From an authoritative source 1t was
learned today that the reply informs
the United States that the attitude
Of the de facto government toward
that country has been clearly set forth
in previous communication.
1t is understood that Chief Execu-
tive Carranza insists that the pres
ence Of the American troops on Mex1-
can soil is contrary to the wishes OF
the Mexican people and government,
that reiterates previous demands Off
their withdrawal and that he places
responsibility for hostilities. If they

ORPET TO TELL
STORY OF LOVE
AGAIN TODAY

WAUKEGAN, ILL.,, June 27.-Shaken
but slightly by the ordeal through
which he has passed. Will Orpet came
to the Lake county court today pre-
pared again to take the stand and
describe to the gaping jury and crowd
ed court room the manner in which
Marian Lambert, his school girl sweet
heart met her death in the snow blank.
eted woods last February He was
prepared TO reiterate under the careful
guidance of his attorneys, that Marian
Lambert drank the poison that caused
her death, and that he did not force
the stuff between her lips, as the state
alleges.
In anticipation of another sensation
al day, with a possibility that the
states attorneys will try to tear him
to pieces Lake county citizens
swarmed the court house in every
manner of vehicle. Long before the
opening of court there was a tightly
packed ring of rigs about the old
fashioned hitchrack that runs around
the court house.
Orpet's big trial is yet to come. It
may come today but in all proba bility
not until tomorrow. 1t will come when
the lawyers for the prosecution take
up the task of cross-examination IN
der their questioning the young col
legian will be forced to delve more
deeply into his relations with his
school girl friend than he did under
the gentle guidance of his own at
torneys.

in case of war the members must
serve as regular soldiers.
In case they are called, the local
men will join with the ranks of other
