SCORES
SOME FOREIGNERS

Washington. June 16.-In Flag day
speech here President Wilson charged
that there are some foreign born per-
sons In the United States who are
trying to levy a kind of political
blackmail on the American political
parties in the interests of foreign
governments.
This, the president declared, must
be stopped. He was sounding what
some of his advisers said would be
one of the issues of the coming presi-
Dental campaign.
Speaking of disloyalty in the Unit
ed States the president said:
1T proceeds from a minority, a very
small minority, but an active and sub
tie minority, working underground,
but also showing its ugly head where
1t may be seen, and ii is this minority
that at this very moment is striving
to levy a kind of political blackmail
or wreak its vengeance at the polls.
This Is the sort of thing against which
the American people will turn. That
Is the lesson which come to remind
you of today"

CARRANzA'S REGIME
THOUGHT NEAR END

Washington, June 16.-With reports
OF unrest among the poems and unex-
planned movements among Mexican
troops continuing to reach Washing
ton, there was no lessening OF the
gravity of the situation.
A feeling exists about the state and
war departments that ten days or
two weeks will see definite develop
ment In the Mexican domestic situa-
tion.
Officials here are certain that the
presence Of American troops on Mexi.
can soil is only one element and per.
haps a lesser one among those con.
tributing to unrest In Mexico.
Many officials believe the collapse
OF the de facto government is more to
be expected than any overt act by
that government against the United
States.
Out of such a collapse, however, IL
Is feared there might come an i'll ad.
vised attempt to eject the American
troops sent to pursue Villa and his
bandits.

Wisconsin State Board of Health Gives
Advice

Madison Wis. June l6.-"The first
and foremost fact which the public
should remember about cancer is that
it is durable The old idea that this
disease meant positive death no longer
holds true
This advice from the state health
department is given in discussing cen
sus reports of $4,000 cancer deaths in
the United Staets last year.
1T should also be known that the
one positive cure for cancer is early
and complete removal. Surgical treat

JAMES PLEASES
THE DELEGATES
Permanent Chairman LaudS
President Wilson.
FRENZY OF ENTHUSIASM

Demonstration Follows Declaration
That Chief Executive Won Acquies
ence In Demand for American Rights
From Worlds Most Militant Power.
st. Louis, June l6-His voice burn
ing with emotion, Senator Ollie James
eloquently told to the Democratic con-
vention the story of three years of
Democratic leadership.
Senator James speech was an ap-
peal not to swap horses while cross
ing a bloody stream, and a plea for
recognition of the president as a
master diplomat" and "unconquer-
able leader" worthy of brilliant rec
ord in the book of history for his
achievements for peace.
"The Democratic party is proud of
the achievements Of Woodrow Will
son." he said
He has brought prosperity and
plenty to 100. 600. 900 Americans. Hehas
given work to every willing hand in
the republic Every toiler has the full
dinner pail-full to overflowing.
He elevates himself" the Kentuck-
ian continued. ito that lofty but lone
ly eminence occupied by George
Washington, Abraham Lincoln and
Woodrow Wilson. the three worst
abused, but best loved Americans, the
republic ever knew.
"He neither bullies the weak nor
fears the strong Mexico, England,
Germany and Austria look alike to
him when America is involved.
HE might overlook the wrong Of
the weak but never the insult of the
strong"
Phrase Pleases Audience.
Another phrase which brought forth
burst was James assertion:
president Wilson acts, he does not
rant He builds, he does not buster
Without orphaning a single child,
without widowing a single wife, with
out the firing of a gun, Woodrow
Wilson won from the most militant
power that ever brooded over a bat
tie field complete acquiescence in his
demands for American rights"
There was an insistent yell and
then cries of repeat IT."
James grinned, having spoken from
memory and being unable to give the
exact words over again. Finally he
paraphrased and dealing the desk in
front of him 10 drive home every
word he shouted out the declaration
anew.
This brought a cheer that almost
raised the roof.
On the back Of the platform Jim
Heflin did war dance of frenzied
applause. while Senator Taggart,
standing besides Senator James. lean
ed forward and shouted Let 'er go,"
In a few minutes a parade OF the
states started with the Texas lone
star flag leading.
Cheers swept the hall and galleries
and the demonstration continued for
several minutes.
