Ammunition in THE Hunt
, ing of the Shark"

To-day Marjorie Sterrett is visiting
the tented city of National Guardsmen
at Camp Whitman, near Beekman. Al
though everybody knows how the
- amen feel about preparedness,
W<6rie wants TO see how they look
ami act when they are hard at work.
She wants 70 tell them, too, that her
desire for preparedness is not only on
the seas. but also on land.
This letter from the Mississippi Val
LEI will show that stories saying the
Middle West is all paciist are not true.
II reads:
Dear Miss Marjorie:
Perhaps YOU never heard Of THE
Shark Club" Not many people
have. because il is very exclusive.
In spite Of that IL loves its country
and believes in being ready for
whatever might come. That means
soldiers and sailors with the tools
they need in their business.
Although we took our name from
a book that sounds foolish, we are

author Of alice in Wonderland

taxation. Nearly every time we
read il again we find something
serious in II. In planning this let
ter we four four lines that ought TO
be learned by the preparedness
people and used daily on the paci-
fists. with Preparedness as the
title:

NOT LOYAL TO CHIEF
Mexican Says Thousands Would Up
hold Overthrow of CarranZa.

FL Paso, June 24.-Whether or not
all factions in Mexico would be drawn
together by American Intervention de-
ponds entirely on whether action by
the United States was directed at the
Carranza government alone or at con-
quering and acquiring Mexican terri
tory, according to Gen. Felipe Angeles,
a refugee from Mexico, living in Ell
PaSo.
If the United States intervenes in
Mexico simply to put an end to Car
rama rule, then the thousands upon
thousands of Mexicans in the United
States will not be attracted by the
first chiefs call for a united people
against "a common enemy declared
General Angeles today.
But" he continued, eff the United
States should intervene with a view
to conquest and fight the people of
Mexico as nation, all the refugees
in the United States would return to
resist the invasion"

TO FINANCE WAR
Many Look for q New Govern.
ment Bond Issue.
Mexico the Sole Topic of Dis
cussiOn on Wall Street.

New York, June 24.-Mexico formed
almost the sole subject of discussion
in Wall Street this week. Among
bankers there was some conjecture re-
speeding 4 possible government bond
issue to meet expenses connected with
the mobilization of troops and mainte-
nance of border patrol. 1t was stated
by competent authorities that the
pending negotiations with British and
French interests for new loans or cred
its will be carried to a satisfactory
conclusion, regardless of home re-
quiremertS.
In the stock market, prices suffered
n very irregular downward revision.
especially in certain of the more spec
uiative issues Heavy declines in
shares like United States Industrial
Alcohol, Tennessee Copper, and some
were due to specific causes, notably in
the case of Tennessee Copper, whose
directors ordered suspension of divi-
dend disbursements.
Rail Orders. .-s-4
Rails of the better class, together
with United States Steel and other
stocks of recognized merit, yielded
only nominally. Railroad earnings
continue to show satisfactory gains
over the corresponding period of re-
cent years, and although domestic de-
mand for iron ard steel is generally
