AMERICANS HALTED
EY MEXICAN MILITIA.

y
American forces pursued the law
less bands as far as Parral, where
the pursuit was halted by the hos
tility of MeXicans, presumed to be
Ioyal 20 the dc facto government,
who arrayed themselves on the side
Of outlawry and became in effect
the protectors of Villa and his
hand.
In this manner and for these rea-
sons have the American forces en-
tered Mexican territory Knowing
fully the circumstances set forth
the de facto government cannot be
blind TO the necessity which COM
PEELED this government TO act. and
vet IL has seen fit TO recite ground
less sentiments of hostility toward
the expedition and to impute to this
government Interior motives for the
continued presence of American
troops on Mexican soil.
It is charged that these troops
crossed the frontier without first OBJ
tanning the consent or permission OF
the de facto government. Obvious
". as immediate action alone could
avail, there was no opportunity to
reach an agreement (other than
that Of March 1913, now repu-
dated by General Carranza) prior
to the entrance of such an expedi-
ton into Mexico, If the expedition
was to be effective.
CARRANzA COULDN'T
FULFILL AGREEMENT.
Subsequent events and corre-
spondence have demonstrated to the
satisfaction Of this government that
General Carranza would not have
entered into any agreement provid-
ing for an effective plan for the
capture and destruction of the Villa
bands. While the American troops
were moving rapidly southwark in
pursuit of the raiders il was the
form and nature of the agreement
that occupied the attention of Gen.
Carranza rather than the practical
object which IL was to attain-the
number Of limitations that could be
imposed upon the American forces
20 impede their progress rather
than the obstacles that could be
raised TO prevent the escape of the
outlaws

Getting Old Too Fast?

Late in life the body is likely to
show signs of wear. Often the
kidneys are the first organs to
weaken. The back becomes lame,
weak and achy, the joints stiff, and
the kidney action distressing.
This condition makes you feel
older than you are.
Why not feel younger?
Life is much pleasanter when
the kidneys are we'll.
Don't wait for the worst effects
Of bad kidneys-gravel, dropsy,
hardening of the arteries, and
Bright's disease.
