Ferguson was kept busy today greeting
Tcxana in Washington who called to pay
respects. He apent aome time In con-
ference with Secretary of War Garrison
going over the matter of having the quar-
antine atation at Galveston ceded back to
Texas and submitting in argument in
support of a speedy settlement of the
Texas National Guard's account with the
government. He urged the making of an
Invoice baaed upon the value of the miss-
iDg guard equipment instead of the origi-
nal cost batis Insisted upon by the war
department. Tonight Governor Ferguson
said he was well satisfied with the atti-
tude of Secretary Garrison and was very
hopeful of an early settlement of both
these matters. He added that the Mexico
sltnation was gone Into pretty thoroughly
but that it deevloped nothing new.
Tomorrow he will be the guest of the
Texas congressmen and on Monday will
witness the opening of the new congress

Shopping Idea That Was Popular!
Tear Ago and Hade Thous-
ands Happy.
Last Christmas the parcel iost and ex-
press companies carried bottles of natural
VltaJitas as Christmas presents to cities ;
and towns throughout America and even
some shipments were sent across tha seas 1
to bring cheer to those who were ill.
No more timely or eppropriate present I
could be made to a sick relative or friend. '
This is the way one man expressed It whoi
sent two bottles of Vital. taa to his axed ;
mother in Boston. "It Is the most seaai- j
ble gift I could make: she is In poor
health emaciated and surfers with stom-
ach kidney and other troubles. I know
this will do her good and for a hundred
times the amount 1 could not send any-
thing that would be of so much value to !
her."
' VltaJitas is Nature's greatest tonic and .
correct.ve. It is extracted from a vul-
canic substance found at but one place
oa tbe earth and is a remarkable blend'
earth chemicals and forces. It has no j
harmful .ngredients and ia pleasant. It
will assist in speedily overcoming Indiges- !
tion. rheumatism biliousness nervous de-
bility and many ills even In chronic form
of stomach liver kidneys bowels and
blood. It is effective even where all else
has failed.
For sale by all druggists (Advertise-
ment.) connection ti is said have been from the I
start that the fitted r-tates in taking any
ai tion upon the papers found on Archi-
bald was usin; evidence which was f ur-
nislied by the enemies of Germany and j
thticforc was improper.
Safe conduct home for the offending '
attaihes has nut tt been requested of
the entente allies but it was sail at thai
state department it probably would he. It t
is assut ! tii.it the attaches will leave
the iounti lamieilmtely .
PRISIOENT ADVISED
THE CABINET.
President W ilson is said to have sdvised
las cabinet at today s meeting of the
action taken by the state department. '
The first intimation of what had been !
cone eanie shortly before the conclusion
Of the meeting.
It was said tunigld that it was because :
Of the investigation that is being made I
to determine the desirability of Consul j
General Von Nulier that no further action
had been taken by the deiarimant of jus-1
tice regarding the statement Issued In ;
its name wnicli appeared to give i on-1
Urmation of the charges made by Dr. !
Goricar. farmer Austrian consul.
The charge of the Austrian embassy .
her protested against the statement and
asked it be denied The Austrian foreign j
office liirough Ambassador I'rntield at I
Vienna also inquire. 1 about the state-
ment asking whether the department of
justice had issued It and if so upon what
grounds the asertiuns in it were made.
Ko rejily has been made and it is con-
sidered probable that none will be until
the state department determines whether
Von Xuber is an offender.
fount Yon Hern.tnrfT called upon Sec-
retary Lansing today just before the
secretary left the state department for
the cabinet meeting. They conferred for
nearly an hour and It was said the issues
in the Lusltania case were tha principal
subjects of discussion.
FORD'S PEACE SHIP
WILL START TODAY
(Continued from Page One.)
until peace has come again. What I
shall di next. If this mission fails I do
not know- as yet: I have not any idea.
But 1 shall do something I am deter-
mined in that
' vl have always been opposed to war
and opposed to ire juration for war. I
really don't know Just where the plan
for the peace mission came from. The
project of chartering a bhlp and holding
a conference on the other S;de aeeaned to
J m best1 fitted to meet the situation. It
simply appealed to me as the most suit-
able action now so 1 started carrying It
out. If we fail in this we shall start
over again from the very beginning' that
Is all.
"The mission in reality ia to rouse
public sentiment against the horrors of
war and In favor of peace. It sets peo-
pie to thinking and wondering about the
.. war."
