AMERICAN CONSULS
MAY LEAVE MEXICO
State Department Notifies Them
to Be Ready.
AMERICAN CITIZENS WARNED
Secretary Lansing Issues Precaution.
AIRY lnstructions-VilIa's Repre-
sentative Announces His
Surprise.

hington.-American consuls in
Northern Mexico, which now has be-
come the chief battle-ground between
the contending factions, have been adj
vised by the State Department not
only to notify American citizens to
withdraw from the danger zones, but
to leave Mexico themselves in the
event that conditions become intoler-
able. Secretary Lansing described the
instructions to consuls, which were
issued several days ago, as simply pre-
cautionary on account of the disturbed
conditions. They are similar to those
given to American consuls in Europe,
whenever the contending armies draw
near cities previously untouched by
the fighting.
The rapid advance of General
Obregon's forces into Northern Mex
leo and frequent reports of lawless-
ness on the border for which General
Villa has disclaimed responsibility,
have led to the present measures, ac-
cording to State Department officials.
The only formal announcement on the
subject was as follows:
Owing to disturbed conditions pre-
vailing along the Mexican border, the
department repeats the advice hereto
fore given to American citizens to re-
main on this side of the international
line for the present"
consuIs May Leave.
AS soon as American citizens have
withdrawn there will be no necessity,
in the opinion of high officials here,
for the consuls to remain, but it was
denied that they had been ordered to
leave, discretion being vested in the
consuls themselves.
The notifications have extended to
consuls in Torreon, Chihuahua, Her
mosillo, Guayamas, Nogales and Jul
arez, all of which are in the territory
controlled by Villa. 1t is expected
that before another week or two most
of the Americans will have withdrawn,
tonight indicated general exodus.
At the Villa Washington agency news
of the departments action was re-
ceived with unconcealed surprise and
resentment Enrique c. L.Nrente,
Villas representative, announced that
he had addressed a communication to

prise and inquiring as to the intention

Officials of the Navy Department
express the opinion that the ex-
plosives were struggled on board
under the guise of baggage. This,
they say, could easily have been done
as there is apparently no way of
identifying the particular piece of bag
gage, especially if certain pieces are
marked in the name of the person to
whom they do not belong and are yet
taken aboard as legitimate freight

agents and those of the Treasury De-
partment will begin an investigation

Letter From Edward Dinner

Santa Ana, Calf, May IL, 1915
Mr.. j. Z. Walker,
Yale, Mich,
Dear Friend:-You no doubt by
this time are thinking l do not intend
to write you, but haven't, so here goes.
Well, John, will try and tell you
something about this country. Don't
miss paying this state a visit, you will
never regret it if you do. | have bought
3A acres Ia miles from Garden Grove,
while Santa Ana, Orange and Anaheim,
all having population of over 1000,
are only seven miles from us, and all
connected by concrete boulevards. Ask
Mr. Beers about our roads. Santa Ana
is the county seat of Orange county, is
our postoffice and has population Of
about 10000. We are only seven miles
from the ocean and the breeZes keeps
it cool here in the summer time.
One can ride for miles and miles over
concrete bouleyards, through orange
groves and English Walnut orchards
and flowers of every variety. Every
thing lives out doors the year around.
We had some frosts the fore part of the
winter but nothing seemed to be injur-
ed.
We are using new potatoes from our
own patch now and did not plant till
after Mr.. Beers and Will returned home.
We are also feasting on strawberries.
They sell for and boxes for quar-
ter. We bought crate of 30 boxes for
one dollar and have sold as low as 45c
per crate. The Japs raise the most of
them. They have them about nine
months in the year, but If | remember
right you don't like strawberries. Ha
ha.
l am putting few orange blossoms
in this letter so you can imagine what
a fine perfume comes from a grove all
in bloom. Chill peppers and lima beans
are grown quite extensively around
here. Oranges are selling for a good
price now. One man / know sold five
acres for 5000 and did not have to
touch them. 1t is the Valencia variety
that are ripe now, the Navals are
about all gone.
Write me when you can. We are all
well and hearty.
From your friend
Edward M. Dinner.

IMPORTANCE OF HEALTHY KIDNEYS.
Yale Readers Should Learn How To Keep
The Kidneys Well


The kidneys have big work to do.
All the blood in the body is coursing
through the kidneys constantly to be
freed of poisonous matter. 1t is a
heavy enough task when the kidneys
are well, but cold, chill, fever or
some thoughtess exposure isl likely to
irritate, inflame and congest the kidneys
and interrupt the purifying work.
Then the aching frequently begins
and is often accompanied by some ir-
regularity of the urine-too frequent
passages, sediment or retention.
Thousands testify to the wonderful
merit of Doan's KidneyPills, a remedy
for the kidneys only, that has been used
in kidney troubles 80 years. You will
make no mistake in following this Yale
citizens advice.
Jesse Bullock, farmer, r. i. ID. No.
L ale, Mich, says: 81 had bad attack
of backache some months ago and the
trouble had become so severe that l
could not stoop. / was advised to try

They removed the trouble and | give
them the credit for making a perma-
nent cure. L have had no sign of kid.
