Breach of Discipline Embarrassed the
Mexican Government.
(RX ASsnciafed PrAssl
(By Associated Press)

Mexico City, Aug. 1.-Charges Of
breach of discipline of the army and
&C conduct tending to embarrass the
foreign policy of Mexico have been
made against General Juan Merigo in
connection with statement said to
have been made by him which was
published in local paper and in
which he was alleged to have advo-
Gated that Mexico break with Germany
and join the Allies.
General Merigo asserts in reply to
TIE charges that at the time the
statement was made he had resigned
from the army and his resignation
had been accepted, and tht he cor
sidered his utterances patriotic rather
than likely to involve Mexico to her
detriment.

TRYING TO DIVIDE BELGIUM

Part.
(By Associated Press)

The Hague, Netherlands. Aug. L.
The Germans are steadily carrying
out their scheme of dividing Belgiu:l
irto two parts, comprising the Wal
loon or French speaking, and the
Flemish provinces, respectively. The
past month has been the splitting uu
Of the ministry of the interior and
the ministry of foreign affairs, leav-
ing only two departments not ye,
affected-those of finance and JUS
tice.
The Walloon ministries are being
transferred to Namur, the German
appointed capital of the French haif
OF Belgium, the Flemish remaining 1T
Prussels.
Where the Belgian officials have
refused to lend their cooperation and
obey the German instructions-and
this has occurred in the case of =
number of leading administrators -
such dissenters have been replaced by
men more pliable in German hands,
often chosen from among those who
have lent themselves to forwarding
the separation idea or have otherwise
commended themselves to the occupy

Somme, whence recently the Germans
were driven. The dogs appeared to
enjoy the relaxation just as much as
the men, with whom they had just
r1arched back from the trenches after
a spell of duty lasting for twelve
days.
These dogs, mostly of the sheeL-
dog species, do most valuable service,
at night more especially, in company
with the lookouts who have the task
cf keeping an unfailing guard on the
front lines. The dogs have become
quite accustomed to the roar and
bursting of shells, which, when the
animals were first sent to the fight
ing line, caused them to run off with
their tails dropping.
Now when the human sentinels are
posted right in face of the enemy the
dogs take their position quite natur-
ally beside them and keep sharp

Directions For Making
Dyes of Various Colors

The high price and scarcity of for

keepers to the old time homemade
dyes Of grandmother's days. says the
Farm Journal
The bright yellow or canary color
used for cotton goods in bright colored
rag carpets can be made by boiling
twigs of crabapple trees in soft water.
A deeper yellow orange color is OBJ
tanned by the simple method of boiling
5 cents worth of copperas in water
enough to make one pailful. This gives
dull sage green looking hue. which
changes to orange color after dipping
the rags in a weak solution of I've wa
ter. After wringing these out shake
and expose them to the sun and air.
At first the color will not be bright,
but as the rags dry the color comes
out strong. lasting orange.
For blue color use the liquid bluing
in bottles, and if green is required
after securing good shade Of blue re-
dip the fabric or rags in the yellow
dye.
For a pretty pink shade. needed for
! ribbons or wooden hoods, soak a sheet
| or so Of bright red Grape paper in wa
ter; let it lie in soft water quite a long
time. Then squeeze out all the pulp.
You can make any pink shade of dye
by this process.
Walnut bulls and also a decoction of
logwood chips give very fine brown,
color.
For dove and slate color boil in an
iron vessel teacupful of black tea,
| with a teaspoonful Of copperas and
sufficient water to extract and dissolve.
Afterward dilute with water to the

For purple for each pound of goods
use two ounces Of cudbear. Rinse the
