ALLIES CLAIM U-BOAT IS PROTECTED

Entente Diplomats Assert That German Submarine Had Convoy On Trip—Ruling Soon.

Although state department officers virtually are convinced that the German submarine Deutschland is strictly a merchant vessel, the advice of the neutrality board will be sought before a final ruling is made. The allies have added nothing more to the representations they made suggesting that the Deutschland is a potential warship and Mr. Polk stated that he expected no opposition from that quarter to the department’s ruling. Diplomats of the allied countries re • ceived information during the day indicating that the Deutschland was convoyed from Bremeen almost to the Chesapeake capes b ya neutral merchantman, presumably Norwegian, Swedish or Dutch, which aided in sheltering her from detection "by any enemy warships and also acted as a tender. This information may be communicated alter to the state department and an investigation requested. Hied warships are said to be searching for the convoy ship.

INDIANA SOLDIERS IN DANGER ZONE

Seventy-Five Per Cent of People Living In and Near Mercedes Are Greasers.

The Indiana soldiers feel complimented because they have been sent to the danger zone and that it will not be long before they are prepared to meet any emergency. The Indianians are in camp with the Nebraska and Minnesota troops, but because of their position there is nothing between the Indiana troops and the border and should there be a raid the Indiana troops would have to bear the brunt of the fighting. The guns of the Indiana batteries are so placed that they can rake any attacking force white tne Indiana infantry is in a position to support the batteries. There is a subdued agitation along the valley for intervention and it is asserted openly that American influences and American money are behind the raids of bandits, who live by cot, for the purpose of bringing intervention about, because the bandits who were caught or killed in former raids were found to be well supplied with American money, arms and ammunition. Army officers stationed at Mercedes confidently expect another raid before ong and every day one of the cavalry companies at Mercedes makes a scouting trip to the border, which is only a few miles away from the camp. Inquiry shows that some of the stories of the locality are false, but there is enough truth to show that the situation along the border near Mercedes is critical, regardless of the dipomatic negotiations going on .at Washington. Seventy-five per cent of the people living in and around Mercedes are greasers and every American is a mark for Mexican malice. A spirit of deep enmity prevails everywhere. As the warlike columns with jingling spurs and all the bravery of the American soldiers uniform pass along they are greeted with sarcastic sneers at one moment; at another with cringing and bowing, for the average Mexican is well versed in hypocrisy. Tuesday night a Mexican was discovered near the Indiana camp by Lieutenant Dawson, of Battery A, of Lafayette, close to the horses. The moment he saw that the tall lieutenant had discovered him there was a display of white teeth which resembled a lot of little islands in a cup of coffee. “So tall an American!” exclaimed the Mexican, pointing in the air. “Get out of here,” Dawson exclaimed, and the Mexican dodged into the brush. z • Another Mexican officer failed to stop when challenged by a picket, but he went scooting through the wood when a shot was fired*over his head. Another tropical storm with thunder, lightning and rain, made the Indiana troops realize that belonging to the national guard, which was once a pleasure, is now ah ordeal, but they can congratulate themselves that their toes will not be frostbitten. The camp is being rapidly whipped into condition and it is expected that by Sunday everything will be in tip-top shape. The soldiers are as a whole in good condition.

WILSON CHARGED WITH AIDING MEXICO

Sensational Charges Made In Washington That U. S. Officials Aid Mexicans in Getting Munitions.

Washington, D. C., July 12.—Sensational charges that the Wilson administration is permitting Carranza tou>btain American arms and ammunition with which to slay American soldiers were made yesterday by Senator Borah, of Idaho. Fro manother source came authoritative information that the administration not only has permitted the exportation of ammunition to Carranza, but actually has caused at least one American factory Within the last two months, and after the killing of American soldiers by Carranzistas, to hasten delivery of cartridge making machines to the de facto government of Mexico at the specifis request of Carranza. Acting Secretary of State Polk admitted yesterday that the negotiations with Carranza for safeguarding the border are at a standstill and that he is awaiting the initiation of the parleys by Carranza. Representative aCnnon of Illinois excoriated the Wilson Mexican policy in a speech in the house yesterday. About the middle of last May, it. transpires, Senor Arredondo, Mexican ambassador designate to the United States, complained to the state dcpartment of the delay in obtaining five cartridge manufacturing machines from the Waterbury-Farrell Foundry &-Machine company of Waterbury, Conn. The state department took the matter up with the Waterbury Co., with the result that three of the machines were shipped at once and the other two went forward within a few days. When the state department took this action to hasten the shipment of the cartridge making machines to the de facto government Carranza was opposing the retention of the Pershing army Mexico, was beginning to manifest hostility to the operations of the American troops, and was disposing his forces so as to menace the American positions. The state department obtained immediate shipment of the cartridge making machines about one month after the Parral battle in which the first American soldiers were killed and wounded by Carranza’s army. The Parral battle was fought on April 13th.

Miss Marie Hamilton Taken To Hospital In Chicago.

Miss Marie Hamilton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Hamilton, was taken to Chicago this morning to be placed in a hospital, either St. Lukes or Wesley, it not having been determined upon at the time she left which hospital she would be taken to. Miss Hamilton took ill suddenly Wednesday morning while down town and she was hurriedly taken to her home and a physician called. The physician has not yet determined what the ailment is, but it seems to be something closely resembling appendicitis.

Eclipse of the Moon Will Occur Friday Night.

An eclipse of the moon will take place July 14. The full moon will rise at 7:30. The eclipse will begin at 9:35. All eclipses of the moon come from the east. The eclipse will be central at 10:50, and will end at 12:27. When central eight-tenths of the moon’s diameter will be covered. Eclipses of the moon are caused by the passage of the earth between the sun and the moon. The shadow of the earth thus darkens the face of the moon. The truth of the order and stability of our planetary system is demonstrated by the fact that eclipses can be cal/ulated with the greatest precision, not only for years to come, but for centuries and ages, either past or to come.
