News Letter From London.

News Letter From London.
Mr.. and Mre. George Weaver re-
ceived the following letter from their
daughter Maud.
London, June 1,l915.
Dear Mama and Papa:
Just few lines this evening so
you may know that although London
has had an air raid we are still in
tact. We don't know much about this
raid, the papers only say on the out
skirts Of London, the news could not
very well be given out without Civ
ing the enemy the knowledge of their
whereabouts. They evidently are
aiming for water mains, St. Paul's
cathedral and other historical land
marks. / suppose We really are in
some danger, but l can't realize /
and am not worrying, but shouldn't
like gas bombs or any other kind
dropped around me. We are warned,
I believe, to sleep with our windows
closed. OF course they aren't going
to waste ammunition on places like
Tedding if they know it, there is moth
ing here except the bridges over the
Thames and the water works.All the
special police everywhere were called
out last night to guard the places that
might be targets, suppose that if we
had heard the whistles in the night
that called them our hair or mine,
would have stood on end, sometimes
wish / was safely at home-I sincere
ly wish my babies were anyway
couldn't go and leave Cyril, people say
conscription will surely come, if SO
Cyril will have to go. l don't know
what it is but it looks bad right now,
but how can one country whip the
world, and that is what they are try
ing to do. They are a marvellous
people and England has been asleep,
a friend Of ours, of German descent,
and whose business was in Germany
says their system is so marvellous
they know what they have in their
country from pin up, they know
just how much food they have and
for how long. They know the amount
of copper and lead they have for
ammunition in fact everything is
figured out for years to come. This
man says he thinks one
thing they might run short of is iron
What seems so strange to me here
and did when l first came over is
the dreadful waste of land. Miles and
miles and miles of parks and more
parks, miles of commons, land that
is for nothing but golf links and tc
look beautiful, while they send tc
France and Belgium for their garden

ONLY A FEW CAN GO.

Those who are so fortunate that
expense does not have to be considered
are now going to health resorts to get
id of the impurities of the system that
cause rheumatism, backaehe, swollen,
aching oints and stiff painful muscles.
if you are one of those who cannot 60,
yet feel that you need relief from
such pain and misery, try Foley's
Kidney Pills. They restore the kid
neys to healthful activity and make
you feel well and strong.-S. G. Wall

MEXICO AGAIN

Mexico returns to plague the
president at time when his best
thoughts and energies should be con-
centrated upon the European problem
and its grave possibilities. The out
worn policy of "watchful waiting"
was an easy one for our government
to p1rsue and at times it undoubted-
ly seemed to the unpractices Mr..
Bryan an adequate one. Whatever
merits it had were of temporary ma
ture, for the policy at best was a
mere expedient. 1t did not clarity the
situation and it brought no solution
to the cloud of difficulties which en-
barrass the work of rehabilitating
Mexico.
Conditions have steadily grown
worse in Mexico. American influence
nder the shifting and changing policy
at Washington was dismissed until it
has almost reached the vanishing
point. Villa, who seemed in a way to
have the support of the administra
tion, appears not to have met expecta-
tions and it apparently reverting to
his earlier status of small bandit
chieftain. His authority is effective
only within very restricted aerp.
The people of northern and western
Mevica ore without central govern
ment. There is sufficient protection
neither to life or property.
In the east and south, Carranza
makes show of force and of govern
ment but he does not control the
country and has lost the sympathy of
the enthusiastic fanatical liberals who
for year were the source of his
strength. A large number of Mexi-
cans who supported the Constitution
alists fervently believed they uere up
holding great cause. A succession
of painful and disasterous events have
shown them that their cause was
shadowy and its leaders shallow. The
Constitutionalists in many parts of
the country have broken up into
small rowing bands which will newt
ably sink into guerilla warfare.
The Yaqui Indians are on the war
path and it is reported that a number
of Americans have been killed by
them. There is nothing but their own
will or lack of initiative to prevent
them from killing all the Americans
they may change to encounter, II
the Yaquis shrould unhappily mas
sacre number of our fellow country
men it will be found that there is
nothing worth while which our gov
ernment can do about it unless it
chooses to resort to armed iuterven-
ton. There is no responsible Mexican
government to which we can make
| representations or from which we can
demand an accounting. The number of
Americans who have been murdered
in Mexico in the last two years is
larger than those who lost their lives
on the Lusitania. In addition to the
murders which have been committed
there are innumerabe victims of other
crimes too horrible to mention. Amer
lean and other foreign property to
the value of upwards of Sl50,000, 900
has been destroyed. These are some
Of the fruits of the policy of watch
full waiting. ng.'-Oakland (Calif.) Tri-

Strong Fortress.

Local Austrians who have been
there say that the Austrian fortress of
Pola on the Adriatic is the most mod
ernly equipped in the world, that the
Kaiser SO reported it after an in
spection by him. The fortress is about
1875 miles across the Adriatic from
Venice and Ravonna, Italy and is now
being attacked by the Italian fleet.
Pola is the keystone of string of
Austrian forts along the Adriatic, that
If captured by the Italians would give
them direct way to Trieste, Austria.
1t is large hill, undermined, but
