WAR IS UP TO CARRANzA
President Wilson Dispatches Note To
First Chief-At Least 100000
Militia ls Being Modified.


Washington.-The question of war
with Mexico now hinges upon Gen.
Carranza's reception of q stern no.
fusal to heed his demands for recall
OF Gen. Pershing's troops, In the opin-
ion OF President Wilson's close advis-
ers. They were prepared for the pos
sibility Of open hostilities after the
note, which was sent forward June
20, has reached Carranza's hands.
No indication has come that the
first chiefs attitude of implacable hos.
tility would be shaken by the reiterat.
ed declaration of the latest communi-
cation that the United States has no
aggressive or warlike purpose toward
Mexico, but is firmly resolved to pro-
tect her borders and end brigandage
near the international line.
Although It had been planned to
send the United States note by spe-
cial messenger to Mexico City, the
situation has changed, and II was
handed to Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican
ambassador designate.
While the diplomatic steps were in
progress, the nation was stirring with
the movement of national guardsmen
mobilizing to guard the border. AT
least 100000, and possibly a far larger
number, we're preparing for active
service under President Wilson's call.
For the present their mission will be
purely one of defense; but should war
come, they will be ready.
No marching orders for the new
forces had gone out up to June 10.
They will not be assigned for border
duty until mustered into the federal

ed, only such units will be ordered
south as Gen. Funston desires to fill
the gaps in his 1,SO0-mileguard line
The remainder will rest on their arms
at the state mobilization camps for
the present, awaiting events.

One day between the Lip and the Heart
wordless strife arose,
Which was expertest in the art
His purpose to disclose.
The Lip called forth the vassal Tongue,
And made him vouch--a lie.
The slave his servile anthem sung,
And braved the listening sky.
The Heart to speak in vain essayed
Nor could his purpose reach
His will nor voice nor tongue obeyed
His silence was his speech. q.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Treatment of tuberculosis

What Is good diet for a tuberculosis pa.
tient? Is milk good? Should it be taken
cold, cow.warm. or boiled? Are raw eggs
better than soft.boiled eggs? Is wooden or
cotton underwear preferable? How much
exercise should he take? What is the doc
tors name that claims he has n tubercu
losis cure?
Answer-The diet should include a full
variety of all ordinary foods. Milk is
good, however you like IL best Raw eggs
are in no sense preferable to cooked eggs
In general, woolen underwear Is better
light weight knitted goods The amount
of exercise should be determined largely
by the temperature; when fever is present
rest is the thing. The Doctors name ia
