tion when the Colonel resumed:
Il won't take married men with
families dependent upon them. 1t is an
outrage that a man whose wife and chill
dren are dependent upon him should be
compelled to 60"
The Colonel had emphatically declared
when invited to participate in the Fourth
Of July ceremonies that he would not
speak. But the unprecedented throng and
its American spirit got the better of
him

BORDER POLICY
HINGES ON NOTE
FROM CARRANzA
Documents Tone May Seri-
ously Affect Wilson S Plan
of Gradual Withdrawal.
Def WILL BALK SCHEME
Embassy Officials Maintain
Note Is Conciliatory, Offer
ing Basis of Settlement

Secretary OF State Lansing was in
formed yesterday that Carrsnza's reply
to the last two American notes will be
delivered to him today.
Eliseo Arredondo. Carranzas ambas-
sador-designate, received the 2OOo-word
State Department was closed for the
holiday. the Carranza representative ar.
ranged to deliver the note today.
Administration officials awaited receipt
OF the note with anxiety, since its tone
may seriously AFFECT President Wilson
present determination to withdraw the
American troops from Mexico.
The thing officials fear is that II Car
rama continues his defiant demand for
withdrawal Of troops, public sentiment
may balk the Presidents plan to bring
Gen. Pershing's forces across the border
in face Of threats. and at a time when
thousands of militia are entralning for
the border.
Mexican Embassy officials yesterday
said the note was conciliatory in tone and
offered basis Of amicable settlement of
the differences between the two govern
ments. Administration officials were in
cllned TO discount this. however, since
the embassy took the same view Of pre-
ceding notes which were found to be ex-
tremely distasteful and insulting in tone
when delivered.
81 En
MISUNDERSTANDING Arredondo re-
fused to give out the note for publication
or to discuss It in advance of its delivery
to the State Department.
Other embassy officials said the note
covered the following points:
1t reiterates Carranza's ability to pro-
tect the American border without the aid
Of United States troops in Mexico.
1t urges that the presence OF American
troops is largely responsible for the un-
settled conditions, and declares their
withdrawal is necessary to eliminate a
cause OF friction and difficulty
1t does not reply specifically to the de-
mand made in the last note for an ex-
PLANTATION Of Carranza's intentions, but
goes into a general discussion Of the Car
rizal attack from the Mexican viewpoint
Finally. 1t states the Mexican govern
ment has expressed itself as to the prin-
cipal OF mediation and asks the United
States to record its views, adding that
direct negotiations between the two gov
ernments should be successful without
mediation.
Embassy officials said the note was
written by Gen. Carranza himself. The
delay in the arrival Of the note was due
to the fact that the communication was
rewritten after the Presidents speech in
New York last Friday night was tele-
graphed to Mexico City.
The note was greatly modified in tone
as result of the Presidents speech, it
is understood here.
The reception given President Wilson s
New York speech, army officers believe,
induced the sudden change OF question of
retaining troops in Mexico.
Army officers said yesterday the mo-
bilization of an army of upwards of 1Oo-
600 National Guardsmen on the border
may make it extremely difficult for the
United States to avoid trouble and fric-
ton with Mexico.

STORY OF
NUMBER 40

40 years ago an old doctor was putting
up a medicine for diseases Of the blood.
that cured the worst cases OF specific
blood poison, and time proved that the
cures were permanent. After many years
secured the prescription (being a
druggist) and took each ingredient sep
arately and referred to my u. S. Dispen-
satory and other books on medicine and
found the medicinal properties set down
as follows: Employed in diseases of the
glandular system, in blood poison, scrof-
ula, constipation, stomach and liver trou-
sores, ulcers, skin eruptions, mercurial
and lead poisoning. Under it's use
nodes, tumors and scrofulous swellings
that have withstood all other treatment
disappear as If by sgic." To commem-
crate my fortieth year as a druggist
named this medicine Number 40 For the
Blood. ]. c. Mend anhan, Evansville,

ROE TO PLAY THE
'PEP5' At MAXENT

For the second time, the strong
team from the destroyer Roe will
cross bats with the "Peps" of Pensa-
cole. The game will be called this
afternoon at $3.50 o'clock at Maxent
park, and from the interest developed
upon the occasion OF the first game
in which these two teams were the
contenders, there will probably be a
large number out to the game.
The lineup of the sailors is as fol-
lows: Cakes, catcher; Van Border,
pitcher; Berg, short stop; Resch,
first bast; Coley, second base; San
ders, third base; Kerr, left field;
Strynoe, center field; Coley, G.
right field;; Schultz, utility man.
Owing to the fact that the Roe
team lost to the Pops last Friday, the
Sailors are intent upon getting re-
venge and expect to come back
stronger than ever in order to win to-
day.
The Roe win play the Old Timers
Sunday afternoon at Maxent park
and the battery win be announced
| later.
Last Sundays game was anybody:
the ground being in such a dampenec
condition that 1t was impossible tt
play the game as the teams would de.
sire.
