TnE MEXICAN COMMISSIONS
TASK

The Carranza government Is will
ing to have a commission Of three
Americans and three Mexicans talk
about certain points involved in the
relations of the countries. It would
"prefer" that it talk only about these
from Mexico;
Withdrawal of American troops
troubles;
Agreement on a protocol to gov
EN- future corporations Of the two
governments in suppressing border
troubles.
Inquiry to determine what inter-
csts have prompted raids across the
bctder. ~.
It is gathered from the tone with
which Washington authority COM
incnts on this Carranzae proposal,
that the American Government will
bo reasonably acquiescent.
This means that the forthcoming
conference will not deal with any
Ting concerning internal conditions
in Mexico, which are fundamentally
responsible for all the international
difficulties. 1t will not be concerned
with any permanent measures for
settlement of Mexican affairs. 1t will
carry no presumption Of authority
to give good government to that
troubled country.
It may serve to project affairs be-
yond election; then new crisis may
come If it likes.

Better Than Internal Medicines.
Relieves Colds Over Night,
Group in Fifteen Minutes.

No one knows better than the
skilled druggist, the dangerous
character of most cough and cold
preparations. To produce results,
these remedies must contain some
form of narcotic or some one Of
the coal tar products. These drugs
are injurious to the stomach, es-
pecially to the delicate stomachs
of little children. In order to ac-
quaint their customers with the
Southern method of treating Group
and cold troubles externally. the
local druggists have been giving
away 25c jars of Viek'S Vap-O-Rub,
recently introduced here from the
South. If you have not yet re-
ceived your free. package, present

Immediately, as the free supply

CHINA FILES PROTEST
AGAINST EXCLUSION
Minister Wellington Koo Says
His People Object to
Bill in Congress

WASHINGTON. May ii.--Chlns has
added her protests to those of Japan re-.
garding exclusion clauses in the proposed
new immigration law. DR.. wellington
Koo, Minister from China, It was learned
today, told Secretary Lansing, in con-
ference yesterday, Chinese throughout
America have seriously protested against
additional restrictions which the bill, u
II becomes a law, would place against the
Chinese people. He requested that the
proposed restrictions be eliminated,
Q China's objection to the immigration
bill is voiced in the following demands;
Recognition as an equal people.
Elimination of specific exclusion
acts naming the Chinese.
In support of these contentious which,
II is understood, have been presented TO
the Immigration Committee of the Sen.
ate. the Chinese cite they are a republic
and should be recognized as people
equal to the people of any other nation.
They do not insist on this point in order
TO secure rights of immigration so much
as to secure recognition, II is said. They
would be willing to be excluded II the
same exclusion applied to all other peo.
pie claiming that no distinction should
be made against them.
Their secondary contention is they
should not be specifically mentioned in
the exclusion act any more than all other
peoples.
