Washington, July 26.-President
Wilson today In personal statement
addressed to his fellow countrymen,
denouncing mob spirit and mob action
called upon the nation to show the
world that while it fights for democ-
racy on foreign fields it Is not destroy
ing democracy at home.
The president referred not alone to
mob action against those suspected OF
being enemy aliens or enemy sympa-
thizers; he denounced most emphati-
cally mob action Of all sorts, especially
1ynchings, and while he did not refer
specifically to lynchings or negroes in
the south, 1t is known that he in
Guided them N his Characterization of
mob spirit as "a. blow at the heart Of
ordered law and humane justice"
1t is known that the lynchings of
negroes, as well as attacks upon those
suspected Of being enemies or sympa-
thizcrs have been used by the German
propaganda thruout Central and South
America as well as in Europe, to con-
tend that the pretansions Of the
United States as a champion of de-
mocracy are q sham. Deeply concerned
by the situation the president decided
to address his fellow countrymen and
to declare that every mob contrib
utes to German lies about the United
States what nor most gifted liars can
not improve 0pon by way of calumny.

put it's great energy into this war and

thrilled the world. l now call upon 1t,
upon it's men and women everywhere,
to see to it that it's laws are kept in

show our utter contempt for Ss
things that have made this war hid
eous among TIE wars of history by
showing how those who love liberty
and right and Justice and are willing
to lay down their lives for them upon
foreign fields stand ready also to
illustrate to all mankind their loyalty
to the things at home which they wish
to see established everywhere as a
blessing and protection TO the peo-
Plies who have never known the pri-
vileges of liberty and government.
Il can never accept any man as a
champion of liberty either for our
selves or for the world who does not
reverence and obey the laws of our
own beloved land. whose laws we our
selves have made. He has adopted the
standards of the enemies of his coun-
try. whom he affects to despise.

Chronic Constipation.

Perhaps you have never thought Of
1T but this disorder is due to lack Of
moisture in the residual matter of the
food. If you will drink an abundance of
water, eat raw fruits and take lots of
outdoor exercise, YOU may be able
eventually to overcome it entirely. In
the meantime use the most mild and
gentle laxatives. Strong and harsh
catharics take too much water out of
the system and. make a bad matter
worse. Chamberlain's Tablets are easy
and pleasant to take, and most agree
able in effect. Give them trial.

Hero Is Killed.
Outof all the confusion came
stories of heroism and disregard of
danger. A trainload of explosives
lay on siding near the Gillespie
plant. A railroad fireman. his iden-
tity not yet known, jumped to the
engineers post on a locomotive,
backed the engine and coupled it
to the train and took the cars out
of the danger zone AS his task
was completed, shell struck him
and he was killed.
In contrast to thousands of
townspeOple who fed, the wives
and relatives of employees hurried
into the vicinity of the Gillespie
plant and became frantic upon
learning that hundreds of the
workers might have been killed.
Throughout the night these per

sectors hostilities apparently-have

BY advancing northward over the
heights Of Blanc Mont and the

Americans placed the Germans in

about Moronvilliers in a dangerous
position. To prevent being out

" toward the river ATnes. Just
west of the Suippe the French are
moving toward the important
height of Moronvilliers.
Between the SUippe and Reims to
the west, the Germans are still in
deep salient and indications are
that they will retire from it alto
gether now that they have given
way on the eastern flank.
The German position is further
endangered by the French attack
northwest of Reims.
General Berthelot is attacking
the German positions along the
Aisne canal with great vigOr. AL

several points and has reached the
outskirts of BermericOurt, north of
