LEAGUE ODJECISTO
NAMING OF HARVEY
National Defense Body Declares
His Appointment Would Hurt
Efficiency Of District Guard.

Another step was taken today In the
fight against the appointment of Col
William e. Harvey as brigadier general
of the District National Guard, when
the National Defense League addressed
to President Wilson a vigorous protest
against the appointment, and told him
that II will have the effect of tearing
down the efficiency of the guard.
The fight now being waged by Spanish
and Grand Army veterans found fur
ther support In the announcement that
II. Oden Lake, national commander OF
the Army and Navy Union. had written
President Wilson urging that he prevent
the appointment Of Colonel Harvey in
preference to a veteran.
The National Defense League in its
letter, declares that in the event of
another war, high aNtional Guard
commands should be in the hands of
officers Of actual war experience.
-Four hundred thousand United Spanish
War veterans, the leagues .communi-
cation says, are protesting or prepar-
ing to protest against the proposed ap-
pointment Of Colonel Harvey and the
rejection Of the candidacy Of Major c.
Fred Cook.
General Lake. in his protest, said:
II is my hope. as Virginian and vet
eran, that such a precedent will not be
established"
30 far as is known the President has
not yet given consideration to the case.

German Public in Dark
Regarding Second Note
From Wilson to Berlin

BERLIN tvia The Hague), June g.
Both the German public and members
Of the Americna colony here are COM
pletely in the dark as to the prob
able contents Of President Wilson's
reJoinder to the German reply in the
Lusttania case.
With scarcely any exception. the
German newspapers have refrained
from forecasting, except in a most
general way, what America will say
to Germany's request for an agree
ment on a statement of facts. Tho
newspapers. however. reprinted ex-
cerpts from English papers. reporting
that the German reply failed to sat

News that a special representative
named by Amba ssador Won Bernstorff
was on his way to Berlin to explain
the exact attitude of the American
government to the German foreign
office. was made public here today
and was received with general salts
faction. Leading Americans in Ber-
lin. who are deeply interested in the
present negotiations, expressed the
hope that a personal interchange of
views would pave the way for a com
plete understanding.

and 1t is hoped the original plans
may be carried out.
To say that there Is CONSERVATION
at the academy over the order for
the investigation Is putting Il mildly.
1t Is pointed out that all the officers
on the court are comparatively strang-
ers to recent conditions at the Acad-
emy, not having been on duty here
for many years. They will therefore
be in position to examine into mat
ters without bias.
Rumors are afioat that a thorough in
vestigation will develop that favored
mldshipmen have received special helps
in examinations. the favored ones In
Guiding athletes and others whose con-
tinuance in the acadamy was specially
desired. On the other hand. friends OF
the academy and its officials are conf
dent that, at most. nothing but isolated
instances of such practices exist, II any.
and that the system at the academy
will be found as fair and equitable as 1t
is possible to make 1t.
The instruction which the midshipmen
were to receive by means OF the cruise
has been badly hsmpered and the au-
thorities are confronted with the prob
lem OF what to do with the midshipmen

Official Berlin Takes

BERLIN, June 6.--Officials Of

German officials intimate that,

American Cowboys
Rescue Boys Kidnapped
By Villista Forces

NOGALES. Ariz., June GA posse OF
ten American cowboys and miners rode
eight miles across the border into Santa
Cruz, Sonora, leveled their guns at the
colonel comma nding the garrison, while
$50 Mexican soldiers looked on, and OBJ
tained the release Of two American boys
kidnapped yesterday by three Of the SOL
dlers on the Arizona side of the bor-
der.
The colonel gave UP his two seven
teen-year-old prisoners. George Vaughn,
son of a storekeeper at Duquesne and
Henry Chang. son OF a Chinese-Ameri-

GERMAN SHIPS IN
ITALY CONF|SCATED
Rome Expects Seizure viii Bring
Formal Declaration Of War
From Berlin.

ROME, June S.-Italy has taken her
first aggressive step against the Kaiser
A score of German ships, interned In
italian ports since the beginning .of the
war. have been confiscated by govern.
ment decree, along with number oi
Austrian steamers and sailing vessels
In official circles 1t was predicted the
governments action would bring q FOR
NAL declaration of war from Berlin.
The official announcement does not
designate the exact number Of German
ships seized. but It is reported that the
merchant fleet lying In the harbor at
Genoa and several smaller vessels ~
Naples and Venice. In all, fifty-seven
Austrian and German ships were seized.
Their total tonnage is 2l6,770. and their
value said to be more than S2o.ooo,ooo.
Embarrassing To Italy.
In some quarters 1t is believed that
the governments action may have
been taken for the very purpose OF
forcing Germany to declare herself.
Though Diplomatic relations were sew
cred Immediately after Italy declared
war on Austria, and the Italian gov
ernment was informed that Germany
considered that q state OF war existed
petWetu NteTIHdny anu ho
declaration ever came from Berlin.
Germany's failure to declare herself
has been q source of great embarrass-
ment to the italian government. Pend
ing a formal declaration Of war. the
Italian government placed no embargo
on the shipment of supplies to Ger
many. though 1t was known that these
supplies might be sent into Austria and
be used against the Italian armies.
Surprised BY Turkey.
The fact that the two 'ries are
not formally at war also has hampered
the work Of the Italian secret service.
With no government order for the in
ternment Of German residents Of Italy
the difficulties OF tracing suspected
German spies were more than doubled
Some surprise Is expressed here that
Turkey has failed to declare war on
Italy since the invasion of Austria
actually has begun. The Turkish min
lister has not appeared in public since
the declaration of war against Austria
but. according to his subordinates, has
made no preparations to leave Rome.

hours at the most ironclad blockade

Marietta Oil Fields.

That the oil fields of Love county
are attracting attention among the
experienced oil men of Texas and
Oklahoma is evidenced by the mum.
ber of oil men who are visiting the
fields recently. Last week Mr. Coombs
and Mr.. lie Durie and son. Gordon,
of Bartlesyille, paid Mr.. Blackburn
of the Waco Petroleum company, who
is drilling the test on Cal Stewards
farm east Of town, visit. After
examining the territory and holdings
of the Waco Petroleum company and
saw the development being done by
this company they said it was a rev.
elation to them in the oil line.
The Waco Petroleum, through the
efforts of Mr. Blackburn, have con-
tracted with the above named gentle
men to take up some of their Marshall
county holdings, and this means that
more new work will soon be started,
Mr.. Blackburn is on the alert for
anything that will assist in the de-
velopment of Love county and he
is pulling all the good things possible
that he can this way and he should
be commended for the good he has
done and is going to do for Love
county.
Roy G. Milroy of Texas also paid
Mr.. Blackburn a visit last Saturday
for the purpose of buying some of
the Waco Petroleum companys stock.
He was well pleased with his visit
to Love county, in fact all who come
and investigate Love cOuntys oil out
look are agreed that Mr.. Blackburn
has made no mistake in his chosen
location.

Deafness canrot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness Is the result, and unless the in
tlammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
