HERMAN ME|RUNG
WRITES FROM FRONT
Company M 200 Yards From
Border, But Not That
Far From--??

If anyone had remarked about a
month ago that more than 100 of the
young men of Salem would be sleeping
in their every day clothes about this
time of year, who would have believed
it7 Yet such is the fact. The boys in
Company NJ are not only sleeping in
their work clothes, but with each man
is a rifle and 80 rounds of ammunition,
and the sleeping is done on the hot
sands of southern California, within a
quarter of a mile of the Mexican
border.
Lowell Will is in receipt of letter
today from Herman Moiring, a member
of Company NJ. He writes in part:
owe are now Just 200 yards from the
Mexican border, and just quarter of a
army is camped. We are right in with
rattlesnakes, horned toads, sand, flies
and heat. 1t is just two degrees from
the hottest place ever heard of We
can see the Mexican soldiers drilling
and the races are now on at Tia Juana,
but we stay on our side of the line as
it is six months in jail if any of us
cross the border. The Mexicans have
several machine guns trained on our
camp. We have each 80 rounds of am.
munition and a rifle, and as we must
be prepared at all times, we sleep in our
clothes with the rifle and ammunition
handy. Tia Juana looks bright at night
with the casino lighted. We are busy
mostly in drilling. AT night besides
our rifles, we have plenty of company
in the way of the sand fleas. Several
of the boys walked to the coast, SIX

Villa Is Dead, Cremated
Alive and Scattered

General Pershing's Headquarters in
Mexico, July 6.-(Radio to Columbus,
n, NJ, July 7)-Villa was variously
reported dead, alive and at several diff
ferent places simultaneously, in re-
port reaching headquarters today. A
Mexican arrival stated he was an eye
witness TO the cremation of Villas
body by secret fraternity brothers of
the bandit leader. The story, un-
credited, stated the ceremony took
place in the chihuahua mountains.
One report stated Villa invaded Tor
reon with l,500 men and retired into
hiding after looting stores. Mexicans
unfriendly to the Carranza government
stated the de facto government leaders
were acquainted with Villas hiding
place in Zatateeas.
General Luis Huerrera, Carranza
leader of high standing, is reported to
be heading strong force of govern
ment troops seeking Villa in Durango

its cooperation to secure the opening
of the klamath Falls Indian reserva-

hardship if tine lands were parceled
out and the white man allowed to de-
velop. This has been done and the
business men of klamath Falls are in
clined to think it should be done in

Testimony of Brownsville
Citizens,

When a Brownsville citizen comes
to the front, telling his friends and
neighbors of his experience, you can
rely on his sincerity. The statements
of people residing in far away pla-
places do not command your conf
dence. Home endorsement is the
kind that backs Doan's Kidney Pills.
Such testimony is convincing. In
vestigation proves it true. Below is
statement of a Brownsville resi-
dent. No stronger proof of merit
can be had.
A. H. Kinney, justice of the peace,
Hatchie avenue, Brownsville, says:
81 had weak kidneys for years. | Of

to pass the kidney secretions. My
chief trouble was a deep-seated pain
