The sentiment of the people in this

1t is pointed out that the reported
remuneration of the Carranza standard
by Herrera is the first to be made by
an important military leader of the de
facto government since the American
troops crossed the international line.
Gen. Herrera was military governor
of Chihuahua at the time of the mas
sacre of eighteen Americans at Santa
Ysabel several weeks ago. 1t was re-
ported that Carranza relieved him of
his command because of drunkenness
Washington, March 23.-Grave ap-
prehension regarding the outcome of
the American expedition into Mexico
in pursuit of Villa was evident for the
first time in Washington last night at
ter receipt by the War Department Of
dispatch from Gen. Funston saying
report reached him telling of the
Chihuahua revolt Gen. Funston did
not disclose the source of his inform
alton, and SO far as it could be
learned, no confirmation had reached
the State Department or the Mexican
embassy. Fear that the report might
be true was not disguised in official
circles, and developments were await
ed with tense anxiety. If Herrera and
his troops join Villa in the field, Off
Gals believe other Carranza command
ers and troops may follow.

The interest in the Maysville Chau-
tauuua continues and yesterdays pro-
grams interested all who attended.
Fortunate indeed is the person who Is
to attend all the numbers, or in fact,
any part of the programs.
DR.. r. F. Daugherty, the morning
hour lecturer, gave his last talk, his
subject being, "The Shams of Conven-
ton" His lecture was based upon
Harold Bell Wright's famous novel,
"The Eyes of the World" During his
stay in this city DR.. Daugherty gained
a large number of admirers by his
earnestness and the effective way in
which he presented his themes. 1t Is
with deep regret that the people of
Maysville see him leave.
In the afternoon the American Girls
gave a splendid concert. There are
six memebers in the company and
their program included vocal numbers
and selections on saxophones, violin,
cornet, piano, clarinet and other in
struments. Their songs and character
impersonations were satisfying and
frequently quite amusing. This com
pany seems to put to naught that old
piece, "You Can't Play Every Instru-
ment in the Band"
Not the least enjoyable of the weeks
entertainments was the Mother Goose
Festival" in the evening. One hundred
young folks gave a forty minutes pa
eeant that was very unique and ap-
pealed strongly to parents and friends,
as we'll as to the boys and girls who
took part. The entire pageant was
presented in costume.
This was followed by a short. but
very pleasing concert by the Ameri-
can Girls.

vivor of the Stefansson Arctic expedi-

CARRANzA'S NOTE
End Crisis With MexieO-DOcumen
Sent BY First Chief Short aud
Tone Friendly.

Washington, July 5-Early resump-
ton of friendly diplomatic conversa-
tons with the de facto government of
Mexico to the end that peace and order
may be restored in Northern Mexico
and along the border is expected here
to be the next step OF the United
States in relations with its southern
neighbor
The crisis precipitated by Villas
raid on Columbus, N. NJ, and cul-
minating in the fight at Carrizal, Mex
leo, between American and Mexican
troops, appeared tonight to have been
dissipated by an amicable note from
General Carranza presented during
the day by his ambassador here. Eliseo
Arrendondo.
The note proposes that the differ
ences between the governments be
settled by mediation or by direct nego-
tiations. 1t is remarkable for its
brevity, its restrained and friendly
tone and for the absolute lack of any
of the strong, even insolent Language
which characterized the last two COM
munications from the de facto govern
ment. II treats as a closed incident
the exchange of unfriendly communi-
cations which brought war almost
within sight
No formal comment on the note was
obtainable from State Department Of
flcials. A copy was forwarded to the
White House Immediately upon its re-
ceipt and President Wilson will de-
termine the course to be pursued. The
fact that Secretary Lansing completed
his preparations today for a months
vacation to begin Friday, Is regarded
as significant, however. of a feeling
on his part that the crisis is over.
Always for Mediation Principle
AS a matter of general principle the
Washington government always has
favored mediation of any dispute suit
able for such procedure. There Is ev-
cry indication, however, that In the
present instance IL will be deemed
desirable to conduct the coming ne
gotiations directly with the Carranza
government.
Members of the Latin-American dip
lomatic corps here are expected to
make inquiry soon as to the attitude
of the Washington government. in
view OF the statement of the Mexi-
can foreign office that 1t awaits only
a decision here as to whether media
ton or direct negotiations would be
preferable. Indications tonight were
that the inquiries would be met with
assurances that the two governments
had reached a stage where they would
not find it necessary to call upon the
friendly services of their neighbor
