In connection with the attitude of Ru

have pushed back both wings and it is
only in the center, in the Varder val

TMDPS IN MEXICO SET
LOW SICKNESS RECORD
Sick Rate in Expedition Less
Than Half That of the
United States
(By Aaaociated Press.)
FIELD HEADQUARTERS AMERI
CAN PUNITIVE EXPEDITION. Mexico.
Aug. 22.—0n1y six deaths from disease
and a present sick rate of 1.5 per cent
for the American punitive expedition
since it entered Mexico more than five
months ago. was the record contained
in official figures given out here today
by the sanitary department. Adding the
number of sick being treated at the
base hospital to those in the field, the
rate is increased to 2.5 per cent. There
has not been a single case of typhoid,
the prevailing ailment being dysentery.
"This is a remarkabel record for an
expedition serving in this sort of a
country with nothing but field equip
ment," declared General J. J. Pershing,
commander of the punitive expedition, I
when shown the department’s figures.
"It probably is as low a record as any
similar expedition ever has set and
shows the wonderful strides made along
sanitary lines within the last few years
and the high efficiency of the sanitary
department.
"It also shows the high appreciation
of sanitary regulation by line officers
who have been held to a strict account
for violations by these commands. Only
once during the life of the .expedition
has there been what threatened to be
come an epidemic. This occurred re
cently at a camp south of headquarters
where the water caused a number of
cases of amoebic dysentery. When the
sick rate climbed to 5 per cent the chief
surgeon and his entire corps were sent
from headquarters. A quick and ex
haustive study of camp conditions was
made and measures taken which soon
reduced the rate to 1.7 per cent. The
chief means used in curing this epidemic
was the chloridanation bag. This de
stroyed the organisms .in the water
which caused the disease. At one time
there were 125 cases at the camp men
tioned. There are now 113. From avail
able data it appears that the sick rate
in the expedition is less than half that
of the United States."
Can Property Owner
Be Convicted When
Tenant Is “Tiger?”
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
SAVANNAH, Ga.. Aug. 23.—f.. T.
Lyons, executor of John Lyons estare,
from whom Baker Bryan rented the
{.lace from which he conducted an al
leged blind tiger, was acquitted in po
lice court on a charge of renting to a
tenant who violated the prohibition
laws, because the prosecution was un
able to show that the defendant hud
"let,” or caused to be let, property that
he owned, or controlled, for the purpose
of violating the prohibition laws," or
that the accused knew that an Illicit
liquor business was being conducted in
the place in question. *
The outcome of this case has im
pressed both officers and prohibitionists
that convictions in this connection prob
ably will be hard to .procure because ot
the nature of the evidence necessary io
convict. Real estate people particular
ly are uneasy under this phase of tha
law, contending that when property is
rented as fruit and soft drink stands
it is impossile for the owner to know
whether the tenant intends to or does
violate the laws.

COMMISSIONERS NJMEO
FOB MEXICIN PROBLEM
F, R, Lane, Judge George Gray
and Dr. John R. Mott
Named by Wilson
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23 —Secretary
Lansing announced last night that the
American members of the joint com
mission to undertake settlement of dif
ferences between the United States and
Mexico would be Franklin K. Lane, sec
retary of the interior; Judge George
Gray, of Wilmington, Del., and Dr.
John R. Mott, of New York City.
All of the commissioners have ac
cepted their appointments, the Mexican
members were named some time ago
and arrangements for their meeting will
be made immediately by Secretary Lan
sing and Eliseo Arredondo, General Car
ranza's ambassador designate. Virtually
the only question to be decided is where
the sessions will be held. The Mexi
cans are understood to prefer some re
sort on the New Jersey coast.
Secretary Lane, who will head the
American group, was the first member
selected. Associate Justice Brandeis
was President Wilson’s second choice,
but after a conference with Chief Jus
tice White he decided his duties would
not permit him to serve. Judge Gray,
a retired federal circuit judge and a
former United States senator, has had
much experience on International bod
ies and since 1900 has been a membet
of the international permanent court of
arbitration under The Hague conven
tion. Dr. Mott is general secretary
of the International committee of the
Young Men’s Christian associaton and
author of numerous religious works. He
was offered the post of minister to China
by President Wilson, but declined it.
Girard Stirred When
Ex-City Marshal Is
Accidentally Killed
COLUMBUS, Ga., Aug. 23.—W. D.
Perry, former city marshal of Girard,
and at one time deputy sheriff of Ru i
sell county, Ala., died at the city hos
pital in Columbus this moaning as the
result of a pistol wouna in the stom
ach, said to have been inflicted acci
dently when his gun dropped from his
pocket while he was entering his home
in Girard late last night.
Perry was a ipember of the recent
Russell county grand jury that Indicted
many city Officials and others in con
nection with violations of the Alabama
state prohibition act, and this fact
caused the starting of a rumor that he
had been assassinated.
An Investigation is under way. It
is believed, however, that the shooting
was accidental.
RELIEF FOR FLOYD
FLOOD SUFFERERS
ROME, Ga., Aug. 28.—County Farm
Demonstrator J. H. Foster has been
notified by the United States department
of agriculture that there have been
shipped for destitute sufferers from
the recent floods in the county 1,200
pounds of rape seed, 2,400 pounds of
cowpeas and 800 pounds of beet seed.
Distribution will be made to the flood
sufferers, who have already received
11,000 packeages of buckwheat seed.
Road work under the joint auspices of
the United States government and the
county of Floyd is going on in several
districts of the county. More than 100

WHY WOMEN
WRITELETTERS
To Lydia EL Pinkham Medi
cine Co.
Women who are well often ask “Are
the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine?” “Are they truthful?”
“ Why do women write such letters? ”
In answer we say that never have we
published a fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
It has relieved women from some of
the worst forms of female ills, from dis
placements, inflammation, ulceration,
irregularities, nervousness, weakness,
stomach troubles and from the blues.
It is impossible for any woman who
is well and who
has never suffered yij |(f
to realize how these 'WSrwX u\

men feel when re- II Ny i

GREAT WAR GAME
NOW BEING STAGED
BY THE U. S. NAVY
Fully 77 Ships of All Sizes
and Classes Taking Part in
Contest of “Reds” and
“Blues” Off Atlantic Coast
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22. —A strong
"Red” enemy fleet convoying thirty
transports bearing invading army ar
rived within six hundred miles of the
Atlantic coast at 6 o’clock this morn
ing, and the greatest war game ever
undertaken by the navy department be
gan.
Within an hour the twelve battleships
and the "Blue" defending fleet were
speeding to sea behind a far-flung line
of destroyers and scouts, intent upon
locating and destroying the enemy.
Admiral Mayo commands the "Red”
fleet of the fifteen battleships, six
swift destroyers, representing the scout
ing line and six other navy craft, repre
senting the fleet of transports and store
ships. Rear Admiral Helm has 17 de
stroyers and seven light cruisers as h)s
scouting screen and close to shore are
fifteen submarines as a last line of na
val defense.
KNIGHT IS UMPIRE.
Rear Admiral Knight, president of the
Navy War college, aboard the super
dreadnaught Pennsylvania, will umpire
the game in which 77 fighting craft are
engaged. The reserve battleships form
ing the "Blue” fleet main line are man
ned by naval militiamen and civilian
volunteers.
Admiral Mayo has until September 1
to evade the "Blue’’ fleet and effect a
landing at any point between Cape Hat
teras and Eastport, Me. The sphere
of action extends 600 miles to sea be
tween those points.
For the purposes of the game the
navy department was placed on a war
footing this morning. Officers were as
signed at each bureau to stand watch
night and day. Watch will also be
maintained at all Atlantic coast navy
yards, and at the'navy’s communica
tion stations. In the office of Rear Ad
miral Benson, chief, of operations, a
great chart of the war zone was set up
and as reports came from Rear Admiral
Helm or from any other source showing
the position of the ships, navigators laid
off the positions. Any information as
to the whereabouts of the invading fleet
which may come from commercial ves
sels to any point along the shore will
be promptly forwarded to Rear Admiral
Helm.
STRICT CENSORSHIP.
A strict censorship will be exercised
over reports from the defending fleet,
however, as Admiral Mayo has been
authorized to ask passing ships for
newspapers or any other information
they may have as to the disposition of
the defending forces.
For that reason it is proposed not
to make public the reports of construc
tive disasters Rear Admiral Holm will
send back from time to time to test
out the organization of the navy depart
ment’s various bureaus and at the navy
yards.
Far at sea, Rear Admiral Knight is
receiving reports from both com
manders and plotting the game on
charts. It is Admiral Mayo’s object
either to decoy the defending fleet out
of his way, while his transports slip
by to land the invatjing army, or to
draw on an engagement with such units
of Rear Admiral Helm's command as
will insure the crippling of the defend
ing forces.

JiflN TNIII6 TO BET
LIND ON PANAMAML
Reports of International Intri
gue Are Ordered Investi
gated by Lansing
(By Associated Frets.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22. —Investiga-
tion of reports from Panama that a
60,000-acre land concession at the Atlan
tic end of the canal is being sought by
a Spaniard named Fernandez, presum
ably for Japanese interests, was ordered
by Secretary Lansing. Mr. Lansing re
fused to discuss the report in detail, but
the announcement was considered sig
nificant.
Rumors of a similar nature have been
common ever since the canal was well
under way. Several months ago it was
commonly believed in diplomatic circles
that private Japanese shipping interests
were seeking land through Spanish in
termediaries to establish a base for
storing coal at lower rates than could
be had from the American govermnei t
monopoly base. So far as known noth
ing definite came of that plan.
The present reports are that Fernan
dez is seeking or actually has secured
a 60,000-acre land concession through
the activity of Ramon Valdez, whose
recent election to the presidency of
lanama may possibly be disputed by
the United States because of alleged
frauds and coercion. Admiral Coucfts,
of the Spanish navy, selected by the
Panama government as umpire to settle
the dispute with the United States over
the purchase price of canal property,
is alleged to have given very valuable
information about , the canal itself.

STRIKERS IN CHATTANOOGA
Cars Will Not Be Operated
After Dark If There Is
Further Trouble
_ (By Associated Press.)
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Aug. 23.—A1l
street cars of the Chattanooga Railway
and Light company ceased operation at
10 o’clock last night on order of the
general superintendent, who said it was
a precaution against violence by strike
sympathizers to passengers and oper
ators, threatened in suburban districts
beyond jurisdiction of the city police.
The order was issued after a rock had
been thrown through a street car win
dow, injuring a woman, and after win
dows in another car beyond the city
limits had been broken by pistol shots.
Hundreds were compelled to walk
home from the business districts on ac
count of taxicab companies being in
adequately prepared for the emergency.
If no change is shown in the strike sit
uation today, cars will only be operated
in daylight on suburban lines, Company
officials predicted.
No further attempt will be made to
force non-union motormen and conduc
tors off street cars and further ne
gotiations will be started with the Chat
tanooga Railway and Light company
for recognition of the union, according
to the decision of a mass meeting held
last night and attended by trades un
ion members, former street car oper
ators and a large number of sympathiz
ers. Sixteen out of 225 motormen and
conductors quit work, according to com
pany officials, during the rioting Mon
day night when union sympathizers
forced them off the cars in the business
district. Strike leaders said no defi
nite plan for procedure has been agreed
[ upon for a settlement.

said the tube showed blood spots. The
tube fits the car which Wade owned and
was abandoned here. Search for his

“If Everybody Realized the Good
Tanlac Did Me You Couldn’t
Make It Fast Enough to Sup
ply the Demand,” Says Mrs.
Bond.
"If everybody realised the good Tan
lac did me the factory would not be able
to supply the demand,” said Mrs. Mat
tie C. Bond, 510 Mosby 3»emp..*,j,
Tenn., in conversation with the Tan
lac representative a few days ago.
"I had suffered for ten years,” she
continued, "and was just about as near
a physical wreck as a person could be.
But look at mb now—l've gained fifteen
pounds since taking Tanlac and I feel
as well as I ever did in my life. I had
trouble with my kidneys and stomach. I
got to where I had to live on the very
lightest food and could eat very little
of that. The pains in my stomach and
back were awful. I was extremely nerv
ous and couldn't sleep, and was seldom
free from headaches. I felt tired all
the time and was easily irritated and
worried. I lost a great deal of flesh
and finally got so weak and run down
I could hardly drag myself around. My
color was bad, too, and finally the doc
tors told me I had gallstones and want
ed me to go to the hospital and be oper
ated on. I just felt that I could never
live through the operation, as my con
stitution was too weak to stand it. All
the medicine I took seemed to make me
worse instead of better, and I became
so despondent I didn’t care much wheth
er I lived or died. This is the very
shape I was in when I began taking
Tanlac.
"f have actually gained fifteen pounds
on Tanlac and I feel like a new woman
In every way. I can eat just anything
I want and everything agrees with me
perfectly. Honestly, I wouldn’t take all
the money in Memphis for the good
Tanlac did me. I have no more pains
about my back or stomach, am not
nervous like I was and sleep fine every
night. I don’t know what It is to have
the headache now. All the tired, bad
feelings have left me and took with
them that dread of an operation. I can
now do my housework with a pleasure.
Tanlac has done me so much good I
can hardly keep back the tears of grati
tude and I feel like writing a book on
Tanlac and sending it broadcast where
it will reach those suffering as I did."
Tanlac is sold by regular established
agencies in all principal towns of the
south.
