[eepublican A. p. Leased WlreI


PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 8. DR..
Charles A. Hexamer. president of the
National German American Alliance,
tonight made public letter he has sent
to the members of that organization
urging them to remain loyal to Amer
lea in the present national crisis and
advising them of the action taken by
the alliance at a meeting Wednesday
night Resolutions were adopted at
this meeting endorsing the action of
President Wilson in severing diplomatic
relations with Germany and in case of
war it was decided to turn over to the
American Red Cross funds collected
for German war relief.
In his letter Dr. Hexamer said: 4
beg to leave to inform you that on
Wednesday night the directors of the
national committee of the National
German American Alliance for allevi-
ating suffering met with me and it
was resolved that if war should be
declared all collections for the German
Red Cross and for widows and orphans

continued.
The National German American
Alliance must. in this crisis, stand on
the same high plane Of absolutely
American patriotism which it has al
ways upheld and unless it does so it
has no right to exist in our country"

ministratiun leaders vigorously oppos-
ing It,
While the probabilities of war were
recognized by all present. the majority

MURGUIA READY

rReoub,icsn a. .. Leased wire1

CHIHUAHUA CITY, Feb. Cen
eral Francisco Murguia has established
his headquarters at the railway station
of Diaz, a point between Santa Rosalia
and JimineZ, in the campaign he is
personally directing against Villa. Be-
yond this announcement made officially
today. which indicates the general loca-
tion of Villa and his main command,
nothing is known here of the progress
of the campaign.
General Murguia has issued a new
manifesto to the people of the state,
calling on all rebels to lay down arms
on the ground that the withdrawal of
the American punitive expedition has
removed his last pretext for armed
opposition to the de facto government.
The report that General Jacinto
Hernandez was killed while fighting
rebels near Parral City is still uncon-
firmed General Francisco Gonzales,
the late commander of JuareZ, remains
in charge of the Chihuahua City gar
rison, which answers the border rumor
that it was he who had been killed.

declared to have said that Germany

ambassador had been unable to an

Mr. j. B. Lebold has purchased the
Sunnybrook Dairy, milk depot at
1860 State street, Salem, from Looney
Reeves and Miller.
This depot is not the one connected
with the Sunnybrook farm, but will
continue as in the past to buy their
milk supply from the dairies of Marion
and Polk Counties.
Chief among these dairies is Frank
w. Durbin s and C. 2. Gilbert Of Shaw.
Every modern convenience and pre-
caution is utilized to furnish product
that will stand the closest inspection
and give the greatest degree of salts
faction. Not only in the farm dairies
from which the supply of milk comes,
but especially at the central depot do
the most modern scientific methods
and machinery obtain.
Mr.. Lebold is, especially enthusiastic
about his Pasteurizing machine
The purpose of this machine is to
destroy any foreign matter that may
exist in hte milk, making the product
fit for the tiny infant or the person
in any state of health.
"While we know all of the several
farm dairies whose milk we are using
are inspected, we do everything in
our power to prove that the product
leaving our hands is 100 per cent
pure" said Mr.. Lebold.
The milk is delivered to any part
of Salem by auto and is guaranteed to
keep sweet longer than the unpastuer-
lied product.
An inspection of the depot is invited
at any time. Any desired information
may be obtained by calling at 1860
State street, or phoneing 222.
