BRITISH GGHDUGT
IF WAR DISCUSSED
Under-Secretary Tennant Replies
to the Criticisms Made by
'. Colonel Churchill.
IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS
Churchill in His NSpeech Criticized the
Army Administration, Saying; Too
Many Troon Were at Home
Doing: Nothing:
London, May 31. The vote for the
salary of Sari Kitchener as secretary
.'for war, in the House of Commons to
day, led to a discussion of the general
conduct of the war. In introducing the
vote Harold J. Tennant, parliamentary
.Under-Secretary for war, replied to the
speech made last week by Winston
Spencer Churchill, in which he said the
position of the British lines at several
points was disadvantageous and that
there were large numbers of men on
duty as grooms and officers' servants
who might be used to augment the
fighting forces.
Mr. Tennant pointed out that a large
number of men was reauired behind
the
lines to move up necessary sur-
plies. The war office, he said, already
had adopted the plan of replacing
younger soldiers with older ones, al
though .this could not be done in every
'case.
Servants Must Enter Fight.
As to Colonel Churchill's complaint
in regard to the large number of offi
cers' servants Mr. Tennant said these
men, like all others, had to take their
iPlaoes in the firing line. With regard
Ito the criticism respecting the great
;force of men kept at home, he ex
plained they were being trained with a
view to being sent abroad.
Mr. Tennant then referred- to Colo
nel Churchill's recommendation that
large bodies of troops be drawn from
Asia and Africa, saying it was an illu
sion to think such a thing possible.
In the first place there was not a
large number of men in those regions
Euitable for service as Soldiers in Tt
LEuropean war and even if there were
it would be impossible to procure offi
cers who knew the languages and were
able to command them. Moreover the
value of black troops was a very un
certain quantity and if Colonel Church
fill would look at the German papers
lle would see how pleased the Germans
fwere at the idea of having these troops
employed by the Allies.
In reply Colonel Churchill said that
. when he made his speech he had con
templated having these armies ready
.by September of 1917. He believed offi
cers could learn the languages by that
time.

purposes of peace for the re-construction
of ruined industries and cities, and
for the relief of the stricken markets
of Germany and Austria.
In addition to that, if we are in the
least intelligent and enterprising, the
great markets of South and Central
America, which have been clamorously
seeking us for the past two years,
will more than offset any possible loss
of war trade."
Defends Tariff Law.
Secretary McAdoo defended the Un
ider wood -Simmons Tariff law, declaring
that it transferred "a part of the bur
dens of taxation from the backs of the
;masses of the people to the ample
shoulders of wealth, which had never
(under the Republican system borne its
'0ust proportion of the burdens of gov
ernment. The Democrats system is the
fcjust system," he said. "The Republi
can system is the privilege system."
, Delighted with his trip to Chapel
jHill to deliver the commencement ad
ydress for the University of North Car

)this afternoon with his reception and
entertainment in Raleigh. In company
with Mrs. McAdoo, Mr. Talcot Williams,
!of the Pulitzer School of Journalism,
and Mrs. Josephus Daniels, they came
from Chapel Hill by automobile and

HON. JOHN BARRETT S PEAKS
His Address at Davidson College Com
mencement a Treat to the
Students.
(Special Star Correspondence.)
Davidson, N. C. May 31. One of the
greatest treats that has come to Ia
vidson college recently was the address
yesterday morning by Hon. John Bar
rett, director general of the Pan
American Union. Mr. Barrett delivered
a strong address on the subject, "The
Broader Responsibility of Our Country
for Young Men."
He expressed his pleasure and ap
preciation of the honor bestowed upon
him by saying that this was one of
two of the total of 25 invitations that
he had received to speak at commence
ments. In the course of his address
he .complimented Davidson for the men,
she had sent out from her walls dur
ing the 80 years of her existence, sug
gesting that no one can tell just what
influence the year that our honored.
President attended wielded to make
him the man of the hour for this great
land of ours.
Mr. Barrett spoke briefly of his own
younger days after he had made tfce,
statement that it was not the building,
endowment nor fame that means most
to a college but the men. Out of col
leges like this, he said, would come
the men that would be leaders in the
Nation.- Education Is the crying need
of the country. Twenty years the
United States was a land as it were,
wrapped in swaddling clothes, now she
is a world power. The Spanish war
awakened this country and in a few
years we caused the world to realize
our position. This position leads us to
the necessity of preparedness prepar
edness in education.
"Although I am a thorough born Yan
kee, yet I have a great interest in the
South," he said- "My mother taught
school in the South-before the War Be
tween the States and learned many
tales and traditions of the Southland
which she imparted to he children and
I first became interested in the South.
I spent one term at Vanderbilt to learn
Southern men." Because' of these rea
sons Mr. Barrett - said that he felt a
peculiar interest in the South.

Preferred Tanlac to Operation
States: "I Gained 9 Pounds and
Work Every Day. "
One of the strongest evidences of the
rapidly growing popularity of Tanlac
and of the wonderful results it is ac
complishing is in the large number of
letters .that are being received daily
from well known men and women
throughout North Carolina.
Among recent letters received was
one from W. B. Moore, well known man
of Dortch's, near Rocky Mount. It readsj

Love with the hospital and knife. A
month ago I consulted another physi
cian and he took me to a hospital and
had an X-ray examination, and put me
to bed and "phoned, my wife to come, as
I had cancer, and must be operated on.
They told me of it, and tried to make
me agree and stay, but I. did not.
My friends of Franklin County so
strongly advised taking Tanlac that I
bought two bottles.
That was May 2d. I have gained nine
pounds, am resting well, working every
day, eat and sleep like a well man.
My neighbors are as delighted as my
wife at the remarkable change. I have
advised many of my friends to take
Tanlac, and all are satisfied with the
results from it My brother in Wilson
County is as staunch a friend of Tan

I trust the benefit I have had so far
may be permanent.
Yours very thankfully.

condition that like permission would be
granted the forces of the United States
should a case similar to that of Colum
bus be repeated at any other point
along the frontier line.
"As a consequence of this proposi
tion, made in the Mexican note of
March 10, the United States govern
ment, through error and precipitation,
thought that the good intention of the
Mexican government was sufficient to
authorize it to cross the frontier and
without awaiting a formal agreement
ordered a large party of Americans to
enter- Mexico in pursuit of Villa and his
party. ' Because of this act, the Ameri
can government made most emphatic
protestations that it was acting in
good faith ahd that its only purpose, in
crossing the line was to pursue, cap"
ture or destroy the Villa band, and that
the act did not signify an invasion of
our territory nor an attempt to vio
late the sovereignty of Mexico, and
that as soon as a practical result was
shown by the expedition, the American
troops would be withdrawn from Mex
ican territory.

'"The Mexican .government had no
knowledge that American troops had
crossed the border- until March 17, and
this came from private sources in El
Paso. This' government then directed
a note ...to the American ; government
stating that inasmuch as no formal
agreement had been entered into be
tweert the two .governments the Amer
icans could not be considered as au
thorised to. send such an expedition.
"The Washington government ex
plained the sending of such an expediT
tion. . saying that , it regretted the at
titude of the Mexican government regarding-
the passage of troops across
the frontier ' in pursuit of Villa, and
that it was done in the understanding
that the former interchange of .notes
plainly implied the consent of the Mex
ico government without further for
malities. "The government of the United
States explained also that its attitude
was taken in view of the necessity for
rapid action and explained its willing
ness to receive any suggestions of the
Mexican government relative to -a for
mal agreement for the crossing of rthe
international line by forces of either
country.

discussing the agreement the Mexican
government insisted constantly that

country must be limited as to the num

"The American government refused
to agree on these points, but in its last
note, presented to . this -government,
agreed to accept in part these limita

be not applied to the Columbus expe

ment to send a vote under date of
April 12, suspending negotiations over
and agreements, in view of the fact
that the American government demand
ed that the Columbus case should be ex
cluded, and requested the - retirement of
the American troops," as they were in
Mexico under no agreement and as a
further reason because the Villa ban

upon the Monroe Doctrine as a policy
of all the Americas, destined not mere
ly to maintain their political Independ
ence but gradually to secure for them
that measure of economic and financial
self-sufficiency which is the logical
and necessary accompaniment of polit
ical independence. In the securing of
these great ends we must, with each
year, lay increasing emphasis on that
spirit of international co-operational
and mutual helpfulness which was. the
keynote of the Pan-American Financial
Conference In 1915 and which is now
the watchword of American policy.
I am anxious that you should see
the full significance of this movement.
It means that the Americas are sound
ing a new note in international policy;
that they have not only begun to see
but are acting upon the principle that
the welfare of each depends upon the
prosperity of all. It is your duty, as
well as mine, to hold high and un
assailable this new concept of inter
national relations. By so doi,ng we
will be performing a service to our
country, to the American continent,
and to the civilized world."
WEAR WOODEN SANDALS

Wooden sandals ar now being worn
to a great extent by the laboring
classes In Mexican cities and by na
tives enagd in farming, in place of
the old form of leather sandals used
by the Mexicans for many centuries.
They are being substituted for the
primitive homemade leather sandals be
cause of the scarcity and high price
of native tanned leather, because of
the scarcity of sheepskin thongs for
lacing and because the native Indian
is becoming more particular about the
appearance of his feet.
