Mexico Again Threatens

Washington, May 30.-MemberS oi
the foreign relations committee Ct the
Senate are showing lively interest in
Mexican developments on the eve Of
the reconvening Of Congress,
Recently Villa has been unusually
active in northern Mexico, committing
depredationS on native and foreign
property. Now comes the official an
nouncement by the Italian government
Of the affront to Rear Admiral Count
Max Loavetelli, Of the royal Italian
navy who was placed under arrest In
Mexico while On an inspection trip Of
oil lands, and when his identity was
known to the authorities, While on
the tour the secretary to the count
was attacked near Tampico and robbed
Of valuables and clothing. Admiral
Loavetelli was ordered to appear before
a Mexican tribunal but this he refused
TO do.
The activity Of Villa, together with
the humiliation Of the Italian officer,
particularly at the time when the
Flume discussion is serious, tends to
force the Mexican problem into the
position where it may become one Of
the big questions before the Congress
which is already burdened with titanic
tasks in trying 10 get the country
back TO Its normal basis.
While it is pretty generally over
looked, it is a fact that during the
whole Of the European war, thousands
Of !. !A.aE.a.==..iiean troops have been held Oh
the border to defend against invasion
Of the Mexican bands and, as one
officer expressed it, the soldiers Ii
Texas are about as anxious for relic
as the men who are being held on tho
Rhine.

Missouri Boys and Girls Canning Clubs

The summer Of 1919 in club work
is opening with renewed interest in
the preservation Of fruits and vege-
tables. The war time habits OF energy
and thrift are still with the young
people Of Missouri. Ninety'three can
ming clubs scattered over the rural
districts Of the state are completely
organized with all the necessary equip
ment for full seasons work. 10 ad
dition to these rural clubs, the children
in the cities Of St. Louis and Kansas

According to officials these meetings
will tend to strengthen the relation
ship between rational, division and
chapter officials, which is essential in
the iurtherance Of Red Cross activities.
All three conferences will be open
to chapter delegates from any part oi
the division, which includes Missouri,
Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas and
Texas.

Europe where he assisted in the for

ties, the purpose Of which is to unity
the Red Cross organizations Of the
world in a systematic effort to antici'
pate, diminish and relieve misery
caused by disease and disaster.
Dr.. Farand's first announcement
upon his arrival from abroad is that the
work Of the American Red Cross will
not slacken until all the misery caused
by the war has been overcome, While
the Red Cross Of each nation will have
its own part to play in the new work,
large proportion Of the relief work
must be undertaken By the American
organization, he declared.
The most interesting and touching
situation now confronting America and
the American people," said Dr.. Far
rand, is that in the Balkans and
Eastern Europe. The diseases which
are likely to spring up among a people
i'll nourished and with poor sanitary
surroundings are beginning to ravage
Eastern and Southwestern Europe.
Typhus fever is spreading at an alarm
ing rate,
The main item in the peace pro-
gram Of the American Red Cross will
be to use the membership Of 10000
900 as machinery for the protection
OF public health. 1t has been de-
cided to continue the Junior Red
Cross, with its 100000 members
and to encourage them to help the
children OF Europe TO obtain an edu'
cation and ft themselves loF their life
work.
The relief Of distress and disease,
the prevention oi accidents and prot
lems Of motherhood, child welfare and
sanitation will be important subjects
on the progtam. First aid will be
taught, together with home care for
the sick. The Red Cross will also
be prepared to alleviate distress at
points where there is no other social
agency.

Champ Clark has Ambition to win 1920
Nomination.

Washington, May S0.-It is well
known among the friends Of Former
Speaker Champ Clark that he aspires
to the nomination for presidency on
the democratic ticket in 1920, Up
until shortly before the recent House
democratic caucus, administration
democrats in the House were working
to dislodge the former Speaker, They
wanted to prevent his selection as
minority leader. The real purpose Of
this plan, OF which Sanders Of Louisi'
ana was the nominal originator, was
10 put irto the leadership a man a,
menable to the wishes Of Of the White
House and at the same time TO get rid
Of Mr.. Clark as a presidential pos

Mr.. Clark has never the cordial sup
port OF the administration because on
different occasions he declined to sup
port administration policies. How
ever, his friends felt that this was moi
the only reason for the movement &c
keep him out OF the leadership. They
believed it was down at bottom an at
tempt to thrust him out oi the list oI
1920 possibilities. The opposition Il

hard for some week, found itself I'm

In resume Of doctors errors, Doc
tor Jackson told of the discovery of an
inverted staple In man who had been
under treatment for tuberculosis for
Is months, and of the finding of the
top Of an atomizer In patient who
had spent much time In California. He
said that the rays had discovered an
umbrella tip in the body Of daughter
of a physician after the girl had been
an invalid for six years, Of the location
of six-penny nail which caused "un-
mistakable symptoms" Of tuberculosis,
and of the finding Of tacks which also
confused the diagnosticians.
DR.. Charles A. Waters, United States

thousands of American soldiers had
been saved in France by the use Of the
