L|MANTOUR SAYS
CRISIS IS GREAT
Admits Change of Attitude of
People Toward Diaz.
MAY BRING ABOUT REFORMS
Mexican Minister Declares Govern
ment Will, However, Continue Its
Military Program Against In
surrectos for the Present.

Mexico City, Mex.-Admitting that
the Diaz administration had no
definite plans for the solution of
the instruction problem confront
ing it, Minister of Finance Limantour,
stated that Mexico was facing more
serious crisis than he had ever be-
lieved existed
It has no alternative but to con-
tinue the military program upon
whech 1t has entered
Notwithstanding the governments
aggressive attitude, reforms which are
intended to remedy the alleged griev-
ances complained of are under con-
sideration.
The most important of these re-
forms is that relative to the revision
of the electoral laws. This is a con-
crete outline of the situation as pre-
sented by Mr.. Limantour to a news
paper correspondent today, following
a meeting of the cabinet.
That a great change in the attitude
of the people toward the administra-
tion has taken place within the time
that Minister Limantour has been
abroad was a significant admission
made by him. The administration,
he said, was conducting a searching
investigation to determine the exact
cause and to find a remedy for the
existing sentiment.
There is no disposition on its part
to oppose any wise reforms which are
demanded by a reasonable public. At
| the same time the administration does
not propose to accede to demands
backed up by arguments of arms.
! In a word, the administration recog-
nizes two classes in the dissatisfied
republic, one represented by the in
| telligent but non-combatant element,
and the other by the followers of
! Madero
For the latter, the administration
! has no terms other than those formu-
! lated at the war department.
! Such is the program announced by
Mr.. Iimantour as the result of con-
! ferences with the president and with
other members of the cabinet. Mr..
/ Limantour frankly expressed surprise
/ at the antagonism toward the admin
/ istration which he has discovered
! FL Paso, Tex.-Conditions in the
war afflicted parts of northern
Mexico are rapidly growing worse.
From north of Chihuahua City 225
miles to the border, and westward into
Sonora state, the insurrectos are sur
rounding the towns with view to in
duce non-combatants to join their
ranks and to keep supplies from be-
| ing taken from the country. Refugees
who are reaching the border declare
many non-combatants are facing star
walton.
An American connected with mine
near Casas Grandes said:
I'm few weeks, instead of sending
| troops into Mexico, the United States
will probably have to send relief
trains The position of non-combat-
ants is rapidly becoming like that of
| the 'reconcentrados' during the Cuban
| insurrection."
Within the last week Francisco I.
Madero, the revolutionary president,
/ is said to have increased his force
! from 1000 to 1900 men, all we'll sup.
! piled with ammunition He is report
ed to be operating to prevent General
Rabago from relieving the federal
forces who are besieged at Casas
! Grandes.

Built Church In a Day.

To build a church in a day was the
clever feat recently accomplished by
some $50 members of the Church of
Christ, says a dispatch from Mel.
bourne, Australia. The building, a
substantial, permanent, wooden
church with accommodation for over
300 persons, was erected within the
twenty-four hours at Preston, near
Melbourne, by volunteer labor. The
building began at one o'clock in the
morning, when the holes were dug for
the foundation posts, and it was CON-
pleted by acetylene gas light shortly
after eleven o'clock at night, when
the last screw in the door locks was
driven home The workers" included
some 80 skilled carpenters and 20
painters, who followed the carpenters
in their work stage by stage. Those
who could neither dig, paint, saw nor
hoist were busy feeding the builders.
Even the minister did his share of
digging. Thousands of enthusiastic
spectators watched the operations, and
miles of bioscope films were taken.
When the church was opened next
day it was found unnecessary to at.
tend to a single detail. Pews, gas
fittings, notice boards, pulpit, etc..
were all in position.

IN AGONY WITH ITCHING

About four years ago I broke out
with sores on my arms like boils. Al
ter two months they were all over my
body, some coming, and some going
away. In about six months the boils
quit, but my arms, neck and body
broke out with an itching, burning
rash. It would burn and itch, and
come out in pimples like grains of
wheat. I was in a terrible condition;
l could not sleep or rest. Parts of my
flesh were raw, and I could scarcely
bear my clothes on. I could not lie
In bed in any position and rest. In
about a year the sores extended down
to my feet. Then I suffered agony
with the burning, itching sores. I
could hardly walk and for a long time
I could not put on socks.
