PARIS, June 21.—Mexican legations
throughout Europe are today placing
Mexico’s case against the United States
before European countries, statements
from these sources appearing in Mad
rid and Paris afternoon newspapers.
These statements assert Gen. Persh
ing expedition which still remains in
Mexico crossed the border while ne
gotiations for permission to do so were
still In progress, and denounce the
continued presence of American troops
on Mexican territory.
The statements declare that state
ments to the effect that war is inev
itable because of Carranza's attitude,
due to German Intrigue, came from
American source* All of the state
ments conclude with a reiteration of
the claim that Mexico does not want

EDITOR MINE! COMMENDS
THE THIRD DISTRICT FAIR
Editor E. L. Rainey, of the Dawson
News, knows a good thing when he
sees it. He publishes one of the best
weekly newspapers in the state, and
his opinion is worthy of consideration
at all times, and especially pertaining
to matters agricultural, and of south
Georgia. In the current Issue of his
paper, he says:
"Americus is laying the foundation
for a most excellent district fair to be
held next fall on the grounds of the
Third District Agricultural and Me
chanical school. It is universally con
ceded that not one of the agricultural
schools in the state Is superior to the
ore presided over by Professor Colluro
ai d the counties that will furnish the
exhibits for the fair are ndmitted to
be the best agricultural sections of
Georgia, and the fair is restined to be
a magnificent success. This entire sec
tion should help make itso."
If the other editors throughout the
Third district will do as Wit or Bakg
has done, say an occasional moi wmi
for the fair, the results will be M,
and interest In a good cause will
been Justified.
