IMPORTANT NOTICE"

Careful investigation mad by the Laundrymenis National AS
ISOLATION of America, both among the selling agents OF dyestuns
and the manufacturers of wash goods. shows that there Is a short
age of permanent dyestuns al most amounting to a famine, and
that industries depending upon fast colors arr in many cases closed
down.
THAT the better quality Of shirtings now being worn. are per-
haps in most cases. fast colors. but that this condition cannot pos
sihy continue for any great length of time.
THAT the wash goods In which the colors are most questionable
at the present time are: Red Tablecloths and Napkins and Towels
with Red Borders; Blacks In Cotton Ginghams. which ae apt to
wash lighter and In some cases crock when the damp goods are
folded. Black Stockings will probably bleed and turn lighter.
Light Goods with Blue, Red or Black Trimmings are apt to cause
trouble.
Some makers of wash goods are already notifying their pa
irons that they cannot guarantee the permanency OF colors.
Under these circumstances. and for the further reasons that
there is no known method whereby fugitive colors can be washed so
that they will not run and no way of knowing whether colors will
run o r not, except by washing. W g beg to notify our patrons that
while we ue every care In the handling of colored goods. we can
not be responsible when these goods fade. q 8 some of them surely
will.
I'm view of the situation W strongly urge our customers to
use as much white goods as possible until such time a the perma-
nent dyes will again be available"

COLONEL ROOsEVELT's PLAN

Colonel Roosevelt speaks, in this
matter of performing our duty to-
ward the troubled Latin-American
states, as one having authority. He
finds a precedent for doing the right
thing in Mexico, because he made
one and knows how to adapt it to
present needs in Mexico.
Finding Cuba in a condition of an
archy that, though serious, was not
so grave as that now existing in
Mexico, he sent an expedition there
to restore order. There were pro-
testations from the faint-hearted,
lest temporary occupation should de-
velop into permanent control, owner
ship, sovereignty, and responsibility.
Mr.. Roosevelt assured the world that
there was no such purpose in the
American mind. He went into Cuba,
did the work that was demanded
of him, and withdrew. Today Cuba
more nearly approaches the stature
of real, independent nation than it
did before that Intervention. 1t
knows, and the world knows, that
there is no American purpose to
seize and annex it. 1t knows on
the other hand that the old game of
continuous revolution as a means to
serving the ambition or the avarice
of factionists is played out.
A like treatment for Mexico
would bring like result; restora-
ton of safe governmental methods
realization that the Washington
Government means business, rec
ognition that the time demands per-
manent reforms.
This is the proposal that comes
from Colonel Roosevelt. 1t is sound
is supported by the precedent and
experience of Cuba. The man who
performed the task in Cuba is avail
able to handle the Mexican situation
If Mexico had been given the same
attention as Cuba, in the beginnings
of trouble; if a firm hand had been
laid on it in the right time, the dis
grace, the ruin, and the wretched-
ness of present conditions would
| have been avoided.

VICTORIANO HUERTA

Victoriano Huerta was a man
whose sheer vitality and ability
raised him from the status of
peon boy-a full-blooded Indian-to
dictator of Mexico. What the mans
equipment must have been may be
the better judged if it be recalled
that at no stage of his career did
he enjoy the confidence of the men
who gave him his opportunities.
Diaz-also an Indian-sent him to
the national military school and
used him as an arm Of the Diaz pol
icy of relentless suppression; but
Diaz never trusted him; Madero, in
his last extremity, placed Huerta
in command of the troops defending
Mexico City-and was betrayed at
the cost first of the presidency and
afterward of his life. Playing Mex
lean politics as skillfully as he had
handled his armies in the field, he
seized the dictatorship and held it
almost a year and half, with the
Washington Government refusing to
recognize him and most of the ac-
tual territory of Mexico in insur-
rection. He was distrusted by Pres
ident Wilson and Washington as he
had been by his superiors in Mexico;
yet he played the diplomatic game as
cleverly as he had played at war
and politics, and managed in the end
to escape from Mexico with his life
and a fortune. He was a CRATER,
as proved by his hold-up of contrac-
when he served as a civil en-
er, and by his extraction of a
It fortune from the opportunities
dictatorship afforded. He be-
ed his country and the President
had been forced to trust him.
