Bandit Damage Claims

the republic upon the triumph of the
respective revolutions.
, Claims for damages caused by the
forces Of the said governments in the
performance of their duties and dur
ing the struggle against the rebels
;. Claims arising from operations
Of the sO-Called federal army to the
time Of its dissolution.
Stock companies organized under
the laws OF Mexico would be consid-
cred as Mexican and therefore entitled
TO no claim for damages even though
all the stock might be owned by
Americans either resident or non
resident in Mexico
. 1t will be seen that under the decree
the Mexican government would hold
itself not liable for losses caused by
revolutionary bodies unless the then
existing government formally recOg-
nized these bands as revolutionaries.
This would permit the government to
escape liability for large sums due
Americans whose property has been
destroyed or pillaged.
The State Departments answer is
not likely to be satisfactory to men,
bers OF Congress, who have been de-
manding that some program should
be made toward settling these claims.
Senator King. of Utah, announced
several weeks ago that when Con-
gress reassembles he will introduce a
resolution asking the President to en-
ter into negotiations with the Mexican
government for the appointment of an
international commission to settle the

At Theaters Last Night.
Garrick-MnnteII In "Kins Lear

Garrtck-Mnntell In "ktng Lear"
Shakespeare's tremendous story OF
the grief and bitterness of age, as
suffered by Lear, King OF Britain.
was rendered by Robert Mantell and
his company last night before an
audience that made the little Gar
rick Theater seem pitiably cramped.
The play carried its unfailing mes
sage of pity and terror, despite the
fact that it's difficulties are gener-
ally held to be beyond the scope of
ordinary stage production. Mr.. Man
tells vigorous talent refuses to
stand awed before the sublime pas
sions OF the aged king. If it were a
question only OF his part in the
undertaking, no one could fairly ac-
cuse him of rashness.
The company, of course, is another
matter. Such parts as Goneril and
Regan, Gloster. Albany and Kent,
are satisfactorily conveyed by the
competent players always to be
found in Mr.. Mantelrs companies.
Miss Hampers soft and appealing
charm is well adapted to the re-
quirements of the role of Cordelia.
Fritz Leiber's ways are suited to the
part or Edgar in it's heroic aspect
But the most fascinating scenes of
the tragedy are those in which Ed
gar. disguised as Mad Tom. and the
Fool share with Lear the horror of
his madness. For adequate treat
ment of these passages positive
genius is called for. and genius is a
commodity that. unfortunately, the
most well-meaning tragedians can
not summon to their aid in the cur
rent market.

Wake UP FEELING
GLORIOUSLY
Wonderful How CaIotabs, the
Perfected Nausealess CaIomeI,
Makes You Feel So Good the
Next Morning.

Doctors say that the ld-style cal
omel was the best medicine in the
world and the only thing that would
straighten out Il disordered liver, but
it has some serious drawbacks. The
salivating and the sickeninC after
effects made many people dread TO
take it. Now you can take calomel
without the slightest objection. One
Calotab on the end of the tongue at
bedtime with a swallow of water,
that's all. No taste, no danger, no
gripping, no nausea. no salts. Next
morning your liver is clean, your
system purified and you are feeling
like a 2-ycar- -old-with a hearty ap-
petite for breakfast. Eat what you
please-no danger.
Calotabs are so delightful that your
druggist will refund the price il you
are not delighted with them. Sold
only in original sealed packages, price
