HOT JABS FROM NOTE
OF U. S. TO CARRANZA

In these attacks ION specified Ameri-
can towns) on American territory Car
! ranzista adherents, and even Carran-
zista soldiers, took part in the looting,
burning and killing.
Since these attacks leaders of the
bandits, we'll known to both the Next
can civil and military authorities, as
we'll as to American officers, have been
enjoying with IMMUNITY the liberty Of
the towns of northern Mexico.
On January 10 train was stopped
by Villa bandits and 10 of the Ameri-
can party were stripped of their CLOTH
ing and shot in cold blood, in what is
now known as the Santa ISABEL mas
sacre."
Within month after this barbarous
slaughter of inoffensive Americans it
was notorious that Villa was operating
within twenty miles of cusihuiriachie,
and publicly stated that his purpose
was to destroy American lives and
property.
After numbering, burning and plum
dering, Villa and his bandits, fleeing
south, passed within sight of the Car
ranzista military post at casas
Grandes, and no effort was made to
stop him by the officers and garrison
OF the de facto government stationed
there.
While this government would deeply
regret such result, it cannot recede
from its settled determination to main
tain Its national rights and to perform
its full duty in preventing further in
vasions of the territory of the United
States and In removing the peril which
Americans along the international
boundary have borne so long with pa
thence and forbearanee.
! am reluctant to be forced to the
conclusion which might be drawn from
the circumstances, that the de facto
government, in spite Of the crimes COM
mltted and the sinister designs of Villa
| and his followers, did not and does not
now intend or desire that these out
laws should be captured, destroyed or
dispersed by American troops or, at
the request Of this government, by
Mexican troops.
II denial is needed that this gov
eminent has had Interior and improper
motives In its diplomatic representa-
tions, or has countenanced the aetivi-
ties of American sympathizers and the
American press opposed to the de facto
government, am glad most emphati-
calIy to deny II. II is, however, mat
ter Of common knowledge that the
Mexican press has been more active
than the press in the United States In
endeavoring to infame the two peoples
against each other and to force the two
countries into hostillties.

and this count concludes with the
charge that the Mexican government
itself refused to ratify the agreement
reached, thereby inferentially proving
! its own charges unfounded.
The promises of Carranza to redis-
tribute his troops and to pursue ban
dts have been 80 badly kept that this
government has been forced to the
reluctant conclusion that the de facto
government did not, and does not now.
intend or desire that these outlaws
should be captured, destroyed or dis
persed by American troops. or, at the
request of this government. by Next
can troops"
The note accepts the statement of
Carranza that he gave orders to Gen
eral Obregon to notify this govern
ment that no further punitive expedi-
lions would be permitted to enter Mex
leo unopposed, but denies that Obre-
gon ever delivered the ultimatum.
Carranza's charge that this govern
ment has not acted In good faith TO-
ward the de factO government In Mex
leo. but has hindered 1t In restOra-
ton of order in Mexico is not only
denied, but evidence Is offered in sup.
port of countercharge Of absolute
bad faith by the de facto government
In all its recent dealings with this
government. The announcement is
made that until subordinate command
ers of the Mexican government cease
TO menace American troops" at their
commands and cooperate with them
in good faith this government twill not
permit munitions of war or machin-
cry for their manufacture to be ex-
ported from this country to Mexico"
Admitting that the punitive expedi-
ton crossed into Mexico without no.
tice to or the consent of the Mexican
government, this government reiter'
ates its good faith in the promises
mnde in connection with that expedi-
ton, cites at length numerous in
stances of bad faith on the part OF
Mexico In actions and negotiations
since the arrival of the expedition
and the simultaneous growth Of an
archy throughout Chihuahua, and as
serts that 1t will neither withdraw the
army nor prevent its entry again"
into Mexico ''to protect American lives
and homes-safeguard which General
Carranza though internationally obli-
gated TO supply. is manifestly unable
or unwilling to give"
The charge is conveyed to Carranza
that by reason Of his attitude toward
bandits he is not discharging Mexico's
duty toward the protection of life and
property. "and governments neglecting
or failing to perform 1t are not worthy
of the name" 1t also asserts that If
reasonable excuse exists for Mexico's
failure to discharge this obligation, II
thereby makes stronger the duty of
the United States"
In conclusion the note declines the
Mexican invitation to withdraw Amer
lean troops for the reasons given, in
vites Mexico to assume and exercise
! the responsibility which this govern
ment now feels compelled to assume,
but adds that II Mexico persists in
| ignoring this obligation or undertakes
to repel or hinder the American punt
tive expedition by attacks. only "the
! gravest consequences" will ensue.

REJECTS MEDIATION PRoFFER
carranza Government Turns Down
the Offer Of Costa RIGA and
Salvador.

Mexico City, June 26.-Proffers of
mediation between Mexico and the
United States made by Costa Rica
and Salvador have been rejected by
the Mexican de facto government, it
was semiofficlally stated here. Chief
Executive Carranza is said to have
replied to the proposals of these two
countries that Mexico's deep regard
for its sovereignty forbids mediation
in crisis precipitated by the Ameri-
can inyasion of Mexican soil.

Chihuahua City, Mex, June 90
Mexico is civilized country and will

Gen. Jacinto b. Trevino, Carranza
commander at chihuahua made this
assertion in denying reports spread
broadcast in the United States that
American prisoners taken in the bat
tie at Carrizal had been hanged.
''The prisoners have not been
hanged, nor will they be-" he said.
"That is not the custom of a civilized
country"

to cross after 1t had been assembled.
Believe Americans Afraid.
"The Americans are afraid of u.s."
said one bare-footed soldier of Car
rama, who has been on guard at the
bridge. "They tried to scare us. Then
they found we weren't frightened and
they turned and ran back to their
kennels"
This impression was not discouraged
by the Mexican commanders. For a
long time they have been heartening
their men with stories that the Amer
leans, are afraid" and hundreds of
Mexican troops actually believe IL.
The lack Of aeroplanes is causing
the greatest worry to the officers who
are aware OF the plans to move into
Mexico. 1t is known that sky scouts
have been requested from the govern
ment, but for some reason or other
there has been no response. This,
despite the lesson learned at Carrizal,
where single scout plane might have
avoided the trapping Of the Tenth
cavalry soldiers, or at least carried
news of the treachery back to Pershing
within q couple of hours.
If the aeroplane is the eye of the
modern army, the United States army
seems quite blind.
Despite Garcia's defiance, II seemed
quite likely that the first real fighting
will be encountered back of the hills
of Juarez, where 1t is reported that the
garrison that evacuated with such
ostentatious secrecy, is taking positions
to harass the American advance.
First Battle at Villa Ahumada.
Passing through this. the American
troops may expect their first real bat
tie at Villa Ahumada. In that dis
trict between 5000 and 1000 Mexican
troops are massed.
Against them, from Ell Paso and
through Juarez, the army may send
1000 or 5000 men. This, providing
that the militiamen arrive to take up
the supply guard and. border patrol.
General Pershing, from his main po-
sition at Juarez, may send over 5000
more men for the big engagement.
Already General Pershing has sent a
supporting column after the two
Eleventh cavalry squadrons that went
to the relief of the survivors of the
Carrizal trap. Still no word has been
received from the relief expedition.
Chihuahua reports indicate that seven
more American prisoners have been
taken there as prisoners, making II
captured in all.

13O Miles of Steel Ribbon


 One of the chief sources of strength. in big guns lies in the miles and miles of steel ribbon with which the tube is reinforced. This ribbon, one sixteenth of an inch thick and about a quarter of an inch wide, is wound round the tube or core of the great cannon. On 12- inch gun about 130 miles of the ribbon Is wound, weight of 15 tons. The rib bon has tensile strength of 100 tons per square inch.
 From the time the ingots of steel, some of which are nearly 100 tons in weight, are taken from the steel foundry. where they are cast as octagonal masses, to when, as a complete weapon, the gun IS tested to prove its power and accuracy, scores of intricate processes are gone through.
 After being taken from the foundry. the mass of steel is dealt with by the machine shop, where hole is made in each ingot in what is known as a trepan- ming machine. Under hydraulic press of 10000 tons power, it is next forged to reduce it to a tube or jacket of the re- quired length and thickness of metal, whereon it is passed to one of the large machine shops, there to be finished to internal and external diameters in ma. chimes ranging up to 1S0 feet in length.
 The tube is next relocated and tempered or hardened in oil baths which are un-
 
 so that the tube may be suspended vertically in bath while the heat is stes dily maintained at the required tenn perature by. carefully controlled gas jets.
 The tube is lowered into and lifted out or these baths by Goliath" cranes cap- able of dealing with weights of 100 tons and with tubes 75 feet in length. The same plant is used in the subsequent operation of building up by the shrinking on process the various tubes or jackets required to form the complete gun, the outer tubes being heated before being fitted over the inner tubes, so that with the subsequent contraction due to tho reduction of temperature the outer tube tightly fits the inner

CARING FOR TROOPS
 AT END OF THE WAR
Plans Already Being Form
 ulated in England
BACK TO THE LAND
One of Movements Being Agitated. Condition of old Soldiers Has Been National Disgrace
 Heretofore

London, February s.--(Special. )--What is to become of the British soldier after the war? In former wars the condition of the men who fought and bled for England has been a national disgrace. Pensioned off with few shillings a week, not enough to live on and little too much to die on. the men who were broke in our wars have been national sore spot, which England has been very chary about touching. This war, how over. is on such a scale and includes so large portion of the population that the old methods will not do any longer Even the politicians are alive to the fact that you cannot turn three or four million men adrift, after the state has no further use for their services, to shift for them selves.
 England was unprepared for war, but 1t is to- be hoped that she will not be tlnprepared for peace when it comes. For more than a year past a strong commit tee of civil 4servants-not politicians-has been working onavarious schemes for the after care Of the men who are now in the trenches and more articularly for getting them back to work with mini mum of disturbance to the country and of hardship to themselves. This com rnittee has been described by Lord Hal dane as the general staff of peace"

 There is bound to be, of course, con- siderale disturbance of industry when peace breaks out-as great, if not greater than when the war began.
