RELEASE 0F HUERTA
 ANGERS WASHINGTON
Evident Commissioner Acted
 Without Consultation.

Administration officials were dis pleased at the receipt of d report from Fl Paso that General Huerta, who was, arrested Sunday with Pascal Or0zco| charged with violating the neutrality of the United States, had been released under S15.0GO bail. It was evident that the United States commissioner before whom the former dictator was given preliminary hearing had acted without consulting Washington authorities, and it was equally clear that thesc. authori- ties would have advised against his re.
 lease had they been consulted.
 No secret is made of the fact that Huerta's release opens the way for his escape across the border in keeping with his original plans. Some officials fear that he may make such move and by so doing thWart the plans of the United States for stamping out his revolutionary movement before it could get under way. ::
 Tn view of this anxiety instructions have been sent to the secret service OD. eratives at Fl Paso to keep a careful watch over the Mexican leader with a, view of rearresting him if he shows signs of attempting to leave the iuriS- dictiOn of the United States. He wiJh Orozco, will go before Commissioner, Oliver for their examining trial Thurs. day.
 The importance of the supposed Huertista plot from the viewpoint ot the Washington administration was in dicated by the disclosure that General Felipe Angeles IS one of the Mexican generals who has been under surveil lance as suspected co-conspirator Angeles is now ir the United States on some unknown mission. Angeles is the chief general of the Villista forces. and | his loyalty to Villa had not been QueS- | toned until it became known that the | government at Washington has reason to suspect him of participation in the | Huertista councils.
 Colonel George H. Morgan, com. mander at Fort Bliss. who was the en- forced host of the former Mexican pres
 ident Sunday, sent his card with an in
 vitation to dinner to General Huerta while he was receiving newspaper
 men. Colonel Morgan also invited the
 general to be his guest at a military re- view at Fort Bliss.

Past, Says LATE Young

tions give extrs voters, but no man
can have more than three. Under this
plan there are about two million
seven hundred thousand voters in Bel
gium.
In early times a citizen of the
Netherlands was first citizen of his
town before his province and Of his
province before his country.
Belgium is divided into nine prov
inces, namely, East Flanders, West
Flanders, Haninault, Brabant, Ant
werp, Namur, Liege, part of Linn
burg and part of Luxemburg. These
provinces are divided into three hum
dred and forty-two cantons and 1928
communes. Each province has gov
ernor named by the king. There are
innumerable provincial councils with
local functions in regard to taxation
and finance. Each province is much
like one of our American states. Each
commune of five thousand inhabitants
or over has burgomaster appointed
by the council. The communal coun-
ell has legislative and executive pow
ers in local matters.
How Courts Work.
The burgomaster is an important
parsonage. While Belgium is almost
unanimously Catholic, there is no es-
tablished religion. Belgium has a
unique system of courts which has
proved to be satisfactory. Her su-
preme court sits as censor on other
courts, very much as our supreme
court does. The judges are appoint
ed by the king on suggestions from
the senate and judges can be removed
by unanimous vote of the other
judges. There are twenty-six courts
of first instance. In few of the
largest centers, such as Antwerp and
Liege, there are special courts for
commercial cases. Belgium has a
good school system and there has beer
the usual friction in regard to teach.
ing religion in the schools, but mas.
much as all are Catholics, the friction
has not been sufficient to do Other
than to change the ministries wher
something unpopular has been pro
posed. The two universities are To-
Gated at Brussels and Louvain. The
one at Louvain has been destroyed b,
the Germans and will in time be re
built.
The king of Belgium has barrel,
enough Of Belgium territory in hi.
possession for his little army. He ha!
little corner and can communicat,
with the other side of the world b,
the North sea. But he rules over
great little country, or at least doe,
so when he is at home.
