HUMANITY LEAGUE FLAYS BERIiSTORFF FOR ACTIONS HERE

ROTTERDAM, April 24. Dutch papers print the contents of a circular issued by the German Humanity League, in which a bitter attack is made against Count von Bernstorff. German

ambassador to the United States and

others. In part, it follows: "The speech of President Wilson In the American congress and the pastoral letter of Cardinal Mercier, archbishop of Mailnes, constitute evidence whereon every German caring for honor and justice may strike a blow against such infamous scoundrels as Admiral von TirpiU, Count von Bernstorff and General von Biasing, the German governor-general of Belgium, as well as their agents who .have disgraced the nation and branded us with

crimes without parallel in ancient or

modern history. The international law

code6, the laws of hospitality and the usages of war as well as every decent

obligation of human society, have been set at naught in the United States by Count von Bernstorff."

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. April. 24. Alt heme nf thn immediate caoture of

Francisco Villia, dead or alive, has been abandoned by the American expedition, which . entered Mexico for the one purpose of destroying the scourge of the border. This much was admitted today by army officers when they found that General Pershing's punitive expedition had been had been turned into a defensive organization. The Washington announcement that General recommendations for a "redisposition" of the American troops in Mexico had been approved was taken here to Indicate that conditions south of the border would become similar to those which preceded the withdrawal from Vera Cruz. General Funston to Leave. It is expected that General Funston will soon leave the border and that Major General Scott, chief of staff, w ill remain here. General Scott has altered his plans for immediate return to Washington. If Fun6ton goes south, he probably will go into Mexico to inspect the American positions there. He has as yet received no official notice that General Obregon, Mexican minister of war. is coming to the border to confer with him. While admitting that the pursuit of Villa was at a standstill, if not absolutely abandoned. General Scott today failed to make clear the object of retaining troops in Mexico. When asked the purpose of the decision reached at Washington he replied: "Ask Washington." In the reply to an inquiry as to whether the resolve to keep the United States soldiers in Mexico meant ultimate intervention, General Scott replyed: "Ask Washington."

Ezra Meeker, pioneer, of the Oregon trail, who Is on his way to Washington preparatory to his retraveling in the ripeness of years the trail followed to the west in his youth, stopped in Richmond Saturday night. He will make the trip in a schoonermobile which was recently completed for him at the Pathfinder automobile factory, Indianapolis The schoonermobile has a regular automobile chassis with a body that resembles an old prairie schooner.

The automobile which Mr. Meeker has chosen to make this journey resembles as nearly as possible the old prairie schooner in which he made his first trip to Washington, D. C. and the type of wagon used some sixty years ago by settlers who migrated to the west. Although there is, of course, no use for the old tar bucket, since there are no wooden axles, it is found in its accustomed place just behind the back axle. The machine has the swayback bed, which doubtless gave the name to the old prairie wagon, being boat shaped. The inside makes

a small but comfortable living room. There is a small stove which furnishes heat and a place for the old pioneer to

do his cooking. Travel Creates Road. "Farmer" Meeker explained that as a highway of travel, the Oregon trail is the most remarkable known in history. Considering the fact that it originated with the spontaneous use of travelers; that no transit ever located a foot of it ; that no level established its grade; that no engineer sought out the fords or built any bridges or surveyed the mountain passes; theat there was no grading to speak of, or any attempt at metaling the road, "and the general good quality of this two thousand miles of highway will seem most extraordi-

However, th latest American note has apparently left little ground for the hope of such a compromise. Many publicises and statesmen advance the opinion that Germany needs the friendship of the United States

and that the empire can little afford to lose the hundred i million dollars worth of German ships now in American ports. If there should be a break these vessels would unquestionably be seized by the United States. The loss of shipping, however, is a

the Mexican border, the very moment it becomes certain that, additional troops must be sent forward. The only thing that will prevent this will be a settlement of tht German situation. Should the coming German note be such that President Wilson can accept its provisions then the 13,500 coast artillerymen who can be used as infantry will be rushed to the border.

They found him sitting upright back of the broken steering wheel, in an unconscious condition and bleeding profusely from wounds about the head and neck. While the minister was being given the first aid treatment Frank Wilson of this city arrived on the scene in his automobile and the Rev. Laughlin was taken to Reid hospital in Wilson's car. An examination at the hospital revealed that the minister had suffered a fractured jawbone.

necessary for the payroll to operate the mine. Further than this, it is declared. Fowler agreed that the Matthew Addy company should become the selling agents for the Templeton Coal company. The charge is then made that instead of having a- thirty-acre mine of virgin coal, the company owned a mine that had been operated for several years, and only about two acres of coal remained in this, unmined, and the property was practically worthless. Because of this Ford and James Albert Green, president of the Matthew Addy company, went before the grand

jury. Attorneys Charles M. Leslie and Nelson B. Cramer, who represent Fowler here, called at the prosecutor's office and stated that if their client is allowed to give bond here he might waive requisition papers and return willingly. Judge Caldwell at once fixed bond at $2,500 and it was decided that if Fowler refuses to come Assistant Prosecutor Louis Fernberg will start at once for Springfield, III., with requisition papers upon the governor of that state.

THIN PEOPLE GAINED WEIGHT QUICKLY By Following This Simple Suggestion Thin men and women who would like to increase their weight with 10 or 15 pounds of healthy "stay there" fat should try eating a little Sargol

with their meals for a while and note

results. Here is a good test worth trying. First weigh yourself and measure yourself. Then take Sargol one tablet every meal for two weeks. Then weigh and measure again. It isn't a question of how you look or feel or what your friends say and think. The scales arnd the tape measure will tell their own story, and many thin men and women we believe can easily add from five to eight pounds in the first fourteen days by following this simple direction. An-d best of all, the new flesh stays put. Sargol does not of itself make fat. but mixing with your food, it aims to turn the fats, sugars and starches of what, you have eaten, into rich, ripe aft producing nourishment for the tissues and blood prepare it in an easily assimilated form which the blood can readily accept. Much of thts nourishment now passes from your body as waste. But Sargol works to stop the waste and do it quickly and to make the fat producing contents of the very same meals you are eating now develop pounds and pounds of healthy flesh between your skin and bones. Sargol is - safe, pleasant, efficient and inexpensive.

found in each large box. Adv.

present site. These plans win be submitted to the commissioners -within the next month, and final action taken at that time. Level Bridge Opposed. Commissioners, said Saturday, that they believe the sentiment throughout the county is opposed to a high level bridge, which would cost approximatetwice the amount of a bridge at the same site and would entail extensive litigation with the railroad company as well as with the property owners, since much property would necessarily damaged both east and west of the river. Pressure has been brought to bear on the commissioners within the last few weeks by business men on West Main and on East Main between the river and Seventh street who say that the closing of the Main street bridge has materially affected business, particularly the transient trade which now goes across the Doran bridge. One of the principal reasons for taking immediate action on ordering plans for the bridge and getting the work

starred as soon as possible is to relieve the strain on the Doran bridge. Commissioner Cheesman 6aid Saturday that unless some permanent arrangement is made to relieve the traffic situation on the Doran bridge, it will have to built there and that every month of delay in building the Main

street bridge means that much shorter life for the Doran bridge

How to Heal Skin-Disease

A Baltimore doctor suggests this simple, but reliable and inexpensive, home treatment for people suffering

.with eczema, ringworm rashes and similar Itching, burning skin troubles. At any reliable druggist's get a Jar of resinol ointment

and a cake of resinol soap. These are not at all expensive. With the resinol soap and warm water bathe the affected parts thoroughly, until they are free from crusts and the skin is softened. Dry very gently, spread on a thin layer of the resinol ointment, and cover with a light bandage if necessary to protect the clothing. This should be done twice a day. 'Usually the distressing itching and burning stop with the first n treatment, and the skin soon becomes clear and healthy again. Sample free, Dept. 4-R, Resinol, Baltimore, Md. Adv.
