SIGNALING DURING CIVIL WAR
Troops Moved Too Quickly to Admit
Possibility of Wiewagging or
Telegraphing.

"COuriers at Verdun replace .tele.
phones" was newspaper headline.
And that reminded ]. E. Hyneman,
who was one of the "eyes of the army
of the Potomac" about the days in
front of Richmond 81 years ago. He
was in the signal corps, and he tells
me that it was often impossible to wig
wag messages to the generals, or even
telegraph to them, owing to the quick
movements of an army.
"During the battle of Petersburg"
said this veteran the other day, accord
ing to Girard in the Philadelphia
Ledger, II was on duty at the signal
tower on the left of our lines. Mes
sages came to this station principally
from General Meade. 1t was neces-
sary to send them to the front by
courier.
81 was especially detailed to keep
track of General Wright, commander
of the Sixth army corps, and deliver
to him all messages. Just before sun
down carried my last one to him from
Meade.
General Wright's answer, given or
ally, was this: Tell General Meade
1 am looking into the streets Of Pc.
tersburg and expect to go into the city
at daylight tomorrow
"But Richmond fell and the army of
the Potomac moved into Petersburg
that night"
Mr.. Hyneman said that he had COM
pletely exhausted three horses that day
and General Wright sent back to the
signal tower with him two orderlies
with fresh mounts.
"One of these men," continued this
old soldier, rode all night with mes
sage for General Sheridan. 1t was
from Grant"
That was one of those final words
which led 'Little Phil" out in front OF
Lees retreating graycoats at Appomat'
tox and brought the surrender.

Cocktails Fatal to Digestion.

Begin dinner with soup, especially
If you are tired or weak. Even the
hors d'Oeuvres are condemned by the
best physicians. And as for cocktail
or the sherry and bitters just before
the meal, that is fatal to good diges-
tion. 1t is a shock to the stomach-a
shock that a healthy stomach never
needs and one that is most injurious
to weak stomach. If it creates an
appetite this is a false appetite.
Resides, cocktail destroys the deli
cate perception of the palate, and if
good wine is to be served with the din
ner its quality is not appreciated by
the man who has just drunk a cock
tail.

BUSINESS IN j. S.
At HIGH TIDE.
Factories Have Orders Enough
to Run a Year at Maximum.
ATTITUDE MORE CAUTIOUS
Agricultural Conditions Fair, With
Nearly All Other Elements In
the Situation FavorabIe--En-
creased Wages For Labor.

Washington, Business activity in
the United States, according to reports
submitted to the Federal Reserve
Board by officials Of the IL reserve
banks, has now reached its high tide
with factories having enough orders
booked to tax their maximum capacity
for year.
The Federal Reserve Board, in max
ing public the commercial surveys of
the reserve bank officials, summarized
them as follows:
General business and banking con-
ditions reported by Federal reserve
agents in the IL Federal reserve dis
tricts as of May % or Whereabouts in
dictate, in general, that business ac-'
tivity In the United States has perhaps
reached the maximum of the present
movement. Orders covering factory
outputs to the end of the year at maxi
mum capacity, a more cautious attitude
as to the future, considerable unrest on
the part Of labor, even where most
highly compensated. and slightly less
favorable outlook in respect to some
of the growing crops are the chief con-
tributing reasons.
"On the other hand, more favorable
crop conditions are reported in some
districts, even though the spring has
been generally very late. Mines and
oil wells are exceedingly active Lum-
Der and building show great activity,
although the latter is in some sections
somewhat affected by labor conditions.
There is hardly any perceptible
hardening of money rates, and the sup
ply of loanable funds continues more
than ample Railroad earnings, where
not injuriously affected by congestion
at seaports, are generally excellent,
and the only bad signs in this industry
are in the impending labor difficulties.
Postofice and other similar receipts
appear to be a maximum everywhere.
The Richmond reserve bank district,
composed of Maryland, Virginia, North
and South Carolina and West Virginia,
reports normal conditions, with in
creases in many lines. The summary
of conditions of the district is, in part,
as follows:
Agricultural conditions are report
ed fair. Crops are somewhat back
ward, owing to late spring and dry
weather. Wheat and oats are not as
good as last year, but more corn and
oats are reported planted than ever be-
fore. Farmers are getting out of
their old habits of sending money
away for hay, -four and other staple
articles, raising more home supplies.
using the money saved to buy more
land and improve it. Cotton acreage
has been probably increased by about
10 per cent. Tobacco manufacturers
report an increase in business for the
past four months over 1915. Increased
wages have satisfied labor. Lumber
dealers report only fair conditions, and
the import and export trade is handi-
capped by the lack of freight room and
high rates"

London.--In a terrific naval battle
of the Coast of Jutland on May 81 the
Germans sank IA British warships, 8
battle cruisers (the Invincible, Queen
Mary and Indefatigable), light eruis-
ers and destroyers.
The German Admiralty claims the
additional loss of the dreadnaught
Warspite, but alta late hour the British
Admiralty does not include the vessel
in its list of losses. The British re-
port mentions the light cruiser War
rior, not yet claimed by the Germans.
The German losses are the battle
cruiser Doerffiinger. the pre-dread-
naught Pommern, the small cruisers
Frauenlob and Wiesbaden and several
destroyers.
Zeppelins took part in the conflict
which ragged during the afternoon of
Wednesday and until daybreak on
Thursday
There are no accurate reports of
loss Of life, but there is no doubt that
several thousand officers and men per-
ished. The British ships lost were
manned by approximately 1000 men,
more than 1900 men were aboard the
German vessels put down.
The British ships lost cost approx
imately $70.O0O.000 to build. the Ger
man ships $20,o0e,O00.

CARRANZA SENDS
A SHARP NOTE.
Asks Immediate Withdrawal Of
Americans.
THREATENS RESORT TO ARMS
Crossing the Border Is Declared To
Be Practically intervention and
.. Violation OF Mexican
Sovereignty.

Mexico City.-Claiming that the,
words and protests of the United
States have been entirely in contradic.
ton of their acts and that in spite or
protests not to intervene in the af-.
fairs of Mexico, soldiers of the United
States are in Mexico without the con-.
sent of the Mexican government and
In violation of Mexico's sovereignty,
the Mexican government now asks for
the immediate withdrawal of those
troops. The request is made in H.
000-word note made public at the
Foreign Office
The note recites that the American
troops crossed the border after the;
Columbus incident without the per-
mission of the Mexican government
The act was NOT considered one of in
yasion then solely because the United
States said they had misinterpreted
the attitude of the Mexican govern
ment. When the second expedition
crossed the line after the Glenn
Springs incident, the note maintains.
the plea that this was.-done with the
consent of the Mexican consul at Del
Rio, Tex. is untenable, and that act
can only be considered as one OF in
vasion.
The Mexican government, thsre
fore, invites the United States to bring
to an end this unsupportable situa-
tion," the note concludes, land to sup
port its protestations and declarations
of friendship by an immediate with
drawal of American troops" :
Maintaining that the protests OF
friendship by the United States and
the expressed desire for non-interven-
ton has been contradicted by the acts
Of the Washington government, the
note says the time has arrived when
Washington must declare itself clearly
and unequivocally as to its future in
tentions toward Mexico.
After reciting the, facts which led to
the first crossing of the frontier By the
American troops after the Villa raid
at Columbus, the note insists that in
contradiction of the word of Genesals,
Scott and Funston, another expedition
crossed the boundary line thus violat-
ing all the precepts of international
law and committing an act of invasion
1.-THE American government says
the note, has admitted that the work
of the expedition which entered after
the Columbus raid is now over But
in spite of this fact, American troops
still remain on Mexican soil. To con-
tend that political disorder in this
country justifies this act of the Ameri-
can military forces is in conflict with
the repeated professions of the Wash
ington government relative to non-in-
reference"
