A RECIPROCAL AGREEMENT.
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.

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

with thc help Ol' tho United States,"
said Cen. Gabriel G av Ira to-night,
commanding the Carranza forces at
.Ina roz.
Villa Girdled hy His Foes.
Kl Faso. Texas, March 14.- Fran
cisco Villa, hoad Rig south from Ga

troops, according to advices from
Cen. Luis Gutierrez, < ommnndcr-lii
ehlef of Chihuahua, to-day. With
15,000 men in Chihuahua and heavy
reinforcements on their way he
thinks Villa has small chance to es
cape.
Cen. Gutierrez arrived in Juarez
early in Hie dtay and later conferred
with Gen. Gavlra, tho local comman
dant, and Consul Garcia lu Fl Paso.
Afterwards Gen. Gutierrez stated
that beatties tho trooiw holding points
and maintaining patrols five columns
of 1,200 men each aro closing up on

commands of Gutierrez himself and
Gens. Lui? Herrera, Rafael Maldo
