WARNS U. S. ARMY HOTTOMOVE SOUTH Carranza Says Act Would Be Signal for Warfare. GENERAL PERSHING NOTIFIED General Trevino Serves Notice on American Commander After Receiving Order From “First Chief”—Mexicans in Raid. Chihuahua City, Mex., June 19.— G«n. Jacinto Trevino, commanding the Carrunzista army of the north, advised General Pershing. American .expeditiouaiy commander, that any movemen' of American troops from their present lines to the south, east or west would be considered a hostile act ana a signal to commence warfare. General Trevino acted upon specific insiructiohs from General Carranza. Washington, June 19. —President Wilson virtually completed his reply to the Carranza note. Renewed border raids and the anti-Mexican demonstrations in Mexico have not altered Mr. Wilson’s determination that in- j tervention will come only if it is forced by the acts of Carranza or through his failure to exercise control over his army or people. Tlie note contains no statement, it is said, that should arouse hostility unless Carranza is deliberately set upon bringing on a clash with the United States. The note reiterates the declaration that the United States .forces will remain in tlie borderland of Mexico until there remains no probability of bandit raids in American territory. There was no confirmation of the report from E! Paso that General Gnvira had been executed tn Mexico City, charged with treason for having entered into an unauthorized conference with General Pershing. San Antonio. Tex., June 19. —Maj. Alonzo Gray led his little command of cavalry across the river into Mexico in search of tlie bandits who made a raid on his camp at San Ignacio, but remained on Mexican soil onlyt two hours. He found no trace of bandits. On the American side three, of the bandits were captured and the body of one found, bringing the total of Mexican dead to nine. El Paso. Tex.. June 19.—Mexican troops crossed the border 12 miles west of El Paso and raided the small town of Noria. N. M. A battle followed. One Mexican was reported killed. There were no American casualties, according to a report from the sheriff at Noria received by General Bell. Three automobile trucks with a detachment of soldiers have been rushed to re-enforce the civilian guard. Gen. George Bell. Jr., commander of the brigade stationed her for the protection of El Paso and the border in the immediate vicinity, issued orders to assemble the entire force. The only explanation for the order was that unusual activity on the part of the Carranza garrison at Juarez had been noticed throughout the day. General Gonzales, the Juarez commander, has posted an order calling all Mexicans over seventeen years of age to the cuartel for military instruction. Five thousand additional Mexican troops have been brought to points along the Mexican Central railroad north of Villa Ahumada, presumably as re-enforcements for the Juarez garrison. The total number of troops in Genera! Bell’s command is approximately 3,500, including several pieces of heavy artillery. He is satisfied that the situation can be controlled without serious danger to life or property in El Paso. It was asserted that the expeditionary command is amply prepared to care for itself In any eventuality. ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL. Measure Reported to House Is $55,000,000 Over Last Year. g Washington.

RUSSIANS WIN A BIG BATTLE IN THE BALTIC German Cruiser and Thirteen Other Vessels Destroyed in Attack on Convoy Fleet. Copenhagen. June 16. —The German ■ cruiser Koenig von Sachsen (King of Saxony), a destroyer and 12 merchant- | men have been sunk in a sea tight in : i the Baltic, according <o a report re- i ceived on Wednesday by the Exchange Telegraph company. The Dagens Nyheter publishes ths ( following: “Fourteen German merchant ships, convoyed by eight armed trawlers, the j cruiser Koenig von Sachsen and two destroyers in the Baltic, were sudden- . !y attacked by six Russian destroyers : and submarines. The Germans fled. It is believed 12 of tlie merchantmen were sunk. A trawler lias arrived at Nykoping with 150 survivors of a Ger- ■ man destroyer. The Koenig von Saeh- I sen was surd- with all hands.’’ The battle, according to dispatches from Nykoping, took place between j midnight ami one o'clock in the morn- ; ing at a point near Hevringe. The reported engagement apparently resulted from an attempt of the Germans to land a large body of reenforcements for Field Marshal von Hindenburg’s Offensive against the Russian line in the region of Jacobstadt. on the Rlga-Dv’nsk front. The presence of 14 merchant ships betrays the proportiShs ofithe reported movement. Available naval registers do not list | the Koenig von Sachsen. It probably I is one of the four cruisers laid down i in 1913 and expected to be completed ; during the last year and this. Berlin (via London).

DAIRY WOODEN BLOCKS FIND FAVOR Ideal, for Paving Floors of Dairy Barns —Coal Tar Creosote Adds Much to Durability. ‘ (By B. O. LONGYEAR, Colorado Agricultural College. Fort Collins, Colo.) Pavements made of wood blocks are i no new thing—in fact, they were exi tensively used a generation ago in i the principal timber-producing regions lof the country. They were usually I composed of round blocks set on end ' anu i>e spaces filled with sand. While ; I excellent when new, they soon wore j ! out in places by the decay of some of ' the blocks, which left the pavement | rough and full of holes, unless freI quently repaired. Substitutes such as stone, brick and' asphalt have largely replaced wood for pavement!, while concrete has come into use for ground floors in j stable and dairy barns. The desirable I j qualities of wood, however, which j these substitutes largely lack, have again brought the wooden block into I favor. Thus, it is more quiet, it is not | so slippery and is less trying to the feet and legs of animals than are most I of its substitutes. Its lack of durability is now overI come by treating the blocks with coal ' tar creosote, and the blocks are cut ■ square or rectangular so that there are no large openings between them. For dairy barns, creosoted wood blocks laid on a concrete foundation ■ are found to produce an almost ideal ! floor, and one that is lasting and sanitary as well. PROPER COOLING FOR CREAM Attention Must Be Given Just as Soon as Separated—Dampened Blankets Lower Temperature. 1 Now that warm weather is approaching, every possible means must be i taken to get cream on the market in good condition. The warm days that ' have already passed have had a j marked effect in lowering the quality of cream now being made into butter. Attention must first be paid to cooling the cream jyst as soon as separated. However, the greatest ex- | posure to heat usually comes when the cream is hauled to market, and the cans are left uncovered and exposed ; to the hot sun and dust. It has been found by experiment that the temperature may be kept more than 20 degrees lower when dampened blankets are thrown over the can or dampened blankets are used than when the cans are left uncovered. In addition, the dirt and dust are kept away from the cans and cream. It is not only to the advantage of the producer to help in keeping up the quality of the cream so that good I pricey may continue, but low-grade | cream cannot be allowed to come upon ; the market in the future. — I KEEP A MILK BOTTLE CLEAN ■ Closure, Invented by Terre Haute Man, Is More Sanitary Than Ordinary Pasteboard Disk. The Scientific American in illustrating and describing a bottle closure, invented by R, E. Redding of Terre Haute, Ind., says: The invention provides a closure which is more sanitary than the ordinary pasteboard disk. This is due to Bottle Closure. the provision of a cloth strip which forms an auxiliary closure member and prevents dirt and dust from entering the bottle while the main closure member is being removed. It also provides a device having a closure of the type described which may be readily taken off or applied to the bottle. BEST RATION FOR DAIRY COW Much Rough Feed In Form of Hay and Silage Must Be Supplied—Also Give Her Grain. The good dairy cow is a large eater and drinker. She has a large stomach and must consume large amounts us feeds daily to fill the milk pail at every milking during the year. She must eat till she is full and content to lie in the stall or pasture and chew her cud. Much rough feed in the form of hay and silage must be included in her daily ration. Also she must have some rich or heavy feeds such as grain or meal. The total amount of feed she should receive daily or a* a single feed will depend somewhat upon the amount of milk she is giving, or capable of giving. While she is giving her heaviest flow of milk she should have a rather heavy grain or concentrated ration in addition to the bulky matter. Good Grain Nation. Corn makes a good grain ration for a skim milk calf. Experiments have proven that for ycung calves shelled corn gives equal, if not better results than cornmeal after the calves are well started eating grain. Overfeeding la Injurious. It never pays to overfeed a calf on skim milk. Overfeeding is cue of the common causes of inferior calves. Because the fat has been removed Is no excuse for gorging the crlf on sklrn milk, i
