Our old friend Rhermatiz is having
his inning this year, and a few words
of caution from one who knows all
about it may not be amiss
Wear Tubbers in damp weather;
keep your feet dry; drink plenty of
lemonade, and avoid strong alcoholic
drinks.
If rheumatism gets you, or sciatica,
and you have sharp twinges, gnawing
pain or swollen joints or muscles, you
can get rid of all agony in just few
days by taking one-half teaspoonful
of Rheuma once a day.
All druggists know about Rheuma !;

ALLIES SWEEP ONWARD
OVER BROAD FRONT

The British and French troops are
sweeping forward In the Somme and
Disc sectors in France, and the Ger.
man retreat, which at first was slow
and on narrow fronts, seems to be
gaining momentum.
The latest advance by the British
was made over front of sixteen
miles. and by the French along II
front of about fifteon miles and the
entente allies have penetrated German
positions in this new operation to II
depth of from two to four miles.
Bapaume, for many months describ-
ed as a German stronghold, now is in
the hands of the British troops, hav-
ing been wrested from the Germans
after what the British war office de-
sCribcs as stiff fighting. 1t is mass
of ruins From 'Ba paume, the forti-
fled lines newly acquired by the Brit
ish extend to the western outskirts Of
Monchy Au Bois. From south of
Peronne the British have drawn
new line as far as Fresnes. In all.
they have taken possession of four
teen villages in their new advance.
The French have taken up new
line between Andechy and the Disc
and have occupied the important
town of Roye. where they were en-

In the early operations one by one
small villages were evacuated by the
Germans, whose withdrawal was slow
ly and watchfully followed by the
British, consolidation of the news posi-
tions and preparation for further
forward movement being most care
fully made. In the last few days both
the retreat and advance, respectively
have been considerably accelerated,

NEUTRALITY Of

Of FIRST Chief
Statement Is Issued by South

American Note Declining
Embargo Plan,
10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wlssr

Mexico City, Mex, March 17.-In
answer to reply of the United States
to the Mexican note which proposed
that the neutral nations unite to
bring about peace in Europe, or, as
an alternative, place an embargo on
shipments to belligerent countries, the
Mexican government issued an abso-
lutte declaration of neutrality tonight,
asserting in definite terms that Mex
leo intends to devote its efforts to
keeping any country on this conti
nent from taking part in the Euro
pean war
The Mexican statement also sets
forth that it will continue its efforts
With neutral countries with the object
of securing European peace. The Mex
ican communication follows.
VIII Strive for Peace.
"ln view OF the answer of the Unit
ed States to the note which the first
chief directed to the governments of
the neutral countries, in favor of
peace, the government of Mexico plo-
poses to cooperate with its efforts to
avoid that any of the countries of this
continent take part in the European
conflict, and will continue its efforts
with neutral countries with the OBJ
ject of securing European peace"
The American ambassador. Henry
P. Fletcher, called at the foreign Of
flee tonight to discuss the Mexican
answer which was shown to him then
Candido Aguilar, the foreign minis
ter, had conference with Ambassa-
dor Fletcher at the embassy late last
night He refused to make any state
ment and the American ambassador
was equally reticent.
Publishes american Note.
The American note was made pub
lie here at the same time as the Mex
lean statement. 1t said IN effect that
the United States was unable to join,
as Mexico had proposed, in com
muniCation of the neutral powers to
the belligerents, TO bring the war to
an end either through their own ef-
forts or through the mediation of neu-
trails, because the president already
had made such "A proposal and one of
the belli2erents mad simpy increased
its efforts
The note also instanced the plot
discovered by the United States,
which one of the belligerents
planned to involve Mexico and Japan
against the United States. Nor, said
the note, is the United States able to
join in an embargo on supplies from
neutrals to belligerents, as that would
conflict with the stand taken in re-
spect to Austria on August II. 1915.
Mexicans Are Pleased.
The note added, however, that the
United States would put no obstacle
in the way of neutrals in their efforts
to obtain peace. as proposed in the
Mexican plan.
The tone of the American note is
regarded as most pleasing by Mexican
1t is believed here that the |
nature of the Mexican statement indi !
Gates that determined effort will be
made to bring about a consolidation
with South and Central American
which would nullify the !
efforts of any belligerent to drag sucl
