WILL TRY TO
END TROUBLE
BY DIPLOMACY.
Informal Conferences With De
Facto Government to Start
Soon
CARRANZA SHOWS
MORE CONSIDERATION
Will Insist, However, on Early
Withdrawal of the u. s.
Troops. .....

Washington, July 7.-Inception of
the diplomatic conversations, which it
is hoped will result in settlement Of
the differences between the United
States and the de facto government
of Mexico, awaited tonight sugges-
tion from General Carranza as to how
they should proceed. State depart
ment officials believed more can be ac-
complished through informal confer
ences between Elisio Arerndondo
Mexican ambassodardesignate, and
Frank l.. Polk, acting secretary OF
state, than by formal exchange of
views.
They are willing to accede, how
ever, to some other plan should the
de facto government suggest it.
Sends Friendly Note.
Mr.. Arredondo transmitted a brief
and friendly note handed to him by
Secretary Lansing, expressing gratifi-
cation over the turn of affairs of the
two governments, and accepting pro
posals for diplomatic settlement of
points in dispute. The note was ap.
proved by the cabinet before it was
sent to the Mexican embassy. 49,.
Officials did not fail to note that
Secreary Lansing had laid stress up
on the desirability Of giving quick
and practical consideration to the i'm
mediate conditions along the border
which have been source of controv-
ersy. The language of the commune
cation plainly intimates that speedy
solution of that problem will be
sought, whatever time may be allow,
ed afterward TO- And a need of aiding
the' de facto government in restoring
normal economic conditions through
out Mexico.
Found Acceptable.
The definition of the border dispute
submitted by General Carranza in his
note, suggesting negotiations for a
settlement, apparently has been found
acceptable by the Washington gov
ernment.
This virtually narrows the immed-
late object of the negotiations to a
consideration Of the reasonable an
xiety of the United States for the Sc
curity of it's frontier on one hand and
the desire of the de facto government

Jealousy Aroused
But Cool Spot Was
Charm That Attracted

Found-A cool spot in Bismarck,
informing, noon or night Miss Char
lotte Valley, custodian.
The foregoing want-ad might we'll
be inserted in the newspapers and it's
nine to one bet that all that an
swered it and appeared at the attor-
ney generals office would find that
every word of it was entirely and alb
solutely unadulterated truth.
Many at the capitol discovered the
refrigerator parlors on the third floor
early this week and have taken time
from their daily cares to take jaunt
up there two or three times day to
get cooled off.
The rooms are located so high that
they always get breeze and still
the sun does not heat them like it
does those of the tax commission d.
rectly above on the top floor.
Consequently, Miss Valley, steno-
grapher to Attorney General Linde,
has had lots of visitors this week and
some of the other girls in the capitol
were rather upset until they found
that the refreshing breezes brought
forth the pilgrimage.

previously announced that none but
day coaches were available, but Gov.
Hanna is in receipt of q telegram from
President Pennington of the 500 line
stating that arrangements have been
completed for the transportation Of
everyone in regulation sleeping cars.
Three Special Trains.
Three special trains will carry the
khaki clad youths to Carranza's do
main. The three battalions will
travel separately, each being in
charge of its commanding major.
1t is estimated that eight coaches
will, be necessary for each battalion
and undoubtedly cook car and bag
gage compartment will be included in
each special The officers will travel
with the men.
According to officials Sc men can be
Accommodated in each coach very COM
fortably. 1t is probable that special
cars will be required for the transpor-
tation of supplies but this matter will
be attended to by heads of the rail
roads.
The work of tearing down cook
stoves, tents, ETC., will not require a
great deal of time and can easily be
attended to Monday morning, provid-
ing the equipment that is now on the
road reaches here in time to permit
the stat on that day.
Touching Scenes Anticipated.
Thousands of people will be on
hand to witness the departure of the
crack regiment from this state and it
is likely that the parting scenes will
be very touching. Mothers, sweet
hearts and relatives will be on hand
to bid a fond farewell to their loved
ones, who are going to dangers un-
known. Although it will be sad
hour for all concerned, it is anticipat-
ed that the boys will receive rous-

drowned trying to swim across the

Previous drownings due to the flood

reported around Ortonville, Mimi,
where the land is low and several

JAPAN AND RUSSIA
SIGN TRADE TREATY

Orient, officials are much interested
in a reference to the recognition Of
special interests in the Far East"
A more definite statement on that
provision is looked for, particularly
as the interests referred to are de-
scribed in the announcement as those
recognized by the other contracting
parties. This language, if embodied
in the treaty, might be adjudicated as
excluding the United States or any
other nation except Japan and Rus
sia from having any voice in determin-
ing what property might be regarded
as Japanese or Russian in Manchuria,
or Mongolia.
The Japanese embassy received q
cablegram saying that the convention
had been signed at Petrograd.

Washington, July 7.-Officials of

forming any judgment as to whether
it will affect the open door policy or

New Rockford, has taken steps to
expedite the determination of wheth-

clauses of the state constitution are
self-executing. Chief Justice Fisk, up
on petition of Otto Bauer of Mandan,
represented by Attorney John F. Sui

Thomas Hall, secretary of state, to
show cause why he should not be
restrained from placing the capital
removal amendment upon the ballot
to be voted upon at the polls next
November.
Returnable July 13.
This writ is returnable July 13, at
which time the question may be
argued. ...,.-
Papers will be served today upon
the Bismarck attorneys interested in
the case brought in the name of A.
C. Hinckley, some time ago, raising
the point This case was brought in
the Burleigh county district court in
order to insure jurisdiction here. n
is likely that the Bismarck attorneys
will intervene in the Bauer case and
urge upon the court an early settle.
ment of the point A conference will
be held today to determine the next
step. The suit brought in the Bur
leigh county district court could not
be reached until the September term,
Lawrence &, Murphy of Fargo, who
appeared for New Rockford in the
Hinckley suit, will appear for the Ed

and F. Il. McCurdy. ', ,
Mr.. Eauer, in whose name this suit
is brought is a Mandan MERCHANT.
Attorney Sullivan stated last evening
that he was with Bismarck in it's fight
to retain the capital and, although
New Rockford probably was behiaS
the action, he would give all possibly
assistance in presenting Bismarck's
side of the case. He has prepared
pleadings on the issue.
Petitions Not Sufficient.
It is maintained by the Bismarck's S
attorneys that the petitions are not
sufficient and that also the amend
ment under which New Rockford pro.
ceeded is not sclf-executing, and that
no method of procedure is outlined by
statute.
New Rockford's attorneys have TAX

squarely before the court. The lis

and everything will be done to h;sN N'en

at stake.

that the only thing he positively
knew of his own knowledge was
what his own analysis showed, name
ly, a substance containing 49 percent
of cynaide of potassium. On this
point they stuck. Mr.. Cotter varied
the questions in every conceivable
way. Five o'clock, the ordinary clos,
ing hour, came. A circus band pass
ing gave invitation to an evenings
entertainment and a juror who, ap-
.parently, had been asleep, gave signs
of life.
Attorneys Wilkerson and Packard
insisted on adjournment, but Judge
Donnelly ordered that the witness be
finished with. Another hour passed
on the same task, and another one
was well under way before the court
called it day and adjourned.

Violence Of Attack.
The violence of the British often
sive failed, however, to divert the At
tention of the Germans from their des-
perate efforts to capture Verdun. As
sault after assault was delivered
against the French lines in the batter
ed German positions. Surprising even
the Allies great offensive on the west
ern front, the news from the eastern
fronts show the Russians have ex-
tended their lines on an unprecedent-
ed scale. For distance of three hun
dred miles, the Russians are being
hurled against the German lines Fur
ther to the south General Karleindes
is driving steadily forward toward
Kovel, and has captured two villages
and railway station on the Sarny-
Kovel roads. Military critics Of the
Allies assert that unless the Germans
can hold the Russian advance in the
immediate future, they will have 10
withdraw their lines along the entire,
eastern front, and probably abandon
Lemberg.
The German official report Of Fri
day admits the abandoning Of sal
lent to General Karleindes, but both
Russian and German ofhcial state
ments fail to give clear idea Of the
exact situation in the east.
The Italians continued progress, for
their offensive in the Trentino dis
trict, but there apparently has. been
no great change in this field Of war.
