NElTRillIY FOR MEXICO
CARKAXZA 1>EC1 iA RES AMERICANS
OPPOSED TO WAR
Says United States Ready to Secrifice
Everything But Their Own
Countrymen.
El Paso. Texas, Nov. IS.?"North
America does not need our passive
alliance. North America needs only
our quota of soldiers, as its men are
not going to war singing the 'Marseillaise'
but sorrowfully singing 'Home,
Sweet Home."
The foregoing is the opening sentence
of a manifesto signed by Gen.
Francisco Murguia, commander of
the Carranza army in Northern Mexico,
hundreds of copies of which have
been distributed in Juarez.
"It would be the limit of childishness,"
the manifesto says, "to believe
that our joining the Entente would
result in our indebtedness to those
nations being forgiven.
Stands for Neutrality.
"I stand for neutrality. I do not
believe that we Mexicans are under
obligation to support the cause of
either of the fighting parties.
"Let us abandon the idea of giving
the Entente our moral support.
America does not need our moral
support, nor our passive influence.
Amp.rira fines not need, as a matter of
help, our oil, our ores, nor our henequin.
These they can obtain by trade
and should we dare refuse them they
would take them by the right granted
to a country in war. What North
America needs is our men.
Sparing Their Own.
"The United States have only been
able to send 10 per cent, of the
forces they promised to send to
Europe. To this end they have enlisted
the negroes, the aliens, and?
most sorrowful?the Mexicans. They
know they will have to sacrifice a lot
of lives and it is clear that they wish
to sacrifice everybody but their own
countrymen.
"The national feeling of Americans
is opposed to the war. The anti-war
propaganda in America has reached
the hearts of the people. If we shake
off our apathy, forget our hatreds,
consolidate our forces, exert all our
effort, Mexico's neutrality will be respected.
"We do not expect anything from
Germany, nor we ask any favors of
that nation, but far less could be expected
from the United States. Let
this be our attitude toward the rest
of the world. We need one hundred
thousand soldiers for our own use."
1776, 1812, 1861.
Trials of Commanders in Three of
Onr Biff Wars.
It would be a good thing to read
some of Washington's letters on July
Fourth and see the way his great
heart was made to bleed by the utter
failure of support either from the
army or from the people for which
he fought.
To be sure 350.000 men enlisted
for service in the American Revolution
at one time or another to fight
an English force that was never more
than one-third as large.
?sut tney lougnt lor a rew weens
and became tired and went home.
They were ill clothed, ill fed, ill supplied
with ammunition.
And of that 350,000 Washington
was almost never able to muster more
than 20,000 for effective service at
one time; and the capture of Trenton
was made with only 4,000.
Time after time he prepared for
operations which might have won
decisive victories and shortened the
war. And he could not carry them
out because the people who ought to
have stood behind him did nqt prepare
for a hard-fought, long-continued
war and could not give him
support.
Few chapters in all history are
more depressing than the story or the
war of 1812. Not one single important
battle was won by the American
for- es on land.
At Blandensburg the American military
behind breastworks, fled at the
f rst vo'ly from a little force of British
re^ulTs not one-third their number.
And the British marched across
the bridge and burned the capitol.
"We are coming, Father Abraham,"
sang the men of 1861; but
Iinceln, waiting day after day in
VrasMng'cn, cried out in agony of
he^rt: "My God, will they never
eome?"
And w hen they did come it was to
march to ignominous defeat at Bull
Run.
The^ were untrained boys who had
enlisted for 90 days. The war was to
te quicbly over: no one thought it
wo"!d be a long war. And because no
ore thought it would last long it
dragged itser out for four years,

KERENSKY MKT UTTER DEFEAT.
Correspondent Surprised at Great
Number of Aristocrats.
Petrograd. Wednesday, Nov. 14.?
! The battle in which Premier Kerensky
was defeated began last Saturday
and continued until Monday night,
according to the commander-in-chief
of the Bolsheviki staff. The premier
had 5,000 Cossacks and several hundred
military cadets with consider'
able artillery. The Maximalists' force
included four guard regiments, several
battalions of sailors and nu
merous detachment? of the red
guard.
Many of the Bolsheviki soldiers
were wounded and a few were killed.
The Cossacks in Kerensky's forces
once attempted to charge near Tsarkoe-Selo,
but suffered heavy losses,
after which they retired into the
town. The Maximalists now hold
Tsarkoe-Selo.
Aristocratic Officers.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press visited the scene of the
fighting today and was surprised to
find aristocratic officers commanding
the Bolseviki.
A colonel of one of the famous
Petrograd guard regiments is now
commander of the Bolsheviki staff.
Describing the fight, he said:
"The battle began Saturday and
continued until Monday night. Our
forces were under a continuous shell
fire and many were wounded. Only
a few were killed. At one time a
squadron of Kerensky's Cossacks attempted
a charge near Tsarkoe-Selo.
A volley caused them heavy losses.
This was the last active attempt of
tli? Kerensky forces to attack and
afterward they retreated, we now
hold Tsarkoe-Selo."
Promised Reinforcements.
One soldier who had been captured
by the Cossacks and had escaped to
his own lines told the correspondent
that Kerenskv's Cossacks had determined
to surrender unless he was able
to reinforce them with 60,000 troops.
The premier, the soldier said, promised
to get them.
The correspondent made a tour of
the battlefield in a Petrograd droshky
whose driver calmly directed his fat
horse over the military road. The
droshky passed numerous sentries unquestioned,
the soldiers apparently
considering the ludicrous conveyance
of the correspondent above suspicion.
A constant stream of ambulances discharged
their cargo of wounded at
hospitals along the road just outside
the city.
Old Theory Made New.
Taking up an old theory of meteors,
Emile Belct, French astronomer,
has attempted to demonstrate that
these bodies may have resulted from
volcanic eruptions on the moon and
other satellites of the solar system's
planets. He finds that an initial velocity
of projection comparable to
that which has been observed in the
eruption of Cotopaxi and only twice
as great as that developed in artillery
of the present war would be sufficient
to carry a body free from the
moon, and he has made calculations
of the speed of projection and other
conditions that would cause such a
body to become a satellite of the
moon, of the earth, or of the sun.
TIME OF YEAR WHEN
WE AU_NEED TONIC
Fifty Cents Worth of Acid Iron Mineral,
Concentrated, Cheapest
and Best
ALL DRUGGISTS HAVE IT.
Anameic, run down, nervous men
and women, past twenty-five will find
the most economical tonic and medicine
for the blood to be just ordinary
medicinal iron, highly concentrated.
It is not only most economical but
strong, a half teaspoonful in a glass
of water being the usual dose.
Any druggist has Acid Iron Mineral
and a fifty-cent or dollar bottle of
Acid Iron Mineral will go from two
to ten times as far as other weaker
iron preparations.
In buying Acid Iron Mineral concentrated,
the user should remember
that it is just a natural highly concentrated
product and therefore contains
no cathartics or laxatives to upset
and stimulate the bowels as so
many preparations do.
We all need more or less iron this
time of year to enrich the blood.
Auotlier advantage of this natural
ic that it hplns diffPKtion and
appetite and the kidneys show its
effects quickly.
If skin is pimply, sallow, and pallid,
and blood is full of uric acid and
other poisons which cause so much
pain, rheumatism, etc., the reader
should mix a teaspoonful of Acid Iron
Mineral in a glass of water after
each meal for a short while.
Acid Iron Mineral is sold here by
Mack's Drug Store, J. B. Black, Druggist;
Fordham's Pharmacy; Doyle's;
Lowman Drug Co.; Dr. D. Moorer;
Dr. H. D. Rowe; Dr. J. G. Wannamaker

Exerts Himself to Rring His Son to
Greenwood to Go to Anny.
George .Moore, of Cokesbury, was
here Thursday, having come down
with his son. Douglas .Moore, who rej
ported to be sent to the colors. While
j here George Moore handed the Index
the following:
To the Index:?Please allow me
space to say a few words in your
paper. My boy, Douglas Moore, was
drafted for service in the army. He
was out of the State, in the North,
when the call was made. After much
trouble I succeeded in getting him
j hojne and now he is ready and wilI
ling to die in defense of his country.
A white man of Hodges, who knew
about what I had done, canea me a
fool and abused me for sending for
my son, but I told him that negroes
were as loyal and patriotic as white
people. Very respectfully,
GEORGE MOORE.

COULD HARDLY
STAND ALONE
Terrible Suffering From Headache,
Sideache, Backache, and Weakness,
Relieved by Cardoi,
Says This Texas Lady.
\
Gonzales, Tex.-? Mrs. Minnie Philpot,
of this place, writes: "Five years
ago I was taken with a pain in my
left side. It was right under my
left rib. It would commence with an
aching and extend up into my left
shoulder and on down into my back.
By that time the pain would be so
severe I would have to take to bed,
and suffered usually about three days
.. .1 suffered this way for three years,
and got to be a mere skeleton and was
so weak I could hardly stand alone.
Was not able to, go anywhere and had
to let my house work go...I suffered
awful with a pain in my back and I
had the headache all the time. I just
was unable to do a thing. My life
was a misery, my stomach got in an
awful condition, caused from taking
so much medicine. I suffered so much
pain. I had just about given up all
hopes of our getting anything to help
me.
One day a Birthday Almanac was
thrown in my yard. After reading
its testimonials I decided to try Car<^ui,
and am so thankful that I did,
for I began to improve when on the
cprrmrt bottle I am now a well
woman and feeling fine and the cure
has been permanent for it has been
two years since my awful bad health.
I will always praise and recommend
Cardui." Try Cardui today. E 78

The public statement of a local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, none stronger
can be had. When a man comes
forward and testifies to his fellowcitizens,
addresses his friends and
neighbors, you may be sure he is
thoroughly convinced or he would not
do so. Telling one'9 experience when i
it is for the public good is an act
of kindness that should be appreciated.
