I Americans Haul Down flag; Soldiers Leave Washington, D. C Brigadier Gen eraljFuns ton's infantry and marines, numbering 6000, under orders from President Wilson, hauled down the Stars and Stripes, Monday, which have been flying over Vera Cruz since Rear Admiral Fletcher seized that port last April as an act of reprisal in retalia tion for affronts to the American flag at Tampico, after General Huerta had refused to' comply with a demand by Rear Admiral Mayo for a salute of 21 guns. It is the determination of the United States government to withdraw its forces and thereby remove a possi ble cause of international friction, as well as a potential factor that might become a domestic issue as between the two factions in Mexico. Pains have been taken that in the withdrawal no faction shall be recog nized. All elements in Mexico united in asking the American forces to evacu ate and pledged guarantees asked by Washington. General Funston had instructions simply to pack up and withdraw his men, bringing away any Mexicans who fear to remain, as well as all customs money collected during the American occupation, with copies of the port and municipal records. The $1,000,000 or more collected! will be held until a government is formally recognized. The American marines will be taken to the League Island navy yard, Phil adelphia, and the troops to their camp at Texas City. Turkish troops at Suez Canal; British Loss Heavy London Reuter's Constantinople correspondent in a dispatch sent by way of Berlin gives the following offi cial Turkish statement: 'The Turkish troops have reached the Suez Canal. In fighting near El Kantara the British suffered heavy losses and took flight." El Kantara is a port on the right bank of the canal about 25 miles south of Port Said. The Amsterdam correspondent of Reuter's Telegram company says: A heavy battle lasting nine hours occurred on November 18 along the Shat el Arab river (this river empties into the Persian gulf and forms part of the boundary between the Persian and Turkish dominions) between British and Turkish toops. The British losseB were heavy. Captured British sol diers declare that the wounded include the British commander. "One shot from the Turkish gunboat Marmaris hit a British gunboat and caused an explosion. Details are not yet available." Berlin The British authorities, af ter suppressingja riot at Port Said, at the entrance of the Suez Canal, flogged the rebels.

C, that General Blanco, in charge of Mexico City, may abandon his- post as Villa nears. Switzerland has lodged protests at London and Bordeaux against the vio lation of Swiss neutrality by British aviators, and demands satisfaction. The greatest acreage of wheat ever known will be planted the world over, is the prediction for 1915, by a Wash ington agriculture expert. A German aeroplane with two avi ators has been captured by cossacks 24 miles from Plock, Russian Poland. The airmen had dropped several bombs in Plock. Forty-one persons out of 64 on board the wrecked steamer, Hanaiei, were saved before she broke up on the rocks on the northern spur of Duxbury reef, near San Francisco. A dispatch from Lisbon says the Portuguese government has decided that Portugal should co-operate with the allies when it considers the step necessary.

The extent of the damage done is unknown. The British ships returned safe.

Russians and Turks both claim vie tory in a naval battle in the Black sea. Dr. Robert J. Burdett died at his home in Pasadena, Cal., at the age of 70 years.

Villa's army on its march to Mexico City has been joined by many garri sons from the Carranza forces. Servia is taking steps to remove the government from Nish to Uskub if it becomes necessary, according to an Athens dispatch. Extremes of suffering and privation In the trenches are obliterating caste between the German officers and men, and they aid each other indiscrimi nately. The loss of the Austrian steamer Josephine, which was blown up by an Austrian mine off Pols, it is said, will prove a serious blow to Austria, as she was one of the largest vessels en gaged In alleged contraband traffic between Venice and Trieste. The London Daily Chronicle asserts that the new war loan already has been over-subscribed and that the applica tions are still pouring in. According to the Chronicle, the amount spoken aggregates 600,000,000 ($3,000,000, 000). The total loan amounts to $1,- 750,000,000, , In the city of Trieste, Austria, 20,- 000 persons are reported to be unem ployed and appeals are being made to private charities to assist in feeding them.

Washington, D. C. Secretary Dan iels cabled to Captain Decker, of the Cruiser Tennessee, and Captain Oman, of the cruiser North Carolina, in the Eastern Mediterranean, giving them discretionary authority to deal with emergencies that might arise in pro tecting American citizens and inte rests in Turkey. Mr. Daniels' order indicates that notwithstanding any ex planation of the Turkish government, the United States has no intention of withdrawing its vessels and will keep them within easy reach of Americans in Turkish coast towns.- Sacrifices Tire Belgians. Berlin The official press bureau has given 'out the following: "Belgian fugitive officers interned in Holland declare that they got sick of sacrific ing poor Belgian soldiers to British selfishness, so they persuaded the sol diers to desert, telling them that the Belgian king did not agree with the cruel sacrifice and that the king was a slave of the English and French. Ow ing to diBsentions in the British cabi net and to differences between .King Albert and General Pau, Belgium, offi cers say, is tied hand and foot by the French and English. Rockefeller Ship in Port. London The Rockefeller Founda tion food ship which left New York November 8, with provisions for the starving Belgians, arrived at Rotter dam late Monday. Her cargo was on the way to Belgium in canal boats next day. The American Relief commission's report shows that it has delivered in Rotterdam to date 25,200 tons of food stuffs, most of which has been actually distributed in Belgium. Ships now loading or under charter with cargoes awaiting them will provide a further 68,000 tons, and 70,000 more is assured. lurks Claim Victories. Berlin The Turkish embassy made public here reports of a victory for General Liman von Sanders, the Ger man commander of the Turkish forces near Batum, Asiatic Russia, in which the Turks say they inflicted heavy losses on the enemy. Unofficial re ports from Turkey say the Ottoman troops were victorious over the Rus sians and British. The Russians are said to have been driven back farther in the Caucasus region, and are report ed to have suffered heavily in the Van district Russia Wants Steamship. Seattle, Wash. The Russian gov ernment is reported to be negotiating for purchase of the Great Northern liner Minnesota, now laid up here, the largest vessel on the Pacific Ocean. The first business of the Minnesota, if purchased by Russia, would be to carry reservists and supplies from the Pa cific Coast to Vladivostok. An ex porter has sought to charter the Min nesota to carry a grain cargo to Eng land. Extensive repairs to the Min nesota's boilers must be made before she can undertake any voyage. Pope Makes first Talk. Rome For the first time since his election Pope Benedict Tuesday de livered an address in St. Peter a. Fifty thousand people heard his holi ness speak on "Faith."

Only One Queen Left Alive In Europe Dutchmen everywhere celebrated re cently the thirty-third birthday of their Deiovea monarcn, Wllnelmina, the world's only ruling queen. Wllhel- mina was born on August 31, 1880, and ascended the throne on her eigh teenth birthday, fifteen years ago. The Dutch queen is very old-fashioned in her ideas and opinions. She has in herited warlike instincts and does not appreciate having The Hague made the "peace capital" of the world. At the last peace conference in the Dutch capital the queen remained sternly aloof, and her openly unsympathetic attitude, and especially her refusal to lay the foundation-stone of the peace temple, aroused much Indignation among the pacificists. It was only af ter long and earnest persuasion by her ministers and other rulers that Wil helmlna consented to give royal sanc tion to the ceremonies held recently at the peace palace. Queen Wilhelmina Is bitterly oppos ed to woman suffrage, partly because it runs counter to her old-fashioned notions about woman's sphere, partly because in Holland suffrage and so cialism are so closely associated. ' wiinelmlna, like her mother. Oueen Regent Emma, before her, is a stern and uncompromising teetotaler. She nas never touched a drop of liauor in any form or on any occasion, and nev er permitted wine or alcoholic bever ages in the palace until after her mar riage to Prince Henry of Mecklenburg Schwerin a dozen years ago. It is said that many three-cornered quarrels be tween the prince and his royal wife and mother-in-law disturbed the at mosphere of the royal residence be fore the queen finally submitted to her husband's wishes and permitted wine to be served to guests. The Dutch queen is one of the proud est and fondest of royal mothers. Upon little Princess Juliana, now in her fifth year, the Queen lavishes a wealth of affection, and all the hopes of Dutch monarchists are centred up on this healthy little mite of feminine humanity. The wee princess Is all that stands between royalist Holland and one or the other of two fates equally horrible to the queen the "gobbling up" of the country by Ger many or the establishment of a so cialistic republic. r IS MEALTIME j HERE, BUT NO APPETITE YOU SHOULD TRY I HOSTETTER'Si Stomach Bitters s - It tones the stomach brings back the appetite assists digestion and as similationpromotes liv er and bowel activity prevents Bloating, Heart burn, Indigestion, Bili ousness and Malaria.

That the great war in Europe will perhaps lead to the establishment in the United States of one or more dis tributing centers for the drug products of the entire world, as well as it will tend to encourage the manufacture In this country of many of the drugs now imported, is the belief of Dr. Martin I. WilbeTt, of the Division of Pharma cology of the United States Public Health Service. Virtually all of the great drug mar kets of the world are in the war zone, ano scocKs on nana in the foreign ports are not available for export ei ther because of blockade or because the local governments have prohibited the exporting of drugs. The depen dence of the people of the United States on Europe for most of the drugB used in this country is emphasized by the unprecedented increase in the price of some of the more widely used drugs and the practical exhaustion for the time being of some of the more important articles which are made or conrolled by the European countries now at war. In a report on the situa tion which Dr. Wllbert has made for Surgeon-General Rupert Blue, of the Federal Public Health Service, he says: "There Is an urgent need for estab lishing for ourselves and for the Amer ican continent generally a distributing center for the drug products of the world. Outside of the trade few peo ple or mis country are aware of the fact that by far the greater number of drugs sold in the different countries of the world are marketed through London. Hamburg or Trieste. A few drugs like the products of the Dutch colonies are marketed through Am sterdam, and some of the drug pro ducts of Turkey and western Asia come to this country directly from Constantinople or Smyrna. The bulk of the drugs used in this country, how ever, even Including those of Ameri can origin, are distributed from the great drug markets of the world cen tered in the cities ot Hamburg. Trieste and London." . I tizzi Skin Trouble Readily Overcome The Active Principle of a Famous Remedy Works Wonders. a "i"?
