GAVE ME ; MONTHS TO
LIVE SAYS COLUMBIAN
MISS GARRICK SAYS SHE WAS
TOLD HER CASE WAS HOPELESS
Prophecy Failed, But Not Until One
Year Later Did Her Great
Joy Come.

"You have about three months to
live" Miss Effie Garrick, of ITO
Huger ST., Columbia, was told, after
she had undergone an operation for
stomach trouble, more than year
ago. Miss Garrick says, 81 did not die,
but l did continue to feel terribly un-
til l recently found a means of COM
batting my troubles"
Miss Garrick says she believes she
has at last found means of restoring
her health, which, all too soon for her
years, has continually threatened to
break down completely during the
past ten years She has been suf-
ferer with stomach trouble and sew
eral kindred ailments which reduced
her health to state which made her
almost wretched all the time, she said.
Tanlac, the master medicine, Miss
Garrick believes, will prove its super
ior worth in her case, as it has in
hundreds of other cases in South Cat
olina. Her statement follows:
II suffered for ten years with stom-
ach trouble, indigestion, nervousness,
sleeplessness and awful headaches My
system all the time was in q very
much run down condition. More than
a year ago l became so i'll that I felt
l would die. After l had undergone
an operation, l was told 1 could hard
ly live more than three months.
"Of course, l did not die, but I did
continue to feel terribly. Nothing
seemed to relieve my troubles. l took
many kinds of medicines, but to no
avail. l would have headaches fire.
quently, and they were SO painful l
thought l surely would go crazy.
While l had a headache, l was forced
10 stay in my bed. l would suffer with
a heavy, full feeling about my stomach
after eating. and l had little appe-
tite. l was forced to eat very light
diet. My condition had been growing
steadily worse for the past ten years.
81 decided to try Tanlac, as sort I
of forlorn hope, as had read so much !
about its wonderful effects. The first
bottle relieved my stomach trouble to
an extent l consider remarkable.

became enormous, so much did it i'm
prove. l would wake at night and be
so hungry I would have to get some
thing to eat. My system responded
to Tanlac, and built up
rapidly.
'FTanlac is a great medicine, and
am always glad to recommend it. 1t
is due many good words, for it is SO
valuable a remedy"

Cannot Concede Right
To Sink Without Notice
United States Does Not Intend to DeUiate From its Posi-
tior That Merchantmen Are Entitled to Some Warn
ing-CEash on Subject Seems Unlikely.

Washington, Feb. 15.-The United
States, it was said on high authority
at the state department today, con-
cedes that the entente allies are with
in their rights under prevailing inter-
national law in arming merchant
ships for defensive purposes, no mat
ter what conditions exist on the seas.
Consequently it is admitted that
should the allies decline to adopt the
American suggestion to disarm mer-
chantmen, founded primarily upon
desire to save the lives of innocent
aon-combatantS, this government can
not announce its approval Of the is
tention of the Teutonic powers to tor
pedo without Warming after March
all armed vessels, although various
high officials are convinced that the
position of Germany and austria is
justified. State department officials
now are engaged in trying to deter
mine just what will happen when the
commanders of German and Austrian
submarines begin to put their new in
structions into effect. 1t is said, too,
that the United States in the near flu
ture may make some inquiries as to
how the central powers intend to de-
termine whether merchantmen en-
countered by their submarines are
armed.
In response to inquiries regarding
this. it was said tonight by high Teu-
tonic authority that the German and
Austrian governments would under
no consideration disregard the as
surances given the United States in
regard to the conduct of submarine
warfare. Attention was called par
ticularly to the fact that the German
government had assured the United
States that liners would not be attack
ed without warning. These assurances
it was said, had not been and would
not be repudiated, and for that reason
liners in service between the United
States and western Europe would not
be attacked without warning even If
they had defensive armament aboard
Teutonic officials were not inclined
to believe that such an issue would
arise as Great Britain had agreed that
its SHIPS entering American waters
shall not be armed.
In both diplomatic and official cir
cles doubt even was expressed that
the new policy would in the slightest
way affect conditions in the Atlantic,
although it was admitted that should
ane Italian government persist in
erming it's merchantmen difficulty
might arise in the Mediterranean.
State department officials recognize
shat the action of the German and
Austrian governments is a develop
ment of the recent American sugges-
tions.
The department, however, does not
feel obliged to take any action, at least
until it has received replies to its own
memorandum IT, the entente allies re-
garding the disarming of merchant
men.
Consideration is being given to the
advisability of amending the instruc-
tons to port authorities in regard to
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1916-02-18

the rights of merchantmen to arm for
defensive purposes, and the limita-
tions of the armament.
The state department has let it be
known that it mad no intention of
changing the law on the subject OF
arming merchant ships on it's own ac-
count and that such a move could be
made only with the consent Of all pow
ers affected. But the United States
in consideration of the changed con-
ditions of naval warfare, can amend
it's instructions to the port authorities.
1t might, it was suggested, revise its
instructions so as to permit merchant
ships to clear with guns of a calibre
useful solely for defensive purposes
and yet not large enough to be ef-
fective against submarines at a dis
tance from which warning safely.could
be given.
The Main question.
The entire matter, as the state de-
pertinent now views il, turns about
the question of what constitutes de-
fensi7e armament 1t is admitted that
the line, between where defensiv pow
ceases and offensive power begins
is difficult to draw, and authorities
on international law in the department
say question Will have to be consid-
cred by international conferences at
the conclusion of the war.
cit was with these questions in
mind" said a high official, "that the
United States attempted to secure a
temporary agreement in the nature
of modus vivendi yith the sole pur-
pose of saving life if that could be
done"
The same official strongly indicated
that the department virtually had de-
cided it would not during the course
Of the war deny armed merchant ships
of the entente allies access to Ameri-
man ports and that its efforts would
be confined to revising instructions to
port authorities with view of making
! sure that sucn ships are not offensive
ly armed.
Officials also indicated that they
would consider separately the class
of each armed ship coming into Amer
lean waters and that the action taken
would depend upon the facts. The
same course, it was said, will be pur-
sued in the case of ships attacked or
engaged under the new German in
structions
High officials were not prepared 20
pass on the question as to how far
armed vessels would be justified i'll
resisting capture. They said that the
contention that merchant ships could
not resist at all might lead to the
absurd conclusion" that a 50-foot
motor boat, armed with 1-pounder
gun. could capture the biggest ocean
liner without risk to itself.
From German quarters tonight came
the statement that the German gov
ernment never had expected that the
entente allies would accept the sug-
gestions made by the United States as
they apparel to uphold the right to
sink ships which can not be taken into
port.

TRIES TO END DEADLOCK

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-The Presi-
dents power to call National Guardsmen
into Mexican service, paralyzed for the
time by the Congressional deadlock, Mr..
Wilson was expected to request leaders of
both houses to get together and adopt a
draft resolution
While the two houses are fighting over
whether to pay the dependents of family
men who must leave for the front or to ex-
empt such men from service, army officers in
charge of the Mexican situation are unable
to make plans.
Meantime, Chairman Hay. of the House,
and Chamberlain, of the Senate Military
Committees, each was endeavoring TO get
presidential support for his side of the con-
troversy. They were to be instructed by
their various branches today how to pro-
ceed further, their inability to agree beinT
formally submitted to both branches.
Leaders have virtually agreed that II war
with Mexico results, Congress will remain
in session. despite the anxiety of members

MEXICAN CRISIS GIVES
LEADERS IN CONGRESS
PUZZLEOVER REVENUES
Face Expenditures of $150,000,-
900 More Than the House \
Bill Ready for Passage
Provides
CLASH ON BOND ISSUE

WASHINGTON, June 2s.--Congressional
leaders today sought to patch up their plans
for raising revenues shattered by tho in
creased preparedness appropriations result
ing from the Mexican crisis The leaders
found themselves with a 1910, 100000 reve-
nue. bill ready for passage by the House,
and expenditures exceeding by more than
$3.50, 100000 the estimates on which the
revenue measure was based
Majority Leader Kitchin, of the House,
and his colleagues on the Ways and Means
Committee. had planned to pass The revenue
bill on a peace basis and to allow the Ad-
ministraton to take care of Mexican eX-
penses by an issue of war bonds. But
conferences between Representative Kitchin
and Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo de-
veloped extraordinary appropriations al
ready made including 800, 900 added to
the naval appropriation bill In the Senate,
$4,000, 900 added to the army bill in the
House, and a s25,0O0.000 urgent deficiency
bill now before the House would necesstate
the raising of at least 500, 100000 more
than the Ways and Means Democrats had
provided for in the revenue bill.
Secretary McAdoo suggested that add-
tional taxes be placed in the revenue
measure to meet the exigency. but the con-
gressional leaders oppose this plan. They
say that the 500. 900 can be obtained by
an issue of Panama Canal bonds covering
the amount of money the Democratic
Administration has paid for canal expenses
out of current revenues. These bonds are
already authorized and awaiting issue. The
House Democrats also pointed out that
increased income tax returns and other
increased revenue would leave a general
fund balance of nearly 5000, 100000 in the
Treasury at the end of the fiscal year. Half
of this they said, could easily be used to
meet the S100,000,000 additional expendi-
lures.
Secretary McAdoo showed an inclination
to make an effort to finance the Mexican
difficulty without a bond ISSUE by raising
taxes, but the House Democrats are strongly
opposed to this plan.

CENSORSHIP SHROUDS WAR MOVES
ON BORDER; ARMED CLASH EXPECTED
"Foks Back Home Who Look for News of Guardsmen
May Be Disappointed officers Watch for
Spies of Mexican Government

Ell PASo, June 2s-Censorship began to
close In on the preparations for the planned
expedition In Mexico by United States
forces by way OF Juarez. and detailed ac-
counts of troop movements were shielded
today with military secrecy At the same
time 1t became known that the officials Of
the American army here. the centre of the
pulsng situation, had already named the
censorship stan that will delete the reports
of the correspondents on the border The
Western Union Telegraph Company an
nounced that communication with Mexico
by way OF Nogales had been suspended
until further notice.
At Columbus. N. NJ. there are today five
censors where one was sufficient to pass all
reports The tightening OF information
sources was taken as a certain indication
that speedy action is contemplated.
II is known that military activities are
always preceded by an application of cen
sorshlp and todays restrictions promised
an early movement of troops Army officers
here are certain that It will be their task
to fight their way to Chihuahua City and
secure the release CT the American troopers
there, and they are eager for the task.
GRIP BEGINS TO TIGHTEN.
The rigors of censorship will be especially
hard on the folks back home" who Will
be anxious to hear news OF the experiences
of the guardsmen 1t is upon militia move
ments that the grip OF censorship nrst DeBan
to close.
Information regarding disposition of these
bodies was refused, although 1t is known
that all plans for the placing of the various
guardsmen organizations had been made.
It was expected that soon the first regi-
ments from the East would be brought to
their posts in the El Paso district and at
other points along the border.
1t is no secret that the Mexican de facto
a a
system Of espionage. The danger of spies
may be more easily comprehended when 1t
is said that fully half of FL Paso's popula-
ton is made UP of Mexicans, and In the
other border towns the proportion is even
moro overwhelming.
WIRELESS ON MEXICAN SIDE.
Somewhere along the border points, army
officers are certain. there is a Mexican wire
less in constant communication with the
Mexican side. In fact, Government oper-
ators have 'listened in on messages sent
from some mysterious station in which mill
tary locations were revealed and revealed
accurately
II the American army has lookout sta
tions on the tops of big buildings and the
high mountain places behind El Paso, the
Mexican Government is no less represented.
While the Americans are surveying Jparez,
the Mexicans are surveying the American
operations and the various camps about the
city.
Thus the news of the march of the Amer
lean command last week, when 1t was or
dered out for a practice march, was flashed
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1916-06-28

to Mexico almost as soon as the move
started. BY the time the troopers had
assembled and received the order to march
the news was already in Juarez and the
Juarez machine-gun squad and the civil
guard were rushed to the international
bridge approaches.
EAGER TO FIGHT "GRINGoBs"
Every hours delay in the order to move
on Juarez is giving the Mexicans an OPP
portunity to strengthen their forces From
Mexico City today came reports that 10000
young MeNcans had asked Carranza to
give them arms to fight against the hated
"gringoes." Refugees from the Interior
bring stories that $4,000 Mexicans, a great
proportion of them well-equipped cavalry,
are concentrated at villa Ahumada to re-
sist the American advance
General Trevlno. in chihuahua City, rep
resented to the War Minister Obregon that
General Pershing was retreating and that
the Carranzistas have occupied the former
American camps at Bachmba and San
Geronimo.
TREVINo'S THREAT.
"Tf Pershing attempts to re-enter these
camps we will do what we did at Carrzal"
Trevino said. THE American force in it's
new movement went north as our First
Chief ordered"
Thus the Mexican official reports prepare
the news of troop movement for the favor
able consumption of the people.
In Chihuahua City inspired pamphleteers
are dropping for the time their work of
anti-American agitation to write long
imaginative accounts of events on this side
of the Rio Grande. These reports are pub
lished on Carranzista presses and spread
broadcast.
'HoME CONSUMPTION" REPORTS.
One of them declares that President
Wilson Rnd his Cabinet have abandoned
Washington, and, guarded by n small de-
tachment OF soldiers and policemen, are
fleeing for Canada. Another says that the
Juarez commander informed General Bell
at Fort Bliss that unless the American
batteries were removed from El Paso the.
MeXicans would shell the city. The
pamphlet goes on to relate how General
Bell at first refused to comply with this
command, and how he quickly changed his
mind when the first well-directed shell of
the Mexican guns dropped on the roof of
the Paso Del Norte Hotel.
st. Louis Chicago and Detroit, the
pamphlets declare, will fall before the Mexl-
can guns two days after a declaration of
war.
