Border Towns Broiling
Under 114 Temperature
EL PASO, July 7. 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

. ,. 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.

WASHINGTON, July 7. The note delivered today by Secretary Lansing to
Ambassador Arredondo in reply to that received Tuesduy from Foreign Minister

Sir I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communi
cation of July 4, 1916, in which you transcribe a note addressed to me
by the Secretary of Foreign Relations of your Government and to re
quest triat you transmit to him tho following reply:
Mr. Secretary I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of
your courteous note transmitted to me by Senor Arredondo on the fourth
instant in whjch you refer to my notes of June 20 and June 25, and to
assure you of the sincere gratification of my Government at tho frank
statement of the difficulties which have unfortunately arisen "in our
relations along the international boundary and tho unreserved expression
of the desire of your Government to reach an adjustment of these
difficulties on a broad and amicable basis.
The same spirit of friendship and of solicitude for the continuance
of cordial relations between our two .countries inspires my Government,
which equally desires an immediato solution of tho matter of difference
which hove long vexed both Governments.
It is especially pleasing to my Government thnt the de facto Gov
ernment of Mexico is disposed to give quick as well as practical con
sideration in a spirit of concord to the remedies which may be applied
to the existing condition. Reciprocating the same desire, the Govern
ment of tho United States is prepared immediately to exchange views
as to a practical plan to remove finally and prevent n recurrence of
the difficulties which have been the source of controversy.
Accept, Mr. Secretary, tho renewed assurance of my highest con
sideration. I am, sir, yours very sincerely,
ROBERT LANSING.

This fish, weighing COO pounds, was

5 Submarine and other naval ac-

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.
APPEARANCE UNUSyAL.
Whother man-eaftng sharks ever come to
temperate waters is a question which has
never been proved. Rewards have been of
