President Wils0)iiT II :, IDS
Warning to Mexico

The failure of the warning factions
in Mexico to offer any settlement of
the difficulty in which Mexico now
finds herself has been brought to the
attention of Mexican leaders in a
note from President Wilson in which
he warns those responsible that If the
turmoil does not cease the United
States will be forced to intervene.
The Presidents note is as follows:
"For more than two years revolu-
tionary conditions have existed in
Mexico. The purpose of the revolu-
tion was to rid Mexico of men who
ignored the constitution of the repub-
lie and used their power in contempt
of the right of it's people, and with
these purposes the people of the Unit
ed States instinctively and generous
ly sympathized.
'But the leaders of the revolution,
in the very hour Of their success,
have disagreed and turned their arms
against one another.
Authority ls Denied.
GAIL protesting the same objects
they are, nevertheless, unable or un-
willing to cooperate. A central au-
thority at Mexico City is no sooner set
up than it is undermined and its au.
thority denied by those who were
expected to support it.
Mexico is apparently no nearer a
solution of her tragical troubles than
she was when the revolution was first
kindled. And she has been swept by
civil war as If by fire. Her crops are
destroyed, her fields lie unseeded, he1
work cattle are confiscated for the use
of the armed factions; her people flee
to the mountains to escape being
drawn into unavailing bloodshed and
no man seems to see or lead the way
to peace and settled order. There Ii
no protection either for her own citi
zens or for the citizens of other ma
tions resident and at work within hel
territory. Mexico is starving and
without a government.
''In these circumstances the people
and government of the United state'
cannot stand indifferently by and dt
nothing to serve their neighbor. The!

ENGLISH CATHOLICS DENouNcE
WARTIME ILLEGITIMAcY.

The delegates attending the Man
chester and Stafford committee of the
Diocesan Catholic Federation, unani-
mously resolved "that this meeting
hereby repudiates the doctrine that a
state of war justifies unchastity, de-
MES that any distinction may be made
between those unmarried women who
became mothers before the war and
those who became mothers after the
war; affirms the ineffaceable respon-
sibility of the unmarried father
toward the child and its mother; as
serts that there is an insurmountable
barrier between unmarried and mar
ried mothers which is based on divine
and natural law, and demands that the
poverty of the father and the mother
shall continue to be the sole condition
that justifies the granting of relief by
the community"

inserted which met the objection of
the Comptroller to using the Chock-
taw and Chickasaw funds for the sup
port of tribal schools of those tribes,
but as the bill failed to become law
this provision, of course, did not go
into effect. Congress, however, by
Joint resolution provided for the ex-
tending Of the appropriations for the
fiscal year 1915 through the fiscal year
1916; and once more the Indian Office
appealed to the Comptroller for per-
mission to continue the schools Of the
tribes in question.
But the Commissioner of Indian A.
fairs apparently had become imbued
with some very delicate scruples of
conscience, and he questioned the
Comptroller explicitly in regard to the
use of the Choctaw and Chickasaw
funds in schools other than the gov
ernment schools. e. mission schools.
The Comptroller granted permission
for the use Of tribal funds for the
government schools, but his delicacy
of conscience appears to have prevent
ed him from granting the same privi.
lege to the non-government or mission
schools. The result is that great
number of Choctaw and Chickasaw
children will suffer from the delicacy
of conscience of two very important
government officials.

tically pushed to the wall, and there

CO. Least of all do they desire to
settle her affairs for her or claim any
right to do so. But neither do they
wish to see utter ruin come upon her
and they deem it their duty as friends
and neighbors to lend any aid they
properly can to any instrumentality
which promises to be effective in
bringing about settlement which will
embody the real objects of the revolu-
tion-the constitutional government
and the rights of the people. Patriotic
Mexicans are sick at heart and cry
out for peace and for every self
sacrifice that may be necessary to
procure it. Their people cry out for
food and will presently hate as much
as they fear every man in their coun-
try or out Of it, who stands between
them and their daily bread.
United States Takes Stand.
ut is time, therefore, that the gov
ernment of the United States should
frankly state the policy which in
these extraordinary circumstances it
becomes its duty to adopt. It must
presently do what it has not hitherto
done or felt at liberty to do, lend its
active moral support to some man or
group of men, If such can be found,
who can rally the suffering people of
Mexico to their support in an effort to
ignore, If they cannot unite, the war
ring factions of the country, return
to the constitution of the republic so
long in allegiance and set up a govern
ment at Mexico City which the great
powers of the world can recognize
and deal with, a government with
whom the program Of the revolution
will be business and not merely q
platform. I, therefore, publicly and
very solemnly call upon the leaders of
factions in Mexico to act, to act to-
gether and to act promptly for the re.
lief and redemption of their prostrate
country. feel it to be my duty to tell
them that If they cannot accommodate
their differences and unite for this
great purpose within very short time
this government will be constrained tc
decide what means should be employed
by the United States in order to help
Mexico save herself and save hel
people,"

in consequence, annoyed. The Eng

Irish-promises which they may or
may not keep-and they expected that
the Irish everywhere, for that reason,
should rally to England's standard.
The American Hibernians have gore
on as before, attending strictly to their

ideals, and hence this attack upon
them by an Irishman who would like

DR.. Conan Doyle has written some
articles for the STRAND Magazine" on
the Ancient Order of Hibernians In
America, which he represents as an or
ganization which devotes its time to
debauchery, blackmail and murder. He

the emblem of the A. o. H.-a harp

doubt that his assaults are intended
for the Hibernians.

LONG TRIPS BY AUTO

Many Haynes Light Skies
Have Made TranS-Conti-
mental Trips This Year

Railroads for long pleasure trips
are being replaced noticeably by auto

Haynes Light Six.
"The summer of 1915 has seen many
ranscontinental tours by motorists,
who have gained thereby, in seeing
a far greater amount of scenery than

of-way. To meet the demand for
such purposes automobiles must be
constructed to Withstand the unusual
stress and wear Of road travelling and
must embody comfort and ease to in
sure absolute pleasure to the pas
senger. The Light Skies seem to meet
This demand as being both powerful

would naturally call for good spring
construction and the lighter type Of
cars seem to meet this emergency.
Having springs made of the best
grade OF material yet supporting a
body and power plant Of light weight,
the result is better riding qualities.
"The Light Six motor also meets
all requirements in touring through
mountainous and muddy country.
Great pulling power is needed in
these localities that seems to be I'M
failing in the powerful. medium
weight motors on the market today.
Power transmission is to be con-
sidered where long, hard pulls are
concerned. This naturally brings
about the necessity for clutch that
will hold under all conditions.
THE dry-disc variety has proven
TO be trustworthy in this respect by
demonstrating its ability not to slide
regardless of the heavy duty required
Of it, but eliminating any tendency
to grab or jerk.
"If boulevard roads existed across
country. pullman comfort could be
enjoyed in any type of car, but as they
do not. the powerful, medium-weight
type of automobile seems to meet
with popular favor"
