would be useless to try an escape as
we would only be recaptured within
a few hours. But when two
Mexicans laid down their rifles
about fifteen feet from them, ] sig
nailed Peterson. and he made a rush
for the rifles while / endeavOred to
Overpower the guards. But they
bested me, and the other one covered
Peterson with his rife.
Sunday morning RentaTiO told uS
that the kilograms for the ransom had
been sent. He told Peterson that if
the ransom was not paid he was going
to get a shirt and some trousers for
him and take his uniform back to the
Americans to prove that he had been
killed, but that he would not kill him;
he would kill me. he said. Sunday
night he left and came back Monday
morning, bringing the kilograms from
our parents ard food which was sent
by Captain MatIack. He was in fine
spirits and told US the money would
be raised by ranchers by p m.
AT p. m. our guards told us to
get ready and we hiked two miles
over the mountains to a deep canyon,
where the guards informed us Rem

challenge him. We were guided on
the journey by Rentario.

Rentario told US that he would send
Lieutenant Peterson out first, and If
the money and everything went right.
he would then send me out. He put
Peterson on behind a horseman and
rode out through a cornfeld, where
he met Captain Matlack. Rentario
told Peterson he was his good
friend" and got his address, so, he
said. he would come to visit him He
expressed the desire TO ride with him
in his airplane some time and hoped
he would soon see his parents. This
was when Peterson brought back to
him the $500. which Captain Mat
lack had given him for ransom.
AS soon as Peterson had left with
Captain Matlack, I was started on
foot. with two mounted bandits be

l SympathiZed with a man being led
to the EallOws. for I was convinced
that some treachery had been planned
and that so far as ] was concerned
they were going 10 put an end to
things. as ! knew Rentario hated me.
However, in an hour they took me
back TO San Antonio, and RentariO
shook hands with me as he bade me
'Good-by.' He said that if he ever
saw me again he would kill me on

to Captain Matlack.

GERMANS MAKE
USE OF BOLSHEVIKI
Situation in Hungary Regarded as Di-
rect Challenge to Action of Paris
Peace Conference-May Have to
Moderate German Demands.

LONDON, March 27-The London
newspapers regard the action of Hungary
as direct challenge to the associated
powers, and call for firm and sharp ac-
ton in order to establish control of the
situation. The Daily Telegraph says:
THE Hungarian government has open
| ly renowned the armistice, which alone
would have raised the necessity of taking
| firm and prompt measures to reassert the
the authority of the victors. Coupled,
as it is, with plain invitation to the
armed Bolshevism of Russia to come to
the aid of those defying the associated
powers, the action of Hungary is tenfold
more serious. 1t calls for sharp and firm
action.
The Telegraph alludes to the four states
men now meeting daily at President Will
sons residence as, in effect, council OF
war. The Telegraph continues:
The imperative obligation of the hour
is to reassert our mastery of the situation.
i The associated powers possess the means
to do so, and there must be a radical re-
moval of the idea that they do not possess
them or are incapable of using them, for
this idea is the explanation of the recent
display of recalcitrance in Germany and
of the fiat defiance now uttered in the
name of Hungary"
i The Times says that the Germans are
making the use which was expected OF
the Bolshevik movement in Hungary.
i THE different parties in Germany" il
, continues, '.are agreed that the events in
Hungary must force the associated pow
ers to moderate their demands on Ger
, many, but it is satisfactory TO hear that
, the majority Socialists and Scheidemann'
government, so far as is known, remain
true to their policy of making peace quick
: ly with the allies and obtaining food fol
Germany. The quiet transfer of the Ger
+ man merchant ships outweighs any
: amount of vain boasting.
I THE business of the conference is Il
e confirm the German government in thei

DRINK HOT WATER
TF YOU DESIRE a
ROSY COMPLEXION
Says we can't help but look
better and feel better
after an inside bath.

To look one s best and feel one s best
is to enjoy an inside bath each morn
ing to flush from the system the pre-
vlous days waste, sour lamentations
and poisonous toxins before it is alb
sorbed into the blood Just as coal, when
it burns, leaves behind certain
amount Of incombustible material in
the form of ashes, so the food and
drink taken each day leave in the ali
mentary organs a certain amount of
indigestible material, which, if not
eliminated, form toxins and poisons
which are then sue ked into the blood
! through the very duets which are in
tended to suck in only nourishment to
sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow of
| healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon
arising, glass of hot water with q
Fteaspoonful of limestone phosphate in
it, which is harmless means of wash
ing the waste material and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels
thus cleansing, sweetening and purify
ing the entire alimentary tract, befor,
putting more food into the stomach.
Men and women with sallow skins
liver spots, pimples or pallid complex
ion, also those who wake up with /;
coated tongue, bad taste, nasty breath
others who are bothered with head
aches, bilious spells, acid stomach o
constipation should begin, this phos
phated hot water drinking and are as
sured of very pronounced results in on
or two weeks.
A quarter pound of limestone phos
phate costs very little at the dru
store but is sufficient to demonstrat
that just as soap and hot waite
cleanses, purifies and freshens the ski
on the outside, SO hot water and limt
stone phosphate act on the inside o.

internal sanitation is vastly more in

How to Be Rid of
Dangerous Dandruff

If you have dandruff you must get
rid of it quick-it's positively danger
GUS and will surely ruin your hair if
you don't.
Dandruffy heads mean faded, brittle,
gray, seraggly hair that will not grow
then you are bald and nothing can help
you.
The only sure way to abolish dandruff
for good is to destroy the germ that
causes it. To do this quickly, surely,
and safely and at little expense, there
is nothing so effective as Partisan sage,
which you can get from Wilfred F.
Root and good druggists everywhere. 1t
is guaranteed to Danish dandruff, stop
itching scalp and falling hair, and pro-
mote a new growth, or the cost, small
as it is, win be refunded.
Partisan sage is scientific prepare
ton that supplies all hair needs-ar

greasy, easy to apply, and delicately
perfumed.-Adv.

HUGHES PROPOSES
7 AMENDMENTS
Would Clear Up Ambigui-
ties in Present Drafts of
League
ADMITS DOCUMENT
HAS MUCH MERIT
But Finds Defects Which He Consid-
ers Dangerous-Is Particularly Fear
full About Tenth Article-says it is
a Trouble Breeder.

NEW YORK, March 27.-Seven amend
ments to the league of nations covenant,
intended primarily by their author to in
sure the American continent against Eu-
ropean aggression, to protect the United
States from enforced administration of
foreign territory and to revoke the
'trouble-breeding' guaranty of the exist
ing political independence of member ma
tions, were proposed here last night by
Charles E. Hughes
Minor suggestions of the former SUI
preme court justice and Republican Pres
, idential candidate were that definite linn
itation be placed upon the leagues field
of inquiry, reserving to the several ma
| tons exclusive control of immigration,
tariffs and other internal problems; that
provision be made for the withdrawal OF
states from the organization, and that
what he termed an ambiguity as to the
requirement of unanimous decisions by
the league be cleared up.
! In an address before the Union League
club reviewing exhaustively the terms oil
the proposed covenant. Mr.. Hughes de
clared that the American people were
entitled to a better piece of work" He

said a mistake had been made in giving
the impression that the document would
be a finished product with good reason
for its choice of expressions, when later
1t was found necessary to excuse it as
hasty draft which required revision
He added that much would have been
gained if at the outset" part of the time
expended in its praise had been devoted
to its correction.
The Hughes amendments suggested.
aside from formal improvements, were
stated as follows:
l. Explicit provisions as to the require
ments of unanimity in decision.
2. Suitable limitation as to the field Of
the leagues inquiries and action, so as
to leave no doubt that the internal con-
Germs of the states, such as immigration
and tariff laws, are not embraced
3. Providing that no foreign power shall
hereafter acquire by conquest, or in any
other way any possession ON the Ameri-
can continent, or the islands adjacent
thereto.
4. Providing that the settlement OF
purely American questions shall be re
mltted primarily to the American nations
and that European nations shall not IN.

| American nations.

Mr. Hughes criticized severely the 10tl
article of the covenant, under which tn,

respect and preserve as against externa
aggression the integral integrity and ex
isting political independence of all state
members of the league. Conceding tn

wore one pair of shoes with Neolin
Soles for nineteen months. This chase
