The Proclamation


I'm views Of the frequency with which
outrageous crimes are being committed
by bands Of outlaws scattered in various
parts of the republic, even after the an
Inhalation of the armies of the reaction
aries by the Constitutionalist forces, I
believe that the situation thus created
calls for the extremity of energetic
measures Of suppression in order that
such crimes shall be met by severest
punishment to those who are responsible
for them
"In view of the recent attack, on a
railway train at point distant eight kill
ometers from Santa Ysabel in the state
of Chihuahua by bandits led by Rafael
Castro and Pablo Lopez. members Of the
forces commanded by Francisco Villa,
under whose orders they were operating,
and in accordance with the precedent es-
tablished by the Constitutionalist gov
eminent in similar cases occurring in. tho
past, I have seen fit to issue the follow
ing decree:
"Article l.. The reactionary leader and
ex- general Francisco Villa is hereby de-
clared to be outside the pale of the law.
ARTICLE II. The reactionary leaders
ex-General Rafael Castro and ex-Colonel
Pablo Lopez are hereby declared to be
outside the pale of the law.
ARTICLE III. Any citizen of Mexico is
empowered hereby to arrest the leaders.
Francisco Villa, Rafael Castro and Pablo
Lopez, and to execute them without any
formality of the law. But the citizen
performing such function shall make
record in writing describing in detail the
occurrence and setting forth the proofs
of the identity and proof Of the execu-
tion.''
Opposing Forces
Republican senators made clear at to-
days meeting of the foreign relations
committee their purpose to keep up the
fight for action in Mexico. The Demo-
Gratis were equally determined that no
legislative action should be taken at this
stand and the problems involved should
be left to the President.
For more than two hours the commit
tee discussed behind closed doors inter-
vention resolutions and proposals to send
troops to Mexico to cooperate with Gen.
Carranza in maintaining order and run

Service with Vote

Emphasizing his conviction that
troops cannot be improved to meet
regulars, Gen. Wood declared that the
fundamental basis of any policy of
adequate national defense must be the
principle that with suffrage goes an
obligation for military service. Such a
policy had been advocated by George
Washington, he said, and if it had
been adopted. Canada would have be-
come part Of the United States in the
war of 1912.

That was Immediately after the Civil

ure adopted by Great Britain declar-
ing German bunker coal contraband
and establishing conditions under
which English bunker coal alone Is
supplied to neutrals is nothing but
an unheard OF attempt by way OF ex-
action to force neutral tonnage into
the service Of British trade.
The German people know that the
government Of the United States has
the power to confne the war to armed
forces OF the belligcrcnt countries In
the interest OF humanity and maiutcn-
ance OF international law. The gov
eminent OF the United States would
have been certain OF attaining this
end had It been determined TO insist
against Great Britain on the lncon-
troNertible rights to freedom OF the

DRINK MORE WATER
IF KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat Less Meat and Take Salts for
Eackache or Bladder
Trouble.

Uric acid In meat excites the kid
neys, they become oyerworked; get
sluggish, ache, and feel like Jumps OF
lead The urine becomes cloudy; the
bladder is irritated, and you may be
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night. When the
kidneys clog you must help them flush
off the body's urinous waste or you'll
be real sick person shortly. At first
you feel dull misery in the kidney
region, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizziness, stomach gets
sour, tongue coated and you feel rheu-
matte twinges when the weather is
bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots Of water:
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces of Jad Salts; take tablespoon
full in glass Of water before break
fast for few days and your kidneys
will then act fine. This famous sales
is made from the acid Of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to clean
clogged kidneys and stimulate them to
normal activity, also to neutralize the
acids in urine, SO 1t no longer Is
source of irritation, thus ending blad-
der weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot IN
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active. Druggists
here say they sell lots of Jad Salts
to folks who believe in overcoming
kidney trouble while 1t is only trouble.
