REBELS PRACTICALLY CONTROL MEXICO
PRESIDENT WILSON, IN MESSAGE TO CONGREBS DECLARES FED
ERAL ARMY IS HELPLESS BEFORE ONSLAUGHTS OF ENEMIES,
AND GOVERNMENT HAS FAILED TO MAKE GOOD PROMISES
FOR PEACE.
Washington, Aug. 27. President
Wilson in person addressed Congress
today on the Mexican situation as fol
lows:
“Gentlemen of the Congress: It is
clearly my duty to lay before you
very fully and without reservation the
facts concerning our present relations
with the Republic of Mexico. The de
plorable posture of affairs In Mexico
I need not describe, but I deem it my
duty to speak very frankly of what
this government has done and should
seek to do in fulfillment of its obli
gation to Mexico hereafter, as a friend
and neighbor, and to American citi
zens whose lives and vital interests
are daily affected by the distressing
conditions which now obtain beyond
our thouthern border.
"These conditions touch us very
nearly. Not merely because they lie
pf our very door. That, of course,
_n<kea. us more vividly and more con
stantly conscious of them, and every
instinct of neighborly -interest and
sympathy is aroused and quickened
by them; but that is only one ele
ment in the determination of our
duty.
“We are glad to call ourselves the
friends of Mexico, and we shall, 1 hope,
have an occasion, in happier times as
well as in these days of trouble and
confusion, to show that our friend
ship is genuine and disinterested,
capable of sacrifice and every gener
ous manifestation.
"The peace, prosperity and content
ment of Mexico mean more, much
more, to us than merely an enlarged
field for our commerce and enterprise.
They mean an enlargement of the
field of selfgovernment and the reali
zation of the hopes and rights of a na
tion with whose best aspirations, so
long suppressed and disappointed, wo
deeply sympathize.
"We shall yet prove to the Mexican
people that we know how to serve
(hem without first thinking how we
shall serve ourselves.
"But we are not the only friends
of Mexico. The whole world desires
her peace and progress; and the
whole world is interested as never be
fore. Mexioo lies at last where all
the world looks on. Central America
is about to be touched by the great
rolitcs of the world's trade and inter
course running free from ocean to
ocean ud the isthmus.
“The future has much in store for
Mexioo. ub for all the states of Cen
tral America; but the best gifts can
come to her only if she be ready and
free to receive them and to enjoy them
honorably. America in particular—
America Nortn and South, and on both
continents —waits on the development
of Mexico; and that development can
be sound and lasting only if it be the
product of a genuine freedom, a just
and ordered government, founded on
law. Only so can it be peaceful or
fruitful of the benefits of peace. Mex
ico has a great and enviable future
before her if only she choose and at
tain the paths of honest constitutional
government.
"The present circumstances of the
republic, I deeply regret to say, do
not seem to promise even the foun
drtfcjiis of such a peace. We have
waited many months, months full of
peril and anxiety, for the conditions
there to improve, and they have not
Improved. They have grown worse,
rather. The territory in some sort
controlled by the provisional authori
ties at Mexico City has grown smaller,
not larger.
“The prospect of the pacification of
the country, even by arms, has seemed'
to grow more and moro remote and its
pacification by the authorities at the
capital is ovidently impossible by any
other means than force. Difficulties
more and more entangle these who
claim to constitute the legitimate gov
ernment of the republic. They have
not made good their claim in fact.
Their successe in the field have
proved only temporary.
"War and disorder, devastation and
confusion seem to threaten to be
come tbe settled fortune of the dis
tracted country. As friends we could
wait no longer for a solution which
every week seemed further away. It
was our duty at least to volunteer our
good offices —to offer to assist, if we
might, in effecting some arrangement
which would bring relief and peace
and set up a universally acknowledged
political authority there.
"Accordingly, I took the liberty of
sending the Honorable John Lind, for
merly governor of Minnesota, as my
personal spokesman and representa
tive, to the City of Mexico, with the
following instructions:
"Press very earnestly on the atten
tion of those who are now exercising
'Authority or wielding influence in
Mexico the following consideration
and advice:
"The government of the United
States does' not feel at liberty any
longer to stand Inactively by while it
becomes dally more and more evident
that no real progress Is being made
toward the establishment ot a govern
ment at the City of Mexico which the
country will obey and respect.
“The government of the United
States does not stand In the same
case with the other great governments
of the world In respect to what Is
happening or what Is likely to hap
pen In Mexico. We offer our good of
fices not only because of our genuine
desire to play the part of a friend,
but also because we are expected by
the powers of the world to act as
Mexico’s nearest friend.
“We wish to act In these circum
stances In the spirit of the most earn
est and disinterested friendship. It
is our purpose In whatever we do or
propose In this perplexing and dis
tressing situation not only to pay the
most scrupulous regard to the sov
ereignty and independence ot Mexico
—that we take as a matter of course
to which we are bound by every obli
gation of right and honor —but also to
give every possible evidence that we
act in the interest of Mexico alone,
and not In the Interest of any person
or body of persons who may have per
sonal or property claims In Mexico
which they may feel that they have the
right to press.
“ We are seeking to counsel Mexi
co for her own good and in the Inter
est of her own peace, and not for any
other purpose whatever. The govern
ment of the United States would
deem Itself discredited it it had any
selifsh or ulterior purpose In transac
tions where the peace, happiness and
prosperity of a whole people are in
volved. It is acting as Its friendship
for Mexico, not as any selfish interest,
dictates.
"The present situation In Mexico Is
Incompatible with the fulfillment of
International obligations on the part
of Mexico, with the civilized develop
ment of Mexico herself and with the
maintenance of tolerable political and
economic conditions In Central Amer
ica. It Is upon no common occasion,
therefore, that the United States offers
her counsel and assistance. All Amer
ica cries out for a settlement.
“A satisfactory settlement seems to
us to be conditioned on—
“(A) —An immediate cessation of
fighting throughout Mexico. A definite
armistice solemnly entered into and
scrupulously observed;
“(B) —Security given for an early
and free election in which all will
agree to take part;
“(C) —The consent of General Huer
ta to bind himself not to be a candi
date for election as president of the
republic at this election; and
“(D) —The agreement of all parties
to abldo by the results of the election
and co-operate in the mo3t loyal way
in organizing and supporting the new
administration.
“The government of the United
States would be glad to play any part
in this settlement or in its carrying
out which it can play honorably and
consistently with international right.
It pledges itself to recognize and In
every way possible and proper to as
sist the administration chosen and set
up in Mexico in the way and on the
conditions suggested.
"Taking all the existing conditions
into consideration, the government of
the United States can conceive of no
reasons sufficient to justify those who
are now attempting to shape the policy
or exercise the authority of Mexico In
declining the offices ot friendship thus
offered. Can Mexico give the civil
ized world a satisfactory reason for
rejecting our good offices? If Mexico
can suggest any better way in which
to show our friendship, serve the peo
ple of Mexico and meet our interna
tional obligations, we aro more than
willing to consider the suggestion.
"Mr. Lind executed his delicate and
difficult mission with singular tact,
firmness and good judgment, and
made clear to the authorities at the
City of Mexico not only the purpose of
his visit, but also the spirit In which
it had been undertaken. But the pro
posals he submitted were rejected, In
a note the full text of which I take
the liberty of laying before you.
“I am led to believe that they were
rejected partly because the author
ities at Mexico City had been grossly
misinformed and misled on two points.
They did not realize the spirit of the
American people in this matter, their
earnest friendliness and yet sober de
termination fbr some just solution for
the Mexican difficulties; and they did
not believe that the present adminis
tration spoke, through Mr. Lind, for
the people of the United States.
“The effect of this unfortunate mis
understanding on their part is to
leave them singularly isolated and
without friends who can effectually
aid them. So long as the misunder
standing continues we can only await
the time of their awakening to area
llzatlon of the actual facts.

When completed, the new plant of
the Calumet Baking Powder Company,

Biveness which have rendered possi
ble the tremendous growth of one of
Chicago's most prominent Industrial
Institutions.

coat'of which Is $250,000, Is a strictly
modern five-story and basement, fire
proof, re-enforoed concrete building.

PLAN FOR TUBERCULOSIS DAY
December 7 Set Apart as Period of
Special Effort In the Combating
of the White Plague.
Churches, schools, labor unions,
fraternal orders and other organiza
tions to the number of 200,000 at least
will be asked to join the anti-tubercu
losis workers of the country in the
observance of the Fourth National
Tuberculosis day, which has been des
ignated for December 7, according to
an announcement Issued by the Na
tional Association of the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis.
The movement will be furthered
throughout the country by more than
1,000 ahtl-tuberculosls societies work
ing through various state organiza
tions and the National association.
Personal appeals will be made to
clergymen, school principals and lead
ers of various organizations urging
them to set aside a definite time dur
ing the week preceding or the week
following December 7, for the lecture
on tuberculosis.
Last year over 60,000 churches gave
attention to this subject on Tubercu
losis day. It Is hoped this year to
swell the number of churches to 100,-
000 and to urge similar action be
sides In a large number of schools
and other societies. The Tuberculosis
day campaign will come this year dur
ing the Red Cross Christmas seal sale.
It is planned to urge the churches of
the country to take a definite part in
this movement.
LIGHT BREAKS IN
Thoughtful Farmer Learns About
Coffee.
Many people exist In a more or less
hazy condition and it often takes years
before they realize that tea and cof
fee are often the cause of the cloudi
ness, and that there is a simple way
to let the light break in.
A worthy farmer had such an exper
ience and tells about it, in a letter. He
says:
"For about forty years, I have had
indigestion and stomach trouble in
various forms. During the last 25
years I would not more than get over
one spell of bilious colie until another
would be upon me.
“The best doctors I could get and
all the medicines I could buy, only
gave me temporary relief.
"Change of climate was tried with
out results. I could not sleep nights,
had rheumatism and my heart would
palpitate at times so that it seemed
it would jump out of my body.
"I came to the conclusion that there
was no relief for me and that I was
about wound up, when I saw a Postum
advertisement. I had always been a
coffee drinker, and got an idea from
the ad. that maybe coffee was the
cause of my trouble.
"I began to use Postum Instead of
cofTee and In less than three weeks I
felt like a new man. The rheumatism
left me, and I have never had a spell
of bilious colic since.
"My appetite is good, my digestion
never was better and I can do more
work than before for 40 years.
"I haven’t tasted coffee since I be
gan with Postum. My wife makeß it
according to directions and I relish it
as well as I ever did coffee, and I was
certainly a slave to coffee.”

Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum —must be well boiled.
Instant Postum is a soluble powder.
A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in a
cup of hot water and, with the addi
tion of cream and sugar, makes a de
licious beverage Instantly.

His Bust.
Daniel C. French, the sculptor who
was commissioned to make the bust
of Ralph Waldo Emerson which Is
now In Memorial hall, Harvard uni
versity, tells this story:
“At one of the sittings Mr. Emer
son rose suddenly and walked over
to where the sculptor was working.
He looked long and earnestly at
the bust, and then, with an Inim
itably droll expression, he said:
"The trouble is the more It re
sembles me the worse It looks.”
