OLD BATTERY HORSE RETIRED
Faithful Animal Will Be Cared For BY
Government

Washington, June 22.-Capt. Charles
d. Mortimer, commanding officer of
Battery ID, Third Field Artillery, has
requested that authority be granted to
stable, forage and care for an old horse
known as Rodney, wherever he may be,
for the rest of his life. This army
horse, now 2S years old, is at Fort
Myer, Va, and Capt. Mortimer's recon-
mendation has been approved by the
military authorities, including Gen. H.
G. Sharpe, acting Quartermaster-Gen-
eral of the army.
Rodney was acquired for the artil'
lery service at Fort Riley, Kan, in
1896, when about years old, and
through his entire service gained a
high reputation for intelligence, willing
, ness, strength and all around ability
Literally wheel horse" he was never
sick and never known to refuse a task
of hauling no matter how difficult. He
was with Grimes battery in Cuba ant
did heavy work beyond the strength
of other horses.
Although he outlasted all his fel
lows he finally succumbed to old ag'
and failing vitality and no longer il
able to stand the strain of active ser
vice When he was condemned unde
the rigid rules of the service he wa
bought at auction by the members o
the battery for Sl07 and since then ha
been given only the lightest sort @
work at Fort Myer. In recommendn
that the faithful old animal be care
for by the Government for the renal
der OF his life Capt Mortimer says:
"He has richly deserved whatever {
|, kindness and gratitude his master ma
show, and the formal recognition {
his retirement and maintenance durin
! the few remaining years of his III
/ would not only be appropriate but
would show to the world that our Go
ernment is great enough to recogni;
5 and reward true merit wherever It
/. found"

San Antonio, Tex, June 23.-Of the
two troops of the Tenth cavalry under
Captain Charles T. Boyd, attacked by
Mexican forces under General Gomez
at Carrizal Wednesday, only a hand
full escaped, according to indications in
a fragmentary report received by Gen
eral Funston from General Pershing
tonight
General Pershing's message declared
seven survivors in all, including those
who arrived last night, have reached
the main column. All were enlisted
men but the report did not say whet-

GERS among them.
According to the stories of the sur
yivors. as outlined in General Perish
ing's report, mounted force of Mexi-
cans made a charge from the flank at
the conclusion of parley between Cap
tain Boyd and General Gomez, at the
same time that machine gun opened
fire from the front as General Gomez
reached his lines.

Santiago, Chile, June 23.-The
Chilean Government has been in active
telegraphic communication with the
Governments of Argentina, Brazil,
Ecuador, and the United States regard
ing the possibility of intervention by
all the American nations to bring about
a peaceful solution of the Mexican stu
alton.
Chilean newspapers take the view
that the United States will exact from
Mexico nothing more than a guarantee
in respect OF the safeguarding of the
frontier. The view is taken by the
press that, on account of internal dis
orders and lack of stable Government,
Mexico is no longer entitled to the Gus
tomary consideration accorded by ma,
tions to one another. But in view of
the declared policy of the United
States toward smaller powers, the
newspapers say, it is hardly to be eX-
pected that the United States will take
any unfair advantage of Mexico, en-.
feebled as she is by long internal
convulsions.

leagues revived talk of the possibility
of offers of mediation of present and
past difficulties. The state depart
ment, however, has plainly indicated
that it does not desire mediation and
does not consider there is anything to
mediate.
Administration officials looked upon
the Arredondo explanation as a plain
effort to line up South and Central
America behind Mexico, if not in force
at least in sympathy. Secretary Lam

The interview was sought on ac-
count of declarations attributed to
MeXicans that Japan had given assur-

would be given to Mexico in the event
of war with the United States.
"As for private Japanese companies

Let me say this with all the en-
phass and earnestness at my com

around in his chair. "The Japanese
nation sincerely hopes that armed cor

Mexico may be avoided. Japan's inter
