Washington, June 12.-In a ringing
statement declaring his stand for real
Americanism and preparedness that
spells efficiency in the American navy
and army Charles Evans Hughes &C
copied the nomination for president
rendered him by the Republican party
His acceptance was contained in a
telegram sent to Chairman Harding OF
the convention.
81 have not desired the nomination,
Mr.. Hughes statement says. 81 have
wished to remain on the bench. But
in this critical period of our national
history l recognize that it is your
right to summon and that it is my
paramount duty to respond.
"You speak at a time of national
exigency, transcending merely parti
san considerations You voice the de
mands for dominant, thorough going
American with first protective upbuild

security; and to that call, in this
crisis, | cannot fail to answer with

BORDER TROUBLE
BECOMES CRITICAL

Washington, June 13.-With a re-
port in the hands of officials here that
$4,000 fully armed Mexican soldiers
are at Chihuahua, ready for instant
service, the view of the Mexican sit
uation became admittedly graver
Fifteen hundred additional United
States troops were ordered to the Dor
der by Secretary of War Baker, on the
heels of information that serious
purpose was behind the raid on the
Coleman ranch Sunday.
The reinforcements consist of ten
companies of coast artillery and a
battalion of engineers.
The possibility of an attack by Car.
rama soldiers on General Pershing's
army is causing alarm, officials admit
ted freely.
Officials have been unable to deter
mine the inspiration behind the sud
den outbreak of anti-American feeling
or to estimate the ability of General
Carranza to protect American lives
and property.

NINCE Hercules diverted the river
n to renovate the Augean stables
Clean Up has had it's place in
the worlds vernacular With Spring
the desire to refurbish comes sub.
consciously into the hearts of men
and women, and communities. But
without direction and sustained effort
the expression Of that desire, in the
form of the ordinary "Clean Up Day"
or week" is apt to result in a super
fetal sally against filth.
Years ago Allen w. Clark, a st. Louis
editor, made up his mind that this
natural Clean Up" instinct could be
turned to account, that it could be
developed into real campaign work
ing toward definite ideals and accom-
plishing permanent results. And so,
in May 1912, Mr.. Clark founded the
National "Clean Up and Paint Up"
Campaign Bureau, with headquarters
in st. Louis He hoped that a thor
ough-going movement, national In its
scope and practical in it's principles,
might take the place of the annual
bath" idea as expressed in the old-tlme
clean up day. or week"
A National Civic Movement.
For four years the scope of the Ma
tional Bureaus service has rapidly ex-
tended until this year it is co-operat-
ing with more than 5000 local COM
munities in the organization and di-
rection of real "Clean Up and Paint
Up" campaigns, not days, or
weeks" Continuous campaigns for
homes and hometowns beautiful, SAM
tary and safe, conducted by permanent
committees, and involving the COOP
Grafton of city and town officials, club
women, commercial organizations, the
children, fire prevention interests, all
business men and property owners,
is the goal aimed at by all Of the
National Bureaus propaganda.
Mr.. Clark declares that the bane of
any community is the citizen who
lacks even semblance of interest in
the community, and that, strange as
it may seem in q democracy, absence
of this interest seems to be pretty gen.
orally prevalent in the average Ameri-
can community. Such citizen would
have "The Town" or "The City" what
ever those names may signify when
the body of citizens Ia eliminated,
keep the streets and alleys clean, pre-
serve the public and individual health,
eliminate nuisances, make everything
In town spick and span and satisfac-
tory-while the citizen sits back and
looks on.
The real "Clean Up and Paint Up"
campaign, organized on the plans of
the National Bureau, gives everyone
something definite to do to help make
their hometown beautiful, sanitary
and safe. And the campaigns edu-
cational influence should work stead
lily the year round and year after
year, automatically eliminating many
nuisances caused formerly by careless
ness or thoughtlessness Of property
owners and tenants.

of this suggested by the National Bu-
