Mexico.
- Des Moines, July 3.—Recruiting for the cavalry continues and it* is probable that the squadron will be mustered in, in a couple of days. A three weeks program of drill, athletic sports and target practice has been arranged for the guardsmen, indicating that no movement southward is expected.
Washington, July 3.—The state department has indicated that this government would not press Curran-za for an answer at this time. High officials have expressed themselves as believing that the crisis is over.
Mexico City, Mex., July 3.—There is nothing to indicate that Carranza is preparing any reply to the last two notes of the United States. The guardsmen continue to be moved southward.
" Washington, July 3.—The war department announces that the southern department has been divided into three separate districts with Pershing, Bell and Funston in command of their respective districts. The probability is entertained that General Wood will be appointed supreme commander.
* Fabens, Tex., July 3.—American troops which crossed into Mexico near Fort Hancock late Saturday in pursuit of Mexican raiders, recross-ed the river yesterday, the trail having been lost. Three troops of cavalry under Capt. Leroy Eltinge, pur
sued eight Mexicans who raided the old post at Fort Hancock and escaped with several head of government horses.
Nogales, Ariz., July 3.—Nogales was aroused early yesterday by a fusillade of shots just west of the town. After five minutes the firing, which was an exchange of shots between members of the Carranza garrison in Nogales, Sonora, and an American sentry post, came to an end.
There were no casualties. It is supposed here that the shooting was the outcome of a celebration in the Mexican town Saturday night in which a large quantity of liquor was broached.
With the arrlvalp-of the California field artillery, the force here will total 3,000 men. A squadron of the California National guard cavalry arrived yesterday. The field artillery was expected last night.
Carranzista fighting men in. western Sonora, including Yaqui and Mayo Indians, seasoned soldiers and citizens in training are reported to he about 19,000. These are exclusive of the forces south of Douglas and around Cananea.
While mobilizing continues on this side of the border smallpox and starvation are active throughout Sonora, according to Joseph Knoden, a German sailor who arrived here yesterday after six days on a troop train of forty-seven cars moving north from Guaymas to Imuris. Knoden, a forecastle hand on the German ship Hans, Interned at Santa Rosalia twenty-three months ago, reached Guaymas June 23. As he spoke Spanish he was treated with courtesy. He had exceptional opportunities for observation from the slow moving troop train. Soldiers everywhere, he said, had plenty to eat, but their supplies were provisions of which merchants had been stripped. The population of all but the larger towns had for days been feeling the pinch of hunger.

War and Life Insurance. Eds. Freeman-Tribune: Allow me
to comment on the numerous articles which have appeared in your paper, concerning the effect of war and military service on life insurance policies, particularly the article under date of July 1st, written by a soldier at Camp Dodge, criticising the attitude of the Modern Woodmen. Tjiis good soldier evidently is not familiar with life insurance; neither is he informed on the real mission and purpose of the Modern Woodmen, because he has not taken into consideration that there is an extreme difference in a life insurance company, formulated for the sole purpose of furnishing life Insurance, and a fraternal association, instituted on the lodge-Bystem, and whose first duty is fraternalism.
He seems to believe that a man forfeits his life Insurance when, because of loyalty to the flag, he enters military service, which is not the fact. In event of death of the insured while engaged in military or naval service, each policy claim will be paid according to the condition contained within the policy regulating such claim. This condition being. that during the first twelve months the only liability to the company being the premium actually paid by the insured and after the policy is twelve months old it is absolutely free from restrictions as to residence, occupation, travel or place of death. Let us recall that the Modern Woodmen are not a life insurance company. It is a fraternal society. Its nature and purpose is to promote fraternal relations among its members, and to furnish financial aid to the beneficiaries of members at the death of such members in accordance with the articles of incorporation, by-laws, rules and regulations of the society. The society does not issue a policy, contract of insurance which guarantees to pay a definite sum at death, for and in consideration of a definite sum premium paid by the insured. However, it issues a benefit certificate which entitles the member to all the rights and privileges of the society, and at death his beneficiary is entitled to participate in the benefit fund of the society to an amount not to exceed the amount stated in his benefit certificate—provided, however, that all the conditions and requirements contained in his certificate, and In the bylaws of the society, as the same now exist, or may be here after modified, amende-1 or enacted, shall have been fully observed and complied with. There is no reason why any one should express great surprise when informed that by entering military service his benefit certificate in tho Modern Woodmen becomes of no value, for as a matter of fact, there are dozens of legitimate occupations much less hazardous than war, that are not covered by their benefit certificate, and in case a member engages in these occupations, all his rights to recover indemnity from tlv society is forfeited. Every beneficial member in the Modern Woodmen signed an application for membership in the society and agreed therein that if he should fail to comply with and conform to a*hy and all of the by-laws of the society, that his benefit certificate should become null and void; and it is my opinion that if a man signs and agrees to these things, he Bhould continue to do so willingly. The Modern Woodmen know well that these things will come about, and that is why tliey are contained in the application, membership certificate and the by-laws. The Modern Woodmen are without doubt the greatest fraternal benefit society in existence, a leader in its class, and doing the things it is instituted to do strictly on the square; the man who neglected • to think deeply of what its real mission and purpose is, and joined its ranks feeling that he was buying permanent life insurance, has only himself to blame, and if he has made a mistake he alone can correct it4 ' Walter Ferrell.

LONDON ADS WHICH SCARE THE TOURIST
London, June 23.—Letter to the Freeman-Tribune from Wilbur S. Forrest, United Press Correspondent; If American voyagers have qualms about sea traveling after a voyage from New York to London, a short sojourn in London before continuing across the Channel to Paris or the North Sea to Holland Is not designed, just at present, to act as a sedative to frazzled nerves. Outfitters shops, liberally scattered In the American's usual London itinerary, And- the newspapers, constantly sound the warning "Be Prepared." Display windows of these outfitters shops are constantly filled with patent life belts while the newspapers are reaping a harvest of advertisements pointing out the relative merits of "Somebody's Patent Waistcoat." A news column also is occasionally devoted to a new invention which appears like an ordinary suit of clothes but is capable of floating the heaviest man. Here is a sample "ad" from a big London daily which Inject a doubt into the mind of the most Intrepid civilian set dog! "Do not rely on death trap life belts which turn unconscious wearers face downward and drown them. Remember the Maloja and Sussex disasters. Our waistcoat makes drowning impossible by turning the wearer when he ceases to struggle. "It has saved hundreds of lives from the Lusitania, Falaba, Costello, Royal Edward, India, Persia, Galicia and other well known disasters." The "Ad" is fortified by illustrations showing the "unconscious" survivor floating serenely on his back while others (who failed to go prepared) are maneuvering through the preliminaries of a watery death. One manufacturer of life saving waistcoats quotes In his "ad" fr6m the experiences of a real live Lord who owes his present status to his foresight in purchasing a waistcoat before venturing on the Mediterranean. There are many and divers models of life saving waistcoats. Inquiry today elicited that the sale of all models since the latest German submarine campaign, has been enormous. Some models may be worn as an ordinary vest. The prospective survivor has only to reach down and extract a little tube, with a valve attached, from somewhere in his shirt front. When danger comes lie simply inflates the vest like a foot ball and he is ready for the worst. All travelers from England wear their waistcoats day and night while In the danger zones. The American who leaves London without this little necessity is in a class by himself.
