AlTedondo Demands U. S.
Explain Attack at Carrizal.

Washington, June 22.-An off
cial communication from the Mex
lean foreign office, announcing tn,
clash between Mexican and Amer
lean troops at Carrizal and say
ing the defactor gvernment founo
it difficult to understand why the
Americans should have been st
far away from their base, was de
livered to Secretary Lansing to-
day by Elisea Arredondo, the Mex.
lean ambassador designate.
The communication telegraphed
by Gen. Aguilar ,Carranza' for
eign minister, follows:
PLEASE bring to the attention
Of the department Of state that an
engagement occurred today
(twenty -frst) at Carrizai, near
Villa Ahumada, Chihuahua, be-
tween American forces number
ing about 200 men with force
Of our government during which
engagement Gen. Felix. Gomez and
several Of our troops were killed.
There were several casualties
among American troops, II taken
prisoners.
According to the statement
made blythe interpreter who was
acting as guide for the Americ an
fsrcek the commander Of the lat
t3r is responsible for the encoun-
ter. !. .~. -
4flease make proper repre-
to the department and
say to the secretary Of state that
this government finds it difficult
to understand why the American
troops that took part in the en-
"agement should have been at
Carrizal, a point on the line Of the
Mexican Central Railroad some
distance from Ciudad Juarez, and
rather far from the point which
is alleged to be the base of the
troops which entered
by Columbus. Further
details will follow
From the tone as well as the
contents of this commune alton Of |
lcials drew the impression that
Carranza desired to disclaim re-
'ponsibility for the affair, and
make it plain that no attempt had
)een made to carry out his threat |

conflict, but seem to Indicate that
the Americans were trapped or
ambushcd and suffered their chief
losses from machine gun fire.
: 1t is presumed Gen. Pershing
promptly dispatched reinforce
ments, including artillery. to aid
the cavalry detachment if it was
still engaged with tte Mcxicans
or it's lines of retirement mcnaced.
No reports have come from Gen.
Funston, however, indicating that
he had knowledge of additional
troop movements or was prepar-
ing to send more men to Pershlng.
Secretary Baker said no march,
ing orders had gone to national
guard units. Nothing could be
done, he declared, until a report
fro mAmerican sources had been
received.

Mr.. ArredOndO also sought an
explanation of the reported action
Of Gen. Perishing in occupying the
towns of Casas Grandes and NeuvO
Casas Grandes, saying such an act
would be an act Of open hostility.

Official Mexican dispatches
were described to Secretary Lans-
ing Indicating that the Mexican
forces thought the American
troops who approached Carrizal
intended to take the town. Mr..
Arredondo said he called Secre-
tary Lansing's attention to the
distance traversed by the Ameri-
can troops from their base and to
what he called "the lack of pru-

The Hollis land Loan Bill.

The measure just driven through the senate
by the Wilson administration, under pretense
OF providing a land loan bill for the benefit OF
the farmers. will not relieve the pressure on the
agricultural industry by making its financial
operations any the more faclle. In effect the
bill will provide a safe and attractive invest
ment for money by authorizing the issuance of
debenture bonds secured by first mortgage on
improved farm lands. These bonds will be
more attractive than any now known. for they
will carry higher rate Of interest than the
government pays. will be readily convertible
and almost totally guaranteed by the govern
ment Devices and provisions for the safety of
the investor are sup@- perfect.
But the farmer will not get his money any
cheaper. The proposed rate does not give him
the advantage afforded the jobber or manufac-
turer under the federal reserve law, nor can he
take his credits to the land bank and secure
loan on them. lie must go with clear land,
under use and productive. with an unencum-
bered title, and then will be allowed but so per
cent OF It's appraised valuation on longtime
mortgage. Nothing in the bill will operate 20
aid the little fellow, tho farmer struggling TO
clear his title, to improve his farm or to finance
hla operations untl he can market his produce
al profit.
No measure proposed by the present admin
lstraion in its program falls farther short OF
lts purpose than does this makeshift Its worst
effect will be TO discourage the farmers Of tho
country in their budding efforts toward fnanc-
lng their own affairs. Instead Of law that
would permit the establishment ~ cooperative
banks that would aid the farmer the Hollis bin
simply shifts the farm mortgage business from
private agencies 70 hanks that will still operate

About Playground supervision.
OMAHA. May $40 the Editor of The
Bee | noticed an article recently in your
paper In which tho Recreation board was
criticised for the manner in which II Sc
leeted candidates 10 take examination
for position as playground supervisors.
signed BY two men as officers OF
Playground club They say thu critl-
clsm IN not directed at the candidates
which the board selected, but simply at
the manner in which they we're chosen
The fact iB these gentlemen are pro-
testing AZ somebody's request, because
the selection was not made entirely from
the students Of tho so-callod playground
Institute" with which the Board Of Rec
reation had nothing whatever 70 do, II
being conducted by other parties. AZ the
outset, when the boards play director
proposed to hold this institute under
the direction Of the board, the members
thought II inadvisahlc to do so, as II
would only create a host Of dissatisfied
people that would be unable TO secure
positions as playground supervisors The
fact Is. only twelve or thirteen are 10 be
chosen and II the entire number were
10 be given an examination the dIssatis-
faction would only be that much keener
as no doubt 10 per cent Of them would
prove 20 be Of excellent qualifications
However. what seems queer 70 me 10
that the two gentlemen signing the above
referred TO article are heard from the
first time IN the history Of Omaha on a
playground subject and then In crit
leising manner. They say they have been
working quietly for years to establish 4
playground system In Omaha. The people
Of Omaha can easily believe this, as they
have been working so quietly that no one
ever knew that they were interested In
the matter Of Fairgrounds Now, then,
that Omaha has a creditable Fairgrounds
system established. these gentlemen come
forward and knock the earnest efforts Of
the officials in charge to build up the
system
The members Of the Recreation board
are "non-salaried" Officials and are CIV.
ing their valuable time and earnest ef-
forts to build up our playground system.
