Washington.-War savings stamps,

their clothes about them for centuries,

They go Over the Top"
The Americans worked like football
players, every nerve and every har.
dened muscle straining. The sergeant.
by reason Of long practice. was able
to ward off some thrusts with the
point or Lutt. but from many he had
to jump"
Even more vigor was shown by the
men as they occupied the trench line
and, with their officers, went over the
top In charge. The operations began
by firing from the trench at the dunn
mics in the enemy trenches. Some Of
the men made perfect scores, while
only three of the whole class fell be-
low so In possible 100.
The men went furiously at the
charge, urged on by the most emphatic
language that a British sergeant major
might be credited with having at his
command. He shouted to his men !:
"Give it to 'em-in the heart, In the
throat! That's the way. If you don't
get them they'll get you! On your toes
all the time! Quick Quick! Quick ]"
The urging was unnecessary. The
men knew what to do and did 1t, and
they were so we'll trained that orders
were anticipated.
The French and British officers were
enthusiastic, especially at the speed
and energy of the Americans. Some

Of the maneuvers, for they will be car

Switzerland hitherto has permitted,
without any material objections, scores
of thousands of strangers to enter al

action has been taken to stop this only
because her hospitality has been gross

all foreigners entering the country
must be equipped with ironclad pass

j. S. INTERVENTION
IN MEXICO IS SEEN
~ CARL ID. GROAT.

The proposed league OF nations may
call upon the United States to settle
unstable conditions in Mexico.
This development was foreseen here
today by men in touch with Mexican
and American governmental Affairs
Great Britain may even ask that q
stable government be established in
Mexico. without awaiting creation OF
league of nations, some officials
believe.
The recent Tampico clash, though
OF a minor nature: the raid on the
Hibler ranch: the outlawry that
above all, the squalor, poverty, and
disease long rampant in that country,
are assigned as reasons for a clean
up.
The United States and Great Brit
ain have looked patiently on in Mex
leo for a long time, because the world
war occupied their attention. But
they literally have been paying trib-
ute to get out their oil from the Tam
pico fields, and now IL Is feared that
Carranza, with his naturalization
ideas as to Tampico. will try to sell
these properties to other interests.
Urge Military Cleanup.
For the most part, military men
believe that economic assistance could
not be granted unless there had been
military cleanup. for they view
Mexico as too shaky to gain equiiib-
rum except through such action.
In regard to economic aid, II Is
pointed out that the United States
consuls recently meeting ut Mexico
City agreed upon q Recommendation
that 10000, 900 pounds of -four and
20, 0O0. 900 pounds OF sugar be import
ed from the United states into Mex
leo. This would be distributed by
districts and safeguards would be
raised against boarding.
Mexico has long been under the
hand OF the Germans This attitude
changed somewhat with the United
States-allied victories, but In many
quarters of the country the ignorant
ones still sneer at the United States.
Great BriiaIn's Attitude.
Great Britain has looked askance
at Mexican matters. for a long time;
but because of her close alliance with
the United States in the war and be-
cause of her pressing oil needs she
refrained from insisting upon q set
