Il am fifty-five years old and have

"Since taking the medicine and
seeing and hearing of the remarkable
results brought about by Tanlac Ihave
become most enthusiastic about the
new medicine and at least twenty of
my fiends and neighbos have bought
a bottle and all are getting fine re-
suits. For long time everyone

icine. Go to Grant Graham and get

A POLICY OF FIRMNESS AND
CONSISTENCY NEEDED.

The Nation has no policy of
aggression toward Mexico. We
have no desire for any part of
her territory. We wish her to
have peace, stability, and pros
perity. We shall have to adopt
a new policy, a policy of firm
ness and consistency through
which alone we can promote an
enduring friendship. We de-
mand from Mexico the protec-
ton of the lives and the prop
erty of our citizens and the Sc
curity of our border from depre-
dations. Much will be gained
if Mexico is convinced that we
contemplate no meddlesome In
reference with what does not
concern US, but that we propose
to insist in a firm and candid
manner upon the performance
of international obligations. To
a stable government, appropri-
ately discharging its interna-
tional duties. we should give I'M
grudging support. A short peri
cd of firm, consistent and
friendly dealing will accomplish
more than many years f vacil-
lation.-From Mr.. Hughes

Roosevelt ApplaudS
Hughes Speech

Theodore Roosevelt sat in a box at
Carnegie Hall when Mr.. Hughes de-
livered his speech of acceptance and
vigorously ~applauded every telling
point.
The Colonel repeatedly arose and
bowed in response to the cheers for
him and the shouts of Teddy" Ted
dy!" "Hurrah for Teddy!", and when
the meeting adjourned he made the
following statement:
at is an admirable speech and l
wish to call attention to the following
points:
81 am particularly pleased with the
exposure of the folly, and worse than
folly, of Mr.. Wilson's Mexican policy
and of the way in which this policy
has brought humiliation to the United
States and disaster to Mexico itself.
Moreover, l am very glad of the
straightforward manner in which Mr..
Hughes has shown the ridicule with
which Mr.. Wilson has covered this ma
ton by the n in which he al
lowed foreign powers to gain the i'm
preston that although he used the
strongest words in diplomacy they
were not to be taken seriously.
Not Words Which Count.
"As Mr.. Hughes said, it is not words
but the strength and resolution behind
the words which count. AS Mr..
Hughes pointed out, there is no doubt
that if Mr.. Wilson's conduct and &C
ton had been such as to make the
foreign nations believe that he meant
precisely what he said in his strict
accountability there would have been
no destruction of American lives by
the sinking of the Lusitania.
when Mr.. Hughes uses strong
words his record shows that they are
always backed by strong deeds, and
therefore in the enormou majority of
cases the use of strong words renders
1t unnecessary ever to have occurs
to strong deeds.
again, Mr.. Hughes speaks in char
acteristically straightforward fash
lon of the outrages committed on mu-
nitions plants, and all men, whether
citizens of foreign nations or nominal
citizens of our own land, who had In
any shape OF way abetted or condoned
those actions can understand that Mr..
Hughes, II President, will protect
these domestic American interests and
punish offenders against them with
the fearlessness and thoroughness
that he showed in dealing with the
powers of evil at Albany.
BROUGHT Nation to lgnominy.
"Just before coming in to listen to
Mr.. Hughes just characterization OF
Mr.. Wilson's failure to protect the
lives and property of Americans in
Mexico and on the high seas, l hap
pened to pick up John Fishes Critical
Period of American History" and was
struck by the following two sentences:
ga government touches the lowest
point of ignominy when 1t confesses
its inability to protect the lives and
the property of it's citizens. A gov
eminent which has come to this has
failed in discharging the primary func-
ton of government and forthwith
ceases to have any reason for exist
Ing
"Mr. Hughes has pointed out in his
speech with self-restraint, but with
emphasis, that 1t is precisely this
primary function which Mr.. Wilson's
Administration has failed to discharge
and that it is precisely this point OF
ignominy to which he has reduced
the nation over which he Is Presi-
dent"

WOULD RELEASE
ALL AMERICANS
FRANCE ANNOUNCES AMERICANS S
IN FRENCH ARMY BE PERMIT
TO RETURN HOME
This in Event of War Between United
States and MexicO-Claim 800
Americans Affected
By HENRY WOOD

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
PARIS, July 20.-In the event of
war between the United States and
Mexico or any other country, France
will at once release from enlistment
all Americans now serving with the
French army, who may wish to return
home and fight for their own country.
The official decision of France tc
this effect was today communicated to
the United Press by high officials OF
the Ministry Of Foreign Affairs.
Despite the statement recently pub
lished in German papers in America
that 10000 Americans are serving
with the Allied Armies, France is UNI
able to account for more than about
900 of them.
The release of the 70 American avi-
ators now serving with the French
army would give the United States
