 MEXICO CITY, Sep. 9-Purchase of two qunboats and six destroy CTS is being considered by the Mex ican government, according to Gen: Plutarco Elias Gales, secretary ot war and marine.
 "l understand that destroyers can be bought from the United States government for SZU,uoo each" General Gales told group of newspaper men recently. "ln view of the success with which these small craft were used during the war, 1 believe that 1t would be advisable for the Mexican govern ment to buy three for the Atlantic service and three for the Pacific"
 General Gales and his staff are at work on a plan for universal military service, with which 1t IS expected that the determined fig ure of 50,000 soldiers can be raised.
 ''I believe that the best military age is from 21 to 22 years" the war least selfish and best able to get along with each other, regardless of the walks of life from which they come.
 ''In the meanwhile" General Gales added, "the mastering out of troops is progressing briskly, and thousands of soldiers are be- ing returned to civil life. where the government believes that they can best serve their country by tilling the farm and manning the facto- ries. The privates and the higher officers are cooperating in the movement, it is said, the only op- position coming from few petty chiefs"

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

NEWARK, N. J., Sept. e.-Methods modern tales of mystery, as applied to chemical analysis of orang colored spots on a water front cat, brought re- covery of $3oo,0oG worth of stolen Ger man dyes and arrest of IT men, the department of justice bureau announced today.
 Government sleuths assigned to solve the mystery of who held up watchmen at a state department warehouse in Hoboken, where 5000 pounds of Ger man dyes as part of Germany's indem- nifty were being held, and carted the dyestuffs away in motor trucks. had been at work on the case for weeks.
 Suddenly attention was attracted by the strange orange color of spots on a wharf cat.
 Following what amounted to an in spiration, a department of justice agent caught the cat and tooK it to a chemist where it's orange hair was analysed with the discovery, it was stated, that German dyes were responsible for its unique color.
 The cat was then released and shadowed. Its home" was said to have been located in a house on River street, Hoboken. This house was watched for a long time-
 Last week as a result of shadowing, visitors to the River street house, de- partment of justice agents said they had recovered 5000 pounds of the stolen dyes on a motor truck in Patterson and 5000 pounds more in a Brooklyn ware house. Arrests followed by twos and threes almost immediately afterward. it was stated.

Labor Shortage
 Threatens Food
 Supply of U. s
Republican A. P. Leased WIreI


 NEW YORK, Sept. 9-Shortage of labor in the agricultural states IS resulting in a reduction of acre age which threatens America's food supply, according to the find inss of PerIey F. Walker, dean of the national headquarters of the American Society of National En- gineers. The dean is head of a re- search committee of the Mid Con- tinent section of that society.
 Dean Walker found population at standstili or declining in the agricultural sections, pointing out that sixteen out of 1o5 counties in Kansas prevented that state from decreasing in population in a dec ade, the increases all being in in- dustrial sections "The same thing holds good in Iowa and doubtless in other states for the same period" the dean reported.
 Many farmers cannot pay their 1919 debts because the railroads are unable to move their wheat harvest, and they are pairing down production, he said.
 As a remedy, Dean Walker suq- gested a study by engineers of the economies of transportation and production with view to systema- tizing national fitting of enter prizes to localities. This, he thought, would work better dis tribution of population where need ed and would prevent continued in ability of the transportation sys- tems to meet the demands upon them.

 Such a thing has never occurred to me-, said MT. de Valera. "The humor circulated in Cork that I would inter vene at the last minute is far fetched. Lord Mayor NIacSwiney is fighting his own battle and knows what he is do- ing"

LONDON, Sept, Slate tonight Lord Mayor MacSwiney of Cork was reported to be slightly feverisf. The numbness in his limbs and dizziness from which he suffered during the day were increasing, but he was still con- scious.
 A bulletin issued by the Gaelic league at ' D. m. says:
 Lord Mayor MacSwiney is very weak. He complains of headache and dizziness He is in considerable pain. The numbness of his body is in- creasing. Both his arms are now ban : daged He is still conscious" HOPE FOR DE VALERA MEesAeE
 CORK, Sept, ,9.-In view of the firm stand the government appears to be maintaining in face of the appeals for the release of hunger strikers, a report has started in Cork that the last min ute intervention may come from Eamonn de Valera, "President of the Irish republic" According to this ru- nor, the source of which cannot be ascertained de Valera is expected to cable Lord Mayor MacSwiney that his life is too valuable to the Irish cause to sacrifice and ordering him to break his fast.
 The belief seems to prevail here that if this were done MacSwiney would be released immediately and that the discharge of the Cork prisoners would quickly follow.
 Sean Hennessy, a 19-year- old hunger striker, was still unconscious this af- ternoon. His father continues to re- fuse to call in a doctor to attend him The other prisoners were weaker today but are said to be determined to hold out.

Interchureh Cooperative Agencies

WateFville, Me-, April 29.-One Of the
original reasons why the Interchurch
World Movement was organized. accord
ing to statement issued today from
State headquarters, was 10 prevent
overlapping in religious effort, and du-
piication of machinery and oFganiza-
ton. Thirty denominations in uniting in
the Movement, agreed that they would
work in harmony to this end, being
willing at times to forego the denomi-
national advantage for the general
good. A few denominations, not yet
in the Movement, we're not willing to CO.
operate in this particular which was
considered an essential to the success Of
the world wide program.
That the principle of cooperation of
church denominations illustrated by the
InterchuTch World Movement is not
rev or untrted Ia evidenced by the Icing
list of American Protestant cooperative
agencies in foreign lands, compiled by
the Interchurch organizations in its re-
cent world survey and made public yes
terday. It is for the continuance Of
such agencies already operating on the
plan Of co-ordinated denominations, as
we'll az to extend the mission work of
the respective denominations at home
and abroad, that the 1nterchureh fnan-
eial campaign Is being conducted.

various denominations are making a

Whooping cough is the mean
est" disease that childhood is
heir to. While rarely fatal in
itself, except to children under
two years of age. still it hangs on
so long-the coughing paroxysms
are so violent, preventing proper
sleep and digestion-that when
the disease does disappear it
leaves the child weakened and
run down. In addition the
violent coughing racks and strains
the air passages and after re-
covery this irritation frequently
remains.
During this period of conval-
essence the child should be most
carefully watched until full
strength is restored and the air
passages regain their normal tone.
A prominent authority even goes
so far as to say-"There is more
criminal neglect in connection
with whooping cough than with
any other disease.
