MEXICO FOR nExlCANS
Revolat tea Against fWeisaus ProtiSimst
for Sspiembsr 10.

Laredo. Texas july 2i-For
some time past rumors have been
rife in almost all the large cities In
Mexico which may portend anything
from a great strike of the laboring
element to a revolution against the
administration of President Diaz
Opinion is divided as TO what the re-
suit will be, but enough credence Is
placed In the rumors to cause much
uneasiness and steps will be taken
to meet any contingency which may
arise
Circulars have been posted in
Monterey. Saltillo. San Luis Potosi
and other large cities throughout the
republic warning all foreigners to
leave the country before September
/ 6, the independence day of the re-
public
The circular says in substance:
I'VE desire Mexico for the Mexi-
cans and warn all foreigners that If
they do not leave the country by
Sept. 16 they will be driven into the
sea-
Continuing the circular says:
THE principal industries and bus-
ness of the republic are in the hands
of foreigners, principally Americans.
The railroads, although they appar-
emily belong TO the nation, are the
exclusive property of Americans
the Americans direct them. The min
ing industry is largely controlled by
the foreign element and our nation
heretofore Independent, is being
made the servant of foreign capital
I'VE are on the border of an abyss
and a great catastrophe menaces us
unless We force all foreigners out OF
the country and give our own people
chance"
The Mexican government does no
fear any serious trouble, notwith
standing the posting of these circu
lars and will be fully able to cop'
with any contingency which ma
arise

NJ. V. Halling, the young man from
Sweden whoIvlsited the paper mills
in this neighbOThOOd some time age
to learn American methods of paper
making, was here again this week
He has visited the mills throughout
all the Wisconsin River Valley, and
will take his ideas back to Sweden to
use them in the making of paper
there. While here on his first trip, he
arranged with Jacobson and DeGuere
for plans by which to construct a big
new paper plant in Sweden, the mill
to use 164 inch paper machine. The
plans will be ready for him to take
along when he sails for home on
March 20. Mr.. Halling was very
much impressed with the way
Americans make paper, saying that
they made it as though all had to be
made in week. He said he never
fully understood what the term
"American hustle" meant till he
came here. At the same time be
gave Grand Rapids very nice COM

were not dissatisfied patrons, however,
but that number of school children

hundred of these bags were given
away in half an hour, and until the

utmost.
