New Movement Launched Putting

Americans and Mexicans Co-operate
for Better Understanding.
By CHAHLHS H. NBWKLL,
Hdltor of tlio DuIIiib IJIspatith.
P1KDKA3 NKGItAS, Coahulla,
Mox. May .'10. KulscrlHni In on tlio
dofonsivo In Mexico today. Ameri
can diplomacy Is defeating (iurman
kultur.
Strong pro-ally propaganda has
been quietly launched on both aides
of tlio border by Mexicans, with the
full consent and approval of Carran
za. '
A declaration of war by Mexico
against Oormuny may ho expected
within a few weeks six months at
the most.
Tlio only alternative apparent to
day Is another revolution by which
President Carranza will be deposed
by Mexican factions cagur to trade
Mexican participation with tlio allies
for allied support of an anti-Carran-za
rovolt.
Three Main KleincntA.
None of Carranzu's friends along
the border bellovo ho will dodgo a
dlclslvo stand.
' Thoro aro thoso three elements:
First The Carranza governmental
faction, which will aim to preserve
ItB power in tho way thut seems most
nil ro.
8ocond The pro-Gormnn element
that Ignorantly IuiIoh nnd mistrusts
America, and that seeks to control
Carranza.
Third Tho pro-ally sympathizers,
now gaining strength, who are lute In
tlio Mold but aro fast gaining ground.
To tlio pro-ally diplomatic drive
to which 1 am permitted to glvo the
first national publicity with official
consent Is attributed the interna
tionally signiricant nnd happy shift
In Mexican-American rolaltuns which
lias takon place in the last few weeks.
I'ro-illly propaganda has tlio fol
lowing purposes, which its sponsors
frankly statu: -
JYo-Ally Alias.
First Completo suppression In
Alexlco of German spy and propagiin
da work.
Second, full eo-oparntlon between
Mexican and American troops all
along tho border in stopping nil ban
dlt raiding that has proved such i
recent source of grnvo International
Irritation at a time when America is
concentrating nil bur power against
Gnrmnny abroad.
Third. Prompt nnd full supproR-
tdon of antl-Curraiizn revolutionary
Junlu activity In the I'nili'.l States.
Fourth Mutual trade agreement
and resumption of exchange of lilui-
and materials between Mexico and
tlio United .Stales.
Fifth Humiliation of German of
fice from advisory posit tuns in the
lexlcnn army.
Sixth Kapld crystnllutlon of sen
tlmnnt among friends of constitution
al government In Mexlco-both In
nnd out of office for a flat declara
tion of war on the central empires.
Seventh I' It I main rehabilitation
of the rich republic of Mexico Willi
the co-operation, belli financial nnd
military, and under th; nlisol .le pro
tection of the allies.
Wilson Av.l.
This. In Its large phases, is the sit
uation In Mexico and along the bor
der today, as 1 have learned from of
ficial sources tif unquestionable au
thority on both sides of the lilo
Grande.
Successful consummation of these
ambitious plans of the renl friends of
Mexican Independence nnd democ
racy, they admit, depends largely up.
on the measure of co-operation ex
tended liy the l ulled Slates and her
allies.
I am in a poaiton to know that
this co-operation lias been cordially
extended by the Wilson administra
tion, and that the llrltlsli are fully
in accord Willi the program.
The greatest obstacle confronting
this program Is iKllorance-in Mexl
to and the (tilted States.
Wilson Appeals to People to Save
Materials and. Labor for Necessary
War Purposes Buy Only Essen
tials for Health and Efficiency
Invest In Thrift Stamps.
WASHINGTON-, May 30. To suve
materials and labor for nocessury
war purposes. President Wilson to
day appealed to Americans "to buy
only those things which are essen
tial to tlio Individual Ilea I Hi and ef
ficiency," and to volunteer on or be-
foro Juno 2K, national thrift day, to
Invest systematically in war savings
and thrift stamps or other govern
ment securities.
War of Nations.
"This war Is ono of nations not
of iirmlea," said tho president, "and
nil of our one hundred million peoplo
must bo economically and efficiently
adjusted to war conditions, If this
nation is to play Its full part in tho
conflict. The problem before ub is
not primarily a financial problem,
but rather a problem of increased
production of war essentials and tho
saving of tho materials and the labor
necessary for tho suport and equip
ment of our army and navy.-Thoughtless
oxpcndltiiro of money fornon-cs-
seutlals uses up tho labor of men, tho
products of the fnrm, mines and fac
tories, nnd overburdens transporta

tho utmost and at their best for war
purposes.
Make Thrift lOffoils.
'Tho groat results which wo seek
call bo obtained only by the partici
pation of every member of tho nation,
young nnd old, In a national concert

The conviction, which Was for the

Grace Lusk was found guilty hero

for the killing of Mrs. Mary Newman

When tho verdict was delivered

was overpowered and led screaming
from tho courtroom.
"It's a lie! It's a lio against mo!

BOMBARDING PARIS
T
The photographer who sends us this strange snapshot confesses
that he la mystified, lie has been snapping murder trial principals for
a good many years, but never with any such result as the above picture
of Miss Grace Lusk, on trial at Waukesha, Wis., for killing the wife of
Dr. George Roberts, a horse doctor with whom she was infatuated. This
picture was snapped when Miss Luisk and the two attorneys were going
from tho jail to the courtroom. What they're laughing at is beyond
the photographer. Ho docs know that the accepted form In such casc3
Is quite different It Is to hldo tho fnco or attempt to smash tho cam
era or the photographer., or both.'
Conservation of time and, foods
are two of the main things that will
win tho war. The government, Is
giving perhaps more attention' to
these features than to any others for
our soldiers must be suplled at any
event.
Any foods wasted are a loss to the
world and yet we find those who ig
nore the demands made because they
do not realize the importance of the
question. ' , ,.
The matter of conservation of time
perhaps Is a subject that has received
littlo or no attention by peoples at
large. Hours are as valuable as Is )
food and when an individual does not
invest In time to the upbuilding of
the world's needs that Individual Is a
slacker In the same sense as the one
- who does not conserve food.
There Is a movement thruout the
country to condense business, both
wholesale and retail, into a shorter
period, thus allowing more time for
other lines of service. Dy planning
all shopping could be done in perhaps
one-half of the time now consumed
for this purpose however there is
no Intention of working any hardship
on the buying public in urging short-1
er snopping nours.
One hour cut from the regular busi- J
ness day would mean millions of
hours saved and turned loose for pa
triotic services.
It is believed that the citizens of
Jackson county will endeavor to have
such conditons brought about and co
operate with the patriotic stores who
are endeavoring to put such action
Into effect. '
Stores of Mcdford will begin clos
ing at 5 p. m. all days except Satur
day, vhlch closing hour will be 8:30.
Plan your shopping hours accord
ingly and you will bo giving your
country a service which valo can not
be estimated.
