10000 Prisoners Taken bv
Russians

Saturdays State.
The great drive of the Rus.
sian armies against the Austrians
apparently is continuing with
undiminished successes. From
the Pripet marshes southwark to
Czernowitz Gen. Bruslloff's
forces are throwing back coun-
terattacks and advancing steadi-
ly, according to official Petro
grad statements. III Is days the
Russians have taken almost
10000 prisoners and immense
stores of war booty.
Battles southeast of Lutsk, be-
tween Kozin and Tarnavka, and
northwest of Buczacz have
brought further victories to the
Slav arms. In an action on the
Bluichevka river, southeast of
Lutsk, more than 5000 men
were captured after the attack
ing Russians had forded the riv.
er. The fighting continues
northwest of Buczacz, where
the Germans are cooperating
with the Austro- Hungarians, but
the the Russians report the cap.
ture here thus far of 5000 men.
Attempts of the Austrians and
Germans to take the offensive
on many sectors, according to
Petrograd. The Russian war
office also chronicles the repulse
OF attacks in the region of Sokul,
southeast of Kovel, one of the
objectives of the present Rus
sian drive. Berlin reports the
capture of 400 Russians curing
an attack on a German position
north of Przewloka.

War With Mexico Depends ON
CarranZa

Washington, June 19.-War
with Mexico depends upon Gen
eral Carranza's reception of a
stern refusal by the United
States to heed his demand for a
recall of American troops, in
the opinion of President Wilson's
close advisers. They were pre-
pared tonight for the possibility
OF open hostil:ties after the note,
which will be sent forward to
morrow, has reached Carranza's
hands.
The reply to Carranza's note
demanding recall of General
Pershlng's expedition was in the
hands of the Government print,
er tonight preparatory to its de-
livery and publication tomorrow
Secretary Lansing had intended
to send it forward today, but at
the last moment minor changes
and additions to the 6,O00-word
document necessitated delay.
Although it had been planned to
send 1t by special messenger to
Mexico City the situation has
changed and 1t probably will be
handed to Eliseo Arredondo.
Mexican Ambassador designate.
While the diplomatic steps
were in progress today the Ma
ton was stirring throughout its
width and breadth with the
movement of National Guards
men mobilizing to guard the
border. AT least 100000 and
possibly a far larger number
were preparing for active SER
vice under President Wilson's
call. For the present their mis-
sion purely will be one of de
tense; but should war come.
they will be ready also for that.
The new forces will not be as.
signed for border duty until mus
tered into the Federal service.
Even when mobilization IS com
pleted, only such units will be
ordered South as General Funs-
ston desires to fill the gaps in
his l,SOO-mile guard line. The
remainder will rest on their
arms at the State mobilization
camps for the present, awaiting
the turn of events.
Official reports from many
quarters show that a flame of
popular feeling against the Uni.
ted States is being kindled
through Mexico, apparently with
the sanction of General Carran-
"a for the acts in many cases
are those of his authorized mill.

the party platform exactly as ap.

submitted by the resolutions
committee, including the plank
on Americanism and that favor

til the harmony of its three days
sessions had been disturbed with
a row over the suffrage plank.
No voice was raised against
the vigorous declarations of the
Amerlcanism plank, but at one
time it looked as if the suffrage
plank had been lost. After Sen.

the convention that President
Wilson himself considered it vi
tai to party success, however, it
was voted into the platform by
a ballot of 1888 ~ to 1912.
The entire platform then was
adopted without roll call.
The plank on Americanisn
condemns the activities of all
persons, groups and organiza-

consplre to advance the interests
of foreign power.
Thorough preparedness on
land and sea against unexpected
invasion and the joining OF the
United States with other nations

urged.
On the Mexican question, the
platform asserts that American

people of the United States.

100, 900 State Troops Ordered
To Mobilization Camps To
Get Ready For Service
On Border


Washington, June 1S.-Virtu-
ally the entire mobile strength
of the National Guard of all
States and the District of Colum-
bia was ordered mustered into
the Federal service tonight by
President Wilson. About 1O0,-
600 men are expected to respond
to the call. They will be mo-
bilized Immediately for such ser
vice on the Mexican border as
may later be assigned to them.
Gen. Frederick Funston, com
mandlng the border forces will
designate the time and place for
movements of guardsmen to the
international line as the occa-
sion shall require.
In announcing the orders Sec
retary Baker said the State
forces would be employed only
to guard the border and that no
additional troop movements in,
to Mexico were contemplated
except in pursuit of raiders.
simultaneously with the ma
tional Guard call, Sectetary Dan
iels of the Navy Department
ordered additional war vessels
to Mexican waters on both
coasts to safeguard American
lives.
AT the War, Navy and State
Departments it was stated that
no new advIces as to the situa-
tion in Mexico had come to pre-
cipitate the new orders.
Within the last two weeks.
however, tension has been in
creasing steadily. The crisis
presented by General Carranza's
note demanding the recall of
General Pershing's expedition
ary force has been followed bv a
virtual ultimatum served on the
American officer BY General
Trevino, Mexican commander
IN chihuahua. To this was add
ed yesterday the possibility that
American and Mexican troops
had clashed across the border
from San Benlto, Texas.
Administration officials made
no attempt to conceal tonight
their relief over the safe return
of Major Anderson's cavalry
squadron to Brownsville, after
their successful bandit chase.
The troopers crossed in pursuit
of bandits in the face of intima-
tions that they would be attack
ed if they did so. General Fun
ston himself reported that he an
ticipated fighting presumably
with Carranza troops.
Mobilization of the National
Guardsmen to support General
Funston's line will pave the way
tor releasing some 10000 regu.
lars for immediate service in
Mexico in the event of omen
hostilities with the Carranza
Government. The guardsmen
themselves could not be used

Star Hurler of Phillies Talks About Pitching For

ny GROVER CLEVELAND ALEXANDER

IT is natural enough for the public and
the fans to turn to the pitchers as the
three clubs close up for the finish for
the National league. There Will always
be a great amount of discussion whether
the success of any team is due to strong
batting or to the work OF the mounds-
men.
This Is a subject that can be argued
from every standpoint. but when II comes
down to brass tacks. 1t must be conceded
that the pitching end gets the greatest
attention. The Braves in 1914 for in
sance, were not great hitters and their
success was clearly due to the strength
OF the pitching department
Brooklyn has great team Of batters.
yet when their pitching staff went to
pieces in the recent series in Philadelphia,
tho batters were OF no avail. They prac-
tically made only three runs In 35 in
nngs. That settled them as far as the
batting end was concerned. The Phillles
beat them day after day because they
could bat the Brooklyn pitchers and the
Brooklyn batters failed to hit us. 1t APP
pears to my mind that this settled the
pitching end too

hole Evans won with par four to five
for Gardner.
Evans was SO coming in to 80 for
Gardner.
The players started the afternoon
round at o'clock. Gardner went out
and for II holes was but one over par.
BY playing his splendid golf he re-
duced Evans lead from three to one
up. The crowd was on edge and ex-
pected to see a great fifth but Gardner
weakened.
Gardner won the first. third and fifth
holes and squared the match. Then he
lost the sixth and seventh, and became
two down again. The eighth was
halved.
The best played hole of the match was
the ninth. Evans had the honor and
laid his iron five feet from the pin.
Gardner was not all done. for he got his
tee shot inside of Evans ball, and but
three feet from the hole. He won the
hole with a two.
II The tenth was heart-breaker for
Gardner He reached the green with two
perfect shots, whereas Evans was on
three. Both balls were near the edge
of the green. and 1t looked as IL the
match would be squared. But Evans
made the putt of the day, sinking his

Evans to a half and also halved the

for he went to pieces on the next two
holes and the match was no longer in

PLAY STARTS
Play started in championship style with
the open champion laying his second
shot dead to the pin and sinking his
putt for a three, a birdie. Gardner hit
his approach too heavy and was over the
green. His chip shot left a seven-foot
putt whieh he was unable to hole.

EVANS OUTDRIvES CHAMP
The long fifth Evans outdrove Gard
ner by 20 yards. Both played their sec
onds safe. Gardner topped his chip shot
into the brook and lifted for a. loss of
one stroke. Gardeners fifth was five
feet to the left of the cup. Evans over
played the hole. Evans fourth was dead.
Gardner failed to hole his seven foot putt
and Evans won with a six.
The players continued to treat the
gallery to fine shooting off the tee,
both being down the center and well
out. Evans played sweet midiron
which had plenty of stuff on it and
stopped Is feet beyond the pin. Gard
ners second was on the lower edge.
Gardner overran his approach putt by
two feet. Evans made a miserable putt,
his ball rolling off to the left and
leaving him three-foot putt which he
missed. Gardner went down for a four
to five win.
The seventh hole is one of the hard
est long-shot holes in America and
Eyans' iron found the tran at the left
of the green while Gardeners was short
and in the rough. There was no punch
in his tee shot. He put his mashie on
but it left him a 12-foot putt. Evans
recovered nicely, his out being close
to the cup. Gardner missed his putt and
Evans was down for win, to 4.

The eighth was halved in tours. Gard
