CONSUL REPORTS EVACUATION

PEACE FARLEY is HELD
CLEARING HOUSE ASSOCIATION
DECIDES TO AGAIN REOPEN
MEXICO CITY BANKS.
western Newspaper Union News Service.

Mexico City, Aug. 12.-The Clearing
House met Tuesday and decided to re-
open the banks which were ordered
closed. This step was taken in view of
the fact that Congress failed to dis
solve and President Carbajal had not
decided to resign. =
1t is reported that the Brazilian min
lister, who, together with the ministers
of Great Britain and Guatemala, and
the French charge d'affaires. left the
city on special train to visit General
Obregon, the constitutionalist leader.
at his headquarters at Teloyucan, and
had gone beyond that town to point
not made public, where he will meet
General Carranza. chief of the consti-
tutionalists.
1t is stated that the minister will
spend the night with Carranza discuss
ing with him the capitulation of the
capital.
On his return here the Brazilian min
lister will lay before President Carba-
jail the results of the conference.
Despite the active military prepara-
tions made last night and the state
ment of General Velasco; minister OF
war. that I'VE will fight until the last
man dies before we will evacuate un-
conditionally." those persons well-in.
formed still believe that the peaceful
capitulation of the city is probable.
Washington, Aug. 1.-THE peaceful
transfer of the reins of government
at Mexico City from the Carbajal ad
ministration to the Constitutionalists
has actually begun, according to of
ficial advices to the State Department
from Consul Silliman. now en- route tc
the capital with General Carranza.
The consul said the Federal troops
evacuated the capital, leaving the city
in charge Of municipal police. who by
agreement were to be regarded as
neutral. The Federals withdrew from
the city to nearby point, there to
await an announcement OF amnesty
from General Carranza. Should guar
antees be refused. officials here do
not doubt that a counter revolution
will be Immediately set in motion.
With the entry of the Constitution
alist forces in Mexico City. the Ques-
ton OF recognition for the new gov
ernment will confront Washington.
There is every reason to believe that
recognition would be withheld until
there is an election or political con-
vention at which-some expression of
the people toward the new government
can be obtained.

present in Germany outside the Aus

OLD ENGLISH STOCK IN
EASTERN KENTUCKY

President Frost, OF Berea College, in
the Quarterly issued by that useful in
stitution makes some extremely inter-
esting statements. They go far toward
confirming the frequently heard asser-
ton that the purest Anglo Saxon stock
in this country is to be found in the
mountainous districts OF Kentucky
and Tennessee.
President Frost declares that in the
thirty-five counties of eastern Ken
lucky there are to be found but 1000
foreigners and $4,000 negroes in a
total population of 581,SS1. In six
counties only are there more than one
hundred foreigners, and in sixteen
eonnties there uare less than ten. In
only Ave counties do the negroes ex-
ceed 1000, and in twelve counties
there are less than one hundred
These are extremely interesting fig
ures. They relate to a section of the
country which President Frost, using
a self-coined phrase calls superrural
district. meaning thereby that the In
habitants live in remote locations
where communication is infrequent.
Here the original English and Scotch
settlers have reproduced their kind
generation after generation. 1t is said
by investigators that many OF the
ancient English ballards are still pre-
served in practically their original
form in the Kentucky mountains.
The superrural districts are now,
thanks to the public. awakening to the
needs of popular education for the
mountaineers rapidly coming into
closer touch with the outside world.
The experiments with night schools
for adults have met with amazing sue
cess. The old feuds are dying out.
Moonshine whiskey is disappearing.

are being spread abroad The fierce
clan spirit Is being turned away from
the passion for destruction to better
things. Thus in 1.-THE Land of Do

FOUR MARINE DISASTERS
OuTRANk EMPRESS

The loss OF life on the Empress of
Ireland has been equaled or exceeded
by only four marine disasters in the
last century. These were the loss of
the Rhone, Wye and other vessels at
st. Thomas in the great hurricane of
October 20. lS47. when 1000 persons
perished the burning of the excursion
boat General Slocum in the East River,
New York, on June 10, 1904, with an
Appropriated loss OF 1000 lives; that
most terrible of all marine disasters OF
modern times, the loss OF the Titanic
on April IA, 1912, which sank after col
lision with an iceberg with 1890 OF her
company, and the loss of the Kicke-
haru Off the Japanese coast September
2S, 1912. with loss OF 1000 lives.
Other disasters that approximated
in loss OF life the fatality list Of the
Empress OF Ireland were the Princess
Alice, sunk in collision in the Thames
River September 3, 1878. with loss OF
700; the Ertogrul,. foundered off the
Japanese coast September 16, 1890, loss

SAYS SULPHUR IS
sure TO RELIEVE
ITCHING eczema
Get an ounce Of bOld-suIDhur cream
and heal skin eruptions right up.

D
Any breaking out or irritation on the
face, arms, legs or body when accom-
panied by itching. or when the skin is
dry and feverish, can be readily over
come by applying little boldsulphur
cream, says a noted dermatologist.
He informs us that bold sulphur in
stantly allays the angry itching and
irritation and soothes and heals the
Eczema right up leaving the skin clear
and smooth. Bold sulphur has occupi-
ed a secure position for many years in
the treatment of cutaneous disorders be
cause of its parasite destroying prop
erly. Nothing has ever been found to
take ITS place in treating the irritable
and infiammatory skin affections.
While not always establishing perma
nent cure it never fails to subdue the
itching irritation and drive the Eczema
away and 1t is often years later be-
fore any eruption again appears on the
skin.
Those troubled should obtain at any
pharmacy an ounce OF bold-sulphur
cream which is applied to the affected
parts in the same manner as an. ordi-
nary cold cream. 1t isn't unpleasant
and the prompt relief afforded, partic-
ularly in itching Eczema, proves very
welcome.
