maine Committee.
TO RAISEFU n D s
MEMBERS H CO..

President Ralph j. Patterson Of the
Chamber Of Commerce has appointed
as the members of. the committee to
have charge Of the raising Of fund Of
money to be sent to Laredo, Texas. for
the use Of the boys Of Co. H, +. l..
Thornberry as chairman. Rev. F. H.
Stedman, Secretary Leon o. Tebbetts
of the Chamber, DR.. ]. F. Hill and Ar
thur l.. Holmes. These men will de-
eide the method of going about the
work and will have it in charge. &C.
cording to all the letters which have
been written home here the bows there
need it greatly. Evidently, however, ir,
some quarters there is a little mis-
understanding about the letters which
Lieutenant Rogers wrote home. 1t
should be clearly borne in mind that
the lieutenant is not asking anythirg
for hin1sef. He provides his own living
out of the pay which the government
gives him, amounting to something
over S. a day, so he has no need to ask
for money to obtain ice or any Of the
things Of that nature as he is in po-
sition to buy for himself as are the
other commissioned officers. It is for
the private soldier that he speaks, the
fellow who gets SIS a month and who
is supposed to be provided with every
| thing by the government. This man
needs more than that suddenly trans
ported from the beautiful climate of
| Maine to the hot climate Of Texas, in
the hottest time Of the year, and it
comes particularly bad on the boys IN
that up to the time that they went
away there had been no warm weather
here to gradually bring them up to it.
Waterville wants its boys taken care Of
as well as the rest of them and should
surely raise enough money to do so, in
the opinion of the most Of those who
are heard discussing it about the city.

IT PAYS TO
Read the Ads

~ IME was, and within the memo
ries of many of US, when but
few people read advertisements
and those with misgivings.
Advertising had not yet found it's
proper place in the economy of life.
Much of it was neither informing
nor dependable nor of interest.
AS with other phases of life, time
brought changes. Little by little
the tone of advertising imp roved,
and it came to be of use and service
to the people, It developed, gradual
ly, into medium of information for
the people about commodities and
products and and facts and figures.

KennebeC Journal Ads
Give Practical Helps

A S advertising took on this char
N acter, and was more and more
aimed to interest and inform,
it gained readers. House wives
learned that through reading the
advertisement of the stores they
could really learn things about COM
modities and their prices, without
spending needless hours of "shop-
ping" Thus the circle of people in
fluenced by advertisements expand
ed with consistent and solid results.
All life and living tends more and
more to organization, to SYSTEM to
efficiency of method. Buying for the
home, almost the last of the great
businesses Of the world to come un-
der the sway of business methods"
at last felt the impulse toward eff
cheney. The housewife learned that
she, too, was Gin business" and that
she owed it to herself and to those for
whom she acted as buyer to see to it
that her task was performed with eff.
fciency and economy and wise judg-
ment. Thus the circle of people in
fiuenced by advertising widened and
expended in greater degree.
And the expansion of the circle
goes on. If merchant holds the at
tention and interest of the people in
this city who read and are influenced
in their buying by the ADVERTISE
ments he need not worry about other
people or 9th er problems.

final WORD HAS
Been SPOKEN BY
THE AMERICANS
Terms on Which Pershing's
Force Will Be Withdrawn
Are Announced to Mexi-
can Commissioners.

Atlantic City, N. J., Nov. 2z-wheth-
er the long conference OF the Mexican
American joint commission will end
with an amicable adjustment of the
problems faced by Mexico and the
United States, or by a disagreement
which may result in still more serious
differences, now depends upon General
Carranza's representatives.
The American commissioners have
placed before the Mexicans a plan in
volving the withdrawal of the Ameri-
can troops now operating In Chihuahua
under General Pershing, and the flu
ture protection of life and property
along the international frontier. The
Mexicans have not replied. Instead,
they have offered few counter sug-
gestions to gain further time.
PROPOSAL is SUBMITTED.
Secretary of the Interior Lane and
his colleagues faced the Mexican rep
resentatives late yesterday and In
terms that were not ambiguous and
that appeared to admit of little debate,
submitted the American proposition.
They insisted that the rights of all
foreigners in Mexico, American or
otherwise. must be respected.
Under the terms of the program, the
American troops will be withdrawn
within 60 or 90 days, II in that time
General Carranza has demonstrated
his ability to prevent raids in their vi
cinity. This conditional withdrawal is
to be followed by the policing of the
border by the two armies, but there
will be no joint action. The American
army will do its work on its own side,
and the Mexican army will be expect
ed to see that disturbances south of
the international boundary are not
carried into the United States
In case raiders cross the border into
the United States, the American gov
ernment is prepared to pursue them
into Mexico. No restrictions will be
accepted as to the size of the force,
and no limit to the field of operations
will be recognized.
1t was pointed out to the Mexicans
that by this declaration the Americans
did not wish to convey any threat of
Intervention, but that it was merely
an expression of determination not to
adopt a passive attitude in face of in
efficiency south of the border.
When the program was laid before
the Mexican commissioners they ap-
peared not to believe that the Ameri-
cans really meant that the final stage
of the long conference had arrived and
that the American proposal was of SO
drastic a character. They offered no
debate, but asked time for consider
alton.

RUMANIAN ARMIES
FATE STILL HANGS
IN THE BALANCE
WILL ASK CONGRESS
TO PLACE EMBARGO
ON ALL FOODSTUFFS

Washington, Nov. 22.-Repre-
sentative Fitzgerald, Democrat,
chairman of tho house appropri-
alton committee, announced to-
day that he favored an embargo
on foodstuffs and that Il is his
purpose to prepare a bill and
press tho subject early in the
coming session of congress.
1.-TWO reasons chiefly impeII
me to favor embargo legislation
on foodstuffs," said Fitzgerald.
at is the most effective weapon
in our controversy with Great
Britain over her unwarranted,
outra eeous and indefensibIe
blacklist of American mereh-
ants. AS our foodstuffs arc
needed abroad, the embargo will
be moro effective than weary
months of diplomatic nesotia-
tons which would end in con-
tinuance of the indefensibIe
practices against our rights.
'"The embargo should also be
imposed for purely domestic
reasons. Tho prices of food
stuffs have reached levels that
are bringing widespread distress
to the country. Many hundreds
of thousands of our people are
suffering from lack Of the nee
essities Of life"
President Wilson and the cab
met arc understood to oppose
it.
