CARRANZA REPLIES WITH MILD ANSWER JADES QUERRY AS TO BIS IN ' TENTIONS TO OUR SOLDIERS DANGER OF WAR BEMOVED \ ? First Chief Says W ithdrawal of Troops and Adequate Protection of i Border By His Soldiers Will Create \ Good Understanding ? Offers to Do His Part To Keep Peace. General Carranea's reply to the two l |notes sent him by the United States government was delivered to the state department early Wednesday by | & Mexican embassy attache As soon as a translation of the Spanish text could bo made It was ! sent to the White House. Until Sec | retary Lansing and President Wilson hav% had an opportunity to confer | there will be no formal comment, but some state department officials did not attempt to conceal the fact tliat they considered the note most saJitis i factory and likely to remove all dan ger of war. The reply of the do facto govern ment of Mexico to the demands of the United States, conciliatory In terms and giving assurances of a desire to reach a friendly adjustment '?of the difficulties between the two countries, was delivered to the state department by a Mexican embassy attache. The text of the noto follows: "Washington, D. C., July 4, 1916. "Mr. Secretary: I have the honor to transmit in continuation the text of a note I have just received from my government with instructions to present it to your excellency: " 'Mr. Secretary: Referring to the notes of June 20 and 25 last, I have the honor to say to your excelloncy that the immediate release of the Carrizal prisoners was a further proof of the sincerity of the desires of this government to reach a pacific and satisfactory arrangement of pres ent difficulties. This government Is Anxious to solve the pres tnoocn and it would be unjust if its attitude wore misinterpreted. " 'It web also the Mexican govern ment that earnestly suggested a plan for cantonments along the boundary line during the conferences of Cludad Juarez and El Paso. This govern ment is disposed now, as it has al ways been, to seek an immediate so lution of the two points which con stitute the true causes of conflict bo tween the two countrios, to wit: The American government believes reasonably that the Insecurity of its frontier is a source of difficulty and the Mexican government on its part believes that the stay of American troops on Mexican territory, aside from being a troapaiu on tho novar elgnty of Mexico, io the immediate cause of the conflicts. "Therefore, the withdrawal of Am erican troops, on one hand, and the protection or the frontier, on the other, are the two essential prob lems, the solution of which must be the directing object of the efforts of b$th governments. " 'Thp Mexican government is will ing to consider In a quick and prac tical way and prompted by a spirit of concord the remedies which should be applied to the present situation. 'Several Latin- American coun tries have offered tholr friendly med iation to the Mexican government and tho latter has accepted in principle, Therefore, tho Mexican government only awaits information that tho gov ernment of tho United State3 would te disposed to aceopt this mediation for the purpose mentioned above or whether above or whether it is still of tho belief that the samo results may be attained by moans of direct negotiations between both govern ments. . . " 'In the meantime thin govern ment promises to employ nil efforts (hat may he at Its disposal to avoid the recurrence of new incidents which may complicate and Aggravate the situation. At tho samo time it hopes that the American government, on its part, may make use of all efforts to prevent nlso now acts of its mili tary and civil authoritien on the fron tier that might cause now complica tions. " 'I avail myself of this opportun ity to reltornte to your excolloncy tho assurance of my most distinguished consideration. (Signed) " ?C\ Agullar.' "Having thus complied with high er instructions of my government, it affords mo pleasure to reitorato to your excellency tho assurances of my hlghost consideration (Signed) "10. Arredondo."

Monitions and Inheritance Taxee Are Imposed. Croation of non-par'.lsan tariff commission of six momberB with broad Inquisitorial powors is propos ed in the general revenue bill intro duced by Democratic Loader Kltchln of the house. The bill, tho fruit of many confer ences of Democratic members of the ways and means committee and dis cussion with administration officials, contemplates raising between $210, 000,000 and $225,000,000 addi tional revenue by reclassification of the surtax on incomes, a tax on es tates and on war munitions plants. The bill will be rushed through the house under a special rule for a vote Saturday night. The proposed tariff commission would be empowered to investigate operation of the customs laws, in cluding their relation to the federal revenue, and to put its information at the disposal of the president and congressional committees. Tariff re lations with foreign countries and inatterB affecting competition also would be subjects of inquiry. Ample powers to enforce its sub poenas and orders aro provided through machinery of tho courts. Tho income tax section of the bill Increases the normal tax on every individual and corporation to 2 per cent instead of the present 1 ; does not lower the $3,000-$4,000 mini mum exemption limit but reclassifies and gradually increases t lie surtax from 1 per cent on incomes of $20, 000-$40,000 to 10 per cent on mil above $500,000. The administrative provisions follow generally those of existing law. The new rates aro ap plicable to the present year. Tho new munitions tax imposes this schedule of percentages of the gross annual receipts of manufac turers : Every person manufacturing gun powder and o'.her exploBiveB, 5 per cent on receipts under $1,000,000 and 3 per cent on all abovo that amount; manufacturers of cartridges, projectiles, firearms or their parts, 2 per cont on gross receipts up to $250, 000, 3 per cent on receipts up to $250,000-$500,000 ; 4 per cent, $500,000-$1,000,000 ; exceeding $1, 000,000, 5 per cent; copper smelting, refining or alloying, on gross re ceipts, 1 per cent betweon $250,000 $1,000,000; $1,000,000-$10,000.000, 2 per cent; exceeding $10,000,000, 3 per ccnt. Tho inheritance tax would be 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 per cent, respec tively, on estates worth $50,000 to $1 00,000; $100,000 to $200,000; $200,000 to $300,000; $300,000 to $500,000 r.nd over $500,000 MUCH NEW LEGISLATION PLANNED BY DEMOCRATS Summary of Bills to Bo Acted Upon In Order to Get Needed Revenue In Treasury.

The bill aB framed by tho Democratic members of the committee make no provision to meet the extroardinary' expendi due to tho Mexican situation. These will be met by a bond issue. Tho principal provisions are: A protective tariff schedule on coal tar products, particularly dye stuffs designed to tho building up of an American Industry in compe tition with tho Gorman chemical and dyestuff combine. This schedule will now automati cally expire if tho new industry doos not grow promptly.

J THE FURY OF WAR (Continued From Pago One). BrttlBh gunfire. Some of the officers, it seems from what the prisoners told me, went away to ContalmalBan, saying that they were going to bring up reserves, but they did not come back. The other men, about 250 of them were staying In the dugouts without food and water while the British shellB made fury above them and smashed up the ground. They had a doctor there, a giant of a man with a great heart, who had put his first dressing station in the Becond line trench ana attended the wounds of the men until the bombardment in tensified so that no man could live there. He took the wounded down to the dugout ? those who had not been carried back ? and stayed there, expecting death. i spoke also with a little group of officers. They were young men of the aristocratic type. They spoke very frankly, and acknowledged the new power of the British artillery and the courage of the British sol diers, which was not new to them. It was here that I had a talk with a German medical officer whom 1 had btcn walking down between two guards close to Fricourt. After de scribing his own experience during the bombardment this morning he laughed in a sad way. "This war," he said. "We go on killing each other to no purpose. Europe is being bled to death, and will be impoverished for long years. It Is a war against religion and againBt civilization, and I see no end to it. Germany is strong and Eng land is strong and France is Btrong. It is impossible for one side to crush the other, so when is the end to come?" Because of his services to the Brit ish soldiers he had received special privilege. A little apart from all his fellow-officers stood a German Lieu tenant Colonel who was charged with having killed two British officers by bombing them after his surrender. A tall gloomy man he stood awaiting an inquiry, and I could not hope that he was not guilty of such a crime. From personal observation I knew nothing of what happened elsewhere in the line, but I have heard the story of the attack on the Gomme court salient, which shows that this action was one of the most heroic things in British history. The Ger mans had concentrated a great mass of guns hero in the !>elief that the main attack was to extend from Lille to Koyo. The existence ot this belief has been proved by German o*-ders which have come into our hands. As soon as the British left their trenches after the bombardment the enemy barraged the British front and support trenches with an infernal flre. The British advanced through this barrage as if on parade, and in tplio of the heavy losses made their way over 500 yards of no man's land to the Germans' frc nt line. The German soldiers also behaved with great courage. They carried their machine guns nigh the British barrage until they faced the Brltlih in the open and swept them with fire so that largo numbers fell. The attack dif' not su-tccd lr tli's part of the line, but It d^w the Gor man reserves, and great honor in due to the valor of those who fought as heroes. It Is a story that must be told as one of the most glorious acts of self-sacrifice ever made by British troops. BIG SUM IS TO BE SPENT BY NATION DURING YEAR Expenditures to Exceed Over $1,500, 000 of Which Half Billion Is For Defense. Congress is preparing to complete its programme of financial prepared noss with every indication that ap propriations this session will aggro gate considerably more than $1,500, 01)0,000. at least $.'>00,000,000 of which will be for national defense. According to statements based on figures compiled by Chairman Fitz gerald of the houso appropriations committee ?.nd increases put into pending measures by senate commit tees, tho grnnd appropriation total may reach $1,650,000,000, exceed ing by more than $500,000,000 the record of any previous congross in tho nation's history. Last week Representative Fitzger ald submitted a statement to the house showing that tho grand total for tho present congress, based on bills passed and pending, would roach nearly $1,500,000,000. Since then the senate naval committee has added nearly $50,000,000 to the naval bill and the military commit t;'o has increased tho $182,000,000 army appropriation measure by ap proximately $100,000,000. Tho principal appropriation meas ures awaiting nenato consideration are the army and navy $315,826,843, respectively, and together with the fortifications bill, which h .s pp.ssed both houses, would appropriate for national defense inoro than $022, 000,000. There is every Indication that the senate will accept at least the major part of the proposed army and nrvy increase. t. h*it conferences probably will pare them down. What ever happens, however, leaders of hot li houses agree th"t tho total of ipproprlatlons will break all record:*. The r.enato plans to tako up the '?val bill as soon as the agricultural 1 is out of the way probably with i few days.

No Submarine Revivals, but Officials Are Hoping That Wilson Will Take a Hand In Obtaining Neutral's Rights. With the military events at all fronts hastening toward a climax, all signs Indicate that simultan eously the Allies' great general economic offensive against tho Central Powers has begun. Spe cifically, a food tight to a finish has started through a sharpened British blockade, reinforced by oconondc political pressure against nearby neutrals. Thus ,the Berlin Tageblatt says: "It means a sharpened war against the civil population after tho pros pects of victory over our soldiers had disappeared. It Is possible that we Bhall in many ways feel the effects of a sharpened blockade, though how far the law of the sea Is subject to Britain's tender mercies, to which all the signatories of the London declar ation are invited to bow down, will work out in practice is ; nother mat ter. "England may attempt to declare everything contraband that floats on the high seas toward Germany's neighboring shores. It may under take to make a rationlzatlon of the population of Holland, Sweden and other countries still sharper, to in- 1 troduce a blockadc of neutrala, au the latest discovery of British civili zation, into International law, and to make of Holland a second Greece. We can quietly wait and see what economic and political conse quence such policy will have now and in future. It may bring us moral advantages that may outweigh tho harm that ctill can result to us." But It Is not so much tho Paris conference and the abrogation of the London declaration as private reports pouring In from Holland, tho Scandinavian countries, and Switzerland and Rumania, which have brought home to the Ger mans the fact that the economio and particularly the food war has entered a new stage. Trustworthy confidential reports Indicate that the British Government has already begun negotiations with tho representatives of nearby neutral States with the object of bringing about a cessation of all exports on tho part of these neutrals to Ger many. England 1s reported to be offering compensation by agreeing to buy for Its own account and that of its Allies the neutral surplus har vests, and in goneral all goods that would normally be exported to Ger many. An Amsterdam report says further that reprisals are held in prospect in case the neutrals Co not accept these conditions. There is a persistent re port, too, that Italy is being urged by the Allies to abrogate her com mercial treaties with Germany. This indicates efforts to make this eco nomic offensive general. Momentar ily Switzerland is the most interest ing theatre of the economic war. That Germany will not look on quietly while these convenient open neutral back doors and side doors are being slammed and bolted by the Allies is a truism. The only doubt Is what countermeasures Germany will try against England. It. can bo stated with reasonable certainty that there Is no possibility of a submarine revival in the imme diate future, despite the very live and well-organ i/.ed subterranean agita tion that continues. After tho noisy but meaningless political quarrels and party controversies of the Inst few weeks, and the attacks of no deep significance on the Chancellor, the parties and factions are on the eve of a love feast and there is a strong tendency for everybody to get behind tho Chancollor during the coming critical months of tho war. Tho Chancellor t>elng now stronger than ever before, the hope has not Ihtii entirely given up in official quarters that tho Ameri can Government, will yet take ef fective action against, what are re garded as England's increasing violations of international law, and tho possibility Is at least being t-aken into account in high places that President Wilson may again sel/.o tho opportunity to play tho role of tho champion of the rights of the small neutrals. Germany's countermeasnres against tho sharpened blockade for tlio pres ent, therefore, may bo exported to take I lie form of economic: counter presBure, probably through threaten ed embargos on coal, Iron and other raw materials and manufactured goods needed by the neutrals. The effectiveness of there new defensive tactics is being watched with the llvest interest In the case of Switzer land, Germany's next move depend ing on tho success or failure of tho present Swiss negotiations with the French Government. It seems certain that Germany, which has been sending coal and iron to Switzerland unconditionally and other goods on a trade basis, will now insist that Switzerland car ry out her share of the bargain by reciprocally releasing goods of equal value, desired l?y G'Ttinnv, despite the French economic pressure. Of equal Interest is the fight for Holland's surplus food The increas Ing pressure of Kngland is already seen here In Holland's embargo on fish and potatoes. It Is said and be llevod that Kngland has unofficially sounded Holland regarding a com plete interdiction of all food exports to Germany, demanding that Hol land'^ surplus food be exported ex clusively to Kngland and her allien. Holland Is also to bind herself not to send goods to Switzerland or l,uxom l?urg via Germany, except, In tho case of Luxemburg, with the express con sent. of Kngland, while goods for Switzerland woro to go via France. How far Holland will give in to these alleged English demands la tho sub ject of interested speculation hero.
