State Takes Stock.

The State of Maryland is taking
stock.
Not for long time if ever has TIE
State known just what it owned in
the way of small property. Some
years ago there was a round up Of the
real property, some investigation OF
titles and a listing of the holdings,
which has been made public. But tic
State took no account of the personal
property except as a department or in
stitution might make an inventory On
its own account.
State officials, boards and comnli5-
sions received from Thomas w. Sim
mons, secretary of the Board Of Pub
lie Works request to fnrwar I'd Z,
once an inventory of personal prop
erty, together with information as to
whether it is insured and if so for
what amount.
The general inventory idea is cred
tied to Comptroller Hugh A McMul-
len. As dry goods merchant for
many years he learned the value OF
stocktaking at regular intervals. Sc,
when he got into the Board of Public
Works and found that thousands Of
dollars were being paid out by the
State for cffice fixtures and the like
without anyone knowing just what the
State had after the money was spent,
he advanced the idea Of a general in
Ventory.

u. S. DEMANDS
CAPTIVES RELEASE
Carranza Has Admitted Order
ing Attack.
TO MEET FORCE WITH FORCE
Situation Is Now Exceedingly Acute.
War Department Impatient Over
National Guards Delay
In Starting.

Washington.-Full responsibility for
the attack on the American troopers by
Mexican forces at Carrizal has been
assumed by the Carranza Government.
Demand for the immediate release
of the American troopers captured in
the engagement has been made by the
American Government, with further
demand for an early statement from
Carranza as to the course Of action he
has determined upon.
These are the outstanding features
of communications exchanged between
the two governments and made public
Sunday afternoon by Secretary of
State Lansing.
To Meet Force With Force.
The Mexican communication is con-
strued, Secretary Lansing states in the
note sent to Carranza, "as a formal
avowal Of deliberately hostile action
against the forces of the United States
now in Mexico, and Of the purpose to
attack without provocation whenever
they move from their present posi-
tion," despite the friendly mission on
which they are engaged and which is
reaff1rmed in the American rejoinder.
General Carranza is required to
place himself on record formally, and
the plain intimation lies behind the
restrained language of Mr.. Lansing's
communication that force will be met
with force. Apparently, however, the
Washington Government is determined
that the de facto Government shall not
evade responsibility before the world
if war is forced upon the United
States.
The note and the military situation
of the United States were talked over
at the White House by the President
with Chairman Stone of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee; Senator
Lodge, ranking Republican member,
and Chairman Flood, of the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs. Repre-
sentative Cooper, ranking minority
member of the House committee, was
out Of the city.
After the conference, which lasted
more than an hour, Senator Stone said
the situation was exceedingly acute. 4"
President Wilson had felt it necessary
to acquaint Congress with the state of
affairs and the action taken, through
the Foreign Affairs Committee. 1t was
indicated that he might desire to ad-
dress a joint session of the House and
Senate in day or two, but would not
take this final step until the Mexican
Government had been given an oppOr-
tunity to reply.

CAPTAIN MOREY
BACK FROM DEAD
PIucky Officer Found By Relief
Party.
HIS WOUNDS NOT DANGEROUS
Left In Desert To Die At Own Request
He Recovered Enough Strength
To Drag Himself To Ranch
OF American.

Field Headquarters, Mex. (by Wire
less to Columbus, N. M.).-Twenty-
three American soldiers are known to
have lost their lives on the battlefield
at Carrizal, according to report to
General Pershing from Major jenkins,
commanding the Eleventh Cavalry col
umn, ordered to scour the country in
that vicinity for survivors.
The report told of the rescue in
safety of Capt Lewis S. Morey, after
he had made a daring stand in the
face of heavy Mexican odds and heroic
personal sacrifices in an effort to save
| the lives of his men. Major jenkins
said he had evidence that nine Ameri-
can troopers, in addition to those pre-
viously reported dead, had been killed
A note found on the body of Capt.
Charles T. Boyd, the American COM
mander, who lost his life in charge
on the Mexican machine gun trench,
proved that General Felix Gomez, the
M invited him hi4iif4f4
the town of Carrizal, and that he had
refused and afterward conferred with
Gomez outside the town. Neither the
notebook of Captain Boyd nor that of
Captain Morey, both of which were
recovered, threw any new light on the
clash, according to the report.
Left On Desert To Die.
After the first firing, Troop K, under
Captain Morey's command, took refuge
In a nearby adobe, Major jenkins re-
ported. Realizing that they were sur
rounded and outnumbered by Mexican
| troops. he ordered his men to leave
the hut in small detachments, that
their chances of escape might be in
creased.
Captain Morey, himself suffering
with slight wounds, with four men, re-
mained hidden throughout the day in
the house, which was within 1000
yards of the Carranza line.
That night, the party of four started
afoot in an attempt to make their way
back to the expeditionary command.
However, Captain Morey soon became
SO weak from loss of blood that he
was unable to walk, and, believing he
was dying, he ordered his men to leave
him and save themselves.
Showed Great Endurance.
This they did, but shortly afterward
the wounded officer managed to rally
enough strength to crawl to the ranch
house of an American named McCabe,
living about nine miles from Carrizal.
Major Jenkins reported that he had
found Captain Morey hidden in Nc
Cabe's house and that his wounds
were not dangerous.
Upon the receipt of the dispatch,
General Pershing said 43 members of
the command engaged had been ac-
counted for and that one other is
known to be alive, but is lost in the
desert. The remainder of the "a men
who made up the detachment are be-
lieved to have been killed or made
prisoners.

Waiting On Mexico City.

The United States now is waiting for
Carranza's final word in reply to the
note sent Sunday demanding release of
the prisoners taken at Carrizal and a
formal diplomatic announcement of in
tentions.
Special Agent Rodgers reported its
receipt, adding that he had failed in
his first efforts to place it in the hands
Of the Carranza Minister of Foreign
Relations.
Meanwhile both Congress and the
War Department put new urgency into
their preparations for war. There were
indications that, should formal break
occur toward the end of the week,
every possible precautionary step will
have been taken and General Funston
will be in a position to defend the bor-
der adequately and reinforce Perish
ing's expedition, although aggressive
action may be delayed somewhat.

Down Mediation.
PREPARATION FOR WAR
Congress Rushes Work On Appropria-

lars To Meet Requirements OF
Military Emergency.

Washington.-Effo toward Latin
American mediation in the Mexican
crisis, favored by Carranza officials,
collapsed without having reached the
stage of a formal proposal to the
United States.
1t was made plain by Secretary
Lansing to Ignacio Calderon, Minister
of Bolivia, who called with the inten-
ton of asking whether the United
States would entertain an offer of the
services of its southern neighbors to
aid in avoiding war, that the Wash
ington Government sees nothing in the
situation that would warrant arbitra-
tion proceedings.
Blame squareIy On carranza.
Mr. Lansing talked with the Minis
ter for half an hour and is understood
to have told him that the blame for the
grave outlook rested squarely upon
General Carranza The attitude of the
United States was SO fully outlined
that Mr.. Calderon did not mention di-
rectly the original purpose of his visit.
When the Minister left the State
Department he said the time seemed
inopportune," and that for the present
the diplomatic representatives Of six
South and Central American countries,
VINO had approached the Mexican En-
bassy on the subject of mediation and
received assurances that the Carranza
Government was favorable to the prin-
ciple, would not tender their good
Offices to the United States. He indi-
Gated that the attempt to arrange
mediation might be renewed if Gen
eral Carranza's reply to Secretary
Lansing's last note furnished any basis
on which the proposal could be
