SET OUT, SAYS CARRANZA AMERICAN TROOPS MAY MEET RESISTANCE. But There is No Likelihood of Mexican Demand Meeting With Success at Wasliington. : .. Washington, May 31.?Gen. Carranza's latest note, bluntly questioning the good faith of the United States government, and with a threat of armed resistance, demanding withdrawal of American troops from Mexico, was presented at the State dek-. * A Jviipoa A i-vorlr?nHn part men i luuit v u > quocu the Mexican ambassador designate. Tonight a translation of the voluminous document, about 12,000 words long, was laid before President Wilson, who at once began considering how it should be answered. No one in official circles would attempt to forecast just what course the president might decide upon. There was complete unanimity, how ever, in the belief that there would he no immediate withdrawal of the Pbrshing expedition. High officials said the de facto government so far had utterly failed to demonstrate its ability to protect the border against bandits, and expressed the opinion that the troops would stay in Mexi;?n; co until this was done. It was sug? gested that the belligerent and un pY compromising attitude assumed Dy Carranza probably was largely for ifcvk\ . effect upon the Mexican public and there was little disposition that the de facto government actually contempt . plated an effort to expel the Amerii|f.. . can army by force. Not at Their Face Value. I/-- Mr. Arredondo left the impression t-< that his chief did not expect the defiant words of the note to be taken at ^ their face value, wrhen, on handing the communication to* Acting Secretary Polk he gave notice that it was not intended as an ultimatum, but as a continuation of the negotiations ; which have been in progress between the two governments. The new note, written before the withdrawal of the Langhorne-Sibley expedition, which entered Mexico af. ter the Boquillas raid,* was brought ? to Washington Monday . by Manuel Mendez, an attache of the Mexican foreign office. Word of its coming I had been received last weeK, dui on v; Mendez's arrival he insisted that he knew nothing of a note and merely " was in the United States on a vacation. Arredondo said late last night that he had heard nothing of a note. Today it was explained that Men dez loft Mexico City with strict, instructions to keep the purpose of. his visit secret, even from the -embassy here, until he had communicated with - the foreign office on reaching Washington. His orders to give the communication to the ambassador designate for presentation to the State department, it was said, did not arrive until about midnight last night. challenge not accepted.

Mr. Dial has given out the follow| "To the press: ."Senator McLaurin and some of his friends seem to think he should ^ have an opportunity to explain the present warehouse system and his management thereof to the public. In answer to this it could be said that the law establishing the warehouse if' is already in existence and he has been elected manager for a two years' term.

"I am therefore willing to join in a movement whereby the facts can > be brought before the people, and to this end I would suggest that Senator McLaurin and I have one meeting in each congressional district. We could get the county chairman in some centrally located county to call a meeting at some time to be agreed upon. "I am strongly of the opinion that a large majority of the people of our State favor a warehouse system properly organized, properly and economically managed. At the same time I am satisfied they do not approve or the present makeshift of a warehouse system nor the way it is managed. "If the above suggestion meets ^with the senator's approval, it will afford me pleasure to discuss the mat?* ? ter with him." ? "Can't Perskins support his wife?"

Washington, June 1.?News print paper made from hitherto unused woods, under direction of the forest service laboratories, has been successfully tried by two large newspapers and in all eleven kinds of wood never used before have given premise of being suitable. A number of others have been found suitable for manila paper and box cards. This announcement was made today by the forest service, which has made seventy samples of paper by different processes from practically unused woods in its search for a substitute for the fast diminishing supply of pulp wood. The announcement says that if the Drice of news print paper is to be kept at a reasonable figure more efficient methods of converting spruce into pulp must be developed or cheaper woods must be substituted. SUPPLIES FOR"MILLION MEN. What Would Be Required if United States Had Such an Army. What does an army of a million mean? One million men marching four abreast would extend over a line 400 miles long, practically from Kansas City to the Colorado border. Some of the things that these million men must be provided with before they can fight are: 750,000 rifles and bayonets for them to fight with. 265,000 pistols, little brothers of rifles. 8,000 machine guns, the military scythe. 2,100 field guns to batter down attack. 165,000,000 cartridges to carry them into their first battle, and as many more for each succeeding fight. 2,500;000 shells and shrapnel for our field guns for every hour they are in action. 196,000 horses to carry them and pull their gun carriages. 197 AAA milloc haul thoir <snn 1 M I ,VV V JLliUAVO VV uv? V4A VMVA* plies and pack their guns. 8,000 wagons to transport their supplies and ammunition. 1,000,000 cartridge belts for their ammunition. 1,000,000 first-aid packets to bind up their wounds. 1,500,000 pouches to keep them dry. 1,000,000 canteens. Each of them must have uniform and equipment: 1,000,000 shelter halves to protect them from the weather. 2,000,000 blankets to keep them warm. 2,000,000 pairs of shoes. 2,000,000 uniform coats, breeches, leggins, suits of underwear. 1,000,000 hats. 2,000,000 shirts. 4,000,000 pairs of socks. 1,000,000 haversacks. Finally they must eat: 1,000,000 pounds of meat each day. 100,000 pounds of bread each day. 2,000,000 pounds of vegetables each day. 3,000,000 pints of coffee or tea each day. All this must be purchased, transported, prepared and cooked each day and to eat it they must have: 1,000,000 cups. 1.000,000 plates. 1,000,000 knives. 1,000,000 forks. 1,000,000 spoons. v To provide for proper care, training and lead in battle they should have: 25,000 trained officers. The calling into service of 1,000,000 men would mean the organization, equipment and training of ten armies the size of the present time. If 1,000,000 men should apply at the recruiting offices, it would require the uninterrupted effort of 1,000 recruiting parties working night and day for more than ten days to enroll and enlist them. It would require a week to move them to the camps, provided all the suitable railroad equipment of the country were given over to this work alone. One thousand men would have to work day and night for ten days to erect the tents for them, and when completed this camp would amount to a city of more than 120,000 tents, covering an area of more than 8,000 acres?an area equal to the size of St. Joseph.?Kansas City Journal. One Brother Killed, Other Hurt. Sumter, June 2.?The ten-year-old son of Warren Burgess, was struck and killed by a falling tree in the Jordan neighborhood on Wednesday afternoon, and his eight-year-old brother was-badly injured. James Bryan was cutting down a tree when the children came out in the woods to him. He told them to go back home and thought they had gone, when the tree fell, but found upon their outcry that they had been playins: in a nearby branch and the tree J had fallen on them. | FORTUNE UNDER COBWEBS. Collection of Gold Coins, Watches and Medals in Old Trunk. Families have come and gone from the three-story one-family house at 68 North Prince street, Flushing, during the last twenty years, but an oldfashioned trunk, covered with dust and cobwebs, has stood in the corner of the cellar untouched. The house, which is owned by the John J. Halleran estate, is being renovated for a new tenant. Yesterday workmen stumbled over the trunk. It took six men to move it. Prying open the lid, they found handfuls of gold coins, fifty gold watches, gold and silver watches from all parts of the world, medals from the new and old world, medals inscribed to George Washington, Commodore Perry and Maj. Gen. Zachary Taylor, a porcelain watch presented to George Washington when president and a colonial deed to 1,500,000 acres of Georgia land. "Father was a collector of antiques," said Lawrence D. Halleran, who manages the estate, "but we never dreamed he had a treasure chest." The collection is valued at $7,000. Halleran died in the house in 1898. RILEY & COPELANDl Successors to W. P.
