Now Is the Time to Advertise.

1t is all a mistake to say that ad-
vertising in midsummer does notpay.
Really the off time of the year is one
of the best times to use printers ink.
The time to fertilize a cropis before
it natures, not when it is in its lazss
uriant, full bloom state. Dollars
sown in summer advertising yield
rich fall harvest.

Secretary Lansing had not studied today the trio of communications sub mitted to the department within the last 24 hours by Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican ambassador designate. They protested against the alleged action of a large column of General Pershing' $ men toward Mexican citizens, against the arrest of other MeXicans in the United States and against the general embargo, effected without procjama- tion stopping virtually all shipments in Mexico
 The protests are being treated as routine matters in the state depart ment Two of them relating to all legged improper treatment of Mexican citizens. require reports either from army officers or from federal civil au- thorities in California and Arizona be- fore any answer can be made
 The protest dealing with the em- bargo situation probably could be quickly disposed of In its note last 1 Sunday, the Washington government informed Gen. Carranza that it con strued as deliberately hostile, his or ders to General Trevino to limit b5 l force, the operations of General Per. shing's men. A formal repudiation O. this attitude has been requested of tho | de facto government. If any reply were made to MT. Arredondo pendins the receipt of some reply to that de mand, undoubtedly it would be pointed out that the U. $. government is no disposed to furnish supplies to a DO tential enemy
 MT Arredondo said tonight he woul, call attention of the state departmen
 to a rejert just received from tn i Mexican consul at Fl Paso that Mexican boy accompanied by his faith CT on train bound from Douglas
 Ariz, to Fl Paso had been beate into insensibility yesterday by tw
 American civilians who boarded u

train at Haehita, N. M The consul reported the boy had toy pistol which excited suspicion. The ambas. sador also let it be known that he had asked his government for information concerning a report that American troops had crossed the border pursu ing bandits near Iiachta yesterday.
 There was a dearth of border ad vices at the war department today Nothing was received. relating to any incident in Mexico which might be the basis for charges contained in Mir Ar redondo's note that American troops had mistreated a large number of Mexican citizens. The note will be submitted to General Funston so that report from General Pershing may be obtained
 The department was almost swamped however, by the accumulat- ing detailed work of getting 100000 na- tional guardsmen equipped and to the border in the shortest possible time. Reports to the quartermaster general showed that matters were moving swiftly under the unusual strain. | Troop, supply and stock trains are rushing southward over every avail able line New trains are starting every hour. A flood of railroad equip ment is converging on the border dis tribution points. Traffic experts of all lines involved are toiling night and day with army officials to see that no serious delay occurs.
 From manufacturers also every CO., ioperation is being received army off cals report. Secretary Baker made public today statement from his sup
 ply division chiefs that every need oi
 the national guards, clothing equip
 ment and food was. being met Il contained also the claim that arrange
 ments made would care for the situ- alton in that regard no matter how e many troops might be called out.

ject He will endeavOr to ascertain for the benefit of himself and his col leagues whether tender of good offices by the South and Central American republics would be entertained at this time. The minister said after his first conference with Secretary Lam sing on Monday, that he understood the United States to be unwilling even to discuss the subject of mediation or arbitration while the captured Amer ican troopers, remained in custody
 It is. known that powerful influ- cnces have been brought to bear on Carranza in the last few days to make him at least turn over the American prisoners. Prominent Mex jeans in the United States as well as American bankers and business inter ests with influence in Mexican affairs have flooded the first chief with mes eages. They all sent him the same warning-that the United States gov ernment meant business that to hold the prisoners would mean war
 Secretary Baker waited at the war department until late tonight for a re- port from Gen. Funston on General Trevino's announcement that he had sent the cavalrymen to Juarez to be set free. He finally went home with out the report President Wilson and Secretary Lansing also retired with out hearing of the news except through newspaper Correspondents.
 The president now expects to fill al engagement which he almost had de cided to cancel, to address the Aoso- ciated Advertising Clubs of the World in convention at Philadelphia tomor' row afternoon.
 The last word from Special Agen
 Rodgers at Mexico City, message dated yesterday, and received early to l day, said he expected to be handed tn i note tonight. He gave no ntimatioi of what might be it's contents.

marine appeared to be maneuvering so as to direct her shots from ahead of | the steamer. The submarine fired ap- proXlmately 2 shots. The majority of the shots were fired after the ship had stopped and had swung broadside and While, as even the commander of the submarine admits the steamer was fly ing the American flag.
 If the ship had intended to ram the submarine she would not have stopped her engines and this must have been evident to the submarine commander" The conduct of the submarine com ! mander showed lack of judgment and i dlsrespect to all navigation laws. The captain. of the steamer swears that he informed the commander of
 the submarine that he had only suf- .ficient provision to. reach the port of
 Algiers and that he would deliver pro- visions only under compulsion. He
 states positively in his affidavit and in conservation with officials of the de-
 partment, that he did not give pro-
 visions readily nor did he say it be-
 cause he felt that he was being com
 pelled to deliver food in violation of 1 law. The statement of the captain of
 the Petrolite is entirely at variance Ywith the report of the submarine com | mander
 In the absence of other and more satisfactory explanation of the attack than that contained in the note ad- 1 dressed to the foreign office. the gov ernment of the U. $. is compelled to regard the conduct of the commander of the submarine in attacking the Petro- lite and in coercing the captain as a deliberate insult to the flag of the United States and an invasion, of the
 rights of American citizens, for which
 this government request that an apol- ogy be made; that the commander of the submarine be punished, and that reparation be made for the injuries
 sustained by the payment, of a suit ] able indemnity.
 Please communicate with foreign of
 flee the sense of foregoing. You may add that this government
 believes that the Austro- Hungarian
 government will promptly comply with
 these requests, in view of their mani
 fest justness and the high sense of
 honor of that government, which would
 not it is believed, permit an indignity
 to be offered to the flag of a friendly
 power or wrong to it's nationals by
 an Austro- Hungarian naval officer
 without making immediate and ample
 amends"

 General Bell, in keeping with his custom of maintaining close secrecy regarding all military developments, refused to say whether or not he had received tie message. He said that all announcements must come, from General Funston at San Antonio.
 On receipt of word that, General Funston had given out the contents of the message, he said that no escort would be sent to meet the prisoners | in the morning, but that an officer would be delegated to take command of them and lead them to Fort Bliss. Mexican officials tonight were hap fpy over the turn in events. They de- clared that this would mean a lessen ing of the tension of the last few days
 General Francisco Gonzales, Juarez commander and Andres Garcia, Mex ican consul at Fl Paso, both declared , themselves optimistic of the future. < This shows that we don't want war unless it is forced upon us," said
 Mr. Gar eia.
