FEASTER GOES TO SENECA.

Lancaster, May 3O.-William L.
Feaster of Union, who has been the
popular and efficient principal of the
Lancaster high school department. of
the Central graded school during the
past two years and who was unani-
roously reelected here last week for
another session, filed his resignation
with the board of trustees yesterday
in order to accept the principalship
of the Seneca school which has been
rendered him. This is larger and
more lucrative field of pedagogical
work than is the Lancaster position
which for many reasons he surrenders
with great reluctance, and goes to his
new field only because of the distinct
line of promotion which it offers to
him. Prof. Feaster, during his two
years of school work in Lancaster,
has made many warm friends whose
support and cooperation he maintain
ed at all times. His record here as
teacher and educator is an un-
usually fine one, and the trustees of
the school and the patrons generally
are exceedingly loath to give him up.
Mr.. Feaster is an honor graduate of
Furman university and is a young
teacher of marked ability. He is uni
versally liked by the Lancaster people
who will watch his career in Seneca
withJa great deal of interest and con-
Germ.

CARRANzA CALLS FOR
TROOP WITHDRAWAL
First Chief Makes Yelled Threats
of Armed Resistance to SOL
dieEs - Charges America
With Unfair DeaI-Asks
Immediate Removal.

mexico City, May 31.-Clalmlng
that the words and protestations of
the United States have been entirely
in contradiction of their acts and that
in spite of protests not to intervene
in the affairs of Mexico soldiers of
the United States are in Mexico with
out the consent of the Mexican gov
ern and in violation of Mexico's SOW
ereignty, the Mexican government
now asks for the immediate with
drawal of these troops. The request
is made in 10000 word note made
public at the foreign office today about
noon.
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
invasion then solely because the
United States said it had misinter-
preted the attitude of the Mexican
government. When the second expe-
dition crossed the line after the
Glenn Springs incident, the note
maintains, the plea that this was done
with the consent of the Mexican con-
sui at Del Rio, Texas, is untenable
and that act can only be considered
as one of invasion.
Asks for Change.
"The Mexican government, there
fore, invites the United States to
bring to an end this unsupportable
situation" the note concludes, "and
to support its protestations and dec
larations of friendship by an immedi-
ate withdrawal of American troops
Maintaining that the protestations
of friendship by the United States
and the expressed desire for non-in-
tervention have been contradicted by
the acts of the Washington govern
ment, the note says the time has ar
rived when Washington must declare
itself clearly and unequivocally as to
its future intentions towards 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 in
sists that in contradiction of the word
of Gen. Scott and Gen. Funston an
other expedition crossed the boun-
Diary line, thus violating all the pre-
cepts of international law and com
mitting an act of invasion.
Calls 1t Interference.
"The American government" saws
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 tine
American military forces is in con.
fict with the repeated professions OF
the Washington government relative
to non-interference."
The note points out that much OF
the trouble in Mexico is due "to tn.
attitude of the United States in not
furnishing conspirators in the United
States who have plotted the downfall
of the present constitutionalist gov.
ernment and to the acts of Washing.
ton in refusing to permit the ship.
