Nearly eight years ago Hughes ac-
cepted the gubernatorial nomination
In Madison Square garden. At that
time and in the campaign which fol-
lowed, he was adjudged one Of the
best campaigners New York had ever
seen. Considerably grayer of beard
and more bald last night than on that
other night Of acceptance. Hughes ex-
hibited no diminutlon OF vigor In his
stumping ability. in the opinion Of
those who knew him in other days.
On his transcontinental trip, start
ing Saturday, his supporters expect
him to give the country a sample Of
the sort Of campaigning that made
him famous in the gubernatorial race.
Following Is a symposium of edi-
torial comment on the acceptance

last night:
New York Tribune---One clear
note runs through the whole OF Mr.,
Hughes speech, IT is a challenge Of
incapaclty, an indictment OF failure,
II is rightly an Indictment OF Wilson's
scattering point OF view, But II would
be idle to pretend that portion OF the
address which deals with the Lusi-
tania massacre is satisfactory to the

new appears In the speech. II will be
remembered he wishes to make the
Mexican question the burning issue so
that citizens accused OF APPROXIMATION

dor Gerard and given out by the state
department today.
Germany places the blame for the
food scarcity in Poland on the Rus
sian army, which Germany claims de-
lstroyed or confiscated all the food
stunts in Its retreat.
The note said the German govern
ment had offered all the guarantees
regarding Polish relief which were
consistent with the requirements Of
war and that 1t is England's fault
that the American relief was required
several months ago, as 1t was in
northern France.
As October was the date set for
the end of any relief agreement
made. the note said further negotia-
tions are devoid Of purpose. How
ever. Germany claims that the COM
ing harvest, due to extensive culti-
walton. win furnish enough food for
the civil population Of Poland and
Luthania. although some hardship
will be felt until the harvest.

Debility is a loss OF vitality, not Affect

but thesystem generally. tits dangerous
because it reduces the body's resistance
to disease.
When debility follows acute diseases,
convalescence is slow and the strength
does not return as it should. An attack
of the grip often results in debility that
persists for months. Everybody recog-
nizes that the remedy for debility is to
build up the blood because the blood
goes to every part of the body and amin
provement in its condition is quickly
felt throughout the system. The prob
lem in every case is to find something
that will enrich the blood.

FL Paso, Tex, March 3.-Felix Diaz
nephew of the former Mexican president,
Porfrio Diaz, who is said to have landed
on the east coast of Mexico TO launch a
new revolt, has effected an understanding
with Zapata and the followers of Villa,
according to friends of the latter here,
They declare that conference here last
week with emissaries of Diaz had result
ed in an agreement. A junta, it was
also stated had also been established
here, but federal officials who examined
a number of refugee Mexicaus suspected
OF being interested in the movement, said
they were unable to secure definite in
formation concerning its operations.
Villa followers frankly declared that
their leader, the prescribed Chihuahua
chieftain, would willingly co operate with
Diaz. Villa previously had an under
standing with Zapata. Villas principal
desire, they said was to overthrow Car
rama and he would give or accept any
aid in accomplishing that purpose.
Villa partisans, who said they took
part in the conferences, declared they
had been assured that Diaz was amply
provided with funds to finance far
reaching revolt in Mexico but that no
proof was furnished them. If Daz had
sufficient financial backing. they declared,
his revolt would succeed If not, it
would fail.
