NEUTRALITY FOR MEXICO
CARRANZA DECLARES AMERI-
CANS OPPOSED TO WAR
Saws United States Ready to Secrifice
Everything But Their Own
Countrynen.

Ell Paso. Texas, Nov. 1S.-'North
America does not need our passive
alliance. North America needs only
our quota of soldiers, as its men are
not going to war singing the 'Marseil'
laise' but sorrowfully singing Home
Sweet Home"
The foregoing is the opening SEN
tence of a manifesto signed by Gen
Francisco Murguia, commander OF
the Carranza army in Northern Mex
leo, hundreds of copies of which have
been distributed in Juarez.
'It would be the limit of childish
ness the manifesto says, Ito believe
that our joining the Entente would
result in our Indebtedness to those
nations being forgiven.
Stands for Neutrality.
Il stand for neutrality. | do not
believe that we Mexicans are under
obligation to support the cause OF
either of the fighting parties.
LET US abandon the idea of giving
the Entente our moral support.
America does not need our moral
support, nor our passive influence.
America does not need, as a matter of
help, our oil, our ores, nor our hene-
quin. These they can obtain by trade
and should we dare refuse them they
would take them by the right granted
to country in war. What North
America needs is our men.
Sparing Their Own.
The United States have only been
able to send 10 per cent. of the
forces they promised to send to
Europe. To this end they have en-
listed the negroes. the aliens, and
most sorrowful-the Mexicans. They
know they will have to sacrifice a lot
of lives and it is clear that they wish
to sacrifice everybody but their own
countrymen.
1.-The national feeling of Americans
is opposed to the war. The anti-war
propaganda in America has reached
the hearts of the people. If we shake
off our apathy, forget our hatreds,
consolidate our forces. exert all our
effort, Mexico's neutrality will be re-
spected.
I've do not expect anything from
. Germany, nor we ask any favors of
that nation, but far less could be eX-
pected from the United States. Let
this be our attitude toward the rest
of the world. We need one hundred
thousand soldiers for our own USE

Old Theory Made New.

Taking up an old theory of mete-
ors, Emile Belct, French astronomer,
has attempted to demonstrate that
these bodies may have resulted from
volcanic eruptions on the moon and
other satellites of the solar systems s
planets. He finds that an initial ve-
locity of projection comparable to
that which has been observed in the
eruption of Cotopaxi and only twice
as great as that developed in artill-
cry of the present war would be suffi-
cient to carry body free from the
moon, and he has made calculations
of the speed of projection and other
conditions that would cause such a
body to become a satellite of the
moon, of the earth, or OF the sun.

MET UTTER DEFEAT.
Correspondent Surprised at Great
Number of AriStocratS.

Petrograd, Wednesday, Nov. H.
The battle in which Premier kerens-
Ky was defeated began last Saturday
and continued until Monday night
according to the commander-in-chief
of the Bolsheviki staff. The premier
had 5000 Cossacks and several hun
dred military cadets with consider
able artillery. The MaXimalists' force
included four guard regiments, sew
eral battalions of sailors and nu-
merous detachments of the red
guard.
Many of the Bolsheviki soldiers
were wounded and a few were killed.
The Cossacks in Kerensky's forces
once attempted to charge near Tsar-
koe-Selo, but suffered heavy losses,
after which they retired into the
town. The Maximalists now hold
Tsarkoe-Selo.
Aristocratic Officers.
The correspondent of the Associat-
ed Press visited the scene of the
fighting today and was surprised to
find aristocratic officers commanding
the Bolseviki.
A colonel of one of the famous
Petrograd guard regiments is now
commander of the Bolsheviki staff.
Describing the fight, he said:
The battle began Saturday and
continued until Monday night. Our
forces were under continuous shell
fire and many were wounded. Only
a few were killed. At one time a
SQUADRON of Kerensky's Cossacks at
tempted a charge near Tsarkoe-Selo.
A volley caused them heavy losses.
This was the last active attempt of
the Kerensky forces to attack and
afterward they retreated. We now
hold Tsarkoe-Selo.'

by the Cossacks and had escaped to
his own lines told the correspondent
that Kerensky's Cossacks had deter
mined to surrender unless he was able
to reinforce them with $4,000 troops.
The premier, the soldier said, promis-
ed to get them.
The correspondent made a tour of
the battlefield in a Petrograd droshky
whose driver calmly directed his fat
horse over the military road. The
droshky passed numerous sentries un-
questioned, the soldiers apparently
considering the ludicrous conveyance
of the correspondent above suspicion.
A constant stream of ambulances dis
charged their cargo of wounded at
hospitals along the road just outside
the city.

PATRIOTIC COLORED MAN.
Eyerts Himself to Bring His Son tC
Greenwood to Go to Army.

George Moore, of Cokesbury, was
here Thursday, having come down
with his son. Douglas Moore, who re-
ported to be sent to the colors. While
here George Moore handed the Index
the following:
To the Index:-Please allow me
space to say a few words in your
paper. My boy, Douglas Moore, was
drafted for service in the army. He
was out of the State, in the North,
when the call was made. After much
trouble l succeeded in getting him
home and now he is ready and Will
ling to die in defense of his country.
A white man of Hodges, who knew
about what l had done, called me a
fool and abused me for sending for
my son, but l told him that negroes
were as loyal and patriotic as white
people. Very respectfully,
GEORGE MOORE.

TIME OF YEAR WHEN
We ALL NEED TONIC
Fifty Cents Worth of Acid Iron Min.
eral, Concentrated, Cheapest
and Best
ALL DRUGGISTS HAVE 1T.

Anameic, run down, nervous men
and women, past twenty-five will find
the most economical tonic and medi-
cine for the blood to be just ordinary
medicinal iron, highly concentrated.
1t is not only most economical but
strong, a half teaspoonful in glass
of water being the usual dose.
Any druggist has Acid Iron Mineral
and a fifty-cent or dollar bottle of
Acid Iron Mineral will go from two
to ten times as far as other weaker
iron preparations.
In buying Acid Iron Mineral con-
centrated, the user should remember
that it is just a natural highly con-
centrated product and therefore con-
tains no cathartics or laxatives to up
set and stimulate the bowels as so
many preparations do.
We all need more or less iron this
time of year to enrich the blood.
Another advantage of this natural
product is that it helps digestion and
appetite and the kidneys show its
effects quickly.
If skin is pimply, sallow, and pal
lid, and blood is full of uric acid and
other poisons which cause so much
pain, rheumatism, etc., the reader
should mix q teaspoonful of Acid Iron
Mineral in glass of water after
each meal for short while.
Acid Iron Mineral is sold here by
Mack's Drug Store, J. B. Black, Drug
gist; Fordham's Pharmacy; Doyle's;
Lowman Drug Co.; DR.. D. Moorer;
Dr.. H. D. Rowe; DR.. J. G. Wanna

Trials of Commanders in Three OF
Our Big Wars.

1t would be good thing to read
some of Washington's letters on July
Fourth and see the way his grea,
heart was made to bleed by the utter
failure of support either from the
army or from the people for which
ne fought.
To be sure $4,000 men enlisted
for service in the American Revolu.
ton at one time OR another to fight
an English force that was never more
than one-third as large
But they fought for few weeks
and became tired and went home
They were i'll clothed, ill fed, i'll sup
piled with ammunition.
And of that $4,000 Washington
was almost never able to muster more
than 10000 for effective service at
one time; and the capture of Trenton
was made with only 1000.
Time after time he prepared for
operations which might have won
decisive victories and shortened the
war. And he could not carry them
out because the people who ought to
have stood behind him did not pre-
rare for a hard-fought, long-con-
tinued war and could not give him
support.
Few charters in all history are
more depressing than the story of the
war of 1912. Not one single impor-
tant battle was won by the American
for es on land.
At Blandensburg the American mil

fer. And the British marched across
the bridge and burned the capitol.
