WAR CLOUD PASSES.
Carranza Sends Conciliatory Note to
United States.

Washington, July 5.-Early re-
sumption of friendly diplomatic con-
versation with the de facto govern
ment of Mexico, to the end that peace
and order may be restored in north
ern Mexico and along the border, is
expected here to be the next step OF
the United States in it's relations with
it's southern neighbor.
The crisis precipitated by Villa S
raid on Columbus, N. NJ, and culmi-
mating in the fight at Carrizal be-
tween American and Mexican troops
appeared tonight to have been dissi-
pated by an amicable note from Gen.
Carranza presented today by his am
bassador designate here, Eliseo Ar
redondo.
The note proposes that the differ
ences between the governments be
settled by mediation or by direct ne
gotiations. 1t is remarkable for its
brevity, it's restrained and frlend1y
tone and for the absolute lack of any
of the strong, even insolent, language
which characterized the last two
communications from the de facto
government. It treats as closed in
cident the exchange of unfriendly
communications which brought wal
almost within sight.
For Wilson to Determine.
No formal comment on the note
was obtainable from State depart,
ment officials. A copy was forward
ed to the white house Immediately
upon it's receipt and President Will
son will determine the course to be

TO TRAIN AT FORT MOULTRIE.
Mobilization Camps to Be Dscon
tinued as Soon as Guards Leave.

New York, July 7.-Mobilization
camps in most of the twenty-five
States of the department of the east
will be discontinued, it was announc-
edstonight at divisional headquarters,
Governors island, as soon as the last
National Guard organization called
out by the president has departed for
the border.
With the closing of the camps, re-
cruits will be trained at army posts
already designated, according to an
order issued today by Major Gen.
Leonard Wood.
It was found that the contemplat-
ed plan of maintaining the State
camps for training recruits would en-
force the absence of scores of regu-
lar army and National Guard officers
from their border commands.
Among the army posts designated
are: Tennessee, North Carolina and
Georgia-Fort Oglethorpe, Ga.
Florida and Alabama-Fort Baran-
cas-, Pensacola.
South Carolina-For Moultrie
Charleston.
Gen. Wood said tonight depend
ents of National Guardsmen have
flooded him with letters and tele-
grams requesting him to discharge
Guardsmen as a result of the recent
war department order. He said he
wished it emphasized that soldiers
with dependents cannot be discharg-
ed by the commanding officer of the
department until the request is first
made by the soldier, with corroborat-
evidence.

THE AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY,
Report of Great Religious Organize
tion for 1915 Very Encouraging.

The recent observance of the CEN
tennial of the American Bible society
lends especial interest to it's report
for 1915, shortly to appear. This re-
port will show that 100000 copies
of Bibles or parts of Bibles, were dis
tributed last year in China alone.
Concerning these there is an inter-
esting story to relate. A Chinese phi
lanthropist, Yung Tao, purchased s.
900 New Testaments to give to
friends. These were distributed last
year. Each book contains a presen-
tation slip bearing these words: ''Re-
spectfully presented by Yung Tao,
who is not a church member" An
other slip contains some excellent ad-
vice to the reader, and then several
we'll chosen quotations from the BIZ
BILE.
The agent of the Bible society call
ed on Mr. Yung at his home in Pc
king, and Mr.. Yung returned the call
at the Bible house. The agent re-
cords his judgment that Mr.. Yung is
an humble follower of Jesus Christ,
fully imbued with His spirit, though
not church member. Mr.. Yung told
the agent:
81 have only just started on my
work of Bible distribution. 1 intend
to put copies in every school in the
whole of China and into the hands Of
every teacher and official.
At the same time the societys
agent reports that owing partly to
war conditions, but principally be-
cause the appropriations have been
reduced, he has been obliged for the
present actually to stop printing
books and will soon have to stop the
distribution of the books already
printed in some parts Of the country.
The stock of Scriptures has been
nearly sold out.
Inc 6lDl0 society thought IL d Sig
nificant and touching fact that one
missionary in China who is PERSONAL
ly far from rich sent in a centennial
gift of $144 in gold to New York.
Officers of the society limited that
there could be no better example set
for Christians in America interested
in the Bible society's work.

LADEN SUBMARINE ARRIVES.
First Undersea Merchantmen is Now
at Baltimore.

Baltimore, July 9.-The worlds
first submarine merchantmen, the
German underwater liner Deutsch-
land, anchored below Baltimore to-
night, after coming safely across the
Atlantic, passing the allied blockad-
ing squadrons and eluding enemy
cruisers watching for her off the
American coast. She carries mail
and a cargo of $50 tons Of costly
chemicals, and dyestuffs and is to car
ry back home a similar amount of
nickel and crude rubber, sorely need
ed by the German army.
Sixteen days out from Bremerha-
ven to Baltimore, the submarine
reached the Virginia Capes at 1:45
o'clock this morning, passing in on
the surface, covered by darkness
which settled over the entrance of
the bay with the setting of the moon.
Once inside the visitor threw caution
aside and began shrieking his sireen,
signalling pilot and at the same
time attracting the attention of the
tug Thomas F. Timmons, which had
been waiting in the lower bay for
nearly two weeks to greet the
Deutschland and convoy her into
port.
German Flag Flying.
Three hours later the big subma-
rine started up the bay with the Ger
man merchant flag flying, under her
own power, piloted by Capt. Fred
erick D. Cooke, of the Virginia Pr
lots association, and conveyed by the
Timmons. She was making more
than twelve knots an hour and could
have docked in Baltimore tonight,
but arrangements had been made for
receiving her with formal cere-
monies tomorrow and her captain
was ordered to wait in the lower har-
Dor. He and his crew of twenty-nine
men remained aboard their craft.
Regarding his vessel as mer-
chantman, subject to no unusual re-
strictions, the skipper, whose name
is said to be Capt. Kairig, went up
the Chesapeake without waiting to
notify local customs and quarantine
authorities of his presence. He was
five hours away before Norman Ham
ilton, collector of Norfolk and New
| port News, heard the news, and start
ed on the trail on board the coast
guard cutter Onondaga. At last re-
ports the Onondaga had not reached
the submarine, and it is understood
that she merely was ordered to keep
the strange craft under surveillance
as a neutrality precaution. Quaran-
tine port regulations will be complied
with when the vessel moves up to
her dock tomorrow.

DISCOVERY OF AMERICA.
Its Cost Said to Have Been Seven
Thousand Dollars.

The discovery of America cost a
little more than seven thousand dol
lars, says the American Boy. At
least so say some documents that
have just been found in the archives
of Genoa. These documents give the
value of Columbus's fleet as three
thousand dollars. The great admiral
was paid salary of three hundred
dollars a year, the two captains who
accompanied him received salary OF
two hundred dollars each, and the
members of the crews we're paid at
the rate of two dollars and fifty cents
a month each.

pursued.
The fact that Secretary Lansing
completed preparations today for a
months vacation to begin Friday, is
regarded as significant, however, OF
a feeling on his part that the crisis
is over.
AS a matter of general principle
the Washington government always
has favored mediation of any dis
putes suitable for such procedure.
There is every indication, however
that in the present instance it will
be deemed desira bic to conduct forth
coming negotiations directly with the
Carranza government.
Members of the Latin-American
diplomatic corps here are expected to
make inquiry soon as to the attitude
of the Washington government, in
view of the statement of the Mexi-
can foreign office that it awaits only
a decision here as to whether media
tion or direct negotiations would be
preferable. Indications tonight were
that the inquiries would be met with
assurances that the two governments
had reached the stage where they
would not find it necessary to call
upon the friendly services of their
neighbor States.
Important Conferences.
1t is not known whether formal
reply to Gen. Carranza's note is con-
templated. Many officials feel that
more can be accomplished through
informal discussion between Mr.. Ar
redondo and Counsellor Polk, who
will act as secretary in Mr.. Lansing s
absence, than could be hoped for in
any other way. 1t is understood Mr..

JOKE TURNED ON THE JOKER
Connecticut Postal Employee Lost
Job by Being Funny.

Linus A. Hill, for seven years a
clerk in the postoff1ce at Wallingford,
seven months ago sent letter to a
town official directing attention to
the fact that the ''town clock was on
a strike.'
Hill inserted the joke in franked
envelope. The recipient took up the
matter with the postofice department
at Washington, with the result that
Hill has been dismissed.-Winsted,

Safety Pin Taken From Infant.


Bowman, July 6.-The infant son
of Mr.. and Mrs. o. P. Evans, of this
town, who swallowed safety pin
last week and was rushed by the at
tending physician, DR.. Black, to Co.
lumbia for treatment, was operated
on yesterday and the pin taken out.
DR.. Black stated last night that the
operation was a successful one, re-
vealing the fact upon it's being re-
moved, that it has been stationary
ever since it entered the stomach.
Several X-ray examinations were
made indicating this, and the opera
tion was not deferred any longer.
