James St., Goodland, Ind., says: “I was taken with an acute attack of kidney trouble and distressing pains across the small of my back. I had but little ambition, and the least exertion tired me. I was nervous and In the morning when I first got up, I felt no more rested than when I went to bed. The statements I read about Doan’s Kidney Pills so convinced me that I finally began using them. I never took another medicine that gave such prompt relief. Two boxes completely cured the attack and I had no further trouble for some time. Then I at once used Doan’s Kidney Pills and they again brought relief.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedyget Doan’s Kidney Pflls—the same that Mrs. Warsher had.

HUERTA REFUSES SALUTE; FORCES U. S. TOWARD WAR

President and Cabinet in Special Session Consider Question—Congress to Act

MAYCALLNATIONAL GUARD If War With Mexico Ensues It Is Quite Sure National Guard and Volunteers Will Be. Used, Although They May Never Cross the Rio Grande—Papers Are Filled With War Talk—Recruits Needed To Bring Militia Organizations Up to War Strength. - * Huerta refused to salute the American flag, thus making a public apology for having arrested an assistant paymaster of the U. S. navy and several blue jackets who accompanied him to Tampico to get gasoline. After putting up with Huerta’s quibbling for more than a week Presideftt Wilson issued an ultimatum Saturday giving him until Sunday evening at 6 o’clock to fire the salute. He refused to comply unless Charge O’Shaughnestey, who had delivered the message, give him a protocol, pledging that the United States would return the salute.' The President was in White Sulphur Springs Sunday, where Mrs. Wilson, who is ill, had been spending a fortnight. He was kept advised by Secretary Bryan of the communication between Washington and the City of Mexico. He returned to Washington this Monday morning. A meeting of his cabinet was called for 10:30 o’clock and congress was to convene at that

FOR NAPOLEON AND FRANCE

The foolish infatuation of a youthful' soldier of France for a woman of high court standing, though flimsy morality, who seeks to so completely turn his head that she may use him to injure the country far which he had so valiantly fought is the basis of the romance that so absorbingly holds the Interest of spectators of “For Napoleon and France,” George Kleine’s latest phqtodramatic success, which will be the attraction at The Princess Theatre for Saturday, April 25th, afternoon and evening. This photodrama, with its unusual atmosphere of perfume and gunpowder, is in six parts and ranks with “Quo Vadis,” “Antony and Cleopatra,” and ‘The Last Days of Pompeii,” as entertainment of the first caliber. Romantically it is by far the most interesting. Capt. Robert Larive, a handsome atid unsophisticated young warrior, fresh froln laurels won on the battlefield, plunges into the butterfly life of French court, described as a whirlpool of iniquity where virtue and morality were strangers and intrigue and degradation were the fashion. He loses his head and his to a renowned beauty,

It is expected that not only will all Mexican ports be siezed but that marines will be landed and the railroads leading from the coast siezed. If a warlike attitude is taken, it is probable that the national guard will be called out and tliat organizations will be recruited up to war strength, which means that each company must contain 108 men. Able bodied men between the ages of 18 and 45 will be taken. The Adjutant-General of Indiana, Gen. Prank L. Bridges, in a communication with the local company commander this Monday morning urged the enlistment of recruits, and the armory will be kept open each evening and all who care to enlist can make application there. If accepted, the training will begin. Squads from nearby towns will be accepted and taken iwith the local organization if they care to enlist. The enlistment will be in the national guard for a period of three years. Should the guard be called to Port Benjamin Harrison, the members would be asked to re-en-list for active service. /No recruits are wanted who would not enter the active service ranks. It is probable that no- definite news will b# received here about the action •of 1 the cabinet and congress before this Monday evening.

.the toast not only of the court, but of the world, though secretly a political adventuress. , When she thinks his infatuation for her transcends his love for his Emperor and 'country, she attempts to use him to serve her questionable ends. The manner in which 'he escapes from her web, and her almost successful plans to cause his death as her price of vengeance, the preserving of his liberty and honor by the Little Corsican, and his reunion with his devoted sister and longlost father, who was nearly instrumental in sending his own son to death, are dramatically portrayed on the screen. Several magnificent scenes enhance the presentation of the photodrama. The reception and ball at the Paris home of Marshall Larive, Madame De Longueville’s apartments, and a ball given by another member of the court, are marvels in the line of photodramatic stage settings and costuming. These pictures are highly educational as they furnish us so vividly living illustrations of men and women of fashion, their costumes and uniforms, and the manners and customs that prevailed during the time of the First Consul. 0

THE FLAG WAS SALUTED BEFORE

And In All. Cases When a Flag is Saluted There Must Be a Return Salute. . National salutes are not made lot or iby any individual. It is nation to nation, and must be according to custom 21 guns, and if a warship is present she always does the saluting as she always represents tlrt entire nation. Forty-six years ago, just about this time of the year, while the U. S. S. Iroquois was at Kong Kdng, China, for repairs of damage suffered in a typhoon on the coast of Japan during the Japanese civil war. The Pacific and Oriental mail ship came to Hong Kong from Manila and the mail to the Am rican consul-general, at Hong Kong brought news that an American merchant ship had been detained and her captain and crew imprisoned at Maaila and the American consul refused the right to defend. The Iroquois, then the most available American warship, went to Manila, arriving there on the morning of May 1, 1868, and strange to say just thirty years before Dewey’s fleet entered Manila harbor on another mission of honor. The following account is from my recollection of the occurrence: When we arrived in Manila harbor there was a Spanish warship there and we saluted the Spanish flag, which was returned, by the Spanish warship. After an hour or so a boat went ashore and the American consul came on board and after council between he and our officers, a plan was decided upon. First an officer went with a message to hand to the proper authority, demanding that the captain and crew be given a fair trial and that the American consul be permitted to be present according to treaty rights. The officer returned and in the afternoon a message was received to the effect that the Captain-General, who was the head of the Philippines, gave notice, touching on several points and declined to interfere. Thgn there was another meeting of our officers and another officer of higher rank went ashore with an ultimatum. The time given to comply was 48 hours. After this Officer returned on board otir ship we weighed anchor and went three miles further out in the harbor, for military purpose, there to await the honored time given, 48 hours meridian time, 12 noon.

At just 9 a. m. the day the time was up and no reply *we cleared our decks for action, got everything in shipshape as ig always done on board warships in such cases, as if ready for battle. I will state right here, our object was to bear down on the Spanish warship and just at 4 bells, 10 a. m., the Hpanlsh flag was coming toward us and our military boat or picket as you may call it, met the Spanish boat and received the reply which was delivered by our officer to our Captain. The Captain-General agreed to our demand. Thgp there was a delay of several days until finally the court met and after two days’ trial the Spanish authorities could not establish a case against the Americans, there being no contraband of war at all found on the said American merchant ship. Then same the real issue. Our government made a demand from the government of Spain to indemnify the owners of the ship .at Boston, Mass., United States of America. Also to idemnlfy the officers and crew of the ship for Imprisonment, and last but not least, salute the American flag, to all of which they agreed except the salute. Again the limit t,hne of 48 hours was giv-

en. All this time our decks were cleared for action. Again, as is almost always the way, wait until the last hour, they came to time, paid the bilk and saluted Old Glory. Then we raised the Spanish flag to the main topmast and saluted it with 21 gun*. The time between shots is, or used to be, 5 seconds. Saluting is always blank shots. Then, after this ship bad discharged some of its cargo, she put to sea again for a Chinese port, after which we again returned to Hong Kfing and again back to Japan. This was the year of the Japanese civil war. They wanted to close their ports against ns. and the. world in general and also they were exterminating the Christian* 1 Japanese converts, which we also stopped as an aet of humanity. Up to this time Japan had ijgp emperors, the Mikado, or temporal head, and the Tycoon, or spiritaal head. Later the Tycoon’s army and navy (junks) were defeated on land and sea and he took refuge on an American man of war. Thus the war ended. Your valuable spaee and the patience of the publie prevents a more extended article at this time; but in conclusion will say It is unfortunate there is any telegraph wires between our Navy and Washington at this time. If there were no wires the President would not have to worry and the flag would be saluted just the same. Yon can always depend on your navy to uphold the dignity of Old Glory. Let us all Stand by the President JOHN O’CONNOR. Note-John O’Connor, former, sheriff of Jasper county, served for six years in the U. S. Navy, having on the occasion described above, made a trip around the world. Probably there are few men In the country so well posted in naval history as he and we are sure his article, which Is especially filling at this time will be, greatly appreciated by readers of The Republican. The situation in Mexieo is almost a parallel to the one he describes in Manila harbor. He speaks with knowledge In the matter of the return of salutes after another country his fired 21 guns as an apology. It will be pleasing to have other articles from Mr. O’Connor, from time to time.—Editor.
