forcing British to consider landing troops

tablsh a stable government doomed as
strong probability today, when a long re-
port from American Minister Gonzales was
turned over to Major General Hugh L.
Scott, Chief of stan of the army. The re-
port was a detailed one, giving full ac-
count of revolutionary activities in Cuba
and indicating that the revolution under the
leadership OF former President Gomez Is
gaining the upper hand.
AMERICANS REPORTED SLAIN
Border activities, with unofficial reports
of killing OF three Americans, served to
aggravate the Mexican problem. The War
| Department is keeping an extra careful
watch on the boundary, for fear that trou-
BILE involving the United States will again
break out.
In connection with the Mexican problem,
It was recalled today that n German en-
hassy agent was In close and almost con-
slant touch with the Mexcan-American
Peace Commission when IL sat at Atlantic
City.
And II is known, t9o. that some of Gen
| eral Carranza's followers have felt that
| German and Japanese support were with
| the Constitutionalist Government
While Cabinet members have expressed
| doubt that Great Britain will land troops
| to protect British oil interests at Tampico,
| It is more than certainty that Britain
will not look idly on II Carranza carries out
| any plan Of stopping its rich oil supplies
| from going forward from Tamplco
/ In these circumstances. 1t will be up
! to the United States to take a hand or else
England will undoubtedly take the task on
| itself The possibility Of such foreign In
|. reference in the New World constituted a
| source of perplexity here.
There can be no MISLEADING that Govern
| ment officials here feel Germany is behind
| General Carranzas recent anti-Ally activ-
| ity and while they do not take his embargo
| suggestions seriously, they do fear for whal
| he might stir up In favor of Germany and
! against both the United States and the En-
tente Allies.

ACID POISONING!

The most eminent physicians recognize
that uric acid stored up in the system is
the cause of govt and rheumatism, that
this uric acid poison is present in the

Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo,

ington.-Russia's de facto gov
eminent set up by the Maximalists
was the biggest question mark in the
in the descendency, even Russian en-
bassy officials admitted, while declar-
ing they would never accept the Max
imalists authority.
Russia will now be allowed to work
out its own destiny by the United
States and the allies. None will rec
ognize any new democratic govern
ment there until the atmosphere
clears. Allied diplomats stated they
would not deal with a Russian gov
eminent which elings to a policy of
immediate peace"
The hour of Russia's greatest trial
has come, according to officials. With
the German fleet hammering away at
Helsingfors, German agents running
wild in the country preaching sedi-
ton and discord, only a miracle can
save Russia for the allied cause
against Germany.
The pacifsts have won both Moscow
and Petrograd, Ambassador Francis
reported to the state department
More troops and probably the Baltic
fleet have gone over to the new Boil
sheYiki cabinet set UP by the Maxi
malists with Lenine and Trozsky at
its head. The expected opposition
from Kerensky, alone of the old cabi-
net to be at liberty apparently, has
so far failed TO materialize in the
Russian news. The Bolsheviki ruled
with an iron hand in both the leading
cities and without further bloodshed,
meantime sending emissaries to all
points to enlist support.
Facing this situation, the State De-
partment was at loss to move diplo-
matically.
There is no one yet with whom we
can treat" said one official There is
no disposition TO withhold support
from Russia just because there has
been a revolution. It has been plain
from the beginning of the revolution
airy movement that such things must
be expected.
THE United States government
feels that it must continue to have
faith in Russia even to an extent
which might appear foolhardy from a
financial point of view. AS soon as
there is government firmly estab-
lished undoubtedly the United States
will seek to learn just where the new
government stands with regard to all
questions affecting Americas inter
ests.'
So far the Maximalists have been
playing a lone hand, too busy with
internal affairs to seek outside recog.
milton. They have at last permitted
Ambassador Francis and other allied
diplomats 10 cable, but the dispatches
were withheld and only confirmation
of earlier press reports were given
out.
State Department officials said they
were hopeful that next week would
bring detailed information on condi-
tons throughout Russia upon which
this government can base its future
attitude.
The diplomatic sensation locally
was the embassy's def hurled at the
MaXimalists.

people means nothing but habit formed

the playthings OF childhood. Many pray

FASHION FREAKS SEEK
INSANITY SYMPTOMS
Women's Organizations SUPPORT in
Reform Movement

CHICAGO. March 12-Freakishness In
women's dress was attacked as a symptom
of insanity by speakers before the sefni-
annual convention and style show of the
Fashion Art League of America, which
opened for a three-day session here today.
Sanity of dress long has been agitated
by the women's clubs OF the country, and
the present movement by the Fashion Art
League has the backing of the General
Federation of womens Clubs of America
and of the Art Institute of Chicago The
league will seek to lay the foundations of
true American fashions and of the varied
interests which are involved.
Speakers attacked inharmonious blending
OF colors and disregard of the personality
OF the wearer in striving TO obtain ex-
tremity of effect.
