Col. Roosevelt Rallies
To Gen. Woods Defense
In Spirited Statement

NEW YORK. Aug. 2-Colonel
Roosevelt has come spiritedly to the
defense OF Gen. Leonard Wood, who
was reprimanded by Secretary Of War
Garrison for permitting the colonel to
speak at the Plattsburg camp.
He issued the following statement.
Nearly three weeks ago 1t was an
nounced In the public press. the state.
ment being carried prominently in
every big newspaper. that In addi-
ton to President Wilson and Secre-
tary Garrison some scores Of private
citizens had been asked to 20 to the
Plattsburg camp, where It was ex-
pected they would speak to the men.
1T is. Of course, impossible that Sec
retary Garrison can have been ignor-
ant that we were asked. and Il he
desired General Wood to notify us in
advance what we were expected to say
or leave unsaid. 1t was clearly his duty
to direct the general accordingly.

Glad to Recommend
FruitOlQ and TrQxO
Mrs. Noforth Says She Suffered
With GdH-Stones for Several
Years Without Relief.

In letter to Pinus laboratories,
Mrs. Rosa Norforth, Monticello, ILL.,,
says: 81 cannot praise Fruitola and
Traxo too highly as consider it

stones for several years and could

me as I will be only too glad to rec

Fruitola and Traxo are the names
used to identify two preparations
that are taken in combination. Fruit
ola acts on the intestinal organs as
powerful lubricant, softening con-
gested masses and disintegrating
the hardened particles that cause so
much suffering, and cxpelling the
accumulation with almost instant re-
lief. Traxo is a splendid tonic, act

Carranza's Rebuff to the Sign
ers Of Pan.American Appeal
May Be Ignored.
DENIES CAPITAL IS STARVING
villa Bureau Here Reports the
Re.occupation Of Imuris and
MagdaIena.

Carranza's latest rebuff to the sign.
ers Of the Pan-American Mexican ap-
peal may be ignored.
Secretary Of State Lansing declined
to state today whether he would re-
ply to the first chiefs arrogant de-
mand Of the sisners as to whether
they represented their respective gov.
ernments or had acted simply as in
di%iduals. That Carranza was en-
tirely aware Of the capacity in which
the Pan-American conferees were
acting is regarded as certain. 1t Is
thought likely that his message Of
yesterday was simply another play
for tirpe.
But whether the Carranza inquiry
is answered or ignored, there is every
evidence that the United States will
not wait much longer before taking
action. The State Department today
gave hint Of this when officials there
stated that Secretary Lansing might
not wait until copies Of the appeal had
been delivered to all the leaders in
Mexico. Those whose delivery has
not been reported were addressed to
leaders in inaccessible portions Of
western and southern Mexico, includ
ing General Zapata, Villas ally.
