MEXICO GETS STRONG
Note ON KIDNAPPING
Preparing to Meet Any Emergen-
cy That May Arise as a Result
of Latest Border Incident.

Washington-The United States
government has officially notified Pres
ident Carranza of Mexico that it views
the situation, which has arisen as the
result of the capture by Mexican
bandits of Lieutenant Paul II. Davis
and Harold G. Peterson of the Air
Service, and the holding of these young
officers for $4,000 ransom, as most
serious matter, and one that demands
''quick action" on the part of the Car
rama government.
1t was learned on high authority
that the note which the state depart
ment has sent to CarranZa, regarding
the case of Lieutenants Davis and
Peterson, is one of the strongest this
government has ever transmitted to a
foreign power. Furthermore, it was
ascertained from the same high source
that the war department is proceed
ing just as vigorously in the matter as
is the department of state and is pre-
pairing to meet any situation that may
arise as a result of the Candelaria in
cident.
Up to this time Secretary of War
Baker and General March, Chief of
Staff, have made no public utterance
regarding the matter, but that both
realize the incident is one demanding
most serious consideration on the part
of the authorities is well known.
The department of state received a
telegram from the American embassy
in Mexico City which brought the news
of another kidnapping in Mexico, in
which the victim was an American cit
izen. This citizen, who is a Porto
Rican doctor, is now hefd as a pris-
oner on Mount Ajusco, mountain
within a few hours horseback ride of
Carranza's own palace in Mexico City.
Doctor A. Goenaga, the captive, was
kidnapped nearly four weeks ago, and
if the bandits kept their word he was
killed last Friday, which was the time
set as the limit for the payment of the
ransom demanded by the bandits.

Registration Day A Success.

Registration Day A Success.
While there was no means of telling
how many Marylander's soldiers, sail
ors and marines-to say nothing Of the
yeomanettes and other women who en-
listed for war service at home and
released men for the fighting divisions
took advantage of Registration Day
and gave the State the benefit of
their war records over their own sig
natures, it is estimated that the num-
Der ran well into the thousands, and
large proportion Of Maryland's co.
900 now are on the books. 1t is esti-
mated that the number registered in
Baltimore alone was considerably
more than $4,000, while in the coun-
ties, the registration was proportion
more.
In some of the counties the day
was made holiday, notably in Har-
ford. There Col. Milton A. Rockford
took charge of the registration. Hs
had a number of soldiers who served
with him in France to act as his lieu
tenants, and for days this staff trained
men and women in the best way of
getting the Hartford county men on
the lists. 1t is believed that virtually
every man in Hartford, now in the
county, who served with the armed
forces of the country in the big war
was gotten on the books.
Howard county was another in
Edward Burr Powell was county chair
man, and he had an active committee
from each of the six districts, with
registration booths at convenient
places in each district, Is booths In
all, and most of those from the county
who served in the war visited one or
another of these booths at some time
in the course of the day. / But that
was not all. Members of the commit
fee went out after those who could
not visit the booths and secured their
records in their own homes.
The registration work in which the
special committee of the Council of
Defense is engaged is an ambitious
one, and if it Is completed along the
lines laid out it will be the only COM
plete record the State will have of the
services of its people in any war In
which this country has engaged. 1t
will include the civilian activities OF
men and women of Maryland, and the
! records and history of the more than
40 camps and military establishments

tion and similar organizations, in fact
