BRANTS DEMAND
OF OARRANZA
/
Hi) Is Cleared For Pursuit
of Bar.dit Villa.
A RECIPrfGCAL AGREEMENT
First Chief's Troops May Enter Thle
Country and Arrest Americana Who
Commit Depredations In Mexico.
The United States accepted General
Carranza's proposal for a reciprocal
arrangement by which either his
troops or American troops may pur
sue bandits on either side of- the bor
der.
Secretary of State Lansing, after a
conference with President Wtlspn, an
nounced thAt Hie United States had
reached an agreement with Carranta
and had placed Its note of acceptance
and a supplementary statement ex
plaining Ita purposes, In the hands of
Eliseo Arrendondo, General Carransa's
ambassador designate.
The text of the reply to Carransa's 1
proposal, as sent to American Consul
Sllllman, who is with the first chief at |
Queretaro, Mexico, follows: ;
"The government of tha United
States has received the courteous note
j-of Senor Acuna and has read with
i satisfaction his suggestion for recip
rocal privileges to the American and
Mexican authorities In the pursuit and
apprehension of outlaws who Infest
their respective territories lying along
the international boundary, and who
are a constant menace to the lives
and property of residents of that re-1
gion.
"The government of the United
States, in view of the nnusual state
of affairs which has existed for some
time along the International boundary
and earnestly desiring to co-operate
with the de facto government of Mexi
co to suppress this state of lawless
ness, of which the recent attack on
Columbus, N. M., Is a deplorable ex
ample, and to Insure peace and order
In the region contiguous to the boun
dary between the two republics, readi
ly grants permission for military
forces of the de facto government of
Mexico to cross the International
boundary In pursuit of lawless bands
of armed men, who have entered Mexi
co from the United States, committed
outrages on Mexican soil, and fled in
to the United States, on the under
standing that the de facto government
of Mexico grants the reciprocal privi
lege that the military forces of the
United States may pursue across the
International boundary Into Mexican
territory lawless bands of armed men
who have entered the United States
from Mexico, committed outrages on
American soil and fled into Mexico.
"The government of the United
States understand! that In view of Its
agreement to this reciprocal arrange
ment proposed by the de facto govern
ment the arrangement Is now com
plete and In force, and the reciprocal
provided thereunder may accordingly
be exercised by either government
without further interchange of view*.
"It la a matter of sincere gratifica
tion to the government of the United
States that the de facto government
of Mexico has evinced so cordial and
friend]y 8 spirit of co-operation in the
efforts of the authorities of the United
States to apprehend and punish the
bands of outlaws, who seek refuge be
yond the . International boundary in
the erroneous belief that the consti
tuted authorities will resent any pur
suit across the boundary by the forces
of the government whose citlsens have
suffered by the crimes of the fugi
tives."
"With- the same spirit of cordial
friendship the government of the Unit
ed States will exercise' the privilege
granted by the de facto government
of Mexico in the hope and confident
expectation, that by their mutual ef
forts lawlessness will be eradicated
and peace and order maintained In
the territories of the United States
and Mexico contiguous to the inter
national boundary."
The position of Carrania waa set
forth In a manifesto that was Issued
through his government In Mexico
City, In which the flrst chief plainly
Indicated bis intention to defy the
United States unless bis demand for a
reciprocal agreement was compiled
with. Word was sent at the same
time to the confidential agent of the
Mexican government here to make im
mediate representation to thla effect
Not Selfish.
He—Do you believe in every man for
himself? She—Oh, not I believe In
every man for some woman.

The point where the cavalry expedi

GERMANS PAUSE
IN VERDUN RUSH
Bat Violsnt Cannonade Con
tinues Along the Front.
VAUX FIGHTING TERRIFIC
French Storm Foe'a Trenoh In Le
Pretie Wood—Say Teuton Loaass
Are Heaviest of War.
A pronounced pause has come In
the German offensive operations
against Verdun, so far as the-infantry
arm Is concerned, according to the
official bulletins from Paris.
Sunday passed without Infantry ad
vances, and the crown prince's troops
did not leave their trenches for an at
tack at any point Sunday night, the
French war office says.
The Berlin headquarters statement
confirms the French report of the
comparative Infantry quiet prevallldg
around Verdun.
All along the Verdun front and far
ther west along the A lane river, gi
gantic artillery duel* raged. The
thunder ot the big guns could be heard
on the outskirts of Paris.
The kaleer la again on the Verdun I
front and it is believed be will remain
there until the battle la decided one
way or another, says the Parla Matin.
He ia attending dally councils of war
with hia generals, insisting that fur
ther efforta be made to take the fort
ress despite the terrible losses luf
fered by the Germans up to date.
The German losses In the lighting'
around Fort Vaui, five miles north
east of Verdun, Friday and Saturday,
•urpass all previous records in this
war, according to officers who have
returned to Paris from Verdifh.
Time and time again, and with ex
traordinary courage, the Germans in
columns of four deep, rushed from
their trenohes, only to melt away un
der the Are of the French 75, ISO and
210 millimeter guns, which rained
■hells with deadly accuracy Into the
marching companies. When the smoke
and dust cleared nothing was to be
■•en but heaps of bodies.
The spur on which the fort is situ- J
ated Is almcst perpendicular in certain '
places.
The German lines were forced to
haflt, 1 but many Bavarian reeerviata
climbed tip on one another'a shoul
ders and struggled lip the slope, cling
ing to angles of rock and grasping
tafta of grass.
Again and again these human pyra
mids collapsed into shapeless gray
masses. Where the incline was easier
and the attacks therefore more con
centrated, the ditches below ran red
with blood. At the lowest estimate
the attackers lost two-thirds' of their
effectives.
The fighting also was desperate In
the extreme when regiment* from the
fifteenth and eighteenth Oerman army
corps attacked the village of Vaux
Friday. Dawn was breaking and over
the country hung a heavy white mist,
making everything invisible beyond a
hundred yards. This enabled the Ger
mans to get within rushing distance
of the French front trenches, but al
though they outnumbered the defend
ers six to one. It took four distinct
assaults before the first column of
Germans won the shelter of a small
group qt hpuaes beyond the church
of Vail*.
They then organized an assault upon
I the church, and the French, being un
able to bring up reinforcements on ac
count of the Oerman curtain of lire,
withdrew their advanced elements
which were In danger of being sur
rounded. Five times the North Prus
sian regiments rushed to attack the
church, but every time they left the
abetter of It)i ruined houses t'sy were
i beaten back by the fire from machine
I guns and the shrapnel Irom the
French 58-mllllmeter guns.
Jn the meantime. In their rear, a
curtain of fire was kept up by the
iFrench 72'h and 210's, so that It Was
Impossible for munitions and rein
forcements to be brought up for their
benefit, atid the fight died down on
Friday nhht from sheer exhaustion.
An Amsterdam despatch to the Cen
tral News says on account of the Oer
man offensive at Verdun, the Hatch-
Belgian frontier hat lieen closed for
several wtt'ts. That part south of
Maastricht has been_ reopened and
this Is commented on *ln Hoi ami as
probably Indicating that the Hermans
consider their offensive near an and.
The despatch add* that eighty-one
more hospital trains with wounlaj
Germans from Verdun have passed
through Luxemburg.

PARTY LINES WIPED OUT
Uwir Chambsr Follows Sonata, De
ciding Rights of Amorlean Cltlian*
Muat Not bo Abridged.
Tba United States house of rep
resentatives upheld President Wil
son In his position that American
citizens should not be warned
off armed merchantmen of belliger
ent nations, by tabling the McLsmors
resolution (which provided (or such
"warning") by an overwhelming vote
—almost two to one tor thus suppress
ing that measure. The vote was yeag,
>76; nays, 143.
The vote wss largely on non-parti
san lines, and the dominant note ot
the debate that proceeded the final
vote was that the prealdent should
not be embarrassed In his dealings
with Germany, or any other power,
by the utterances or Intervention ot
congress. The disposition of ths Mc-
Lemore resolution followed that of
the Gore resolution, which the senate
tabled last Friday by a vote ot sixty
eight to fourteen; and algnllles the
majority In both branches of congress
disapproves ot a "warning."
Among those who voted to aupport
the president were Republicans from
Pennsylvania.
Before the final vote on tabling, two
teat votes had taken place. By sub
stantial majorities, each Indorsed the
president's attitude. In quick succes
sion the house rejected proposals to
allow antl-admlnlstration amendments
to the McLemone resolution, and then
adopted a special rule to conaider the
resolution Itself, the administration
forces beating the opposition by votes
of 206 to 160 and 171 to ISS, rsspec
tlvely.
President Wilson remained In the
cabinet room with several members
of the cabinet to hear the result ot
the vote on the "previous qusstion"
In the bouse. He was told ths result
was a victory -for ths administration
and expressed satisfaction. Hs did
not wait to bear the final vote on ths
rale.
Representative Garrett, of Tsnnss
sse, moved thS "previous question.'-
Ths vote shut off dsbste and msds
amendments to ths McLemore resolu
tion Impossible. Tbe bouse then
turned to the sdoptlon of ths rule
Itself, under which ths McLemors
resolution wss to be debsted font
hours.
Congressman Campbell demanded
the "yeaa" and "nays" on the spedsl
rule. Tbe overwhelming majorities
on that and the othsr vote showed
the sdmlnlstratlon forces they could
tabls tbs McLemore messure easily,
which It did sftsr hours of debsts
from all sides of the issue.
With the agitation for a "warning"
in congress finally disposed of it was
said tbe president snd Secretary ot
State I.an»lnf would now reaume the
submsrlns negotiations with Germsny.

SEED CORN FOR THE NORTH,
Shortages Are Becoming Mere Ssrioui
as Importance of Crop increassa.
[Prepared by United State* department of
agriculture.]
The frequent shortages of seed con
in the northern statea are becoming
more serious as the Importance of ths
crop In this area Increases. In 1903
the acreage of corn In the northern, tiet
of states—New England, New York,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, ths
Dakota*, Montana, Idaho and Wash
ington—was t1,710,152 acres. Last year
it waa 11,121,000. If the industry la to
continue to grow, say specialists in the
United States department of agricul
ture, more attention mast be paid to
the seed supply and the attempt to
grow varieties which require • long
season In which to mature muat b«
abandoned.
Varieties must be found or bred
which will make a rapid growth and
mature in the abort period between the
last killing spring frost and the first
killing fall frost When man aids na
ture by selecting and preserving seed
only from individuals which show
promise In several years the habits and
characteristics can be changed consid
erably, and perhaps a variety which at
first failed to mature may be so
changed that it becomes suitable.
Even when a variety has been thns
adapted to a locality ao that it will ma
ture under ordinary conditions, there
will come seasons so unfavorable thai
It will not mature. It only one year's
seed supply la gathered each year all
the work ot adaptation Is lost The
proper way la to gather enough from a
good crop to supply seed for two ol
three years thereafter. Good seed will
keep without depreciation thla lons.
Go out Into the cornfield before tho
first killing frost, gather a good aupply
of the best ears to be found on stalk*
growing In competition with others;
hang tbeae ears up in some place Where
they will be protected, but st the same
time have a good- chance to dry out
quickly. When dry enough to shell do
so and put the aeed away where It will
not be exposed to too great changes hi
temperature and moisture.' Any nun
can follow the simple directions,here
given snd plant hia fields every year
with good, vigorous growing seed
which he knows Is adapted to bis farm.
Tbe matter of a seed supply Is a case
of avoiding trouble rather than trying
to remedy tbe trouble after It has ar
rived. If no seed of tbe last crop la
available the farmer la In bad shape.
He must purchase his seed, and In do
ing this he Is in grave danger of ob
taining either poor seed or seed of late
maturing varieties.
Home grown seed that has been well
csred for, even though it waa not thor
oughly mature, is almost certain to give
better results than imported seed. By
home grown seed la mesnt seed grown
on the fsrm, or In the same county, or
where tbe aame general conditions af
fected tbe crop. Tbe point to bo em
phasized Is that tbe farmer In Minne
sota or Worth Dakota sbo aid not send
for seed grown in eouthern South Da
kota or lowa. If thla is done tbe crop
resulting will almoat certainly be im
mature next fall when It la necessary
to harvest
Bedouins and Water,
It la not unuaual to bear a Bedouin
upon reaching a camp where wafer la
offered blm refuse it with the remark,
"I drank only yesterday." On the
Bedouins' long marches across dry
countries the alze of the water a Una
Is nicely calculated to Just outlast the
Journey, and they rarely allow them
selves to break tbe habit of abstemi
ousness, as this would be sure to make
their next water fast all ths harder.
Tbey are accustomed from Infancy to
regard water aa precious and uae it
with religious economy.
