Note toCarranZa

Washington, D. c., July 8.-A note
proposal that differences between the
United States and the de facto govern
ment of Mexico be settled by direct
negotiations, has just been handed to
Eliseo Arredondo, the Mexican ambas-
sador designate.
The note, which was in reply to that
received July 4, from Foreign Secre-
tary Aguilar, follows:
Sir have the honor to acknowl-
edge the receipt of your communica-
ton of July 4, 1916, in which you
transcribe a note addressed to me by
the secretary of foreign relations of
your government and to request that
you will transmit to him the following
reply:
Equally Desires Solution.
'Mr. Secretary have the honor to
acknowledge the receipt of your cour-
teous note trans mitted to me by Senior
Arredondo on the 4th inst, in which
you refer to my notes of June 20 and
June 25 and to assure you of the sim
cere qualification of my government at
the frank statement of the difficulties
which have unfortunately arisen in our
relations along the international boun-
Diary and the unreserved expression of
the desire of your government to reach
an adjustment of these difficulties on
broad and amicable basis. The same
spirit of friendship and of solicitude
for the continuance of cordial relations
between our two countries inspires my
government which equally desires an
immediate solution of the matters of
difference which have long vexed both
governments.
Ready to Negotiate.
ut is especially pleasing to my gov
eminent that the de facto government
of Mexico is disposed to give quick as
well as practical consideration in a
spirit of concord to the remedies which
may be applied to the existing condi-
lions. Reciprocating the same desire
the government of the United States
is prepared Immediately to exchange
views as to a practical plan to remove
finally and prevent recurrence of the
difficulties which have been the source
of the controversy.
Accept, Mr.. Secretary, the renewed
assurances of my highest considera-
ton.
II am, sir,
yours very sincerely,

A SCRAP or PAPER

The clever comedy drama, "A

Federated church Saturday eve
ing drew large attendance who
were we'll rewarded for their in
terest seeing an excellently we'll
rendered performance. The per-
formers were in training for many
weeks under the direction of Miss

excellent testimonial to her abil-
tiles as stage directress. Aside
from one or two minor slips in the
dialogue the elGeationary work
was without flaw and the char
acters were sustained in splendid
manner by all. Mr.. Frank Lilly
as the hero, Prosper Couramont,
sustained a very difficult role with
distinction and displayed consid-
cradle talent. The leading fem
inine role, M'dlle. Suzanne De
Russeville was played by Mrs.
Chas. Thompson with grace Of
bearing an excellent dramatic
effect.
The other characters were all
excellently we'll done. Miss Bak-
ke as the maid who knew her

with just the proper touch of CO.
quetry, Mrs. Sharpe was an effec-
tive Louise De La Glaciere and
Mrs. Shields as the fussy house
keeper sustained her role very eff
fectively. Miss Helen Lome7
made charming Mathilde and
Mrs. Joe Bursik was capital as the
prim M'dllle Zenobie. Clarence
Littleheld as the quaint old nat
uralist, Brismouche, expressed
the character with exceeding
cleverness while Dan Crowley as
the bashful and deeply intar r-ateti
Anatole showed clearly that he

how it felt. c. TAFT Kerr rep
