The AMERICAN
DOLLAR DEAR TO
MEXICAN HEART

AS is always the case, wherever the
American dollar goes it becomes dea~
to the hearts of the people. Nor is
Mexico an exception to this rule. y
news dispatch from Columbus, N. M,
says: The American dollar rapidly is
finding its place in the hearts of the
people of northern Chihuahua, accord
Jig to soldiers and civilians arriving
at the border today from General J,
Pershing's headquarters.
The people of the districts through
which the American troops passed at
first were coldly friendly, but when
they found that the Americans did not
commander their livestock and food
supplies as have Mexican armies pass
ing through the same district their
courtesy and friendliness increased
The price, too, increased when the
Inhabitants found that the American
had money and was willing to spend
liz to satisfy his wants. An example
cited is that eggs were readily pur-
chasable for ten cents a dozen by the
! first troops passing through La AS
cunsion, but by yesterday the price
paid reached fifty cents dozen.
The arrivals said that the word that
the Americans desired produce AMI
would pay for it passed rapidly from
town to town and the farmers had
their wagons drawn up in the main
streets of La Ascension, Colonia Diaz
and Casas Grandes by the time the
hGecond detachment of troops reached
those places.

f. p Riley, a well-known farmer,
who lives five miles out from Mont
gomery, Ala. r. F. D. 8, Box 70, on the
upper Wetumpka road, is still another
who feels grateful for Tanlac and who
wants his fellow man to know of the
wonderful benefits he has derived from
its use.
Il thank God for this good medicine, >
he said in spirit of gratitude, but in
all reverence to the Tanlac representa-
tive a few days ago. I've had rheu-
matism and stomach trouble for tea
solid years and this Tanlac has picked
me up and made a well man out Of
ne. There's no use talking, when a
medicine does that it's high time for
folks to talk it up all they can, for
it's doing good.
Il had pains in the back and legs,
hhtil l couldn't sleep and l was ner-
vous all the time and hadn't any more
appetite than a person that didn't have
any stomach. When l did manage to
eat it would bloat me up with gas
and roolyo ma y,,;corohlo 7 u,o,,Ja -.
indigestion so bad that could hardly
get my breath and I'd sometimes get
right dizzy. These spells would bring
on bad headaches and | would suffer
with em for hours. My kidneys and
bladder gave me all kinds Of pain and
trouble and l seemed to Lose control
was weak and rundown and Just
simply couldn't muster any energy at
all.
I'm now on my third bottle of Tan
lac and the effect it's had on me is
something l wouldn't have believed if
anybody had sworn it beforehand. 1
sleep good now and am free from all
the pains and stomach trouble and my
kidneys are under control. My appetite
has come back to me and I'm always
ready when the dinner bell rings.
I'm ready to recommend Tanlac to
anybody and everybody, for it's GER
tainly the best medicine l ever put in
to my mouth.

prompt concentration, a single acct
dent being susceptible of creating con
fusion and disclosing the movements
Of the corps.
On the 31st of July, 1914, all the az
tive troops were in their garrisons,
with railroads carrying passengers
and goods as usual. The order for the
troops to set out was issued at 3:39
o'clock, and at 5 o'clock all the units
assigned to the defense of the from
tier were in their trains on the way to
their positions of resistance. The
troops was finished August 3rd. The
first day the Eastern railroad alone
sent 53S trains of soldiers, every one
of which reached its destination on
schedule time. The Eastern road sent
out SAC trains only the second day,
showing that its first effort lacked on
ly eight trains of the maximum. At
ter the mobilization 1890 trains were
employed in the concentration of the
forces at points fixed and only 20 Of
them were behind the hour provided
for in their schedule.
The railroads became manoeuvring
instrument when the concentration pc
riod was finished and played capital
role in the battle of the Marine.
Even during the battle of Charleroi
the Allies left was reinforced by
three divisions brought from the region
of Nancy in 200 trains in three days
time.
They had scarcely arrived when the
retreat was ordered, and the railroads
were occupied in concentrating at the
center and on the left the masses Of
troops that attacked the German right
and decided the battle. Three army
corps, five divisions of infantry, and
three divisions of cavalry were brought
by rail from Lorraine, part of the re-
gion of Chalons sur Marine and part to
the region of Paris.
The battle of the Marine won. the
railroads began pouring troops to the
north in the race to the seae.
The relative calm along the front
itself at certain periods brings no rest
to the railroads. From February to
August, 915, 3,430 troop trains were
run, while the average of supply trains
was 131 day; at the same time there
were 222 ambulance trains in SER
vice.
Besides assuring the transportation
of troops, the railroads have since the
war began, added 200 miles of regular
gauge and 40 miles of narrow gauge
track to their strategic lines and very
largely transformed 1853 military sta
tions.

exercise his functions. The last drill
of this kind was in April, 1914, when
the maneuvres undertaken supposed
the grouping of two armies face to
face. Orders for the operations had
been established, taking into account
the vicissitudes of battle and all the
needs of the army, so far as possible
bringing their men face to face with
problems, incidents and accidents and
consequent necessity for immediate
decisions such as they would have to
make in time of war That was how
the men charged with the transporta-
ticn of troops prepared themselves for
the mobilization and the intensive
movement of military trains that has
continued ever since.
The plan under which the army was
modified in 1914 was the seventeenth
that had been elaborated since the war
Of 1870 From the annual census of
the resources of the country in men,
/, horses and material the general staff
bod NtJf f1,0 Is Al
mentary units it could create and the
theOretic organization that they might
give them. Every corps charged with
mobilization possessed its table giving
details of all the elements that It was
called upon to furnish, where to find
its men, from where would come the
horses and material necessary for the
constitution of new units; every man
had his mobilization sheet, indicating
the corps that he must join; the staff
OF that corps had his name and adj
dress on its rolls and expected him on
the day that he arrived. Every mayor
OF every commune in France under this
system knew exactly where to take
the horses of his commune in order
that they could be requisitioned. Every
president of requisitioning commits
tions knew the horses that he must
choose and the point to which he must
take them. The plan not only involv
ed the uniting of these elements and
their proper distribution, but every
horse and every man found what was
necessary for him at the spot where he
was to be taken. The troops of such Il
corps, with their horses and all &C
cOutrements, once equipped and ready.
found the train ready for them at their
point of concentration, corresponding
exactly in capacity to the number u
men, horses, baggage wagons, artillery,
ambulances and so forth, of the corps
to bet transported secretly over France
and disembarked at a point where
other trains from other points were
bringing other troops to form the d;.
vision, the army corps, or an army
itself.
The necessity of secrecy imposed
as much care as the necessity Of

French Railroads Won The
Battle of User And Ypres
Says Officer Connected

PARIS, March 29.-"The battles of
the User and Ypres were, in the first
instance, won by the French railroads,
aid though the German lines possess
cd certain initial advantages over them
they have held their own throughout
the war; says an officer closely con-
ton and displacement of the French
troops.
"The Germans have had the advan-
tage of distance, since the line took
the form of triangle; inside that tri.
angle their points of concentration are
nearer to the User or any other part
of the front than the Allies concen-
tration points on the other side where
it is necessary to turn the angle in
stead of going across the inside of
it,"
1t appears that General Joffre fore
saw the German thanking movement to-
ward Calais during the last days of
the battle of the Marine, and began
sending troops to parry it as early as
September 8th. Between that date and
the beginning of October 800 trains
carried II army corps and three divis-

ions of cavalry northwards.
A review of the military operations
beginning with the mobilization shows
that the railroads of France have &C
complished everything that was ex
pected of them, contrary to the expert
ence of 1870.
The first consideration in developing
the efficiency of the military railroad
is the maximum number of trains that
can be run one after another within A
given time. Consequently all military
trains are obliged to run at the same
reduced speed, following each other at
very close intervals under the block
system; without risk of accident, the
continuous movement accomplishes
more than would be done by high
speed which would necessarily involve
increased spaces between trains.
In preparation for this intense move
ment necessitated by the mobilization,
the officers of the railway service Of
the French army met every year under
the direction of the general staff to
study the problems involved, each Of
fcer being placed on the spot where in
time of war he would be called upon to

Gee, the sun looks good; wasn't that

If you didn't say this yourself yester-
day morning, when you crawled out Of
bed and saw the bright rays streaming
into your bedchamber, then you heard
some one else say the very same thing
by the time you reached the office.
Yes, II was some rain, And 1t was cold,
tool You didn't have to be a scientist or
rneteorologist to know that. But do
you, even now, know just how cold 1t
was and how much rain actually fell7 OF
course, you don't, for the chances are
meteorologist's thermometer. But the
Weather Wizard knows, for that's his
business, and last night he gave out the
statistics
So far this June, there has been $50
inches OF rainfall in the District AS
the normal for this portion of the month
Is only 2-3S inches, you see that WASH

Than it ordinarily gets. Why even the
figures say: TT was some raInP'
And as for temperatures: The average
temperature was 81 degrees, Just "a de-
grees below the daily average for the
period. The highest temperature Of the
month was only s43 degrees, and that
was on June 5. The lowest temperature
was 49 degrees, and was recorded on

CANNON CALLS
wilson "CzAR'
Borland Goes After Hughes in
House and Uncle Joe" Re-
taliates with Scripture.

With the evident purpose of emphasiz-
ing the alleged opposition OF Mr.. Hughes
when governor of New York to the In
come tax amendment. Representative
Borland, of Missouri. again attacked in
the House yesterday the message of Gov.
Hughes to the legislature. in submitting
the constitutional amendment, and urging
that It be rejected.
Representative Bennet defended the Re-
publican candidate. showing that such
Democrats as Representative Hull. OF
Tennessee. who drew the income tax law,
approved the objections raised by Gov
Hughes.
Uncle Joe" Cannon charged that Pres
ident Wilson was the chief of all "C,zars"
within the history of the country. Shsk-
ing his fingers warningly toward the
Democratic side of the chamber and
speaking in characteristic vein, the for
mer Speaker said: Talk about Gar
Roosevelt and Gar Jackson and Car
Grant. and all the other czars we have
ever had, they could not be any bigger
czars than Wilson. But after all. God
knows, 1t is said in Holy Writ that whom
the Lord loveth. He chasteneth. We have
had four years of It. I think we have
had our full dose"
Tax Powerfully Fought.
In the course OF his attack on Mr..
Hughes, Representative Borland asserted
that the most powerful opposition TO the
income tax came from certain New York
interests"
1T did not come" he continued, from
the great mass of the people, Sbut from a
closely knit group of financial interests
which seek to dominate certain forms OF
political activity. These interests were
opposed to the adoption of the income tax
amendment and every resource that
brains could devise and boldness attempt
was used to that end"
Mr.. Borland asserted that Mr.. Hughes
as governor sent a message to the legis-
lature urging 1t to reject the proposed
income tax amendment. The only rea-
son given, he said. was that the amend
ment was so broad as to permit taxation
of State bonds and other instrumentalities
Of the States by the Federal government.
Mr.. Bennett in his reply said that both
Democrats and Republicans voted in ac-
cordance with the governors message.
