WASHINGTON, December 20. -
That this government is about to re-
lax its position with regard to Mexi-
co and make actual concessions to
Carranza is a growing belief in Of
fetal circles here. The suggestion
was made this afternoon that PERISH
ing's column ought to be withdrawn
regardless of the protocol situation.
Army men upon being informed
of this said thsre was no military
reason for keeping Pershing and the
punitive expedition where 1t is.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 29.-Effective
work on the plan of a corporate I'M
ion OF the two Methodist Episcopal
churches began today when the two
committees met in joint session for
organization All sessions of the
commission will be executive and Sc
cret, even the representatives of the
church papers being excluded. The
conference is expected to continue
until next week.
Almost any one of the fifty COM
missioners will unhesitatingly state
officially that union OF the two
bodies is ardently desired if it is pos
sible to unite them with complete
unanimity OF spirit. yet none will
discuss a definite prospect.
Bishop Cranston of the northern
wing and Bishop Mouzon of the
southern wing of the church have
been foremost among the advocates
of the union and they consider the
disunion almost an iniquity.

SALTS IN HOT WATER
 CLEARS PIMPLY SKIN
Says we must make kidneys clean the blood and pimples dis
 appear.

Pimples, sores and boils usually re- suit from toxins poisons and impur- ities which are generated in the bowels and then absorbed into the blood through the very ducts which should absorb only nourishment to sustain the body.
 It is the function of the kidneys to filter impurities from the blood and cast them out in the form of urine, but in many instances the bowels create more toxins and impurities than the kidneys can eliminate, then the blood uses the skin pores as the next best means of getting rid of these impurities which often break out all over the skin in the form of pimples.
 The surest way to clear the skin of these eruptions, says a noted author ity, is to get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts and take water each morning before breakfast for one week. This will prevent the formation of toxins in the bowels. It also stimulates the kidneys to normal activity, thus coaxing them to filter the blood of impurities and clearing the skin of pimples.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent drink which usually makes pimples disappear; cleanses the blood and is excellent for the kidneys as well.

NATION NEEDS ARMY
 OF 2lO,O00 MEN
Maj.-Gen. Wood Attacks Volun-
 teer and Militia Schemes

Washington, Jan. 20-Major Gen. eral Leonard Wood, former chief of staff of the army, portrayed before the senate military affairs committee yesterday the helpless plight in which the United States would find itself if confronted by war. General Woods testimony was the most impressive that has yet been given, and the fact that he is regarded as the best quali- fled expert in the United States added to the interest with which his opinions were received.
 Theorists Dream.
 He characterized the theory that the nations of Europe will be ex- hausted after the war and unable to launch a campaign against the United States as a theorists dream.
 Wants Army of 21O,OOO.
 General Wood suggested increasing thearmy to 210,00O men within the United States and it's colonial posses sions, advocated the enactment of an enlistment law which would pave the way for the establishment of a trained reserve of twice that number of men and proposed as a basis for future action a system of universal military service for all citizens in one capacity or another.
 With suffrage,'' he said, "goes the obligation for service. We cannot af- ford to go on the volunteer system any longer The voluntary system as such has been a dismal failure in any war we have been engaged in. It is a rotten system. We did not even fill our regiments during the Spanish war.
 Condemns Militia System.
 General Wood condemned unre- servedly the militia system on which Representative Hay, chairman of the house committee on military affairs, i,as built plans for increasing the mili- 'vary forces of the United States.
 'If we have war;" said General Wood i've must have at least 2,000,- OcO men. It is perfect folly to dicker with any system that provides less" Reserve of 45,OOO Officers. The most imperative step to be taken by the United States, said Gen. eral Wood, is the establishment of a reserve of officers numbering 45, 5,OOC men. To accomplish this he suggested the utilization of the land grant col leges and military colleges of the country. At Harvard, Princeton and other colleges officers training corps have been established already. Would Use Private Plants. The number of rifles now being turned out for foreign buyers would be insufficient for the United States in time of war.
 Private plants should be utilized suggested General Wood, 'as nuclei around which to build an industrial system for military uses. Some of these should be established in the Mississippi Valley and the far West. The maintenance of necessary supplies of raw materials should be carefully considered.

lowing on privation, were discovered among the Serbian troops. And are the crews of French, English or Itai- ian transports afraid of the disease? In any case, all preventive measures have been taken.
 "The population of Corfu is most sympathetic toward the French Alpine soldiers The French government is sending grain and other provisions in advance.
 "The charges about the bridge at Demir Hissar and without foundation. The cost of the bridge will be repaid. It was indispensable to blow up the bridge to prevent or embarass the enemy's transportation of his heavy artillery.
 The king says there are no troops cease telling the allies that they are going to be attacked and destroyed If they do not quit the place forthwith.
 Cannot Change Truth.
 AS to the violent epithets the king applied to the policy of the allies, they cannot change the truth. The Greek government were so little con- vinced that the Gallipoli enterprise
 
 every means to take part in it, and it was only their exaggerated demands that caused their cooperation to be refused. If the enterprise has been d failure and the Serbs have been crushed, the fact is due to Greece's declining to fulfill her engagements as an ally towards Serbia ana allowing her territory to be surrounded by the armies of her bitterest enemy.
 AS to the sympathies of the Greek people, it is enough to examine the figures regarding recent abstentions at the last elections to see what they mean, or to recall the fact that awhile ago M. Xenizel&s, the friend of the entente, was cheered by thousands of people.
 "The king declares he cannot demo- bilize.
 Allies Advincing Money.
 He fails to add that the allies con- tinue, at his request, to advance money to Greece for it's mobilization He is afraid Saloniki will De no longer Greek if the allies are driven from . Then why does he want to persuade the allies to go." And why does he not take his place beside them
 "Concerning his opinion about the result of the war, it is pleasant that a sovereign so much impressed by Ger many's power publicly avows that she cannot be victorious. This shows how right and impartial people are in pro claiming that she will be crushed.'"

FTREMEN NOW SEEK
 SALARY INCREASE
Petition Signed By the Men Asks for Fifteen Per Gent. Boost
 Valid Reasons Urged.

The high cost of living has at last struck the fire department and is nanifesting itself in petition by the nermanent members to the board of public safety for an increase of fifteen per cent. Some of the members felt that a. twenty-five per cent. raise would be about right, figuring like d certain class of business men that the way to get what you want is to ask more than you expect or hope to ob- tain. This scheme, however, was drowned upon by the more thought full, who arrived at the conclusion that a demand for quarter increase would result in the whole thing being thrown down.
