NAVAL COMMITTEE SENDS IN ITS
REPORT OF THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVE
ASK FIVE BATTLE CRUISERS
New Type of Fighting Ship Is Needed
To Balance FIect-Minority Re-
port Says Programme Is
Inadequate.

Washington.-An elaborate report
explaining the $241 600, 900 naval ap-
preparation bill has been submitted TO
the house by the naval committee, and
at the same time the Republican mem
bers of the committee joined in mi
ing the measure as inadequate and de-
manding that congress provide for
navy ranking second among the
worlds fighting forces.
The bill authorizes a building pro-
gramme for next year. including five
great battle cruisers.
Referring to it's failure to. recon-
mend additional dreadnoughts in the
1917 programme reported, the commit
tee says it does not wish to be under
stood as holding that battleships have
been displaced as the main naval de-
pendence. On the contrary, the re-
port says, all naval experts told the
committee dreadnoughts formed the
real fighting line of any fleet.
'Our fleet of dreadnoughts and pre-
dradnoughts." it explains, "has reach
ed such proportions that the construc'
ton of battle cruisers must now be au-
thorized and begun at once in order
that our fleet be properly balanced for
fighting efficiency
The total cost of the new ships rec
commended is placed at S160, 1857, OF
which s59,244,S26 is appropriated in
1917, together with $3S,36S, ,1Z7 for con-
t!nuing present building.
The committee estimates that under
the bill the shortage in the commits
stoned personnel of the navy will be
met in a few years and that the 16,579
additional men provided for are all
that will be needed during the next
fiscal year.
A commission of five naval officers
is created to investigate the navy yard
situation and report to the next session
Of congress as to the necessity for adj
ditional yards on the Pacific coast, the
Atlantic coast south of Hatteras or on
the gulf, and advisabllity as to abolish
ing any existing yards.

RUSSIANS JOIN BRITISH
Cars Cavalry Pushes Forward 10
Mesopotamia to Tigris River-Lon-
don Is Astonished.

London-A force of Russian cavalry
has joined the British army on the Tt
girls, in Mesopotamia.
An official communication issued
concerning the situation along the III
girls follows:
Gen. Lake reports that on the 18th
the enemy vacated the Bethalessa ad-
vanced position ON the right bank of
the Tigris. Gen. Gorringe, following
up the enemy, attacked and carried
the DujalIam redoubt. The enemy is
still holding the Sannayat position on
the left bank of the river. A force OF
Russian cavalry has Joined Gen. Cor
ringe after bold and adventurous
ride"
The first news OF the operations on
the Tigris since the fall of kut-El-
Amara, although 1t showed that the
Turks are still holding the Sannayat
position on the left bank of the Tigris,
where British check made it impos-
sible to carry out the relief of Gen.
Townsheld. brings the most well
come but astonishing intelligence that
body of Russian cavalry, after an
adventurous ride, has succeeded in
joining Gen. Gorringe's forces on the
south bank of the Tigris.
How this important junction was ef-
fected is still unknown and the story
will be awaited with intense interest
The supposition is that this detach-
ment came from the Russian army
which is threatening Khanikan, but 1t
still remains puzzle where and how
the Russians succeeded in crossing the
river
Their sudden appearance with Gen.
Gorringe also has raised the question
whether the Russians have already cut
the Bagdad railroad at Mosui. In any
case the unexpected appearance of this
body of cavalry is as great a surprise
as was the first landing of the Rus
sian troops at Marseilles and is an
other instance of the swift anG stealthy
movement of the Russian forces In
Asia Minor.

CARRANzA SENDS U. S. NOTE
Demand Is Made from Mexico City
That Troops Be Withdrawn--Mes-
sage Threatens War.

Mexico ity-A note from the de fac
to government of Mexico to the gov
ernment of the United States demand
ing the immediate withdrawal OF the
American troops from Mexico has
been dispatched to Washington.
The note states that the Mexican
people do not want war with the Unit
ed States. but that they are ready for
war rather than to have their national
honor and sovereignty trampled upon
The Mexicn government is inform
ed the note states. that more Amer
ican troops continue tc cross the bor
der. The communication declares that
the Mexican people look upon this
movement as more than mere punt
tive expedition and violation of ma
tional sovereignty
The note Was sent to Washington

LEAKEsyLLE
PROTESTS SEIZURE OF MAIL
President Wilson Sends Vigorous Note
to Great Britain on Subject-pe-
cIares Malls inviolate.

Washington. President Wilson has
completed note vigorously renewing
the protest of the United States to
Great Britain against interference with
American mails. This communication
Is expected to go forward at once.
Secretary Lansing and legal experts
at the state department made the orig
inal draft of the note, and the presi-
dent revised its phraseology. 1t is
made up largely OF legal arguments to
meet the contentious of Great Britain
in memorandum, concurred in by
France, presented to the state depart
ment several weeks ago. The United
States takes the position that practices
complained of in its first note on the
subject have been continued and that
the American government must now
insist more emphatically that they
cease.
The state department officials con-
slider that the chief weakness OF Great
Britains position is her policy of TAX
ing neutral mail vessels into British
jurisdiction and submitting them TO
local censorship regulations. 1t is un-
derstood that 1t is on this point that
the renewed protest is chiefly based.
The British memorandum avoided
this phase of the question. Rapid
transmission was promised to true
correspondence" but the right to seize
contraband sent In the mails was main
tanned.
The Hague convention of 1907, the
United States contends, guarantees the
inviolability of postal correspondence,
and the new note again points to the
Inconvenience and actual money loss
resulting from the cintinuance of the
British policy of taking neutral mail
vessels into British ports and there ex-
amining and OBTAINING the mails. A
mass of evidence has been collected
showing the effects on American busi-
ness of the British policy.

Nd UPLIFT OUR PEOPLE AND LIVE rHEREI
RETURN FROM BANDIT HUNT
Forces of sibiey and Langhorne Were
in Mexico Just Ten Days-Cap-
tured Americans Rescued.

Marathon, Texas.-The flying col.
umns of the Eighth and Fourteenth
cavalry, under the command of Col.
Sibley and Maj. Lnghorne, respective
ly, detailed by Maj.-Gen. Frederick
Funston to give chase to the bandit
raiders of Glenn Springs and Boquiilas,
have returned to American soil near
Boquillas.
The expedition was in Mexico just 10
days. 1t failed to capture or wipe out
the main body of the Big Bend maraud-
ers, but it made prisoners OF four OF
the bandits and left behind two others
desperately wounded In addition, IT
rescued Jesse Deemer, Boquillas store
keeper, and Monroe Payne, negro,
kidnapped by the Mexicans as they took
their last desperate fling before fleeing
south.
The return of the expedition was i'm.
perative for strategical reasons. 1t had
penetrated so far into the interior,
without the semblance of line of
communication, that it was not pre-
pared for possible eventualities. With
no hope of e-enforcements it was inn
possible for it to continue its foray.
Then, too, the main object of its cam
paign had been accomplished, in the
release of Deemer and Payne.
News of the return of Col. Sibley
and Maj. Langhorne reached Marathon
almost day after it had been safely
accomplished.
After the release of Deemer and
Payne some 80 miles from Boquillas
Maj. Langhorne pushed on in pursuit
of the fleeing bandits. Part of his COM
mand, under Lieut.. Stuart w. Cramer,
engaged a small band of the raiders,
capturing six, of whom two were
wounded. It soon grew apparent, how
ever, that there was no hope OF way
laying the majority Of the raiders, as
they had split up and fled. 1t was
then decided to turn back.
In the meantime, Col. Sibley, well
in the rear, is supposed to have receiv-
ed reports that q force OF Yaqri In
dians was getting dangerously close to
the advanced detachment Whether or
not there was good ground for believ-
ing these reports, 1t is not known here.
At any rate, Col. Sibley marched for
ward, and it appears from the informa-
tion brought to Marathon, joined Maj.
Langhorne at E. Pine.
From there 1t is reported they pro-
ceeded in company to the border, max
ing the 100 miles intervening between
Ell Pine and Boquillas in three days
Col. Sibley and Maj. Langhorne now
are reported resting their commands
in camp at Boquillas while awaiting
further orders.
The expedition travelled 10 days in
an unknown country, over bad roads
under hot sun and with water scarce
| 1t returned intact.

AUsTRIANs PURSUE ENEMY
Mighty Drive Forces Italians Back
Across Their Border Line--Much
Booty Was Captured.

London.-The Austrians continue
successfully to prosecpte their orrens.
i've against the Italians in the South
ern Tyrol. They have advanced on
both sides of the Sugana Valley, ac-
cording to the Vienna statement. The
Austrian gains and the fact that the
Italians have again retired before the
onrush of the attacking columns is ad-
mitted by Rome.
On the Isonzo front Rome reports
Bulgarian prisoners have been taken
with Austrians. indicating that Bull
garia has joined hands with Austria
in the present gigantic offensive.
vienna's official account Of the Aus
trian advances states that the emper-
or's troops. driving along the Sugana
Valley, attacked the city of Borgo.
about five miles from the Italian bor-
der, and forced the Italians to evacu-
ate. Large quantities of booty fell
into the Austrian hands, indicating
hasty withdrawal
Following this success the Graz
Corps pushed on across the border
and harassed the rear of the retreating
Italian columns.
The Italian report states that the
defending army the the Sugana Valley
fell back gradually on their main
lines after repulsing Austrian attacks
throughout the day"
Vienna makes further CAIN to the
capture of the Italian Qualifications or
Monte Velna.

MILITIA uNWiELDY.
en-. Funston criticises National Grard
Red Tape.

San Antonio, Texas.-Gen. Funston
is a defender of the Texas national
guard, but critic of the system, which
he blames for the ridiculous length OF
time required to get the militiamen
made over into working units OF the
federal border patrol.
1.-THE Texans are all right" said
Gen. Funston. "They are not to blame
for the delay; the system is at fault,
and that will be changed by the new
army bill Considering the number of
men brought froEo all walks OF life,
more than $500, the number of re-
fusals to enter the federal service, 116,
is not surprising. The Texans have
made a fine record"
The movement of the Texas infantry
to the border began May 25. Gen. Fun
ston has ordered one troop to Fort
Brownsville. AS soon as the cars can
return from Brownsville, which will
be two days, the Fourth Texas infantry
will follow to Brownsville. These two
regiments will be part of Brig-Gen.
James Parlrer's brigade.
With the departure of the Texas IN
fantry to the border the lis men who
declined to become federal soldiers
will be sent home in more or less dis
grace. They are still In camp, entire
ly under the control of their former
militia officers, and Gen. Hulen has
seen to 1t that they have been kept
busy digging trenches and cleaning
camp.

To U. S. Soldiers Is Made
Plain.

Ell Paso, Texas.-It is authoritative
iy reported here that Mai. Gen. Fun
ston has again requested the war de-
partment to call out the national guard
of Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma.
The latest call for re-enforcements is
ington to withdraw additional men
from the coast artillery for border
patrol
The menace to the Pershing expedi-
tion in Mexico of the big movement of
Carranzista troops in Chihuahua has
been made plain to United States mill
tary authorities.
General Jacinto Trevino, instead of
sending his soldiers into the bandit-in-
Tested districts of Eastern Chih dahua
and Northern Coahuila, has ordered
them massed along the Mexican Gen.
trail and Northwest railroads.
Gen. Gavira, the commander at
Juarez, who has never lost an oppor-
tnnity to make himself offensive to
Americans, has been given command
Of the districts around Galena and
Bravos.
Orders already issued contemplate
large garrisons at Galena and other
points within striking distance of Gen.
Pxxhing's line of communications
from the east From the west the
menace of the Sonora troops remains.
1t is pointed out by army strategists
that the only possible purpose of such
a, redistribution of the Carranza forces
would be to squeeze" Gen. Pershing' s
command Gen. Luis Herrera of the
Paral district, who needs no new in
PRODUCTION as a Gringo hater has ask
ed for his entire brigade He does not
state the purpose for which he desires
to concentrate a large force immedi-
ately south of Gen. Pershing, but when
the movement is completed the punt
tive expedition will be flanked Oh
three sides.
The announcement is made that aft
er the Carranza troops reach the stra-
tegic positions designated they will
hunt bandits. This could be taken Sc
riously were it not for the fact that the
districts specified include the country
which has been swept clean by the
American forces.

ICY ENDORSED.
ST.LOUIs DELEGATES CHOSEN
State at Large viii Be Represented by
Eign. With Half a Vote Each-A
Compromise Gives All Fac
tions Place.


All factions of the Mississippi Dem
ocracy were appeased and received
their portion of pie in the very har-
monious state convention which was
adjourned here May IS. 1t was so har-
mcnious that it was almost uninterest-
ing. There might have been differ
ences and disputes, but they certainly
were arbitrated outside Of the conven'
tion hall.
Inside the big tent the action was
slow but affairs were disposed of with
runctilious precision.
Before the convention assembled In
the hall of representatives it appear
ed that there might be fight between
the administrative forces, who wanted
NJ. S. Conner for temporary chairman.
and the anti-administrative forces,
who wanted Congressman B. P. Har-
rison.
Differences over temporary chair
manship were settled by choosing Mr..
Conner and giving the permanent
chairmanship to Congressman Harri-
son.
Mr. Conner. In his address upon as
suming the chair. sounded the keynote
of the convention. In patriotic speech
Mr.. Conner gave praise to President
Wilson and his administration and
pledged the Democratic party in Mis-
sissippi TO stand by the Democratic
principles.
Instead of providing for "big four"
to the national convention at ST. Louis
the convention of 1916 departed some
what from precedent by electing eight
delegates at large, giving them half
vote each. This was the result of
compromise agreement which was
reached before the convention assem-
bled and went far towards promoting
harmony and fellowship
The list of eight delegates at large
is made UP of Senators Williams and
.vardaman, Gov. Bilbo, ex-Gov Brewer.
Pat Henry of Warren, o. G. Johnston
