citizens have suffered and continue
to suffer through the 'lawless prac-
tice" those governments have in

change In policy restoring the United
States to its full rights as q neutral
power, will be satisfactory.
This notification is given in the lat
est American communication to the
two governments. the text OF which
was made public by the State Depart
ment Friday night.
The time In which the change must
be effected is not specified. hut, the
United States expects prompt action.

are recited in the communication and
answers are made to the legal argu'
ments contained in the reply OF the
entente governments to the first
American note on the subject.
1t Is vigorously set forth that not
only have American commercial In.
terests been injured. but the rights OF
property have been violated and the
rules OF international law and custom
palpably disregarded.
Notice is served that the United
States soon will press claims against
the British and French governments

cOpal church were consecrated Sun

quipa). Gen. Candelario Cervantes
the Villista bandit leader, was killed
by American troops south of Cruces
In Chihuahua Thursday. Cervantes
end came after he had made a sur
prise attack south of Cruces on de
tachment of engineers repairing the
motor truck road. He was beatet
back by a detachment of the Seven
teenth infantry. One other Mexican
Jose Bencorne, and one American
were killed. Two Americans were
wounded.
When the engagement began the
bandits outnumbered the Americans
two to one. there being twenty OF
them. The engagement lasted almost
an hour, with hot interchange OF
bullets. Then the reinforcements
from the Seventeenth came In sight
and the villistas broke for the hills.
Private George o. Hulitt was the
hero of the fight. Bullets from his
rifle laid low both the bandits killed.
The Identification OF Cervantes a.
first was uncertain. Larer, however.
Mexicans who examined the body all
declared It was that of Cervantes. 1t
was photographed for further identifi.
cation.
Cervantes' home is In Namiquipa.
He has been a thorn in the side Of
the army in northern Chihuahua ever
since the expedition began. He had
succeeded hitherto In avoiding per.
sistent cavalry searches. His death
probably means the breaking up Of
the Villistas in this section.
