Ambassador Fletcher Tells
House Committee. i,
NO ANTI-U. S. FEELING

Henry P. Fletcher. American am
bassador to Mexico, told the House
rules committee today that since his
appointment three years ago about
fifty Americans had been killed in
Mexico without a single prosecution
being made by the Mexican authori-
ties.
Replying to questions by Chairman
Campbell. Ambassador Fletcher said
withdrawal of recognition of the Car
rama government by the United
States would only increase the turmoil
in the southern republic. He added
that he did not know of any revolu-
tionary leader capable of establishing
a permanent government.

Troops Hostile to United States.

Mr.. Fletcher said Mexican troops
| were very hostile to the United States
and favorable to Germany.
Asked if Mexico committed any
the war, Mr.. Fletcher said shipping
had been maintained from Tampico.
where rich oil fields were located.
! What diplomatic situation do you
suggest regardig Mexico?" asked
Chairman Campbell.
IF you will excuse me, I'd rather
not answer that" was the reply. THE
business of ambassadors is to execute
rather than formulate"
| While declaring that "deplorable
| conditions exist in certain districts =
Ambassador Fletcher said in the dis
iderful submission was manifested.
The Carranza government, he added,
/ is in control of most of the republic
and practically all ports. He said the
territory controlled by Villa was only

! a mobile force only.
Governments Aim to Be Friendly.
[ "As between the two governments -
! asked Chairman Campbell, what is
| the general attitude of the Mexican
people toward the government and the
| people of the United States? I mean
the Carranza people and the Carranza
| government"
They attempt to maintain friendly
relations" replied the ambassador.
''They have committed as a govern
! ment nofact that 1 know would be
considered inimical."
| Mr.. Fletcher told the committee
| that Mexico proclaimed its neutrality
| when the United States entered the
! war with Germany and as far as he
knows. maintained it. Other than
rumors, he said, he knew of no at
tempt to form German and Mexican
alliances.
! Regarding German propaganda in the
southern republic, he said the German
| news service in that country was
| handled largely from Laredo, Tex.
but said the cables and wireless were
not used by the Germans, however.
| Ambassador Fletcher submitted to
| the committee list of about $50

American murdered or outraged in Mex

Office. This list was prepared by the
State Department in response to a reso-
luton presented by Senator King of

Salt superstltions.

Superstitions concerning salt are
among the earliest known to mankind.
There is much evidence in holy writ
for the ceremonial uses of 1t, and the
old Mosaic law commands that every
sacrifice of meat offering shall be
seasoned with it. Homer calls it d.
vine, and many of the old Teuton
races looked on salt springs as holy
and worshiped at them. The origin
OF this superstition seems to be that
since salt cannot corrupt'it should be
regarded as a symbol of immortality.

No Rabbits in Palestine.

Among the hoofed animals found In
Palestine are the fallow dear, a Eu-
ropean type, gazelles and other ante
lopes, characteristic of Africa. The
wild boar, still common, seems to have
had for its Biblical companion Behe-
moth the hippopotamus, though this
became extinct ages ago. His pgmy
relative of the rocks, the little hyrax,
is a well-known beast of Palestine, and
is also of African type, Africa being
the home of the family. This is the
'coney' of Scripture, but there is no
rabbit in Palestine.

Eat to Break Up Cold.

When cold first starts physicians
usually advise light laxative diet,
consisting chiefly of hot lemonade or
orangeade, broths or gruels, with
crisp toast, baked potatoes, mild
stewed fruits and vegetables. After
this for a few days, until the cold
seems to be broken, it is well to eat
an ordinary diet, with plenty of fruits
and vegetables. To aid the body In
recovering eat meals which give more
fuel value than usual.
