WILSON AND CABINET MAKE DE-
CiSlON AS TO MEXICAN SITU-
ATION-cARRANZA NOTE
is UNANSWERED.
STONE SEES WITHDRAWAL
OR INTERVENTION AT HAND
Senator Believes Expedition Has
Accomplished All 1t Can-Fun-
ston' Asks for More Troops
To Change Supply
Base to ojinaga.

Washington, April 15.-American
troops will remain in MeXico-for the
present, at least. The cabinet has de-
termined upon no change of policy to-
ward the Mexican situation.
This mean the hunt for Villa will
proceed.
After the session it was stated no
answer had been made to General
Carranza's suggestion for withdrawal
of the American forces aud that Con-
sui Rodgers had not been instructed
to treat with Carranza toward an annie
able settlement of the suggestion.
Cabinet members would not indicate
when a reply will be made.
To Get Facts Before Acting.
The disposition to gather all facts
before attempting final action was
unanimous.
No light on the stand taken by the
President himself at the conference
was obtainable. But Senator Stone,
chairman of the senate foreign rela-
tions committee, returned to the CAPT
tai after a session with Secretary of
State Lansing and gave out an inter
view that plainly expressed his belief
that the American army should be
withdrawn from Mexico.
Withdrawal or Intervention.
Withdrawal or Intervention in Mex
leo r the only two courses left to
the United States, Senator Stone said.
Stone said he believed the punitive
expedition has accomplished all it can.
At the White House no comment
was made on Stones statements ex-
cept that the Senate leader spoke only
for himself.
Though Secretary Baker refused to
verify it, it was learned that the War
department has received an official
suggestion to change it's main supply
base from Columbus, N. NJ, to DINA
ga. 1t was also indicated General
Funston has asked for additional
troops.

Bow Accused of Murder. Freed.

Red Lodge.-District Judge A. c.
Spencer has released Ernest Arnold,
the 15-year-old boy who was charged
with the murder of Charles Steiner, on
a writ of habeas corpus. Steiner was
found shot to death on his lonely ranch
20 miles southeast of here early in
January. Judge Spencer, after review
ing all of the evidence that was ad-
duced at the preliminary hearing, de-
cided that it was insufficient to war
ram the justice of the peace in binding
the boy ove for trial and that there
was not probable cause of his guilt.

Get the Habit of
Drinking Hot Water
Before Breakfast
Says we can't look or feel right
with the system full
of poisons.

Millions of folks battle internally
now instead of loading their system
with drugs. Whats an inside bath?''
you say. Well, it is guaranteed to per-
form miracles if you could believe
these hot water enthusiasts.
There are vast numbers of men and
women who, Immediately upon arising
in the morning, drink a glass of real
hot water with a teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it. This is a very
excellent health measure. 1t is in
tended to flush the stomach, liver, kid
neyS and the thirty feet of intestines
of the previous days waste, soul bile
and indigestible material left over in
the body which, if not eliminated every
day, become food for the millions of
bacteria which infest the bowels, the
quick result is poisons and toxins
which are then absorbed into the
blood causing headache, bilious at
stomach trouble, kidney misery, sleep
lessness, impure blood and all sorts
of ailments.
People who feel good one day and
badly the next, but who simply can
not get feeling right are urged to OBJ
tain a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from any druggist or store
keeper. This will cost very little but
is sufficient 10 make anyone a real
crank on the subject Of internal sani-
tation.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, s~weetening and
freshening, so limestone phosphate
and hot water act on the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels. 1t is vast.
~ more important TO battle on the in.
side than on the outside, because the
skin pores do not absorb impurities in

LIGHT WHEAT CROP IN STATE
Report Says Loss from cptworms May
Reach 4 Per Cent.

Billiags.-Montana's wheat crop will
not De so large in 1915 as in 1915.
Authentic information is at hand as
to losses from winter killing and the
appearance of the cutworm fixes the
loss at 40 per cent.
The chief damage appears to have
been done in the Judith basin country
and Gallatin and Yellowstone valleys.
Another reason for a smaller crop lies
in the fact that last years yield was
so heavy that the farmers could not
get their ground prepared for fall seed
ing.
In many sections, farmers are re-
planting killed out areas with Marquis
and Spring club wheat Poisoned bran
mash is being used to combat the cut
worm.
