one side or the other. The determin-

PURE RICH BLOOD
PREVENTS DISEASE

Bad blood, that is, blood that is
impure or impoverished, thin and
pale,-is responsible for more all
ments than anything else.
It affects every organ and function.
In some cases it causes catarrh; In
others, dyspepsia; in others, rheuma-
ism; and in still others, weak, tired,
languid feelings and worse troubles.
1t is responsible for rundown
conditions, and is the most common
cause of disease.

MEXICAN MEDIATION PLAN

Washington Virtually Concludes Ar
rangements for Diplomatic Con-
ference

WASHINGTON, July 20.-Approval by
Mexico City authorities of the tentative pro-
gram outlined by Acting Secretary of State
Polk and Ambassador Designate Arredondo
Is virtually the only obstacle in the way Of
an announcement of the plans for the direct
negotiations to settle American differences
with the de facto Government of Mexico
These preliminary arrangements had
been delayed until some idea Of the strength
of the insurgent movement in northern
Mexico could be gained Off1cials here are
convinced that there is not a force of
revolutlonists and Vlllstas there so large
that II will menace the American border
through the inability OF General Trevino's
army to cope with II. Unless some Incl
dent occurs within the next week to cause
the State Department to change Its views
on this subject, II is confidently expected
that announcement of the program for the
proposed direct negotiations will be made,
With the excer ion of the possible menace
to the border by bandits, no real difficulty
has been encountered In arranging the ne
gotiatlons. wit drawal OF the American
column and protection Of the border will
be the first points Of issue. Next in i'm.
portance will be the secret consideration OF
plans for the financial rehabilitation of
Mexico, with the probable unofficial back
ing Of private bankers by the American
Government.

RUSSIANS OPEN TERRIFIC
ATTACKS ON FOUR VITAL
SECTORS ALONG EAST LINE

LONDON, July 20.--The Russians have
opened n powerful offensive thrust on the
eastern front in the Carpathians, toward
Kovel, at Vladimir Volynski and in tho
Riga sector. says a wireless dispatch from
Rome. 1t adds that a big battle Is de-
veloping at Jablonitza.
The Russian force that crosaed the Car
pathians and invaded Hungary was a cav
airy detachment, according to Petrograd
dispatches today. There is no indication
thus far that the Cars infantry has pene-
trated Hungary.
The Slav horsemen passed through de-
file near Kirlibaba and turned westward
toward the right flank of the Austrian
army, presumably to raid the Austrian
lines Of communication.
General Lechitzky's army is advancing
from the direction of Kuty. ion the Tchere-
mosche River, which forms the boundary
between Galicia and the Bukowina The
direction of the Russian march is south
westerly, following the river up to Its
source in the Carpathians. The Tcheremosche
is made up of two branches. the Black and
the White Tcheremosche, which join and
form one river about 10 miles southwest
of Kuty. 1t is in this region, according to
the official Russian statement. that the
Russian infantry Is advancing toward the
mountain defles Press dispatches from
Berlin and Petrograd assert that not only
in this region. but at other points on each

This indicates that the Russians are ad-
vancing toward the Carpathian mountain
without long delay.
A dispatch from Berlin says that re-
ports from the southe astern front indicate
that the Russians, nfter a fortnight of
comparative inactivity, have brought up
heavy reinforcements of infantry and cav
airy and have resumed a strong aggressive
on the headwategs OF the Moldava near
Kirlibaba, on the Hungarian frontier.
