American government.
F& was stated that no suggestion OF

City from Washington, except the
general note addressed to all neutral
governments upon the rupture of re-
atoms with Germany in March. 1t
Was made clear, furthermore. that
while the american government would
welcome frtendlier attitude by Mex

BEST interests of most of the nations
concerned will deserved if the south

Ambassador F1etcher, who came
here to report in detail to Secretary
lansing on conditions in Mexico, has
bold the State Department that de-
spite some Improvement in Mexican
AFFAIRS generally, much remains to-
cause concern to the American gov
srnment. This circumstance is con-
sidered important, because a break
with Germany would give Mexico an
opportunity to get money and place
The United States under obligations.
Those officials who have not been
eager to see Mexico join in the war
do not object to seeing General Car
-anza supplied with money, but they
believe that without contributing
much real aid to the Allies Mexico
would make it hard for the United
States F'aAce, Great Britain, and

Late reports to the state Depart

prevalent at one time that German
machinationsF in Mexico might prove
embarrassing. Although there are 16
wireless plants in Mexico, American
officials are convinced that none is
being used and that none can be used
for transmitting news to Germany or
or her correspondents.

The undersea boat was sighted on
June Is. about 1880 yards off the
starboard side. The steamer imme-
diately took a zigzag course which
prevented the submarine from getting
in a shot. Meanwhile the bow and
stern gunners were firing, at the sub
marine. Great rejoicing was caused
when 1t was discovered that the fifth
shot had torn away the periscope and
that the submarine had disappeared.
Mr.. O'Brien says that William K.
Vanderbilt who was a passenger,
gave the successful gunner $3.50.

new CODY THEATRE
STARTS SOMETHING
JAMES CARRAeEIn's BIG IDEA


james Carragein, Of the Cody
Theatre, had an idea that he could
properly advertise Deming by max
ing movies Of the city and camps
and send them TO the folks back
home, where the boys came from in
Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa and the
Dakotas. He slipped the idea to
the city council and it didn't take
the city dads more than half 4
minute TO see the situation in fav-
orable light.
The Graphic was then importunei
to fix M matters with the War De
parimeni at Washington, which wns
accomplished by wire, TO the salts d.
faction of all concerned.
While this is no expense to the
city will be worth thousand, "f
dollars in publicity. II j. announced
by Mr. Carragein that the films will
be frs, shown in this city BY III
middle of December.
