No Immediate Intention to
Press Carranza for Reply.
Believe L. S. Has Private As.
surance From First Chief.
ULTIMATUM" A DEAD ISSUE
Serious Consequences Threat
ened Not Serious Yet.
Lansing Says Troops Are to
Stay in Mexico.
BY CARL ID. GROAT.

Washington, July 3.-"For the mo-
ment," the United States government
will not press Carranza to answer its
demands for a statement as to his at
titude on INSTRUMENTATION relations.
The state department announced this
today saying the situation is in status
quo for the present, due especially in
view of the relief of tension by Car
ranza's surrender of the prisoners at
Chihuahua
At the same time Secretary of State
Lansing declared: There is no
change in policy regarding keeping
the American forces in Mexico as far
as I know"
Asked to Speed Up, But
The fact that Lansing has made no
effort to extract an answer from Car
rama since requesting Ambassador
Arredondo to speed the reply was in
terpreted as meaning that this gov
eminent has had secret assurances
that Carranza will adjust the situa-
ton if given time. Indications from
the department statement were that 1t
will continue to wait on Carranza I'M
less there should be sinister develop
ments below the border. The depart
ment said there might be several cir
cumstances'' under which a statement
of CarranZa's attitude would become
most Immediately pressing.
1t was intimated the release of the
prisoners nad SO renewed the SIludllOi1
that the administration could afford to
wait until Carranza had had an OPP
portunity to adjust matters at home
without antagonizing Mexico or the
United States.
Why Line Is Shortened.
The war department explained the
shortening of Pershing's line as based
on thoroughly good strategic reasons,
chief among which is the difficulty of
sustaining his forces on the arid land
below the border
The war department explained today
that while it was without official infor-
nation as to how far PerShing had re-
tired, his concentration was based on
good military strategy. Particularly
was this true because of the difficulty
of sustaining Pershing's forces and
especially his hol ses, in the arid coun-
try below the border, where the rainy
season has failed to appear. 1t was
announced at the press bureau today
that there is no reason for a COM
plete withdrawal. provided Pershing' 5
lines stretch only 100 miles south of
the border. The bureau, however re-
ferred inquirers to the state depart
ment and the White House.

RESISTANCE STUBBORN
Germans Putting Up Strong Fight;
Can't Withstand Avalanche of Steel.

Paris, July S.-"General results ex-
cellent," is the version of the Partisan
press on the achievements of the sec
ond day of the great Franco-British
offensive. All the newspapers assert
that what was accomplished is rather
more substantial than sensational
They declare that the mistake made
in the Champagne battle will not be
repeated, that men cannot fight until
the ground has been prepared, so far
as is humanely possibly by artillery.
No sector of the Franco-British forces
was advanced beyond the line assign
ed to it. they say, however tempting
might have appeared the chance of
smashing further lines.
The story of an artillery corporal
who was wounded while in an observa-
ton post at Maricourt is cited to show
that his method is sound. The corporal
said
II was able to see for myself that
our losses were quite small and 1 not
only hope, but am certain, that our
means of action will enable US to forge
ahead without much waStage of men.
This is due to the prodigiOus accumu-
lation of munitions of all sorts made
by the allies along the whole northern
front.
Many Deeds of ValOr
s'I witnessed the first bombardment
of the German troops and works. 1t
was a wonderful sight. The effects
were terrifying 1t is not possible that
any work of defense. however, strong
or ingenious, can resist such an ava
ianche of steel. How many men must
lie buried in the ruins. The Ger
man reply is no less terrible and the
most stubborn resistance must be
counted on, for the enemy may be

All those adjoining the figure ana
face of his lawfully welded wife nave
given a Jolt to the domestic ideas en-
tertained by Douglas B. McDavis' ana
he filed a cross petition for divorce
from the wife, Don L. McDavis, in the
district court today.
There was considerable interest IN
the petition around the court house
Everyone was looking it over There
was an interested crowd going through
it when some one discovered the nus
band charged the wife with calling the
iudpe of the court of Topeka a dear
sweet thing" A hurryup call was put
in for Judge Hugh Fisher to tell MN
of the affront to his official dignity.
Judge Fisher was found in the alley
behind the court house perspiring over
a blown-out tire. He was in a pad
humor and declined to she any IN
terest in anything any petition stated
The incident referred to by the nus
band occurred when Judge Fisher
once informed Mrs. McDavis in the
court room that unless she observed
court room decorum he would seno
her to Jail for contempt of court.
My" she said she flirted her
dress out the door; you're a dear
sweet thlng-
The affairs of Douglas and Don L..
McDavis have been in the courts since
last spring, when Mrs. McDavts had
her husband arrested and charged
with beating her and her sister ana
with jerking some ''baby doll curls
from the flaxen head of her sister. The
sister had the curls in court as ex-
hibits She also offered to show
where McDavis kicked her, but Judge
Robert Yates hastily agreed to take
her word for it.
While McDaviS was spending thirty
days in Jail, Mrs. McDavis filed suit
for a divorce, making specific charges
against her husband. The latter was
released from Jail not long ago and he
hunted up an attorney Today he
filed his cross-petition asking that he,
instead of Mrs. McDavis, be given the
divorce.
He charges in his petition that Mrs.
McDavis called him vile and obscene
names whenever he demonstrated with
her for being out with other men;
that she stayed out late at night and
went to shows with other men in spite
of his remonstrances.
Then, he charges, she began dress
ing to attract men and boys on the
street, wearing the most flashy
clothes He says she wore extremely
short skirts and painted and powdered
and used hair dyes. After all that,
he says, she pinned on false baby
doll eurls'' an dmade up like woman
of debased character

the embrace of his companion and
stood gazing in startled surprise in
the direction from which it came. At
that moment thick-set figure came
catapulting through the hedge and
bore down upon the Laughing Mask
like a human cannon ball. The exas-
perated police captain, realizing he
could no longer hope to take his enc
my by surprise, had staked everything
on this sudden rush. But the nimble-
footed fugitive was off like a sprinter
trying to beat a record, and by the
time he reached the road he had
gained a wide leap over his numbering
pursuer, who shortly gave up the
chase and slowly retraced his steps,
blowing like winded truck horse.
''This is the second time you've har-
bored that criminal" he barked at the
proudly erect young woman who stood
facing Margery Golden, IAN as an Of
ficer of the law l give you warning
it will be worse for you if you don't
tell us where he keeps himself under
cover"
81 shall tell you nothing" answered
the openly defiant girl, your bully
ing threats do not brighten me in the
least, and 1 shall see that your in
sulting conduct is reported to the
proper authorities"
With this parting shot the unruf-
fled girl deliberately turned her back
on the raging police captain and, with
quiet dignity, made her way toward
the white-pillared mansion. Nothing
remained for that utterly. routed arm
of the law but to withdraw from the
field of this disastrous verbal battle
with the best grace he could muster,
but already, in his somewhat limited
range of mental activity, he had de-
vised a new scheme for trapping the
elusive masquerader, whose immedi-
ate capture he was more grimly de-
termined upon than ever.
To his surprise Margery Golden
promptly and steadfastly rebelled at
the part which he had chosen for her
to play in the contamination of this
scheme, which savored to q certain
degree of INSCRIPTIONS trickery. 1t
was only by tanning the smoldering
jealousy of the sorely tried girl that
he was at last able to wiring from her
q reluctant consent to do his bidding.
1.-THE chances, are he won't leave
that good-lookin' doll for a minute,
even though he thinks you are in ter
rible danger" had been his argument,
which finally carried the day. Fear
ing that his hesitating confederate
might exercise her wofnan's preroga-
tive of suddenly changing her mind,
the willy strategist Immediately put
