EFFORT FOR MEDIATION

New York, June 24.-Gongalo S. Cardova, minister from Ecuador to the United States. announced through hls secretary tonight that he would leave for Washington late tonight or early tomorrow to confer with other South
 American diplomats in an effort to bring about mediation between the United States and Mexico
 Dr, Cardova said he had received in- structions from Senor R. H. Elizalde, the foreign minister of Ecuador, directing him to confer with the other diplo- mats, and stating he had sent messages to the foreign ministers of all Latin American countries urging them to di- 1 rect their representatives at Washing ton to use their good offices in an ef- fort to avert a conflict.
 | q feel that war can be averted if immediate and energetic steps are taken, said Dr. Cardova through his son, who acts as his secretary 1 He added that while he could, or course, communicate with his fellow l diplomats by telegraph he felt that much more could be accomplished by seeing l them personally. He expects to confer with the other Latin-Americap envoys as soon as he reaches Washington and predicted that the way could be cleared | for a mediation conference early in the week.

DO NOT EXPECT MILLENNIUM

No. the suffragists do not believe
 that giving the ballot to women will
 bring about the millennium. They do
 not believe that equal suffrage will be
 panacea for all ills of the body po-
 litic. But they do believe that the women will be able to accomplish
 many things needed for the advance ment and development of the country. The record already made shows that. And the theory that women With the ballot will receive a hearing from the political powers can no longer be dis puted We do not base our claims for suffrage on the ground that women are being oppressed or that they are down trodden. There are countless economic factors favoring suffrage which are now so well known and so generally recognized that it is not necessary to | enumerate them.
 "The silent parade of the suffragists | at St. Louis was a most impressive l feature of the convention. The weath i CT there was ideal and formed a strik- | ing contrast to the situation at Chi | cago where it was cold and r9ined ali | the time. One of the most amusing 1 features of the democratic convention l and one which was enjoyed greatly by | the delegates and the suffragsts oc- | cured when Congressman J. Thomas l Heflin of Alabama addressed tho body. I w | his speech one of the suffragists in the audience made her way to the plat I form unnoticed and suddenly obened q l large yellow suffrage umbrella over | him. On account of the strenuous i manner in which the Alabamian has at 1 times opposed suffrage, the incident | created much amusement.
 | 'In fact the suffraglsts furnish e,i | most of the excitement at the demo- | cratic convention. The onlN time there l was any interest was when the sut- I frange plank was up for considera- | ton. The speech of Governor Fergu- ] son in opposition to the majority re l port favoring the plank was one Of l the old style anti-suffrage speeches. | One of the remarkable features in cor
 nection with the debate on suffrage 1 was the frankness with which the 1 democratic leaders declared that the i adoption of the plank was a necessary
 matter of expediency. since the repub~ liacns had already adopted a plank along the same lines. The 91 electoral
 votes and the 4,000.000 women voters l were assigned by the speakers for the 1 plank as ample reason for it's adoption

ELEVEN ARE FOUND

Washington. June 24.-General Funston reported late today to the war department that Il survivors of the CarriZal fight had returned to General Pershng's line. Six teen were reported to have been pic.led up by the cavalry relief column and l. to have been captured by the Mexicans, leaving unaccounted for 40 of the S4 of- fcers and men who were under Captain Boyd.
 A dispatch from General Pershing, transmitted by General Funston, said none of the rescued troopers knew what had been the fate of their commander, and that their stories were so vague that it was impossible to get clear idea of what had happened The message re- ferred to several troopers returning ''by another route" but officials thought it meant some of the 16 picked up by the relief column.

Several of his men probably also were wounded and circled by ring of fire. cut off from lwater and without food, it is feared they could not hold cut until reinforcement reached them even if they were able to slave off and hold in check the Mexican at tacks.
 It is believed at headauarters here that the six men found at San Luis ranch took part in at least part ef the fight at Carrizal It is thouGEt probable they were cut off from the other Americans and forced to flee 10 escape capture or certain death.

 General Funston received word from Gen Leonard Wood that the troops of these states would be ready to starr for the border Wednesday. They will go direct to the stations assigned then. which, however. have not been made public for reasons of military eXpe- diency.
 General Funston was notified today that number of new aeroplanes had been ordered by the war department from five eastern manufacturers fer service on the border and that the first of the machines would reach the bor- der probably within a week.
 flying base and aviation school will be established at Columbus. N. M., and another at Fort Sam Houston l'ermis- sion has been given to employ civilian aviators. There is now not a single aeroplane ready for service on the bor- der
 One machine is being tuned up at Columbus but is not yet ready for heavy duty. The arrival of the new aerOplaneS will it is believed make unnecessary the long scouting trips from General Pershing's base. the latest of which ended in the battle at Car rizal

 Captain Boyd was wounded twice, once in the arm and once in the shoulder. In the final rush on the entrenched Mexi- cans Captain Boyd fell dead, shot through the body. Without checking their ad- vance c troop. led by Lieut.. Harry Adair, dashed on after the fleeing Mexicans into the town. That was the last seen of them by the men found at San Luis ranch. Apparently they found themselves in danger of capture from Mexicans ap- preaching from the rear and General Pershing's report gives no further de- tails of the fate of Adair and his men.
 Captain Mercy was shot through the shoulder while advancing with K troop on the irrigation ditch. His men, how ever, were outflanlSed by superior force of Mexicans and were forced to seek shelter in an adobe house. When last seen by the stragglers they were return ing a spirited fire through windows and loop holes punched in the adobe walls to the Mexicans, which entirely sur rounded their shelter and were pouring a stream of bullets at every opening.
 It is assumed by officers at head quarters here that Captain Mercy, 1r spite of the wound through his shoul- der was able to lead his men into the adobe house.
