the proposed alliance with Mexico was
known to high Mexican officials dis

including Rafeal Zubaran, Carranza
minister to Germany, and Luis Cab
rera, his minister of finance.
The Instructions.
Zinmerman's instructions to Won
Eckhardt follow:
con the first of February we intend
to. begin our submarine unrestricted
warfare. In spite of this, our inten-
ton is to endeavor to keep the United
States neutral. If this is not success
full, we propose an alliance on the fol-
lowing basis with Mexico:
'"That we shall make war together
and together make peace. We shall
give financial support and it is I'M
derstood Mexico is to reconquer her
lost territory of New Mexico, Texas
and Arizona. Details are left to you
for settlement. You are instructed to
inform the president of Mexico of the
above in the greatest confidence, as
soon as it is certain there will be an
outbreak of war with the United
States, and suggest that the president
of Mexico, on his own initiative,
should communicate with Japan, sug-
costing an adherence at once of this
plan: At the same time, to offer to
mediate between Germany and Japan
"Please call to the attention of the
president of Mexico that the employ
ment of ruthless submarine warfare
now promises to compel England to
make peace in a few months.
(Signed) ZIMMERMAN"
1t is now apparent the proposal had
taken definite form when Zubarar

American republics controlled the war
because they controlled the supplies.
Carranza's peace proposal openly pro-
nounced an evidence of German in
fluences in Mexico by officials here,
who declared it was intended to en-
barrass the United States. Later
some influence showed an effect on
Mexico's course when Cabrera issued
a statement describing his amaze
ment when newspapers interpreted the
proposal to cut off munitions as the
suggestion might cut off British oil.
There was an animation to Germany's
proposal that Japan turn traitor, was
answered in Toxic.
Anti American.
Almost coincident with Zubaran's
return from Germany, Cabrera re-
turned to Mexico City, open in his
expressions of anti-Americanism.
Meanwhile, Baron Won Schoen, secre-
tary of the German embassy here, was
transferred to Mexico City. No ex-
PLANTATION could be obtained as to rea-
son of the transfer and an investiga-
ton failed to develop why the secre-
t&ry from the United States should be
sent to Mexico. Won Schoen's asso-
citation with the moves, if any. does
not appear. The only outward indi-
cation that he might have been con-
nected with them is found in the fact
that he recently was detached from

Bernstorff's connection with the
plot, further than serving as a chan
mel of communication, is intensified
by the fact that the German embassy
here was not merely the medium for
delivering the message in this in

For month naval officers here be-

in the South Atlantic must have found
a base on the Mexican coast and that
such a base couldn't have been main

sent of the Mexican officials. Last
November, the British charge DAT

will no longer cheat Him out of the
honest service which you ought to
give Him? Will you not cease to live
that good-for- nothing, hypocritical
life and give Him first place, if you
are a processing Christian? Deter
mine now, once for all, that you will
not take His name in vain and that
you will no longer dishonor your best
friend by indulging in the things
which are stabbing His heart. Why
not?
Think of His goodness, and if you
have any heart, you will want to do
something for Him. A missionary in
China met an aged man who was
measuring with the length of his body
the pilgrimage of 100 miles. He would
bump his head upon the ground three
times and then PROSTATE himself full
length, get us, repeat and continue to
repeat. When asked why he was do
ing this, he said: "My son was very
i'll. l prayed and vowed to the God
of Health that if he would spare my
son, l would measure with my body
every mile of this pilgrimage to the
tombs of my ancestors. He was SPAR

course, in a manner mistaken in form,
but faithful in spirit. Think of what
he would do for a heather God and
compare it with what you are willing
to do for your kind Father, who has
given you every blessing that you
enjoy without single exception.
The work that you do during the
coming evangelistic campaign at the
tabernacle will, to some extent, he a
test of your appreciation for Gods
blessings. Show Him that you love
Him and appreciate Him by giving
Him the leadership of YOUR lives in
service these coming weeks. Can you
afford to refuse the appeal?
Can you disregard the opportunity 4?

STOP! CALOMEL

IT'S MERCURY! ATTACKS THE
BONES, SALIVATES AND
MAKES YOU SICK

There's no reason why person
should take sickening, salivating cal
omel when so cents buys a large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone-a per-
feet substitute for calomel.
1t is a pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn't make
you sick and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's, Liver Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is dangerous drug. 1t is
mercury and attacks your bones. Take
dose of nasty calomel today and you
will feel weak, sick and nauseated to-
morrow. Don't lose a days work
Take spoonful of Dodson's Liver
Tone instead and you will wake VI

Did you ever thank God for what
He has done for you and for the privi-
leges He has given you? Did you
ever thank Him for the two eyes He
has given you with which you can
look upon the faces of your loved
ones? Did you ever show your ap-
probation to Him for your hearing
with which you can hear the voices
of those about you and with which
you can enjoy the sweet melodies of
music? Did you ever stop to say
THANK you, Lord" for the taste
which makes it possible for you to
eat and enjoy your food? Have you
ever thought that 1t would have been
quite as easy for God to have made
your food taste like quinine or gar
bage instead of making it palatable
How about the air that you breathe ?
Do you thank God for it or do you
curse Him with it? You can do either
Are you grateful that you can sleep
and rest your tired bodies and minds ?
If you are not you ought to be kept
awake for a month. Think of tie
thousands who suffer from pain and
sleeplessness and can rest only under
the influence of opiates.
Think of the thousands Of hungry
starving people in this old world to-
day, and you who have plenty tc
spare. Do you praise the Lord fol-
giving it to you?
Are you glad that you are alive
and have health? If you aren't, you
are an ungrateful wretch. One per-
son out of every ten die of tubercu-
losis and one woman out of every
eight die of cancer. Do you appre-
! ciate the fact that you are not af-
flicted?
How ungrateful we are to our Lore
and Master! We ought to be willing
to express our appreciation for what
He has done for us.
Can't you stop, my friend, and right
row thank the Lord for His goodness

Now the service within the Red Cross IS also two-fold. Some timorous individuals seem to fear that in volunteering to help in the Red Cross work they enlistng for definite terms and may be dispatched to any point selected by their superior officers. But this is far from be- ing the case. The stories will read after the war of beautiful young girls who bravely Jolned the Red Cross and did heroic nursing service m the base hospitals will be purely fiction. The Red Cross will not let any woman serve at the front as nurse even if she demands the privi- lege, unless she is graduate nurse of some recognized institution. The nursing service IS already recruited up to its limit, and it will be a long time before all of its enrolled nurses see hospital service.
 But a limited number of men and women volunteers who desire to experience Red Cross service with the Army will be given the chance. few ambulance drivers and men who can do special executive work will be needed with the units sent abroad And the hospitals also have work for non-professional en-superntend- ing the housework at the hospital and serving as matrons of the nurses dormitories and so on These women are to be called nurses aids. It is estimated that there will be as many of them as there are nurses, so that if 1000 nurses are all sent across the ocean. that many nurses aids will accompany them.
 The service which the Red Cross asks of the millions of American women anxious to help will be purely voluntary, unbossed, home service For the most part it will be needework, the preparation of supplies. These supplies include surgical dressings, which cannot be made for the Red Cross unless the seamstress has had special instruction in the work, and other articles such as bed linen, pajamas, bathrobes. and other comforts which sick men in hospitals need Most of these latter can De made by any intelligent without special attention. All such articles must comply with standard speci- fcations, but these specifications and plain direc- tions are furnished by the Red Cross. The ma terials arc bought by the volunteer.
 To train lay women for the various tasks which must be dore in great numbers if the nursing service is to have the home support which will make it success, the Red Cross in mary cities conducts special courses of instruc- tion. Classes for this instruction be or- ganized by any ten women together, and except in extraordinary instances the expert teachers will be furnished. The Red Cross now has a tremendous call upon it for these teachers, and in some cases it is impossible to supply them.
 There are three of these courses, named re- ely-Elementary Hygiene and Home

law IS also president oi the Red Cross. The comptroller of the currency is its treasurer Its accounts are audite! by the War Department, and it's annual reports addressed to Con gress.
 Yet the Government does not finance the Red Cross. On occasions Congress has voted con- tributions of money to it. Congress helped to build the new building, for instance. But the great volume of its funds spent for relief work is contributed by private individuals. In times past most of its cast. has come 1 te form of gifts, less than 30 per cent of it's receipts being from membership fees. But with the quckened interest in the Red Cross the membership fees are becoming an important of revenue.
 In time of war the Red Cross acts the auxiliary to the medical and nursing services the sanitary services, as they are called, of Army and Navy. It is case of the auxiliary being greater than the thing aided Many doubtless wonder why the Army and Navy does not maintain it's hospital service on an adequate scale. The answer is that it has been found to be more efficient and less costly to give this task over to the semi private Red Cross If there were nU Red Cross doubtless the military services would have had their enlisted reserves of surgeons and nurses and their storehouses of hospital supplies. But it woald have been costly thing to do. and the chances are that US service would have been no better prepared for war than many of the other departments of the Army and Navy
 But the Red Cross is ready Its enlisted nurses number 1000. These are sufficient in number to care for the victims of a fighting army of .4O0,0 GOO men. War experience is that five per cent of fighting army are in the hos pitfalls. That is. of l,40O,000 men at the trenches, 70,00o will he sick or wounded One competent nurse caa care for ten wounded men.
 In this werk the Red Crcss is merely the anxiliary. Both Army and Navy have their medical and nurse corps. But these are main tai.;ed only at such size to meet the require ments of peace. When war comes the Red Cross furnishes the additional surgeons and nurses re- qured for the enlarged Army and Navy. When serving together Red Cross nurse is subordi- nate in rank to the regular service nurse, and the Red Cross surgeon does not rank equally with the Army and Navy surgeon, although all are gqtieet te the sams discipline and rules.

not what it might have been. Some Of the nurses had more pity than trained ability, and a suit men died remained hopeless crippies throughout their lives when proper treatment the sort of treatment an in ured man receives in a modern hospital-might have saved them.
 The battle of Solferino occurred in 1852 It went on for several days. In that time 30,000 wounded men lay on the feld-Frenchnen, Italians and Russians Thousands of these mained for days in extreme agony, uncared for. Thousands of them died for want of It was one of the supreme horrors of all history.
 It happened that Swiss-Henr Dunant- went upon this battlefield and saw these dying, neglected men. He told about it so vividly that the nations of the world decided that it time 10 take this atrocity ont of war. The Treaty of Geneva in 863 for the first time provided for the immunity of medical and nursing services in battle, and the sign of that immunity was to be a red cross. And from that authorization has sprung the great international order of mercy The Red Cross.
 The United States did not adopt the Geneva Treaty until 1882. From then until the year 1900 the Red Cross struggling organiza- tion-largely private charity-without official recognition national standing It first i'm pressed itself upon the notice of the country by its relief work at the Jchastown fcod ;n SSS When the Spanish War broke out it was still outside the Government and nct organized CT prepared along military lines. In 1904 Miss Mabel T. Boardman became the head of it.
