New York.-A strong body of revo.

lix Diaz is attacking Puebla, Mex,
according to an announcement made
by Gen. Diaz's principal agent in the
United States. He said an engage
ment had been fought with the Car
rama forces on Loretto hill, on the
outskirts of the city of Puebla, and
in the Sierra Madre foothills. The
Diaz forces, he said, were victorious
in this battle, and many Carranza
troops were killed.
Gen. Diaz, he said, now is begin
ming an aggressive campaign and
proposes to take Puebla and then
push on toward Mexico City. The
Diaz movement, he asserted, is gain
ing wide support in southern Mexico,
and there has been a rising in the
state of Tabasco, headed by Juan
Hernandez, to aid the Diaz cause.
"All the Isthmus of Tehuantepec is
under the control of Gen. Diaz, and
reports he has received and forward
ed to me in New York City indicate
his movement is now stronger than it
ever was"

INSISTING ON WITHDRAWAL
Note Lays Stress on Fact That Evac.
uation Question Must Be
First Settled.

Washington, D. C.-Gen. Carranza
still insists that the first thing to
be decided by the United States and
Mexico is the withdrawal of the Amer
jean troops.
Mexican Ambassador Arredondo
delivered to acting Secretary Of State
Polk a note which, while naming a
commission and tacitly accepting the
last American proposal for a joint
commission to investigate Mexican
American relations, laid stress on
the fact that the Mexican commits
sioners are to devote their attention
preferably to the resolution of the
points mentioned in the previous
note of this department"
The points referred to are the ques-
ton of withdrawal of American troops
from Mexican soil, border patrol
and fixing of responsibility for border
raids.
Washington officials agree that Car.
rama in this manner is indicating his
intention to urge these questions
ahead Of all others.

DANISH TREATY IS SIGNED
U. S. ACQUIRES THREE WEST
INDIA ISLANDS.
Negotiations Pending Since Close of
Civil War-Command Entrance
to Panama Canal.

Washington, D. C.-The treaty
between Denmark and the United
States for the purchase of the Dan
ish West Indies for $685. 900, 900 was
signed in New York yesterday by
Secretary of State Lansing and Min
lister Brun.
The signing of the treaty ends ne
gotiations which began at the end of
the Civil war for the purchase of the
islands, The islands are about 1900
miles from the Panama canal, and
are regarded as a natural barrier to
the canal.
The American navy will have one
of the finest bases in the world at
the harbor of St. Thomas.
Early ratification of the treaty is
expected. The sentiment of the Unit
ed States senate favors such action,
and unofficial reports from Copen-
hagen say that the Conservative party
which rejected the sale in 1902 is not
now opposed to the sale.
Under the treaty the United States
obtains the islands of St. Croix, st.
John and st. Thomas, east of Porto
Rico. 1t surrenders it's discovery
right in the north of Greenland. The
treaty must be ratified by the Dan
ish and American governments and by
the people of the islands.
The house of representatives as
well as the senate will have to rati
fly the treaty for this country, because
of the money involved.

RESERVE.
CREDIT FOR PREVIOUS TERMS
New Law Has Made No Change in
Terms Of Men Who Have Not
Subscribed to New Oath Pre-
scented by Government
Jefferson City.


Under the terms of the new ma
tional defense act of June 8, 1915,
as interpreted by the war department,
enlisted men in the national guards
who subscribed to the new dual oath
and enlisted contracts subsequent to
the passage of that act become bound
for six years service in the national
guard.
The first three years of this serv-
fee must be in an active organiza-
ton of the national guard. The re-
naming three years are to be served
in the national guard reserve. Credit
is to be given for the period already
served under the old enlistment on
tract with the privilege of continuing
in active service during the whole of
the enlistment or re-enlistment.
The law officers of the war depart
ment have ruled that the ma
tional defense act confers no authori-
ty to hold the enlisted man of the
national guard in the active service,
without his consent, for a longer per-
iod than three years, unless the call of
the national guard into federal serv-
ice in time of wal or national emer-
gency shall be regarded as embrac-
ing the national guard service.
1t cannot be so regarded in the
present national guard mobilization
as no mention of the reserve was
made in the recent call of the presi-
dent of the national guard and mill
tia who have not subscribed to the
new dual oath of enlistment are to
be discharged upon the expiration of
their enlistment period.

The Picture That Failed.

A local movie show advertised that
it would display pictures of the Mis-
souri, troops taken at the Nevada
camp. Every available foot of space
in the theater was occupied long be-
fore opening time. One of the first
bulletins announced that the next pic
ture would be Gen. Clark" The
General is a small man with refined
features, smooth face and black hair
and eyes. The soldiers prepared to
applaud and the operator cranked the
machine.
The picture that flashed on the
screen, though, was that of a grizzled
veteran with iron gray hair, steel gray
eyes, face livid from years of cam
paigning and a wiry gray mustache
that measured six inches or more
from tip to tip.
For an instant here vas a painful
pause, but as the mistake became evi-
dent to the audience there ensued an
uproar Of mirth and jeers.
The story has been told of how the
"houn' dawg" mascot of the Second
Regiment was tin-canned out of camp
by a cook in the First Regiment after
the dog had been found prowling
around a commissary tent.

WESTERN CANADA
Cooperative Creameries Show
Tremendous Increase in
Butter Production.

The Dairy Commissioner. at first an
nual convention Of Saskatchewan
Dairymen's association, reviewed pro-
gress of 1915 which shows a great in
crease In the butter production of the
cooperative creameries amounting to
100000 lbs. He also said the i'm
provement In quality is shown by the
preference accorded Saskatchewan
butter in outside markets. Shipments
out of the province for the year to-
tailed 80 carloads.
According to bulletin just issued by
the Manitoba department of agricul-
ture. the dairy industry had a very
successful year in 1915. There was an
increase Of over 100000 lbs. of cream
cry butter produced, as against the
previous year, about 100000 lbs, in
crease in dairy butter and over 25,000
lbs. increase in the cheese output. The
increase of the total value of milk and
milk products was over $4,000. The
production of dairy butter for Mani
toba during the year was 4,150,444 lbs.
and it brought an average price of 23c
per h.; of creamery butter 5,839,667
lbs. were produced which commanded
29c per lb. on the average; cheese pro-
duction was 726, 725 lbs. which sold at
an average price of 15c-the total
value Of these three products is given
as $2,760,69S, In addition to which the
milk produced is valued at $925,659
and the cream at $158,827, the average
price of the milk being reckoned at
2.1c per lib. and of sweet cream at 32c
per lb. butter-fat. In connection with
the dairy industry 1t is interesting to
note that almost the most important
fodder crop now is corn, of which the
1915 production amounted to 190,132
tons. The biggest cultivated fodder
crop is timothy which for last season
produced 193,357 tons and the next
most popular crop was bronze grass
with 45,815 tons; of alfalfa and clover
there were produced some $4,000 tons.
The number of cattle in the province
is given as 631, 005, which is an in
crease of 10000 over the previous
year.
The fact that the Red Deer, Alberta,
cheese factory is handling four times
as much milk this season as last win
ter shows the growing improvement in
the dairy industry. On Feb. IA, it was
announced the factory had just
shipped two tons of cheese for Calgary
market.
Cardston, Alberta, creamery in 1915
paid its patrons a rate of 27hc per
lb. for butter fat and had a profit re-
naming over all expenses of $5,5S4,
The creamery during season distrib-
uted among farmers $61,117 and manu-
featured 256,O00 lbs. butter and 1900
lbs. cheese. Average price realized for
butter was 28A cents.
The development of the dairy indus
try of Northern Alberta is we'll indi-
Gated by the growth of a prominent
dairy business here, which in 1915 pro-
duced 2,525, 900 lbs. butter, an increase
of 100000 lbs. over the previous year.
This product has found a market in all
parts of Canada and this year will en-
ter the export trade. Advertisement.

FIGHT WITH ICE.
Shift of Wind Only Thing That Saved
Boat in Sight of
Shoals.

London, England.-One of the three
members of the Shackleton Antarctic
expedition has just arrived here. He
is Carpenter McNish, and he says:
Perhaps the worst facts we had
to reckon with among the men left
on Elephant island is that they may
think the small boat in which we
reached South Georgia had foundered
with all hands and consequently the
world is still ignorant of their fate.
at was, I suppose, one chance in
a hundred that the boat would ever
get through and time after time il
was a miracle that we escaped drown
ing. 1t was only by an act of prov.
idence that we were able to make
Elephant island at all and the beach
on which we landed, inhospital as il
was, was suitably named Providence
beach.
THE chief had decided before we
reached Elephant island that a push

soon as we got there | was set to
work to fit our largest boat for her
adventurous voyage.

hove to in a gale, we lost our sea
anchor, the rope being cut by ice
This seemed to be almost the last
straw, but Sir Ernest ShackletoI
rose, as usual, to the occasion.
"We are going to get there alright
he said when things looked perfect
ly hopeless. And, sure enough, We
did. But we were very nearly fin
ished just before We made the land
ing.
1--WE first sighted the west coast Of
South Georgia. 1t was during a great
snowstorm, and as we knew nothing
about the tide or the island we had
to hold off until daylight the next
day. The wind was blowing a hur
ricane. After a time we found that
we were drifting onto a cliff. We
had to bail continuously, and but fol-
the wind shifting at a critical moment
we could never have put ashore"

Next legislature Dry.

tNSNh -SSl0idthi ~
Although both candidates for gov
enor Endorsed by the Missouri Anti
Saloon League in the Republican and
Democratic primaries were defeated
at the polls, the drys of Missouri will
have an assured majority in the next
legislature, no matter which party
carries the state next November,
AS a result of the primaries, the
drys claim they have increased their
majority in the house of representa-
tives. Last session they had 80 mem
bers who voted dry on everything.
The coming session, no matter which
party wins, the drys figure on at
least 100 members, possibly one or
two more.
The senate, which is the battle
ground of the vets and drys, and has
always been the brewery bulwark,
against the Overwhelming dry senti-
ment of the house, apparently will
be really dry for the first time.
The claim is now made that 10 of
the "a members of the senate will be
dry, no matter which party carries
the state.
The program of the league for
pushing through a statewide prohi-
bition bill with a peace, health and
safety clause attached, to prevent a
referendum vote on it, probably has
been blocked by the defeat of the
Anti-Saloon League candidates for
governor. There is a possibility,
however, of a statewide prohibition
law going through, to be voted upon
at a special election. County unit
measures for the country and pre-
cinct option and early closing bills
for cities also are in sight.
