IS JAPAN REALLY
liACKIM; l'KKS. HI ICKTA?
The people of France are taking
a deep iuterest iu the controversy
uuw going on between the United
States ami Mexico. That Japau is
backing Mexico in her belligerent at
titude towards the I'nited States
and that the latter country is
"afraid of Mexico" are some of the
intimations constantly finding ex
pression there.
"The Stars aud Stripes triumphed
over Spain in Cuba a few years ago"
Alcesto declared in "La Patrie", but
to lick Mexico would be a horse of
another color. Dollars don't couut;
officers aud meu are necessary and
these the I'uited States haven't got..
To think of eveu matching Mexi
co, much less conquering her, under
present conditions would be pure
folly, especially it' what is said be
true, that Japan stands back of
Mexico."
Americans living in Paris fiud It
hard to understand the attitude of
the French press ou the American
policy iu Mexico, unless they accept
the explanation given by the Mexi
can Coustirntioualists here, who as
sert that the Huerta government has
spent $300,000 to create in the new
papers anti-American articles. They
point out that Japan had the sym
pathy of Europe when she immed
iately threatened war on China be
cause three Japanese were killed at
Nanking in the clash between gov
ernment troops and rebels, yet
Americans have been insulted, kill
ed and mistreated all over a loner
period iu Mexico. Geraldo Murillo.
editor of "The Mexican Revolution"
printed iu Paris as the organ of the
Constitutionalists, told the corres
pondent: "It is only fair to say
that President Wilson has shown re
SKXP THK "ALASKAN" HOME
YOU A LOT OF ]
markable forbearance. Had Mexico
been in Europe the great powers of
the old world.would have interven
ed long ago."
Says the "Echo de Paris", one of
the most serious of the French
morning papers: "President Wil
son has declared that he is "unalter
ably opposed to any government in
Mexico irregularly established' by
ambitious politicians. Why has the
new presideut so declared himself?
His declaration really means that j
Mexico is to be turned over to an-1
archy or else is to suffer from the j
unfriendliness of the United States.
Is President Wilson merely ignorant |
of American conditions.? On the
part of his Secretary of State, M.
Bryau, all the ignorances are pos
sible.
"All hypothese are permissible,
but this is certain: All roads in the
United States lead to intervention. I
Stronger than the words of poli
ticians is an irresistable force in
clining the United States towards
the absorption of Mexico and Cen
tral America."
A "courting room", nursery, mus
ic room and largo rooms that are
turned over free of charge to girl
employees for dancing and other so
cial gatherings, are some of the fea
tures afforded to those employed at
a local overall factory iu Terre
Haute, Ind., which has just been
built there. The management has in
stalled the recreation rooms and
nursery following the adoption by the
managing directors of a unique "wel
fare program." Mothers employed
at the factory are charged five cents
a day for leaving their babies iu the
nursery whieh is in charge of com
petent professional nurses and is
equipped with every facility for the
care of the smaller kiddies who
cannot be left at home with safety.

People with kidney ills want to
be cured. When one suffers tho
tortures of an aching back, relief
is eagerly sought for. There are
many remedies today that relieve,
but not permanently. Doan's Kid
ney Pills have brought lasting
results to thousands. Here is proof
of merit from this vicinity:
F. A. Sutton, tent and awning
dealer. Room t», Capitol Hotel Bldg.,
Salem, Oregon, says: "1 had Kid
ney trouble and rheumatism for tdn
years and sometimes I was laid up.
Doctors did not holp me. Sharp pains
extended through my back and were
most severe in my kidneys and loins.
Often when working, I had to give
up. I lost weight and was in vary
poor health. I had headaches, rest
ed but little at night and did not
kuow what to do. On a friend's ad
vice I tried Doan's Kidney Pills
and to my surprise, they brought a
great improvement in a few days. I
continued to get better steadily. I
got more sleep, my appetite improv
ed and the pains gradually, but
surely left nie. After I had used
three boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills,
j I was in better health than I had J
j been for ton years and not a sign
!of kidney complaint remained. The
' cure had been permanent. I gladly
'confirm the endorsement I gave
; Doau's Kidney Pills several years
1 ago." !
