Outcome Depends on Carranza.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 26--I
Whether war between the United States
and Mexico is to ensue at once de
Ponds today wholly upon formal dec
laration of policy by Gen. Carranza.
This declaration of intentions has been
demanded already and a response to
Secretary Lansing's note telegraphed
to Mexico City, is expected hourly this
afternoon.
While the immediate and uncondi-
tional release of seventeen American
cs,valrymen, all negroes, captured by
Mexicans after the Carrizal fight, is
being insisted upon, officials here this
afternoon explained that the United
States course of action is to be deter
mined by Carranzas final statement of
his intentions toward the American
punitive expedition now in that coun-
| try. 1t is explained, however that
Carranza will be required to make i'm
mediate response to the demand for
such a declaration, and failure to Go
this cannot be construed other than
as an hostile act,
The war department at noon today
had not receive the letter from Capt.
| Morrey, giving the first official Amer
lean version of the Carrizal fighting, al
though Capt Morrey was reported as
safe in one of Gen. Pershing's camps.
The published text of Mocrey's letter
/ is construed here, however, as indicat-
| ing the American scouting party was
partly responsible for the clash Capt.
Morrey's official account, is TO be made
the basis of Judgment, however, rather
| than a hurried note written by m m
expecting death, and this official re-
port has not yet been received in Wash
ington.
The Mexican note admitting that
Gen. Carranza had personally direct
ed Jac1nto Trevino, the de facto gov
eminent commander in Chihuahua, to
resist the movements of American
troops in that state, is real issue at
stake now. The Washington govern
ment CONSTITUTES this admission as a
formal avowal of hostile action, ana
demands that Carranza state through
diplomatic cfannes his ultimate AID
immediate purpose in issuing such an
order.

a: Carrizal, coupled with stern mott
fication that the United States expects
an early statement of the purposes of
the Carranza government, was tele-
graphed to Mexico City Sunday by Sec

that the state department has received
communication from the de fact0

fight was the direct result of orders to
tack American soldiers moving other
wise than toward the border, person

HAS GHOST COME
BACK To HAUNT?

ATLANTA, Ga, June 2S.-Has the
ghost of William Jackson come bach
t. haunt the Tree That Owns It,
self?
That's the tale they are telling in
Athens, Ga, where on a big hill in
the center of the city stands a giant
white oak, the only tree that OWES
itself, trunk, twig and leaf, together
with eight feet of land ON all sides.
Early in the nineteenth century Viii
liam Jackson was one of the largest
plantation owners of Clarke county.
Under the white oak, which is four
or five hundred years old, he used to
sit and write and direct his slaves at
work. When he died, this paragraph
was found in his will:
For and in consideration of the
great love | bear this tree and th2
great deisre l have for its protection
for all time, 1 convey entire possess
ion of itself and all land within eigb.
feet of the tree on all sides"
Now comes the report that a phaH-
tom has been seen beneath the Tree
That Owns Itself
A mere mist of man, fading into
mconshine, a man with powdered wig
and knee breeches, broad hat with a
golden buskle and laces and frills, sit
ting there under the tree. with one
hand resting gently on the rough barb.
Was it the ghost of William Jack
son?

M ARTHUR SUES FOR
$4,000 DAMAGES
In His Complaint Alleges Part
Of Prohibition Law Is Un-
constitutional

Portland, Or, May "A libel suit
for $4,000 damages against r. 2. Hut
ton, secretary of the Oregon Anti-So-
loon league, filed by Representative
.C. N. Macarthur, was on file here to-
day.
In the same suit Macarthur declares a
portion of the Oregon prohibition law
is unconstitutional.
The suit is the result of political
squabble. When Macarthur refused to
declare himself in favor of submitting
national prohibition amendment to
the voters, Hutton issued circular
attacking him. In the same circular
Hutton extolled the virtues of E. V.
Littlefield, MeArthur's principal oppo-
nent.
McArthru s suit declares that Little
field, as chairman Of the committee on
alcoholic traffic in the state legisla-
ture last year recommended the pass
age of the present prohibition law with
alleged unconstitutional provisions.
The portion of the law which permits
druggists to sell grain alcohol, Ne
Arthur asserts, violates the cOnstitu-
tional amendment which says that no
alcohol shall be sold within the state.

COMPANY M, WILL
AID IN EXERCISES
ON MEMORIAL DAY
Committee Appointed to Co.
operate With Other Com
mittees on May 80

Every member of Company NJ, O. N.
c., voted last night to lend all pos
sible assistance to the g. A. r. com
mittees in charge of the Memorial
Day exercises to make the coming mem
orial day the most successful ever held
in the city. A committee consisting
of Corporal Joseph McAllistef and pri-
Yates John H. Carson and Paul Wal
lace was named to take charge of the
affair for the company and to work in
cooperation with the various commit
tees appointed from the other organi-
cations in Salem who will take part in
the exercises.
No plans were offered or made last
night at the company meeting as it
was not known what the other com
mittees had in mind but the company
expressed its willingness to follow out
any plans that were made by the com
mittees in charge.
The local militia company also plans
three day, whirlwind recruiting cam
paign to be completed May 5 which is
60 days prior to the state encamp-
ment To draw federal pay the mem
bers of the company must have had IA
drills and have been enlisted 60 days
before the encampment and the com
plny proposes to take at least 100 men
to camp this year.
Company NJ is the largest infantry
company in the United States at pres
ent and proposes also to show the rest
of the world that it is also the best
company in the United States outside
of the regular army. Since a number
of the present members of the comp any
will be unable to attend the state en-
campment it is proposed to bring in
at least 25 new recruits in order that
the company may present its full war
strength even at camp.
To add rivalry to the contest the
two platoons will contest for the honor
of being designated the first platoon
| and the one whose members bring in
the largest number of recruits will be
given the honor of the name First pla-
toon and will march at the head of the
company.
The prizes for the recruiting contest
which ends before the annual inspec-
ton were given out last night. Sar-
geant H. F. McInturff, who brought
in % recruits won first prize, a nand-
some gold watch; Sergeant Max L. AL

an electric flash light, and Sergeant
/ L. Grallap won third prize, field com

The sale of season tickets for the

OF the W. H. S. has begun. The tick
cts may be obtained from any Senior
at the usual price SIPS for adults
and rs cents for pupils.
The first number will be The Schu-
mann Quintet, Friday October 13,
1916. This company renders classical
programs, bringing to- the Lyceum a
new idea, that of presenting sym
phonic concerts with a company of
only five members. Mr. Lampert, the
organizer, in his historic introduction
and interpretations has a message for
the masses and the Schumann pro-
grams are as educational as they are
entertaining.
The second number of the course on
Monday November 13, 1916, will be a
solid lecture by Chancellor Geo. H
Bradford. He is a man of big ideas
big purposes, strong character, ca
pable of working out great problems
in way suited to somewhat unusua

THE VALUE OF HEALTH.

What profiteth a man that he gain
the whole world yet lose his health
Naturalists say that long ago the
prehistoric waters were infested with
a species of enormous shark which
finally became extinct by means of the
workings of it's voracious appetite.
Thus! Nature eliminates the over
fed.
The desire for ease of life and plen-
tiful diet is universal and is the great
stimulus of man and animals alike.
When man becomes greedy and takes
more ease and food and drink than is
his share, Nature discards him..
In the race for power and place,
for ease of circumstance and relief
from the stimulus of hunger, the mo-
dern man is apt to forget that unless
be made to suffer for the infraction of
Natures inexorable physical law.
With the loss in body tone comes an
equal loss in mental acuity and the
brain which or a time was able to
operate despite the complaints of an
over-fed, under-exercised, self-poison-
ed body, stops working.
Statisticans have discovered that
the mortality rate of persons in the
United States over 45 years of age is
increasing. The strenuous life of to-
day is not alone responsible for this
Lack of health-giving exercise, super
fluffy of diet, lack of restoring sleep
er-stimulation, the high pressure OF
the race for power, wealth and posi-.
ton, plus physical neglect, these bring
early decay. The goal is reached
wealth is amassed, honor, position anc
power are just being grasped when
