Y., June 13.—Presi- dent Wilson, making his first address gince the presidential campaign be- gan, today discussed preparcdness, militarism, Americanism and causes of the war in Europe, peace, the Mon- yoe doctrine, divided allegiance and the ideals of America. He declared it is the present imperative duty of the United States to be prepared, adding “mankind is going to know that when America speaks it means what it says.” General George W. Goethals, gov- ernor of the Panama canal zone, was' ‘one of the visitors here and expected to confer with the president regard- ing his desire to retire. He considers the canal finished. » Following the parade the president walked to the battle monument where a un(:ry of American flags had been erected over the seat. As the presi- dent spoke he faced up the historic Hudson river. Mrs. Wilson, dressed endul¥ in white and wearing a bou- quet of purple orchids, sat facing the president. * Following his address and a lunch- eon with a group of officers, the presi- dent motored around the ground: He illnned to leave at 3 o'clock for ‘ashington. America Must Come First. Shaking his finger emphatically, the president told the graduates of the mili academy and a large audi- ence that nobody who does not put America first can be tolerated. g{e added, however, that true Americans should set a good example. The president declnrex the present war did not come by accident, but|ily. that it had to come. The United States wants nothing from Europe, he said, and there is nothing it wants which it must get by war. He sounded a warning that no man can tell what the next day will bring|id forth in world’s events. The word: Americanism was used by the president for the first time in recent addresses. He warned the graduates against militarism. « Not a Blustering Nation. § gident said the United Sm should not be a blul:erln:'nec- :ihon. s E.m wifl:l a “caip oanu will withhold its hands s lokg. as hands as loag as possible and strike only for vic’o‘ry.

WERE COMPLETELY SURPRISED Field Headquarters General Per- shing, June 12.—(Via Radio to Co- lumbus, N. M., June 13.)~—The finish- ing blow was given he largest sur- viving band of Villa‘followers in Chi- huahua at daylight June 9 by twenty men of the Thirteenth United States cavalry under Captain Otto W. Ret- horst in a dashing canyon fight twen- ty miles north of Santa Clara, near here. The Americans were unhurt, The Americans routed twenty-five Villa bandits, killing three, wounding several and capturing all their horses and saddles, some rifles and several thousand rounds of ammunition, crip- pling the band completely. . . A night ride brought the Americans into the canyon at daybreak, where they followed fresh horse tracks. Rid- ing ata gallop they rounded a canyon turn within 200 yards of the encamp- faent in a grove of pines. It was a complete surprise. There was a headlong rush among the Villa fol- lowers, who, half clad, grabbed rifles and fought from behind trees. The Americans dismounted and within three minutes had routed the bandits, who abandoned everything and sought refuge in the rugged mountains. For four hours the Amer- icans continued the pursuit, climbing over the mountains afoot and fight- ing from the shelter of rocks. Sev- eral Mexicans were shot, but neither the bodies nor the wounded were re- covered. Returning to thé Mexican bivouac the Americans added the bandits' breakfast to their own repast. The bandits had only beef and coffee. This band is said to have been. the largest surviving remnant of the force of Candelaria Cervantes, who was killed three weeks ago in a brush with Americans. The engagement is complishment of the campaign. Situation Seems Improved. ‘Washington, June 13—While some State department advices today gave a more favorable aspect to conditions in northern Mexico others reported anti-American demonstrations, leav- ing the situation unchanged. The agi- tation has subsided in the Chihuahua City region, where the most violent outbreaks occurred. Secretary Lansing indicated, how- ever, that smashing of store windows, parading and speech making had con- stituted the greater part of the out- breaks. The .rioters have not dis- tinguished between Americans and other foreigners, it was stated, al- though the cause of the disorder is fl'lll as the American troops on Mexican soil, It is known that some *feel certain propaganda is not being carried on without General Carranza's approval.

Doctors Will Take Part in Campaign for Preparedness Detroit, June 13.—Aggressive as- sistance from medical men and med- ical organizations of the United States in the movement for national preparedness was asked by Dr, Ru- pert Blue, surgeon general of the United States public health service, in an address today at the opening session of the American Medical as- sociation’s convention. Dr. Blue, president-elect of the association, gave the principal address. Dr. Blue referred to the use of drugs as “one of the greatest social evils in this country” and urged the medical men to participate in a far- reaching campaign to discourage, use of habit-forming drugs.

WHY WOMEN | WRITE LETTERS To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi- ' cine Co. « ‘Women who are well often ask “Are the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham l1edicine Co. are continually pul b zenuine?’” ‘‘Are they truthful?” Why do romen write such letters?”’ In answer we say that never have we published a fictitious letter or name. Never, knowingly, have we published an untruthful letter, or one withoct the full and written consent of the woman who wrote it. The reason that thousands of women from all parts of the country write such grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink- ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound has brought health and happiness into their lives, once burdened with pain and suffering. It has relieved women from some of the worst forms of female ills, from dis- placements, inflammation, ulceration, irregularities, nervousness, weakness, stomach troubles and from the blues. 1t is impossible for any woman who is well and who has never suffered t) realize how these yoor, suffering wo- men feel when re- stored to health; their keen desire to help other women who are suffering as t ~vdid. Use Cocoanut Oil For Washing Hair If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with. Most soaps and prepared shampoos con- tain too much alkall. This dries the scalp, makes the Rair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which fa pure and entirely greaseless), is much bet- ter than the most expensive soap or any- thing else you can use for shampooing, as this ean’t possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather; and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and rémoves every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly snd evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy end easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut ofl at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and ‘a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months.—Advertisement. 4 THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14, 1916, o ® REPORTS ON EAST LINE FIGHT DIFFER Austrians Assert Russians Defeated, While the Latter Announce Successes, GERMANS AID IN ATTACK Berlin, June 13.—(By Wireless to Sayville.)—German and Austro-Hun- garian troops delivered a heavy coun- ter attack on Russian frces advancing in northeastern Bukowina and drove them back, the official Austrian state- ment of June 12 says. The Aus- trians captured 1,300 Russians. The statement says: “In northeast Bukowina Austro- Hungarian troops disengaged them- selves from the enemy under heavy rear-guard fighting. German and Austro-Hungarian regiments by a counter attack drove back a hostile force advancing northwest from Bu- chacz. Thirteen hundred Russians were captured, “On the height east of Wesnie- wezyk a Russian attack was delivered this morning, but it broke down un- der our fire. East of Kozlov Aus- tro-Hungarian scout detachments captured a Russian advanced post. Violent fighting continues northwest of Tarnopol. “Along the Ikwa and in Volhynia it was comparatively quiet yester- day. West of Kolki we regulsed a Russian attempt to cross the river.
