(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Washington. July I.—Optimism M
;o the business outlook reported to-
4ay In ths federal reserve board's
monthly statement of conditions was
tempered with renewed warning
•gainst undue-speculation.
"In nearly all ths district*," ths
board's statement raid, "the opinion
Is entertained that the prospects for
a successful and prosperous ysar
with very largo-JWtput of goods and
almost unprecedented financial re-
turns both to manufacturer*, agricul-
turists and laborers now are possi-
ble. Tha^posaihlilty that speculation
may be carried too far and may exert
an Injurious Influence, aided and fur-
thered by the existence of free credit
and speculation tendencies, appears
as the principal offsettnlg Influence
on the situation."
Prloea Go Higher.
Prices continued to rise through,
out June. The board's statement
showed an enormously heavy de-
mand for goods for export had ren-
dered products in many lines scarce.
In nearly all districts it was reported
business men had decided they could
rely upon heavy demand and contig-
uously sufltefhed prices for some time
to come,- white a feeling of appre-
hension, entertained early in the year,
was disappearing, jobbers and retail-
ors readily entering into Urge com-
ihllmentsTrff fall and ■Writer.
" In many respects the agricultural
prospects of the early spring are be-
ing more than justified. Wheat,
corn, cotton, tobacco and Pacific
coast crops will be harvested In rec-
ord quantities Livestock continues
high In price.
8teel and iron experienced a dis-
tinct turn for the better. The fuel
situation has been much below nor.
mat, with prospects of a tight situa-
tion next winter. Metal mining indus-
try was again improvnig.
Manufacturing Picking Up.
Manufacturing likewise took an
upward turn during June. Demand
for fine cotton goods exceeds pro-
duction. Shoe factories are produc-
ing at maximum capacity, while
" heavy demand from Europe has
drawn 'off much of the available sup-
ply. Wool products are sold ahead
for months. Automobile manufac-
turnig is running in many plants at
record levels.
Building shows continuation of the
revival noted In previous months.
Heavy buying of lumber by retail-
ers has become general. There is
much trading in houses and business
property. "The labor situation has
now reached a distlnotly advanced
stage of full employment," the board's
statement said In commenting on em-
ployment conditions.
"There is apparently no present
condition of unemployment; Indeed,
many industries report they can not
get the men they need, while wages
are fully up to past levels or higher.
The requirements for farm help are
absorbing surplus labor in practical-
ly all parts of the country. There is
some surplus of unskilled workers
in some centers, but this Is not dif-
ferent from the conditions in normal
times. No reduction in wage scales
is now foreseen.
"One of the principal problems In
the labor situation noted by thought-
ful observers is the fact that clerks
and office employes, as well as other
workers, receiving more or less fixed
incomes, have not yet participated
In the advance in wages. Improve-
ment for these classes of workers
will be necessary If prices are to
continue at their present level but
will, of course, add correspondingly
to the coast of business to the gov-
ernment
Soldiers Get Jobs Back.
"Returning soldiers are being
rapidly and steadily absorbed into
business and the problem which for
a time seemed to threaten in this
connection la now apparently min-
imised in all lines. From the farming
districts particularly, comes the re-
port that the supply of labor Is scan-
ty and likely to prove more so as bus-
nless progresses."
Government credit was reported in
good condition as evidenced by the
high and raising markets for Liberty
Bonds of practically all Issues, par-
ticularly Victory notes.
London, July I.—The air ministry
has received a report from Command-
or Scott that at S:1S Qreeirwlch
mean time (4:IS p. m. New Tork
time) the dirigible R.S4 was flying
westward at SO knots, 2,000 feet above
the sea.

the clouds and enjoying brilliant sun-
ahine. Commander Scott expect* to

Colonel Frederick W. Lucas, In
charge of the Brltlah admiralty ar-
rangements for the reception of the
dirigible R-14 after its flight acroes
the Atlantic, announced tonight that
unless unusually heavy winds or
atorma were encountered the dirigible
would arrive over Roosevelt field
early Friday afternoon.
No attempt would be made to lanS,
he aald, until about » o'clock in the
evening, becauie too much hydrogen
gaa would be waated in making a

ever, that • with favorable wlnda the
giant craft will arrive Friday morn-
ing and land Immediately.

night for the dirigible's reception.

the handling of lighter than air
craft and seven provisional army

posal of the British officials who will
direct the landing and mooring of the
R-S4. Motion pictures showing the
dirigible rising and alighting from
her home field will be shown to these
men for instruction purposes.
East Fortune, July S.—The British
dirigible R-S4 started on her long
heralded trip to America this morn-
ing with very little more of ceremo-
ny than that which attended the de-
parture of dirigibles for their monot-
onous North Sea patrols during the
War.
Shortly before the first streaks of
day broke over the plains near here
the great airship was .quietly taken
out of its airdrome and turned
around until her nose was pointing
straight west. The command "Hands
offl" was given and the huge envel-
ope quickly arose. Before the height
of SOO feet waa reached she was lost
sight to view In the mist
The whirr of the propellers could
be heard for several minute* after
the aeveral hundred foot airship went
out of sight
Not more than a score of people
motored the twenty-one miles from
Edlnburg to the airdrome here to wit-
ness the Start, but among them waa
one American woman who presented
a silk American flag Lieutenant
Commander Zachary Lansdowne,
American flight commander, ju«t
fore he stepped Into the gondola.
Rockaway Beach, N. Y., July t.—

met off the American coast by wel-
coming United States naval aircraft?
including the dirigible C-4. and sev-
eral seaplanes, which will escort the

CONTINITCS TO ROAST MR.
BURLESON.
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Chicago, July 2—The strike of
telegraphers which began June 11,
was called off at noon today by S. J.
Konenkamp, president of the Com-
mercial Telegraphers Union of Amer.
ica. President Konenkamp. who re-
turned from Washington this morn-
ing, called off the strike after he
had conferfed with other offlqjals of
the union.
A statement addressed to the
member* of the organisation by
President Konenkamp read in part:
"When the present strike was de-
clared against the telegraph com-
panies under control of the wtre ad-
ministration It was to be the final
protest against the unfair and un-
just treatment we have received
since August. 1118 at the hands of
the wire administration.
"We realized that In order to
make this protest effective it would
be necessary to make the strike suf-
ficiently acute to compel action.
This does not seem possible now
either through our efforts or the
efforts of others we relied upon to
help u»- Acting upon this conclusion
and with a view to serving your
best Interests. I hereby declare the
strike at an end and you are In-
structed to work without further de-
lay.
"You have sought a minimum of
the things which the present gov-
ernment administration saya all
workers should enjoy. You have not
only been denied these rights but
governmental agencies have been
used to prevent your getting them
by exercising your own economic
strength.
"Despite all his high sounding
words, the fact remains that Bur-
leson haa fought us and aided the
telegraph companies at every turn
and hi* party must take the blam«."

Refugee From Villa Ahumada Give*
New Detail* On Situation in Mexico.
Arrive* in El Paso—Store Looted.
(Associated Press DIapatoh.)
El Paso, Tex., July 2.—Franclsoo
Villa ordered all American* hanged
when captured following the crossing
of the American expedition, aocord-
Ing to a foreign resident of northern
Mexico, who reached the border to-
day.
He sent a train to Villa Ahumada
to capture Americans known to be
there and the refugee said, was so
bitter toward them that he threatened
to kill Hlpollto Villa, his brother, be-
cause of Hlpollto's professed friend,
ship for them, according to the refu-
gee's statement.
Villa and Martin Lope* quarreled
after the retreat from Juares, he said,
and divided their forces.
Thi« statement was made by Don-
ald .B. Best, a British subject who
owns a large store at Villa Ahumada.
War On American*.
"With A. M. Tenney, an Amerloan,
I left Villa Ahumada June 1$, for
the border after Villa had looted my
store," Mr.- Best said. "I returned
to Villa Ahumada June IT, after Villa
left there for San Lorenzo, and was
told by my native store keeper, the
munlolpal president, Manuel Ortega,
and a number of townspeople, that
Villa sent a guard to kill Tenney and
m* and later rode to my house In
person, apparently for the same pur-
pose. He ordered my Mexican store
keeper to stop working for me, think-
ing I was an American, and threat*
ened to kill him If he oontinued in
my employ. He said then he was
going to hang all the Americans he
caught and was looking for me to
make the first example of this pol.
ley."
Villa Reported III-
Best said HlpoIUo Villa was seri-
ously 111 In the Be*? home in Villa
Ahumada when Villa threatened him
and the leader's brother wa* forced
to leave In a small cart for the Ojlnaga
district to save his life. Villa and
hi* band looted the Best store of 1,000
pesos in cash and B.000 pesos worth
of good* and also robbed hi* residence
he said. The Villa rebels looted the
Erupclon mine and warehouse, carry-
ing off everything portable and
smashing valuable assay scales. The
mine Is near Villa Ahumada and
owned by Americana
The British merchant gave the first
detail of a break between Villa and
Martin Lopet as related by Mexicans
who said they were present.
"Villa's men held a meeting at
Villa Ahumada, a Mexican friend told
me," Best said.
"They voted to depose Villa in favor
of Angeles, who then was at Sama-
layuca tearing up the railroad to pre-
vent American troops from pursuing
them south. Villa Ahumada officials
told me.
"Next day Oeneral Qulroga w|th a
federal force arrived at OJo Calfente,
having come south. Villa sent Martin
Lopes to engage them south of Villa
Ahumada. Lopes was defeated. Vil-
la withdrew from the town, the na-
tives said, reorganised his demoralised
forces, which had been reduced from
1,000 to 400, by deaths, wounds and
desertions, and sent Lope* against the
Taquls a second time. Defeated
again, Villa Tetlred to the Santo Do-
mingo ranch, leaving his wounded be-
hind. There Martin Lopes denounced
Villa, according to the statements of
witnesses."
Calls Villa a Liar.
"Lopez pulled his pistol, covered
Villa and called him a liar, a Mexican
who was present told me," Best said.
"Lopes was apparently ^ngered be-
cause Villa had made a speech to his
men before attacking Juares, felling
them the Americans were friends of
himself and Angeles, that the Amerl
can Red Cross would care for their
wounded and everything would be fine
for them after they had taken the
Juares port. Lopes announced he
was through with Villa, cursed hl:u
and said he was going to 'look out for
himself In the future and would have
nothing more to do with Villa.
"Villa sent for Angeles at 8»ma-
layuca but left for San Lorenzo de
Carmen before we heard whether
Angeles reached Villa's camp. Villa
also threatened to burn the ranch
buildings at Santo Domingo, but Lo-
pes stopped him, Mexicans told me."

SAYS TROUBLE WITH MEXICO
CAN BE SETTLED IF WE
TRUST TO CARRANZA.
New York. "3Kily 2.—On the eve of
sailing for France, General Candido
Agullar, son-in-law and personal rep-
resentative of President Carransa of
Mexico, declared tonight that differ-
ences between the United States and
Mexico would be settled amicably If
the American people would trust In
the "good faith" of the Mexican gov-
ernment, would not magnify and give
undue credence to "every tale of vio-
lence that purports to come out of
Mexico" and would uphold their own
officials In Washington In their effort*
to "smooth out difficulties."
"The Mexican government," he
added, "has no desire to confiscate
property of mine owners. We are not
so simple minded or unreasonable to
suppose that any good could come
from such a policy. We are rather
looking toward a taxation system that
will be fair and equal to all whether
they be Mexican or American.
"We feel that the great natural re-
sources belong to the people but we
have no desire to and shall not dis-
turb the private owner so long as he
works the resources. He Is the legal
owner.
"For the purpose of taxation the
companies have been ordered to re-
port to the government the number
of wells they are drilling and the com-
panies do not want to do this. What-
ever may be the merits of this con-
tention they will be seriously consid-
ered by the Mexican congress. What
Americans can do is to make these
facts known and the wider the field
over which they are known the better.
"The true status of affairs has been
made known to the state department
and the facts can be given out only
by that department or by the Mexican
foreign office."
Friends of General Agullar gave
him a farewell dinner this evening at
which the "Pro-Mexico society" was
formed of prominent Mexican resi-
dents here. Jose Merla, vice president
of the Empire Mexican Oil company,

Paris, July 2.—The Polish forces 'n
Saturday started a counter offensi' o
along the whole Gallclan-Volhynlan

slstance and that the Lemberg-Hallcz
Stanlslau railway line Is again In Pol

The enemy suffered severe casual-
ties, S,000 prisoners, thirty machine
gun* and huge stores being captured.
It seems that the Ukrainian* were
everywhere taken by surprise and
gave way at all points. The Poles
occupied Urody, Plochow, Tomerxeny
and Brzezany, taking 1,000 additional
prisoners and much booty.
The Letnberg message saya that the
Poles have pierced the Ukrainian

eased here, It Is understood, contem-
plates giving Ttaly certain colonial
possessions, probably in Africa, In re-
turn for her support of the peace con-
ference decision In the Adriatic set-
tlement.
The suggested solution has not been
made public as yet, but the Idea has
advanced that either France or Great
Britain might make at*eh concessions
In Africa and this la being considered
tentatively. It i* impossible, however,
to predict what territory might be af-
fected aince It is generally admitted
that Great Britain and France would
prefer to make some other sacrifices.
Italy, also. It is aald, desires to ac-
quire rights In Asia Minor, but It Is
pointed out that the attitude of Greece
offers difficulties in that direction.
