Washington, April l2.-The German
embassy made public Saturday the text

Washington, would be made by the

A laxative to-day saves sick child to-
morrow. Children simply will not take
the time from play to empty their bow
els, which become clogged up with waste,

Look at the tongue, mother! If coat
cd, or your child is listless, cross, fever
ish, breath bad, restless, doesn't eat
heartily, full of cold or has sore throat
or any other children's ailment, give a
teaspoonful of California Syrup of
Figs then don't worry, because it is
perfectly harmless and in few hours all
this constipation poison, sour bile and
fermenting waste will gently move out
of the bowels, and you have well, play
full child again. A thorough "inside

sary. 1t should be the first treatment
given in any sickness.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask
your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of

full directions for babies, children of all
ages and for grown-ups plainly printed

Premier Borden Sat-
urday Night

Ottawa, April l2.-Lord Kitchener has
called on Canada for second expedi-
tionary force. The news was given to Par.
| lament Saturday by Premier Sir. Rob-
ert Borden, who said that the call had
been expected some time.
Three months ago Lord Kitchener was
informed that the force was ready in
Canada to board troop ships and sail
for Europe. Premier Borden said that
since that time the war Office had been
kept fully informed on its training, and
had from time to time made sugges
tions, which had been followed with abso.

the second expeditionary force would go
forward at an unrevealed date in the
near future, to join the first expedition
airy Canadian force at the front.
The Canadian second expeditionarv
force had not been summoned sooner,
said the premier, ''for reasons which rec
commended themselves to the head of the
war office and reasons which are general
ly recognized" The premier noted that
with an enormous number of men under
training in Great Britain the providing
of accommodation and training for the
various continugents from the overseas
dominions was not an easy task.
The announcement of Lord Kitchen
cr's call was received with cheers from
both parties in the House, Premier Bor-
den followed it with statement of the
progress Canadian authorities have made
in raising, arming, training and Dispatch
ing troops since the opening of war. This
showed that in the dominion and abroad
on the payroll of Canadian l0l $50 men
are bearing arms or performing mill
tary service. Officers and men number
ing 35,420 have been dispatched as the
first Canadian expeditionary force and
as reinforcements for it. The Royal
Canadian regiment, 0S2 officers and men.
were sent to GARRISON Bermuda. de-
tachment OF 100 officers and men were
sent to garrison st. Lucia. In Canada
the second eApedtonary force number
ed 22,272 officers and men. Reserve in
fantry battalions and the Canadian
mounted rifles numbered 27,079.
There are recruited and organized for
oversee service but not modified, $500.
Thus the number so far enlisted for
oversee service totaled s9,353. In add.
ton there were in Canada units of &C
tive militia on garrison and out post
duty numbering 0777 and a permanent
training force of 2430, the premier said.
There have been established in Great
Britain training depots for each arm
Of the Canadian service.
$50 far as at present can be foreseen,"
said the premier. "a total number OF |
,bout 10000 men will be required |
should the war last another year. That |
IS to saw, an original force of $4,000,
plus 10000 sent overseas for reinforce
nents, plus $4,000 in Canada under
training Two armored machine gun
lnits are being modified, one at Toron.
10 and one at Montreal. II has not |
leen decided whether they will accom-
,any the second division abroad. The
mounted rifles are being modified in Is
egiments for service in Egypt.

Report of Two Days Fight
ing in Mazat-
Ian

Washington, April l2--Tbree hundred
unemployed Americans have appealed to
the state department for transportation
from Tampico to the United States. The
situation there was reported officially
Saturday, to be serious. Food is scarce
and the fighting at Ebano and vicinity
indicates an early attack on the city.
Rear Admiral Caperton, with the crus.
|er Washington, went to Tampico Satur-
day from Vera Cruz on his own initia-
tive to join the gunboats Petrol and Sac
ramento. Officials here discussed arrange
ments for the use of army transports
which will be sent for the Tampico refu-
gees if the state department formally re-
quests them to-day.
The state department had no news
from the Celaya district, where the forces
of General Obregon and General Villa had
been engaged in skirmishing, preliminary
TO what is expected to be an important
battle. George G. Carothers, American
consular agent usually at Villa headquar.

representations to the local Villa au-
thorities concerning the percentage tax
which is to be imposed on foreign prop
erty and to which the British govern
ment, as we'll as the United States has
taken exception.
The Villa agency here protested to the
state department Saturday on behalf of
General Villa against the expected pres
ence of General Hderta on American ter
ritory, alleging that he intended to vio-
late neutrality by starting hostile
movement against Mexico. No action
was taken on the communication.

ENRICH THE BLOOD
Hoods Sarsaparilla, a Spring Tonic Med
icine, Is Necessary

Everybody is troubled at this season
with loss OF vitality, failure of appetite,
that tired feeling, or with bilious turns,
duh headaches, Indigestion and other
stomach troubles, or with pimples and
other eruptions on the face and body.
The reason is that the blood is impure
and impoverished.

ailments 1t is the old reliable medicine
that has stood the test of 40 years-that
makes pure, rich, red blood--that
strengthens every organ and builds up
the whole system. 1t is the all-the-year-
round blood purifier and health giver.
Nothing else acts like it, for nothing
else is like it. There is no real substl-
tute; so be sure to get Hoods. Ask
your druggist for it to-day, and begin
taking it at once.-Advt.

ROOSEVELT HITS PEACE PLAN.
Leaders of Movement in Chicago Refuse
to Make His Letter Public,

Chicago, April l2--Publication of the
fact that Col Theodore Roosevelt had
written letter denouncing the women's
peace propaganda caused sharp discus
sion among leaders of the movement
in Chicago Saturday.
The letter reposed IN the custody of
Mrs. William l. Thomas, secretary of
the Women's party, and she refused to
allow its publication. 'Miss Jane Ad-
dams SAYS she sees no reason for secrecy
about the letter." Mrs. Thomas was
told. "She may have thought that when
she spoke, but now she agrees with me
that there were sentences in the letter
that it would be unwise to make pub
lie" replied Mrs Thomas Although
Col Roosevelt has said he woul be de-
lighted to have the letter published, /
think it unwise to make it public"
The missiye which aroused the discus
sion was sent to Mrs. George Rublee of
Washington. One report had it that
the colonel said that pacifists in gen
eral constituted menace to the future
welfare of the United States"
"0f course everyone knows Col. Roose-
velts view on mili.arism and peace and
il is not wondered that he may have
himself strongly in opposition
TO peace propaganda" said Miss Adams,
who is the head of the Chicago delega-
tion of II to the women peace meeting
