Of American troopers on MeNican soil.
The lesiurely manner in which the
Carranza government has been con-
Quoting negotiations with the State
Department since troops entered Mex
leo. leads 10 the belief that no haste
will be made in the now diplomatic
exchanges.
Mexican sources today declared
there was no cause for alarm in bor-
der reports OF the mobilization Of
Carranza troops in the north, near
the Texas and New Mexican borders
Declaring the crossing OF the Mexi-
can border never has been formally
agreed TO by the Carranza govern
ment. the note makes this declaration
perhaps the most important OF It's
contents

the present all discussion OF negotia-
tiOns in this particular"
"The disoccupation" Of Mexico Is
asked on the ground that Villas band
has been dispersed and Carranza's
forces are able to complete the task Of
determination.
Frank admission OF the difficulty
raised by Carranza was made in Off
cial circles Possibility Of a misun-
derstanding OF negotiations as far as
they have gone is suggested, in the
light OF the quoted phrase from Presi-
dent Wilson's the expedition was or
dered under an agreement with the
de facto government Of Mexico"
Under no preteXt whatever would
we order an invasion OF that repub-
lie or a violation OF its soversignty."
the Mexican note continues, quoting
the President. but indicates the be-
lief OF Carranza that this has been
done nevertheless.
Faced with the nations demand
that Villa be captured. with no great
regard for technicalties. yet feeling
that one mistake may undo the four
years Of diplomacy intended TO estab-
lish good feeling between the two
nations and confirm peace in Mexico,
Il was felt at the White House that
the situation would require exceeding
ly careful handling. Confidence was
expressed that 1t would be handled
successfully.

: that it's time for she two countries
to come to terms as TO the withdrawal
of the Americans and the assumption
Of pursuit Of the villa band bv Car

the United States formal permission to
cross the hordcr only in cuse the mas.
sacres were repeated.
Mexico considered, when il learned OF
General Pcrshing'- punitive expedition
that the jnitod States had placed a
wrong Interpretation on its proposal
Therefore, says the note, the Mexican
agent called mu Counselor Polk. of the
state Department. who informed the
Mexican agent that the nitcd States
had taken the Mexican proposal TO give
permission for the expedition. and he
doplorcd the fact that the United
States had not received Mexican ox-
plantations To- the contrary.
Thereupon, says the note. there was
an exchange OF notes between the
two governments. in which Secretary
Lansing himself expressed his extreme
regret as to the situation. After fur
ther negotiations back and forth. II
says, I'm which the United States re-
peatedly admitted its awkward posi-
ton and expressed Us regret. IL was
agreed that the troops already IN
Mexico might remain there pending
the completion Of another agreement,
uy Whlch tue MEXICAN government was
TO give them permission.
The -ote again specifies that the
proposal Carranza made after the Co
lumbus incident did not give the per-
mission required by the United States.
Carranza was assured, says the
note. that In issuing the privilege Of
entering his territory. the United
States forces would conhne their op-
erations only to the object of the ex-
pedition.
The note then concludes that Mexi-
co considers the object Of the eXpedi-
ton" has been accomplished. in that
Villas band has been dispersed and
defeated: and i'm that Carranza forces
are themselves now amply able to
finish the determination OF the
bandits.
Therefore. the United States is
formally notified that Mexico will not
complete the proposed second agree
ment. The United States Is further
reminded that the punitive expedition
has no legal standing in its invasion
Of Mexican territory any longer; and
that the First Chief considers il Is
already time TO treat with the United
States government for the withdrawal
of its forces.

BAD JOKE.

BAD JOKE.
'AlcOhol as a food is q joke, and
rather a bad joke at that" affirms DR..
Woods Hutchinson.
"AlcohOl does not do for us a single
one of the things we think it does,
and it does score of other things
which we have no idea of when we
drink 1t.
Thirty years ago we were blandly
confident that alcohol was food be-
cause 1t could be burned in the body.
Now, we know that the total amount
of alcohol which can be burned in the
body in "a hours is only two
ounces, which would be about the same
amount Of energy as one good slice Of
bread and butter; that Is to say, about
one-tenth of the fuel required to keep
US alive.
eff we were to attempt to use al
cohol as a serious source of nourish-
ment we should be blind drunk be-
fore we had taken more than one
fifth of the amount needed for a days
rations.
Moreover, even in the small amount
which can be daily consumed and
burned up in the body, its poisonous
effects are at least so per cent greater
than its food value.
1t throws the body engine out Of
gear almost twice as much as it puts
fuel into its fire-box. The amount Of
malt taken with it in beer and fruit
sugars in wine are so trifling as to be
not worth counting in our days food
supply"
