CLAIM STATE LAW
VIOLATES TREATY
Italy Joins Great Britain In
Protest TO United States.
ARIZONA IS THE OFFENDER
Ambassador ceIlere, OF italy, Closely
Follows the BrItish Ambassador
In Officially Notifying the
Government.

Washington, D. G. - Italy joined
Great Britain in her protest against
the Arizona State law which the
nations claim violates treaties in the
respect that it discriminates against
their subjects in the United States.
The protest of the Italian govern
ment was fled by Count Macchi Gel
lere, its ambassador Soon thereafter
Secretary Bryan went to the White
House and had a long conference with
President Wilson. On the return of
Secretary Bryan to the State Depart
ment he found awaiting him Baron
Chinda, the Japanese Ambassador.
Secretary Bryan refused to discuss
either the conference at the White
House or his conference with the
japanese Ambassador. All Of the State
Department officials are now maintain
ing similar silence on this import
ant issue. The Japanese Ambassador
on leaving the State Department would
say only that there were subjects of
Japan in America" but would not
admit that any new protest against
that States discriminatory law had
been made by Japan.
May Cause Trouble.
Most of the officials believe that
the present situation created by
Japan, her ally, Great Britain. and
Italy has in it all of the elements of
a grave trouble if the protests are
pressed to the point of getting an
early answer from the United States.
What the nations are endeavoring to
get from the United States is a
declaration as to how far the Federal
government is responsible for the acts,
of Arizona.
The attitude of Italy was explained
to be similar to that which she main
tanned in the celebrated italian lynch
ing cases. That became so acute. at
one time that State Department off,
cials regarded it as almost imperative
that a statute should be passed where
by the Federal government should as
sumo responsibility which it could not
then or now do without interfering
with the rights of the State. Italy at
that time. through Baron Fava, then
minister to the United States, took
the ground that, as she could not deal
directly with State of the Union, she
would hold the Federal Government
responsible In the lynching cases.
It is limited very broadly that Eng
land, JAPAN and Italy are now taking
that same ground and that the United
States is expected to make final
answer. What the response will be
cannot even be foreshadowed today.
The issue is the same as that involved
In the protest of Japan to the United
States in the California alien land law
matter

MlxuP IN KEPLER's MIDST.
General Electric Employe, OF schenec.
tady Astounds Doctor.

Schenectady. N. Y.-Frank Kepler,
an employe of the General Electric
Company, went to doctors to have a
couple of fractured ribs treated, and
this is what he learned:
That his heart is on the right side
instead of the left. that his liver is
on the left side instead of his right,
and that all the rest OF his vital organs
are mixed up as though someone had
stirred him up with a porridge spoon.
The doctor got so interested in his
endeavors to ascertain the extent Of
Mr. Kepler's disorganization through
the X-rays that he almost forgot to
treat his ribs. Such cases are very
rare.
Kepler Is 36 years old and always
has had good health despite his curl
GUS internal arrangements.

Washington, D. c. Provisional
President Gutierrez and General Villa

"zapatistas, very meagerly clad,

Brings TRADE TO
UNITED STATES
How the European War is Giving
Boost to Business.
MANY LARGE ORDERS GIVEN
E. E. Pratt, Chief OF Foreign Com
meree Bureau, Estimates Volume
OF Business Coming Here
Due To the War.

Washington, D. C.-That one year
Of the war in Europe will add $780,
100000 to the foreign commerce Of the
United States is the estimate of Ed
ward e. Pratt, chief of the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce. Mr..
Pratt has just completed study Of
the reports of the American con-
suls and commercial representatives
abroad, of agents and Of his bureau
in this country and of the new orders
for American manufactures and prod
ucts reported in commercial periodi-+
Gals.
II the ratio of increase recorded
since August, when the war began, is.
maintained until next August he esti-
mates that new orders placed on the
books of American firms will total half
billion dollars.
AS specific data upon which to base
his estimates Mr. Pratt has the report
Of ]. Massel. special commercial agent,
now en- route to South America to
study the machine tool market there
and prepare review of the needs of
South American countries, which will
be made available to American manu-
facturers, In preparation for his trip
he visited virtually every large manu-
featuring plant In the United States
and estimated that the machine tool
manufacturing companies alone have
from $10,000,O00 to $15.0O0,0OO in new
orders from European countries now
on their books. One big plant, he
said, has enough work ahead of it to-
keep 1t in full operation "a hours q
day for the next two years. Several
concerns already are preparing to in
crease their facilities to meet the
larger demands arising from the war.
The first country among the bellig-
erents to seek the American machine
tool supply was Russia. Almost I'M
mediately after war was declared or
ders from Russian houses were re-
ceived for lathes and machines Of all
kinds of similar nature That de-
mand has been growing steadily, pre-
sumably because Of the fact that the
war had excluded Russia from her
usual source Of supply in Germany.
England and France now have Joined
in seeking American tools and 1t Is
indicated that the present supply can
not meet the demands OF course,
problems of delivery still have to be
met; but the business is of the most
valuable type, since orders are as a
rule accompanied by cash.
In reaching his estimate on the esti-
mated grand total Mr.. Pratt took into
consideration the enormous increase
in European bound food supplies
noted In September and October. De-
tails of the November foreign com
merce are not available as yet beyond
the estimate that trade balance In
favor of the United States of approx
mately $70.000.O00 will be shown De
partment officials are aware, however,
that the increase in food shipments
has continued and that manufactured
articles are beginning to move across
the Atlantic in considerable volume.

Both Villa and Carranza.
LEADERS Ex-AOERTA CHIEFS
Proclamation Issued In chihuahua
Dated Few Days After Escaps
OF saIabar From Prison 10
IN New Mexico.

RI Paso, Texas.--A. new revolu-
tionary movement has been started in
Mexico, according to copies of a
proclamation received here and signed
by Jose Inez Salazar and Emilio p.
Campo. two former Federal generals.
They were reported at the head of
troops in central Chihuahua and about
to attack Casas Grandes, . strategic
point southeast Of Juarez and west OF
Chihuahua City.
The proclamation denounced both
the Carranza Constitutionalist govern
ment, as established at Vera Cruz, and
the convention government. sustained
by, Villa. It was said that conven-
tion form of government would be
established by the new party. Sup
port in all parts of Mexico was
claimed
The document was dated ct Vado

rs. This was a few days after Gen
eral Salazar escaped. from the jail at
Albuquerque. N. NJ, where he was held
on charge of perjury He previously
had been detained at Fort Bliss,

thorities.
Both salazar, and Campo were
chiefs under the Huerta government,
together with Gen. Pasceul Orozco.

with agents Of the former Huerta gov
ernment, and. it is reported. attempt
ing to purchase arms and ammuni-
tion. The new movement is de-
nounced by both villa, and Carranza
followers as a reactionary attempt.
Rice, the British Ambassador. informed
the State Department of dispatch
from British Charge Hohler in Mex
leo City saying reports were current
that General Carranza was planning
to destroy the British-owned railroad
between Vera Cruz and Mexico City
by blowing UP certain tunnels.
The ambassador also informed the
department that Carranza had seized,
at Vera Cruz. British cotton consigned
to interior mills, as well as other ship
ments of British goods. He is under
stood to have made no specific re-
quest of the United States and his
action was in line with the established
policy Of communicating to the depart
ment all reports from Mexico City
Grave concern was expressed, how
ever, over the reported threat of Car
rama to put the railway, the only line
operated between Mexico City and
Vera Cruz, out Of commission. If this
were done by destroying tunnels, a
long time would be required to restore
traffic. Meanwhile British subjects
and other foreigners in interior Mexico
would not have that means of escape
from Mexico City.
