MARRIED MEN TO GO
HOME, SAYS SECRETARY
Guardsmen With Dependent Families
to Be ReIieved-Reserves Are
Ordered Out.

Washington, July S.-Married men
who have families dependent on them
will be excused from service in the
National Guard units of the country
during their present mobilization for
Mexican border service. Secretary OF
War Baker made this announcement.
The discharge with honor will be CIV
en-. Under the order a member Of the
Guard who is supporting a dependent
father or mother may also be excused
from service
Secretary Baker and his advisers de-
cided that this step was imperative to
meet appeals which have been flood
ing the war department in behalf OF
thousands of Guardsmen whose fam
lilies have been left destitute by the
presidents call upon the state forces
for service on the Mexican border.
Subsequently the war department
called out the regular army reserves,
consisting of between 1000 and 5000
former soldiers, to fill the gaps in the
new regiments created by the recently
enacted army law.
The first order applies to Guardsmen
who have reached the border and also
to those who are on the way there or
in the state mobilization camps pre-
pairing for departure.
The order calling out the regu-
lar army reserve was announced by
the war department in the following
statement:
THE war department is going to call
out the regular army reserves. The
new national defense act passed on
June provides certain additional regi-
ments for the regular army. The men
in the reserve are to be used to fill up
the ranks of these new regiments"

GOING TO CANADA is EASY.
Dominion Government Says American
Travellers Suffer No inconvenience.

Ottawa, Canada, July 10.-Informa-
ton from many sources has reached
the Canadian government that many
American summer tourists DESTROYS OF
visiting Canadian recreation places
are not doing so because of seeming
ly general belief that Americans are
not permitted to visit Canada without
obtaining passports, and being sub
iected to the inconvenience of travel
found in the warning nations of Eu-
rope.
To correct this the government has
issued a statement to the effect that
there is no CONSUMPTION of any kind
in force in Canada other than that of
British-born subjects who would be
subject to consumption if living in
England. This would not apply to
anyone born in England who is now
naturalized American citizen.
Canada is recruiting troops for
service in Europe, but recruiting OIL
GERS are not permitted to solicit en-
listments from any but native or nat
uralized Canadians.
Tourists or other travellers from the
limited States to Canada are not sub
iected to any Inconvenience of any
kind other than the usual customs ex-
animation of baggage that has always
been customary. Passports or other
official means of identification are not
needed. but it is suggested that those
born in foreign countries, and now
naturalized American citizens, carry
with them their certificates of natural
iZatiOn.

HAPPINESS Away From Home.

My little nephew was making long

verse-his mother could not keep him
indoors.

INFANTILE EPIDEMIC
NOW UNDER CONTROL
Praised by Surgeon of Federal
Health Service.

Washington, July 11.-"Doctor EN-
erSon, the New York health commits
sioner and his aids, have, by their
| prompt and efficient action checked
what promised to be the greatest cpl
| demic of all times"
This was the statement of DR.. W.
| G. Rucker, assistant surgeon general
of the United States public health
service, on his return from New York,
where he has been directing the work
| of a staff of government surgeons
against the infantile paralysis epi-
demic.
"The situation looks encouraging to
me-" Doctor Rucker said. Il think it
now is under control. OF course /
don't know what turn things might
take in the future, but it looks as if
we had checked the infantile paralysis
epidemic, at any rate. We will not
stop work, however, until we are as
sured that there will be no chance for
a recurrence of the epidemic"
Doctor Rucker will lay before the
United States public health service
two plans for stopping the spread Of
the disease. One of these is for the
study and inspection of every individ-
ual in the country suspected of being
carrier Of infantile paralysis, and
the other will be the thorough clean
ing of every passenger car that leaves
New York.
Doctor Rucker will also recommend
that all persons who are suspected of
being carriers of the disease who live
in New York be required to report TO
health officers before they leave the
city, stating their destinations. Re
strictions upon the travel of these per-
sons will also be imposed.

TEXT OF CARRANzA NOTE

Washington, D. c., Jlly 4, 1916.
"Mr. Secretary:
ct have the honor to transmit
in continuation the text of a note
l have just received from my gov
eminent with instructions to pre-
sent it to your excellency:
"Mr. Secretary:
Referring to the notes of June
20 and % last, have the honor
to say to your excellency that the
immediate release of the Carrizal
prisoners was a further proof Of
the sincerity of the desires of this
government to reach pacific and
satisfactory arrangement OF
present difficulties. This govern
ment is anxious to solve the pres
ent conflict and it would be un-
Just if it's attitude would be mis-
interpreted.
Urges Withdrawal of Troops.
att was also the Mexican gov
eminent that earnestly suggested
a plan for environments along the
boundary line during the confer
ences of Ciudad, JuareZand Ell PssO
This government is disposed now,
as it has always been, to seek an
immediate solution of the two
points which constitute the true
causes of the conflict between the
two countries, to-wit: the Ameri-
lean government believes reason
ably that the insecurity of its from
tier is a source of difficulty, and
the Mexican government on its
part believes that the stay of
American troops on Mexican terri
tory, aside from being trespass on
the sovereignty Of Mexico, is the
immediate cause of the conflict.
Therefore, the withdrawal of
American troops, on the one hand,
and the protection of the frontier,
on the other, are the two essen
tial problems, the solution of
which must be the directing OBJ
ject of the efforts Of both govern
ments.
1.-The Mexican government is
willing to consider in quick and
practical way and prompted by a
spirit of concord the remedies
which should be applied to the
present situation.
"'Several Latin-American coun-
tries have offered their friendly
mediation to the Mexican govern
ment, and the latter has accepted
it in principle. Therefore, the
Mexican government only awaits
information that the government
of the United States would be
disposed to accept this mediation
for the purpose mentioned above
or whether it is still of the belief
that the same results may be OBJ
tanned by means of direct negoti-
atoms between both governments.
To Avoid New Complications.
"'In the meantime this govern
ment proposes to employ all eff
forts that may be at it's disposal
to avoid the recurrence of new in
cidents which may complicate and
aggravate the situation. At the
same time it hopes that the Amer
lean government on it's part may
make all efforts to prevent also
any new acts of it's military and
civil authorities on the frontier
that may cause new complications.
"I avail myself of this oppor-
tunity to reiterate to your keel
lency the assurance of my most
distinguished consideration.
