DEMAND IS MADE
that GOVERNMENT
ACT IN new CRISIS
Washington July 81 While the state and
navy departments were today awaiting reports
that might give fresh details Of the Tamasie river

To-Day awaiting IcpOIlo
tails of the 1amasie river
incident, news of an adj
ditional Mexican outrage
was officially received.
On July 1e, according to a dis
patch to the state department,
band Of Mexican bandits robbed the
loading station of the Atlantic Refin-
ing company at Purto Lobos in the
Tampico district. The loot, consist
ing of 10000, was intended for the
companys pay roll. The dispatch
failed TO give any additional facts
and it was assumed by state depart
ment officials that no casualties at
tended the attack.
Wants U. S. Claims.
Washington. July 12.-The senate
foreign relations committee today
unanimously reported out a resolu-
ton by Senator King, Utah, calling
upon the state department to furnish
the committee with all information
with reference to American claims
against the Mexican government and
what emasures are contemplated with
respect thereto.
Mexico Crisis Near.
Washington, July 21-Nothing
short of an apology from the Carranza
government, with evidence that the
band of desperadoes who insulted the
American flag and held up and rob-
bed a number of American sailors
have been summarily punished, will
be acceptable to the United States.
This was said to be the attitude OF
the state department, as officials
awaited further information of the
affront, whicn occurred July near
Tampico, Mexico.
This is territory where Carranza is
and because Of this alleged control
neither American soldiers nor sailors
are permitted to carry side arms.
No Report Received.
The defenseless condition of the
American bluejackets made them easy
prey for the bandits Neither tho
state department nor the navy depart
ment has had an additional report on
the situation.
If one is received it will Immediate
ly be dispatched to the President. who
is down the Potomac River on the
Nayfower.
Because it is admitted in official
quarters that the incident represents
the grayest feature of Mexican-Amer-
lean relations in the last year, the
state department is hoping the matter
has been adjusted by the American
naval officers now in Mexican waters,
If the officers have dem2nded an
apology, and one has been given by
the Carrrauza authorities at Tampico,
the matter would be largely dls.

After winter of voluminous wraps
and great showing of ample capes
for spring, some trim and very prac-
tical coats have appeared among new
arrivals in outer garments. These pur-
poseful and businesslike wraps have
no superfiuous fullness. To see one is
to bcgrudge its wearer the Joys 1t

tramps afield, all sorts Of outdoor ac-
tivities, to be enjoyed without fear Of
wind or weather. And they are more
than presentable. They have a good
style all their own.

1t is Of heavy cheviot In u gray mix

mend 1t to the active. outdoor woman.
In point of style, Its neatness and fine
adjustment place 1t ut the head of Its
class. 1t is cut cleverly and on orig
inal lines, and 1t is faultlessly finished.

think they liked him they were SO
tough they would never admit 1t, and
some Of them claimed he was Jonah,

they all told him their vows as soon
as they made them and he was sup
posed to be . sort Of referee as to
whether they kept them or not
During my second stunt in the front
lines things got pretty bad. The Ger
mans were i've to our one and they
kept pushing back parts Of the line
and cleaning out others. And the
weather was as bad as 1t could be
and the food did not always come reg
ularly. Now. before they took their
vows. every last man in the bunch
would have been kicking and growling
all the time. but. as 1t was, the only
time they growled was when the Ger.
mans pushed us back.
Things kept getting worse and you
could see that the men talked to the
chaplain more and quite few Of them
got real chummy with him.

Another onicer came up to the lieu

yards when another shell whizzed over
them. They laid to and third one
came. There were three In less than
dve minutes. directly over their heads.
Then q shell landed on the left side
Of the trench and q poilu yelled that
four men had got It. They were an
wounded and three died later. The
lieutenant went over to them and Just
after he passed me 4 lad got It square
not far from me and was Knocked
over to where I was lying.
The lieutenant came back and
helped me with the first-aid roll and
then the Germans began using shrap-
mel. The lieutenant was swearing
hard about the shrapnel and the GeE.
mans and everything else.
Farther to the right a shell had just
struck near the parados and made q
big crater and across from 1t. against
the parapet. was q young chap with
q deep cash in his head, sitting on
the IRE step and next to him q fellow
nursing the place where his arm had
been blown OF. Our bread ration lay
all about the trench and some Of the
poilus were fishing 1t out Of the mud
and water and wiping the biscuits OF
on their sleeves or eating as fast ~
they could. Only some Of the biscuits
had fallen In bloody water and they
did not eat these.
A young fellow. hardly more than Q
boy. stumbled over the parados and
fell Into the trench right near the
lieutenant and the lieutenant dressed
his wounds himself. I think he was
some relation Of the boy.
The lieutenant asked him how he
felt. but the boy only asked for water
and smiled. But you could see he was
In great pain. Then the boy said
"Oh. the pain II awful. am going
to die"
you are all right. old man." the
lieutenant said. "You will be home
soon. The stretcher bearers are com.
ing" 20 we passed the word for the
stretcher bearers.
Then he took the water bottle from
the boys side and sat him up and gave
him some water. He left the water
bottle with the chap and went 10
hurry the stretcher bearers along.
When he got around the corner Of the
trench the boy was slipping back and
the water bottle had fallen down. So
I went over to him and propped him
up again and gave him some more
water.
