Especial to News and Observer

(SDoCldI 10 NEWS anu OOSCINCl'J
Chapel Hill, N. c., Nov. 10.-Several
faculty members and advanced stu
dents have organized the Modern Lit
terature Club. The purpose of the
club is to encourage interest in con-
temporary literature and to give the
members clearer knowledge of what
is going on in the world of letters.
Monthly meetings will be held at
which papers will be presented and
discussed, and, besides, the club will
also occasionally invite men of other
parts of the State who are interested
in its work to give addresses here.
The club will, as a representative of
the University, extend to these men
from abroad a friendly hand and the
result will be a connecting link be-
tween the two which will be of mu-
tual advantage.
The officers of the club are: Presi-
dent, DIR. C. Alphonso Smith; Vice
President, Mr.. T. y. Higdon; Secre-
airy and Treasurer, Mr.. Frank Nc

That's How Roosevelt Looks to the
Folks Down in Mexico.
(By the Associated Press.)

Nby TIE &ASSOCldlcI L ISSSsJ
Mexico City, Nov. 10.-The results of
the American election are much dis
cussed in political circles. The Mexi-
can Herald says:
Definitely and in an unmistakable
manner the American electorate
stamps its approval on the imperial
istic and expansionist policy of the
dominant party, commits itself to the
retention of all the insular territory
acquired from Spain i'm both oceans
to the rapid pushing to completion of
the Panama Canal; to the building up
of a great navy and to the movement
for strengthening the military arm of
the government
The papers generally speak of Presi-
dent Roosevelt as the imposing figure
on the international stage of the
world, of cosmopolitan education and
wide and varied accomplishment and
as a unique figure in the long line of
American presidents.

and went down with crash. HIS
knee was wrenched, his umbrella was
broken. his glasses were smashed, his
coat was torn and altogether he look

rushed to his assistance and soon
large crowd had collected. He arose
unaided, however, and looked around
him in dazed sort of way. A spec

turning him toward the retreating car.
"Get the number and names of the

shouted.

remarked. "My friend, l do not know
