Failure to Comply With Demands of
Government il is Understood viii
Precipitate War With the
United States.

Washington demand for the
immediate release of the American
troopers taken prisoner at Carrizal,
coupled with a stern notification that
the United States expects an early
statement OF the purposes of the Car
rama government, was telegraphed to
Mexico City Sunday by Secretary
Lansing. Failure to comply with the
demand undoubtedly would result in
the gravest consequences.
The note discloses that the state de-
partment had received a communica
tion from the de facto government
stating that the 'Carrizal fight was the
direct result of orders to attack Amer
lean soldiers moving otherwise than
by General Carranza to General Ire
vino and by the latter communicated
to General Pershing.
In reply Secretary Lansing requires
that the de facto government transmit
definite statement "as to the course
of action it has determined upon
through the usual diplomatic channels,
'and not through subordinate military
officers"
The Mexican communication is con
strued, Secretary Lansing states, "as
a formal avowal of deliberately hos
tile action against the forces of the
United States now in Mexico and OF
the purpose to attack without provo
cation whenever they move from their
present position" despite the friendly.
mission on which they are engaged
and which is reaffrmed in the Amer
ican rejoinder.
General Camanza is required to
place himself OH record formally, and
the plain intimation lies behind the
restrained language of Mr.. Lansing's
communication that force will be met
with force Apparently. however, the
Washington government is determined
that the de facto government shall
not evade responsibility before the
world if war is forced upon the United
States.

DIETRICH WILL
CELEBRATE FOURTH
Big Time Assured All Who Spend Day
In Neighboring City

At meeting held on Monday night
the executive committee, the chairman
OF various committees, the business
men of Dietrich and several interested
rancbers discussed plans for the Home
Picnic on the Fourth of July and ar
ranged the following program:
AT 10 O'Clock sharp the parade will
start up Main street past the park and
return to the depot on Park street.
The parade will he made up of floats
furnished for the occasion by various
organizations, merchants and ranchers,
who have stock or anything of personal
or community interest to exhibit. This
will be followed by automobiles, BIZ
cycles, saddle horses ridden by girls
and boys, and by the ever present
clown. The parade will be headed by
the Marshal, Ollie Bates, and the gaests
of honor. There will be a reviewing
stand and prize will be given for the
best exhibit or float. The committee
in charge of the parade, Ancel Carnegie
and Vance Shellman have already re-
ceived enough applications to form a
line one half-mile long. They are
anxious to have more entries, for they
want every interest and ranch on the
tract represented in some manner.
They have requested that the line for
the parade form on Washington street
near the railroad and that all shooting
of fireworks be omitted during the
formation and marching of the parade.
From 10 to IL o, clock and from l to
the Better Baby contest will be held at
the hotel at which DIR. Zeller will act
as judge. The regular score card
will be used. There will be at least
four different contests.
1st for babies months or less.
End for babies to IL months old.
3rd for babies l to l-2 years old
4th for babies IL to years old.
1t is hoped all babies on the tract
will be entered for one of these con-
tests. The church will be open all day
and mothers may use it as a rest room.
The committee in charge, Mrs. Pierce
Mrs. Houston and Mrs. w. Patterson
are hoping to be able to secure good
photographer who Will take pictures at
reasonable prices during the day.
This hour will also be given over to
general visiting and baseball game.

tory of America, says the democratic
platform. True, but no more true
than that the past three years has
been critical period in American
history and the American people have
had cause to regret that we did not
have at the head of the government
man of such sound Judgment and
force of character as to raise this ma
ton rather than lower it in the es-
TEEN of the rest of the world.
The democratic platform declares
that 1--WE reaffirm our declarations

service laws" l should have added:

we were in 1912.
The Saturday Evening Post re-
marks that commercial failures in
1915 were proportionately more nu-
merous than in the hard times period
from, 1898 to 1896, and that the NOR
tality in 1915 was greatest among
the smaller concerns. While the Post
was merely stating facts without any
intent that they should have any
political bearing, it is impossible to
read the statement without compar-
ing it with the assertion of Senator
Simmons, chairman of the U. S. Sen
ate Finance Committee, that the dem
ocratic tariff and currency measures
dealt staggering blows to big combi-
nations. There is no doubt as to the
staggering blows dealt by the tariff
law, but there is room to doubt, in
view of the statistics of the Saturday
Evening Post, that it was the big
combinations that were hit
