PRISONERS. RELEASED
IMMEDIATE BREAK WITH MEXI-
co AVERTED.
Whether War Has Been Prevented or
Merely Postponed High Officials
Are Unable to. State.

Washington, June 28.-An imme-
diate break between the United
States and Mexico has been averted
by compliance with the American de-
mand for release of the twenty-three
troopers captured in the fight at
Carrizal.
Whether war has been prevented
or merely postponed no one here
would attempt to say tonight. Of
ficial information as to the attitude
of Gen. Carranza was lacking. Until
his response to Secretary Lansing's
note, dispatched Sunday, making
two peremptory and distinct de-
mands is received, there will be no
decision on whether President Will
son shall lay the crisis before con-
gress.
News of the release of the prison
ers, received early tonight in press
dispatches, brought undisguised re-
lief to high officials. 1t was accept
ed as correct, although no announce
ment had come through official
sources.
While it generally is conceded that
this move lessons tension and makes
the crisis less imminent, no one con-
versant with the grave problem is
losing sight of the fact that the all
important question OF Carranza's at
titude toward the American expedi-
tion across the border to protect ter
ritory and citizens of the United
States from bandit outrages remains
unsettled. If the de facto govern
ment stands upon the orders to Gen.
Trevino to attack Pershing's men
when they move otherwise than to-
ward the border, the situation &C
tually is what it was before, except
that there now is a possibility of
diplomatic negotiations that did not
exist while the Americans were held
prisoners at Chihuahua.

NEW ONE ON PHILADELPHIA.
Oft Told Tales of the City Have Moth
-. ing On This.

A stranger recently in Philadelphia
on business bethought himself, in his
friendless state, of one-time casual
acquaintance who had given as his
address a Philadelphia club. From
his hotel the visitor telephoned the
club and asked if he might speak
with Mr.. John Doe. The telephone
clerk asked the inquirer's name, and
after a decent interval replied that
Mr.. Doe was not in the club.
The inquiry was then made wheth-
er Mr.. Doe was in town and likely to
be reached by note sent to the club.
The clerk politely regretted that he
was not allowed to give any such in
formation concerning a member of
the club. The visitor protested and
was finally allowed to speak to the
secretary's Office. He gave his name
again and, in answer to what seemed
an odd query, that of his hotel. He
explained that the shortness of his
stay in Philadelphia was the reason
of his anxiety to know whether he
was likely to get hold Of Mr.. Doe
during it or not. The secretary also
politely regretted his inability so to
violate the privacy of any members
life.
The visitor, now vaguely feeling
that he was being treated like a dun
or a detective, protested in slight ex-
asperation that his designs upon Mr..
Doe were honorable and purely So
cial; that indeed he felt so sure of
Mr.. Does desire to welcome him to
Philadelphia as to be inclined to in
sist upon some disclosure of even a
club members whereabouts.
The secretary now grew the least
bit weaker, moved either by an inner
kindness Or by some note of social
authority in the visitors voice, and
at last grudgingly said that although
the rules of the club were perfectly
clear upon the point, he would, as a
courtesy, consult one or two men,
bers of the board of governors who
happened at that moment to be in
the smoking room.
There was again decent if tedious
interval, and the secretary's voice
was once more heard. He reiterated
that it was contrary to the rules of
the club to give information as to
the whereabouts of any member, but
that it had been decided that, in this
special case, an exception might be
made. He was pleased to inform the
visitor that Mr.. Doe had died in De-
cember of the preceding year.

Farmers and Vacations.

Every farmer and every farmers
wife should take a vacation each
year. Whether it be an automobile
trip, a boat trip, visit in the city,
a week at summer resort or the
seaside, a journey to some distant
point of interest or visit to nearby
relatives; the farmer has earned a
vacation for himself, and he owes it
to take his wife along.

A gentleman by the name of Black
burn called on the county commits.
sioners Monday on behalf of his faith
er, j. F. Blackburn, aged 6S years
The latter has lived a good part of
his life near Utica and in this county
He is afflicted by tuberculosis, and
at the present time is in the home of
the son living in Columbus. The son
asked that the county commissioners
send the father to the state hospital
in Columbus and maintain him there
until better or relieved by death.
Mr.. Orr, of the commission, asked
the visitor number of questions. He
found that the son in Columbus had
comfortable rooms for his father. and
that there were two other brothers
of mature years and with good posi-
tions. All were getting good salaries.
and the visitor said that he was be-
fore the commissioners with their
agreement. They had tried and failed
to get their father in the state hos
pital at Mt. Vernon.
The commissioners refused to act
in the matter and told the young man
that they were only empowered to
give relief where the party had no
means of support at all. In this case
they felt that the sons by their joint
efforts might easily maintain their
father in the Columbus hospital,
where the charges were but 50 per
week.

TAN SHOES
viii Be Very High, If The
War Keeps Up

Frugal persons will wear black
shoes this year, instead of indulging
in the riot of tan, bronze, cream,
midnight blue, fawn grey and green
footwear, which has found such fav-
or in. feminine eyes recently. OF
course, If you can afford to pay the
price, well and good-you will prob
ably wear any color boots you prefer.
But the man with the slender purse
will no doubt hug the ordinary black
shoe to his bosom and be glad that he
can afford to buy shoes at all.
So say Mt. Vernon dealers in foot
wear who have had their ear to the
ground. The war, they say, is play
ing havoc with the shoe business by
curtailing the importation of dyes.
And without dyes the new color foot
wear cannot be made. Prices of this
sort of shoes, they say, will continue
to soar until Americans learn how to
make cheap dyes or until the war
ends and permits the importation of
German dyes.
1t has also grown exceedingly diff
cult to secure sufficient quantities of
Russian horsehides, from which many
kinds of American shoes are made.
AS America is exporting large guam
titles of heavy leather to the warning
countries Americans will be compel
led to pay higher prices for their
shoes or go barefoot. Sounds com.
forting, doesn't it?

marked the close of the railroad cele-
