FLOWER HINTS FOR BEGINNER
sv E. VAN BENTHUYSEN.

Flowers should have a friable, very
fertile soil in which to grow. Often
they will make a fine showing in very
poor soil. but like humans they ap-
preCiate good care.
Do not allow the flowers to form
seeds. AS soon as the flowers begin
to fade. pinch them off; your flowers
will keep in bloom much longer and
the blooms will be larger if you pay
attention TO this little detail. Pansies
and sweet peas particularly require
looking after.
Use your flowers in borders and
around the sides of your lawn. Never
make flower beds in the center of
your lawn. A bit OF green turf well
cared for is an asset TO any home
grounds.
If you want a soft. thick turf on
your lawn NOW it often and let the
clippings lie where they fall. This
keeps the soil from drying out too
much and helps fertilize it as it de-
Gays.
Support sweet peas on a hedge of
brush This is better than poultry
netting as the sun does not heat II
I and burn the tender tendrils OF the
clinging sweet pea
Y Plant your shade trees far enough
away from the house to allow the air
TO circulate around the house. Sun
shine in the home is a tonic and care
should be exercised when planting
that trees do not interfere or shade the
windows too much.
Do not plant your flowers too close
together. Give them all chance for
life. Pansies should be planted ten
inches apart; Petunias and Verbenas
at least Is inches apart: Marigolds.

The dispatch added that the en-
counter between the two forces was
accepted by the people as a justifica-
ton 'of the action of the Mexican

ment which has developed over the

Mexico City and elsewhere have left
and it Is now believed by consular and
other officials that more than 25O
Americans remain in the capitol. None
of these remaining express any appre-
hension regarding their safety. All
the foreigners in the interior city of
Guanajuato have made a statement to
the British consul that they have en-

The embassy also was informed that

Railroads Advised to
Keep Rolling Stock on
This Side of Border

Washington, D. c.. June 24.-Cus-
toms officials along the Mexican bor-
der have been ordered to hold up
freight shipments into Mexico and to
advise the railroads to keep their roll
ing stock on the American side of the
line.
Treasury officials said to-day the
collectors were acting under general
Instructions to cooperate with the
military authorities and that no spe-
cific embargo orders had been issued.
Efforts to keep rolling stock out of
Mexico have the double purpose of
protecting the railroads on their own
account and also guard against the
loss of equipment which might be
needed for the transportation of
American troops in the event of actual
Wer.

tional Guard regiments as they reach
the border. The regulars, already ac-
climated and prepared by months of
border work for a vigorous campaign
would be concentrated at the points at
which general advance would be
begun.
Secretary Baker had no additional
advices from General Funston when
he went to the White House. Secre-
tary Lansing had received a dispatch
from Mexico City announcing that the
80 Americans in Guanajato held there
by lack of transportation, had been
promised train facilities by the Car

Forty Troopers and All
Officers Missing Is Report
Received at Columbus
BY Associated Press

Columbus. n. NJ, June 24.-All of
the American force which engaged
the MeXicans at Carrizal have re-
turned to the field base excepting Cap
tains Boyd and Morey, Lieutenant
Adair and forty troopers according to
a report brought here to-day by ar
rivals from the interior.
The three officers are believed dead.
According to this report the total of
American dead in the battle proba bly,
was twenty-siX, unless some of the
troops still are wandering in search
of the eSpeditionary force. Seventeen
prisoners have been taken to Chi
huahua City.
Mexican reports that twelve Ameri-
can dead were found on the scene Of
the engagement, would indicate. IL
the latest details are correct. that
fourteen troopers either died from
their wounds, were killed in later
fighting or have not succeeded in
reaching their base.

New York, June 24.-Another regi-

orders to go to Peekskill to remain

San Antonio, Tex. June 24.-In the
shadow of the Alamo. where the
deaths of Davy Crockett, James
Bowie, Colonel Travis and Colonel
Bonham made history seventy years
ego, citizens of San Antonio to-day
were convinced that another Alamo
had been fought last Wednesday at
Carrizal by Captain Charles T.
Boyd's troops of the Tenth cavalry
and that the names of Captains Boyd
and Morey and Lieutenant Adair
would go down into history alongside
those of their illustrious predecessors.
Officers at Southern division head
quarters, however, still hoped that
a complete and official report from
than seven men, who have reached
the main column, have escaped death,
wounds or capture.
Plight Desperate
Yet hone disputes that the fragmen-
tary reports show that the plight of
the little band of Americans must
have been desperate. According to
these reports, they were lured to their
death by the pretense of a parley.
The Americans were nearly eighty

ior force; while endeavoring to avoid
clash they were swept by machine
guns and rifle fire.
The fragmentary reports, showing
that Captain Boyd hoped to avoid a
clash, gave no indication that the
American troopers occupied ground,
which could be readily defended when
the battle opened, or that 1t would af-
ford protection from the raking cross
fire to which they were subjected.
Much Like Clusters Fight
Unless Captain Boyd succeeded in
checking the Mexican charge and
withdrawing his men to more ad-
vantageous position. the stories on
which General Pershing's reports have
been based would seem to indicate to
military men here that the American
