Last British
Envoy Expelled
by Carranza
Charge Ordered From Mex
leo; Resentment Because
Recognition Has Not Been
Given Is Supposed Cause

WASHINGTON, Aug. William
Cummings, British charge d'archives
in the city of Mexico and the last re-
naming British diplomatic representa-
tive in the Mexican capital. has been
ordered by President Carranza to leave
the country. The action is interpreted
here as amounting practically to de-
portation.
In his annual message to Congress s
September l, President Carranza will
inform that body fully as to the state
of relations with the governments of
the United States and England" ac-
cording to an official Mexican dispatch
received here to-day by way of Ell
Paso. The dispatch adds that General

Federal forces in the state Of Tamauli.
pas, where there are many oil wells, is
sending "well trained troops" to all
parts of that state where foreirners
live with view amply to protect
them"
Although in a strict sense Cummings
had no diplomatic standing, as Great
Britain nad never recognized the Car
rama regime, he had delivered COM
municasions from his government com
planning Of mistreatment of Britt h
subjects and interests.
The action Of the Mexican President
is understood to be the result of the
statement made recently in the House
Of Commons by an under secretary OF
state Tor Foreign Affairs that Great
Britain would not recognize the Car
rama regime until there was some
guarantee that the Mexican govern.
ment was able and willing to protec,
the lives and properties of British
citizens in Mexico.
Charge Lindsay. of the British En-
bassy, brought the matter to the at
tention Of Secretary Lansing TO-DAY
1t is understood that there is nothine
to be done except acquiesce in the de.
cree Of expulsion, as Mr.. Cummings
has no official status in the diplomatic
sense and consequently cannot claim
exemption. 1t is believed in officia
quarters, however, that the incident i:

policy which the British government
will follow toward Mexico.

that supplies are being withheld.
Frank A. Horne, chief of the stor-

that the compelling of merchants to

cover drygoods, clothing and shoes.
The State Department of Farms
and markets, through the local d.
rector, told of the abuses which
could be eradicated by the compul-

Deputy Market Commissioner O'Mal-

PAINTING OF FALLS IN
BIG SIOUX FOR BOAT

Sioux Falls, S. D., Aug. 25.-An oil
painting of the falls of the Big Sioux
river here. at its best, prior to the in
stalling of the present dam, viii hang
in the captains cabin of the new mer-
chant steamer Sioux Falls, to be
launched at Duluth in the e future,
as a permanent memento of the city
which loans its name, If plans proposed
by Chairman n. o. Monserud, of the
Victory loan committee, and approved
by Mayor Burnside and the commercial
club, are carried out.
It is customary in cases of this kind
for the city which is IGNORED to donate
a silver service, set of furniture for the
captains quarters, or some other ap-
propriate article or articles. The idea
of presenting an oil. painting of the
falls. conceived by Mr.. Monserud, was
deemed an improvement in that the
painting would be more permanent mad
more fitting. Moreover, it would not
involve any great expenditure of
money.
AS a result of this plan an endeavor
Is now being made to find the neces-
sary painting, OF which there are known
to be several in the city owned by pri-,
vate families.
No definite date has been fixed for
the launcring, but 1t is expected to be
around the 1st of September. Miss Ma
RE Toohey, Of his city, has accepted
the honor Of sponsoring the new craft.
A~nticipations are that a delegation of
eight or 10 people will go from Sioux
Falls for the occasion, including A. r.
Fellows, president of the commercial
club; MI. Monserud, possibly the city
officials. n several others.

INSURANCE COMPANIES
MUST CUT OFF WAR CHARGE

Pierre, S. D., Aug. 2S.-That the 10
per cent %surcharge imposed by insur-
tnce companies in South Dakota on all
tinds of fire risks is discriminating,
md must be discontinued at once, is
:he substance of a notice sent out by
w. N, Van Camp, state commissioner
Of insurance.
Fire insurance companies through
out the nation undertook to place this
Extra 10 per cent charge on all fire
risks, in order to cover extra war ex-
benses. At a hearing of the national
association of insurance commission
trs, ii was found that this extra charge
had not been imposed in all states. and
that it had no been imposed on all
classes of risks. AS a result of this
finding, the notice forbidding the extra
charge was sent to the South Dakota
ngents.
