THE citizens of Mexico should make
every effort to do their shopping in
the mornings especially during the
holidays and aid the merchants in car
ing for their unusually large trade. Be
cause of the universal use Of the motor
car the shopper from the country does
not arrive until the afternoon. With
both town and country trade in the
stores at the same time conditions are
such that it is hard for the business
man and his staff to give the buying
public the service they would like to.

The Pan German Gazette brands the

The Kreuz Zeitung Is skeptical OF the

CHICAGO, May 29.--Funds for con-

subscription and it is expected contri-
buttons will be received from 100000
persons. Wilbur w. Marsh, of Iowa,

Of party finances.
Mr.. Marsh reviewed the financial
features OF Democratic presidential
campaigns from Samuel ]. Tilden to
woodrow Wilson ana contrasted the
methods used in raising money for po-
litical purposes in the old days and

object was to open up a channel to the

Methods Of practical political work,
closer cooperation between the various

sidered at today's sessions of the COM

j. s. WITHHOLDING
RIGHT Of PASSAGE
TO MEXICAN FORCE
Carranza Informed That Per-
mission for Troops to Pass
Through Texas Is Being
Held Up for Present.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-President
Carranza has been notified by the
American government that permission
for the passage of Mexican troops
through American territory will be
withheld for the present. Mexico had
asked to be permitted to move 1000
men from Aqua Prieta to Juarez for
operation against Francisco Villas $
forces.
1t was said today officially that the
decision OF the government was based
upon the belief that the force which
1t was proposed to move through Ari-
zona, New Mexico and Texas would
not be able to furnish protection to
American citizens In Northern Mexico
because the revoutionists had cut the
road between Juarez and Chihuahua.
IL was made clear at the state de-
partment, however, that in the event
president Carranza could show that
there was greater necessity for the
presence Of the force of 1000 men inn
mediately south OF the border at Juarez
than at Aqua Prieta, in the territory
where the Yaqui Indians are becoming
troublesome. the position Of the United
States government might be altered.
Gov. Hobby, Of Texas, has notified
the state department that he will offer
no objection to the passage of the
troops through Texas, provided guar
Northern Mexico can be obtained. Pro-
tests, however, are understood to have
reached the state department from a
number of sources, including senators
from the border states, the basis being
that the movement Of the Mexican
troops might result In another raid sim
Mexican troops had passed through the
United States several years ago.
The situation in Northern Mexico was
described as somewhat delicate. Villa
has become advised of Carranza's re-
quest, and it is believed he is waiting
with sufficient forces to make negligi-
BILE any effort on the part Of federal
troops to go to the relief Of Chihuahua
City
