Plea Is Made to SaUe Life
of General Felipe Angeles

New York-A plea for the life of
General Felipe Angeles, Villas lieu
tenant. who was captured by Mexican
federal troops, was made by telegraph
Friday to President Carranza OF Next
co by F. Gonzales Cara, governor of
the federal district of Mexico under
Madero. Cara appealed for clemency
on the ground of the fidelity of Gen
eral Angeles to the cause which Car
rama and Cara supported during the
tragic week marking the overthrow
of the Madero government.
"Too much Mexican blood" Senior
Cara declared in his message, has
been already spilled. For the sake of
memory of your wife, whose remains
are perhaps still warm, for the mem
DRY of your brother, sacrificed on the
altar Of political passion, for the mem
DRY of the Apostle Madero, divine fore
runner of civil redemption in Mexico,
do not permit the blood of this citi.
zen, loyal to his country and to his
principles to be spilled. Honor your
ancestors, glorify that movement of
emancipation, upIift yourself by spar
ing the life of General Angeles, whose
fate is entirely in your hands.

AMERICAN DEAD ARE
NOT TO Be EXHlJMED
French Proposed Lew Did Not
Pass at Last Session Of the
Chamber Of Deputies.

Paris.-The $4,000 American dead in
France must be left in the graves they
now occupy until the French are ready
to exhume their own dead, which, it
is hoped, will be before Jan. 1, 1922
The foreign office has promised to
consider the latest request of the
American government for the return
of it's fallen soldiers, but later the
following announcement was made;
1T has been definitely decided that
allies who fell together for the same
cause should remain together in death
until circumstances permit of the re-
turning of the bodies to the families
for whom they sacrificed themselves. -
The proposed law forbidding the
eXhumatiOn OF the soldier dead for
three years did not pass at the last
session Of the chamber of deputies,
but the foreign office expects that it
will be adopted soon. This bill spe-
cities a delay in elimination of three
years from the PRONUNCIATION Of the
law, but it is expected that this period
will be shortened.
At the foreign office it is said to be
probable that the exhumation will be-
gin considerably before January, 1922.

WILL NOT USE GERMAN DYES
Real Reason Why the Red Trousers
of the French infantryman
Have Been Discarded.

The red trousers of the French army
are to be no more. There is political
and economical tragedy about it with
which very few people are familiar.
The originator of the red trousers was
Napoleon, who was prompted in his
reform" by a desire TO help the ma
tive cultivation of madden root against
the Dutch and Italian rivals.
But then came rhe Graebe-Lieber-
mann discovery of the alizarine dyes,
and in less than fen years, between
1870 and 1878, the production of mad
der root in France shrank from $4,000
TO 500 tons, and then il disappeared.
This was great German victory. New
eftheless, the army trousers continued
to be dyed red only this time the dyes
had TO be imported from Germany.
1t evidently required a great war TO
put an end to this humiliation.

"The Department of Agriculture,
