BORDER CITIES IN TERROR;
VILLA IS APPROACHING
Pacific News Service.
101. PASO, TKX. May 30.—Villa is
contemplating another raid across the
border according to advices received
here, and judging by the number of
districts that are reporting evidences
of activity on the part of Villa's fol
lowers across the line there is reason
to believe that these grave fears are
well founded.
A report that reached hero from
Douglas Arizona stilted that a small
hand of Mexican outlaws had raided
a number of ranches near there and
made good their escape, taking with
them several horses.
The raid was made In the night, and
early this morning the detachment
that took up their trail found where
tho.v had crossed the line and a guard
was stationed there to prevent a repe
tition of the occuranee.
Farther west near Mexicala it is re
ported that a number of whites are
with the Mexicans and it is thought
that these are a batch of German ad
venturers rather than a well organized
force w'lth Clcrnian capital hack of
them as at first reported.
Air scouts have been sent out to re
ronnoiter and their reports in some In
stances have substantiated the claims
Unit Villa is massing his forces near i
the border, therefore the l'nited .States
troops along the entire line are In full
readiness for action and it is behoved
that they are fully able to cope with
the situation.
Federal officers are at many of the
border towns, and they are keeping
close watch on all suspected persons
particularly Mermans whom they be
lieve are In I hi' clique who have been
smuggling arms and ammunition to
the Mexicans.
A feeling of terror reigns at numbers
of the smaller communities where
small squads of U. S. troops are sta
tioned, in fear that Villistas in over
powering numbers may swoop down on
them.
The situation is unquestionably
grave in the event that Hie entire Villa
forces are to make a concerted at
tack, as they would hit the line at its
weakest points knowing the country
so thoroughly, and while the U. S.
soldiers would make short work of
driving them back they could create
havoc in the short time that they
would be on this side of the line.
1, Alt EDO TEX. May 30.—'Thouands
| of Villla bandits ra'ided the towns of
Saltillo and San Tails Polos!, destroy
ing buildings ripping up railroad
tracks looting stoics and banks and
setting fires in different parts of the
thickly settled sections.
( Carranza troops have been rushed to
give battle to these outlaws and fierce
fighting will be in order when they
meet as there are large numbers on
both sides.

SENATOR STONE GIVES
EXPLANATION WHY HE
OPPOSED PRES. WILSON
_
In view of the Indecent attacks to
which he has been rifle :tel by Pie
Republican press Senator William
Joel Stone Issued the following st'-.ti*
merit in the St. Louis Republican, tii ■
lending Democratic paper of St. Louts. 1
The statement coming from the Chair- j
man of the Committee on Foreign Uo- j
lotions deserves the same attention |
as a message from the President of the
United States or any other high offi
cial. Mr. Stone is one of the foremost
Democrats of the Middle West, and I
is mentioned as a possible candidate j
for the presidency in 1920. it is a
curious fact that all the papers in the I
i
country which bitterly attacked him for,
his stand not one would publish his i
explanation. We print the most im- !
portant passages from Senator Stone’s ^
manifesto:
"I took no part in any filibuster.
These are the facts: On the morning j
of the day the President addressed the j
joint session of Congress, February
26. I was called to the White House
for consultn.tion with the President
and was then informed of the Pres'i
dent’s intention to address the Con
gress that afternoon and to recom
mend the passage of the statute which
has been the subject of this contro
versy.
“Accoi-dlng to our invariable cus
tom, the President and I discussed the
subject with absolute frankness. 1
told him that, in my opinion, it would
be a serious blunder to take that step,
and gave him my reasons, but evident
ly without convincing him. I felt con
vinced ttuil such ;i law, if enacted anil
enforced, would lead inevitably to war,
and I was opposed to plunging this
country iniothuI horror of horrors wit h
onl greater provocation than We had
so fur experienced. In addition. I, was
of Hie opin'ion tin■ t such a law would
he in direct conflict with tile pla'in let
ter of the Constitution of the United
States which Senators, as well its the
President, are sworn zealously lo sup
port and defend.
“I parted front the President weigh
ed with ominous apprehension but
without any change in my personal
sentiments for him. lie canto, as you
know, to the Capitol that afternoon
and delivered his address.
"When the Committee met the next
morning the bill, then in print was
taken up and considered. Various
amendments were offered. Some of
these amendments, for the most part
of minor Importance, were agreed to.
I offered an amendment proving In
substance and effect that no American
merchant ship armed or convoyed by
the United States should be permit
ted t*> transport munitions of war des
tined for delivery to the armed forces
of a belligerent Government at war
with which, the United States is at
peace.
"The United States was then, and Is
still at pence with all the Powers at
war with Germany. Diplomatic re
lations have been servered with Ger
many, but the relations of the two
Governments are those of peace, not ]
of war. Practically all men, even the1
President, agree to that. The trans
^ portat'ion of war supplies to the Bn
ti-iitc powers by or through tlie aid
of any governmental agency would be
iadispulahly a most offensive, unneu
11.11 ail on our part, and would, in law,
he of Itself an act of war. To trans
port such supplies, directl.v or indi
rectly, through any public agency of
' the government would he offensive in
| the highest degree, not only to Ger
I many, but to all the other Central
Powers with whom our relations of
■ amity have not been broken or dis
1 turbed. This would be true, because
munitions so transported and delivered
to Ihe allies would lie used In common
: against the armed forces of all the op
posing powers. It was to guard
against tills situation that T proposed
my amendment.
"I did not at any time, by any ob
jection or otherwise obstruct the le
I gitimate consideration of the bill or
stand in the way of a vote upon it. I
was, and am still, opposed to plung
ing this country Into tills horrible war,
if we can honorably keep out of It.
| Both sides have ruthlessly violated
| the rules of maritime warfare, as
J heretofore understood and prnctlced.
j Unhappily, 'it is a truth of history that
in great wars the belligerents treat
international law more ns a fiction |
' than as an authority, according lo
(heir interests and necessities.”

A COMMON ERROR
—
The Same Mistake la Made by Many
Alaskan People.
It's a common error.
To plaster llie aching back.
To rub with liniment rheumatic
Joints.
If the trouble comes from the kidneys
it’s time lo use Doan's Kidney Pills.
Here is convincing proof of merit.
1*. S. Kane, railroad engineer, 711),
Seventh St., Sacramento, Cal., says: "I j
Injured my back and was afterward sub
ject to a dull, tiresome ache across my ;
loins and in my kidneys. The Jarring
and jolting from riding on the engine
aggravated the trouble. It was hard for ^
me to get up after bending over, owing
to the pain and lameness In my back. |
My feet and limbs swelled, which showed I
that my kidneys were the cause of the j
trouble. Doan’s Kidney Dlls gave me
prompt relief. A box or two now and ■
then keeps me feeling all right.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's
Kidney Pills-the same that Mr. Kane
had. Foster Mllhurn Co., Props , Ruffalo,
