A few blocka farther west Is the
picturesque rectory, standing quite

LIVES IN HISTORY
Old Town of Westchester Saw
Stirring Times in the Days
of the Revolution.
THE visitor to the village of
Westchester, N. Y, which, by
the way, Is the oldest In all
Westchcstor county, should
glance at the old village store, Just
west of tbo causeway. Across the
cauaoway Is a hill occupied by the
Presbyterian church, the same spot
whoro the British let up a breastwork
to defend themselves In the right of '76.
For old times' sake a stranger would
want to walk out the Pelham road a
little way, to loe what remains of the
famous "Spy Oak." It is a tragedy to
see this monarch among trees decapl
tatod now; Id wonderful height,
gained proudly In Its life of centuries,
has been hewn, to that its old friends
almost weep at the sight. It Is said to
measure JO feet In girth at the ground,
where Its roots spread.
A British spy, caught by vigilant
Americans, was hanged to Its branches,
ays tradition; and, furthermore,
itraugo wallliigs of that British ghost
were said to be audible after dusk.
Walking west from the village
square a short distance one comes to
old St. Peter's church, the fourth I

From 1683 to 1768 Westchester was
the shire town. The village wai set
tied In 1642 by Throckmorton (for
whom Throg'i Neck wai named, who
arrived from Massachusetts with a
group driven thence along with Roger
Williams. They procured permission
to make their homes at Westchester,
settling 25 famlllei there. The Dutch
had called the ipot Vredeland. moan

name had something to do with at

committee.
Washington, D. C A demand for
the immediate release of the American
troopers taken prisoners at Carrizal,
coupled with a Btern notification that
the United States expects an early
statement of the purposes of the Car
ranza government was telegraphed to
Mexico uty bunday by Secretary Lan
sing.
The note discloses that the State de
partment received Saturday a commu
nication from the de facto erovernment
stating that the Carrizal fight was the
direct result of orders to attack Amer
ican soldiers moving otherwise than
toward the border, personally issued
by General Carranza to General Tre
vino and by the latter communicated
to General Pershine.
In reply. Secretary Lansine reauires
that the de facto government transmit
a definite statement "as to the course
of action it has determined unon"
through the usual diplomatic channels
"and not through subordinate military
officers."
The Mexican communication is con
strued, Secretary Lansing states, "as
a formal avowal of deliberately hostile
action against the forces of the United
States now in Mexico and of the pur
pose of attack without provocation
whenever they move from their pres
ent position" despite the friendly mis
sion on which they are engaged and
which is reaffirmed in the American
rejoinder.
General Carranza is required to
place himself on record formally and
the plain intimation lies behind the re
strained language of Mr. Lansing's
communication that force will be met
with force. Apparently, however, the
Washington government is determined
that the de facto lovernment shall not
evade responsibility before the world
ir war is forced UDon the United
States.
The note and the militarv situation
of the United States were talked over
at the White House by the President,
with the senate foreign relations committee.
After the conference, which lasted
more than an hour. Senator Stone aairt
the situation was"exceedinc-lvapnta "
