MONTHS OF SERVICE AHEAD
War Department Distributes Border
Patrol Indicating Months of Active
Service Along Frontier.

Notwithstanding the displomat1c
aspects of the Mexican difficulty show
no change, war department measures
for a new distribution Of the border
patrol clearly indicates that months
Of active service along the frontier
await the thousands Of national
guardsmen gathering in the south.
Only the appointment OF a general Of
fcer to supreme command is lacking
now to complete adequate administra-
tive machinery, not only for border
operations, but for a campaign OF any
desired proportions in Mexico.
There never has been any purpose,
it was said, but to withdraw complete
ly from Mexico when the de facto
government showed the willingness
and ability to furnish adequate mill.
tary protection to the border region.
That now Is being given, apparently,
in the sections from which Gen. Per-
shing has withdrawn, although 1t also
has appeared that the Mexican troops
are being disposed for the primary
purpose of making a display of force
against any ~nuthern movement by the
Americans.

DREAD DISEASE EPlDEM MIC
Average of One Death an Hour 10
Maintained BY the InfantiIe Par
alysls Epidemic.

New York.-The average Of n
death an hour has been maintained
by the infantile paralysis epidemic.
The epidemic has fastened the de-
parture Of thousands OF families who
usually leave town for the summer.
Estimates, made by the health depart
ment, of the number of children who
have been taken out Of the city since
the epidemic became serious runs as
high as $4,000.
Thus far 524 cases of the disease
have been reported to the board Of
health, and 126 persons have died. 1t
is most prevalent in the Italian quar-
ter of the southern section Of Brook
Ign, where the paralysis made its first
appearance.
High mortality continues to be the
striking feature of the epidemic, and
the death toll has reached approx
mately that OF the entire epidemic OF
1907, when $500 cases were reported.

MExICO'S OFFER ACCEPTED

Offer To Adjust Differences Be-

Washington The De facto govern.
mouf % Mexico has been informally
notified. through E0aeo A~rredondo.
Ambassador designate, that the Unit.
Cd States welcomes Gen. Carrauza,s
proposal TO adjust all pending differ,
eucos between the two governments
by direct diplomatic negotiation
Mr.. Arredondo was informed Of tho
American governments attitude In 4
conversation with Secretly Lansing
after the latter had conferred with
President Wilson. Later a formal
note will confirm the ambassadors re
wort.
ct is evident at the state department
that officials believe an opportunity
has now been presented out Of which
may come a means Of giving the de
facto government material aid in re.
storing order throughout Mexico. II
is known that tho pacific nature Of the
Mexican note which brought the cri'
sis between the governments TO an
end IL construed here as indicating
that Gen. Carranza, besides being i'm
pressed by American military prepa'
rations, has been deeply Influenced by
the pressure and argument brought to
bear on him by friends in the United
States, by European diplomats in
Mexico city and particularly by rep
rescntatiycs of many Of the Latin

NO BIDS RECEIVED

Tears-Prominent in Fra

Clarksdale.-After a strenuous seSA
sion the board of commissioners Of
the Yazoo-M Mississippi levee district ad.
journed without selling the million and
a half dollars of bonds authorized by
the last legislature, or letting con-
tracts for levee work estimated at APP
proximately a million dollars.
In compliance with advertisements
the bonds were to have been sold to
the highest bidders at the June meet
ing, and although probably a dozen
representatives Of leading bond buy
ers throughout the north we're present
at that meeting, not a single bid was
offered.
In view Of the oft repeated state
ment from bond buyers that the bond
market was never SO good as now, it
was a source of surprise that no bids
were offered at the June meeting. Un-
der the act of the legislature authoriz-
ing the bond issue, they are to bear
not over AZ per cent, and no broker
age is allowed for their sale.
The committee returned, in the
meantime advertising again for bids
at the July meeting. Practically the
same buyers were on hand, but no
formal bid was filed.

CAPT. MUlLINS DIES.
Leader of Columbus RifIemen Meets
End After Mastering In.

Columbus.-The news Of the death
Of Capt. w. S. Mullins of the Columbus
Riflemen, at Camp Swep Taylor, was
a shock to this community, bringing
sorrow and sadness to the hearts Of
countless friends in this city. Few
were aware of his illness, and only his
immediate relatives and a few friends
knew that his condition was critical.
Capt. Mullins had successfully pass
ed the rigid physical examination and
had qualified for federal service. He.
had been in the Mississippi national
guard for Is years, eight years Of
which time he served as captain of the
Columbus company. He was about 80
years of age and a native Columbian.
Capt. Mullins was prominent in fra
ternal c%ircels, having been an active
member of the Knights Of Pythias.
The remains were brought to this
city for interment.

Hetty Green Buried.

Below Falls, Vt.-The body of Mrs.
Hetty Green was buried here in the
family plot adjoining the Episcopal
Church in a grave beside that OF her
husband, Edward H. Green. A plain
granite shaft inscribed only with the

tor, Rev. Alfred c. Wilson, read the
service. At the grave there was a
simple ceremony.
Floral pieces In great numbers were
received at the church. The cards

without apparently heavy casualties,
they now face an easier task, to reach
their objective, the river itself. On

BRITISH ARE ENTHUSIASTIC
Big Drive Made BY Allies Results In
Capture Of More Than 10000
German Prisoners.

London.-The big push" Of the al
lies continues with undated energy
and increasing gains. The Germans
have been pushed steadily back until
the French are within six miles OF
Peronne, vital point on the main feed
ing railroad of the Germans and the
center Of a system of radiating high
roads. They have captured the village
Of Curlu and Fraz and have broken
into the German second line Of de-
lenses at a number Of points. The
British have captured the village OF
Fricourt and pushed further eastward
toward the Bapaume-Peronne high
road, which is now less than seven
miles away.
In the first Sc hours of their Picardy
drive the French and British had cap
tured more than $500 German prison
ers, cleared so square miles of French
territory Of the invaders and have
carried II villages on a complicated
series of entertainments and redoubts,
which the Germans have been more
than 20 months constructing.
The British public still displays the
same quiet enthusiasm, determination
and confidence, fully understanding
that no great drive like that carried
out by the Russian general, Brussilloff,
is possible against the formidably or
ganized German front, and that great
sacrifices and possible setbacks must
be prepared for.
