ill 11 ndarnUmdi to tl
1 1 ' that arms and ammunition WST*<
permitted to go to the Mexican fed
erals and denied to the rebels. This
situation, officials point out, is the re?
sult of the neutrality resolution pass?
ed by congress by which munitions of
war are allowed to go only to the es?
tablished government of Mexico.
Th?? complaints against the special
agents referred by the president to
the attorney general charged, it is
that Mexican Consul Lorente at El
Paso. Tex., practically directed op?
erations of the American agents and
that there was too close relationship
between the federal agents of Mexico
and those of the United States.
Officials declare the protest grows
out of the energy of the special agents
n-ive displayed In enforcing the neu?
trality resolution and that much of
the critical testimony came from a
special agent who was permitted to
resign. it is denied that any im?
proper influence is exerted by Mexi?
can officials The Mexican agents, it
Is said, cooperate In treating viola?
tions of neutrality by *ne rebels as
a natural result of the resolution by
which arms go to the federals only.
Specific chargea of Improper con?

it was said, had been dealt with by

of it:

I give up Work* A ph><>ician treated
me but his medicine brought no re?
lief and I then tried several well
known kidney remedies but was not
helped. One day I read a statement
in the local paper given by a party
who had used Doan'a Kidney Pills
and the remedy had acted so bene?
ficially in that case that I got a sup?
ply at China's Drug Store. After
usinpt one box, my aches and pains
disappeared and the contents of six
boxes completely cured me." (State?
ment given February 8, 1908.)
The Cure Lasted.
On January 9, 1911, Mr. Vogel
said: "I take pleasure in confirming
my former endorsement of Doan's
