Mexican Ambassador Presents Formal
Pretest from Carranza Government.
Immediate Withdrawal of Troops is
Requested.
Washington. Aug. 21.—Immediate
withdrawal of the American troops
now on the trail of bandits in northern
MwYipn wan asked today by Mexican
J
k
Ambassador Bonillas, who called at
the state department to present a
formal protest from the Carranza gov
ernment. The text of the protest was
not made public and officials would
not discuss it further than to say
that no reply had been made.
P
that no additional reports on the oper
ations of the American forces had been
received from Major General Dickman,
commanding the southern department.
The troops now are well into Mexico
and army officers hope that before re
turning they will clean out bandits
from the Stretch of territory twenty
miles south of the border where they
are operating.
Whether a reply to the Mexican pro
test will be sent has not been an
nounced. Such protests have been
made hretofore, without drawing a re
sponse, officials regarding them as
having been submitted larkely for the

present strained relations between
Mexico and the United States. ,
The Universal is quoted as saying
that official opinion in Mexico demands
a complete change in the cabinet.
"Undoubtedly the key to the difficul-
tie/i lies in Article 27 of the constitu
tion as it affects petroleum,” the paper
says. "This fact must be faced square-
ly and patriotically.”
The paper then expresses TfissaTHT
faction because the house is wasting
time discussing the labor law “which
must and win be vetoed because of the
wild radicalism it contains,” and adds:

Mexico on h “hot trail” seeking the
bandits who held the American army

for ransom and it was indicated today
the Mexican protest would not hasten
their withdrawal.

will be handled in the same way as
any actual inspection.

DANGER OF COAL FAMINE
Paris.—Herbert Hoover, who has
Just returned to Paris after a busy
visit to central Europe and Silesia,
has laid before the supreme council
the impression made upon him by the
Journey. His conclusion after a close
study of the problems is that unless
the very widest, almost autocratic pow
ers be given in dealing with the coal
situation in Silesia, nothing can save
Europe from a crisis which will show
itself both economically.jmd political

To Our Customers and Friends:-
You, mothers and fathers, know, how hard child
ren are on shoes and yet, very often, the child is blam
ed for wearing out the shoes too quickly when the
shoes themselves are really too poor to stand the wear
an active child will give them.
You would not spend your money for some shoes if
you could cut them open and see what is i.nside of them.
A solid leather shoe, if properly made, wears longer,
holds its shape longer and, in every way, is a better
shoe than one in which substitutes for leather are used.
Do not buy shoes without having an opportunity to see
the shoes themselves, and then study their quality and
construction. When you buy ''Star Brand’’ shoes from
us, you not only see the shoes but you can also see a
shoe that has been cut open.
