Generals Scott and Fnnston are ac-
cused of bad faith and lack of honor
in misleading Obregou by an alleged
evasive reply in regard to the cross-
ing of Americans into Mexico after
the Glenn Springs raid.
The memorandum denies energet-
ically the Mexican government pro-
tected the bandits who committed
depredations on the I nited States,
and defies the United States to pro-
duce proof.
The memorandum contains thirty-
five counts, it is considered cquivel-
aut to an answer to the U. S. note,
though It is not in the form of a di-
rect reply.

stand by their orders to Gen. Trevino
to attack American troops moving in
any direction except toward the bor-
der, and 110 way is seen to avoid a
break with the Tinted States.
A faction of the .Mexican cabinet is
said lo be urging even a more defiant
attitude, and wants lo include in the
reply a new demand for the with-
drawal of all I'. S. troops.
It Is not indicated here when the
reply is expected. Arredondo talked
to Sec. Lansing for ten minutes, and
look up again the question of the al-
leged mistreatment of Mexicans on
the American side of the border, ask-
ing that steps be taken to prevent
their occurrence.
It is known however that Interests
In Mexico ( ity exerting every effort
t„ prevent a break are much discour-
aged. Should the reply follow the
lines Indicated and be defiant toward
the United Stales, there is no indi-
cation the administration will waicr
in its determination to protect the
border by military operations.
President Wilson will probably ar-
ninge to lay the whole matter before
congress without delay. ...
President Wilson met the cabinet
before leaving to make an address 11

he expected an early reply lo the
United Stales note. The release of

tion, hut has not relieved the critical
diplomatic situation.

to be mere college youths. As a mat-1
ter of fact, the battery is made up
largely of college students, bank
clerks, bookkeepers and the like. The
"unpreparedness" of the organization
is shown by the fact that the horses
and mules had not even been brand-
ed. The battery will stop at Ft. Reno
for 8 hours while the branding is
done.

PREST. WILSON
DECLARES IDEAS
OF AMERICANISM
By Associated Press.
Philadelphia, June 30.—President
Wilson, describing himself as 'in a
fighting mood" enunciated to a large
crowd in Independence Square his
conception of some of the cardinal
American ideals. He declared that
America in dealing with other nations
must "vindicate at whatever cost" its
principles of liberty, justice and hu-
manity; that "America first" must be
translated into action exalting it
above all selfish interests; and that
the nation's policy and development
must be guided by the whole people
and not by any small group.
Applause repeatedly interrupted

El Paso, June 30.—A Mexican line
rider belonging to the Carranza cus-
toms service was shot and killed last

who fired across the Rio Grande near
Ysleta, twelve miles east of here, ac-
cording to a report received by Gen-
eral Gonzales at Juarez.
Mexican officials reported the
guard was riding with another in the
performance of his duty when the
Americans fired without warning.
The survivor's story placed the num-
ber of Americans at eight.
Complaint was made to Gen. Bell,
who will investigate.
The military supplies lost at Car-
rizal arrived at Juarez today. Gen.
Bell arranged to take them over. They
consisted of twenty-seven horses,
rifles, pistols and cartridges.

SHORT, MAY LOSE
ITS IDENTITY
In Justice of the Peace D. P.
Sparks court this afternoon the case
against Martin Baker, charged with
stealing two hides, is being tried be-
fore a Jury.
The Shawnee Hide Co. some weeks
ago lost two hides. They suspected
where the hides had gone, and noti-
fied the police. The matter was kept
quiet until it could be investigated.
Boon Baker came in from Oklahoma !
City with two hides that the Shawnee
Hide Co. claims are the same ones
stolen from them.
An organized gang of hide thieves
in the southern part of the state has
this spring stolen several thousand
dollars worth of hides, and the police
tried to connect this case up with the
gang.
Hon. C. M. Cade of the State Na-
tional bank will attend several bank-
ers meetings between July 1 and
July 15 in various cities of the state.

Oklahoma City, June 30.—"Oklaho-
ma's national guard not only will be
in disrepute with the war depart-
ment, but will be the laughing stock
of the United States if it does not im-
mediately recruit its First Regiment
of infantry up to war strength, said
a former military man, who Is in
close touch with the state admlnistra-
tlon, in speaking yesterday of lassi-1
tude in recruiting.
"Throughout Oklahoma patriotic
men are offering companies tor a sec-
ond regiment," said Brig. Gen. H. W.
Pentecost of Governor Williams
staff, "but they are not sending the
men to fill the hundreds of vacancies
in the First regiment and bring it up
to war strength."
"Under no circumstances, saw
Governor Williams, "can anything be
done toward the second regiment
until the First regiment is recruited
to full strength."
The governor is hopeful that the
number of men needed to bring the
First regiment up to full strength
will be recruited within a short time.
The governor's office was without in-
formation. however, as to the re-
sponse from the governor's appeal for
800 recruits to complete the Hrst
regiment. , ., 
" if men who havo offered them-
selves for the Second regimen^ really
are in the regiment now at Fort SiH.
"Men who arc patriotic enough to
organize companies should make it
to
tho First regiment just as soon as
they can. A soldier is a soldier,
wherever he Is put."
"Guardsmen of other states aro al-
ready on the way to the border," said
another military man. "The whole
country will laugh at Oklahoma if we
cannot get even one regiment. The
war department will lose all respect
and consideration for this state's
forces. The troops have been in camp
four days. We need action and need
it promptly."
He pointed out that if the regiment
is not completed at once, the war de-
partment probably will order its
strength divided into two battalions
of four companies each, joining the
battalions with a third from another
state and thus organizing a regiment
which would be commanded by a col-
onel from the state completing the
regiment.

SOLDIERS WONDER
AT MARRED RESERVE
OF SHAWNEE GIRLS
Shawnee young ladies who were at
the Rock Island station to see the
New Jersey militia go through, while
possessing natural American pride in
the citizen-soldiery, did not show it,
according to the complaint of the
boys in Khaki, like the girls of other
towns have done. "Why, they didnt
even come up and shake hands," de-
clared one beardless youth, with a
wry face. "Some places we get lots
of kisses and handshakes and all
lhat sort of thing, but the Shawnee
girls are altogether too reserved.' He
was assured that the lack of demon-
stration was due to natural reserve
and modesty and no lack of feeling.

JUDGE LECTURED
ON DIVORCE EVIL
This morning in superior court a
divorce was granted Rev. Thos H.
Miller a Methodist minister, from his
wife, Sylvia C. Miller. The allegation
was extreme cruelty, the petitioner
averring that the defendant had
struck and choked him, and torn his
shirt off. . , , 
In granting the divorce Judge 1 it-
man called the attention of the peti-
tioner to the seriousness of the di-
vorce question, and declared that he
became more and more convinced that
divorces should not be granted ex-
cept on statutory grounds.
Judge Pitman is not a believer in
divorce as a remedy for domestic in-
felicity. but on the other baud, be-
lieves'that a stiffening of the divorce
laws would in itself restrict unhappi-
ness in the ramily relation, his theory
being lhat if people learn that they
have to live together they will nat-
urally try to live as happily as possi-
ble. *
