Needless % say, the spiritof fri

AMERICAN FLEET TO PAY MEX
IC0 A VISIT.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-The Pa
cific fleet is being rushed to Mexican
waters following the report that
American seamen from the United
States ship Cheyenne were held up
and robbed by Mexicans.
The fleet, under command of Ad-
mlral Hugh Rodman, Kentuckian,
has been officially ordered to the Pa
cific coast, but it is stated on good
authority here that the 200 vessels
comprising the flotilla, will cast
anchor in several Mexican ports and
demand to know why"
The fleet Of warships which left
Hampton Roads, were joined Sunday
by scores Of destroyers and other
craft, and by the time Mexican wa
tiers are reached will number more
than 200 vessels.
In spite of the expected "stop
of" in Mexican waters, the fleet is
scheduled to arrive at the Panama
Canal, July Is, at San Diego, CAL,
August Z, and San Francisco,
| August II.
Tension in the relations between
the United States and Mexico has
been increased by the Administra-
tons determination to demand
prompt satisfaction from the Next
can Government for the robbery of
American seamen on board the
launch of the United States steam
ship, Cheyenne, coupled with Presi-
! dent wilson's intention to press an
inquiry into the Carroll murder case.
No attempt is made by Washing
/ ton officials to disguise the fact that
Washington regards the situation as
serious.
Mexico has not only earned the en-
nifty and suspicion of the United
States, but the allied nations as we'll.
at least two of which (Great Britain
and France) have large bills to pre-
sent against the Mexican Govern
ment for destruction of properties
owned by their citizens.
For this reason the enforced &C
counting of Mexico for her misdeeds
will not take place merely because
the United States desires it. Other
nations are equally insistent that
steps shall be taken to bring it
about. Great Britain, France and
Holland all have their claims, which
they have tried to press through
diplomatic channels.
These countries have common
cause against Mexico, and that Gov
eminent has answered each of them
in the same inso1ent manner.
The day of reckoning will deal
with the many millions Of dollars
worth of American property that
has been destroyed and the more than
800 American citizens who have been
ruthlessly murdered south Of the Rio
Grande. The United States is GER
tain to demand more than attempted
explanation or open apology from
the Carranza regime for the continu-
ed abuses which American citizens
have suffered in Mexican territory.

BURNING BALLOON ALIGHTS ON
CHICAGO BANK ROOF

CHICAGO, July 24.-The Illinois
Trust and Savings bank, jackson
boulevard and La Sale street, in the
heart of Chicago's shopping district,
was converted in the twinkling of an
eve Monday afternoon from place
of bustling business activity into a
scene of death and destruction.
Literally, the fatal bolt came out
of a clear sky. Unseen and unsus-
pected by the bank employees engross-
ed in their duties, a giant dirigible
balloon passing 500 feet above the
structure, suddenly burst into flames.
Crumpling to earth like bird
wounded in flight, the mammoth air
craft plunged downward.
Spectators in the street were
stricken motionless with horror when
they beheld the balloon dropping
with its gas bag afire and witnessed
the desperate efforts of the pilot
and the four passengers to save
themselves by means of their para
chutes.
Inside the bank there was moth
ing to warn the workers of the swift
ly-descending doom. It was past the
regular banking hours, but the clerks
were still busy at their various
desks. A shadow fell across the
| marble rotunda as if a cloud were
passing over the huge skylight in
the top of the structure. The next
instant there was a deafening crash,
and the whole building seemed to be
enveloped> in flames, through which
could be heard the screams and
grOanS of the wounded.
The present toll of II dead may
be increased, as several of the &c
injured are so badly hurt that they
are not expected to live. Nine of the
II killed were employees of the bank,
while the other two were passengers
in the balloon. One of the latter
was Earl Davenport, former sporting
writer, who was publicity man for
the Chicago amusement park, for
which the dirigible was making it's
flight. Davenport apparently did not
get an opportunity to jump, as did
| the other occupants, for his body
was hurled through the bank roof
and burned to crisp. Carl Weaver,
mechanic, of Akron, O., the other
passenger who lost his life, attempted
+! to leap from the burning machine
with his parachute, but was caught
in the falling balloon and burned
]. A. Boettner, the civilian pilot of
the Inflated airship, was the only
one to land without injury.

is "kecp the kidneys in good order"
"Avoid too much meat, alcohol or tea.
Drink plenty of pure water, preferably
hot water, before meals, and drive the
uric acid out of the system by taking
Anuric." This can be obtained at
almost any drug store.
Send a bottle of water to the chemist
at DR.. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo,
N. Y, and you will receive free medical
advice as to whether the kidneys are
affected. When your kidneys get slug
gish and clog, you suffer from backache,
sick-headache, dizzy spells, or twinges
and pains of lumbago, rheumatism or
govt; or sleep is disturbed two or three
times night, take heed, before too late.
Get Anuric (anti-uric-acid), for it will
put new life into your kidneys and your
entire system. Ask your nearest drug
gist for it or send DR.. Pierce ten cents
for trial package.

HOUSE PASSES DRASTIC PR0HI.
BITION LAW.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-The
prohibition enforcement bill, de-
scribed by members opposing it as
drastic enough to invite a Presiden-
tial veto, finally passed today by the
House.
The vote on the passage of the
bill was 287 to 100, with three men,
bers voting present.
The vote was taken after a motion
by Representative Igoe, Democrat,
Missouri, to recommit the bill had
been defeated 225 to 1876. Nearly
every member of the House was in
attendance and there was so much
noise during the rollcall that Repub-
ican Leader Mondell was recorded
as supporting the Igoe motion. He
was permitted to change his vote.

HOUSE OF COMMONS COMPLETES
CONSIDERATION OF PEACE
TREATY.

LONDON, July 24.-At what was
virtually an all-night session, the
House of Commons completed it's con-
sideration Of both the German peace
treaty and the Anglo-French conven-
ton.
The bill carrying approval Of the
German treaty was considered in
committee Of the whole, exciting
lengthy debate, in which Premier
Lloyd George took an active part.
The bill was then placed before the
House and passed it's third reading,
after motion by John Devlin to re-
ject it as protest against the Pre-
nIier's attitude toward Ireland had
been defeated by 1913 to 4.
Then at 8 a. m. the Anglo-French
pact was taken up and the bill ap-
proving it was unanimously adopted
after a short but sharp debate in
which the argument that the treaty
was not consistent with the spirit OF
the League of Nations failed to find
any substantial echo.
The German treaty passed through
all its stages.
In concluding his speech on the
treaty Premier Lloyd George, while
making no claim of perfection for it,
expressed confidence that any defects
would be remedied by the League of
Nations. Notwithstanding it's imper-
fections, the Premier declared the
treaty would stand as "a lighthouse
in the deep and a warning to nations
and rulers of nations against the
peril which the German Empire
shattered itself against
