MANY AMERICANS
MEYER SEEN AGAIN
After They Have Crossed the Shaky
Wooden Bridge Leading to the Little
Adobe Town of Tuarez, Mexico.


Juarez, Mexico, Aug. 20 This is the
port OF missing men. Many Americans
have crossed the shaky wooden bridge to
this little adobe town who have never
been seen nor heard of again. The files
Of the United States consulate here are
filed with letters from mothers, wives
and other relatives asking for informa-
tion about men who have disappeared
somewhere in Mexico.
Many were killed fighting with the
various revolutionary forces during the
six years war. Others were murdered
for their money on the Gale Diablo---
Street of the Devil--or were killed by
bandits who rove over the country en-
forcing the law of the six shooter Still
others are living out their lives in some
mountain settlement under assumed
names. often with native families.
lom Kingsberry's name was the latest
addition TO the long list Of those men
missing in Mexico. Kingsberry was fore
man for the Palomas Land q Cattle COM
pany Of Los Angeles He left for an in.
spection Of the cattle ranches west OF
here and has not been heard from since,
Mexicans here whisper Of q feud existing
between the Palomas cowboys and Jose
Ynez Salazar's band Of outlaws. Salazar
was killed at the headquarters ranch Of
the Palomas company That was where
Kingsberry disappeared a year later
For months the body Of an American
swayed in the wind suspended from a
telegraph pole at Rancheria, south Of
here. He was caught dynamiting bridges
and hanged by the federal railroad
guards He was never identified. Many
Americans are known to have been exc
cuted in the cemetery on the hill. Few
were given an opportunity to notify
their relatives.

Annoying Kidney Ills

Are you bothered with too frequent

AMERICAN RIFLE
FIRE SURPRISING
It Has Brought the Rifle Back into Pop
ularity Among French and
British Soldiers.

Paris, Aug 20 correspondence Of The
Associated Pressl The effect of Ameri-
can rife fire has been one of the great
surprises to the enemy during the recent
engagements along the front As a result
the rife Is fast coming back to its own
as the dependable weapon for infantry
fighting, For time its place was chal-
lenged by the hand grenade and some Of
the English and French experts took the
view that the grenade would gradually
supersede the rifle. Trench warfare has
accustomed both sides to the grenade, so
that the rifle was seldom brought into
use
Even with the two weapons available,
the troops had become accustomed to use
the grenade rather than the rifle, and an
enemy fugitive would often be chased
until his pursuer was near enough TO
throw grenade, when a rifle ball would
have brought down the fugitive from a
distance.
All this has been changed, however, by
the open fighting Of the present offensive
Americans have made of the rifle. Gen
eral Pershing has maintained from the
first that the rifle was the indispensable
weapon for infantry, a,fd while the gren-
ade has not been neglected, every Amer
lean unit has been thoroughly trained in
rife practice.
Many of the national guardsmen, as
well as the regulars, were crack rifle
shots winners in tournaments and vet
Grams of the rifle ranges maintained at
home. These ranges have become no
table feature of the training on this
side until the whole American organiza-
tion has become specially proficient with
the rifle.
German prisoners all recount the same
story that the greatest surprise came
from the impetuosity of the American
troops and after that the sweeping fire
of the American rifle caused the greatest
CONSERVATION and loss Accustomed to
waiting for grenade attack at close
quarters the maE8 formations of the on
envy were suddenly exposed to concen-
trated rifle fire at distance with every
shot from a trained marksman who was
not blazing into the air but was picking
out his target and sending his bali home.
This experience has fully sustained the
American contention for the rife as
against the grenade and French and Eng
lish military experts are agreed in the
enthusiastic approval they give the
Americans as riAemen and in the view
that the rifle has again demonstrated its
right to be considered the paramount
Weapon for infantEg aghtinR.

FULL OF DANGER
FOR THE ALLIES
Political Situation in the Caucasus Must
Be Treated with a Great Deal
of Consideration.

Picking, Aug. 30 Correspondence of the
Associated Press The political situa-
tion in the Caucasus is full af danger for
the entente allies, according to Z. A. Var
row, chairman of the American commit
tee for Armenian and Syrian relief, who
arrived in Peking from Ti1is recently.
From Batoum to the British front in
southern Persia the only force opposed
to any German Turkish advance, he said,
is comparatively small number Of Ar
menians with limited supplies of food
and ammunition, cut off from all com.
munication with the allies. On the other
hand all the Tartars are loyal to Turkey
and Germany. The northern portion Of
Persia, he declared, is pro-German and
these elements are ready to take hand
in the war if equipment and leaders can
be furnished them. There is possibility
Of this German sympathy extending to
Turkestan and Afganistan.
In the Caucasus and northern Persia,
Mr.. Yarrow says, the Germans could mo.
Billie at least a million men and while
they are not especially good fighters
they could greatly embarrass the English
in southern Persia and Mesopotamia
ace, namely, strong PRESSURE in Persia
and Mesopotamia, and the more remote
possibility of striking the enemy through
Siberia
"The Germans have the Caucasus and
southern Russia" Yarrow continued
and are pressing on with all sorts of
enterprises and making conquests which
require little or no military force. As
they 60 on they are picking up their war
prisoners compatriots and under one
guise or another getting them armed so
as to cooperative when the time comes
The Mohammedan races in that region
are getting the idea that the German
arms are invincible. There is ceaseless
activity Of German agents among them
pressing this view upon them, and if
events follow logically as they have be-
gun ii seems almost certain that the al
lies will have most difficult situation
to deal with"
Mr.. Yarrow described conditions OBJ.
tanning at the time of his departure,
about the middle of March, as follows:
All communication TO Persia had been
cut by the local Tartars. The railroad
south Of Erivan had not been in opera.
ton for several months. Officers of the
Turkish army were working in this sec
tion training the Tartars.
The railroad from Tifis to Baku was
entirely in the hands Of the Tartars and
they permitted only an occasional train
to pass and that subject to the most
rigid search at stations en- route From
the train following that on which the
| Narrow party came out, nine -combatant
Englishmen were taken at EIizabethpol
and although Yarrow remained in Baku
10 days they had not been released.
On the Turkish front TO the west there
was considerable activity. After the fall
Of Trebizond, Erzerum and Kars, the only
way out from Baku was over the Georg-
ian pass from Tiflis to Vladikavkaz by
automobile and this was becoming un.
certain because Of the approach of Ger
mans from Rostov The American con-
sui, Smith, remained in Tifis and expect
cd to hold on as long as possible,

MADE HAPPY
Satisfied That "Neutrone Prescription eo'
Is All That's Claimed

This reliable prescription has, since be-
ing placed in the hands of the public,
done more to remove rheumatic troubles
than all previous remedies combined
1t is different from other remedies in
that it does not upset the stomach or
impair the heart, condition heretofore
thought impossible.
1t is not cures all but remedy to be
taken internally, treating rheumatism as
a constitutional disease by its general
action through the blood.
The treatment is a most complete com
bination of rheumatic-reducing elements
and is dependable to produce results
from the fact it aims at rheumatism as
