BUSINESS IN j. S.
At HIGH TIDE
Factories Have Orders Enough

Observation-Disclosures activity in
the United States. according to reports
submitted to the Federal Reserve
Board by officials Of the - reserve
banks, has now reached its high tide
with factories having enough orders
booked TO tax their maximum capacity
for a 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

as to the future, considerable unrest on
the part Of labor, even where most
highly compensated, and a slightly less
favorable outlook in respect to some

districts, even though the spring has
been generally very late. Mines and
oil wells are exceedingly active. Llm-
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.
PostoGice 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"

The long.expected clash between the
German and British battle fleets has
occurred in the North Sea, and the
British Navy has suffered probably the
greatest disaster in It's history in the
greatest battle ever fought between
modern sea fighters,
At the bottom Of the North Sea, of
the west coast OF Northern Denmark,
lie at least three British battle cruis-
ers, three cruisers and eight torpedo
boats, and the German battleship
Pommern and two small German cruis-
ers and a number Of German torpedo
craft. Several thousand or more Brit
ish officers and men perished.
Great Britain admits the loss Of bat
tie cruisers and cruisers with a ton
mage OF 114.S10-represented by the
battle cruisers Queen Mary, Inde-
fatigable and Invincible, and the cruis-
ers Defence, Black Prince and Warrior.
Germany's losses, in addition to the
Pommern. were the Wiesbaden and
Frauenlob, both the latter small cruis-
ers, and several torpedo boats.
The Germans claim, In addition TO
the admitted losses Of Great Britain,
that the British battleshlp Warspite,
OF the largest type in the British Navy,
was sunk. that the battleship Marl-
borough was hit by a torpedo and that
two cruisers Of the Achilles type (the
Warrior IS OF this CLASSY and one sub
marine were sent to the bottom.
The British Admiralty adds 10 the
conceded losses by Germany two
dreadnaughts Of the Kaiser class-ves-
sells Of 24,7OO tons-desroyed. the
blowing up OF one battle cruiser. the
damaging Of two other vessels Of this
class and the rammins and sinking Of

Two or more Zeppellns aided the
Germans, Il IS reported. largely by
dropping bombs upon the British war
ships.
This greatest Of sea battles was
fought Wednesday afternoon and

|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.-Ciaimlng that tho
words and protests OF the United
States have been entirely in contradic.
tion Of their acts and that in spite Of
protests not to intervene in the sf-
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 tao
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
tie 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.
Yasion.
THE Mexican government, there
fore, invites the United States to bring
to an end this unsupportable situa.
tion." the note concludes, "and 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.interyen-
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 recitlng 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 Generals
Scott and Funston, another expedition
crossed the boundary line thus violat.
ing all the precepts of international
law and committing an act of invasion.
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 justiies this act of the Ameri-
can military forces Is in conflict with
the repeated professions OF the Wash.
