faithful attendance during the month

awarded Mrs. Jackomelly. The Oc-

won by Mrs. Solomon.
An excellent program apropos of
the Thanksgiving holidays was pre-
sented at the Whittier school We'd
nesday afternoon. There were
Thankful songs" and speeches from
the little tots in room one. An orig
inal child's play came next, cleverly
rendered by the second grade. In
this the turkey and all the good things
to eat went on strike, and then at
sight of the children's tears surrend-
cred gladly, that they might have
Thanksgiving dinner" The chill
dren of room three gave welcome to
Thanksgiving" which was personated
by a pretty little girl who sat on a
white throne. The singing in this
was particularly pleasing.
The scene then changed to the
primeval forest and in this setting a
pantominee play of Hiawatha was
presented with great credit to youth
full impersonators from the fifth and
sixth grades. The readers stood be-
tween the trees and recited the scenes
in the beautiful poem while with sill
net moccasined feet the characters
came and went. Pilgrims entered in
the closing scene. The specialties
were Indian dances and an Indian
Lullaby" solo by Marvin Mckinney.
The program closed with America
and the Flag Salute by the school.
Space will not permit the individ-
ual praise and mention that these
children deserve. One hundred and
fifty people were packed into the
small audience room. The teachers
have been requested to repeat the
program for the benefit of the many
who had to be turned away.

A man serving an indeterminate

FEAR UPRISING
IN MEXICO CITY
Germans and AuStrianS Prepare
For Mob Violence.
THE AMERICANS ARE INERT
Treasury Is Empty and Huerta Is Hard
Pressed to Keep Going-Big Battle
Opens South Of Juatez.

Evidence of the fear Of serious trou'
BILE felt by the foreign diplomats in
Mexico City, Men. is afforded by the
action taken by two ministers to safe
guard their nationals.
The Austrian legation sent out cir
cular urging all Austrians to cooper
ate with the German and other Euro
pean colonies in organizing for de
fense. In this circular it is stated
that the troops in the city are so few
and the likelihood of uprisings against
foreign residents so likely, that the le
CATION deems it wise to adopt defense
measures.
Accompanying the circular was an
other. signed by the Germans, detail
ing the plan of organization. Men who
served in the German army have been
put in command and will direct af.
fairs. The Germans have a fair sup.
ply OF rifles and ammunition and two
machine guns.
The Americans have made no syste
matte attempt to protect themselves,
the disposition OF the majority appear
ing to be to trust to Provisional Pres
ident Huerta and his forces or to luck.
Resigned, apparently, to conditions
making it necessary to carry on
dilatory campaign against his enc
mics, Huerta and his official depend
ents appear serene, convinced that the
United States will not take more
drastic measures toward the Mexican
government than those already I'M
tiated.
It had been rumored that congress
would not continue to meet; that il
would be automatically dissolved. and
that Huerta was about to quit office
All these reports have been disproyec
by congress launching itself into what
promises to be a prolonged sess.on
1t is expected that it will take up ,he
ratification or notification of the pres
idential elections. 1t is understood
that these will be annulled, and thai
Huerta meanwhile will remain at the
head of affairs.
According to his intimates, no one
realizes more fully than Huerta the
