WASHINGTON, d. c., June 23.-The state de-
partment officially indicated this afternoon that vir-
tual ultimatum has been sent to President Cananza,
of the Mexican de facto government.
If it is shown by later reports that Carranza troops
were responsible for the Carrza battle the state de-
partment has informed Carranza he can settle the
matter by denouncing their action.
The inference is that if Carranza does not thus
denounce the act of his soldiers, the United States
will take punitive measures.

members and initiate them next week.
The work in these societies will be
made more interesting this year than
heretofore. Only FIVE or six literary
programs are to be given turnout the

worth while.
One OF last years ambitious Seniors
