GET MOREY'S VERSION
Survivor of Carrizal Says Americans
Might Be to Blame.

Washington, June 2S.-An interview
with Captain Morey, survivor of the
Carrizal battle, was forwarded to the
war department today. 1t Indicated
as his letter and other interviews had,
that perhaps the American forces were
in part responsible for the clash with
MeXicans.
Inasmuch as Morey was not present
at the parley between Captain Boyd
and Mexican Commander Gomez, how
ever. Secretary Baker refused to re-
gard it as the final word on the situa-
ton. A board of officers, he indi-
Gated will be chosen to summarize the
testimony on the battle and to gain
whatever possible information can be
heard from surviving officers.
The Morey report was taken to
President ilson during the day. The
president held that Carranza's answer
to the last demands. however. is the
real determining element of the entire
problem, rather than the matter OF
caused the Carrizal battle

OPPOSED TO WAR
Argentine Ambassador Gives
Interview on Mexican Crisis.
His Country for Peace in Amer
lea Above Everything.

NEW YORK, June 22S.-Hope for a
between the United States and Mexico
in the interests of Americanism was
expressed today by DIR. Romulo S. Non,
Argentine amba ssador at Washington.
In a statement to the press, the am
bassador said he had not made any
formal offers of mediation on behalf
of his government, but expressed the
belief that war will be yet avoided.
His statement follows:
Il have made no offer. but it is I'M
cessary to say that the Argentine
government is always disposed to work
for the peace of America
Observation-Disclosures, which is vital
for all the countries of the continent,
whether great or small, strong or
weak, makes war between two Ameri-
can nations utterly inconceivable. I
am in candor confident that the pres
ent crisis will be peacefully settled.
Union Essential.
I'VE must make evident that no
matter how great the differences be-
tween two American governments, the
continental interest of union and con-
cord are supreme and inconsistent
with recourse to violence as a means
of settling international disputes in
America.
THE Argentine people and govern
ment are following this conflict with
the deepest concern and, notwith-
standing the acuteness of the crisis,
trust that the inspiration of a sound
far-sighted political sense will pre-
vail in these hours so full of peril for
| the destinieS of the continent"

GROUND TOO Wet
Harvest and Other Farm Work
Delayed This Week.
Several Good Growing Days,
Says Weather Bureau.

There were several good growing
days in Kansas this week and very
few counties received more than an
inch of rain, but the ground was so
wet that all farm work was delayed
except in the extreme western coun-
ties, says the summary of weather and
crop conditions in Kansas, issued by
the weather bureau for the week end
ing Tuesday.
Drying weather that will enable the
farmers to harvest wheat and Guilt
vato corn is the greatest need at the
present time.
Wheat harvest was in full swing in
the South-central and southeastern
counties until stopped by rains on
Saturday and Sunday nights. 1t has
able condition in the northeastern
counties but so far the damage is not
considered serious.
Oats are ripening fast and ready for
the binder in the southeastern coun-
ties.
Corn Uneven and Weedy.
Corn made a good growth in all
parts of the state but it is very uneven.
In some of the southern counties the
early planted is tasseling but in other
places the crop is barely a foot high
and in the northeastern counties there
cultivated the second time In the
eastern half of the state the continued
wet weather has resulted in many
weedy fields both of corn and sorghum
crops. In the western part the fields
are clean and this week was consid-
cred to be one of the most favorable
of the season.
Hay Crops Good.
The second crop of alfalfa is grow
ing nicely and ready to cut in many
places but its harvest has been delayed
by unfavorable weather and the rush
| of other work. In the eastern coun-
ties about half the red clover has been
cut and timothy hay is nearly ready
Both are heavy crops.
| Digging early potatoes has begun in
all parts and the bulk of the CROP
will soon be moving in the Kaw valley
1t is generally considered to be one OF
| the biggest the state has ever had
| Early cabbage and tomatoes are ready
for the market in southern counties
and some apples are beginning to be
matured enough for cooking. The
bulk of the raspberry crop in the
northeastern counties will soon be
picked. Early blackberries are ripen-
