.MADER0 BUYS ARMS
Americans Supply Mexican Govern
ment With War MunItiOn.
As RevoIufionists Have Not Beer
Recognized as 6elligerents, Neu-
trality Is Not Violated.

Washington, d. president Ma
dero, of Mexico, has decided upon
vigorous campaign against the rebels,
and the American government has
consented TO permit the shipment
from the United States of arms and
ammunition for his soldiers. These
important developments in the compli-
Gated Mexican situation were learned
here Monday.
1t is the intention Of President Ma
dero to repIenish his diminished army
with fresh recruits, throwing them
around the strongholds Of the rebels
The problem of arming them has been
simpIifed by decision of the United
States authorizing, by special permits
sion in each case, the Mexican govern
ment to buy munitions Of war in the
United States and ship them across
the border.
Under this policy three consign-
ments of arms and ammunition al
ready have gone into Mexico. The
Joint resolution of congress under
which President Taft's recent pro-
clamation forbidding the expectation
of munitions of war was issued auth
orized the president to make excep
tions at his discretion. The attitude
of President Taft, az explained BY
officials here, is to permit the Mexican
government to buy whatever it pleasei
in this country. This is no violation
of neutrality, it is added, as the bel
Iligerency of the revolutionists has no
been recognized
Extreme precautions will be takel
to prevent war supplies consigned t.
the Mexican government from falling
into the hands of the rebels, to whom
is denied the privilege of receiving
such materials under the president
proclamation
If the Madero plans carry, the rebe
force now operating in Chihuahu
soon might find itself on the defen
sive, being taken in the rear by
northern army and attacked in from
by the considerable regular army nov
at Torreon, composed of parts of tn
three columns originally dispatche
under as many leaders to attack Oroi
co.'s forces in the neighborhood of Oh
huahua-
Meanwhile the American army ar
navy remain idle, so far as Mexico
concerned.

Because Il Lowers vitaIity-What
to Do.
It is not the disease itself, but the
dangerous complications that follow
it, that people fear with such good
reason; the lingering coughs, the ter
rible weakness. and the liability OF
being attacked by pleurisy, pneumon'
ia or some other serious i'll.
We say it is highly important to
free the system of every trace of
grip an dnothing is so good for this
as Vinol, our delicious cod liver and
iron preparation which creates
strength and builds up the body.
Mrs. c. l.. Edwards. Long Brench.
N. j., says: Last February had
very bad attack of grip and it left me
with a terrible cough. For fully six
weeks I coughed a great deal. and
nothing had any effect on it, until I
tried Vinol which soon gave me re-
lief and has since brought about a
complete cure"
Can anything be more convincing
that Vinol is Just what you need to
build you up and make you strong?
We guarantee it most positively.
