would be Immediately seized and con-
verted into the Golfers Of the authority
which he is seeking to overturn. The
prospective revolutionist is advised to
form foreign company--American
British, German or French-to which
all his belongings are transferred. Thus
his antagonist may not seize his prop
erty without getting into international
difficulties.
The third step in the programme
relates to securing munitions OF war
and getting them to the scene OF ac-
ton. In accomplishing this purpose
there Is the gauntlet of neutrality laws
and international law TO be run, as we'll

these munitions of war come almost
wholly from the United States. To
maintain the secrecy necessary to pur-
chase, ship and smuggle into country
SUFFICIENT arms to supply n revolution
is very difficult. An understanding OF
American sources and possible means
OF transportation IL indispensable.
Then there is the fighting and, II the
insurrection moves on toward success,
the matter OF obtaining the necessary
recognition from other Governments.
This last matter requires most delicate
diplomatic handling.
The most striking example OF a sci
entifically conducted revolution was that
which resulted in the overthrow OF Diaz
and the election of hadero as President
OF Mexico. 1t is well known that the
most important battles in that contest
were battles of brains on the American
side OF tho Rio Grande.
Francisco l. Madero had announced
himself as a candidate for the Presi-
dency In opposition to Diaz and for his
presumption had been Immediately
thrown into Jail upon a trumped up
charge. Madero, though member of
a family of immense wealth, had never
held office and was not generally known
TO the Mexican people. This imprison-
ment was important In that II got him
to a certain extent before the public,
Upon receiving his freedom Madero pro-
ceeded in a scientific way to develop a
revolution.
One of the first things Madero did
was to employ Hopkins & Hopkins as
his counsellors and to establish a dlplo-
matte agency in Washington. The larger
moves on his chessboard We're made
from the eighth floor OF the Hibbs
Building; indeed to a very large extent
his success is due to the direction of
these American lawyers. Their guiding
hand reveals itself in half dozen diff
ferent ways.

to get the Madero wealth beyond the
reach VI Diaz. That Il Nigh. nc: &c

the inner machinery of Latin American
revolutions as one discusses the play

success Of half dozen revolutions In

TODAY'S ADJUSTMENTS.

The first episode of ''ZUdora" starts
at the Grecian today. "Zudora,' the
widely heralded serial by Daniel car
son Goodman. is distinctly unusual
both in conception and its handling; it
promises to be most fascinating
story to follow There are to be in all
20 episodes, each complete in itseII.
Thusi those who have not seen chapter
1 will enjoy chapter 2 or 5 just the
same. In that respect, 'Zudora' is
comparable to a series of short stories
in which the same characters appear,
but at the same time it proceeds like
a novel towards the final climax. "Zu-
dora" can really be called a wonder
photoplay. There are about $50 scenes
in each episode-3000 scenes in all,
and in the cast the principals are
Marguerite Snow, James Cruze and
Harry Renham. In the episode which
