Columbus Believes Orders Will
Be Issued Soon No Excuse
Seen for Troops Below
Line Now
GUARDSMEN ON DUTY
COLUMBUS, M M., July B Among mlt
Warj men here today the feeling' Is growing
that Orders tvlll be given In n. unort time
for the withdrawal of tho Atnerlcan expedi
tion from Mexico, provided Carranta makes
Ha hostile move.
However, no step which coutd be Inter
preted s preliminary to withdrawal has
been taken from appearances at this base.
Tho roads along the expedition's communi
cation lines still are belnc repaired and
supplies are piling up In the American
eamps.
Unofficial Information reaching hero Is to
the effect that Qenerat Pershing personally
favors withdrawal If there Is to be no In
tervention, Establishment of heavy border
Rarrlaons and patrols to guard against
bandit raids probabty would follow retire
ment from Mexico. In this connection It
Is said that the mllltta probably would bo
held on the border Indefinitely.
A high authority In camp hero pointed out
today that tho continued presenco of tho
United States troops In tho present position
In Mexico had little Justification.
"From any viewpoint we have not a
leg to stand on unless intervention Is
Intended," ho said.
"Tho avowed object of tho expedition hns
been abandoned. The troops tiro doing no
Rood, either in protecting American citizens
or protecting the border from raids. Their
position now Is a thorn In the sldo of the
Carranza Government"
The western Massachusetts militiamen
stationed In Columbus nre to bo put
through a strict course of training begin
ning today. The Fourth was a day of com
plete rest for tho national guardsmen.
Cracker box writing desks were at a pre
mium and hundreds of letters went forward
to the folks back homo.
The health of the guardsman contingent
here Is considered remarkablo Not a
single case of serious Illness has developed
to far In Columbus. A case of smallpox
In the Second Connecticut Infantry, at Ne
gates, la reported.

KINE DRIVEN FROM HOMES
BY FIRECRACKER BLAZE
Occupants of Three-Story Building
Escape Roman Candle Causes Trouble
Nine persons were driven from their beds
to the street at 3:15 'clock this morning
by Are, which started In the cellar of a
three-story building at 710 Falrmount ave
nue. The blaze Is believed to have been
started by firecrackers thrown Into tho
cellar by boys.
On the first floor of the building Is a
grocery store owned by Morris Barag. He
and his wife were among tho occupants of
the second story. Other occupants were Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph Bltner, Sam Muscovitz,
Mrs. Sarah Llbby and her three daughters.
Persons outside saw tho smoke coming
from the cellar, but all efforts to arouso the
endangered persons failed until some one
thought of throwing a stone through a win
dow of the Barag apartments. The blaze
did about 400 damage.
Sparks from a Roman candle are believed
to have caused a fire which destroyed a
clotheapress on the roof of a building at
1129 Columbia avenue. A restaurant Is
conducted in the iHace by 13. IC Springer.
The damage was nominal.
EIGHT DEAD, 100 INJURED

CHICAGO, July 5. Reports received by
The Tribune from over the entlro country
early today show eight deaths and 190
persona Injured as tho toll of the Fourth of
July celebration, as compared with 19
killed and 903 Injured In 1915.
For IT years The Tribune has collected
reports of the casualties throughout the
country on Independence Day for the pur
pose of directing public attention to what
was In the beginning of this period no le3s
than a national shame.
In the last half dozen years reports have
Bhown these casualties on tho decline, and
this year has seen them reduced to a mini
mum. The year 1915 produced a setback in the
steady decline In casualties, due probably
to the fact that there was virtually a double
celebration, the Fourth falling on Sunday,
and the legal holiday on Monday,
Here are the deaths for the last eight

"Tho Pennslvanla Railroad did not pro

THRONGS OF PATRIOTIC CITIZENS
OBSERVE CITY'S SANEST FOURTH
Preparedness and Americanism Dwelt Upon in Principal
Celebration, Held in Historic Independence Square. .
U. S. Must Have War With Mexico, Says Fess
Wlth nn Intensely patriotic celebration at
Independence Square where noted speakers
urged the necessity of Immediate pre
paredness and neighborhood celebrations
In nil purtB of the city. Philadelphia yes
terday spent Its "safest and sanest" Fourth
of July.
Fully 10,000 persons participated In the
municipal celebration held In Independence
Square In the morning. Mayor Smith and
two Congrensmen, Fess, of Ohio, and Scott,
of this city? delivered addresses, and Mrs.
Clara Drlscoll SaWor. of Texas, wna the
central flcure In a pretty ceremony, when
she presented the Hag of the Lono Star
State to the city of Philadelphia.
Klsewhero throughout the city more than
100 community parades and celebrations
woro held during the afternoon, and at night
supervised displays of fireworks were held
at many places.
Patriotism and preparedness had full
sway nt the Independence Square celebra
tion. The school children, general public
and city cfnclals stood sllentl? whllo the
bell of tho State House boomed forth -18
times In recognition of each of the iS States
In the Union, rose to their feet three times
and spontaneously sang patriotic songs and
cheered the speakers, who urged prepared
ness. Congressman Foss, who represents tho
7th Ohio District In the lower house of
Co'ngress, came out flatfooted In a declara
tion that the United States and Mexico must
go to war. Tho Monroe. Doctrine, he de
clared, forces this country to go to war.
"We have started Into Mexico," he said,
"and wo can't come out under fire; the
colors can't come back with dishonor. But
K the army should come out. then after the
great European war wa will have. Instead
of a Mexican problem, a European problem
on our hands. Because France, England.
Germany, all of them, are going ta demand
that we go there and clean up the country
or step aside and give them the task."
Early In Mr. Fess' remarks he referred
to the Declaration of Independence as an
announcement, and the Constitution of the
United States as a performance. "And
both being products of the city of Phil
adelphia," he (atd, "they Indeed are suffi
cient to make your city famous."
He compared tha declaration, as an In
strument of civil liberty, with the Ten Com
mandments as an Instrument of religious
liberty. He stroked the British lion the
right way of the fur by declaring that the
declaration was an Indictment, not against
the British people, but against the igno
rance, brutality and pig-headed ness of tbe
Bngllsh king.
Ileferrlng to that sentence In the declara
tion which asserts the principle that all
men aro equal, he exclaimed : "How would
that have sounded In enslaved Greece, In
militaristic Home, or In feudal Europe.?"
Speaking of preparedness, he. quoted, a
conversation he had the other day with the
majority leader. Mr Kltctsln. It ran this
way. said the Congressman:
" 'Claude, I expected you to say after the
Carrixal incident that .you would give Car
ranza. H hours to deliver tnose soldiers
serosa tbe border, or we'll se$d tbe army
down there after them."
To which Kltchln replied I 'My good

"Good-by, good-by, good-by," shouted

lute was "God be with you." That was be

cumbersome.
At tho wnysldo stations where Uncle

"Don't get chummy with n Mcx," a tall
rancher said "It might have been nil
right before this trouble. But not now."
And they also told nt Murphv probably
a German settlement how at Denlson tho
day before a national guardsmnn hnd shot
a Mexican railroad hand from a conch.
This Information wns not volunteered. It
was wormed from a tall rancher nfter he
had discussed tho crop3, tho weather, tho
presidential raco, tho cllmato In Phila
delphia, tho best time of year to lBlt In
dependence Hall and tho number of troops
on tho border. It wan not that ho was
reluctant about tnlklng of tho bhooting;
but It had occurred neither to him nor to
any of IiIb fellow townsmen that such an
event was of nolo.
"Wal, yes. there wns n Mexican shot,"
ho drawled In a matter-of-fact tone, when
asked tho direct quotlon. "A New York
boy, I beHovo it was, asked tho Mexican
to go along with his regiment nnd tho
Moxlcan Bald something nasty and tho boy
shot him. That's all, No, I don't bollevo
ho died."
Tho Texan then yawned.
REPORTS OF SNIPING.
Reports of sniping did not disturb the
Philadelphia boys ns much lis tho food prob
lem, which, to bo sure, was solved by n
4 th of July chicken dinner and housewives
waiting at every station with baskets of
delicacies.
Major Casey, tho regiment's crack shot,
could attend to nny snipers, they opined,
learning from natives that if nny troublo
did brow It probably would bo nothing
mora than a stray shot nnd a hasty retreat
on tho part of tho sniper.
A continuation of the Southern hospitality
greeted tho troop train throughout Texas,
essentially a Southern State, by some freak
of geography tucked away in tho Southwest.
At Commerce a Confederate patriarch,

and wo didn't havo It.' "
Congressman Scott declared that tho flag
must be protected. A largo navy he de
clared to bo tho American right, as well as
a largo army. This Is tho price Americans
must pay for a great country. Thero was
no half-heartednes3 about the sort of
preparation urged.
"I favor," he said, "a program that will
provide for patrolling and protecting our
coasts by the greatest navy In the world.
And I believe In as great an army as pre
pared nesi requires.
"Our citizen soldiery of America Is tha
greatest In the world; and drilled and
trained as It should be and will be. by the
officers of the army, wo need fear no assault
nor Insult from any source whatsoever."
SPEECH BY SOUTHERN WOMAN.
A very pretty touch to tho program was a
speech by Mrs. Clara Drlscoll Servla, who
attended the exercises as a representative
of Governor Forguson, of Texas, to present
tho flag of the Lono Star State to the city.
This presentation was announced to be In
celebration of the 60th anniversary of the
Civil War, but as a matter of fact It was
a carry-over from IobI year. However, the
feature lost none of Its plcturesqueness by
tho lapse of tlmo.
J. Hampton Illch. of Winston-Salem, N. C,
presented the city a copy of what he char
acterized as the "Resolve of Mecklenburg."
Mayor Smith received both of these gifts.
Ernest E. fichearer read the Declaration of
Independence. The program was suspended
at noon while the old State House bell tolled
out ft stroke for each state In the Union,
The audience stood uncovered, and when
the tolling ended everybody rose and Joined
In singing "America."
The celebration began at 10 o'clock with
a parade which formed at the State Fen
elblea' Armory, on North Broad street. In
the line were the Police Band and the Fen
clbles, a number in the uniform of the Army
and Navy Union, Then In autombiles came
Councilman John H Bdlzley, of the 3Sth
Ward, chairman of the Fourth of July Com
mittee of Councils ; Congressmen Scott, Fess
and Vare and the Rev. W. Bamford, of St.
Luke's, who delivered the benediction at
the square, and the Rev. P. F. Sheehan, of
St. Thomas Aquinas, who pronounced the
invocation.
Mayor Smith presided at the celebration
In tho Square. Music was furnished by
an orchestra and chorus, both composed of
children of the Campball School, 8th and
Fitzwater streets.
One of the largest of the neighborhood
celebrations was held at Hunting Park,
where a, crowd estimated at 60,000 saw the
