Pills several times in the

good results. I have taken
this medicine for backaches
and irregular action of the \ |
kidneys and it has never fail-

Artillery Needed
The most serious shortage of
war equipment for the guard is
in the artillery. It is regarded
as certain, however, that if the
Guard divisions are sent to the
French front at an early date
they will be equipped with French
artillery on their arrival there.
Departure of the guardsmen for
France, it was indicated today,
will be governed by the shipping
problem.

BROWNSVILLE, Texas, July
15—When President Wilson’s em-
bargo on exports became effec-
tive today on the Mexican border
it was realized for the first time
here that even a 5c loaf of bread
could not be exported to Mexico
and that an automobile could not
cross the international line south-
ward without first drawing its
gasoline and then being pushed
across into Mexico, where the fu-
el supply would be renewed, it
possible. Hundreds of Mat amor-
os Mexicans who do their early
Sunday shopping in Brownsville
were not permitted to carry their
bread across by American cust-
oms inspectors. .
This action was taken, officials
said, on an interpretation by cus-
toms district headquarters at La-
redo that food grain on which an
embargo was placed, included all
flour and meal, as well as bread.
Brownsville and Matamoros
business men today sent telegrams
to the Treasury Department at
Washington asking if a more lib-
eral ruling can not be obtained
to meet the situation along the
Mexican border, where most ot
the Mexican towns are dependent
on American towns for food sup-
plies. Telegrams also were sent
to Congressmen asking their in-
fluence. „ , — ,
United States Consul Wood-
ward at Matamoros also has tak-
en the matter up with Secretary
of State Lansing.

MILITIA TO GO TO FRANCE
WASHINGTON, July 16—Mob-
ilization of the National Guard
for war service began today.
While no orders for embarkation
of State troops for France will
be given until after August 5,
when the entire force will formal-
ly be drafted into the United
States army, there are indications
that some divisions will be re-
garded as ready to hoard trans-
ports soon after that date.
The first clause ot I resident
Wilson’s proclamation of the Na-
for the Federalization ot the JNa-
tioifal Guard became effective yes-
terday. Under it all guard units
from New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, West Virginia, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa,
North and South Dakota and Ne-
braska went on the Federal pay
I0" Concentration Begins
Actual concentration of troops
in their home forces or state
camps began today. Approximate-
ly one-half of the total strength
of the National Guard or more
thau 125,000 men is included in
the force assembling. The first
step in their preparation has been
to send to the armories additional
clothing for their trip to the di-
visional training camps. Full
campaign equipment will be is-
sued at the big camps, reducing
the amount of material to be trans
ported with the troops.
Supplies at divisions are being
concentrated in the depots estab-
lished in the South to feed the
Guard units.
Guards Being Relieved
Rapid progress is being made
in relieving guard regiments that
hate been in the Federal service
since the declaration of war,
guarding property. This work
will be given over largely to civ-
ilian watchmen. It will be neoes-
■ary to retain guardsmen for the
protection of certain big munition
All Fort Worth men selected
for the draft when the serial
numbers arc drawn in Washing-
ton will have to undergo the phy-
sical examination for military
service, whether or not they are
exempt.
This information came from
Provost Marshal General Crowd-
er's office in Washington to Jas.
Liston, one of the local board
chairman, Monday morning in a
200-page pamphlet.
Those who expect to claim ex-
emption will then be allowed sev-
en days in which to file notice
with the four local boards. Ten
more days will be allowed them
for obtaining and filing affidav
its and proof.
Those found to not be physically
disqualified and who are not ex-
empt will find their names post-
ed at the headquarters of the dis-
trict board and in The Star-Tele-
gram. This will come on the
oigtli day following the drawing.
Notice also will be sent by the
boards to the address given on
the registration cards.
Some Claims to District Boards
Those who expect to claim ex-
emption on account of being en-
gaged in industry needed by the
Government for furtherance of
the war must not file these
claims with the local boards. They
go to the district appeal hoards.
Such claims must be sent to the
district board on or before the
fifth day after posting of the no-
tices that, a man has been selected
and neither exempted nor dis-
charged. Industrial claims in
elude agriculture.
Claims of appeal Irorn district
board decisions must be filed tne
days after posting names of those
persons who must serve. To
make such an appeal a man must
get a copy of forms from the lo-
cal boards and send notice to the
district board at once. The dis-
trict hoard then allows five days
for laving before it additional ev-
idence. . , . -
The notice that one is selected
for military service does not nec-
essarily order one into service.
The notice to report for duty will
come when the Government is
resdy*
Those who fail to appear when
their names are posted are liable
to arrest, trial and imprisonment.
General Crowder has prescrib-
ed/ forms for exemption to meet
every phase of claims and these
forms must be obtained from each
local board. Heavy penalties,
from a year’s imprisonment to
$10,000 fine and five years in
prison wil be imposed for filing
false affidavits or conspiracy to
make false entires.
THE ‘‘MAD FRENCH”
New York Evening Post: “\ou
are a crazy nation” (‘‘un peuple
d’enrages”). Such was the an-
gry exclamation of a German Col-
onel to the Frenchwoman with
whom he was lodging in the part
of France now evacuated by the
triumphantly retreating Hinden-
burg. The incident is recorded
by two French physicians, who
went to the invated territory as
Sbon as it was free, for the pur-
pose of bearing aid to the victims
of German maltreatment, and, in-
cidentally, of piecing together all
the evidence they could find about
the state of mind of the invading
army. They write of their ex-
periences in the Revue de Pans
of June 15. The Colonel in ques-
tion made his remark just after
the French had rejected the tricky
peace offer of Germany last De-
cember. When the pitiful rem-
nants of the French population
in the occupied territory heard of
this a thrill of joy ran from vil-
lage to village. “We have ™‘
fused to negotiate for peace; that
shows that we are the stronger!
But to the German Colonel, dis-
covering that the French had not
yet had “enough of war, it was
a sign that they had gone mad.
It is well known that the Ger-
mans in the invaded French prov-
inces published three or four tufts
a week a newspaper, the Gasette
Oar French doc-
enough to
find a complete file of it. They ^
studied it to excellent advan-
tage. For in this publication,
running over two years, there1
was disclosed the entire program
of German propaganda in France.:
The Gazette was absolutely the j
only means of public information 1
about what was going on open |
to the French inhabitants of the
invaded region. Everything else
was cut off from them. And the
Gazette told them many things
they wanted to know. It printed
the names of French soldiers who
had been made prisoners or who
had been wounded. It published
the official war bulletins, besides
giving a certain amount of local
news. Ilence the French eagerly
read it. But. throughout the Ger-
man aim was to take advantage
oi' thus getting a printed page
into the hands of French readers,
in order to endeavor to create
among them an opinion about the
war and its outcome. A part of
this was cleverly concealed or
only insinuated; a part was hold
faced and open. A great many
significant extracts from the Ga-
-ette are brought together, with
the appropriate comment, by the
two French physicians.
The whole was one more gigan-
ic display of German ingenuity
misapplied. To no other conquer-
ers would it probably have occur-
red even to attempt to sway the
opinions of a people to whom
their very presence was a con-
stant outrage. Yet nothing is too
hard for German efficiency. So
the Gazette des Ardennes set to
work, first of all, to poison the
minds of the French against the
English. It recalled the ancient
wars between France and Eng-
land. It even wrote, in bad French
verses celebrating Jeanne d’Arc
for having driven the English
out of France. How she must
suffer, ‘‘pauvre Jeanne,” at the
thought of the ancient enemy
again on French soil! This was
stupid enough, hut worse was to
;'ol!ow. The French were to he
shown the fatal error of their
ways. They hoped to win back
Alsace and Lorraine by persisting
in the war. The thing was impos-
sible ; but even supposing the lost
provinces could be secured, at
what price it would be! Much
more than they were worth. The
'eaders of the Government at
Paris were on the wrong tack. In
stead of hate between Germany
and France there ought to be af-
fection and co-operation—even an
“alliance.” France could be and
should be the intelligent financial
partner of a populous and labor-
ing Germany. Together they
could make themselves masters
if the world and put an end to
war.” Of such was the amazing
folly of this German Gazette pub-
lished to witch the conquered
French. Our investigating doe
ors were at pains to ask right and
left what had been the effect
ipon French readers of this eon-
stand patter of German intigue,
The replies would be discouraging
to the misisonaries of Kultur. Said
Madame Larrev in her wine shop
“There was no need of taking
pains to discover that they were
only printing lies in their wicked
paper.” That looks like lucidity
instead of lunacy.
If France seems a mad nation
to the disappointed Germans, to
other peoples she appears to have
attained, through her sacrifices
and. her heroic endurance, to a
pitch of spiritual exaltation. Hen-
ri Bergson, who spent three
months in the United States this
year, made an address before the
French Academy a month ago re-
counting his American impresions.
“America,” he said, “believes
with all her soul that France has
been for the whole world, in this
terrible crisis, a model of courage,
