Dr. Gaston cut into the negro and controlling the blood, he depressed one of the lungs, throwing the entire work on the other. He took two stitches in the heart cover and one in the heart wall, and removed three ribs.
 "It is one of the rarest things in the world for a patient to recover from an operation of this kind,' said Dr. Cas- ton, but I consider the negro has a fighting chance for life, due to the fact that his respiration was very strong when he left the table"
 The shooting was investigated by Cap tain Hawkins; Detectives Moser, Brown, Macke and Officers Burk and Ellis.

hundred korona for $14 Only Thursday morning there arrived at Baltimore a German submarine and it leaves for Europe in few days. The Transatlantic Trust company announces with pride that from now on it will send money orders by this way and will manage to get receipts by the same way"
 At the general offices of the Trans atlantic Trust company it was said the advertisement had been prepared under the direction of President Julius Pirnit- ger. He was not at the office and in his absence none of the officials would discuss the submarine
 Secrecy, it was said, was considered necessary to prevent a possible conflict with the American government on the status of the boat-a question of neu- trality only, it was explained. Accord ing to this version, the German em- bassy feared that the submarine might be regarded as warship by the United States authorities and as such ordered out of American waters within "A hours.

ment among members of the Mexican cabinet, the advices said, that orders to General Trevino to attack American troops moving in any direction except toward the border be reaffirmed
 Some de facto officials wished to go further, it was indicated. and demand that American troops be immediately withdrawn from Mexican soil
 The private messages were sent by persons in position to speak with authority as to General Carranza's at titude and they appeared to be borne out by the unconciliatory character of a memorandum published in Mexico City specifically denying all the allegations of the previous American note in an- swer to Carranzas demands for with drawal of the troops. Intimations have reached officials here, however, that the de facto government may give strong assurances in it's note that border raids will be prevented by a strong patrol of Mexican troops if the United States will withdraw it's forces, It was said at the Mexican mbassy tonight that 50,000 Carranza troops are available for border patrol duty.
 l ne Slate department Has ndu IlO ulTeCt information as to when the Mexican re- sponse would be sent or how 1t would be transmitted. Secretary Lansing called this fact to the attention of Eliseo Are dondo, Mexican ambassador designate, during the day and indicated that he did not understand the delay in view of the statement in the American note of last Sunday that an early answer was ex- pected. MT. Arredondo, who had called to announce formally the release of the CarriZal prisoners, said he had not heard from his government on the subject.
 Although Special Agent Rodgers at Mex ico City was informed two days ago that he might expect to be handed the Mexican note that day, he has made no mention Of it in later dispatches. Some officials believed it possible the communication would come through M. Arredondo and that it's actual delivery. would be condi- toned on the situation at the time he received it. Efforts at arranging me- dia tion. favored by Carranza officials. led to the belief that the reply would be withheld at the fast moment if there seemed any chance that the Washington government would listen to such pro- posals

came to rent the houses everybody
wanted those on the paved street. A
difference of $3.50 per month was made
in the rentals and stin everybody pre-
ferred those on the paved street. Thus
the tenants are voluntarily assuming
an increased rental of $50 per year for
the convenience and pleasure Of living
on paved street more than the same
kind of house could be rented for
in the same block but on an unpaved
street. The tenants are paying the
paving assessments. In seven years the

thereafter the landlord will receive a
profit in increased rental.
