t opposed. Army
officers also say certain features of the
bill were injected in conference and
never were debated on the floor of
either house of Congress.
The articles of war have not been
revised in a hundred years, and are
said to be sadly deficient for dealing
with conditions which the growth of
the Army and development Of the
nation requires. The War Depart
ment is especially anxious for changes
to enable Army officers to deal ade-
quately with problems arising during
the present Mexican service.
Included in the revision worked out
by Congress, over the objection of the
President and the War Department,
was a provision which exempted re-
tired officers from courts martial and
Army discipline, If not actually from
Army control, and placed them under
the jurisdiction of the civil courts.

DROPPING OF MIDDLE NAMES
A Two-Ply Title Found to Be More
Convenient Socially, Morally and
Financially.

This is the day of the twO-cylInder
name, which fact has been proved BY
cOgnOmen cOnnOisseurs who have
looked over every name at Harvard
and inspected the persons to whom the
names belong. They learned that
some extremely nice persons have no
middle names at all, and seem ~ get
on rather we'll without them.
It Is assumed. that the ever-grOw-
Ing trend toward efficiency Is to be
blamed for the dropping of diversified
names, for it has long been understood
that a person with a two-ply title need
not be especially embarrassed about 1t.
In the course Of a wealthy mans life
1t means the writing Of about 10000
600 useless words If he uses his mid
die name on checks and Endorsements,
and these things have got to be con-
sidered.
The Porcelain club at Harvard, the
most exclusive organization of its kind
In the country; proves this year the
failing value Of middle names. There
are fifteen members this year. and but
Eve of them are burdened with exces-
sive nomenclature.
OF course, George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln had no middle names,
but this evidence is considered as moth
ing at Harvard compared with the fact
that Theodore Roosevelt hasn't. That
one fact Is almost enough to wreck the
complicated title system at the uni
versity.

cussed. OF course, Germany would re-
gard such an arrangement as q
"causus belli."
Major Mohrat says in the Tageblatt:
German and Austrian ministers at
Bucharest have pointed out the con-
sequences to Roumania Of granting
permission to the Russians to march
through Roumanian territory. Toward

measures"

The entry Of Roumania into the war
on the side Of the Entente would mean
the forging of another link in the chain
Of foes surrounding the Central Pow
ers. The material aid which Rou-
mania could give would be Of an i'm
portant character. She has between
100000 and 100000 troops mobilized
for nearly a year and her army is
reputed to be one of the best equipped
and trained in Europe.
Apart from possible reinforcement
Roumania would be in a position to
deal powerful blow at Bulgaria from
the north, in conjunction with the
Allies drive from the south.
1t has been generally understood
that Russia has been willing to con-
cede the province of Bessarabia, the
population of which is largely Rou-

10 Start Water Through Spill
ways Of Elephant Butte.
GREAT IRRIGATION WORK
Waters OF Rio Grande To Be Sent
Through Chain Of Valleys In New
Mexico, Texas and Old Mex.
leo On October IA.

Ell Paso, Tex.-When President VIII
son touches the golden key which will
start the waters of the Rio Grande
flowing through the spillways Of the
great Elephant Butte dam on October
IA he will bring In" 100000 acres of
fertile lands in the chain of valleys in
New Mexico, Texas and Old Mexico
The first meeting of the twenty-third
International Irrigation Congress will
be held at the dam dedication and
followed by sessions in FL Paso, Oc-
tOber 16, IL and Is.
The Elephant Butte dam Is a mass
Of concrete and steel thrown across
the Rio Grande on the desert of New
Mexico at the point where great
rock, formed life the head and body
Of mastodonic elephant, seems to
drink from the Rio Grande. This
giant impounding dam has formed the
largest irrigation reservoir in the
world. More than As miles in length
and eight miles across, the lake stores
the melted SHOWS of the Colorado
Mountains and these life-giving
waters are allowed to flow through
spillways of the dam when the land
needs moisture for the growing sea-
son, thus causing the desert acres be-
low the dam to blossom and bear fruit
age.
"The dedication of the Elephant
Butte dam by President Wilson on
October IA will be an event Of world
wide Importance in the irrigation
field" states James G. McNary, presi-
dent Of the First National Bank Of
El PasO and chairman of the board
of control of the Irrigation Congress.
''It will mark the Reclamation Serv-
ices greatest achievement It will
reward the pioneer men and women
of the lower Rio Grande valleys, from
Albuquerque to Old Mexico, and it
will justify the faith Of the people Of
the Southwest who have staked their
all on the fertility Of the soil and the
ability of the project to carry the
waters to the lands when most need
ed. Above all, 1t will be a perpetual
monument to the Irrigation Congress,
which has been conducting a great
empire-building campaign for the past
26 years.
1--WE anticipate that President VIII
son will be accompanied by several
members of his official family, includ
ing Franklin K. Lane, Secretary Of
the Interior, and probably other mem
bers Of his Cabinet; A. A. Jones, First
Assistant Secretary Of the Interior;
Judge Will r. King. Chief Counsel
and other members of the Reclama-
ton Service"

Electric Wheel chairs

Electric wheel chairs similar to
those employed at the Panama-P Pacific
international exposition last year are
being used successfully In Europe for
the wounded and crippled soldiers.
Invariably the convalescent men pre-
fer to direct their own chair rather
than to have someone push them
about. One of these chairs, which Is
of Swiss make and costs a small sum,
Is equipped with One-Quarter horse
power motor suspended between the
steering and rear wheel. Current is
supplied from q battery Of 10 lead
plate cells housed in three boxes be-
meath the seat. The battery Is Of 80
ampere hours capacity and provides
sufficient energy for a run of thirty to
forty miles. Five forward and five
reverse speeds are provided. The
steering and operating mechanism is Of
the very simplest.
