| portance. It's nature, however, is be-
| ing held secret by the administration.
The troops now on the border and
in Mexico will be brought up to total
of approximately 175,OOO men by this
order An army officer said, explain
ing the order:
when it developed that the Scott
Obregon conference was a failure, the
President ordered approximately 10O,-
600 guardsmen to the border for the
purpose of repression and for it's effect
upon General Carranza, in making him
come to terms. 1t was a threat of in
tervention.
"The impression grows stronger
every day that the Mexican-American
commission may fail before it begins
it's sessions, and that General Carranza
may nullify it because Eliseo Arredon-
do, Mexican ambassador-des ignate, is
not plenipotentiary. Therefore, the
ORDER"
The United States will not accept
the latest note from General Carranza
and appoint American commissioners
to sit with the Mexican members
named by General Carranza in the
commission to adjust the differences
between the two countries until all
doubt as to the exact meaning of Gen
eral Carranza's communication, deliv-
cred to the state department, has been
cleared up.
Carranza stated that he considered
it "of the greatest Importance that
prompt decision be reached" on the
points which have caused existing diff
ferences. 1t was said at the state de-
partment that no action will be taken
until the exact meaning of the Spanish
word "preferentiamente," translated
preferably by the Mexican embassy,
has been ascertained This word was
used in the Carranza note in reference
to the points he enumerated in his for
mer note for discussion. He did not
definitely reply to the United States
proposal of enlarging the commissions
powers to cover other questions.

DANES PAY GERMANY $22, 100000
FOR BREACH OF NEUTRALITY

AMSTERDAM, Aug. IA. Denmark
has been forced to pay a secret in
demnity to Germany for failure to
observe strict neutrality.
The indemnity exacted is declared
to be as much as 80,O00,0O0 kronen
($22,400,0OO).
The offense occurred last winter
when the Baltic sea was invaded by
British ships. To enter the Baltic
from the North sea it is necessary to
pass through Danish waters, strongly
guarded by forts.
Germany secured evidence that the
English submarines could not have
entered the Baltic without the per-
mission or connivance of the Danish
government. Of all the Scandinavian
country the Danes are the strongest
sympathizers with the allies and have
the strongest antipathy to Germany
According to the best informed
bankers, it was agreed, when Den
mark finally consented to pay 80,OO0,
600 kronen damages to the satisfac,
tion of Germany's claims, that the
transaction should not be published.
Denmark then pressed the negotia-
tions with the United States for the
sale of the Danish West Indies for
$25, 100000.

LAUNCH 2 U. S. SUBMARINES
HERE ON AUGUST 81

LONG BEACH, Aug. Is. Two L
submarines which have been under
construction at the California Ship
building company yards at Long
Beach will be launched on the morn
ing of August 81, if the sanction of
the government is secured, according
to announcement made by the ship
building company.
The submarines, each of which has
cost $560,000, will be launched with
out their engines, as the engines have
been made in st. Louis and are not
yet shipped to this coast. 1t will
take four or five months to complete
the boats after their launching, it is
stated.
w. B. Fogarty, in charge of the
navy office in the shipbuilding yards,
has supervised the construction of the
submarines, which are intended for
the navy on this coast.
