of general CarranZa's 1ns1stence on
this point in the discussions of the
American and Mexican commissioners
in session here. General Pershing's
column will not return to American
soil until foreign life and property is
assured Of safety south of the Rio
Grande. There have been no intima.
lions here that Carranza would re-
call his commissioners If the matter
of troop withdrawal is not immedi-
ately settled, but in the face of adj
missions that the first chief is insist
ing upon General Pershing's early
withdrawal, this authoritative state
ment of the American position was
made today. The American commits
sioners believe there is much to be
discussed and settled before the mat
ter Of troop withdrawal is taken up.
Changes that will bring safety to
American and. other foreign life and
property involve almost innumerable
questions which must be frankly dis
cussed. The American commissioners
are acting in the capacity of advisors
in one sense to the Mexicans. They
are insisting that Mexico must
realize that as nation she cannot
live to herself alone. The rights of
foreign powers with investments in
Mexico must be recognized. While
endeavoring to avoid giving the i'm
preston of interference in Mexican
internal affairs the obligations of gov
eminent authorities under interna-
tional law is being pointed out. The
matter of withdrawal of American
troops crops up repeatedly in the con-
ferences, but it is known that discus
sions for the past two days have been
more along the line of Mexico's posi-
ton as a nation. Not only Ameri-
can, but all foreign rights, have been
presented by the American commits
sioners as subjects which must be
given consideration in Mexico.
The situation has reached the point
where it involved lengthy discussion

DO YOU SUFFER
FROM BACKACHE?

When your kidneys are weak and
torpid they do not properly perform
their functions; your back aches
and you do not feel like doing much
OF anything. You are likely to be
respondent and to borrow trouble,
Just as II you hadn't enough already.
Don't be victim any longer.
The old reliable medicine, Hoods
Sarsaparilla, gives strength and tone
to the kidneys and builds up the
whole system. 3
Hoods Sarsaparilla is peculiar
combination of roots, barks and herbs
No other medicine acts like it, be-
cause no other medicine has the same
formula or ingredients. Accept no
substitute, but insist on having
Hoods, and get it today.

of every phase of Mexican life, of
economic problems and of the nation
al viewpoint toward other powers.
The Mexicans are anxious that the
mines be reopened. These are largely
owned by American interests. 1t is
realized that enc of the biggest steps
that can be taken toward rejuvenation
of Mexico is for the nation to get to
work. But, the American commits
sioners, it was learned today, are
sticking to the position that this gov
eminent cannot encourage the return
of mining men to the country, until
Carranza is in a position to guaran-
tee the safety of their lives and their
property. Such discussion simply
brings the matter back to the main
point of the American contention that
order in Mexico must be secure be-
fore Pershing can be recalled.
From statements of those closely
associated with the American COM
mission. it is evident there is to be
no weakening or shifting of RESPONSE
bility. 1t is felt that progress is
being made toward bringing Mexican
commissioners to seeing the Ameri-
can point of view and 1t is hoped
they may swing Carranza into line.

Flour at $40 Per Barrel.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Oct. 81
Millers today predicted $40 flour
wholesale and 50 per bushel wheat to
farmers. Unless rain falls In Argen-

most certainty within a month.
$3.50 to $3.50 was the price obtained
in some instances this morning. Some
millers this week are reported to be
getting SO per barrel for flour in car
load lots, but that price was thought
exceptional. rather than the average.
Second grade flour sold today at SS.4O
to $500 per barrel with flour usually
used in pastry and by bakers selling
at $7.2O to $3.50 With flour prices
this week the highest in forty years,
