MEXICO CITY. June 2s-Reports that
the Republic of Guatemala adjoining
Mexico on the south. was preparing to
declare war on Mexico II General Car
rama began hositil:tiss with the United

would invade Mexico on the south with
well-equipped army. attacking the
rich state Of Yucatan. simuitc neous
with an attack by American troops on

He declared that the whole Guate-

Practically Every Man
Given Typhoid Serum

Practically every men in the District
militia mobilization camp has had his
nrst dose or the anti-typhoid solution
which Uncle Sam requires all his SOL
diers TO take to immunise him from
that disease.
Inc guardsmen are scheduled to have
two more doses OF the solution injected
into their arms at intervals OF ten days.
Within twenty-one days they are Sx-
pected to be immune from typhoid
fever.
Almost every man who was not inocu-
lated by the doctors at the field hos
pital and regimental infirmary Friday
marched up to the medical men yes
terday to take the shot" For several
hours a steady stream OF khaki clad
men poured to the medical tents and
the incubation was completed In the
twinkiing Of an eye IN each case.
Some OF the guardsmen dreaded what
they termed the ordeal" and one man
tainted from thinking OF being inocu-
lated. He was carried to the doctors
on stretchcr and inocuiated, and
laughed heartily q moment later over
his fears. lhe ordeal consists OF
sticking a needle into the arm and
squirting seven and half drops or
solution into the arm. There 10 abso-
iutely no pain and no danger.

Sergeant Didn't Tell
Him He Was Wanted

Private William W. Wallace reported
for duty with Battery b. Field Artil-
iery. at the District mobilization camp
today and thereby hangs a tale. Wal
lace says the trouble was due to the
failure of the FIRST sergeant to get into
he was actually needed with the bat
terry.
The provost squad. headed by Ser
geant McGrath was sent to Washing
SON. commanding Battery B. with in
structions to round up all members OF
the organization who were not In camp.
Private Wallace was found working
at the Government Printing Office,
where he Is employed. He said he had
changed his address since he was trans
ferred from Battery A to Battery B last
fall and the frst sergeant had not COM
municated with him and informed him
he was needed.

field, that the period OF so-called
prosperity we are experiencing as a
nation ia due to the normous orders
that are being received from foreign
countries, largely for munitions OF
war.
This financial epoch can be Justly
termed one OF an inflated character.
similar in many respects to that ex-
perlenced in 1873. The period Of
redemption will come, as 1t did then.
and with the policies In vogue cree
Ished by the Democratic party ta
fundamentals, the ending Of the war
will mark the end of this period of
imitation and the beginning OF an era
OF financial disaster.
Following Lincoln.
Past history should serve US we'll
in preventing another catastrophe
such ala this country has heretofore
experienced financially. How can
this be done? BY carrying out in
practical application the advice Of
the martyred Lincoln. Let all who
favor protection Of American labor
and American industry come together

principles the word union; then
