the note declares, places in grave dan

which ought TO exist between the goy-

The note fecites that the American
troops crossed the border after the CO.

not considered one Of invasion then
solely because The United States said
they had misinterpreted the attitude OF
the Mexican government.
When the second expedition crossed
the line after the Glenn Springs in
cident, the note maintains. the plea
that this was done with the consent Of
the Mexican consul al Del itio, TEX.
Is untenable. and that act can only be
considered as one of invasion.

The battle at verdun shows no

the last few days record no fur
ther advances for the Germans.
Dead Man Hill or its immediate
vicinity has been the scene of the

Germans attacked the French posi-

this afternoons Paris bulletin.

Opposes Wilson A. Mediator.

Berlin, June flames W. Gerard
the American ambassador, had halt
hour conversation Tuesday with
Chancellor Won Bethmann H ollweg, it
was learned today. The immediate oc-
casion for the conference was the
question of Polish relief but the chan
cellor and the ambassador also dis
cussed topics Of more general interest.
Prof. Hans Delbrueck. Of the Uni
versity Of Berlin, has written an ar
ticle in regard to American mediation
in the war in which he says there is
something repellant to Germany in the
idea Of accepting President Wilson al
mediator. 1t is obvious, he says, that
the sympathies Of the president are
with the entente allies. He continued: !:
Moreover. President Wilson. by
using in his speeches expressions
which are insulting, has created an at
mosphere between us which renders a
cordial approchement no longer pos
sible. However, Germany need not
show herself infexible as the president
has already shown himself so unfriend-
ly that he has left almost nothing un-
done in that direction.
He might threaten war IL we re-
fused his advances, but he would never
win the support Of the American public

Paris, June 1.-More complete ac-
counts reaching here from Verdun
show that the battle which ragged from
May 27 to May 30, and which ended,
according to statement of the French
war office, in a costly check Of the
Germans, was the. greatest effort made
by the Teutonic forces in the whole
great verdun operations.
More and heavier guns and denser
masses Of troops were centered along
the three mile front from Hill No. 304
to the Meuse than in any previous at
tack.
The French stood firm under an
avalanche Of shot and shell and drove
back wave after wave Of a flood OF
Teutonic infantry. They surrendered
only about 100 yards Of ground at
Little Caurettes wood where a trench
had been obliterated by the terrific
fire Of the German big guns.
French Regain Lost Ground.
The Germans suffered so heavily
that they ceased further attacks, while
the French by counter attack re-
established themselves again south Of
Cumieres and won an important point
Of vantage on the southwester ernt slope
of Dead Man Hill
&. It DEVELOPED thak during yesterdays
battle west OF the Meuse the Germans
sent back the French line between
Dead Man Hill and Cumieres for a
distance Of three quarters of a mile.
The French battalions, however, ilre-
formed and made desperate counter
attack. supported by reinforcements.
After nearly two hours of violent fight
ing they recovered nearly all the lost
ground. ,
The infantry fighting in this section
is described as the fiercest in the war.

of Gardeners good ladies had the
curiosity to take steps to ascertain
just how far she would travel in the
course of an ordinary days houseworlk,
the work being all on one floor. Ac-
cordingly, when she arose one morning
she attached pedomoter to herself at
$50 A. NJ, and wore it until she retired
at $50 P NJ. During this time she &C.
complished an ordinary days work, no
more and no less, and did not go on
the street at all. The distance record
ed, though something of a surprise
showed that she was safe as she was

BOARD OF TRADE.
HAS DISCUSSION
water QUESTION

The monthly meeting OF the Gardi-
ner Board of Trade was held Tuesday
evening. The principal business of the
meeting was a discussion of a letter
from the Portland Chamber of, Com
merce regarding the recent ruling of
the Public Utilities Commission that
water companies and water districts
could not furnish water for sprinkler
system free. The paper mills and shoe
factories of Gardiner are the only ones
in Gardiner that use sprinkler systems.
The Gardiner Water District charges
a specified rate for fire protection or
place these concerns on a meter. This
is not, however, based on so much per
sprinkler head. Inasmuch as conditions
here differ very materially from those
in Portland, no action was taken by
the board, other than the appointing
of the following committee to confer
with the Chamber of Commerce of
Portland: j. w. Robinson, c. A. knight
and r. p Hazard.
