Ultimatum from Carranza to the United
States Likely to be Sent.
Washington, May 18.—Confi-
dential advices received in Wash-
ington state that General Car-
ranza is considering serving an
ultimatum on the United States
demanding the withdrawal of
troops from Mexico.
Carranza is said to hold there
is no longer any legitimate ex-
cuse for keeping American troops
in Mexico. The position he takes
is that no other construction can
be placed on the continued pres-
ence of American troops than
the United States has territorial
designs on Mexico.
In this position Carranza is
said to be supported by General
Obregon. Both are reported,
however, as desiring to avoid
war with the United States be-
cause of their belief that it would
cost Lower California, Sinaloa,
part of Chihuahua and the Tam-
pico oil district.
Germany Desires to Be Good.
*
Washin g to n.—G e r m a n y,
through Count Bernstorff, her
ambassador, has instructed all
German consuls in the United
States to admonish German citi-
zens in their districts scrupulous-
ly to observe American laws.
This was done in an effort to end
various alleged violations of
American neutrality.
The ambassador acted on in-
structions from the Berlin for-
eign office. The action was an-
nounced in an official statement
from the German embassy.

Mr. and Mrs. Adolphus Berry
were gracious host and hostess to
a few of their friends Thursday
evening with a forty-two party.
After playing several games it
was decided that Dr. Black was
most successful player, Mrs.
Berry, assisted by Mrs. Elbert
Clements, served delicious cream
and cake to the following:
Messrs, and Mesdames Richie
Paine, D. W. Black, Ralph Win-
gren, Ben Peak, Elbert Clements,
Herbert Abney, Mrs. Brown of
Rosebud, Miss Lois Black,
Messrs. Roy Murray of San An-
tonio, W. T. Munger and Dennis
Black. After a late hour we bid
our host and hostess adieu hoping
that they would repeat the favor
at some time in the near fut-
ure. x
Weather Report.
The following is the weather
forecast as reported by the gov-
ernment:
Tonight and Saturday gener-
ally fair and warmer.
Another false fire alarm was
turned in Thursday night, the
report being that the Charles
Dickens residence was on fire.
It is known which telephone line
was used in turning in the alarm
but today it was impossible to
locate the alarmist.

Interesting Articles m the
Texas Historical Quarterly.
Austin, Texas.—“The Cattle
Industry of the Southwest” is
the subject of a cursory sketch
by Miss Clara M. Love in the
issue of the Southwestern Histor-
ical Quarterly which is just from
the press. The article deals with
the development of the great cat-
tle industry in Texas and Cali-
fornia, and has a strong interest
for Texas readers.
Another article of absorbing
interest in the present issue of
the Quarterly is one from the pen
of W. E. Dunn, entitled “The
Spanish Search for LaSalle’s
Colony, 1685-1689,” dealing, as
it does, with the excited efforts
of the Spanish authorities in
Mexico to discover and expel the
French who had unintentionally
settled on the shores of Texas.
Five expeditions were sent by
sea and four by land before De-
Leon was finally successful in
1689 in finding the abandoned
ruins of La Salle’s fort Saint
Louis on the Garcitas river. Mr.
Dunn is in an exceptionally fa-
vorable position to obtain first
hand information concerning the
early history of Texas, since he
is now engaged in transcribing
in the archives of Seville, Spain,
original document bearing on
this early period for the Univer-
sity of Texas, the University of
California and the library of
Congress.
Another article of particular
interest to the historian is “Brit-
ish Correspondence Concerning
Texas,” edited by Ephraim D.
Adams, this installment of the
article containing letters from
Capt. Chas. Elliott, British
Charge d’Affairs to the Republic
of Texas, concerning the attitude
of General Houston, Anson
Jones, and Ashbel Smith toward
the annexation of Texas to the
United States. It was Captain
Elliott’s opinion that they pre-
ferred the maintenance of Texan
independence.
A note by Dr. H. E. Bolton,
formerly Professor of History in
the University of Texas, now
with the University of California,
gives some account of the found-
ing of the mission of Refugio
and its original location. It is
by the publication of such rich
historical material year after
year that the Texas Historical
Quarterly is maintaing its posi-
tion as one of the half dozen
most ^influential journals pub-
lished in this country.
