Arrangements Made Along the Mexican Line
in Interest of Efficiency
SYFH THOUSAND TROOPS At THREATENED POINTS AND FORCE IN FEW DAYS WILL BE
HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND STRONG

Washington, July 3.-With more
than 100000 American troops as
sembling along the Mexican border,
the war department today took steps
to decentralize direct administration
in the interest of efficiency. Probably
also paving the way for the appoint
ment of supreme commander OF
military activities on the border and
in Mexico. The international border
in the southern department from the
Gulf of California line has been divid-
ed into three departments. General
Funston continues in command of the
southern department; the Gulf to Ell
Paso department of New Mexico was
created with Gen. Pershing in COM
mand; the remainder is in the western
department under General Bell. De-
partment officials said the new order
had no significance as indicating pre-
paration for war. 1t automatically re-
lieves General Funston Of supreme
command and the enormous response
bilities crowded upon him.
No formal announcement was made
Eegarding the selection of senior
major general. General Fox is COM
mander-in-chief of the border guard
and field forces. Another change
is probably indicated by the order is
tho nronotion of General Parshino
under the army reorganization bill
now effective. 1t provides an addi-
tional major general.
Nothing new has been received re-
garding when Carranza's reply to the
American note is expected.

APPRECIATE, KINDNESS.

When the heart is burdened with
sorrow: when our souls are ladened
with grief and afhiction the kind
words and acts of friends come to us
as refreshing dews from the springs
of heaven. Words are inadequate;
are hollow sounds when We attempt
to express our feeling and gratitude
to kind friends who have aided us in
ministering to our loved ones in the
sad hours of sickness. pain and affiic
ton. AS the ivy clings to the sturdy
oak, So will the manifestations of
love and sympathy ever cling to our
memory. We wish to thank most sin
cerely each friend who aided us in
many ways in making the last hours
OF our little son. grandson and brother
as comfortable as human hearts snd
hands could make them. and for the
beautiful flowers at the last sad rites.
performed for the loved one, We
especially thank the Misses Allison
for the rendition of beautiful music.
which softened the hearts Of all pres

scenes here below. The hours of
sorrow and affiiction must come to us
all and we sincerely trust that when
you shall be called upon to enter the
portals of grief that you may find the
love and sympathy that you gave to
us in our recent bereavement.
Sincerely.

STATE CAPITOL letter

in the field next fall, one of them rep
resenting the party OF exped:ency,
the other. the one of principle.
The total receipts by the treasurer
last year. from all sources, were $4,-
1e2. .7sO.64. OF this amount $295, 49,
AZ was received from the Inheritance
Tax: s25l.746.O3 from the Insurance
Department; $l01 ,e2s.47 from the
different inspection departments;
s737 $685. from the land depa tment;
s49. 1891 from the Fish and Game
department; and from fees taken in
by the Secretary of State, s179.317.I9.
In nearly every item the receipts are
above those of former years and show
in an unmistakable manner the heal
thy growth that the state is enjoying
at the present time.
1t is gratifying also to know that
the state is rapidly ray ng on debts
of the previous administration and
getting on cash basis.
On February 10. 1915. there were
outstanding warrants amounting 10
ssso. .7Os.o2. On February 10. 1916.
these had been reduced to sS43.4s1.55
There had also. during the same
time. leen claims against the state
incurred by former administrations,
and for which warrants had not been
issued. settled. amounting to much
over hundred thousand dollars.
If the 1915 taxes we're now in hand.
every current outstanding Obligation
of the state could at once be paid
and there would be left ever a surplus
OF at least million dollars. This is
not a bad showing for a state that
has rassed through such troublous
tines as has Colorado.
