Buy a bottle of Chamberlain's Collie

obtained when on a hunting, fishing

be obtained while on board the Ears

The safe way is to have it with you.

American Officials Are Weary oil
Continued Disorders in Mexi-
can Republic.
ARE FRAMING DEMANDS
Anarchy, Loss Of Life and Con-
slant Danger to Property Has
Brought This Result.

Washington, July 11.-Venustiana
Carranza, president of Mexico, may be
asked for an accounting by the Ameri.
can government within a few days.
1t is not expected that the account
ing will be satisfactory and every in
dication points to the result that Car
rama must go. AS sequel to the
various acts of Carranza which have
irritated the American government
ever since American recognition as
sured him of power, this government
has under consideration a showdown
with Mexico.
Trouble over the settlement of Mexi-
can oil claims, the continued anarchy
in Mexico, the recurring loss of life
and the constant danger OF property
has brought this result.
The attitude of CarranZa in ignor-
ing the State department in the set
tlement of oil claims and the estab-
lishment of a special commission of
his own in New York for the settle
ment of these claims has been the
last straw.
DisavoWai Is Issued.
The State department issued sharp
disavowal of published advertise
ment in a New York newspaper enti
tied the Truth About Mexico" calling
attention of Americans to the Mexican
claims commission authorized by de
crees of President Carranza of Nov
"a and Dec. "a, 1917, and suggesting
that all who have claims cognizable
by this commission should make appli
cation at once for damages sustained
The intimation in the advertisement
was that the American government
had approved this method of settling
the oil claims and this the State de
partment tartly denies.
The statement followed an extended
conference OF representatives of oil
interests In Mexico with Frank l.
Polk, acting secretary OF state.
While definite course of action has
not yet been decided upon, one is un
der consideration and Ii is thought
probable that ii will be put into effect
within a comparatively short time.
This program, 1t is understood, calls
for the occupation OF Mexican ports as
the first step in the direction of set
tlement with Carranza and future &C
ton is to be determined by events.
