President Has Heart-tO-Heart Talk With Ambassador and Tells Him Army Movement Is Only
 Maneuyers

Washington, March 20-Whatever del icacy may have existed in the relations between the United States and Mexico American troops In a state contiguous to the Mexican frontier was swept away it is believed, by the heart-to-heart talk between President Taft and the Mex ican ambassador, Senor De La Barra at the White House today
 The President confirmed assurances which he gave the ambassador before leaving for Augusta, Ga, that Mexico need feel no alarm over the movement of troops to Texas. Ambassador De La Barra went away well satisfied with the conference and sent a long telegram to- night to Senor Creel minister of foreign affairs at Mexico City explaining the sincere and frank expressions of the American government as made to him by President Taft.
 The ambassador was among the first to ask for a conference with the Pres ident on his return to the White House today and he was cordially received. The ambassador, who from the outset has been anxious to convey to President Taft the sentiment and attitude of the people of Mexico on the present situa- ton, explained, it is said to President Taft the comment with which the mob ilzation Of troops had been received in Mexico during the absence of the Pres- dent from Washington. The President reiterated to the ambassador that the latter could allay any misconception in his country over the movement of the troops with the assurances that the sol diers were sent to Texas for maneuvers and for the enforcement of the neutral ity laws.

No Official Announcements

Neither the Mexican embassy nor the White House would make any official an- nouncement of the conference beyond the fact that assurances with regard to the concentration of the troops had been re- peated by the President, but the opinion. prevails here tonight that the President also explained fully to the ambassador the nature of the intended maneuvers. Fur thermore, it is believed that the Mexican ambassador was informed that as soon as the maneuvers have been completed the troops will be recalled in sections and within the next four or five weeks.
 Both General Wood, chief of staff of the army, and Huntington Wilson, the acting secretary of State, called on the President today. the former making q detailed report on the progress of the en- tire troop movement to date.
 It was evident today that the Presi- dent was gathering all information pos- sible regarding the Mexican situation be- fore going into the cabinet meeting to- morrow which will be the first that will have been held for two weeks, and the first which the new Secretary of the In terior, Walter L. Fisher, will attend
 Greatly refreshed and prepared for strenuous executive actively before Con- gress convenes in extraordinary session on April 4, President Taft returned today from his ten days vacation at Augusta Ga The President accompanied by Mrs. Taft and Secretary Norton, arrived in Washington at o'clock and went direct to the White House.
 The President will take up at once the preparation of his message to Congress resubmitting the Canadian reciprocity agreement. He expects to confer with senators of both parties regarding the work of the special session, it being his desire that the Canadian reciprocity agreement be ratified, and the tariff board bill be passed. That it is declared by the President, is al the wants done at this session. He would prefer that Congress defer any proposition on tariff subjects until the next regular session.

RDS THE SYSTEM
OF SCROFUA

Scrofula Is q disease usually
manifested in childhood, though
some who are uictims of the trouble
reach manhood or wommhood be-
fore there is any manifestation of
the trouble; but no matter at what
age it shows, the disease germs are
in the blood, and until they are re-
moued there cannot be a healthy
condition of the body. The ordinary
symptoms of Scrofula are swollen
glands about the neck, scalp dis
eases, skin affections, poor physical
Development, etc. S. S. S. has
curedthousands ofcases of Scrofula.
It's the greatest of ell blood pui-
fers, and by going down into the
circulation and removing the germs
and poisons, and ennching the blood
by the creation of nutritiue corpus
cles, S. S. S. makes a permanent
cure. S. S. S. is a purely vegetable
remedy, made entirely of health
giving roots, herbs and barks, and
is perfectly safe for persons of any
age, or those in delicate conditions of

S. S. S. to a child, following direc-
