REDEEMED SELVES
Pardoned After Sleeping on Outposts,

MEXICO REQUEST
QUICK WITHDRAWAL
Rptest to State Department Against
Pursuit of Bandits Probably
Will Be Ignored.

Washington Aug. 21.-Immediate
withdrawal of the American troops
now on the trail of bandits in North
ern Mexico was asked today by Mexi-
can Ambassador Bonillas who called
at the State Department to present
formal protest from the Carranza
government. The text of the protest
was not made public and officials
would not discuss it further than to
say that no reply had been made.
At the War Department it was said
that no additional reports on the op-
erations of the American forces had
been received from Major General
Dickman, commanding the southern
department. The troops now are well
in Mexico and army officers hope that
before returning they will clean out
bandits from the stretch of territory
20 miles south of the border where
they are operating.
Whether a reply to the Mexican
protest will be sent has not been an
nOunced. Such protests have been
made heretofore without drawing 6
response, officials regarding them as
having been submitted largely for the
record.
The American forces went into Mex
leo on "hot trail" seeking the ban
dts who held the American army
aviators, Lieutenants Davis and Peter
son, for ransom, and it was indicated
today that the Mexican protest would
not hasten their withdrawal.
Daily advices to the State Depart
ment are keeping officials here in
formed as to the state of public opin-
ion in Mexico as reflected in the news
papers in Mexico City. Reports re-
ceived today show a general belief in
the capital that failure to solve the
petroleum problem is an important
fa.etor in the present strained rela-
lions between Mexico and the United
Estates.
The Universal is quoted as saying
that official opinion in Mexico de-
mands a complete change in the cabi
net.

WARNING is GIVEN THAT CARE
Full INVESTIGATION SHOULD
BE MADE OF ALL CASES.

Dawson, Ga, Aug. 21.-Dawson, in
common with the rest of the country,
has been afflicted with entirely too
man, fakirs within the past. Every
few days a solicitor for this or that
cause calls around and usually gets Il
donation from liberally-inclined pub
lie. This gentry appears to be quite
numerous and active just now, and it
is the part of caution to go slow in
giving to strangers.
The Macon Chamber of Commerce
has adopted set of rules to he fol
lowed in giving to charity. These
rules will he of help to the public
here. and for their benefit are pub
lished herewith:
DO not give to collectors just to
get rid of them-frauds flourish on
such unwise generositv.
Ask all solicitors to show their
credentials-thev should carry prom
err credentials signed by the officers of
the organization they represent and
written on official stationery.
1t is the safest to mail your check
direct to the treasurer of the fund
and not give it to the solicitor un-
less sure of the solicitors identity
and honesty. Do not give cash to So
licitors-you have no means of tell
ing whether it ever reaches the chari-
ty.
Beware of lan organization that
cannot tgive better address than a
postoffice box number. A bona fide
organization will have a street or Of
flee address.
Every reputable charitable agency
has board of managers to direct its
work and control it's finances-be
ware of zone man" organizations.
A charitable organization, if run
properly, should have it's accounts
satisfactorily audited annually, and
should be willing to make a public
annual financial statement. Refhse
to contribute to any organization
thar is unwilling to do this.
Remember that unworthy charita
BILE enterprises are as often conduct
ed by women as by men-the fact
that woman solicitor appeals to you
for contribution does not necessa-
rily mean that the charity is worthy.
Always investigate before you sub
scribe. There is no disgrace in giving
wisely.
