President Wilson Accede? to Curran? sen's Request.-No Intervention. Washington, March 13.-The Uni ted Slates government entered into a ronna 1 agreement Wiitin, the de facto gevernment of Mexico to-day, under which American trooi>s will cross the border to hunt down Villa and his bandits with the expectation ot hearty co-operation from tho Carran za forces. Secrelray Lansing made public the text of a note accepting Gen. Car run/.a's proposal for a reciprocal ar rangement between the two govern ments and announcing that the Uni ted States hold this arrangement to bo now in force and binding upon both parlies. Cen. Funston will carry out bis task under this agree ment. Official announcement was awniled to-night that the American force had crossed the border. Flans for the troop movements have gone ahead without regard to the diplomatic ex changes. Fledges No Intervention. Mr. I auffing also made a public statement, '<?suod in tho name of President Wilson, reiterating that every step being taken by tho admin istra toln was based on the deliberate intention to preclude tile possibility of armed intervention in Mexico. The statement follows: '*ln order to remove any misappre hension that may exist either in the United States or in Mexico, the Pres ident has au'tlhorlsted me to give in Iris name the public assurance that the military operations now in contem plation by this govonvment will he scrupulously confined to ?be object already announced, and that in no el rc um sta noes will they be suffered to Infringe in any degree upon the sovereignty of Mexico or develop Into intel >*enMon of any kind In the inter nal affair; of our sister republic. "On the contrary, what is now be ing done ls deliberately intended to preclude the possibility of interven tion." Terms in Agreement. The note to Carranza dennes the terms of tho agreement beyond tho possibility of misconstruction. It pro vides that whero conditions arise on t'bo American side of thc border sim ilar to those at Columbus, which led to Uho orders to Cen. Funs to ll to en ter Mexico, the same privilege will be accorded to the'Mexican do facto gov ernment without the necessity of a further exchange of view?,. lt is clearly stated, however, that the bandits to bo pursued on American soil by Mexican troops must have como from (ho American side, com mitted depredations on tho Mexican side and Mod back again to United States .territory. There is no such instance on record in recent years. Local News from Westminster. Westminster, March IL-Special: Mrs. Hurt L.

MATTERS AT CLEMSON COLLEGE. S. G. SUrlbling Will Represent Col lege in State Oratorical Contest. Clemson College, March Cl.- Spe cial: In tho preliminary oratorical contest held here last Thursday night one of Ocoueo's sous, Stiles C. St rib ling, ol' Richland, was chosen to rep resent Clemson College in tho State intercollegiate oratorical contest, which will be held in Greenwood on the third Friday night In April. There were six contestants, and the commit tee ot' judges, which included Dr, Higgs and live of the professors of the college, decided that Mr. Stribling de served first place and that .1 S. Wat it ins. of Columbia, won second place, or the alternate's place. For the past four veal's Mr. Stribling has boen ac tively engaged in literary society work here and has won various hon ors as a declalmer, a debater and as an orator. The subject of his oration is "The Danger of Indifference in Our Nation." In accordance with the rules his speech is entirely original, and lt discloses the dangers of the growing indifference of our people to home life, to the opportunities offer ed to college students, to the. respon sibilities of voting, and to the sacred things of life. Resides the honor of representing tho college, each year the winner of this honor ls wairaded a handsome gold medal by the college, to stimu late interest in this phase ol' college lifo. Literary society work is entire ly voluntary here, for this is primar ily an agricultural college. However, the work is encouraged in every pos sible way, and there aro six literary societies here now, which meet every Friday night and engage in extra lit erary work. The State Inter-Collegiate Oratori cal Association is composed of the male white colleges ill South Caro lina, each college sending one speaker to the annual contest aird one execu tive committeeman to all the meet ings. The president of the associa tion is chosen from these, the honor being held one year by each college. Clemson's conriultteenvan, H. S. Mc Keown, is president tili? year. Clem son always sends a good speaker to the contest, but one of the colleges that lay more stress on literary work usually wins. The University has won more tinnes probably than any other college. Clemson has won Brat In one or two contests, and this year we feel sure that our reputation will not be adversely affected, but that it will be benefited, for lt is not impossible for us to win this year. The second terni of the session of 1915-16 will close Friday. March 17, at noon. Saturday is a legal holiday, being Calhoun's birthday, and to en able as many boys as possible to go home for a ?(hort time between terms, tho last examinations will be held Friday morning and the cadets will bo allowed to leave at \2 o'clock. This terni has been a successful as well as a busy one for all. With bas ket ball, class foot ball, base ball and track practice to attract attention in the pretty weather, and the swim ming pool, 'pool tables and cafeteria open in the Y. M. C. A. building in all kinds of weather, the cadets have had ample opportunity to seek diver sion and recreation during their leis ure hours. Also during the terni Dient, lt A. .Iones, of the IJ. S. Army, .arrived to be commandant of cadets and teacher ol' military science and tactics. Ile took the place vacated by Col. .1. M. Cunvmins, whose leave of absence from the army had ox piied. Col. Cummins left here a few days after the airrlval of Lieut. Jones and turned tho affairs over to him. Col. .Iones is a West Pointer and has been in active service since gradua tion. Although his position causes him lo be somewhat unpopular, or disliked by a number of tho boys here, he seems to have made a good impression upon the majority of tho students. The. annual week's encampment is being>much talked of now. but no of ficial announcements have been made fun her than that there would be no encampment in Mairch, between the second and third tennis, as was the case last year. Tho weather is usu ally so severe nt this time of the year that a nunn ber of complaints were made about last year's encamp ment in Anderson. Doubtless a num ber did suffer from 'tho cold while there, and to avoid any such compli cations again Dr. Riggs announced recently that no deft I) I le arrange ments had been made as yet in re gard to an encampment, but that if one was held it would not be before tho latter part ol' April or tho early port of May. encircling Villa Forces. Fl Faso. Texas, March l-l.-"I hope that we shall take Villa soon with thc help Ol' tho United States," said Cen. Gabriel G av Ira to-night, commanding the Carranza forces at .Ina roz.
