The Elate Department today protested to General Carranaa. asainst certain alleged n cendiary statements- made in Mexico Cttv bv General Obreson regarding the food situation there. Although Gen eral Obreston made public announce ment that he would withdraw his troops at the first siprns of hunger riots State Department advices today said he hud declined aid from an international re lief committee. The .situation In Mexico City is t- tributed to the closing of government offices, the suspension of industry, the Isolation of the capital from the ut lytne country and the sending of -food supplies to Vera Cruz. Obrrtcua'a Threat Reported. Stale Department reports were sum Diarized in this announcement: "The department was advised that en March 2 the press of Mexico City published another statement from Gen eral Obregon. as follows: 'At the first attempt at riot I will leave tho city at the head of my troops. In order that they may not tire a sin gle shot against the liunsrry multitudes, as the merchants did not accept the in vitation which was made to them t assist tho -people and prevent violence. This statement appears to be com pletely at variance with the depart ment's advices from Mexico City con cerning the relief work recently insti tuted. It Is said that the interna tional Telicf committee has taken up -work with considerable enerjey and Uiat It has met with a hearty response on the part of the foreigners in prneral. The banks alone have subscribed 123, 900 pesos. Offer of id Rejected. The press of Mexico City say that on March 1 a member of the relief com mittee approached ObrcRon to ask that certain facilities be given the commit tee in the way of railroad transporta tion to brins In the much-'needed staple articles and his answer was that "the Mexican people, did not require any help from foreigners.' anil consequent ly tho committee's roiucst was tunned down. "It Is reported that as far as can be Judged the present conditions in Mex ico have been brought about by the closing of all governmental offices, shutting down of public works, cutting off railway traffic in all directions (which prevented the bringing in of supplies needed by factories that have laid oft all their men), by not letting Ftaple articles tlnd their way Into the city and, finally, by the transportation to Vera Cru of the food supplies of Mexico City. The -department has given instruc tions that the attoiiUon of General C'arranxa. be called to the seriousness of having such Incendiary statements as the one quoted appearing in the lress."

INN DEFRAUDER SENTENCED Man Arrested Second Time Is Sen tenced to 75 Days. W. It Freeman, who wis convicted of swindling several hotels hiet July, did not fare lightly yesterday when he was brought before Municipal Judge Stevenson on a similar charge. He was sentenced to 73 days' Imprisonment, though the offense for which he had been arrested was not, in itself, an ag gravated one. Freeman's description was recognized by Deputy District At torney Deich when the complaint was sworn out Tuesday, and a visit to the Bertillon room proved It to be the same man that had appeared before.

EFFECT OF WAR IS TELLING ON LDNDDN Disappearance of Soldiers From Streets Indicates Troops Are Moving. YOUNG MEN ARE MISSING Observer, Says Will Irwin, Begins to Believe Army at Front Is Larger Than Autliorities at Home Let Feople Know. V (Continued From First Page.) A band of bagpipers skirled for a quarter of an hour, and his escort of deep-chested, six-foot young colo nials cheered Until they shook the sky lights of Euston Station. Lack of Discipline Charged. London. I take it. is in two minds about these exuberant children of the empire. The Londoner doesn't know whether to indulge them or to be shocked by them. Some have expressed the opinion that when these amazing Canadians get to the line they'll ruin all discipline; and most of the humor ous cafe tales of the day center round their performances. A Canadian passed an Engish officer: he took no notice of the uniform. The officer, being a stickler, stopped him. "My man. what do you do when you pass one of your own officers?" he asked. "Slap him on the back and ask him in for a drink." said the Canadian. This dialogue, overheard by night at the gates of a camp, is reported: "Who goes there?" "Manchester regiment." "Pass, Manchester." "Who goes there?" "Royal Artillery." "Pass, artillery." "Who goes there?" "do to hell!" "Pass, Canadian." Trip to Line Quickly Made. It's near, very near, nevertheless this war. I came night before last upon an officer having a drink before dinner at a cafe where Americans most congregate. "When I left the lino this morning." he was saying. He had, in fact, risen at daybreak from his billet under tho guns, got down by automobile and train to the base town on the French coast and so across the Channel and home. I parted after breakfast this morning with another officer. To night as I sit here writing ho is doubt less in tho thick of that fighting which docs not stop because it is nlghU That one-day trip to and from thn lines is tiro regular thing.

There's something different in their manner, something which shows that they have entered a new and special world of thought and feeling. Danger Becomes Incidental.

' Luxuries Are Cheapest Food. The economic state of England, as one gets manifestations of it here and there, appears curious. One gets it only by little signs. Over that, as over everything else, hangs the fog of war. America must know already that the rise in the price of staple foods has be come a subject of Parliamentary in quiry. On the other hand, food luxuries as ever since the beginning of the war. . i in nrice.

The English tradesmen, however, is sitting tight, secure in the faith that the war will soon be over and that prices will return to their old level with the coming of better times. So far as my superficial observation goes, the retrenchment among all classes, the tendency to spend only on necessities, has not brought down tho price of un perishable luxuries.

Sec retary Garrison made public tho fol lowing extracts from General Wood's letter: "No one at these headnuarters has. or lias had, any official conenction with the American Legion, so-called, of which I sent you the details in my letter of February 2T. inclosing with it the circular relating to it.

I believe that a number of them have joined. Mr. Koosevelt has never communicated with me concern ing it directly or indirectly. "Mv connection is limited wlioly to an interview two or three weeks ago with two gentlemen who were the founders of the movement, one a for mer officer of volunteers in the Army and the other an editor of on of the Kidgwav magazines. Their idea was to build up throughout the country a list of men who had qualifications or training to make them useful in a mili tary wav, in case a reserve should ever be established under legislative enact ment which would make a reserve pos sible or. in ase a reserve should not fee established, to have a list which In case of necessity would be useful to the Government, as it would give the addresses, names and qualifications of a large number of men.

"It has no conection with the Army up to the present time, other than as I have staed to you. Johnson's activi ties in conenction with it have been purelv unofficial. Ho simply aided them" with suggestions concerning their list of special qualifications and talked the matter of the organization over with them. He appreciated fully the fact that he cannot take any offi cial posiion in the organization of this sort. He has tried to steer them into a line of procedure which would fit in with the War Department plans. This has been purely in an unofficial and personal way."

A person suffering with backarhe, muscular pains, diray spells, headache, nervousness, sleeplessness, disordered urination and other si;ns of kidney weakness should help the kidneys im mediately with a good medicine; but should also quit doing the things that hurt the kidneys. Act promptly, for neglected kidney weakness leads to uric acid poisoning, rheumatism, gravel, dropsy and fatal Bright's disease. There Is no other medicine for sick kidneys so well known, so generally used or so highly recommended as Doan's Kidney Pills. The patient should help the medicine, however, by care as to diet, regular habits and avoidance of over-work and worry. Avoid meat, alcoholic drinks and excesses of any kind.' Nature will then assist in bringing a quick cure. Portland Proof: Anton Spreitzer. grocer, 407 N. 24th St., Portland, says: "The endorsement I gave Doan's Kidney Pills some years ago still holds good and I willingly confirm it now.
