STATE GUARDSNEN
CALLED TO BORDER
MILITIA OF TEXAS, ARIZONA AND
NEW MEXICO TO AID IN
PATROL DUTY.
Eleven Thousand Additional Troops
Ordered to the Border to Assist
in Protecting Americans and
Searching for Villa.

Washington,-State militiaman from
Arizona, New Mexico and Texas are
to assist the soldiers of the regular
army in border guard duty.
President Wilson on Tuesday or
dered 1000 coast artillery from Allan
tic stations and five batteries of field
artillery from Fort Sill, Okla, to the
Mexican border.
These forces will reinforce the 1000
infantry and militia ordered to the Dor
der earlier in the day. With the 5000
recruits recently sent to border points,
this will give General Funston 1000
additional troops to reinforce his Dor
der patrol or to reinforce the 10000
men in General Pershings expedition
airy army.
With 5000 additional troops under
orders for the Mexican border, includ.
ing 1900 national guardsmen from
Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, ad.
ministration officials felt that neces.
sary steps had been taken to prevent
further raiding of American border
towns by bandits.
In addition to the five batteries OF
field artillery ordered from Fort Sill, a
battery of the Third field artillery, sta,
toned at Fort Myer, but now at the
Tobyhanna, Pa, camp, was ordered to
hold itself in readiness to go to the
border.
The Second cavalry is the only regi,
ment of mobile trops not included in
the recent orders to the border 1t is
understood the one squadron of this
regiment at Fort Myer and two squad
rons at Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont,
will be the next ordered to the border.
The total coast artillery strength of
the army is IT'S commissioned officers
and 1921 enlisted men.
About 1000 of these are stationed in
the Philippines, Guam, Hawaii and the
canal zone.
The total number at posts on the
Pacific, Atlantic and gulf coasts is
about $4,000 men.

THE DANDiLloN

Being frequently asked how to kill
the dandilion, let me say for others
who may wish to save their lawns
that there is sure kill. Get a gal
Ion or two of gasoline and an oil
can with free delivery, put little,
about quarter or half teaspoonful
in the head of the dandilion and in a
day the root of the thing will wither
and die, Be careful not to get the
gasoline on the grass for it will kill
that also. This hand to hand battle
seems slow and tedious, but it is not.
The work can be done fast. Do not
be discouraged because dandilions ap-
pear morning after morning. Examine
and you will see that they are new
ones and not the ones you have oiled.
1t is a pity to give over a beauti-
full lawn to this yellow peril" Is
not a good lawn one of the chiefs of
public improvements? If the pri-
yate lawns and the vacant lots and
the ditch courses and highways were
kept from growing dandihon seed, in
a few years the pest could be over
come.
On lawns where too thick for the
gasoline method, they can be checked
by frequent use of the lawn mower.
Those which the lawn mower leaves
can be picked by hand In a short time
and burned, to prevent going to seed.
Also a great check to the leaves and
blossoms is a spray of Sulphur of
Iron, recommended by the agnicultur-
al college of Colorado. Use one
part sulphate to fifty parts water.
Apply with fore eump, or sprinkler
will do, Apply freely. 1t will kill the
leaves and blossoms and give the
grass chance to gain possession.
Does not injure the grass.
For good lawns.

MEXICAN BANDITS
ANNIHILATE GUARD
ATTACK BORDER TOWN AND MUIR.
DER MEMBERS OF SMALL
BAND OF cAVALRYMEN.
Soldiers Take Refuge In Adobe House,
But Are Driven Forth When
Building is Fired and Shot
Down by Bandits.

Alpine, Texas.-Villista bandits
some seventy in number, forded the
Rio Grande Friday night and, sweep.
ing fifteen miles inland on American
soil, raided the little settlement of
Glenn Springs and attacked a detach-
ment OF American cavalry, consisting
OF nine men of Troop A, the Four
teenth cavalry.
Three troopers and a little 10year-
old boy were killed, two cayalrymen
were wounded and another is missing.
He is believed to be prisoner of the
bandits, who are now fleeing south
ward into Coahuila, Mexico.
Two American citizens, j. Deemers
and a man named Compton, according
to reports received here, were carried
across the Rio Grande and reports
have it that their Threats have been
cut. A posse Of fifty citizens OF Mara.
thon set out in pursuit Of the Yilliatas.
In little adobe house nine cav.
alrymen made their fight for life
against the seventy or more ViIlista
bandits at Glenn Springs A hail Of
shot poured for more than two hours
into the single window of the mud
adobe, but the Americans refused to
give up. The cayalrymen kept up a
steady rife fire in defiant answer.
Then the Mexicans' leader ordered fire
balls to be thrown on the roof, thickly
matched with candalaria.
The blazing weed tortured the sol
diers below and burnt tl.eir heads and
bodies. Then, smashing the door, the
troopers broke for the open, firing as
they ran. Two were shot and killed
as they fed Ole is missing, and it is
believed he is dead. Another was
killed as he tried to climb through a
window.

ing policy: ITO take every position
means of gaining Constantinople. for
he who rules there will be the true
sovereign of the world" Kossuth
said "ln Turkey will be decided the
fate of the world.
The possession of Constantinople
and the Dardinells would be espec-
tally advantageous to Russia, but the
other powers up to the beginning of
this war have never been willing for
Russia to gain such an advantage,
and every time the attempt has been
made to carry out the will of Peter
the Great, the powers of Europe have
come to the help of the Turk The
only reason the "Unspeakable Turk"
has been allowed to remain In Europe
this long is because the nations know
that when he is showed out, what Ma
poleon designated as the equilibrium
of Europe" would be destroyed.
Lord Salisbury of England said
THE powers of Europe came to the
conclusion half a century ago that
for the peace of Christendom it Is
necessary that the Ottoman empire
should stand
$500 years ago the Lord, through
his prophet Daniel foretoh the out

eleventh chapter is one OF the most
wonderful prophecies in the Bible
fate of Turkey; But tidings out of
the east and out of the north shall
trouble him; therefore he shall go
forth with great fury to destroy and
utterly to make away many. And he
shall plant the tabernacle of his
palace between the seas in the glor-
ious holy mountain yet he shall come
to his end and none shall help him"
| That this refers to Turkey there can
( be no doubt. The tidings from the
north are evidently from Russia and
against Russia he will go forth with
great fury. But Turkey will be de-
feated and will move the capitol
| from Constantinople to Sal, Asia
Minor and finally to Jerusalem be-
tween the Dead and Medterranea
seas, and there be brought to an
end. The phrase none shall help
him" indicates that time will come
when the powers cannot or will not
come to his help any more. Such
condition now exists Turkeys old
friends are now his enemies. The
allied fleets are reducing the forts of
the Dardanells and Bosphorus and
with none to help him." the sick
man of the east is preparing to flee
into Asia The scramble for the
coveted territory of the Turks by
the nations will bring on the battle
Armageddon.
The removal of the capitol to Je-
rusalem is one of the last events
fore the coming of Christ, for the
next verses in the prophecy read:
"And at that time shall Michael
stand up, the great prince which
standeth for the children of thy peo-
Pile; and there shall be a time of
trouble such as never was since
there was a nation, even to that
time thy people shall be delivered
everyone that shall be found written
in the book. And many of them
that sleep in the dust of the earth
shall awake, some to shame and
everlasting contempt" Dan 12:1-2.

Denies the Assertion;
Facts Not Furnished.

The German government must emphat-
ically repudiate the assertion The Ger
man government, however. thinks Ii of
little avail to enter into details In the
present stage OF affairs, more particular
ly as the government of the United States
omitted to substantiate the assertion by
reference to concrete facts.
The German government will only state
that it has imposed far-reaching re-
straints upon the use OF the submarine
weapon, solely in consideration OF neu-
trails interests, in spite Of the fact that
these restrictions are necessarily of ad-
vantage to Germanys enemies No such
consideration has ever been shown neu-
trails by Great Britain and her allies

Special Orders Had
Been Given U-Boats.

The German submarine forces have had,
in fact, orders to conduct the submarine
warfare in accordance with the general
principles of visit and search and the de-
struction of merchant vessels recognized
by international law, the sole exception
being the conduct of warfare against enc
my trade carried on anemy freight ships
encountered In the war zone surrounding
Great Britain. With regard to these no
assurances have ever been given to the
government of the United States No
such assurances are contained In the
declaration of February s, 1916
AS The German government repeatedly
declared. 1t cannot dispense with the use
of the submarine weapon In the conduct
Of warfare against enemy trade. This
German government, however has now
decided to make 1t further concession.
adapting methods of submarine war to
the interests of neutrals.
In reaching this decision the German
government Is actuated by considerations
which afv above the level of the disputed

Keeps Principles of
Humanity in View.

The German government attaches no
less Importance to the sacred principles
of humanity than the government Of the
United States 1t again fully takes into
account that both governments for many
years co-operated In developing interna-
tional law in conformity with these prin-
ciples, the ultimate object of which has
always been to cOnfine warfare on sea
and land to armed forces Of beIligerents
and to safeguard as far as possible non
combatants against the horrors of war
But although these considerations are OF
great weight, they alone would not under
present circumstances have determined
the attitude of the German government.
For in answer to the appeal by the gov
eminent of the United States on behalf
OF the sacred principles of humanity and
International law, the German govern
ment must repeat once more with all
emphasis, that II was not the German
but the British government which ignored
all accepted rules OF international law and
extended this terrific war to the lives and
property Of noncombatants, having no re-
gard whatever for the interests and
rights of neutrals and noncombatants
that through this method Of warfare have
been severely injured
In self defense against the Illegal con-
duct of British warfare, while fighting a
bitter struggle for national existence,
Germany lad 10 resort to the hard but
effective weapon of submarine warfare.
As matters stand, the German govern
ment cannot but reiterate regret that the
sentiments OF humanity which the govern
ment Of the United States extends with
such fervor to the unhappy victims OF
submarine warfare are not extended with
the same warmth of feeling TO many
millions of women and children who, ae-
cording to the avowed intention of the
British government, shall be starved, and
who, by sufferings, shall force the vic
torious armies of the central powers into
ignominious capituIation.

At the first symptoms of any derange-

Tens of thousands of women have taken

ways had a dismal time in the dimly-

getting off a Seaboard night train
and going into that dingy waiting
room, lit by few feeble globes,
couldn't help thinking he had arrived
at tank town sure enough. We have
frequently heard the Seaboard men
say, in the past half dozen years,
that their road wouldn't build a new
station because it was waiting for
the union depot. The Coast Line is
the goat in this case-it has to give
up its neat station in the heart of the
city and move to the bottom of long
grade, where its southbound trains
will have to start right at the foot of
a hill. The Seaboard, on the con-
trary, will be all to the merry, as the
new station will be on the level for its
tracks and convenient for it every
other way. We would be sorry for
the Coast Line, if it wasn't that we
knew that getting raw deal in the
union station matter is just punish
ment for some of its sins. We are
going to be sorry for our own peo-
pie, showever, majority of whom will
miss the convenient Coast Line depot.
