SUES FOR .S1O,OOO
of Estate of Child Killed By Pole Brings Action Against Main Street Property Owners.

Sebastiano Aparo, administrator of the estate of the late Mary Aparo, to- day brought suit for $1O,OO0 against John W. and Helen Kelly McCabe claiming negligence which resulted in Mary's death. Attorney Joseph G. Woods issued the writ and the papers attaching property belonging to the defendants on Main street were served by Constable Winkle The case is re- turnable in the superior court on the first Tuesday in September.
 The suit grows out of the death Of the little girl which occurred July about 10 o'clock in the forenoon. The child was a tenant in the rear of prop erty owned by the defendants, and the falling of a pole resulted in injuries to which she succumbed in the New Britain hospital a few hours later.

TROOPS KEPT HOME
 BY FEAR 0F STRIKE War Dept. Suspends Order for
 25,O0O to Go to Border. A MEASURE OF CAUTION
Action Docs Not Anticipate Failure Of President Wilson to Settle Ami cabIy Differences of Railroads and Employees.

Wa shingtOn, Aug. 15.-Orders for the remaining mobilized units of the National Guard to proceed to the border have been suspended by the war department. No official explana- tion has been made, but it is known that the delicacy of the railroad strike situation has been the moving con- sideratiOn.
 The suspension of the orders to the troops, which would have moved some 25,OOO men to the border, should not be taken as an indication that the presidents negotiations with the rail- road brotherhoods and the railroad managers have taken an unfavora ble turn, but is a measure of caut1on It was considered highly undesirable that all the remaining guardsmen should be moved to the border while there was a possibility of a railroad strike in which they might be called upon to guard or operate mail trains and trains supplying the troops al- rea0y or the border.
 Many Troops Ready to Move.
 The suspension of the orders pre- vents the immediate movement or the troops from Kentucky, Ohio and Ver- mont and the movement of all other InOD1llZed un1CS WHICH were Lo IldVe gone forward as soon as they were equipped. Some Of the Kentucky, Ohio and Vermont troops were about ready to go to the border.
 It is clear that the suspension is not revocation of the orders and that if the railroad strike situation clears up the troops will be moved to the border.
 The official explanation of the change at the war department is that difficulties of transportation and equipment suddenly developed have made a delay necessary. It is known, however, that the railway situation is the real cause.
 Recommended By Funston.
 A telegram from Major General Funston made public bj the war de- partment disclosed that the genera. reconlnt 1de l the suspension of the orders Ills tclegra m follows.

 "In view of foregoing I recommend that national guard organizati ons which are about to start for border stations be retained in their mobiliza- ton camps until such time as the question of a general strike shall have been determined.

CRISIS IN ORIENT
Attack by Chinese on Japanese in Eastern Mongolia May Be FOrerun-
 her to Trouble Between Countries.

Washington, Aug. 15.-The attack by Chinese troops on the Japanese garrison at Chengchiatun in eastern Mongolia, as reported from Tokio, disturbs official circles here today, as the possible forerunner of difficulties between the two powers. No details are known, but the fact that Japanese endorsements are being rushed there has led to the belief that Japan may intend a more vigorous handling of disputes as to her jurisdiction in China.
 The situation is further complicated by the fact that @ new railroad branching off from the Mukden-Har- bin Line, is being constructed from the Chengchiatun to eastern Mongolia and it is possible that Japanese rall- road jurisdiction may be held to ap- ply to the city.

 Of Neutral Nations by Blacklist.

Buenos Aires, Augs 15.-Publica- ton today of the Argentine note re- garding the British trade blacklist and of Great Britain's reply shows that Argentina requested that the British decree of Febuary 20 be re- pealed or modified on the ground that it interfered with dom estic com- merce. A note presented by this government on June 26 requested that the decree be applied in accordance with it's text without affecting com- merce between neutral countries
 In his reply, on August 10, Sir Ed ward Grey, the British foreign min ister expressed the belief that Argen- tina's prosperity did not depend upon business concerns in countries hos tile to the entente. Great Britain had taken precautions, the reply said, to avoid injuring firms actually of Ar genuine nationality, but was bound to watch the transactions of firms acting agents for firms in Teutonic countries.
