CAUSED INDIGNATION

SACOED l1<D1UlN A HUN Herr Haase says it caused great in- dignation in America. Of course in the first instance. the affair was employed as an indictment against us but mean- While the storm abated slowly and the calm and sensible politicians and also the great mass of the American people saw there was nothing to object to tn these instructions themselves. Even at times newspapers felt obliged to ad-
 init regretfully that not so very much had been made of this affair
 I was reproa ched for thinking just of Mexico and Japan. First of all, Mexico was neighboring state to America If We wanted allies against America Mex ico would be the first to come into con- sideration. The relations between Mexico and ourselves since the time of Porfirio
 I'iaz have been extremely friendly and trustiui. The Mexicans, moreovery are known as good and efficient soldiers. Tt can hardly be said that the rela- tions between the United States and Mex ] leo have been friendly and trustful. but the world knows that antagonism exists 1 between America and Japan. I maintain that these antagonisms are stronger than those which. despite the war, exist be- tween Germany and Japan
 NOTHING EXTRAORDINARY When I also wished to persuade Car ranZa that Japan should join the alliance 1 tEere was nothing extraordinary in this | The relations between Japan and Mexico 1 are long consistent. The Mexicans and Japanese are of like race and good re- lations exist between both countries When further the entente press af- i firms that 1t is shameless to take away allies, such reproach must have a pe-
 culiar effect coming from powers who, | like our enemies made no scruple in
 taking away from us the powers and peo- ples with whom we were bound by treaties of more than 30 years. The DOW CTS who desire to make plant an old 1 European country of culture like Greece | by unparalleled and violent means can ! not raise such reproach against us 1 When I thought of this alliance with 1 Mexico and Japan I allowed myself to be
 guided by the consideration that our
 brave troops already have to fight
 against a superior force of enemies ana my duty is. as far as possible. to keep 1 further enemies away from them That
 Mexico and Japan suited that purpose
 even Herr Haase will not deny
 | Thus I considered 1t a patriotic duty
 to release those instructions and I hold | to the standpoint that I acted rightly" | The emergency budget voted yesterday,

ernment and to provide for the rals- ing of an army of perhaps 1000 000 men Other measures such as a cen- sorship bill, spy bill, the regular army appropriation bill and emer- gency legislation for the army and navy also will be submitted
 The government, so far as is known, has no plans for political alliance with the entente allies. although a de- gree of military cooperation, of course. will be essential Always in the Presidents mind, it is believed. Will be the ultimate permanent peace for which he already has outlined his programmes league of nations backed by moral and military force
 As summarized today. everythine that the government believes can be done without congressional action to arm against Germany either has been done or has been planned Lessons taught by the experiences of Eurore are being utilized as far as possible
 TIME NOT FIXED
 What day the President will appear before Congress to deliver his momen tous message will not be fixed until it is seen how long it will take the House to organize. The administra tion hopes this will not take more than one or two days It is realized that there will be some opposition in Congress, but summaries of public opinion col iected by officials have convinced the administration that the nation will stand almost solidly behind any &C., ton the President may recommend and no doubt is felt about the result at the capitol.

ATTENTION LADIES!
An Appeal for Sewers for the Red
Cross.

The Red Cross Work Room has
been open for week. There are
piles of cut out garments all ready
to be made but the women are not
coming in very fast to get them. We
hope to pack box of furnished gar
ments to send off the first of No.
vember, but unless we bestir our
selves there will not be enough gar
ments made. Dear women, this is
our work, your work. Winter is
coming on rapidly, our brave boys
who have gone, or will soon go, to
the Front in France need these things
and they are depending on us. Shall
we not, if necessary, let some of our
own sewing wait and do this Red
Cross sewing? Should we not be
willing to make this small sacrifice,
when the soldiers have given up
home, native land, business, and
everything? The Work Room is open
every day between 10 and II o'clock
in the morning, and 3 and S o'clock
in the afternoon. Let every woman
who can sew go or send to the Red
Cross, at once, for a piece of work.

VALUE OF PREVENTIVE FOR

SURGEONS IN FRENCH ARMY

After the battle Of Ourcq. a certain
number OF wounded French and Ger

with the German wounded, and, al
though sufficient serum was placed at
his disposal, he refused to use it for
his men, saying that he considered such
injections had no preventive value.
The French wounded received the
normal doses of the serum OF twelve
German wounded, six contracted tetan.

wounded showed any symptom of it..
This example of the serum's preventive
efficacy has all the more weight be.

under the same conditions and on the
same tetanus-infected ground.
