WON'T DECLARE WAR.
Carranza Still Further Revises His
Early Statement

Mexico City, June 20.-The streets and
public squares of the capital were
thronged all yesterday. afternoon with
patriotic parades, who marched to the
various public offices, led by bands and
carrying the national emblems as evil
dence OF their willingness to defend the
country's honor and dignity in case of a
foreign war.
More than 10000 persons gathered in
the great square bounded by the cathe-
dral and municipal palaces, where they
were addressed by General Carranza and
War Minister Obregon and other mem
bers of the government General Car
rama told the assembled throng that
Mexico was not seeking war; but would
not avoid it at the cost of national dig
nifty.
Mexico" said General Carranza, "will
not declare war on the United States,
but will know how to do her duty if
hostilities are forced upon her"
A meeting of the Mexican workingmen
was held and decided to
send commission of workmen to Pied
ras Negras TO confer with committee
from the American Federation of Labor
and to use every effort to prevent war
between the United States and Mex.

DRIVING AUsTRIANs ON.
Victorious Russians Continue to Capture
Prisoners.

London, June 20.-Having captured
Czernowitz. capital OF Bukowina, the
Russians are well on their way from that
city and from various points along the
river Pruth, driving the Austrians before
them toward the Sereth river and the
Carpathian mountain passes.
Numerous additional prisoners have
been captured by the Russians in their
drive, and more guns, machine guns, am
munition and foodstuffs have fallen into
their hands. petrograd sets the number
of prisoners taken for the day at 5000.
Heavy lighting il still in progress to
the north, in Galigia and Nolhynia, with
the Russians generally on the offensive,
but with the Austro. Hungarians and the
Germans tenaciouslv battling against
their further advance.
In the region south of the Pripet
marshes, to the west of Kolki, and along
the Stokhod river, where the Kovel .Kov-
no railway crosses the stream, the Rus.
sian attacks have been partly repulsed
by the German General Won Linsingen's
forces. according to Berlin, while north
west of Lutsk the battle is going in ia
yor OF the Germans.
Petrograd admits the penetration of
the Russiaa lines by the Austrians west
Of Lutsk, near the town of Lakatchi. but
says that the Russians later retrieved
this setback
The announcement OF fighting in this
region would indicate that the drive in
Volhynia has brought the Russians TO
within 20 miles of Vladimir -Volnsk, the
head of the railway running north
through Kovel
Along the Galician border near Rad
siviloff the Russians announce the cap.
.ure of 1900 prisoners. Berlin reports
The situation OF the Teutonic allies in
northern Galicia, near Buczacz, as un-
,hanged.

Special Agent Rodgers at Mexico City
notified the state department to-day that
he was arranging for special trains to
take American and other foreigners
from Mexico City to Vera Cruz. He
said that he would remain at his post.
His message told about many anti for
eign demonstrations, parades and mass
meetings in the Mexican capital and of
increasing bitter sentiment. No open
acts of violence were reported
Official reports from many quarters
show that a flame of popular feeling
against the United States is being kim
died throughout Mexico. Apparently it
is being done with the sanction of Gen.
Caranza. for the acts in many cases
are those of his authorized military or
civil agents.
From Juarez to the west coast of Mex
leo, posters have appeared calling the
people to arms, and asserting that the
United States is preparing to hurl its
arms into Mexico. Chaotic conditions
prevail everywhere, it is said. Clashes
such as that between Mexican troops
and American blueiackets at Mazatlsn
Sunday show that relations are strained
TO the breaking point.
The act Of q subordinate commander
anywhere may bring on fighting that
will result in war.
Increasing uneasiness over the plight
OF some 5000 American civilians now
IN Mexico was manifested in official
quarters. approximately 1900 Of that
number are in Mexico City, despite warn
ing after warning through American con
suis and other officials.
Officials do not believe the Carranza |
government would sanction an attack 4
on American residents or that other for /
eigners would be involved in any case.
A weapon OF terrible possibilities is be-
ing forged in Mexico, however. with the
attempts 70 incite the ignorant pcon pop
ulafion to q war-lke feeling against the
United States. Mobs formed BY half
starved natives. who have been told that
al Of Msxico's accumulated troubles are
trscssble to the Americans, might well
precipitste q situation beyond control 1
of the government.
Careful preparation has been made for

WORK ON THE LAWN

How are the lawn and home grounds in general? Are they all that should make summer home life enjoy. able and pleasing sight to the pass. erby?
 If the lawn is patchy and bare in spots, keep on seeding it the whole summer through; the seed will final ly catch and fill up the bare places.
 White clover is fine lawn plant, but many find that it dies out after a few years. White clover, as all the clovers, is a biennial, completely dy. ing after the second year. If the lawn is kept closely clipped, white clover seed should be sown each fall oI spring to insure a permanent stand.
 The same result may be secured by not moving in the fall, allowing the plants to blossom and seed.

DON'T INTERFERE WITH SoWS
Difficulty Is Rare Trouble With Hogs Premature Medding Often
 Proves Expensive.

Difficulty in farrowing the pigs is a very rare SOW trouble; likely more sows have been killed by interference than have died of neglect. Farrow- ing is by no means always continu- ous performance embracing two hours or so, but may be extended over half day or longer; in fact, sows have been observed to farrow pigs through out the entire A hours. Premature interference has often caused the trou- ble that the farmer attributed to diff cult parturition.

Paris. = The Thiaumont work, around which some of the bloodiest fighting of the war has taken place, has been captured by the Germans for the fourth time, according to the official statement issued by the French war office
 The French have advanced south and east of Assevillers, where they have captured a wood and the villages of Barleux and Belloy- Ems -Santerre They also have taken the greater part of the village of Estrees, where 500 prisoners fell into their hands.
 The text of the official statement follows:
 North of the Somme the day pass ed quietly in the whole section occu- pied by the French troops.
 South of the Somme, in spite of bad weather, which interfered with our operations, we extended our posi- the south and east. We captured woods in the neighborhood of Assevil- lers and the villages of Barieux and lloy-En-Santerre, which we hold in entirety Estrees also has fallen Inco our hands, with the exception of small part, where the Germans are still resisting. In the region of Els, trees alone we took 500 prisoners.
 "On the left bank of the Mouse an artillery struggle is proceeding in the region of Avocourt and Hill 304.
 "On the right bank of the Mouse the Germans redoubled their efforts in the region of Thiaumont, on which since midday they directed bombardment of great violence with guns of big caliber. About o'clock, after several assaults had been repulsed, a massed attack was launched on the work and succeeded in capturing 1t the fourth time. Our troops maintain their posi- tions in the immediate neighborhood of the work An intense artillery fire was directed by the enemy in Dam loup and La Laufee. No event of importance occurred on the rest of the front

KEEP LITTLE CHICKS CLEAN
Cleanliness Must Be Observed Before Youngster Leaves Nest-Use
 Insect Powder.

Without absolute cleanliness and plenty of sunshine it is impossible to obtain perfect success in raising young chickens. Cleanliness must be- gin before the young chicken leaves it's nest, in fact it should begin with the making of the nest and the placing of the eggs therein.
 The nest boxes should be filled about two inches deep with loose earth or sod and new, clean straw should be used for the top filling. Before the hen is allowed to sit on the eggs she should be thoroughly dusted with powder, care being taken that the powder reaches every portion of the body, particularly under the legs and wings. This process should be repeated every ten days, the last dust ing to be given just before the chicks are to come out.
 As soon as the young chicks appear before they are two days old-a tiny bit of vaseline should be rubbed with the finger on the head and under each wing. Care must be used not to smear them too much as it will work an injury to the tender chick ems.
 Young chickens should never be al- lowed to run in an old yard, that is,
