Of FIGS FOR

It is cruel to force nauSeating,
harsh physic into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, %cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form Of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" It's
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that it fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that a ~teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.
Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle
of California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. Adv.

100 U-BOAT CHASERS
TO BE CONSTRUCTED
Government Provides for Immediate
Building of High Speed Patrol
Boats.

Washington, March 14.-Preltmin-
airy steps have been taken by the
Navy department toward contracting
for the quick construction of 100 or
more high speed coast patrol boats
of a new type for scouting against
submarines. At a conference in which
a score of builders were represented,
assurances were given that deliver
les could be begun within four
months.
There was no announcement, but
it is understood contracts will be
awarded shortly.
Plans prepared for the patrol boats
call for a craft of 10 feet long pro-
PEELED by powerful steam engines.
Details of their armament and equip
ment now are being worked out, but
probably will not be made public.
They will be more seaworthy and
have a much larger cruising radius
than the standard Submarine chas-
err 1S5-foot gasoline motor boat.
Some of the companies represented
in yesterdays conference have turned
out large numbers of "chasers'' for
the British government.

CARRANzA IS CHOSEN HEAD
ELECTED PRESIDENT OF MEXICO
BY HEAVY VOTE.
Although There Was No Opposition
for Presidency Congressional Con-
tests Are Bitterly Fought.

Mexico City, March IL. - General
Venustiano Carranza has been elect
ed president of Mexico by what is
believed to have been the largest
vote ever cast in the republic.
Although the voters had the priv
lege of writing in or declaring any
they desired, General Carranza
received all but a few scattering bal
lots. The estimated vote cast runs
all the way from several hundred thou
sand to a million.
The presidential election was pro-
vided for in articles adopted by the
constitutional assembly which met at
Queretaro. Many of the old residents
declare that this was the first real
election ever held in the country. Re-
ports from various parts of the re-
public indicate that there was no dis
turbance or intimidation.

London, March 1.-THE Germans
north of the Aisne have been engaged
in a violent artillery duel with the
French. Northwest of Rheims and
zeal BezonvauX attacks against the
French positions were attempted but
repulsed. The French on the other
hand carried out successful surprise

On the Russian front there have been
only minor operations and artillery
activity. There is still no news con-
corning the situation in Roumania.
Local artillery actions are in prog

front. An unofficial dispatch reports

CHINESE BREAK IS EXPECTED
Both Houses Vote for Rupture With
Germany.

Picking, March 13.-The Senate has
approved the severance of relations
with Germany by a vote of 152 to 81.
1t is expected that the government
will take action to this end immedi-
ately. The House previously has ap-
proved the projected break by a vote
of 131 to 81.
After the House had approved the
severance of relations, the German
minister presented a note to the for
eign Office offering to negotiate for the
protection of Chinese lives and prop
erty in the submarine zone.
In official circles it is believed the
legation hoped through the note to
postpone the break. 1t had no inf1u-
ence on the cabinet and the Senate.

lean B~luejackets Whose Mission
Is Simply to Patrol Shore
Stations.

Santiago, Cuba, March IA. - From
his base at Guantanamo, Admiral Hen.
ry T. Mayo, commander of the United
States Atlantic feet, has received re.
ports from at least five Cuban shore
stations where American forces had
been landed.
From one of them, however, came
any evidence that the landing of the
Americans was the beginning Of In
PREVENTION.
Five hundred marines and bluejack-
cts are patrolling Santiago, smaller
detachments are doing similar duty in
Guantanamo, Manzanillo and Nuevitas.
The only interior station where Amer
lean man-o'war's men have been
placed is at the Ell Combre mine, a
few miles from Santiago.
No Interference With Government.
The Americans here have been
careful not to interfere in any particu-
lar with the civil government. Officials
appointed by the Liberals before they
evacuated the city remain in control.
Just what the situation is in the in
terror is not known by the Americans.
The government advance forces com
manded by Pablo and Fausto Menocal,
brothers of President Menocal, arrived
at San Luis, which was evacuated by
General Comacho after skirmishing.
Rigoberto Fernandez, with his force
of rebels, is at Songo, southeast of San
Luis, and 20 miles north of Santiago.
The Menocal brothers await reinforce
ments before advancing further.
