SAVANNAH TO HAVE'
TENTHOUSAIIDWITH
THE EMEETII6
SAVANNAH, Ga., June 20.'—Conserv
ative estimates place the number of
.visitors in Savannah for the meeting
' of the Grand Aerie, Fraternal Order of
Eagles, August 18-19, at 10,000. Many
persons in close touch with the affairs
of the fraternity, declare that there
will be at least 15,000 visitors here.
The convention will be one of the
most important of the fraternity and
one of the most successful. Changes
in laws made by the last Grand Aerie
| have been in effect one year and it is
expected the reports of Grand Aerie j
officers will deal with the results,)
which are said to be very gratifying.
These reports will show that the fra
ternity has made satisfactory progress
along all lines.
'I he climax of the convention will be
I reached Thursday, August 17, when a
grand parade will take place.. More
1 drill teams, marching clubs and other
uniformed bodies will take part than
ever before in the history of the fra
ternity. They will be augumented by
' members of military and civic organ-]
izations of Savannah. There will be
many floats in the parade, some of
which will be sent by Aeries as far
away as the Pacific coast. Merchants
of Savannah will enter a number of
floats and one section will be devoted
to an exhibit of the commercial and
industrial South. It is likely that pre
paredness will be a feature, as Aeries
have entered energetically into every
demonstration! of preparedness. Prac
tically every one of the 1,000 members
ot Savannah Aerie will march.
General Chairman William V. Davis,
of the Citizens Committee, has been
practically assured that a flotilla of tor
pedo-boat destroyers, torpedo boats,
submarines and probably a cruiser or
two will be sent here. It is expected
that sailors and marines from ship®,
and troops from Fort Screven and oth
er places will take part in the parade.
Most of the larger Aeries w’ill send
drum and bugle corps. Their bright
uniforms will add to the brilliancy of
the procession.
Arrangements to take care of the
vast number of visitors are being rap
idly completed. Thousands of persons
will come from the surrounding terri
tory to witness events on the program
and take part 11 the carnival at night.

WORST IS THE NOTE

“Continued from Page 1.)
as well as in removing the perils
v.hich Amerle t .tis residing along the
international boundary have borne so
kng with such patience and forbear
ance.
The note recounts several typical
border raids, declaring Carranza’s ad
herents and even soldiers of the de
facto government had participated
therein. The statement then follows
that requested to Carranza that he
stop these raids were futile, and that
Mexican bandits enjoyed the freedom
of many towns and even received, ac
cording to authentic advices, the pro
tection, encouragement and aid of the
de facto government.
Pancho Villa, after his famous raid
on Columbus, the note says, passed
within sight of Casas Grandes and the
Carranza garrison stationed there did
not attempt to stop him and to inter
fere with his flight before the United
States troops sent in pursuit of the
raiders. “In the face of these depreda
tions,” says the note, “the perpetrators
of which General Carranza is either
I unable, or possibly considers it inadvis
able, to apprehend and punish, the
I United States had no recourse but to
tmploy force to disperse the bandits.
The necessity for immediate action
caused American troops to cross the
border without permission from Car
ranza."
The employment of force upon the
part of the United States, it is declared,
has attracted more attention from Car
ranza than any form of agreement yet
undertaken to be reached. All efforts
in the direction of pacific agreements
between represntativs of the two gov
rnments have accomplished practically
nothing beyond the promise of the
Carranza authorities to arrange Mexi
can troops so as to stop raids into
American territory by bandits. The
failure of the Carranza administration
tc stop the raids, leads the government
of the United States reluctantly to
conclude that the de facto government
‘ never did and does not now intend
or desire that the outlaws be captured
or destroyed,” says the not.
The causes and objects of the puni
tive expedition sent into Mexico under
command of Brig.-Gen. Pershing arc
then recounted, and denial made that
any promises were ever given that no
more United States troops would be
sent across the border in pursuit of
raiders. Charges that the American
ixess agitating intervention by the
government of the United States, han
hampered Carranza in his efforts to es
tablish a stable government in Mexico
are met by the counter charge that the

Mexican press has been more active
than American newspapers in foment
ing trouble between the two govern
ments. The note further declares that
the establishment and continuance of a
thorough censorship by the de facto
government in Mexico makes it impos
sible for Gen .Carranza to avoid direct
responsibility for newspaper utter
ances published by authority of the
Mexican authorities themselves.
The communication was handed to
Senor Arredondo personally by an at
tachee of the state department, being
duplicated in English and Spanish, and
every facility will be afforded the Mex
ican representative in this country to
transmit its contents direct to Gen.
Carranza at Mexico City.
Recruiting in Fifth.
ATLANTA, Ga., June 20. —Recruits
are being enlisted rapidly in the va
rious companies of the Fifth regiment
of the National Guard of Georgia in
preparation for departure tc the Mex
ican border. •
The Fifth regiment, which consists
entirely of Atlanta companies, needed
only 300 men to bring it up to the min
imum peace strength, and nearly half
this number applied for enlistment
during Monday.
Indications are that the regiment
will not only be recruited up to the
minimum peace strength, but will go
far beyond that quota, which is 65
men to a company. Full war strength
provides for 120 men to a company.
After leaving Atlanta for the Geor
gia mobilization camp at Macon, the
TUESDAY, JUNE 20, 191$
regiment will leave a detail of recruit
ing officers, in case additional men are
needed.
