His Unlucky DAYS,

Seated in a row on the porch of an
old-country Inn, with their chairs
tipped back, some old cronies were go
Ing on about unlucky days. After all
had given what they considered their
unlucky days, quiet old chap at one
end spoke up:
"Aan tell We ma unlucky days. Aas

to be struck WI leetening on a Mon

or lose ten-pun note on Friday; or

This does not mean necessarily that
fresh asphalt has come into the lake
from underground sources. On the
contrary, the excavations are filed by
very slow settling or leveling of the
surface asphalt. There is no such thing
as new" asphalt, by the way, for the

is believed that fresh asphalt very
slowly pushes itself upward into the
lake from the subterranean depths,
but how large quantity is thus added
annually has not been calculated.
Lakes, Depth Not Known.
Near the middle of the lake the ma.
terial Is less hard than elsewhere, and
In a few places soft asphalt may be
seen oozing up from below. This fresh
asphalt is of about the consistency of
putty, and can be kneaded and pulled
In the hands without soiling them
greatly. In the main, however, the
lake Is solid asphalt.
No one knows the depth of this mys-
FERROUS lake, the only information on
the subject being the fact that long
ago a boring was made to a depth of
135 feet without reaching the bottom.
The cores" OF this and other borings
show that in consistency the asphalt
remains the same to a very consider.

there are many evidences that the en-

in the creases between these the rain.

MEXICAN CHARGE;
Turns TO WORK
Instead of Making Com
ment, Fighting Fred"
Martials Growing Army.

San Antonio, Tex, July General
Funston read without comment today
the charges of bad faith and then con-
centrated his attention on the silent
martialing of his growing army along
the border line. Early reports from
General Pershing in Mexico and from
headquarters commanders along the
Rio Grande and the western lines re-
Elected the preparations being made
by the Mexican war department for
break with the American army, but
no specific cases of friction were re-
corded.
In Touch With Every Unit.
Headquarters here has been in
touch with every unit of the national
guard from the time it left it's mobi-
lization camp until it reached it's des-
tination. 1t has been possible TO
divert any organization from its origi-
nal destination at any time and send
it where its presence might be most
necessary.
A representative Of the American
Railways association notified head
quarters of the departure of each
train, the number of men and animals
it carried, the supplies taken along,
and all necessary information. At
each main point along its route
another representative of the associa-
ton reported it's arrival and departure
and probable time Of arrival at des-
tination. AS consequence of this
information the quartermaster de-
partment has been able to make every
necessary preparation without hurry
and without delay.

DID GERMANY MAKE
HER PROMISE GOOD?

Washington, July 1.-The state de-
partment is preparing to make formal
inquiry of the German government as
to what punishment was inflicted upon
the submarine commander who tor
pedoed the channel steamer Sussex. i.
An informal inquiry to Ambassador
Gerard has brought no response. In
admitting that the Sussex was at
tackled by mistake, Germany an
nounced that the submarine COM
mander had been appropriately pun
ished," and promised reparation. Then
followed the exchange of notes, which
resulted in the abandonment of SUBJ
marine warfare on passenger ships.
No step toward finally disposing of
the case was taken, pending a dem
onstration that the promise of the
change in practice would be carried
out.
The American government since has
found no reason to complaint of SUBJ
marine activities. There remains to
be finally adjusted, however, the rep
aration claims growing out of such
cases, including that of the Lusitania.

Growing Impatience Over

plying to u. S. Demand.
MEXICANS MAeSING
FORCES IN NORTH
CcgnresS Making Provision for Funds
70 Finance Expense of Military OPP
erGtionS, Adding Millions to the
Army Bill.

Washington, July With the ad-
journment Of the house tonight over
the Fourth Of July, it seemed strong
ly improbable that the crisis in the
affairs of the United States and the
de tacto Mexican government would
come to q final issue before Wednes-
day at the earliest.
Despite growing impotence over
General Carranza's delay in comply
ing with the demand Of this govern
ment that the de facto government
declare its intention toward American
troops in Mexico, President Wilson
made no move today toward laying
the situation before congress. Off
cials believe he will wait some days,
at least. for reply to the note sent
a week ago tomorrow, providing there
are NJ further attacks upon General
Pershing's men.
Before the de facto government had
complied with the first demand in the
note by releasing the prisoners taken
at CarriZal, it was expected the presi-
dent would act within a time limit
fixed in his own mind if there was no
fenly from Carranza or an unfavor-
able one. The effect of the release
of the prisoners, however, has been
to lengthen this limit, though how
much only the president himself
knows.
There was no official information
today dealing with the probable tenor
of Carranza's reply. Private mes
sages had nothing to add to the
gloomy outlook they reflected vester-
day. In fact, there were no develop
ments of any kind during the day in
the diplomatic situation, although the
war department and congress still
ground away on measures of prepara-
ton against whatever the future may
hold.
Mexicans Menace Pershing.
Under war department censorship,
no information General Funston or the
general staff may have as to move
