TENSION Is RELAXED.

Ell Paso, Texas, June 80. Tension
relaxed perceptibly today as result OF
the safe return Of the American troop
ers taken prisoner In the Carrizal en-
gagement. a~
In official circles in Juarez news dis
patches that the surrender of the negro
soldiers had averted possibility of i'm
mediate retaliatory steps by the Unit.
ed States were received with obvious
satisfaction. Andres Garcia, Mexican
consul at Ell Paso, expressed the belief
that the first step looking toward a
peaceful solution of the border prob.
lem had been taken. W.
At the request Of Gen. George Bell,
Jr., commanding the Ell Paso military
district, Mr.. Garcia today made prelim-
mary arrangements for the return, at
the expense of the American govern
ment, to the United States for burial,
Of the bodies Of Americans killed at
Carrizsl. No accurate figures on the
dead are available, but the missing
number is fifteen and 1t is believed all
were killed.

Felix Goutez, Mexican section labor
or, have been held without bond to
the 10 Daviess county grand jury by
the coroners jury which investigated
the killing yesterday Of John Mullen,

that the four were drinking and this
resulted in quarrel. Each Of the

WAR SUM M larry.

The Russians have forced the Aus
trians back over front of twenty-five
miles extending eastward from Kolo-
mea, in Galicia, and in the battles near
Kuty, In Bukowina, the Austrians suf-
fered heavy casualties. In addition
the Russians took 221 officers and To-
-2S5 men prisoner and large quantities
of war stores also fell into their hands.
The Russian successes in this region
apparently give them free access to
the Carpathian passes and to the rail
way line running northwest from Ko-
lomea to Lemburg, capital Of Galicia.
In Volhynia violent battles are in
progress around Linewka and Sokul.
The Germans made violent attack
on Hill 3O4, northwest Of Verdun, but
the French curtain of fire repulsed
them Intense bombardments continue
northeast of Verdun.
Along their part Of the front in
France and Belgium, the British are
bombarding German positions and
sending out raiding parties who have
inflicted losses on the Germans and
have taken a number Of prisoners.
In Trentino, the Austrians are re.
treating before the Italians who have
recaptured important positions taken
from them in the recent Austrian Of
fensive. The Italians also have start
ed a big offensive against the Aus,
trians on the eastern front, around
Monte San Michele and San Martino.
They have been repulsed at some
points, according to Vienna s~t -

CLEMENCY URGED
FOR EASEMENT

London, June 30.-The Manchester
Guardian, one of the most influential
papers in the country, makes a direct
plea for clemency for Sir Roger Case
ment.
While admitting that no other SEN
tence but that of death could have
been pronounced by the court, the
Guardian says:
Easement was a fanatic and his
crimes, like those of many other fan
atics, are free from the taint Of sordid-
ness and meanness. The death pen
atty will do nothing to kill such
dreams as his. Rather it will give
them life.
"For the sake Of the new Ireland
which we hope to see it is a moment
for clemency."
An indirect plea for mercy is made
| by other papers.

ORPET DEFENSE IS
HAVING AN INNING

Waukegan, ILL.,, June 3o.-Gale M.
Brooks. civil engineer, who said he
had surveyed and mapped Helms
woods and vicinity, took the stand for
the defense in the Orpet case today.
His map was introduced and he ex-
planned it at some length. One OF
the purposes was to show that Orpet
and Marion Lambert could have been
seen in the woods from the interurban
station and that for that reason the
woods would never have been select.
ed for deliberately planned murder.
James H. Wilkerson, chief Of coun,
sci for the defense, said that photo,
graphs also would be introduced
which would show all the way through
the woods to clear space beyond.

Order to Attack Americans

Decides CarranZa
FULL WITHDRAWAL
OF FORCES URGED
Gravity of the Situation
Not Lessened BY Release
of Captive Troopers

washington, D. c., June S0.-Pri
vate advices reaching Washington
from a reliable source in Mexico City
today said Gen. Carranza and his ad'
visers had determined to stand by or
ders of Gen. Trevino to attack Ameri,
can troops in Mexico moving In any
direction except toward the border
and that no way was seen to avoid
break with the United States.
A faction of the Mexican cabinet,
1t was said, was urging an even more
defiant attitude and wanted to include
in the reply to the American request
for a statement of intentions a new
demand Tor immediate withdrawal Of
all United States troops now on Mexi,
can soil.
The advices did not indicate when
the response from Carranza might be
expected. The last word on the sub.
ject to the state department came in
message from Special Agent Rodg.
ers who said he had expected the note
to be handed him Wednesday night
When President Wilson met with
his cabinet today just before leaving
for New York to deliver an address,
the unfavorable private reports had
not reached him.
Eliseo Arredondo, the Mexican am.
bassador designate. called on Mr.. Ian.
sing early in the day to communicate
formally that his government has or.
dered the release OF. the American
troopers captured at Carrizal. Mr..
Lansing made it plain that the Wash.
tngton government expected an early
reply to it's note forwarded to Mexi.
co City last Sunday.
All cabinet members agreed after
the meeting that both the situation
and the policy of the United States
were unchanged as result Of recent
developments. ...'rs.. '.'
Release of the captured troopers has
delayed military action but has not
relieved the critical diplomatic stu.
alton now existing. Several reports
from Special Agent Rodgers referring
to refugees on routine matters did not
mention the Mexican note, He has
had no light to shed on the probable
course Gen. Carranza would take. It
Is known, however, that Mexico City
interests which have been exerting
every effort to prevent break are
much discouraged. "a 81.
Should the Mexican reply be in de-
flance Of the United States, however
its meaning might be wrapped about
with diplomatic language, there is nc
indication that the government would
waver in it's determination to protect
the border by military operations
President Wilson probably would ar
range to lay the whole matter before
congress Immediately.

IN JOSEPHINE CO.

Theodore Roosevelt was the choice
of 92 members of the republican
party in Josephine county for pre-
sident OF the United States, that num-
ber having written his name upon
the ballot. He was also the choice Of
the six progressives who voted at the
primary election in this county. Two
of the six progressive ballots were
cast In precinct No. z OF Grants Pass.
and one each In No. s, Galice, Lucky
Queen and Wolf Creek. Under the
state law Il was necessary to print
progressive ballots for each precinct
in the county, the quantity for Jose
|phine being 1850 each OF samples
and regular ballots. The cost OF
the progressive ballots alone war
$3.50, so It can be seen that the six
votes cast cost Josephine a pretty
good price per vote.

After Ward had been killed by the
posse. officers went to the lodging
house where he had been staying.
The woman and the little girl were
both missing since newspapers print
ed ali account Of Wards end.
The fact that clippings describing
the fight Of George Nelson, bank
robber, with 200 police last Septen-
ber. were found In the lodging made
detectives believe Ward might have
been q member OF the Nelson-Bau
toff-Juber gang OF bank robbers
which operated here and in Los An
geles last year.
In his last moments. while police
bullets were crashing into his fragile
refuge and he was mortally wound
ed, Ward wrote a number Of farewell
notes. One said.
II can't move. You dogs may say
I am a bandit. though l am an an
