AMERICAN ACT

GEN. AGUILAR SEES
GROSS VIOLATION
Of Mexican Sovereignty in
American Troops Occupa-.
ton Of Juarez

WASHINGTON. June II. - General
Candido Aguilar. President Carranza's s
confidential ambassador to the United
States. issued to the press today a fer
NAL statement declaring that the gov
ernment and people Of Mexico consider
as a violation OF Mexican sovereignty
the crossing Of United States soldiers in
to Mexican territory" and expressing
the hope that the situation created by
the latest occurrences in Juarez will be
satisfactorily adjusted by the two coun-
tries"
A copy Of General AguilaTs statement
was sent to the state department. but
officials there said they did not regard
it in the nature Of a formal protest and
that no reply would be made. They

who fired into FL Paso. Texas.
After tho American troops crossed the
international border. General Aguilar
and DR. Rojo, the Mexican charge. were
invited to the state department by Act
ing Secretary Phillips who explained why
the American forces entered Mexico anc
gave assurances that they would be with
drawn Immediately after their object
had been attained.
1t was understood that both Of tn"
Mexican representatives appeared to h"
satisfied with the explanation and in tho
light Of this II was assumed General
Aguilar had sent his statement To tho
state department merely to keep the re-
cord straight.
In this connection II was learned au-
thoritativcly today that President Car
rama never had assented to tn" agree
mcnt proposing that where bandit bands
committed dcprcdations in either coun-
try the armed forces Of that country
could follow "a hot trail" across TN" -

Unofficial reports vary as to whether
the Germans will or will not sign the
treaty. London dispatch quoting a
message from Berlin, says seven MEM
bers OF the German cabinet are in
favor Of signing. but that tho other
seven are opposed 10 such action. A
! Paris newspaper asserts that one Of the
German peace delegates declared before
he left Versailles for Weimar that
Grrmany would sign because IT was
realized dire consequences would follow
refusal.
Considerable resentment prevails al
Weimar by reason of the fact that the
German delegation on leaving Versailles
for Weimar was hooted by a crowd or
hoodlums and two members of the dele
CATION were struck by stones. Premier
Clcmencnau has written q letter OF
Germany would sign because It was
tcntiary. The prefect Of the department
and the olice commissioner have been
dismissed.
The council Of Ave met Tuesday and
considered tho clauses in the Austrian
peace treaty which have not yet been
handed In to the Austrians.
The Turkish delegation which has ar
rived in France to discuss Turkish
claims for mild treatment was heard by
the council Of ten. the main p'"a "t
the Turks was that the Turkish empire
be net dismembered, the claim oelnG
put forth that the Turkish people were
not responsible for the country's enter
ing into the war on the side OF the

promised TO consider memorandum on
tho question which Is to be presented

With the exception of the Ukraine only those countries which have maintained marine commerce have sufficient food supplies to meet actual needs until next harvest, and even in the Ukraine, with stores accu- mulated on the farms, there is famine in the large centers of population.
 Belgium and northern France, as we'll as Serbia, appear on the hunger map distinct from the rest of Europe because they stand in different rela- tion from the other nations to the peo- pie of the United States. America has for four years maintained the small war rations of Belgium and northern France and is already making special efforts to care for their increased after-the-war needs, which, with those of Serbia, must be included in this plan, are urgent in the extreme and must have immediate relief.
 The gratitude of the Belgian nation for the help America has extended to her during the war constitutes the strongest appeal for us to continue our work there The moment the German armies withdrew from her soil and she was established once more in her own

 Bohemia, Serbia, Roumanla and Montenegro have already reached the famine point and are suffering heavy toll of death. The Armenian popula- tion Is falling each week as hunger takes Its toll, and in Greece, Albania and Roumania so serious are the food shortages that famine is near. AL though starvation is not yet imminent, Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Fur key are in the throes of serious strin- gencies.
 In order to fulfill Americas pledge in world relief we will have to export every ton of food which can be han dled through our ports. This means at the very least a minimum of 20,0OO,000 tons compared with 6,OOO,O00 tons pre- war exports and 11,92OO00 tons ex- ported last year, when we were bound by the ties of war to the European allies.
 If we fall to Tighten the black spots on the hunger map or if we allow any portions to become darker the very peace for which we fought and bled will be threatened.

SAVE 16,OOO, 900 BUSHELS OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY
 WAS LOST IN THRESHING
Farmers, Urged by Food Adminfstra- ton, Provide Seven Extra Loavss
 of Bread for Every American.

By adopting cleaner threshing meth ods and by literally combing harvest fields to gather grain formerly vast ed. threshermen and farmers of the United States this year saved fully 16,000,0 900 bushels of wheat, estimated as equivalent to about seven one-pound loaves of bread for every person in the country. This result, accompanied by corresponding savings of barley, oats, rye and other grains, is shown by reports from 93 grain states to the U. $. Food Administration. Other states, although not prepared to furnish defi- mite figures of conservation in the grain fields, report greatly reduced harvest losses.
 This rural food saving achievement accomplished in scarcely six months time, was in direct response to re- quests by the Food Administration, which asked farmers and threshermen to reduce harvest losses from about 3A per cent-the estimated average in normal times-to the lowest possi- ble minimum. Country grain thresh- ing committees carried into every grain growing community the official recommendations for accomplishing the results desired
 In numerous instances drivers of racks with leaky bottoms were sent from the fields to repair their equip ment and frequently bad order thresh- ing machines were stopped until the cause of waste was removed. But in proportion to the number of persons engaged in gathering the nations grain crop, cases of compulsion were com paratively rare. The Food Adminis- tration freely attributes the success of the grain threshing campaign to pa triotic service by farmers, thresher- men and their crews. Incidentally grain growers of the United States are many millions of dollars "in pocket as a result of the grain saved.
