Paso, Tex.June 21: \u2014A detachment of American cavalry clashed with Carranza forces at Carrisal, about 30 miles south of El Paso ear- I+ today, both sides suffering heavy casualties, according to unofficial re- pois received by Mexican military authorities in Juarez tonight.According to the report.forty Aw ericuns were killed by machine gun Ÿ fire in a surprise attack.The Mexvan casualties were said not to have been so heavy, but General Felix Gomez is named as being among the Mexican dead.The American command is said to have heen part of a scouting patrol from Guzman, returning to General Prrshing's line of communication.iater General Francisco Gonzales, Mexican commander at Juarez.gave ont a statement in which he an- aranced officially that the Mexican ermmand had taken 17 prisoners.He älxm said that General Gomez\u2019 death had been confirmed, but said he ha\u2019 ne efficial report as to the number of essualties on either side.Funston Admits Clash.Washington, Tune 21.\u2014 General Frnston reported late tonight that hr kad received official confirmation of a clash between Carranza and Am aricin troops early today near Carrizal, Mexico.He transmitted to the War Department the following re- vort from General Bell at El Paso: \u201cThere was a clash this morning at arrizal near Villa Ahumada be- tweer Carranza and American troops in which General Gomez and other Mexicans were killed, the number urknown.Numbers of Americans killet or wounded unknown.\u201d PRESSURE ON CARRANZA.Entente Allies Need Oil From Tampico.Washington.Jung 21.\u2014Some intimation as to what Æeneral Carranza\u2019s next step would be was expected tonight at the State Department.Officlal advices reported that the American refusal to withdraw General Pershing's troops from Mexico was under consideration by the First, + Chief.Special Agent Rodgers who made the report, was unable to forecast the action of the defacto government and thiew little light on what was going or in the Mexican capital.From other sources.however, it was learn- sd that European diplomats are ex.siting pressure on Carranza to prevent him from going to war with the United States.The Entente Allies are practically anxious, it is under- steed, that nothing should occur at tnis time to shut off the oil supplies lor the French and British navies from the Tampico fields.Allied diplomatic representatives in Mexico City believe, too, that German influences have been working on Carranza in an effort to create a situation that might embarass the eneries of the Central Powers.They phare agserted that German agencies ac been active in stirring up feeling against the United States not only in Mexico but throughout south and Central America, to prevent this country from securing the trade form erly controlled by German mercn- anty, The State Department had no information of these peace making ef- ferie.A study of ali Generai Carranza\u2019 communications and actions dur ing the last months, however, has Even little ground, officials feel, for \u2018a hopelui view.His attitude has been one of growing hostility and officials are not inclined to believe that it could be readily overcome.At the War Department telegrams came during the day from many stues reporting the progress of the mebilization.Scores of regiments arc under canvas tonight.As yet na marching orders for the border have been given, hut they will go before the week is out.\u201cWatchful Waiting.\u201d Washington, June 21: \u2014Officials betrayed grave concern at news dispatches telling of what they realized might he the first bloodshed of a war with Mexico; but none would make ay formal comment.Many believed that while some clash might have o- curred, it was not of a nature to provoke war.Army officers insisted that it was impossible that any American officer, urdcr the standing orders issued weeks ago to General Pershing, wold make an attack on Carranza troops, as indicated in the Mexican version sent from Juarez, President Wilson was told of the reported clash early in the evening.and remained up until late at night av'aiting some official word regarding Tc seemed certain that the President would await an official report be fore taking any drastic step in retaliation upon the Mexican forces.If ar American commander precipitated an engagement this might have weight with the administration in determining its course of action.All commanders are under instructions nf the most positive kind to avoil friction with the Mexican troops, and thev have no authority to attack any Mexican force.Officials continued to express entire confidence in the ability of General Pershing to maintain his position in any emergency.\u2014-\u2014- ~- he Quel QUEBEC, THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 1916.RS BATTLE

artillery fire compelled us to evacuate the town again.\u201cWith firious persistence the Germans operating in the region of Vorontschine, northwest of Kiseline, under cover of gusts of artillery fire

number of prisoners belonging to various regiments, \u201cAt 8 o'clock on the following morning in the region of the village of Rajmiesto on the Stokhod river, northeast of Vorontschine, the enemy

| | 7 TER WT = TLED MONRCH RING NICHOLAS OF MONTENEGRO IN A FRENCH CHA- \u2018TEAU, (By Paul du Bochet, Bordeaux) There is at Merignac, five kilometres from Bordeaux, a small chateau in the French style, architecturally graceful, pleasing and light, with a pretty avenue of chestnuts, an ele- gost\u2019 stone flight of steps leading to a large square courtyard and a ast park shaded by heavy foliage, and carpeted with fresh, thick grass.But in this happy countryside your attention is so Irequently drawn away 2 unexpected and charming visions of every kind that you would pass en almost without glancing aside, were it not for the group of idlers | who from morning to night take their stand at a respectful distance from the open iron gateway.For two months ago this forgotten monument became of a sudden the object of curiosity for the village, a Kindiy curiosity and somewhat garrulous, lovingly indulging in one speculation upon another and delighting in the uncertainty, so stimulating to the play of the ima- me is that I must confess that I bave on occasion been misunderstood, even by my friends.The truth is, | had a weak Government, which did not second my offerte well.But these are matters that I do not wish to raise now.For the time being, there is only one thing to do: make ourselves strong.Later, we shall taik !\u201d In every word one felt a deep sadness, and at the same time a deep and tenacious love for his lost country aud its people.The trial has aged him.1 found him more tight-eyed than formerly snd more highly-coloured, but his features were drawn, and had no longer the same imperious assurance.In his rich Montenegrin dress, all blue and gold-braided, he made a strange and grievous contrast in this framework of delicate and ancient elegance.The Serbian Feast Day.I saw him again three days later.It was Saturday, May 6, St.George's Day in the Orthodox calendar, patronymic feast-day of the Petrovitch dynasty.Now for the Serb, his Saint's Day is the one great day of the whole year.The finest lambs and sucking pigs are roasted on spits before immense braziers in the open air: there is laughing, dancing, ané singing.Raki and sweets are handed round.The arrival of a traveller or a poor man is hailed as a blessing.\u2018The very dead are invited to the feast, and flowers and choice dainties are placed on their graves.This is the \u201cslava\u2019\u201d the old pagan ceremony in honour of the household gods, which was maintainid gination, the nervous strain of expectation and the element of the wnknown; all things necessary for the southern soul ever prompt to.emotion and hazardous hypotheses.\u2018 It was à coup de theatre and no mistake! One fine day it was announced that the Bordeaux authori- les, in response to the desire of the | Government, were putting the cha.; teau at the disposal of King Nicholas of Montenegro, who had arrived a! short time before at Lyons.To back : it up.there were the motor-cars and | big covered wagons that were seen passing through.Strange preparations were afoot, Doubt was no longer possible.Then anc morning | the cortege, so Tong awaited, arrived | and \u201cthere was the official reception | with \u2018fags and speeches.A Talk with the King.| and introduced into the new cult hy the first Christian missionaries.Never, even under the most tragic circumstances, will a Serb forget to the | celebrate his \u201cslava\u201d lt had been my lot to join in such feasts with war all around : \u201c[ had almost said | corpses.But this \"slava\u201d was per-} haps the saddest and most moving.» The whole Montenegrin colony had come from Bordeaux.There were civil servants, students, a few officers, ponr refugees.Tattesod : garments were rubbing against of.\u2019 cial frockenats and uniforms.We were brought into the grand salon of the little chateau, a high and bright apartment with fine brown carvings on a pale blue grou:d sprinkled with rold.Altogether some forty of us at most were there.Towering over the groups with \u2018tions.ARS tar Merignac has its kine ! pis great stature, the iguman Ninor : of rer Fountryside where | Lnvitch, Superior of the Convent oi pet ries h iv He of old are Cgtrog, the sanctuary nf Montene Ye .so much ahve.! ts word has { gro, proudly showed off his black.ept a magic consonance.Think.soutane and crimson silk sach thzt ton, an authentic king.and.what is .; more, the king nf a far-nf foreign * fort ull he ad succeeded In caving country, a king of advanced years, ! and wearing the aureole «f sorrow end misfortune !

\u2018one million dollars, The moving pictures has developed into the greatest international amusement within the past few years, and is now said to be the fifth largest industry in the world.You can get an idea of the magnitude of the business and the unlimited demand for films when you recall that practically every one of the 15,000 moving picture houses in the United States exhibits from 6 to 10 reels per day.That means 90,000 reels per day, 680,000 reels per week.Now, figure that yearly demand in the United States alone.Realize that probably 85 per cent.of the pictures are earning from

No.188.Chicago, Jnue 21.\u2014Wheat\u2014Lncal sentiment has been extremely hear- ish in wheat today and encouraged by some pressure from commission houses with seaboard connections.local bears have vigorously pressed the selling side on every show of strength.Cash premiums today are holding the advance of yesterday.Any kind of good wheat is going to be in excellent demand before many weeks.Corn\u2014Corn has advanced to new high levels on the present upturn and has held the advance remarkably | well.The feeling locally in bearish and as has been the case in wheat, epposition is pronounced in Bulges.Local bears, hawever, are devoting their attention particularly to December delivery.Oats\u2014Commission houses sold freely not until Corn turned strong towards noon did the price of Oats reach last night's closing figures.Further strength is likely to be hor- rowed from the other grain markets.25 at New York\u2014After a fair degree of strength from he opening of the market today until, well past midday stocks turned weak under a sudden and heavy selling movement organized by bear interests.Unfavorable news from Mexico was given as the reason for the effring down of values, but lack of confirmation of; runiors congerning that situation | caused some recovery from the low | sales of the day, However, the linal } sales were pretty well under the opening level, So far as the Mexican ; situation is concerned, and it is this i situation which is oershadowing ev- | erything else nt present.no definute change affecting the outlook in any vay was suggested in the news which came to hand.So far as the : public is concerned Mey are show! ing their preference to await further and more definite developments internationally before entering _upon new contracts, this, we believe Harti- #lly explains the failure of securities to incur a greater recovery from the sharp decline today, but at the same time think the marketfs technical position improved.Sales,

by control than by increasing taxes On cars.Hence, according to an announcement made in the House of Commons today.the increased taxes are to be rescinded and central authority created with power to grant permits for the purchase of specified amounts of petrol.on which a license of sixpence per gallon must be paid at the time of purchase.For commercial cars or those oi doctors and veterinary suf- | geons the permits will he issued at ! half rates.{The discussion in the House of Commons clicited the general opinion ; that the control of petrol would be 1 more equitable than increasing the tax i on motor cars, Jough one member pointed out that the extra tax on the petrol would be more than the cost of i the petrol.Ffforts were also made in che House to have the maximum income tax reduced from five to four shillings per pound.but the guvernment declined to do anything except to endeavor t+ relieve the incidence tax on small unearned incomes.Girl a Nervous Wreck At Eleven Years of Age The

practically all cases of the above are directly or indirectly traceable to acidity and fermentation, they ean climinate from their diet all foods which ferment and form acid, such as all starches and sugar and foods containing them, thus prohibiting bread, potatoes, fruits and most meats.About the only safe foods are gluten breads, spinach and small quantities of white meat of chicken or turkey.This diet is almost a starvation one, but it is sometimes quite effective.The second way, which appeals especially to those who like to eat hearty meals of good foods, is to eat whatever is reasonably digestible, neutralize the acid and stop fermentation by the use of a good ant-acid such as bisurated imagnesia.à tes- spoonful of which in a little water immediately after eating or whenever pain is felt.instantly neutralizes the acid, stops the fermentation and permits the stomach to do its work without pain or hindrance.Owing to its simplicity, convenience and effectiveness this latter plan is now being adopted, instead of the old fashioned, expensive, weakening starvation process.In this connection it is interesting to note that since the wide- «pread use of bisurated magnesis was established, many druggists have arranged to supply it in 8 gr.tablets 2 or 3 of which are equivalent to a teaspoonful of the powder form and are much more convenient to carry.iL
