by General Trevino to the attention Of General Pershing, who acknow- ledged the receipt of the cOmmuni- cation relative thereto. On the 22nd inst, as your Excellency knows an American force moved eastward quite far from it's base, notwithstanding the above orders, and was engaged by Mexican troops at Carrizal, State of Chihuahua. As a result of the en- counter, several men on both sides were killed and wounded and seven- teen American soldiers were made prisoners"
 You are hereby instructed to hand to the Minister of Foreign Relations Of the de factO government the fol- lowing:
 The Government of the United States can put no other construction on the communication handed to the Secretary of State of the United States on the 24th of June by MT. Arredondo, under instructions from your government, than that it is formal avowal of deliberately hostile action against the forces of the United States now in Mexico, and of purpose to attack them without rrovocation whenever they move
 
 suance of the objects for which they were sent there, notwithstanding the fact that these objects involve no un- friendly intention toward the govern nIent or people of Mexico, but are, 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 marau- derS.
 I am instructed, therefore by my government to demand the immedi- ate release of the prisoners taken in the encounter at Carrizal, together with any property of the United States taken with them, and to in- form you that the Government of the United States expects an early sate- ment from your government as to the course of action it wishes the govern ment of the United States to under stand it has determined upon, and that it also expects that this state ment be made through the usual diplomatic channels, and not through subordinate military commanders.

NID' DINOSAUR IS 3,0OO,OOO YEARSOLD
Will Be Placed on Exhibition in
 New York Museum

New York. June 26-There will soon be seen here the bones of the monoc- loniOus a creature which if alive to- day would pass the 3,000,4 444 year mark. It once roamed through the then tropical glades of Alberta, Cana da. The most complete skeleton of the species ever found has just been mounted by Barnum Brown, explorer and fossil hunter who discovered this monster in the Red Deer river region. It will be placed on exhibition soon in the DinOsaur Hall of the American Museum of Natural History.
 With gigantic head, a notable fea- ture, double rooted teeth, a small tail and a beak suggesting a turtle this strange creature remained in it's stone mausoleum until found one day by MT. Brown, who was on a prospecting tour for fossils
 The monoclonious had five toes on it's front and hind feet with hoofs on the three inner toes of the front feet and the four inner toes of the hand feet It's great skull was five feet long with a hood scalloped frill, a short horn over each eye and a long sharp horn above the nose. The mouth was covered with a horny sheath, which enabled it to chop herbage. Tn each jaw and back of the beak were thirty vertical rows of double rooted teeth.
 "The horned dinosaur lived during the close of the cretaceOus period,' says Barnum Brown. They are found

LANSING DEMANDS
 TROOPS s RELEASE
Sends Peppery Note Asking for At
 titude Of Carranza Government

Washington, June 26.-A demand for the immediate release of the American troopers taken prisoners at Carrizal coupled with stern notifi- cation that the United States expects an early statement of the purposes of the Carranza government, wos tele- eraphed to Mexico City yesterday by Secretary Lansing.
 The note disclosed that the state department received Saturday a com munication stating that the Carrizal fight was the direct result of orders to attack American soldiers moving otherwise than toward the border, personally issued by General Car ranza to General Previnao and by the latter command to General Pershing.
 In reply Secretary Lansing requires that the de factO government trans init a definite statement "as to the course of action 1t has determined upon,'' through the usual diplomatic channels, "and not through subordi- nate military officers"
 The Mexican communication is construed, Secretary Lansing states, "as a formal avowa1 of deliberately hostile action against the forces of the United States now In Mexico, and Of the purpose to attack without provocation whenever they move from their present position'' despite the friendly mission on which they are engaged and which Is reaff1rmed in the American rejoinder.
 CSo ja <o place himself on record formally, and the plain intim ation lies behind the restrained language of MT. Lansings communication that force will be met with force. Apparently, however the Washington government Is deter mined that the de facto government shall not evade responsibility before the world, if war is forced upon the United States.
 The Note
 The text of the note follows:
 Washington, June 25, 1916. James Linn Rodgers, Special Repre-
 sentative -of the United States
 Governm Mexico City:
 MT. Arredondo yesterday delivered to this government the following communication:
 "I am directed by my governme ent to inform your Excellcncy, with refer eDce to the Carrizal incident, that the Chief Executive, through the Mexi- can war department, gave orders to General Jacinto B. Trevino not to permit American forces from General Pershing's column to advance further south or 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

from Texas northWard to southern AL berta. They were land living, herb eating creatures. It is believed that their horns may have served to ward off attacks from the huge flesh eating dinosaurs"
 MT. Brown has just started on an expedition for the far west, where h~ will prospect for more dinosaurs.
