A RED CROSS OFFICIAL
CLAIMS THAT CARRANZA
PLANNED INVASION
OF TEXAS.

A report filed by K. G. Weller
with the State Department was
put into the records Of the Sen
ate committee investigating
Mexico, by Senator Fall Of New
Mexico, the chairman Of the
committee. In this report Mr..
Weller charges that, in the early
fall of 1915, President Carranza
Of Mexico was so confdent Of his
power, that he had gone so far as
to contemplate an invasion of
Texas. This information, the
Weller report says, was commu-
nicated to the author of the re-
port by various Carranzistas,
among them General Ellisondo,
then commanding the Carranzis-
tas in the state Of Coshuila. Sen
ator Fall said that the report
has never before been made pub
lie.
The Weller report, which COW
ers the period Of August Is to
September 25, 1915, says also
that, less than ten days after the
Red Cross Relief workers arriv-
ed on Mexican soil, the relief
train of which Mr.. Weller says
that there was no loss of life on
the train was because everybody
on it remained PROSTATE on the
car floors while the fusilade wa:
said, "was plainly marked with

said. "was plainly marked will

LEGION PAPER
ATTACKS FEDERAL VO-
CATION BOARD.

liz Au1eIICdu AcSIOIl, Ill ItS
official paper, the American Le-
gion Weekly, prints this week a
scathing protest against what it
calls the "broken promises of
the Federal Board for Vocational
Education. Part of the charges
read as follows:
"The history of this elabo-
rately constituted organization
which, with millions at it's dis
posal. has been charged with the
task Of rehabilitating disabled
soldiers and by training and re-
educating enabling them to re-
sumo self-supporting stations in
society, is black record of
broken promises and betrayal of
trust.
cup to June %, the board,
with it's 1885 salaried employees,
mad placed IN training only 1928
of the 100000 Americans disabled
during the war. It is not to be
expected. of course, that the
board will ultimately have to
provide training for all of these
100000 disabled veterans. On
June 21 only eleven men, on
graduation from their training.
had been situated in gainful oc-.
cupations by the board. On July
IL, the amended Act, with the
principal defects Of the old law,
became effective. Since that time
the board has been able to show
, an appreciable increase in men
actually started in training, but
only gain of twenty-five for
trained men at work. On August
z. the number in training was
5,512 and the number graduated
and at work had risen to sixteen.
Washington Office figures of Sep
J. tember q, gave the number in
a training as $500 and trained men
0 IN jobs, thirty three. Disabled
0 men placed in employment, with
n no training or incomplete train.
l. ing, numbered 16,4lO.

p that of this number 1880 were

Washing Won't Rid
Head of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid Of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you
destroy it entirely. To do this. get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
aryon; apply it at night when retiring;
use enough TO moisten the scalp and
rub 1t in gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning
most if not all of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more APP
plications will completely dissolve
and entirely destroy, every single sign
and trace of it. no matter how mucn
dandruff YOU may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store II is inexpensive and

VOTED MONEY FOR
RELIEF OF FAMINE
CONGRESS YIELDS TO SECOND
n PLEA OF PRESIDENT WILL
SON FOR FUNDS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-(By As
ISOLATED Press. Appropriation of
$100,000,000 for famine relief in Eu-
rope outside of Germany, was APP
proved tonight by the house, which
passed the administration measure
after its enactment had been urged
anew today by President Wilson as
the only effective means of combat
ing the westward spread of boil
shevism. The bill now goes to the
senate, where its early passage is
planned.
Party lines were effaced in the
house debate and vote, and despite
energetic demands by opponents of
the bill for more specific informa-
ton regarding the proposed expendi-
ture and criticism of the president,
II. G. Hoover, and Vance Mccormick,
chairman of the war trade board, a
special rule reported by the rules
committee, was adopted and after
ward the bill was passed 240 to 70.
The only amendment accepted was
one by Representative Sherley, in
charge of the measure, which per-
mits use of part of the fund for re-
lief in countries contiguous to Eu-
rope. This would make it possible
to aid the Armenians and other suf-
fering peoples in the near east.
Wilson Sends Urgent Appeal
President Wilson's urgent appeal
for the appropriation was sent to
Senator Martin and Representative
sional appropriation committees, and
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1919-01-14

was read in the house by Mr.. Sherley
1t was supplemented by a report tt
the state department from Henry d
White, chairman of the American
peace delegation. Both messages sale
the problem Of supplying food to the
distressed peoples recently liberated
was one of paramount Importance in
obtaining a return to normal con-
ditions
Food relief is now the key to the
whole European situation and to the
solution of peace" Mr.. Wilson said
"Bolshevism is steadily spreading
westward. 1t can not be stopped by
force, but it can be stopped by food"
The president added that unless the
'"tide of anarchism" is stemmed, it
may not be possible to find definite
governments with which to conclude
peace.
"Bolshevism thrives only on starva-
tion and disorder" declared Mr.. White
who said it was impossible to IN
augurate the peace conference under
proper auspices without previous ade-
quate provisions to cope with the food
situation.
Supervise Food Distribution.
Mr.. Sherley infromed the house
that an interallied council will SUI
pervise the food distribution, but this
statement did not satisfy opponents
of the bill. Representative Gillett of
Massachusetts, republican, said the
policy proposed might cost billion
dollars; Representative Smell of New
York, republican, wanted to know
exactly how the money was to be
spent and Representative Gordon of
Ohio, democrat, asserted that no in
formation was given that the fund
was needed to promote peace,
Reference to Food Administrator
Hoover caused Representative Wood
of Indiana, republican, to declare Mr..
Hoover "the most expensive luxury
ever fastened on this country" and
ne offered an amendment to put the
Red Cross in charge of the food re-
