(By Associated Press). Washington, D. C., June 29.—The of ficial announcement of General Car ranza’s order for the release of the American troopers captured at Carri zal reached the state department this morning from Special Agent Rodgers, at Mexico City. When he sent the message Roders expected a reply to the American note momentarily. The danger of an immediate break •was relieved by dispatches saying the prisoners had been started to the bor der from Chihuahua. Until Carranza replies to the demand for a statement of his attitude toward the American expedition in Mexico to protect the border the crisis is not ended. High officials of the administration Jet it he known that the United States will proceed with ipilitary operations to adequately safeguard its citizens and territory and to continue to pur sue bandits in Mexico whenever there is hope of overtaking them regardless of action by the Mexican military commanders. The lessening of the tension had no effect on the efforts to speed the mobilization of guardsmen along the border and to furnish an adequate sup ply of war material to meet any emer gency. Even should the Mexican re ply meet all demands the border pa trol will be maintained at the strength contemplated .while bandit danger continues. Ambassador Arredondo received message this morning from Foreign Minister Aguilla confirming the report that General Carranza had ordered General Trevino tor elease the Am erican troopers captured at Carrizal. General Funston advised the war de partment this morning of a dispatch from General Bell last night saying Consul Garcia had informed him at F.l Paso of the- ordered release of the prisoners.

MAW PRISONERS 'ARE TAKEN BY RUSSIANS Petrograd, June 29.—The war of fice announces the capture in Volhy- nia and Galicia yesterday of 10,500 prisoners by the Russians. The war Building a Business A certain store which is being reestablished by new owners has specialized on famous trade marked lines in many of its departments. The figures of the store- sales show that the depart ments which have been able to secure such goods and push them are growing far ahead of those which have no famous brands to help them. n---n n ,es to the advertis ing of this store evidence the fact that the public is more eager for well known trade-marked goods than it is for articles whose names mean nothing. In several instances there is direct cooperating adver tising in the local newspapers between the manufacturer and the store—and this has brought splendid results in dollars and cents. It was stated to a Herald reporter this afternoon that the Southern Manufacturing company’s band would be sent over to Atlanta on July 4 for the purpose of taking part in the great preparedness parade to be held in that city. The band will be sent to Atlanta at the expense of the city of Athens. Mayor Arnold stated that he would also go ovef Wfhc capital city for the day and that he too would take part in the exercises of the day. He will in all probability be made a marshal In the parade as he has been request ed to serve in this capacity. There will be representatives from 'practi cally every iarge city in the State of Georgia in Atlanta for the parade and it is expected that It will be one of the greatest ever held in this sec tion of the Country. It is a known fact that there has never been a pa rade as large as the one to he held )n Atlanta on the fourth, in the entire south. The mayors and officials of every city in the state of Georgia have been invited to take part and it is expected that Atlanta will have the greatest crowd of people congregated in the history of the city. It was expected that the fighting Fifth regiment would be able to take part in the pa rade, but owing to the fact that the Fifth is now at the mobilization camp in Macon,’it will not be possible for that regiment to take part in the groat preparedness parade.

Renewed Activity Among (By Associated Press). Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico.—Reports from outlying districts indicate re newed activity on the part of the Ya qui Indians. This has been antici pated by those fumiliar with condi tions in Sonora because the campaign inaugurated by the defocto govern ment in January for the purpose of ridding the country of the Yaquis has not ns yet been a success. Approximately eleven thousand troops were mobilized under General Dieguez to drive the Indians from Mountains, bat the soldiers werrf ly equipped for the undertaking.' They lacked discipline, organisation and spirit and although the, Mexican gov ernment may have desired an aggres sive acmpaign the local leaders and men had no intention of taking the offensive against the savages whose fighting ability is well known through out the republic. Like tho Apache tribes of Arizona, the Yaquis have committed the most fiendish attroci- ties. For this reason the troops fear to operate against the warriors. The strength of the Indians Ib not accurately known, but is estimated as being about ten thousand of which ap proximately four thousand are. well armed fighting men. This forcO gen erally operates in bands of fifty to one hundred or more which, makes swift and unexpected raids upon out lying ranches and villager during the harvest season and at other times If their food supply happens to run low as is the case at the present time. Spies are maintained throughout the farming districts who keep the tribe well informed and assist in, the raids. The Indians dress as do the peons with shirt and trousers of faded blue demin or khaki, usually the latter a* it is more easily procurable, for many Yaquis have served In the revolution ary armies. A large straw hat, not uhlfke that worn by northern farmers, with brim turned down, protects them from the sun and conceals their iden tity when necessary; and their feet arc protected from the rough country by leather sandals—guarachos, ar thev are called. * This similarity of garb makes It dif ficult even for Mexicans to distinguish parties of Indians from troops of the Planting Seeds in the Sky Mr. Manufacturer, if you were start ing out to plant seeds you would not shoot them skywards hoping a few would light on the ground? Of course not! You would go direct to the ploughed fileds and sow them carefully. Catch the advertising thought?

For example, the town of Suas, Son ora , was raided last year. The in habitants saw the mounted body ap proaching with trumpets flourishing and drums ruffling. but it wok thought that an expected detachment of troops was arriving. Not until the Indians were actually in the town was it real ized what had happened, Men,'wom en and children Were forced, out of their homes and drlvCh to tfi*' town ’rifled, the savages packed'the clothing, loot ed the houses, gathered in ,the - fiorscs and mules, and rode-off unmolested with four of the young, girls. The Mexican wife ana family of American, John Lehr, were carried off by the Indians during a Hid; upon the town of Siiaque" Grande during November of. lost year after the 17- yoar-old son had been killed, but these captives were released lest month when the Indians were forced to aban don - one of their many water holes upon the unexnected approach of a vastly superior force of Mexican troops. Want of food and clothing onuses the Indians to make their forays and for this reason the productive lands of the American settlement south of the Yaqui river have, been subjected to many costly incursions which have laid waste most of that region and forced the majority of the settlers to abandon their farms and return, In many eases penniless, to tile United States. Late information indicates that the Indians are now operating fo the northward in the vicinity of Ortis, a small town on the Southern Pacific railroad, thirty miles north of Quay- mas. ^ BARBECUE SATURDAY AT OLD CITY PARK The employees of the'Southern man ufacturing company will, hold a bar becue at the old city park on Prince avenue Saturday afternoon at 1 o’clock.

The Southern Manufacturing company’s band will in all probability furnlrh music for the day. TRIES TO TAKE TOOLS WAS MOVED BY POLICE This afternoon at about 1:20 o'clock the police had a call to the Athens Empire company. Mr. C. D. Heidler, manager of the company, called the police to see that a man named Tay lor, an employe of the Chafln Broth ers Gerage, was taken from the laun dry and arrested. Mr. Heidler stat ed that the man had come to the laun dry and asked for some tools thht were left there by his father when he left the employ of the laundry. The tools were some than had been used by the laundry for hat cleaning pur- uoses and the father had left them there as security for some money he had borrowed, according to the state ment of Mr. Heidler. When Mr. Heid ler told the man that he could not get the tools, it is said that the man went into the building and said that be would take them, at which time tne police were called. Mr. Heidler would not make a case against Taylor but stated to the polled that he wanted the man kept away from the laun dry. One cure for the man, .who thinks he knows more than anybody else, is five grains of strychnine. all the expenses to bo borne by the Barrett company, Including railroad fare, board, etc., and in addition to (hat this would not be construed Ot mean that such member attending the training camps would be denied Ms regular two weeks vacation. His sal ary will continue, while be it at the training tamps.

Those who wero arraigned are; Cal May, Bufford Connell, Sam Bolds, Will Olsen, LouiS Mooney, Jack Dammons, and Cloud Brooks. The two men who were fined were Cal May and Bufforfi Connell.
