that time but later, when American
troops crossed into Mexico to pursue
the Glenn Springs raiders. he impaired
Carranza's messages.
Carranza tslsgraphed ON May 20 to
General Alfred Ricaut At Matamoras
and General Ranaldo Carsa 1t Nuevo
Laredo the following:
IF American forces should come
across the border line into our terri
tory through any point Of the line un-
der your charge. you shall order your
men to fight them immediately"
The following statement was made
in "a circular note" to the Latin Amer
lean government. which appears In the
"bIue book in connection with the in
cident at Mazatlan. June IS. 1915. when
Mexicans fired on boat load of
Annapolis:
1.-THE American government has or
dered the immediate concentration of
its army on our border, with visible
hostility, wishing to draw us into a
war that neither the Mexican govern
ment nor the people have provoked. AL
though unfair and unequal. such war
seems unavoidable since the govern
ment and the people OF Mexico are
firmly disposed to defend their sover-
eighty and absolute Independence even
at the cost Of the blood and destruc-
ton Of their wealth"
The Carranza government informed
the state department during negotia-
lions concerning withdrawal of the
Pershing expedition that Gin case of
refusing to retire. there IL nothing left
but to defend the Mexican territory
by means Of arms"
Nearly month later. on July 20
1916, Secretary Lansing replied:
The United States government
surely would be lacking in sincerity
and friendship II It did not mako II
understood. very frankly. that the ex-
ecution of such threat would lead tc
the gravest consequences"
All OF the foregoing communications
may be accepted on the highest au-
thority az representing the attitude OF
the Carran8a government today.

BLOW UP MINE OFFICE.

Butte, Mont.-Explosion of dyna-
mite placed in the entrance of the Ana
conda Copper Mining company's pay
office early Sunday damaged that and
surrounding buildings in the heart of
the business district.
An iron grating was brown against
a building across the street, narrowly
missing a street car heavily loaded
with miners. Damage was said not
to exceed $4,000.
Windows in half a dozen nearby
stores were shattered, but the charge,
thought by the police to have been a
dozen sticks Of dynamite, was not
properly placed to do great damage to
the brick and concrete pay office
which is across the street from the

GAVE NAME TO NEW ENGLAND
Result Of Capt. Smiths Exploration
Of Shores of "North Virginia" In
the Year 1914.

Capt. John Smith, famous for his
romantic career, particularly the Po-
cahontas episode, is generally asso-
ciated with Virginia, but he was also
the first to discover the beauties Of
the southwestern half of the Maine
coast and the first to draw a map of
1t, an exchange recalls. In 1914 he ex-
plored the shores of what was then
known as North Virginia, but which
he called New England, name that
has stuck, as have many others given
by him.
In "A Description Of New England"
priNted in London In 1916, Smith
wrote II have seen at least forty sew
erall habitations on the Sea Coast and
found about 25 excellent good har-
bors. - and more than 200 isles.
From Penobscot to Sagadahock this
Coast Is all Mountainous and Isles Of
huge Rocks. but overgrown with all
sorts Of good woodes for building
houses, boats, barks or shippes: with
an Incredible abundance of most sorts
of fish, much fowle and sundry sorts
of good fruites for mans use
The Salvages compare their store In
/ the Sea to the haires of their headsj
Ind surely there are an Incredible
abundance upon this Coast.
The most Northern part was at was
THE Bay Of Penobscot, which is East
and West, North and South. more than
zen leagues"
The northeastern half Of the Maine
coast was put on the map by Cham
plain. Ten years before Smiths voy-
age he had visited Nova Scotia, dis
covered and named the st. John river,
AVID cruised as far south as the mouth
Of the Penobscot, which he, too. en-
tered.

PRESIDENT WILSON
WELCOMED HOME
MET BY VICE PRESIDENT, MEM.
5ERS OF CABINET AND SCORES
OF OFFICIALS.
Labor Leaders Also Present to Greet
Executive.-Cheers Fill Hall Where
President Makes His
Speech.

New York.-President Wilson re-
turned to the United States Tuesday
and, In his first speech delivered on
American soil since the peace treaty
was signed, declared that the peace
concluded at Paris was "a Just peace
which, If it can be preserved, will
safeguard the world from unnecessary
bloodshed." I
The president arrived at the Hobo
ken army pier shortly before 8 O'Clock.
The army transport George Washing
ton, on which he sailed from Brest,
was escorted up the bay by the battle
ship Pennsylvania and more than a
score of destroyers and smaller navy
craft. On the New Jersey shore, the
state which first honored Mr.. Wilson
with a political office, were massed
ten thousand school children who well
coined the chief executive of the nation
with the strains of the national
anthem.
Through the lines of the children, all
dressed in white, the president passed
to the ferry which carried him to the
Manhattan side of the river. He ar
rived in New York at 4 10 p. m. where
he was GREETED by the official recep-
ton committee, headed by Governor
Smith and Mayor Hylan. From the
ferry terminal to Carnegie Hall, dis
lance of about three miles, the presi-
Dental party passed through streets
lined with cheering thousands of men,
women and children who thronged the
sidewalks and filled every available
window and roof top.
From the upper windows of the bust
ness sky seFapePs great showers of
confetti rained upon the president and
Mrs. Wilson, literally millions of
scraps Of paper floating through the
air carrying this motto:
"EverybOdy's business. To stand by
our government. TO help the soldier
get job, To help crush Bolshevism."
The head of the procession was
formed by several companies of sol
diers and marines, followed by some
hundreds of sailors. Immediately pre-
ceding the presidential car was an~au-
tOmobile filled with secret service
men, and the car itself was guarded
by the presidents personal body guard
of four picked men.
In the car with President Wilson
were Mrs. Wilson, Governor Smith and
Mayor Hylan. The president remained
standing, raising his hat constantly In
response to the wave of cheering which
rolled along the route of march. At
one point on Twenty-third street, OPP
posite large factory building, the
windows of which were filled with girl
workers, the president seized an Amer
lean flag and waved II vigorously in
acknowledgment of the girls cheering.
A couple of hundred automobiles,
carrying cabinet members, congress
sional delegation and representatives
of the state and civil governments be-
sides diplomatic representatives of the
allied nations, completed the process
sion.

CROPS DAMAGED BY
LACK OF RAINFALL
ENTIRE WEST, WITH EXCEPTION
OF TEXAS, SUFFERING FROM
DROUGHT.
Livestock Forced to Seek High Att.
tudes Early in Season, but Feed
Has Been, Reported to be
Ample.

Unusually high temperatures for this
time of year together with the scarcity
OF water have resulted in the present
critical situation for crops and cattle
In the western states, according to ].
Cecil Alter, meterologist in charge of
the Salt Lake office of the United
States weather bureau. Mr.. Alter de-
scribed the present condition Monday
as follows:
June was exceptionally dry over the
western states generally, excepting on
iy In Texas and parts of New Mexico.
The temperature was also abnormally
high during the latter half of the
month, and these conditions coupled
with shortage of snow for irrigation
purposes in the mountains have
brought about rather acute drought
situation, especially on the lower
ranges, pastures, and dry land areas.
Short crops of alfalfa hay are threat
ened in many localities, and are act
ually at hand in others, due to lack of
water; and native hay is not doing
very well. There is already some con-
Germ as to the outlook for winter feed,
and rain must come in the not distant
future to assure growth on the open
winter ranges. Livestock, especially
sheep, have gone in large numbers to
the higher ranges earlier than usual,
where feed and moisture have been
ample. Hence the more mature ami
mails have put on flesh in a satisfac-
tory manner, and are in practically
all cases reported in good condition at
the close of the month. Lambs have
not done so WELL"

Runaa.

"Runes" were the letters Of the al.
phabet used by the old Teutonic
tribes. The word means hidden lore,
The earliest runes were merely fanci-
ful signs supposed to possess mysteri-
Gus power. The letters were even
considered magical, and were cast into
the air. written separately upon chips,
to fall as fate determined, ON cloth
and to be read by the interpreters
The association OF the runic letters
with heather superstitions caused the
FIRST Christian teachers to discourage
their use.
