Chihuahua, near the place where Amer

these three employes made their appear

the third appears to have been killed.
"The department feels that It took
every preeaut'on to prevent Americans
from exposing their lives in a region
whera guerilla warfare Is in progress.
"It Is to be deplored thai lis advice
was not followed. ,
"Every step will be taken to see the
perpetrators of this dastardly crime ate
apprehended and punished."
Senator Sherman's resolution reads as
follows:
"Whereas, Mexico Is now and has for
several years been rent with civil strife,
which, in the absence of any government
ahlo adequately to protect life and prop
erty, has degenerated Into a condition of
murder, rapine and plllace, resulting In
tho loss of American citizens as well as
Europeans, there arid the dost met 'on of
their property, and,
"Whereas, Many such outrages have
been committed by the armed forces of
somo one or more of the allcced revo
lutionary leaders, whose warfare and fol
lowers are a method of brigandage, per
petrated by bandits, and.
"Whereas, Conditions since the recog
nition of Carrania. ono of the nlleged
revolutionary leaders, show no improve
ment, nor does his government manifest
any tendency or sufficient strength to
restore order or maintain civil govern
ment adequate to the protection of life
and property, and,
"Whereas, This government has pro
mulgated and' still adheres, so fr as
known, to what is commonly called the
Monroe doctrine, under which the gov
ernments of the old world are prevented
from the protection of their own citizens
or subjects by armed forces, and such
foreign governments being so barred from
the protection of their own citizens or
subjects because of the altitude of the
United States of the Monroe doctrine
thereby render it is alleged tho I'nited
States responsible for tho loss of life
or property resulting from conditions in
Mexico and such claim, whether well
founded or not, is of an arbitrary char
acter which may miliji-it us to arbitra
tion before some tribunal on the ques
tion of damages, and.
"Whereas, such civ il strife in northern
Mexico has enclanpeied the life, limb and
property of the people of border states of
this country, and conditions have now
reached that Ftase no longer tolerable to
the peace an.l g xd order of the border
ftatoa of this utMen, or the life and se
curity of American cltlxens or other alien
in Mexico; therefore, be it,
"Resolved. That It is the sense of the
senate, the house concurring. t1st the
government demand of Carranza, who
has been recently recognized as the head
of an established government In Mexico,
that he protect and save harmless the
lives and property of Americans ni
other aliens in that country; and
"That the o-lu-r governments In the
western liemisrhere that late'y Joined In
such recognition l Invited to unite in
that demand, uml that in the event of
failure of Carrat.za promptly to furnish
such protection that the president be and
he Is hereby requested to Invite the co
operation of such governments hereto
fore joining wltn us In intervening for
tho restoration of peace and good order
and protection of lives and property, not
only of American citizens, but other
aliens and of peaceable citizens, and that
i hen such order i restored and a gov
ernment adequate to continue and sustain
such protection is established that the
I'nited States withdraw from that coun
try: and It is further
"Resolved to be the sole and only pur
pose of this ;;ovi'mment to enter the ter
ritory of Mexico for the purposes indi
cated." Although the introduction of Senator
Shermans resolution passed without de
bute, the speech making broke out later
when Senator Ghllinger, tho principal
leader, declared the time for watchful
waiting had o-vHscd. and that the I'nited
States now must take some steps to pro
tect the lives of Americans in Mexico.
FOOD FROM BRITAIN

London Mail Says Large Quantities

DENOUNCES FOREIGN OFFICE
LONPON. Jan. 12. The Mall
rrinls a five-column article, crowded
with statistics devoted to showing
that all kinds of foodstuffs from Eng
land are passing through lenmark
for Germany. The writer of the ar
ticle who was sent by the Mall
through the Scandinavian countries
and Holland to make inquiry into the
st bject, says that a similar condition
of affairs prevails throughout Scan
dinavia and Holland, but he confines
his figures to Denmark.
The Ianish government now prohibits
the publication of statistics except at
the port of Copenhagen, but a study
even of these restricted figures ssserts
the writer, proves the case comolctcly.
Il declares It Impossible for len-
niark's small population to consume tc
enormous quantities of foodstuffs im
ported, and says the vast bulk of its
exports go to Germany, either directly
or through Sweden.

ni'.ltl.tcf. Jan. 12. Count Weslaip. on
behalf of a committee, reported to the
Reichstag today that the committee had
carefully examined statistical material
on the food problem and reached the
conviction that the existing supplies
were ample to support the population,
however long tha war continues. The re
port ssld especially that there was no
lack of the most common necessities,
like bread, potatoes and meat.
Nevertheless, the committee was con
vinced that economy in consumption
vsas necessary and that the people could
not live aa In times of peace. The pie
supposition for an ultimate German vic
tory, the committee reported. Is economy
in all directions, snd the conscientious
observance by the people of the govern
ments measures for conserving supplies
S nm e lrlre I natal' Iliad.
Ilerr Schmidt, socialist, agreed that the
food supplies were sufficient, but said
that, unfortunately, t'ie government had
delayed too long In adopting maximum
pi Ices for some commodities. Hence the
present prices were unduly high. Herr
Schmidt i la lined there hid been much
speculative rlttgliig of prices and declared !
alo that the farmers were holding bark
potatoes Tor speculative purposes. Swlno,
hn added also, were not reaching lh
markets in sufficient numbers since
the maximum bad been adopted, and that
there bad been much unscrupulous inl
ine of prices of manufactured goods, par
ticularly leather goods, was proven by
the fancy dividends of the In'licr com
panies. Minister of Inlertor Pel Rrueck gave
confirmation to tho statement that Hi"
supplies were ample until the next
harvest.

The drug, caffeine, in coffee, about 'iVz grains to

time of life, and often hurts them hard.
Caffeine is a powerful irritant that unsteadies the
