note w as very brief but shows Carranza’s sincere desire to
work with the United States. It announces the tie facto
government s favora >!e attitude towards tin* mediatmn
suggested b;. the Latin American republics but it leaves it
entirely to the United States to say whether or not this
method or direct negotiations will be relied upon to solve
the situation. It is clearly evident that l arrunza will go
as far as he can to keep the peace and the feeling that war
will not occur is growing. It is stated oiiicially that this
government is willing to continue the negotiations with
Carranza in view of the latter’s desire to keep friendly
relations.
CARRANZA CONCILIATORY
WASHINGTON. July 3.—The reply of Carranza to
tlu two formal notes from the United States is now ready
and a verbal synopsis lias been made public with the con
sent of Ambassador Arredondo, the Mexican minister to
this government. The condensed report indicates that
Carranza in the reply shows an unexpectedly conciliatory
attitude and the feeling is more optimistic as a result. '1 he
full context may be available some time today.

THREE BALL GAMES
Seward won ea >'y from Fort 1 s
cum in the >eeond and third games
of the series. The margin wits so
great in both eases that too much of

erous a> it would 'how too many er
rors on the part of the visitors. I*
must be remembered that they wore
playing on strange ground.

ALL WILL FAY A
SMALL SI M TONIGHT
The management of the Carnival ,
dance tonight has found it necessary ;
to charge admission for each persi n j
attending, ladies as well as men, as it j
might be impossible otherw ise to dis* j
11aguish them in their masquerade j
costumes. For this reason the price j
of admission has been placed at the j
low figure of fifty cents each, which |
really amounts to the same thing as a J
man paying one dollar for himself and
lady.

GREAT OFFENSIVE ( ONTIM ES
BERLIN, July 5—A violent battle is raging on both

SLAV PATROLS IN Hi NGAItt
LONDON, July 5. — Russian cavalry patrols have
icrossed the Carpathian mountains and have entered
Hungary. A wireless message from Bucharest sa\ > that
the patrols advanced from Kimpolung and entered Hun
garian territory Tuesday. They cut telegraph wires and
blew up buildings in which food and munitions were stor
ied. The news that the Russians have again reached
Hungary has caused a deep impression in Bucharest and
j-; supposed that the raid was meant specially to show
Hie Roumanians that the allied forces have once more be
come threatening. It is expected here that the elfevt on
Koumania will be at least to prevent it from aiding the
Central powers.
LITTLE CHANGE IN WEST
LONDON, July ■">. — The dispatches from the front
tiffs morning show that little change has occurred on the
lines where the French and British offensive movements
arc taking place. They also show that the Germans have
brought great reinforcements from other parts of their
line and are stubbornly contesting every yard of the
British advance. It is assumed, however, that our armies
ar.d these of the French are still maintaining their oifen
sivc with, unabated fury. __
CELEBRATES FOURTH
WITH MANY FINE CONTESTS
The Fourth of July, llftb, pa.-sett
off with the brightest success iniagin-,
able in Seward. The sun shone;
brightly and warmly and the contests
in all classes were most interesting.
The second ball game of the series'
with Inscum was pulled off on Monday!
evening and resulted in a win tor j
Seward that was so easy that it sug- j
gests the visitors were not in the
best form, in yesterday's game Sew-:
ard also won and it may be forgiven;
to a Seward paper to say what it ha*
said since last year, and that is that
Seward hall players could probably
meet any team in Alaska. The lirst
event to take place on the Fourth it
self was a delightfully interesting
but a most disagreable circumstance
is recorded in connection with it; The
general committee of the Fourth do
dined to give the prizes for this event
which had been promised. Some ex
cuse was found, such as saying the
entries were confined to dub mem
bers. It is the only unpleasant * cir
cumstance so let it pass. Balderston
and Baughman tied for first place
with 20 birds each out of 25 and two
others tied for second with 10 each.
About thirty men shot. The shoot
off ought to bo a splendid contest
Bolen won the Marathon in 55 j
minutes 12seconds, about seven min
utes faster than the time of last
year. Walters came second and it is
stated that on the homo run he was
ahead of Bolati at the creek hut had a
hoard across a certain place which en
abled him to make a cut off and so get
in ahead by only some seconds.
The board gained about 20 or 4**
seconds for him. Taylor was third
and young Madsen got fourth. It
was a fine race and ought to become
famous. Two visitors, Bogart and
Gifford, the latter a member of the
Fort Liscum ball team, were amongst
the winners of the day. The parade
was quite a credit to a town of this
size and ought to be dealt with in de
tail were it not for the fuel that great
events are occurring o'ut.side ami can
for ail the space that can be given
them, The school children, the lire
men, the veterans, ball players and
all the others made a very line show -;
ing. The boats were pretty and the
whole scene was much enjoyed. Re
fore the Marathon race the Repara
tion of independence was read to the
people by Veteran Hawley but no
speech was delivered.
