RUPTURE WITH
MEXICO SEEMS
LESS PROBABLE

Continued from Page L.
General Carranza had taken the step
because he did not desire to aggra'
vate the relations between the two
countries"
Says Carranza Friendly.
Mr.. Arredondo issued the following
statement understood to be based
largely on the language of his dis
patch from Mexico City:
II have been confident from the
first that the American soldiers would
be released. From the time of their
capture until arrangements were made
to free them there was at no time
any other intention on the part Of the
de facto government or its military
officials. The attitude Of the first
chief has steadfastly been one OF
friendship toward the United States,
prompted always by desire to avoid
conflict and promote the welfare Of
both governments. In the situation
that exists it should be. borne in mind
that it has not been brought about
by any act which could be attributed
either to the government or the Mex
lean people, but is due entirely to the
predetermined intentions of an ire
sponsible criminal"
Great Activity at San Antonio.
San Antonio, Tex, June 2o.--Staff
officers and departmental chiefs at
General Funston's headquarters con-
tinued today the work Of shaping the
hourly increasing army for possible
offensive movement.
Notification that Carranza had Or
dered the surrender of the negro
troopers captured at Carrizal did not
lower the pressure of military pre-
paration. The opinion was wide
spread that the release Of the pris-
oners had not altered the basic rea-
sons for mobilization Of any army
along the border.
By night it was believed that a
considerable part of the newly made
army would be nearing border sta
tions.
Supplies were being assembled at
Brownsville, Laredo, Eagle Pass and
other points on the border, where the
greater concentrations will be made.

PatchouIi for Moth Prevention.

The fragrant dried roots Of the
patchouli, reports Special Agent Car
rard Harris, are held in great esteem
in Porto Rico, and it is the general be-
lief in the island that when placed
among clothing and in closets they are
a sure preventive of moths. IN the
earlier days of the century the per-
fume of patchouli was in great favor
It is believed that, If the properties
of patchouli were more generally
known, there would be demand Tor
it in the United States in preference
to moth balls. 1t should have as mucn
vogue as lavender for putting between
sheets and placing among garments
and if it were manufactured OF
shredded into finer substance anu
sold in small bags, it would be u.s.
cided novelty that undoubtedly woulu
prove popular. Great quantities Oh 1t
grow wild in Porto Rico, and demanu
for it from the United States Wouid
afford employment to many OF the poor
country people. In Porto Rico natives
bring the patchouli to town and sell 1t
in small bundles that retail at two u
five cents.
