conferences does not mean, in any
way, a rupture of the good relations
of friendship between the conferees
nor between the respective governments."
(Signed "A. Obregon,
"H. L. Scott.
"Frederick Kunston."
To-night it was pointed out authoritatively
that the result of the
various meetings in El Paso does not
mean that there is any immediate
threat of a rupture between the United
Staes and Mexico. So far as the
United States is concerned, it is said,
its army iu the Mexican State ol
Chihuahua will remain practically inactive.
The only break that can possibly
come would follow an attack by
Carranza troops upon American
truupa, il wiib aaiu. jll is uiiucioluwu
that Gen. Obregon lias been warned
that such an attack will mean th^beginning
of reprisals.
Conditions along the border were
emphasized to-night by the receipt of
dispatches from Marathon, Texas,
stating that Mexican bandits had
again c^issed into American territory
and fired on American soldiers and
civilians. ?

The word carat is derived from an
Arablo word meaning a weight of four
grains. In Greek it signifies little
horn, the fruit of the carob or locust
tree. The carat is a small weight
(originally in tbe form of a seed) used
tor diamonds and precious stones, and
ei measure for determining the fineness
of gold. Thft exact weight of the
carat 1ft practice varies slightly in different
places. In 1877 a syndicate of
London, Paris and Amsterdam Jewelers
fixed the weight at 206 milIgrams
(3.163 troy grains). The
joath African oarat is said to equal
1.174 grains. The fitness of gold is
neasured by a ratio with 24 carats
is a standard; thus two parts of alloy
sake it 22-earat gold, and so on.

north and east. In the latter sector j
the Russians have advanced from in
torior Persia to the frontier and have'
occupied Nasr-i-Shirin, about 110
miles northeast of Bagdad, their objective.
They report the Turks fleeing
before them and the capture of
several guns during the pursuit.
Constantinople reports that in the
Caucasus region around Mount Kope
the Turks in attack drove out the
Russians from positions about 9 1-2
miles in extent and forced them to
retreat eastward and likewise to I
the southeast of Mamnhainn ?? ? *k~I
Russians to flight.
The Germans who were defeated
recently in the Kondoa Irangi district
of East Africa have been reinforced
and are advancing on the British
. A dispatch from the British
commander, however, says his troops
are quite sufficient to deal with the
Germans.
The British government will permit,
under certain stipulations, the
feeding of the civil population of
Poland by an American commission.
