tacked, no aggressive moveemnt would be undertaken until after President Will son had advised Congress of his purpose and definite authority had been granted.
 Officials profess lack of knowledge as to the time President Wilson is will ing to wait for General Carranza's s reply, saving whether he desires the United States government to consider that he has assumed a deliberately hostile attitude toward the American troops in Mexico. Although an immediate break was avert ed by release of the troopers captured at CarrjZa; officials view the formal avowal of purpose demanded of General Carranza as of immediate importance.
 The war department issued brief of- ficial statement today regarding the good ,,rogress being made in National Guard mobilization Mobilization of the Ma tianal Guard in all departments is pro- ceeding without a hitch,' it said. Large parts of the guard have already en- trained for their destination and the mus ter of the remainder is proceeding as rapidly as possible"
 Secretary Baker said he did not know how many thousand guardsmen already Ahad cached the border. There is req so q to believe, however, that upwards of 600 will have been added to the border forces within the next two or three days. Dul- ing the last 24 hours regiments from Maryland, Missouri, Wisconsin, Kansas and Pennsylvania have entrained, accord- ing to war department reports.

FEELING PINCH OF HUNGER

Fl Paso, Tex, July 2.-Curtailment of traffic between the United States and Mexico, due to the present situation, is already causing the pinch of hunger throughout the southern republic, accord ing to late arrivals from Mexico.
 In Nuevo Laredo and Coahuila it is stated, the troops even now are stripping the growing grain, while there has been a marked cesscation of planting through out even the richer agricultural districts of the country.
 In large measure these conditions are due to the number of troops now under arms in Mexico.
 According to estimates said to be con- servative, the three Mexican commanders have upwards of 120,O0O men under arms. Gen. Pablo Gonzales is said to have 40, oO men, General Obregon 50,000 and Gen. Jacinto Trevino 5000. These estimates, however, probably include certain pro- portion of camp followers.
 The First Vermont infantry arrived here today and went into camp. The Mary land and Kansas troops are expected in the near future.

WON BUELOW SAYS GERMANY
 WILL NOT BE SATISFIED WITH ANTE-BELLUM STATUS

Berlin, via London, July 2.-Prince Won Buelow asserts that Germany must have something more than pre-war conditions when peace is declared, in a preface to his book German Policies" just issued. The former imperial chancellor maintains that the re-establishment of national lines as they existed prior to the war would mean loss to Germany
 Declaring that Germany will have to reckon after the war with the bitter hatred of France, England and Russia, he continues:
 This fact must dictate the form which peace shall assume The protection which Germany will find against renewed and new lust for revenge in the west and east and across the channel, can only be in its own increased power. Our enemies, too, will strengthen armaments on land and water, and we, for our part, must meet this condition. We must make our selves stronger and harder to be attacked on our borders and coasts than we were at the beginning of this war, not for the sake of striving for world supremacy with which we have been falsely charged, but in order to maintain ourselves against our foes.
 'The result of the war must not be negative but positive. It is not a question

but the movement of iron ore into lower lake ports promises to make a new yearly record. Automobile and rubber fac tories are doing an enormous business and mercantile trade is active.
 Hardware, boots and shoes, dry goods and allied industries all show gains in the St. Louis district, and railroad earn ings are increased both net and gross.
 A growing unrest in labor organiza- tions is reported from Kansas City. Building operations have been especially hampered and there is a serious short age of harvest hands. Kansas alone must import 45,0O0 men.
 In considerable portion of the south west, crop conditions are unfavorable, says the report from Dallas. It is estf- mated that 75 per cent of the farms have not been planted or will have to be re- planted. Most of the stock men are shipping their cattle away for pasturage.
 Wine grape growers in the San Fran cisco district are being offered the high est prices, and packers of dried fruits are predicting record prices. Mining has been the most profitable industry. The production of petroleum is increasing and commercial conditions are better than normal

LEXINGTON, KY. MAN SAYS HIS MUSCLES WERE TIED IN KNOT
That Is Exactly the Way J. F. Holley Says His Rheu-
 matism Acted

This is the first medicine I have ever taken that really does just what they say it will do," said J. F. Horey, a well known Lexington, Ky, man.
 T haven't felt like a well man for 1e weeks past and my whole system seemed to be run down and facilitated. I could not sleep at night and I would feel just as tired in the morning as l did upon going to bed at night. My digestion be- came affected and 1 couldn't eat. Attacks of headaches were frequent and my nerv- ous system seemed to be all disordered.
 My worst trouble, however, was rheu- matism. The doctors said 1 suffered from what is known as muscular rheumatism. My muscles seemed as if they were tied up in a knot.
 'I couldn't use my right arm and was just about helpless. Somebody persuaded me to try Tanlac and I got bottle of that medicine. Tanlac Is certainly mak- ing a new man out of me. can now sleep and eat like I haven't been able to do in years. My rheumatism is all gone and I feel strong and built up in every way. I am well man and cer- tainly thank the friend who suggested my using this remarkable medicine"
 J. B. Woodward, another Lexington man, who lives at 256 Rand avenue, that city, said:
 q suffered fro mstomach trouble, rheu- matism and neuralgia for years, Be- fore I took this medicine l actually could not raise my left hand to my head. It had been that way for fully two years.
 q have used Tanlac for about two or three weeks now and I am like a new man. My family and my friends see the difference and it is the actual truth. 1 take great pleasure in recommending this medicine, Tanlac."
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclusive ly by Patton-Pope Drug Co.,, and Eugene Jacobs Drug Co.,; in Ensley by D. w. Morris Drug Co.,, in Bessemer by Pegram- Patton Drug Co.,, in North Birmingham by Walton Drug Co.,. and in Pratt City by Gale Drug Co.-Adv.

 A cast either commit suicide or A A are murdered in '"The Eternal Sapho," it is an interesting picture to those who lean favorably towards Miss Theda Bara as film vampire" "The Eternal Sapho" is booked at the Majestic theatre today and tomorrow and is likely to draw great crowds, as it is a typical sex play of the sex uous" sort.
 Miss Theda Barrow in "The Eternal Sapho' shows some improvement in her emotional scenes, although she still places dependence on the heaving of her breast to denote intense excite ment or anything that is supposed to be dramatic In this forte Miss Bara lacks originality as every other photo play actress does the very same thing in interpreting emotion. It is called acting.
 Nevertheless "The Eternal Sapho'' will satisfy the local public and the Majestic theatre is bound to have a good attendance for the next two days.

 Tn the face of feelings against us which this war will leave, the simple rel establishment of the status quo ante bellum for Germany would mean a loss and not a gain. We shall not be able to say with a good conscience that our gem eral situation has been bettered by the
