San Antonio, Tex, Oct. 11.-Deny-
ing that he carried anything like an
ultimatum from First Chief Carranza
to the Washington government for the
withdrawal of American troops from
Mexico. Eliseo Arredondo Mexican
ambassador designate, stopped over
night in San Antonio. He was on his
way from Mexico City to Washington
"Of course, Don NEWSSTAND Car
rama demands the withdrawal of the
Pershing punitive expedition" Are
dondo said. He has done that from
the first. He made that demand in
March. He reiterated it in his note to
President Wilson. He instructed his
commissioners to the New London
Atlantic City conference to voice the
demand for withdrawal.
But any statement that am carry
ing an ultimatum to Washington is an
exaggeration."
However, Col. Juan Barragan. chief
OF staff to Carranza, who preceded
Arredondo here and who will accom-
pany the ambassador designate to
Warrington, was more outspoken.
The American troops must be with
drawn from Mexican SOIL" he de-
clared
"Uutil that demand is acted upon
the Atlantic City conference can not
consider any other Mexican problem. -

EXHAUST FOOD STORE
Red Cross Society Must Give Up Feed

Belgrade, Oct 9, (via London, Oct.
11.)-The food supplies of the Amer
lean Red Cross relief commission will
be exhausted by the end of Novem-
Der and the commissions relief work
in Serbia will then cease according to
DR.. Edward Stuart, director of the
commission.
Rumania's entrance into the war,
making it impossible to get food, and
lack of support on the part of the
people of the United States are given
by DR.. Stuart as the responsible
causes. So far, $3.50 tons of food
have been distributed to the needy in
Belgrade and vicinity in addition to
ten carloads of clothing
The number of persons dependent
on the commission for entire or par

government has arranged to supply

and had a cold. In came a tall. smooth
shaver, rather good looking chap with
a bottle of beer in his hand.

But I haven't got a berth and l guess

His smile betokened such a friendly
nature that 1 said, impulsively:
You can have the upper berth OF

Gee Whit he exclaimed. That's
awfully good Of you"
The porter made up the upper
berth and he turned in. Just as 1 was
doing off, he said:

cept your hospitality on one condi-
ton. I've got a friend who has a car
and he's going to take me over to the

DOWN SOUTH SIDE
New Line From Lawrence to Topeka
Settles Route.

Unless another obstacle arise the
way is now clear for the Helm inter-
urban lines to come into Topeka on
the south side of the river thru the
Deer creek valley. Apparently, all
doubt that the road will be built over
that route was cleared away Tuesday
afternoon when the Lawrence city
commission passed compromise fran
chise to the Helm interests giving the
latter the right to haul freight thru
the city
K. d. Klemm, president of the road,
had agreed to file bond, guaranteeing
the south side route. providing the
compromise franchise were passed. 1t
is probable the road will build into
Topeka from Lawrence over the sur
vey filed by the Stubbs interests of
Lawrence last winter. The Stubs in
terests soon after announcing their
plans to build an interurban sold their
survey to the Helm interests. The
Stubs survey connects with the To-
peka street railway company's Vine
wood line.

In high temperature the eggs of shad
hatch in three days; as a rule they
take from six to ten, and it is not un-
usual for them to take longer. Dark

For instance. overripe or green eggs
