Excessive heat is reported from towns along the Mexican frontier today. From Yuma, Ari., come dispatches stating that the temperature there is 114 degrees, and .thnt this prcvoiied throughout that section of the coun try. Also reports from Phoenix, ArL, give the temperature there as 110. These temperatures convey an idea of the intense hcntwhlch the United States soldiers, especially tho national guardsmen have en countered on the border. Yuma is near the California - Mexico line. Added to the intense heat arc the blinding dust storms on the Mexican front. These, however, arc some what abated with the approach of the rainy season. WASHINGTON, July 7 Mexican Ambassador-designate Arredondo, acting upon Instructions from Mexico City, today noti fied the State Department that a InrRQ Vllllsta band attacked the Carranza gar rison at Corrlslltos, near Jlmlnez. State of Chihuahua, Wednesday, almost destroy ing It. Fearing the band might take to the desert, Carranza has asked tho State Department to have the American -border watched on the American side between Bomilllas and Ojlnaga to prevent a raid. Carranza has promised to do his utmost on the Mexican side to Intercept such an attompt If made. In order to avoid dolay the embassy telephoned the Information to the State De partment as -soon ds It was received, and shortly after sent a formal written commu nication. This new position assumed by General Carranza and his advisers was a distinct relief to tho United States. Orders Im mediately were rushed- to the Various com mandorn all along the line' to keep their troops ready for any eventuality. SITUATION SERIOUS. The orders to Arredondo to announce that the situation was serious came direct from General Carranza. According to an of ficial Btatepient Issued by the Mexican Em bassy the Carranza garrison at Corralltosf was almost "destroyed" by an attack from the Vlllistas. Whether Villa was In per sonal command Is not yet known, although Administration officials feel certain that he was. Admission In the announcement by the Embassy that General Carranza has agreed to "exercise all possible vigilance" south of the border was pleasing to officials here. The warning was received by Secretary of State Lansing and President Wilson while the Cabinet was In session. It was ac cepted as Indicating a "complete change of heart!' by the de facto Government, and the Cabinet" officials are understood to have greed that, coupled with the latest declara Jlon of principles by Carranza, It Indicated that there would be no obstacle raised In tho way of a complete settlement of the Issues at stake by diplomatic measures. In dUcusstng the communication he re ceived from Carranza, Arredondo said: I have brought to ne attention of the State Department the fact that a large band of Vlllistas attacked our garrison at Coralitos on Wednesday, almost destroying It. Fearing that this band might try to penetrate the desert as far as the border and cause further difficulties between Mexico and the United States, General Carranza has directed the attention of the Ameri can Government bo that all possible vigilance may be exercised on the Continued on r Two, Colomn rlto . ,. THE WEATHER An absent-minded man entered a at,ore in Weat Philadelphia hurriedly and said he wanted to see a pair of gold cuff buttons. The proprietor of the place looked at him In amazement. Not until then dld'the cus tomer realize that he was In a butcher's shop. But the place was so fancy looking that he was completely deceived. Steaks and chops were on fancy plates surrounded with roses, and choice bits of veal and pork were encased )n settings of parsley and pep pers. The whole display savored of an art exhibition. This was no exaggeration In view of tho prices asked for the wares within. With the price of btef steadily oaring. It ta not unlikely that It will eventually reach a point at which It can be used In an artlstla way. -An exhibition of choice steaks, and chops may some day be a great attraction. A. lecturer well versed in beefology could tell the history of beef and pork, and hark hack tq the days when person used to eat It with their meals.

SHARKS' RAVAGES ON JERSEY COAST PUZZLE TO SCIENCE Two Fatalities at Shore Rouse Specualtion as to Cause ": FISH OFFAL IS BLAMED Presence of Sharks on Coast of New Jersey Accounted For IMcnhnden fishers dump food o fish tnlcn in nets back into waters in vicinity of Delaware Breakwater. 2Shiftinc course of Gulf Stream westward may have lured tropical and deep-sea fish further in shore one! northward. 3 Scarcity of food fish supply in native waters compels forafj ing in more distant regions. 4 Firinp; of preat fjuns in artil- lery action alone; other parts of coast forces fish to seek shelter of many bays and harbors of Jersey coast. 5 Submarine and other naval ac- , tivities on European aide of Atlantic drive sharks in greater number to western or American coasts. 6 Curtailment of ocean travel to and from American ports duo to war conditions with consequent lessening of disturbance lures sharks further away from usual haunts. Savants In this city, whether of natural history or geography and hydrography, are profoundly Interested In tho recent fatali ties to bathers on the New Jersey coast through attacks by sharks. The sharks, whose man-eating proclivi ties cost the lives of Charles 11 Vansant, of this city at Reach Haven last Saturday, and Charles Bruder, a bellboy at Spring Lake yesterday, are believed to have been of the West Indian variety. Authorities on the subjects mentioned admit that at the present time they are without sufficient Information to explain the appearance of the eea monsters so far Inland "and northward at a point remote from their usual habitat. Several theories advanced, however. And supporters and opponents. One of the chief reasons for the present appearance of sharks In the vicinity of Island Heights and other central bathing beaches of the Jersey coast Is that the menhaden flshera are to blame. It Is the custom of these fleets to gather In their great nets thousands of Rsh of all sorts In every C3st These are taken aboard the boats and food fishes, in accordance with the United States law forbidding their capture, are thrown overboard, This operation, in many cases. It Is raid, is not compiled with' until the boats are virtually In harbor at the Delaware Breakwater or the fertlllxtng plants at Lewes. The food fish, cast back into their native element, are consequently unusually numerous at the mouth of Dela. ware Bay nd In the Atlantic at places nearby, particularly the many little bays and inlets that mark the.' entire coast ot New Jersey.
