Gen. TrevinO Threatens Action
Against American Troops.
No More Forces Can Cross BOr-
der, Says Mexican.

Washington, June 17--Mexicans
will attack American troops il any of
the latter cross the border or, tif there
is any attempt to move troops" &C
cording to a message General Trevino
has telegraphed to General Pershing,
General Bell reported to the war de-
partment through General Funston.
General Bell telephoned that Gen
era1 Trevino had te}egraphed General
Pershing that, if any more troops
crossed the border they will be at
tackled, or if any attempt is made to
move any more troops, these will be
attacked" said Funstons telegram.
Taken AS Official.
Acting Secretary of War Scott, in
announcing the message, emphasized
the fact that the word did not come
from Pershing himself. 1t was taken,
however. as official confirmation of
Trevino's previously reported action
inasmuch as Bell made his statement
fatty and did not qualify it with any
suggestion that the Trevino message
was merely rumor.
Another message revealed that
Major Gray has returned to San Igna-
clio after having crossed into Mexico
yesterday, the message explaining that
the crossing was because of bandit
activity, but added that the Mexican
forces had offered to cooperate and
that the bandit gang in that vicinity
was broken.

Topeka school teachers were given
their reward at the end of school this
year for any unpleasant events, when
the last bulletin issued from Superin-
tendent Wilson'S office gave them the
opportunity TO register their knocks,
suggestions and bouquets, if any for
the Topeka school system.
Four questions were put to the 10
peka school ma ans" Number one
invited them to give their opinions
wherein the educational opportunities
offered to Topeka school children are
unsatisfactory and in need of improve
nent. Number two called for sug-
gestions as to changing the course of
study Three: Suggestions as to what
manner the relationship between the
community and the schools could be
improved. Four: In what way nave
the educational opportunities been i'm
proved.
Several hundred replies have been
received Advice of all sorts has been
accorded: ranging from suggestions
concerning the installations of little
red chairs instead of desks for the
younger children, to proposals that
domestic science courses be adopted in
the grades.
They Want Movies.
Some of the knocks and suggestions
received by Superintendent Wilson in
regard to unsatisfactory cond1tlons

Younger children. The absence or
Spanish course in the schools was in
weighed against by several other OBJ
jections were the preSent-uneVenS stand

A fund of suggestions toward secur-
ing a better relationship between the
community and the schools was Of
fered. In this referendum "commun-

elogues and moving picture shows
were the most favored means.
Many votes for the parent-teacher' s
association were received. One teach
er suggested a fathers day. in which
the fathers of the children should drop
into the schools for a few minutes and
see their offspring at work.
Revision of Study Courses.
Practically every teacher had some
thing to say about revision of course
of study. although many professed
themselves as being unable to offer
any suggestions of Improvement. Many
favored more and better instruction
in music and drawing. One or two
thought that drawing in the upper
gra des should be elective. One teach
eI suggested that each school should
have reproductions of the work of ia

Mexican bandits at IsIita, rs miles
