HOUSE AGREES TO RAISE SEV

Gl \
Washington, June ].---Am('ndnu_-nt.‘s‘i
to the naval appropriation bill to pro
vide for a $11,000,000 government ar
mor plate plant, for $3,500,000 instead
of $2,000.00 worth of aecroplanes, for
2,730 additional sailors and for a bo
nus system to encourage the speedy
private construction of ‘warships were
adopted today by the house sitting as
the committee of the whole,
Party lines were broken on every
vote. Twenty-three Republicans and
(wo Progressives joined the Democrats
in voting for the armor plate proposal
the final vote being 165 to 91. Thir
teen Democrats lined up with the Re
publicans on the additional aeroplane
imendment, which was carried 129
to 103. The bonus and increased per
sonnel amendments were adopted over
whelmingly without roll calls.
Debate on the armor plate amend
ment, which had been already passed
1s a separate bill in the senate, cen
‘ered largely around the question of
whether the Bethlehem Steel Company
the largest private manufacturer of
nlate, had treated the government fair
'y in dealings with it.
Representatives Butler and Graham.
5f Pennsylvania, waged the fight
igainst the naval committee amend:
nent, offering as a substitute an a
nendment by Mr. Butler looking to a
settlement of the controversy be:
(ween the government and private
manufncturers through a federal
‘rade commission investigation. The
Butler amendment would have pro
vided for an appropriation of build
ng a government plant, but made if
contingent upon the refusal of the
yrivate manufacturers to accept con
racts at prices judged by the commis
sion to be fair.
“Do not put a private concern out
»f busines in this maner without giv
‘ng it a chance,” Mr. Graham pleaded
‘The United States Government is not
eing cheated many would have you
yelieve. The prices this governmenl
s paying for plate compare very favor
\bly with what it costs the Japanesc
rovernment to manufacture plate.
Representative Sherley,of Kentucky
n supporting the committee amend
nent, declared his belief that the gov
srnment shoud manufacture some
)art of every article which it uses ex
Jusively simply to establish a cos’
price. He attacked the Bethlehem
Steel Company for its refusal, during
a recent congressional inquiry, to re
7eal the cost of making armor plate

MEXICO DEMANDS
TROOP REMOVAL
12,000 WORD N_O?F_‘—-SAYS IMMEDI
ATE ACTION MUST BE TAKEN—
CARRANZA MAKES DEMANDS.
Mexico City, May 31.—Claiming that
the words and protests of the United
States have been entirely in contradic
tion of their acts, and that in spite of
protests not to intervene in the affairs
of Mexico, soldiers of the United
States are in Mexico without the con
sent of the Mexican government and
in violation of Mexico’s sovereignty,
the Mexican government now asks for
the immediate withdrawal of these
troops. The request is made in a 12;-
000 word note made public at the for
eign office teday about noon.
The note recites the the American
troops crossed the border after the Co
lumbus incidnt without the permis
sion of the Mexican government. The
act was not considered one of invas
jon then solely because the TUnited
States said they had misinterpreted
the attitude of the Mexican, govern
ment. When the second expediiion
crossed the line after the Glenn Spring
incident, the note maintains, the plea
that this was done with the consent of
:he Mexican consul at Del Rio, Texas,
it untolerable and that act can be only
considered as one of the invasion.
“The Mexican government therefore
invites the United States to bring to
an end this unsupportable situation,”
the note concludes, “and to support
ts protestations axd declarations of
friendship by an immediately with
drawal of American troops.”
Maintaining that the protests of
friendship by the United States and
the expressed desire for non-interven
tion has been contradicted by the acts
of the Washington government, the
note says the time h%s arrived when
Washington must declare itself clear
ly and unequivocally as to its future
intention toward Mexico.

Why 18 man and woman, half

achy, dull and unstrung; some
days really incapacitated by ill

If we all would practice the
drinking of phosphated hot water

ing change would take place. In
stead of thousands of half-sick,
anaemic-looking souls with pasty,
muddy complexions we should see
crowds of happy, healthy, rosy
cheeked people everywhere. The
reason is that the human system
does not rid itself each day of all
the waste it accumulates under
our present mode of living. IFor
every cunce of food and drink
taken ‘into the system nearly an
ounce of waste material must be
carried out, else it ferments and
forms ptomaine-like poisons in
the bowels which are absorbed

bright and hot, so we must each
