WASHINGTON, June IA charge
that foreign born citizens of the United
States are trying to levy political
blackmail and to undermine the influ-
ence of the national government was
made by President Wilson in a Flag
Day speech here today. Ills assertion
sounded the keynote of one of the
foremost issues on which he will go be-
fore the country for reelection, and
touched upon platform declaration
which will be submitted by the ad-
ministration to the St. Louis conven-
ton
The president spoke before a crowd
of thousands gathered at the foot of
the Washington monument after he
had reviewed for five hours a great
preparedness parade at the head of
which he himself had marched down
Pennsylvania avenue. He declared
that not since the Civil War had it been
tested as it now is being tested
whether the stars and stripes stood
for any one united purpose.
There is disloyalty active in the
United States and it must be abso-
lutely crushed" declared the president,

The presidents words were taken as
an open challenge to foreign born
Americans who, he had learned from
foreign language newspapers and other
sources, are opposing him for re-elec-

DEFACTO MONEY
PLAN SAID To
De CO[LAPS|NC
In Default of Substantial
Foreign Aid Uneasiness
Among Mexican People
Grows Owing TO the
Money Stringency
[Rerublican A. p. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON, June I4.-With al
government departments closed in OBJ
servance of Flag Day, there were no
developments here today in the Mex
lean situation. A few kilograms
reached the war and state depart
ments but officials said they con-
tanned nothing of Importance. A mes
sage TO the navy departments from
the west coast said a large number
of Carranza troops were being trans
ferred by water from Guaymas TO
Mazatlan The reason for the move
ment was not reported.
Whatever is TO be the outcome of
the involved situation beyond the
border. officials here are certain that
the. presence of American troops ON
Mexican soil is only one element, and
perhaps lesser one, among those
contributing to unrest in Mexico. The
real key to the situation, many Of
those in close touch with it believe, is
the apparent collapse of the de facto
governments effort to adjust the fl
nancial problem, in default of sub
stantial foreign aid.
! Consular reports have Indicated
growing uneasiness among the Mex
ican people owing to the money strin-
/ gency The country has been flooded
with issue after issue Of worthless
paper. while its diminished stock Of
! precious metal has been squeezed
again and again TO find the means
of paying for war material and other
! governmental supplies which could be
procured only on a flat cash basis
It is evident that many officials
believe the collapse of the de facto
government is more to be expected
than any overt act by that govern
ment against the United States. out
of such a collapse, it is feared there
might come an ill-advised attempt to
eject the American troops sent to
i pursue Villa and his bandits.
With most of the population utterly
ignorant of true conditions. it was
pointed out that agitators might have
an easy task in spreading the i'm
preston that Americans are respon-
5 sible for Mexico's economic and 9th
er troubles. Such resident American:

mediately without torture. One pris-
oner, who escaped, brought word to
Huepac that the Mexican Huero di-
rected the killing and seemed to take
fiendish delight in the sufferings of
his victims.
The little towns in the southern part
of the Moctezuma and Arizpe districts
are begging for soldiers, but thus far
little attention has been paid to them
and the concentration of troops toward
the north continues, the Americans say.
People from the southern part of the
state are pouring into the larger towns
in the two districts afoot or in any kind
of vehicle they could command. aban-
doning everything except the few ar
ticles they could carry away. Renewed
reports of Yaqui activity in the north
ern part of the Alamos district today
indicate the failure of the campaign of
the de facto troops in southern Sonora.

DOUGLAS, June 14.-At least a
score of bands of Yaaui Indians, num-
bering from ten to fifty members, are
operating along the Sonora river, about
one hundred miles south of the border,
according to Americans arriving to-
day. Several bands have crossed the
river and are now in the hills to the
west of Moctezuma, further north than
they have come in force at any time
in the past.
Within the last two weeks one band
of about forty members, led by rene
gade Mexican known as "Huero' have
murdered eight Mexican woodcutters

A GOOD CHANGE.
A Change Of Food Works Wonders.

Wrong food and drink cause lot of
trouble in this world. To change is
first aid when a person is i'll, particu-
larly from stomach and nervous trou-
bles. AS an illustrations: A lady in
Mo. was brought around to health
again by leaving off coffee and some
articles of food that did not agree with
her.
She says:
For a number of years I suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble which
kept getting worse until I was i'll
most of the time. About four years
ago I left of coffee and began using
Postum. My stomach and bowels
improved right along, but was so re-
duced in flesh and so nervous that the
least thing would overcome me.
Then l changed my food and began
using Grape-Nuts in addition to
Postum. l lived on these two princi-
pally for about four months. Day by
day gained in flesh and strength un.
til the nervous trouble had disap-
peared. I feel that 1 owe my health
to Postum and Grape-Nuts.
Husband was troubled, for long
time, with occasional cramps, and
slept badly. Finally I prevailed upon
him to leave OF coffee and take
Postum. After he tried Postum for
few days he found that he could
sleep and that his cramps disappeared.
He never went back to coffee" Name
