THE OWL T'LEFT-BmilXD iin. -
Tho- hour was sad, I left the maid,
A llno'riifo farewell taking,
tTor aighs and tears my steps delayed,
1 thought her heart was breaking;
In hurried words her name 1 .litest,
1 breathed the vows that bind me,
And to my heart in anguish pressed
The girl I left behind me.
Then to the South we lore away,
To win a name in atorVi
And there, where dawns the sun of day.
There dawned our sun of glory;
Both biased in noon on Richmond's height,
Where in the post assigned me
I shared the glory of that fight,
Sweet girl I left behind me.
The hope of final victory
Within my bosom burning
Is mingling with sweet thoughts of thee
And of my fond returning;
But should I ne'er return again,
Still worth thy love thou'lt find me,
Dishonor's breath shall never stain
The name I'll leave behind me.
Full many a name our 6mtier bore
Of former deeds of daring.
But they wero of tho days of yore,
In which we had no sharing;
But now, our laurels freshly won,
With the old ones shall entwined be,
Still worthy of our sires each son,
Sweet girl I left behind me.

" CHIHUAHUA CITY, Mex., June 24.
"Mexico is a civilized country and will
wage war in a civilized manner."
General Jacinto B. Trevino, Carranza
commander at Chihuahua City, made
this assertion todny in denying reports
spread broadcast in the United States
that American prisoners taken in the
battle at Carrizal had been hanged.
"The prisoners have not been hanged,
nor will they be," he said. "That is not
the custom of a civilized country."
By JOHN EDWIN NEVIN
WASHINGTON, Juno 24. The war
spirit ran high In the nation's cnpltnl to
day. News of tho ambushing nnd virtual
massacre of Troops C and K, of tho 10th
United States Cavalry, has aroused official
dom to a pitch unknown since tho battle
ship Maine was destroyed In Havana har
bor. On all sides a demand for Bpeedy re
prisals was voiced, and the Administration
has set moving the machinery that may
bring a completo break with Mexico by the
middle of next week.
The drat action was to demand through
Consul General Rodgers nt Mexico City tho
release forthwith of tho American troopers
taken prisoners in the fighting at Carrizal,
the exact number of whom is not officially
known.
Tho second was to decide that any ofTer
of mediation that may be made on behalf
of the Latin-American nations must be re
jected by the United States. The questions
at Issue now are questions of national honor,
affecting the lives of Americans, the Inva
slon of American territory and outrages
upon American property. None of these are
matters that can bo submitted to mediation
In tho opinion of President Wilson and his
advisers.
MOMENTOUS CONFERENCE.
These decisions were reached at a confer
ence that lasted more than an hour, partic
ipated In by President Wilson, Secretary of
atate wwslng and Secretary of War Baker,
At the same time a general plan to be fol
lowed was considered, but was not adopted
pending the receipt of additional reports
from General Pershing and officers who
actually participated In the Carrizal mas
sacre. It has been definitely determined to hold
General Carranza responsible for the at
tack upon the Americans at Carrizal. He
will be called sharply to account as soon
as the complete report of what transpired
at that place Is at hand, and will be
ordered to punish all responsible officials
Immediately.
No satisfaction la expected at the hands
of tho Frist Chief and his associates, and
the program for the further course of
action Is being worked out In the several
departments. But that the State Depart
ment is holding back on certain portions of
Its program developed when It was learned
that Secretary Lansing had been Inquiring
anxiously when the National Guard would
be ready for service. The answer came at
noon today, when Secretary of War Baker,
following a. conference with General Mills,
chief of the militia division, sent word to
