Aid Not Forthcoming.
Commercial and civic organizations
in various cities of the State have
passed resolutions and promised aid
for families dependent upon husbands
and sons in service. but have done
nothing TO relieve the suffering that
has followed the enlistment OF the
bread winners OF many families. In
Charleston and Parkersburg com.
plants are made in great numbers OF
families OF enlisted men. some OF
whom have reported that they are left
absolutely in want and that while var.
ious organizations there have said
they would provide for their main.
tenance, not through the channels OF
charity, no actual relief has been at
forded.
In one Charleston company there
are twenty men whose families have
to be cared for in some way, and the
business man gave assurance OF ample
assistance, but have not given 1t.
Colonel Morrison said today that
unless means are provided for the
care of dependents back home that
he will approve the discharge Of ell
the married men in his command. II
all these leave the service, every
company will fall far below the peace
strength, on the basis of which they
were accepted into the federal service.

bic REFORMS
FOR MEXICO
GEN. CARRANZA HAS
COMPREHENSIVE PLANS
In Interview Says All Danger
of War with United
States is Past.

MEXICO CITY, July 14.--General
Carranza in an interview today said
that the status Of the negotiations
with Washington was very satisfactory
as the result OF the good will shown
to each other by Mexico and the Unit
ed States.
Thanks to this feeling OF good
will" the first chief continued, we
will be able to avoid war. War is
something do not desire. but if there
were no other remedy for the situa-
tion, would enter into it."
General Carranza, however. refused
to discuss the situation as it relates
to the possible action Of President
Wilson or of the Latin-Amerlcan ma
tons which offered to mediate in the
trouble between the United States
and Mexico. Within short time, the
first chief said. there would be lncor-
porated in the constitution Of Mexico
all the reforms which now find a place
in the program Of the Constitutional
ist.
In a large measure, he declared.
some OF these reforms already are IN
operation and there remains only
their incorporation into the fundamen'
tai laws of the country.
AS to the nOlQlnS OF pIeSluciltid
election, General CarranZa said that IT
would take place as soon as the work
of reconstructing the constitution had
been completed and when the country
was completely at peace:

chief asserted, will pass Il law of AM

other can return if they desire. Such

INFORMAL TALKS
BEARING FRUIT
Polk And Arredondo Copfes
But Both Decline To Talk
Warning Issued

WASHINGTON. July 1.-THE in
formal negotiations for settlement OF
the issues between the United States
and General Carranza are understood
to have advanced long step today,
when Acting Secretary Polk and Eli
SEQ Arredondo. Mexican ambassador
designate. held their third confer.
ence since General Carranza' S. proposal
for diplomatic adjustment was re-
ceived and accepted.
Although both Mr.. Polk and ihe
Ambassador declined TO say what mat
ters were under discussion, there
we're indications that the conversa.
tions had passed into the definite
stage where specific questions vert
being formulated for probable submiS-
sion to joint commission.
General Carranza's note proposing
a diplomatic settlement narrowed the
issues to two specific points, the anxi,
ETY. of the United States for protection
of It's frontier. and the feeling of the
de facto government that the pres
ence of United States troops in Mexico
menaced friendly relations. Secre-
tary Lansing's reply did not get into
the particulars of questions 10 be ne-
gotiated but ii is assumed that Cen
eral Carranza's definition Of the is
sues is in the main satisfactory to the
United States if ii does not predict
Mexican action against bandits upon
the withdrawal of American. troops.
Both Mr.. Polk and the Ambassador
are confident that an agreement will
be reached in the near future. 1t is
not known whether the powers Of
the negotiators finally decided upon
will include authority TO fix the time
and condition under which American
troops will be withdrawn.
Warning Issued.
Mr.. Arredonde issued statement
tonight warning against sensational
stories published throughout this
country by those who desire inter
rention.
Il beg to warn the American peo-
ple," he said. against the falsity Of
reports published within the last few
days, constituting an actual propa-
ganda system by persons interested in
causing conflict between the coun-
tries. especially at this time that they
see the favorable course of diplomatic
negotiations between the two govern
mentS proceeding toward a satisfac-
tory settlement. Out of spite they in.
vent reports Of all kinds for the pur-
pose of misleading and alarming pub
lie opinion and bringing new compll-
cations.
For example. the absurd report of
the detection Of General Jacinto Ire
vino. chief commander of the forcA'
of Chihuahua, whose loyalty has never
been doubted, as he is personal and
intimate friend Of Mr.. Carranza who
has followed him and supported him
from the first. | received yesterday a
telegram from our consul in Ell Paso
Texas. reading as follows:
General Gonzales has just received
a telegram from General Trevino ne
