ZEPPELIN CRITICISES
HIS ENGINEER CORPS

Romanshorn. Switzerland, April S.
Count Zeppelin Is not satisfied with
the name in which his airships are
being handled. He called together one
day this week his engineers and the
captains OF the dirigibloS now At the
Zeppelin works at Friedrichshafen,
and criticised them on several scores.
The count said that the full power
OF the ZeppeliEs had not been en-
ployed and that longer raids than any
made heretofore were possible. He
also said that there was too much Of
= disposition to await favorable
weather conditions. He believed that
an attack upon London had been de-
layed unnecessarily. The count also
is understood to have criticised his
captainh for ~rctreating from hostile
airmen.

in spite of all sorts of medicines.
This wretched condition continued

Grape-Nuts.
Il had little faith, but procured a
pkg. and after the first dish l expert
enced a peculiar satisfied feeling that
l had never gained from any ordinary
food. l slept and rested better that
night and in a few days began to grow
stronger.
II had a new feeling Of peace and
restfulness. In a few weeks, to my
great JOY, the headaches and nervous

MEXICO BANKRUPT;
STARVATION NEAR
State of Anarchy Has CurtaiIed
Production - Nation Soon
Must Appeal to Charity
of the World.

Mexico City, April 6.-A report pre-
dieting that Mexico faces a serious sit
uation respecting her fOod supplies has
been made by a committee Of Amert-
cans and other foreigners here who
have been Investigating the situation.
The report in part is as follows:
-Four years Of almost continuous
fighting throughout the various parts
Of the republic has produced q condi-
ton OF affairs in the o supply situa-
ton so serious as to threaten a famine
of such proportions as to necessitate
world wide aid. The fact that farm
hands have everywhere been thrown
into sO-called armies, that farm ami
mails have been utilized for like pur-
poses, that leaders of rowing bands
marching under banners containing
fantastic legends about liberty and the
rights of man, which they use as a
blind to facilitate robbery, pillage and
murder, have so reduced the crop
acreage that by November, 1915, there
will be a shortage Of SO, $40, 900 bushels
Of corn alone, not to mention the other
absolutely necessary cereals, are now
we'll known 20 those investigating, who
have made a careful study of~this phase
OF Mexico's ills. u.
"That the effects of this wanton de-
struction are only just beginning to be
felt is due to the great productive riches
Of Mexico's agricultural regions, where,
It's said, the farmer has but to scratch
the soil and drop his seed, while God
and sunshine do the rest. But self
seeking and self-appointed military
leaders have for so long a time pre-
vented the farmer from even scratch
ing the soil over 30 great an acreage
that Mexico is about to reap the whirl-
wind she has sown."
The statement goes on to show that
there is only enough corn to last until
July !. The purchasing power of the
peso Is decreasing. The nation is
bankrupt. Charity alone a save mil
lions.

ed that he thought he could not knock

Ringside, Havana, April 5.--Jess Willard, the
Kansas cowboy, is the new heavyweight pugilist of
the world. He knocked out Jack Johnson i'm the
26th round of their championship bout here today.
1t was JOhnsOn's fight all the way until the 22nd
round, when his vitality left him because of the hard
pace, which he carried throughout the early rounds.
Then the giant plainsman opened his heaviest
attack and i'm the next few rounds carried the fight
AVA from the black man and tOppled him over with
rights and lefts to the body and blows to the face.
Seventeen thousand persons saw the combat and
when Johnson crumpled up on the floor from a fierce
right swing to the jaw, the crowd burst into the ring.
Soldiers cleared the ring.
johnson took the referees count while lying on
the ropes, but the moment after Referee Welsh had
given the decision, the former champion got to his
feet i'm time to escape the wild rush of excited spec
tatOrS.

place of business in the ballroom
of a Cleveland lodging house.
When Minnie received in return
a statement that the demand
for movie actresses exceeds the
supply she lost no time in for
warding So to land her a job.
But when all correspondence
from Cleveland had c e e d
after the SO had been sent, Min
