YEAR 80-NO. 205 KINGSTON, ONTARIO, a UGU Tr 28, LAST EDITION. AMERICANS IN MEXICO TOLD TO LEAVE AT ONCE The Crisis It Would Seem! Has Been Re2ched. MEXICO MUST ANSWER FOR HARM TO CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES All Officials of War-ridden Repub- lic Notified They Will Be Held | Strictly Responsible For Injury | To Americans or Their P Washington, Aug. 28. The United | States government last night ad-| vised all Americans, 15,000 in num- ber, to leave Mexico at once, and at the same time warned Mexican officials that they will be held re-| sponsible for the safety of Ameri-| cans in that country. This action was taken by tary of State Bryan, acting by dir-| ection of President Wilson and in| accordance with the message which the president delivered to congress. The advice and warning are con- tained in a circular of instruction: gent to Nelson O'Shaughnes can charge d'affaires at M and all United States consular offi- cers in the southern republie. These officers were directed to in- form all American citizens that they are advised to leave Mexican soil, and that they will be furnished transportation to Mexican points] where ships will be provided to take | them home. All civil and military authorities in Mexico are warned in this note of the president that they will be held "strictly" accountable for the moles- | tation of American citizens and for damage to their property. Extracts from the president's mes- sage were included with the cir-u lar of instructions. At about nine o'clock last night Secretary Bryan went to the White | House and communicated to the president such parts of the latest note of General Huerta to Envoy Lind as had come in up to that time. | At ten o'clock Mr. Bryan left the White House and went to the state department. Before leaving the White House he sald: "A part of | the message to Mr. Lind has come in, and it has been shown to the president. The only comment now to Be made oh it ie that it is 'en- couraging," and that is the only + word that ought to be used as com- ment." Thére was a distinct air of satis- faction on the faces of the officials at the White House qn the receipt of this message and the view taken of At by the preeident and Mr. Bryan. It seemed that the officials | were pleased that the matter was still in the diplomatic stage. with | the promise of continuing so in- | definitely.

Crop More Valuable To Farmers Than Last Year's, Winnipeg, Aug. 28.--"In my judg ! ment the wheat crops of the three | prairie provinces will average twenty i bushels to the acre. Some crops wg, saw would easily go twenty-six or twenty-eight and even higher" was the statement of Nicholas Bawli, dean of the grain trade, yesterday. "A point I wish particularly to} make clear is that the crop will bring more money to the producers than did last year's. There has been no dam- age, the quality will be excellent and the weather is ideal. I look for our wheat to grade high this year, and I Advertising in daily news- papers like the Whig has be- come the livest sort of live news. - The well informed man or woman must keep posted on what is being exploited in tha advertising.

London Notes a Revival of Popular- ity of Malt Liquors, London; Aug. 2%. --~What is the cause of the revival in popularity of ale and beer as table beverages ? askg the Pall Mall Gazette. That there is a re turn of their aneient vogue in the res- tavrants of London noted by Charles Pond, the well-known restau- rant-owner, 'Beer beem coming into fashion again for some time," he says, "and the tendency is steadily becoming more marked. 1 was dining in a West End restaurant last night, and was surprised to notice how many men were drinking beer. A few years ago most of them would hidve chosen whiskey and a bottle of table water a8 a matter of course. There are changing fashions in beverages, in everything else, and beer, after being quite demode as far as London is concerned, is coming into fashion again. People have found out, I fancy, that it is easier to take more alcohol | than they need in the form of spirit than in the form of beer." Mr. Pond's observation is plentifully corroborated, says the Daily Mail, which quotes the opinion of the pro- prietor of "one of the few remaining examples of the old London taverns much frequented by the London Bo- hemians"' in support of the statement NATURALIZATION WILL HOLD OVER THE EMPIRE Citizens of Dominions Will Have That Status Also in Great Britain. Aug. 28.-- Under the new naturalization act, which the British government will intro duce at the coming session of the imperial parliament, naturalized Bri. tish citizens in each overseas domin- ion where a similar naturalization act is passed may on going to Brit ain obtain there a status as natural- ized citizens of the British Isles with- out first having to fulfil the residence requirement there. Thus naturalized Canadians going to England will ba, pracfically on the same legal stand- ing as citizens of Great Britain At present the British naturaliza- tion act makes practically no dis- tinction between naturalized citizens of the overseas dominions and citi- zens of a foreign country. The new act gives authority to the state de- partment to waive conditions as to period of residence in the case of British subjects coming from over: seas dominions, where a reciprocal naturalization act is in force. The government here wil pass next session a similar law with regard to Canada, admitting to Canadian natu ralization persons naturalized in Great Britain. Tbe result will be that a naturalized Canadian citizen will hereafter also be a naturalized citizen 'of Great Britain and vice versa. This will meet, for instance, the case of Hon. George E. Perley, who ig a naturalized citizen of Can- but who, if he went to Great Britain would not be legally entitled here to all the rights of a natural- ized citizen. This is the principal new feature of the redrafted act as recently agreed to by both the Brit- ish and overseas goernments. has as Ottawa, Imperial IN DEFENSE OF ALASKA.

GRAHAM MADE APPEAL AT CRYSLER'S FARM BATTLE- FIELD CENTENARY He Urged Young Men To Do Their Duty To Their Country, Holding That They Are Not This To-day. Doing Morrisburg, Aug. 28.--From north and south, east and west, by motor, buggy, train, steamboat and on foot, thousands of loyal Canadians assems-, bled yesterday to celebrate the tenary of the battle of Crysler's Farm No more attractive sight -could be imagined than that of a thousand boys and girls sprung from the loins of the heroes who thad brought vic. tory to the British forces in 1313, waving their flags and showing their thorough appreciation, young as they were, of the sentiments of the, var- ious speakers. Crysler's Farm is situated four and a 'half miles lower down on the St Lawrence than Morrisburg, and the trip dy boat is one of the most Ce- lightful imaginable. All along. the road from Morrisburg to the moi ment advantage has been takea of telegraph poles, trees and fences to decorate them with the national ors, while every house was artistical- ly invested: On the historic battle- ground a big pavilion had Heen er ected, while all around lay refresh. ment booths.
