De FACTO CHIEF
DOES NOT REPLY
TO LANSING Note
Defiant Statement to Mexican
People Is Not Followed by
Answer to the United
States.
SITUATION MARKING TIME
Little Probability Of Definite
Action Until Congress Re-
convenes Wednesday.
FUNSTON KEEPS QUIET

Washington, July 1.-Unless Cen
eral Carranza's reply to the last
American note arrives today and is as
defiant as private advices from Mex
leo City have indicated, it is consid-
cred probable President Wilson will
have to wait at least until next
Wednesday before placing the Mex
ican situation before congress, as the
house planned to adjourn today over
the Fourth.
1t was plain that administration
officials were impatient at the failure
to receive any word of when the Mex
lean note might be expected, since
the demand for prompt reply went
to Mexico City last Sunday.
Strong assurances may be given in
the Mexican reply, it is believed by
officials here, of the de facto govern
ments ability to protect the border
against further raids. The Mexican
embassy stated fifty troops would be
available for this service if the Amer
ican force is withdrawn.
Developments at Standstill.
Developments in the Mexican crisis
were at standstill, while the United
States government awaited Impatient
ly Carranza's reply.
Messages received at the State de-
partment from Special Agent Rodg-
ers at Mexico City made no mention
of the Mexican answer. Mr.. Rodg-
ers so far has been unable to forecast
the action of General Carranza and
the only intimations reaching here
have been through diplomatic and
private dispatches. These have in
dicated that the de facto government
was preparing to stand by its attitude
Of hostility toward United States
troops across the border.
Upon his return from New York
President Wilson went over all the
advices at hand, but learned virtually
nothing he did not know when he left

Everything is quiet at the county

something to do with the purchase of

Million Shells Fired Daily.

The tremendous offensive which
has been launched by the British
army on the German front is the cul-
mlnation of Il five days bombardment
which,, IN the amount of ammunition
expended and in the territory involv-
ed, exceeds anything of the kind that
has been previously known in the
world war.
For some weeks reports have been
current in England and France that
the big push" of the British was
abou, to commence. 1t was stated
that England had 100000 men, fully
equipped and trained, in preparation
for the supreme effort to break the
German lines, More than 100000
shells are declared to have been fired
daily in the preliminary bombardment
which extended over front ninety
miles in length.
Offensive in All Fields.
The allies are now on the offensive
in practically every field of the war.
The British assault comes on the
heels OF the great successes won by
the Russians in Galcia and Buko-
wilma, which have resulted in COM
pletely driving the Austrians from
Bukowina, and are still continuing.
On the Italian front the central pow

whether the order came to him from

Celestia strolled away in the moon

Tense; must also arrange that there
shall be no attack. No wonder they

seem TO be human"

When they return to the town the A.
tack will begin. And if they don't re-
turn to the town by eleven o'clock,
the attack will begin"
Celestia pondered this for few
minutes. Then she said:
We'll need all our strength. Have
you had breakfast"
Il couldn't eat till I'd seen you and
you'd spoken to me-
Celestia laughed and once more ap'
preached the door.
How about breakfast" she called
"Orders are to supply breakfast on
demand"
Can you make 1t breakfast fol-
two?'
Certainly"
Ten minutes later the door wal
opened, steaming tray was slid
along the floor through the opening
and the door was once more closed
and locked.
Almost in silence for they were botf
very hungry, Celestia and Tommy ate
hearty breakfast.

don't want to be thanked. I want to
forget all about that. We can talk
as we 60. l am going to talk to the
strikers this morning. Already some
of the men here feel more peaceful.
The main thing is that there mustn't
be any blood shed until l have had a
chance to make everybody see every
thing in true light. You stopped
one attack on the stockade. That
was fine!"
1T was common sense"
1T was fine! Shall we start now?'

Some of the strikers will give me
a cup of coffee. That's all l need"
She smiled radiantly upon him, and
went to the door of the house.

Yes, know"
Celestia raised her voice.
"Youl without there! Open the
door,"
A stern voice answered her:
Orders are to keep the door locked
and shoot anybody who tries to leave
the house."
What does II mean?"

wants the stockade attacked. He is

that you will prevent the defense. So

never slept in times Of danger, went
on a midnight tour of inspection, ana
made certain discoveries which hlled
him with anger and anxiety. Ihe
very first sentry whom he talked 10
made a damaging confession.
Seen nothing tonight?" Kehr asked.
"Only the lady, sir"
what LADY," ,-
"The lady in white"
"Oh!"
Yes, SIR
The sentry gave the appearance OF
one who wishes to speak. but is afraid.
"Well, what is IT,
After talking with her, sir, think
I ought to be relieved. My orders Is
to shoot to kill. After talking with
her, sir, ! couldn't do It,"
You wouldn't obey my orders"
81 couldn't, sir"
when you have been relieved, you
will report at the guard house. You
are a prisoner"
"Yes, sir"
Kehr returned to his headquarters
and gave orders that all the men then
on sentry duty should be relieved, and
sent to him. From all he obtalnedI
similar confessions to that made byI
the first sentry. One by one he inter-
viewed every man in his command,
and found, to his great relief, that only
those on duty at the time when Celes-
tia had made her tour of Inspection
had been tampered with. These ne
had locked up.
Early the next morning Gunsdorr,
Carson, Cracowitz and Tommy Bar
clay arrived before the gate OF the
stockade under the protection OF q
white flag, and were admitted pres
emily, after being blindfolded, to a
parley with Kehr.
Barclay" Gunsdorf explained,
"comes on a private matter. He
wants to thank the lady who saved
his life yesterday. If that isn't pos
sible he wishes permission to go
20 back to his friends in town"
"You others have come on business.
Well, I'll listen to you once more-if
can. Barclay may see the lady
Tommy was blindfolded once more,
and escorted to Celestia's house. He
was pushed in, told to take off the
bandage over his eyes, and heard
the door lock behind him.
He found himself in plain little
sitting room about twelve feet square.
Two doors opened from it, but both
at the moment were closed. or Celes-
tia there was neither sight nor sound.
Tommy seated himself in plain
deal chair, and waited. Half an hour
passed. Then he began to call to her,
at first softly and then more loudly:
"Celestia-oh Celestia-where are
you? It's Tommy"
Presently he heard himself an
swered in a sleepy voice.
What is 1t? I've just walked up"
Don't trouble then-later will do.

"I'll come in little while,' said
Celestia. do you mind waiting?'
After what seemed an eternity to
Tommy she came.

me so. Why wouldn't you speak to
me?"

tatingly, "but | will now. Only !

The sentry didn't hesitate mo-
ment. He unlocked the door, flung 1t
open and leaped into the hallway, He
was in time to see Celestia's heels
bump over the threshold of the parlor
door as Tommy. half laughing and
half ashamed, dragged her in from
the hall.
The sentry leaped to the rescue of
those heels and their beautiful owner.
The situation with which he found
himself confronted In the parlor was
not, however, in the least what he
expected.
Against the opposite wall stood the
female prisoner-laughing. The male
prisoner was nowhere to be seen.
The gallant sentry's lower Jaw
dropped and hung loosely.

a step forward, looking the sentry
squarely in the eyes. He had been

How would he make It all blow

"By electricity. He'd have switch
somewhere that connected up all the
detonators in the grove
What is a switch?"
The sentry explained as well as he
could, and after wishing him good
night Celestia went slowly away,
deeply pondering.
While she pondered on this, she
heard herself sharply challenged, and
found herself face to face with
black-bearded man who stood with his
back to a sheet-iron door in the side
of a small sheet.iron house, that had
no windows.
Celestia gave the word for the night
and asked the man what he was guard

Where is IT." she asked
There was a short battle of eyes,
and Celestia as usual conquered.
"Mr Kehr said you could go where
you liked?'
Celestia simply nodded and contin-
ued to look the man in the eyes. He
hesitated a moment, and then leaned
over and lifted large, fiat stone. Un-
der the stone a bright nickel-plated
key shone in the moonlight.
Thank you," said Celestia. And
she took the key and opened the iron
door of the iron house and went in.
For Gods sake" said the man, all
trembling now at what he had done;
don't touch anything. Only look"
"Then," said Celestia, come and
show me what there is to see. It's
all dark in here"
The man followed her hastily into
the building and struck a match.

The match had gone out. Celestia
followed the sentry into the open air,
and while he relocked the door, and
rehid the key, she thanked him very
| gro ciously, as If he had done her some
small gracious favor. Well, she had
seen the switch and just before the
match went out, she had read these
words painted on a rectangle Of white
Cardboard: -.
Don't touch. Dynamite!"
"And what" she said sweetly, ARE
your orders about that switch? What
will be the occasion of setting off the
dynamite?"
The sentry affected not to hear.

Sale Of Seals
Is Organized

All Oregon is evidencing interest
in the campaign for the sale of Red
Cross Christmas seals.
Organizations in 100 different COM
munities are active. Recorders keep
the headquarters at the Oregon AS
sociation for the Prevention of Tu-
berculosis office in Portland busy. 1t
is safe to say that 100000 pieces of
mail, Christmas packages and so
forth will be stamped with Red
Cross Christmas seals this month.
AS each seal is in itself a warning
against the disease that takes the
life of one of every twelve people
that die in Oregon, the amount OF
good thus done can hardly be esti-
mated. At the same time the pro
ceeds from the sale of the seals at q
penny each go entirely, except for the
10 per cent that pays the American
Red Cross for printing and other ex'
pense. to the organized fight against
tuberculosis which is. being carried
on by the Oregon Association for the
Prevention of tuberculosis.
The officers of the association "a
L. Mills, president of the First Ma
tional Bank of Portland, is presiden
and Mrs. Saddle Orr Dunbar is secre
tary) feel that the support which II
being given so freely constitutes the
best of all endorsements of the un
selfish work which they have under
taken.
The campaign for the sale of the
Santa Calus" seals will continue
through the entire month. The as
sociation must have not less thar

Will Study Oregon
Ore Treatments

Portland, Ore, Dec. special
Correspondence Dorsey A. Lyon,
metallurgist of the Federal Bureau
of Mines, at the order of Director
Manning came to Portland to arrange
for cooperative work with the Ore
gon Bureau of Mines and Geology.
DR.. Lyon, who has been in charge of
the Salt Lake station for few years,
has just been placed in charge of the
Northwest Mining Experiment Sta
tion, recently announced from Wash
ington, D. c., as having been located
at Seattle.
AS result of the conference
which was held between DR.. Lyon,
Chairman Lawric and Director Parks
of the Oregon Bureau, DR.. Lyon is
recommending to Director Manning
that experimental work be inaugural
ed imme liately, taking up problems
of treatment of Oregon ores. This
news will be welcomed generally be-
cause of the many rebellious ores in
both eastern and western Oregon,
the satisfactory solution of which
will give additional impetus to Ore
CONS rapidly increasing mineral pro-
duction.
1t has been arranged that the Ore
gon bureau will select the problems
to be solved while the federal bureau
with their laboratories aud staff will
cooperate and assist in determining
the process of extraction which will
be the best for our ores.
The above arrangement accords
with the statement which came from
Washington, D. c., few days ago to
the effect that Seattle, Wash, will be
the site of the Northwest Mining Ex
pertinent Station, and that substa
tions will be established in Oregon
and Idaho. Director Manning of thu
federal bureau made the following
statement:
GAS the result of careful consider
alton of the data collected regarding
the problems to be undertaken and
the facilities and cooperation offered
