The White Star freighter, which was under orders from the British admiralty and carried a cargo of war -supplies estimated to be worth near- , ly a million dollars, was supposed to be under convoy of a warship because of the importance and value of her cargo. It is regarded as possible that the attack might have been made in the , presence of an English man of war. .. The belief here at. the time news of the sinking of the ship was received was that tiiere were no American citizens on board.

The Temiterance League of Clear- Held county has made an appeal to the Superior Court of Pennsylvania from Judge Hell's decision of April 24, granting- to the breweries and wholesalers or the count> licenses. The attorneys tor the Temperance League have asked to have the date for the hearing advanced to one in the near future to prevent the establishments Irotn doing business an> long'i than possible, says theDultoAs Courier.

Council in adjourned session last night fixed the borough millage at 15 mill's, a jump of two and one-half mills over that of 1915, when the millage was 12 1-2. Tin' raise as recommended by the finance committee and adopted unanimously by council came after | long anil careful deliberation. When the present council went into ottice it' faced u rather disagreeable situation, that of a floating indebtedness of a considerable amount. It was evident at that tinif unless the property valuation increased in the city the millage must go up. The assessed valuation is slightly if any greater than it was two years ago. The valuation of the hotel properties decreased considerably and the raise on other properties did not boost the entire valuation sufficiently to meet tile city's needs. The city is growing and expenses are necessarily going up. The tax for 11)15 is apportioned'as follows: cash, seven mills: light, four mills: water, one mill; sinking fund, three mills. The school board recently levied its tnlllage for the year placing it al 20 mills, a raise of four mills. The borough and school millage now totals 35 mills. ""Last year it was 2t! 1-2 and the total boost is <> 1-2 mills. The county millage is six mills, the same as that for 1915, so that the tax upon those who aren't fortunate enough to have money at interest is 41 mills.

In/ an official statement issued with the announcement that the militia had been called on for active service, Secretary fll War Baker stated that th* outbreak in the Big Bend district of the Rio Grande and the dariger, of other outbreaks made it imperatiW that more troops be called intoaertoce. 7,000 IN ADDITIONAL FORCES 8Mttl)tftpe6Us with the Order pending the militia to Ahe border, the nar Dep«rt«ieiit ordered to the front practically all of the infantry remaining in the United States.

MEXICO PROTESTS AGAINST MORE TROOPS MEXICO CITY, May 9.—It Was officially announced here late last night that steps had been taken to prevent the entry of more American troops into Mexican territory. There is no explanation of this act, which appears contrary to a statement made just previously that the de facto government was cndeavoriiig to settle amicably the crisis arising out of the Glen Springs incident. First Chief Carranza holds the view that the Mexicans responsible for the latest raid into American territory are "enemies of Mexico as wcH as the United States." , j He believes that the attack on the border towns carried out last jjiday night should not justify the sending of more United States tfoops into Mexico. £•.;$ MARATHON, Tex., May 9.—Eight American employes of a ' mitve south of Boquillas, who were reported to,have been captured aud carried off by the Mexicans who raided that district Friday night, are sfklc.
