RumorS Current That Ameri-
can Consulate at Durango
Has Been Burned.

WASHINGTON, June lO.-Admin-
istration officials have been unable as
yet to determine the extent of the
anti-American agitation in northern
Mexico. but they are making no effort
to-oonceal their uneasiness. Tho
demonstrations against retention OF
American troops in Mexico have been
widely separated geographically but
have occurred. some officials think,
with significantly close relation to
each other in time. They believe It
possible definite campaign has been
inaugurated by some agency to pro-
woke an armed clash between Amer
lean and Mexican forces. 1t Is not
known that any definite indication of
such an organized movement has been
received
The state department had no con-
irmation tonight OF current rumors
that the American consulate at Du-
range had been burned or that Cen
cral Pcrshing's forces had been at
tackled near NamiQuippa.
The Carranza government is fac
ing renewed disorders in the south
along the line of the Tehuantepec
railway. today's advices said.
Rebels are reported 10 have captured
Tehuantepec and to be moving on
Saline Cruz. the roads pacific terminal.
There is considerable anxiety in Sa-
line Cruz. The affiliations of the reb-
els, whether villa or Zapata followers.
are involved in some new movement
such as that said to be planned by
Felix Diaz are not known
In northern Mexico the bandit leader
De la Rosa is said to he active in the
region OF MazatlAn. Since the last
word OF this leader placed him near
the border, officials are AT loss to
account for his reported activity in
the west coast territory.

KISSING CRAZE
SWEEPS OVER
THE WAR ZONE
Heroes Returning from the

Admitting DamseIs.

NEW YORK. June lO.-"Some-
where in France" the other day an
exceedingly comedy dRmsel insisted
on iervently kissing a British Tom
my" who had performed very he
rOic decd.
She saluted him at least a dozen
times, and. indeed. only desistcd
when pushed aside by another ad-
miring fair one burning to show her
appreciation in the same sweet way.
At least a score OF others followed
suit and goodness only knows when
1t would all have ended had not the
gallant soldier sought refuge in flight
He afterwRrd remarked that he
would rather face all the Germans in
France and Belgium than go through
such an ordeal again.
II Will be remembered that when
Lieutenant HobBop, OF Merrimac
fame, performed his heroic exploit
thousands OF girls and women lined
up to be kissed by him. At Kansas
CITY upward OF 400 rorecelved this
coveted salutRtion. and at Topeka
more than 500 awaited him At the
railway station. eager to be kissed.
Amidst exclamation Of Isn't he
sweet" and He's Just too lovely for
anything" Hobson made his appear
Rnce. and kissed away until his train
was ready TO resume Its Journey.
Similar scenes wore enacted in other
towns. and It Is highly probable that
the hero OF tho Aerrimac kissed moro
women than any other man In tho
world.
When Osborn W. Dignam. one OF
the crew OF the Merlmnc, returned
to his home at Stuart, Ind, there was
a crowd OF girls lined up at tho rail
way station ready and anxious to
kiss him.
His mother not unnaturally wish
ed to give him the the first salutu-
ton. and. with the help OF some male
she succeeded. By \
Tuse the eager damscls were baked
of their prey for the time being. tho
young fellow being escorted to his
nome before one OF them could
snatch kiss from him. But tho
girls were not TO be denied. and later
on all had their chance at his moth

avail herself.

South c solina. Not once since her
foundation has she desGajred, even
when in depths from which It seemed
Impossible 70 rise. Let Us turn our
attention to that state during the ten
years of reconstruction which fol-
lowed the horrible war between the
states. Just as South Carolina was
the first state IN seeding from the
union so was she first in suferings.
A grander man has never lived than
the southern soldier. See MIN rs he
returns home from war ragged, half
starved ard penniless. On the spo!
where had stood his beautiful resi-
dence are heaps OF ashes. Does the
hero despair? The word despair has
never been added to his vocabulary
of words which serve him in useful
ness. He has now concluded that all
is for the best and with eyes fixed
toward heaven he resolves to do all
in his power to make the United
States the grandest nation that the
world has ever known and to make
this beautiful southland of ours even
more beautiful and more prosperous
than she was before the war. For a
brief period all is forgotten in the re-
union of husband, father, and lover
with wife, children and sweetheart,
(tho some do not have this pleasure)
and then work Of reconstruction be-
gins. The beautiful homes are re-
placed by two room houses, in mos!
instances made of logs, the beautiful
dress which had adorned the southern
ladies now replaced by a coarse
'homespun woven by her own hands,
and on the table which had been laden
with plenty can now DE seen parcheo
corn, cornbread and some times
syrup. But what cared they for food,
for clothing or for comfort? There
was a far greater misfortune over
hanging her than either of these, one
that was destined for ten years to
threaten not only the safety Of the
southern states, but the stability Of
the union.
AS soor IS the slave had been freed

A faithful few wished to remain with
their former master. but this was i'm

in favor ot an aDeHInent u 80 4->.-

late today before SOC women Of the
Women's Roosevelt League for
Hughes, the nominee declared the
question was one affecting the whole
country and that he favored taking
the shortest cut to its solution"
In his address to the league MIR
Hughes again assailed the administra-
ton for its policy concerning Ameri-
can rights abroad during the Euro
pean war.
The nominee also made luncheon
address today to about so New York
St?te Republican editors in which he
said he had twice been called upon to
live down an underserved reputation
for coldness and aloofness, and that
he now was passing through the thir !
experience. The luncheon was private.
Tonight Mr. Hughes addressed a
small meeting invited by Herbert
Parsons, national committeeman for
New York, to meet the nominee at
an uptown club. The meeting was
private.
In his address to the women's
league Mr.. Hughes said:
"This is a campaign in which ! am
sure women can not fail to take very
profound interest. They feel more
keenIy perhaps than any one else
with resrect to the national honor and
the importance of its maintenance, to
our proper preparation and our Sc
curity; and further, to that organiza-
ton in our life in all its activities
which will give US an America going
forward to meet the responsibilities
which are sure to be upon US after
the war is over.
81 notice that you represent very
strong feeling with regard to our re-
lation to American rights in connec-
ton with that war-to our relation to
the maintenance of American rights
in connection with Mexico. We do
not wish in this country to be brought
into unnecessary conflict. There IS

ernecs srrove to keep the negro from

carpe,5agger and by the scalawag
that he was as good as any white man
and was persuaded to believe that If
he only voted as they directed that he
would soon become the owner Of forty
acres and mule with the white man

sigt. See the slothful negro as he
walks down the street with a cigar in
is mouth not even making way for
fair maidens. Hear him as he says that
he is going to legislature this year
and that some day he intends being
governor of South Carolina. "Yes,
he adds, "'the bottom rail is On the
top and we are going to keep it there"
For six years during this period
the Office of governor was in the hands
OF Robert Scott of Ohio and Moses of
South Carolina. 1t would be hard to
conceive of a man more wicked than
either of these two. These men to-
gether with three negroes in legis-
lature robbed the state treasures.
Negroes we're now appointed as
school commissioners, mayors and
other places of responsibility, when
many white men were not capable
of holding. This period has we'll
been said to have been under the rule

rule, South Carolina now found her
beautiful name taken from rer and in
its place she was called Military dis
trict number 2"
On coming into power the negro re-
solved not only to have control of the
government but also to intermarry
with the whites. There is no sight Sc
pitiful as that of the former slave who
formerly had scarcely dared to talk
with his young mistress now trying
to force her to become his wife. Oh,
pitiful sight! See him as he smiles,
sickeningly, asking her to become his
wife and as she refuses see his man
ner change, as grinding his teeth he
clasps his big black hand into her
s0f: white throat. 1t was this that
called forth every particle of manhood
