100000 TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Henry C. Frlck Had Given $25o,ooo to
Pittsbure and Doubles Sum to In
crease Teachers Efficiency.

Pittsburg, Penn. - Henry C. Frick
is announced as the donor Of hither-
to anonymous fund of S25O,0O0 which
for six years has been used by the
board of trustees to strengthen the
Pittsburg public school system. Frick,
it was announced, is so pleased with
the operation of the fund that he has
added $250,O00 to the original gift.
The fund was used to train teach
ers already employed in the schools
for special work. Seventy were sent
to summer sessions of the best uni
versities the first year and last year
the number sent was 700. These
teachers have extended their activi-
ties to include night schools for i'm
migrants. One section deals entirely
with the mothers of foreign-born chill
dren in the schools, hygiene, santa
ton and the care Of babies.

FORD'S MEN FREE TO ENLIST
to Get Back-PreVious
Story False.

Detroit, Mich. - Newspapers re-
Gently have printed a story stating
that employees of the Ford Motor Co.
called to the colors by mobilization
order would lose their jobs. The
story has brought forth denials by
Ford employees now officers in the
Michigan national guard.
Sergt, Norman Baker of Company
D, foreman of the top department at
ord's place, was one of the first to
respond to the call. He said: "The
story is absolutely false. I went to
the factory with some of the other
men. They gave us our money and
a badge marked national guard serv-
ice,' the badge entities us to our job
when we return from duty"
1t is estimated nearly 200 of the
Detroit guardsmen are Ford en-
ployes.

ico--DepIore War.

Toxic, Japan.-"Of course, any
claims that the Japanese government
will assist Mexicans with munitions
and arms is out of the question and
absurd" said Baron Ishii, foreign min
lister, to a correspondent when asked
for his views on the Mexican situa-
ton. The interview was sought on
account of declarations attributed to
Mexicans that assurances had been
received from Japan that munitions
and other assistance would be given
to Mexico in event of war with the
United States.
Japan Would Deplore War.
"As for private Japanese compa-
MES selling arms to Mexico" the for
extremely improbable. AS you know,
all available rifles and guns are be-
ing furnished to Japan's allies to as
sist in bringing the European war
to successful issue. And l fancy,
though l do not know, that munitions
not available for our allies may have
found their way to China during the
revolutionary troubles.
let me say this with all the en-
phasis and earnestness at my com
mand," said the minister. THE ia
panese nation sincerely hopes that
armed conflict between the United
States and Mexico may be avoided.
Japan's interests in America, North,
Central and South, being essentially
pacific and commercial, any event
bringing disturbances into the Amer
lean market would be keenly felt in
Japan"

FIRM ACTION PLEASES KAISER
Suit German Financiers With
Large Investments.

Berlin, Germany. - Germany has
watched with a mixture of interest
and indifference the developments of
the situation between the United
States and Mexico. Some Berlin
newspapers feature brief American
dispatch forwarded from London,
that Americas declaration of war
against Mexico is looked for within
a few days. ANY attempt of Presi-
dent Wilson to bring order out Of
chaos in Mexico, if the president
takes hold with determination and de-
cisiveness to end the present condi-
tons there, probably would not be
unwelcome to Germany, which has
vast commercial interests there. Were
President Wilson to accede to Car
Fanza's demand that he withdraw the
American troops, it undoubtedly
would be interpreted here as weak
ness on the part of the American gov
ernment.

FRENCH WAR AGENT is SLAIN
New York Broker Carrying Order to
Buy Horses Found Shot-Mys-
terious Letter Found.

Chicago, Ill.-The discovery that
William Rebbe a New York broker,
who was found shot in Lake Shore
Drive, was a war order buyer for
the French government, added a war
plot angle to the mystery surround
ing the case.
Rebbe was found with q bullet
wound under his heart, lying on the
pavement. In his pocket was a let
ter addressed to Rev. John Timothy
Stone, pastor of fashionable Chicago
church. This letter asked Stone why
he had mot protected this man whom
we have robbed of 100000"
Rebbe recovered consciousness for
= few moments and said he was shot
by two men, whom he did not know
Police were at first inclined to be-
lieve he had shot himself, but dis
covery in his pockets of duplicate
contracts for horses for the French
government prompted the war plot
theory.
Rebbe said he lived at the Ma
varre Hotel, New York.

Jefferson City.

Word comes from the mobilization
camp at Nevada, Mo-, that Missouri
state guardsmen have been shipped
to the border.
With nearly all of the other states
troops in camp at the various gather
ing places, the Missouri national
guard has the distinction of being
the first to announce that it is under
way for the border.
Unless other states militiamen are
moved faster the Missouri men will
be the first of the state troops to
reach the border. In view of the
rapid mobilization it is considered
probable that Gen. Funston will give
the Missouri guards the post of honor
at the scene of activities.
If war is declared, the Missouri mi
litia undoubtedly will be rushed i'm
mediately across the line.
The United States army officers at
Nevada are now rushing the work of
mastering in the militiamen and Off
GERS into the federal service. 1t is
believed that the destination of the
troops will be San Antonio, Tex, and
they will be Immediately assigned to
posts by Gen. Funston.
Every man in the camp is jubilant
and anxious to get under way. When
the order came for the men to move
borderward, the officers promised the
Missouri boys they would be the first
state troops to reach the border. To
this end, the officers and men have
been working tirelessly to get the
equipment of the soldiers up to stan
dard. Large supplies have been sent
here and others have been sent direct
to the border for the troops.
Major Staylon's command of the
artillery companies A of st. Louis, B
of Kansas City, and c, independence,
have also received orders to prepare
and leave for the border as early as
possible.
The third regiment will be one of
the last to go on account of its con,
dition.
The first companies to leave did
not wait for equipment
Cheer after cheer rang out when the
men were told they had been given
orders to leave.
When battery A arrived from St
Louis and started unloading cars OF
gun carriages they were halted and
the loaded cars placed on a siding to
be shipped to Fort Worth.

Vera Cruz, Mexico.-The arrival of
several hundred American refu-
gees here fleeing before war clouds
failed to bring any unusual excite
ment to Mexico's principal seaport.
The native residents are optimistic.
The refugees unite in declaring the
crowds which greeted them at the
railroad stations on their trip here
were fairly courteous.
Out in the harbor the battleship
Nebraska was lying peacefully at
anchor with close to 200 American
citizens aboard. The Nebraska's Of
ficers have endeared themselves to
the refugees by their hospitality
but they are mighty anxious for the
arrival of a transport which will re-
lieve them of the civilians aboard. A
transport for the refugees is expected
within "a or 4S hours.
A train from Mexico City brought
several score Americans and several
hundred other foreigners. Not one OF
these had anything but the highest
praise for the courtesy and polite
treatment accorded them by Constitu'
tionalist troops and officers in Mexico
City and en- route. Twelve carloads
of American refugees under care OF
Special Agent Rodgers are expected
The hotels and cafes Of Vera Cruz are
alive with Americans. For the most
part they were in good spirits and
hopeful of an amicable adjustment OF
the difficulties between the two gov
ernments

Flrst's Fine Record.


OF the four regiments Of infantry
at the camp, the First Regiment is the
only one to have seen actual serv-
ice in the field. The First Regiment
was in action during the Civil War
under the name of the First Missouri
Volunteers. The regiment was organ
lied in 1852 and the first armory was
located at Fourth street and Wash
ington avenue.
Among the former commanders Of
the regiment are Frank P. Blair,
James G. Butler, George D. Carpen-
ter, Daniel e. Slattery, Eugene j.
Spencer and Nelson G. Edwards.
At the time of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war the regiment was ordered in
to a concentration camp at Chicka-
manga, Ga.
The First Regiment also has per-
formed service in crises during
strikes. Three hours after the St.
Louis cyclone Of 1896 the militia ok
charge of the situation and main
tanned a semblance of order until the
police we're able to cope with the
situation.
The Second Infantry, now COM
manded by Col. w. A. Raupp, was
organized in 1883 among the towns of
Southwest Missouri. The nearest this
regiment has been to active service
was during the attendance at the
Chickamauga (Ga.) camp at the time
of the Spanish-American war The
inception of the Third Infantry was
in 1873. This regiment is from Kan
sas City and is commanded by Col.
F. A. Lamb, who was unable to at
tend the encampment on account of
serious attack of rheumatism. Col.
Lamb is advised at his bedside Of all
developments affecting the regiment.
The ranking officer now in command
is Lieutenant Colonel P. ]. Kelley.
The Fourth Regiment, now COM
manded by Col. John D. McNeely, was
organized in 1896. The regiment has
never seen active service, although
1t, with other national guard regi-
ments, was at the Alger (Va.) con-
centration camp during the Spanish
American war.

miles southwest of Hachta, N. NJ Re-
ports to Col II. G. Sickle, command
ing the border patrol here, indicated

1t was assumed that II they crossed
the frontier the cavalrymen also
crossed in pursuit. The bandits es-
capped with several head Of horses and
mules, but no other damage was done.
Truck trains which left here loaded
with supplies for Gen. Pershing's
command carried double guards, and
were accompanied by motorcycles,
which we're armed with machine guns
mounted on tricycles.

Washington, d. C.-The text of the
note to the Mexican de facto govern
ment transmitted to James Linn Rod
gers, special representative of the
United States in Mexico, says:
Mr. Arredondo yesterday delivered
to this government the following COM
munication:
i am directed by my government
to inform your excellency with re-
fernce to the Carrizal incident, that
the chief executive, through the Mex
lean war department, gave orders to
Cen Jacinto B. Trevino not to per-
NIT American forces from Gen. Per-
shing's column to advance further
south, nor to move either east or
west from the points where they are
located, and to oppose new incursions
of American soldiers into Mexican
territory. These orders were brought
by Gen. Trevino to the attention OF
Gen. Pershing, who acknowledged re-,
ceipt of the communication relative
thereto.
ION the 22nd instant, as your ex-
cellency knows, an American force
moved eastward quite far from it's
base, notwithstanding the above Or
ders, and which was engaged by Mex
lean troops at CarTizal, State of Chi
huahua. AS result of the encounter,
several men on both sides were killed
and wounded and II American sol
diers were made prisoners
you are hereby instructed to hand
to the minister of foreign relations of
the de facto government the follow
ing:
1.-The government of the United
States can put no other construction
upon the communication handed to
the secretary of state of the United
States on June "a by Mr.. Arredondo,
under instruction Of your government,
than that it is intended as a formal
avowal of deliberately hostile action
against the forces of the United
! States now in Mexico, and of the pur-
| pose to attack them without provoca-
tion whenever they move from their
| present position in pursuance of the
objects for which they were sent
there, notwithstanding the fact that
| those objects not only involved no un-
friendly intention toward the govern
ment and people of Mexico, but, on
the contrary intended only TO assist
that government in protecting itself
and the territory and people of the
United States against irresponsible
and insurgent bands Of rebel maraud-
ers.
Il am instructed, therefore, by
my government to demand the imme-
diate release of all the prisoners
taken in the encounter at Carrizal, to-
gether with any property of the Unit
ed States taken with them, and to
inform you that the government of
the United States expects an early
statement from your government as
to the course of action it wishes the
government of the United States to
understand it has determined upon,
and that it also expects that this
statement be made through the usual
diplomatic channels, and not through
subordinate military commanders.
