They will, however, bow to the

made it known that he wishes to
conduct under government super
vision one of the most exhaustive
investigations Of this subject ever
given to condition of the govern

It was predicted by some Of the
opponents Of the currency legisla-
ton that the banks themselves
would spoil the proposition by re-
fusing to join in the movement,
but the Washington outlook dis
pels this as "bum bet." While
every banker always has a better
way than his neighboring banker
to handle financial matters, yet
there are none of them that permit
any OF the benefits of government

result is that almost without ex-

SITUATION IN MEXICO
Demands Of Rebels are Outlined.

Demands Of Rebels are Outlined.
A battle lasting several days took
place last week at Oiinaga. Mexico,
close to the American border. between
the federal garrisoo of 1000 and az
attacking force of constitutionalists
under General Ortega. Heavy losses
were reported on both sides.-
General Villa, head Of the consti.
tutional armies has been planning a
concentrated move against Mexico
City and desired to crush the federals
at OJinaga first in order to leave nC
enemies 10 his rear.
The rebel demands for peace are
summarized as follows:
The elimination of General Huerta
and his supporters.
The complete surrender to the
Constitutlonalist cause of politicians
now opposing it.
The restoration Of the constitution.
The selection OF provisional
president acceptable to the Constitu.
tionalists and provisions for a popular
election.
Guarantee of a change ia the land

more generally distributed.
Ratification Of the conflscation by
the rebels Of the vast Terrazas, Creel
and other estates. valued at many
millions Of dollars.
Nulliflcation Of all acts OF the Hu-
erta regime.
Opinions of General Villas advis.
ers were that General Huerta will
not resign and that the rebels must
adhere to their original plan Of fight
ing their way to Mexico City.
The Spectator of London. COM
menting on the Mexican situation,
states that President Wilson under.
took In way to intervene, yet did
not intervene, that he has not put q
stop to the blo0dshed and anarchy
and will not let anyone else do it,
and that things have come to such a
pass that no combination OF the
powers can intervene, aud the United
States must take the matter In hand
alone and restore peace. or sacrifice
the Monroe doctrine.

vARIcosE VEINS.

Their Causes and Effects and The
Treatment Thsy Require.
A varicose vein is an enlarged and
twisted vein. generally In the leg. It Is
caused by stagnation of the blood.
Often the patient has hereditary pre-
disposition to varicose veins or he has
weak heart with consequent tend

Anything that interferes with the
dow Of blood through the veins may
bring on an attack. Pressure from q
tight garter and very severe muscular
exertion are often exciting causes. Per-.

Washington.-A new campaign
manager has come to Washington,
and she is at the head of the con.
gressional committee of the Ma.
tional American Woman's Suffrage
association. The lady is Mrs.
Medill Mccormick of Chicago,
daughter Of the late Senator Mark
Hanna. Medill Mccormick has
been somewhat Of politician on
his own account, but there is more
or less Of a suspicion that his
charming wife had urged him on.
Mrs. Mccormick has for severa.
years been an active sutfragette,
and she has established a wide
reputation because of her work in
behalf of votes for women.
Uncle Sam has figured out that
the death rate during the past year
has been 1879 per thousand popu-
lation, showing that notwithstand-
ing the high cost of living and the
increased sporting proclivities Of
the American people, that they
live longer than in 1917, when the
rate was I4.2 per thousand. In
figuring out where one can reside,
and live longest. the state of
Washington seems to be the health
zone, as the death rate recorded
in that state was g. per thousand.
Minnesota comes next, with q.8
per thousand; while the mortality
in Maryland, New York and Rhode
Island exceeded % per thousand.
Seattle, Washington, is the most
healthful city, according to its
mortality statistics, of any city in
the Union, for 81 per thousand is
the death rate. Albany, New
York, has a mortality of 1875 per
thousand.
Champ Clark declares "there is
a big business move coming on as
sure as shooting" He finds a
possible cure for panics through
easy money for the small mer-
chants and manufacturers Of the
country, resulting from the recent
currency legislation, which he be-
lieves is a panacea for all the
banking evils that have existed
since the days of shin plasters in
Missouri.
Iowa is to be the scene OF con-
gressional election in the district
of the late Mr.. Pepper. The con-
gressional campaign committees
of the old parties find it extremely
delightful to have an opportunity
for activity in single districts in
off years, largely for the reason
that their campaign revenues
measure up to about that size.
When it comes to general national
campaigns these committees find
their consolation in the wonderful
memory Of other wonderful days,
when corporations and interests
knocked the heads out of the bar
rel and split their money into the
laps Of the bosses.
Vice President Marshall used
little Of the language of the streets
in describing the trust situation,

are eating out of the attorney

Vaudeville Beats ShaksDere.
Almost every dramatic writer in the

stinted praise in his production of

for the ctor-manager during the re-
