Poison Gas Called
One of the Humane
Weapons of Warfare

Washington, Nov. 25.-Poison gas
is one of the most humane weapons
of war, according to report by Sur
geon General Ireland, based on an
alysis of American casualties in
France, made public today. While
74,779 of the 274,217 battle casual
ties resulted from enemy gas, the re-
port says, the number of deaths was
Every SMALL"
Gas caused 27.3 per cent of all
casualties, it is found, accomplish
ing the prime object of all weapons
Of war, which is to put men out of
action" but there were only 1877 per
cent of deaths in gas cases, as COM
pared with 1874 per cent from shell
or bullet wounds.
'In other words, based on statis-
tics" the report said, "the claim is
advanced that man gassed has II
times as many chances of recovery as
the man put out of action by other
causes"

romoff, the president of the soviet
here, who raised a "local fund for

Comment Cautions

Mexico City, Nov. 24.-(Monday)
The circumstances surrounding the
arrest of the American consular
agent, VIM. o. Jenkins, which has
been treated alphabetically on the
part of most of the newspapers, fur
nished the basis for an extra edi-
ton for Ell Universal Monday after
noon.
The newspaper quoted special dis
patches from Washington and New
York saying in effect that the next
session of the American congress
with the Mexican situation, reviving
the possibility of Intervention, and
giving alleged plans of the Ameri-
can government for military ad-
vance against Mexico.
The extra. which was headed "A
Grave Situation Between Mexico and
the United States" created no undue
stir.
Generally, the newspapers seem in
clined to treat the Jenkins affair
with much caution. There has been
minimum of editorial comment, and
none of this inflammatory.
At the American embassy late to-
day it was said that n -eanswer had
been received from the Mexican gov
eminent relative to the American
governments note demanding the re-
lease of Mr.. Jenkins. So far as is
known here today, Mr. Jenkins re-
mains in the penitentiary at Puebla,
still refusing to give BAIL
Dispatches received from Puebla
say that Mr.. Jenkins release by the
authorities is expected "from one
moment to another" These dispatch
es also say that FREDERICK Cordova,
the bandit who is alleged to have
headed the band which captured Mr..
Jenkins and held him for ransom,
and Cordova's aide. liberia, have been
located by federal forces south of
Puebla and that their capture seems
assured.

DON'T BURN AND Bis
TER YOUR SKIN WITH
lINIMENTS AND
PLASTERS
Trying to Cure Your Rheumatic
Aches and Pains.


Whenever you suffer from an at
tack of rheumatism, your muscles
and joints ache and hurt, it's but
natural to try to stop the pain. Such
relief, however, is only temporary
and sooner or later the aches and
agony return, even worse than before
because the poisons are all the time
accommodating in the blood.
The necessary treatment is to re-
move the real cause of the aches and
pains-cleanse the blood of those i'm
purities which multiply unless the
proper treatment is applied.
Do this before another attack, be-
fore your joints swell and you lose
the use of the parts affected. Get
yourself bottle of the well-known
Plough's Prescription C-2223 and a
package of 1928 Liver Pills. Take
one pill at bedtime; the following
morning begin the Liquid Plough's
Prescription C-222S treatment, tax
ing teaspoonful doses three times
a day in half glass of water. Wear
suitable clothing, do not expose your
self in damp weather and abstain
from the use of red meats and pas
try.
Many medical authorities agree
that there are very few drugs which
have any value in the treatment
of Chronic rheumatism, and those
named are used in the preparation
of Plough's Prescription C-2223.
The manufacturers have so much
faith in the merit of Plough's Pre-
scription C-222S that they will re-
fund the price of two $3.50 bottles
if you do not get the relief which
you expected.
Your nearest druggist can sup
ply you with Plough's Prescrip-
ton C-2223 at $3.50 bottle, or
the C-2223 Laboratory, Memphis,
Tenn, viii send to you prepaid on
receipt of price. Clip and mail this
for sample of 1928 Liver Pills and
leaflet which tells you all about
this real rheumatic treatment.

ton on Case.

Washington, Nov. 25.-The new
flare-up over the Mexican problem
growing out of the Jenkins case, was
given serious consideration today
at a meeting of the presidents
cabinet.
There was no intimation as to
what this government might do in
evetn President Carranza refused to
answer the note from the state de-
partment demanding immediate re-
lease of William 0. Jenkins, consular
agent at Puebla, held on charge Of
conniving with bandits who kidnapped
and held him for $150,000 ransom.
No attempt was made to conceal
the feeling that the situation was
serious and that relations between
the United States and Mexico were
strained. Officials said the three
departments, state, war and navy,
were ready to deal with any situa-
ton arising out of more defiant
attempt to settle affairs.
In the absence of advices from the
embassy at Mexico City, officials
were not inclined to put much faith
in reports coming by way Of Laredo,
Texas, that the release of jenkins
twas momentarily expected" There
was no word to the department from
the Mexican embassy here and while
nobody seemed to know what the
next day might bring forth. Officials
said they would not be surprised to
hear that Jenkins actually had been
released.
Meanwhile, the government has
checked up on the official and pri-
vate record of Jenkins and has given
him a high class rating. Officials
declared there was no foundation for
the charge that he had conspired
with the bandits, and that informa-
ton from every available source
showed that his statement of his cap
the bandits, was correct in all de-
tails.
The latest reports from the Ameri-
can embassy showed that Jenkins was
ture, and the methods employed by
still in the penitentiary and i'll and
that bail had been refused him.
In looking into the various features
of the consular agents predicamen:
officials pointed out today that under
the Mexican constitution state courts
had no jurisdiction over cases involv-
ing diplomatic or consular officers
such jurisdiction being lodged speci.
fically in the federal court.
It was contended that the fedora
court of Mexico could settle the ques.
ton with one stroke of the pen, sim.
ply by assuming jurisdiction, as is
its right.
