FINDS NO BASIS FOR
WAR WITH MEXICO
American Union Against Mill
tarism Says Carrizal Incl
dent Is insufficient.
1T ADVISES MEDIATION

WASHINGTON, June 2i.-The American
Union Against Militarism issued tonight
a statement. which said In part
We are on the point of war. n war
N the American pcopi. and the other
nations OF the world will sit In Judgment
and render a verdict as to the right and
Justice OF the cause. Every American
who is patriotic in the highest sens, feels
that to 60 to war without a just cause
which will bear the critical Judgment Of
future generations would he an irrepara-
BILE injury to the nation. Is there a Just
cause for war?
1T Is conceded by the state Depart
ment that up to the Carrizal engagement
between American and Mexican troops
nothing had happened that mounts to
a substantial cause for war. As We un-
derstand 1t there Is It'll. conflict of opin-
ION In regard to this. II we go to war
now 1t will be understood at home and
abroad that II is because OF the shooting
OF Capt. Boyd's troopers by Mexican sol.
diers under Gen. Gomez outside tn. town
or Carrizal at about 30 a. NJ. on
June 20.
Capt. Morey. wounded and under the
belief that he would not reach the border
alive. has given q clear, cool and detailed
account OF this engagement. This report
was evidently written with deliberation
IL bears the marks OF thoughtful accu-
racy and Capt. Morey took pains to put
Il into army code.
Qsotes From Morey's Report.
You will note that Capt. Morey says
that Capt. Boyd was under the impress
sion that the Mexicans would run II fired
on and that the Americans then formed
Tor attack and advanced upon the Next
cans and that thereupon the Mexican
troops opened FIRE. II this Is true-and
It seems impossible to doubt tive sub
nit that the Carrizal episode does no,
constitute a Just cause for war.
1T has been stated that the Carriza'
engagement was a mere incident. and
that Carranza's refusal to allow Amer.
lean troops To proceed further into
Mexico was in Itself a caus. Of war
History will not justify this nation in
going To war because "A n~eighboring re-
public would not allow our troops to en-.
ter its territory in pursuit of a band OF
outlaws and demanded that these troops
should not march further into it's terri
tory after the band of outlaws had been
scattered and many of them killed.
THE fact that Mexico is a small ma.
ton. torn by recent revolutions and now
undergoing a period of reconstruction
made IL a matter of national honor tina,
W. should scrupulously respec, It's rights
We believe that II this nation should
choose to go to war rather than accep,
the offer Of mediation made by the Latin
American republics and accepted by
Mexico Il will be a blot upon American
history"

handsome bungalows for the occupan-
c. of expected settlers. There will

cor moving pictures and public gath
?rings.

.AMER|CUS MAY
FOLLOW ACTION
OF ANOTHER CITY

Valdosta is wading into fight on
the sale of Jamaica ginner, etc. And
Americus may do the same thing.
From time to time the Times-Re-
corder has been carrying stories of
"whackum. Jamaica ginger, and var
ious concoctions found on people ar
rested for drunkenness in this city.
The police have secured various drinks
which produce terrible jag. and
even lemon extract has been found.
From best accounts Valdosta seems
to be suffering with the same malady
which has affected drinking hereabouts
The action of the Lowndes county
grand jury is told in the following
special dispatch from Valdosta:
Valdosta, Ca, Dec. S.-The Lowndes
county grand jury, in it's general pre-
sentiments published today, warns VAL
dosta druggists that sales of Jamaica
ginger. which certain thirsty citizens
are using as substitute for intoxicat-
irg beverages, are against the Geor-
gia prohibition law, and intimate that
bills will be found against druggists
selling it. 1t is said that Jamaica gin
ger, lemon extract and other tinctures
are being used to larger extent than
ever before by those who think they
are compelled to have stimulant.
The grand jury also went into the
abuse of the whiskey shipping law and
found that many persons names ap-
peared on the books of the ordinary as
having received two quarts of whiskey
at different express offices as many
as four times in one month, instead Of
two quarts once a month, as provided
by law. 1t is suggested by the grand
jury that express agents have positive
identification of people receiving whis,
key before it is delivered to them.

ANOTHER NOTE To
GERMANY ON THE
ACTIONS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec S.-A
new note to Germany on the general
submarine situation, aimed at clearing
up apparent differences Of interpreta-
ton in Washington and Berlin of Ger
many's pledges in the Sussex case, op-
appeared among the possibilities to-
day in connection with the sinking
OF the Arabia by a submarine. and the
less of American lives involved. Sec
retary Lansing said this afternoon no
final course had been decided upon.
The United States, is is learned, has
asked Great Britain for information
regarding the status of the British
steamer Arabia, which the German
submarine commander says he took for
an armed transport, and that official
information possessed by the state de-
partment established clearly that the
British steamer Marina, torpedoed
with the loss of six American lives,
was not transport, and was, there
for, entitled to the immunities of
peaceful merchantmen. Germany in
a communication to the state depart
ment. received several days ago, ex-
pressed willingness to make amends in
both cases in case it could be shown
that any of the pledges given this gov
ernment had been broken.
