There are indications from recent
n«ws reports that in some sections of
the country, well defined localities, the
majority of th citizens do not realixe
that the United States—Our Country
—is actually at war, and that a large
number of troops fcre »t the front
liable to be engaged with the enemy
at once. Such is the case, and that
great noble institution, the American
National Red Cross is depending on
the people of thsi country to help pre
pare for any emergency, in the gen
eral plan to provide adequate and
necessary hospital service for our men
as it is needed. Everybody in this
country should join the Red Cross
Society and back up the National of
ficers with liberal support, that they
be not hampered or hindered in do
ing everything possible for the relief
and comfort of our defenders of the
Democracy. Every soldier wounded
in this war will be wounded for us,
here at home, let us help at least to
make him comfortable and get him
nursed back to health.

Mexico May Join Allies in
War on the Germans.
El P*»o, Tex., July 5.—Sine® the
pro-ally campaign in Mexico was first
started by El University in Mexico
City, the sentiment favoring the allies
has reached northern Mexico and, dur
ing the past 30 days, a well defined
movement favoring an open break
with Germany and the alignment of
Mexico on the side of the entente al
lies has developed. This has been in
spite of the pro-German sentiments
published daily in Chihuahua City,
and in other papers believed to be
subsidized by the Germans in the
north.
A reflection of this sentiment was
seen recently in the statement by
Gen. Francisco Gonsalea, acting com
mander-in-chief of the northeastern
military zone with headquarters at
Chihuahua. He was overcharged by
the German firm of Ketelsen and Dag
eteau for some padlocks. The mana
ger was arrested and placed in the
penitentiary. The German consul
made a demand for his release "in the
name of the imperial German govern
ment and the kaiser," according to an
Anscrican officer who was present at
the time.
"Tell the German consul he, the im
perial government and the kaiser, may
all go to hell," General Gonzales an
swered.
Prominent Mexicans in close touch
with the capital, predicted Mexico will
declare war on Germany within 30
days. According to these men all
German money U Mexico City, Torre
on. Chihuahua City and other banks
and all German boats will be seized
as soon as war in declared.

"Victory Liu m Um Air

or Mm* Ficktwc PW"
Baltimore, Md., July B.—Dr. Joaapli
I. Amu, prafMMr of phisics at John*
Hopkins university ind ckainnui of
tha commission of sciantiata appoint
ed by thia »<iv»rnm«it to study til*
conduct of tha war in Franca, • La tad
hara tonight aftar • numKar of confar
ancaa in Washington, that apaad and
•isa of aaroplanas will and tba war
moat quickly.
Ha said tha L'nitad Htetas must
furnish 10,000 pilots and at tha lowaat
20,000 aaroplanas and maintain this
avaraffa in tha faca of eaaualtiaa.
Each pilot, ha said, must hava two
planaa.
"The situation," said Dr. Ames, "is
summed up In an interview which I
had with General Smuts. He said:
The decision lie* in tae air and com
plete victory can only be won by 10,
000 or more fighting airplane* with
which enemy aircraft can be annihila
ted. Thin achievement will be Worthy
of America and is a contribution
which she is capable of making and
will give an enviable position at the
peace table.'"
Dr. Amas said the program must be
carried into effect before the close of
this year. He said no difficulty was
anticipated in getting pilots and that
the three classes of planes, this coun
try is able to furnish the school and
observation planes, and would be able
to furnish fighting planes before 1918.
He said the American people cAi
not appreciate the tremendous scale
on which things are being done abroad.
"To illustrate," he said, "in some
places the British battle lfhe in France
is 40 miles deep, and I have seen trains
of motor lorries 20 miles long and a
train of nine-inch guns six miles
long."
Speaking of the general work of
his commission, he said:
"Zeppelins which are useful as nav
al scoots have been a complete failure
at military weapons. "'
"Another problem was the location
of big guns by means of waves. To
illustrate the value of research along
this line in the battle of Messines 63
big guns were located and destroyed
by this means. The location of mines
is important. Wireless telegraphy
with airplanes; methods of detecting
submarines and offensive and defen
sive devices for undersea craft, and
new optical instruments are other
matters which had to be studied."
The other members of the commrais
sion were engaged in equally valuable
research work, and Dr. Ames told of
the work.
"Dr. Hultelett, of Princeton, devoted
his time to an investigation of offen
sive and defensive gas warfare," he
said. "The Germans at first used gas
clouds. Now they employ liquified
gases used in shells in ordinary guns.
Twenty per cent of the shells used
now contain lethal passes. Gas masks
and the training oY our troops to
guard against gas and offensive meth
ods for ourselves along these lines
were also studied by Dr. Hultelett."
Invisable ink for secret messages
and the means of detecting its use was
also investigated by Dr. Hultelett, Dr.
Ames said.
Brazil's Navy Begins
Hunting For Submarine*.
Washington, June 30. — Brasil's
navy has begun co-operating with th«
American fleet in vjuU) American
waters in hunting down German »ea
raiders and watching for German sub
marines.
Sending a special diplomatic mis
sion to Braiil to arrange for greater
co-ordination of forces and the closest
possible co-operation of the two gov
ernments is under consideration by the
United States.
Coincident with the inauguration of
Brasil's naval operations a plan for
protecting her merchant ship* in their
voyages to allied ports with fro*en
meat>i and ether foodstuffs has bean
put info effect. •
Whether H axil will suplement her
action by a formal declaration of war
is not known here and by some officials
fcuch action is regarded as doubtful,
because the government at Kio de
Janeiro 1* inclined to regartj iu action
rather defensive than aggreanv*.

Are Yea eae ef Them?
There are a great many people who
would be very much benefited by tak
ing Chamberlain's Tablets for a weak
or disordered stomache. Are you one
at them ? Mrs. M. R. Seal, Baldwins
; ville, N. Y., relates her experience in
the use of these tablets: "I had a bad
I spell with my stomach about six
' months ago, and was troubled for two
! or three weeks with gas and severe
I pains in the pit of my stomach. Our
j druggist advised me to take Cham
berlain's Tablets. I took a bottle
j home and the first dose relieved me
wonderfully, and I kept on taking
1 them until I was cured." These tablets
| do not relieve pain, but after the pain
I has been relieved may preveDt its re
currence.
