PROTEST TO
. CARRANZA
Damage in Oil Fields Is Re-
sented by Great
Britain
URGES ACTION BY
U. S. IN MEXICO
Curtailing of Oil Supply of
Serious Moment to
Great Britain

Washington, Jan. l6.-The situation IL
Mexico with respect to Carranza's arbi
trary suppression Of operations OF thu
foreign owned oil companies in the Tam
pico district assumed critical form yes
| terday when Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the
British ambassador, called at the state
department to make what was character
lied as "very strong" representations to
Secretary Bryan on the subject.
This is not the first time the British
ambassador has had occasion to protest
to the state department against treat
ment suffered by British interests in
Mexico at the hands of the Mexican fac
tions; he was here only Thursday in re-
gard to the oil situation. His return
yesterday to make yet stronger repre-
sensations is regarded as most signifi-
cant and the indications now are that
the British government is prepared to
bring greater pressure to bear on the
United States on this subject than at any
time previously in the Mexican imbrog
lilo.
The reason is that the stoppage Of the
oil operations in the Tampico district
constitutes most serious menace to the
supply of the British forces of war on
land and on sea. From the Pearson Oil
Cos in the Tampico district the British
government has been in recent years
buying large quantities of oil, used for
supplying its warships and other pur-
poses. The war has made il more i'm
peratiye than ever that Great Britain
have access to a large and continuous
supply of oil.
While the British supplies are not yet
endangered because of the situation at
Tampico, a prolongstion of the present
conditions imposed by Carranza would
certainly, il is stated, seriously interfere
with the British sources of supply and
probably raise the price Of oil all over
the world. Because the issue is so Vi
tai in its possible consequences 10 the
present interests of the British govern
ment there is good reason TO believe
that il will urge action by the United
States TO provide a remedy for the sit
ustion, or perhaps even take steps itself
to protect the companies in their rights.
II was recalled here yesterday that
two years ago, in his famous speech |
about the British navy, Winston Church |
ID, the first lord of the admiralty, dis !
,ussed at length the position Of the navy
with regard 10 mineral fuel oil. He then |
stated that his majesty's government re-
yarded il as imperatively necessary that |
contracts made with the Pearson oil |
'os. for supplying Mexican oil should be /
indefinitely. The Mexican l
III comes to Great Britain over a route 1
east likely TO be interfered with BY war
operations and for that reason has fig
lred prominently in the British navy's
'lans in recent years. II is not doubted
hat the British government will 20 to
considerable lengths to protect this nee
ssary supply.

CENSORSHIP
HIT HARD
LOreburn's Criticism
Of System Strikes
Responsive Chord

LONDON, Nov. eff Lord Lore
born was hinung at comprise with
Germany when he told parliament
that indefinite continuation OF the
war might mean anarchy and that
ANY man would be strangely con.
structed who did not grasp at any
honorable opportunity OF prevent the
most frightful calamity which ever
befell the human race.v men high in
public life declare today he is prac-
tically alone in his idea.
The Loreburn speech seems to
have served only to elicit a general
reiteration OF previous emphatic
statements from responsible quar-
tiers that peace is impossible until
the central powers have been de.
cisively beaten.
In his criticism of the censorship.
however, Lord Loreburn evidently
struck responsive chord. Many
expressions are heard OF the belief
that my minimizing the Allies diff
cuIties, the censorship was more
than any other cause responsible
for unsatisfactory enlistments in the
past.
The matter promises to be still
more thoroughly thrashed out In
parliament In the near future, with
strong promises Of notifications In
the system.

A letter from Attorney James H.
Pound brought up the question Of
military training for school boys be-
fore the teachers committee of the
Detroit Board Of Education. Monday
afternoon. Mr.. Pound urged that
Washinston's birthday be devoted
to eliminating the hyphen from the
nationality of children Of foreign
parentage, and added the suggestion
that all boys be given instructions
In military training.
supt. Of Schools Chadsey frowned
on the suggestion, declaring that
practical training should be given, II
any attempt Is made to teach young.
sters the life OF the army.
"You cannot give boys proper mill.
tary training by marching them up
and down a playground for a few
hours each week." he said. 1.-THE
only way to do II Is to set aside a
period during vaaction. when you
can take them out. show them how
to dig trenches and let them handle
arms"
No action was taken on the COM
munication.

TESTIMONY
S0l0ist Who Hummed
"After the Bali Is
Important Witness

Oscar H. Smiths ear for music Ii
the chief defense Of the d. u. r. in
the $4,000 damage suit brought
against the company by Julia FL
wart. The case is being heard In
circuit court, before Judge Stevens.
Miss Elwart was 2 member OF an
automobile party which was scat
tered over the road at Harper-ave.
and Hastings-st., on the evening Of
Oct. z, 1918, when the motor car
was struck by Fourteenth line
street car. She remained uncon-
scious for three days as the result
of injuries sustained In the accident,
she states.
The entire case hinges on the
question of whether the motorman
changed his bell before the car in
his charge struck the automobile.
Miss Elwart and her witnesses in
sist that no warning was given.
Tuesday morning, the ID. u. r.
placed Smith on the witness stand.
He is soloist and member Of the
Musicians club OF Detroit. These
facts were introduced In the case to
support the contention that the wit
ness might be expected to have an
auditory nerve sensitive to har-
monious sounds.
And how did the musical ear fig-
ure In the case? Like this:
IL had been at the club" testified
Smith, land was going home rather
late on the Fourteenth car. When
I got on the car I was humming to
myself the strain OF After the Ball.
AS l started to hum, the bell began
TO ring. and do you know, that
motorman kept perfect time with
his bell as hummed? said to my
self then and there, That man
should be musician, not motor
man.
81 was still humming and the
street car bell was still keeping
time with me when heard the
crash as the car struck the auto"

lengthy report to the American Fed

(SfGf Correspondent United Press.)
LONDON. Nov. 9.--For the tradi-
tional civic pageant, which. during
centuries past. has marked the
swearing in of new lord mayor OF
London, huge naval and military
display today accompanied Ald.-Col.
Sir Charles WakeHeld's installation
as the city's chief executive.
Tens Of thousands gathered In
the neighborhood OF st. Paul's. some
to watch the lord mayors show, but
by far the majority interested In
two great recruiting meetings out
side the cathedral.
A short intercession services ut St.
Pauls preceded the inauguration At
Temple bar, the entrance to the
city OF London proper.
Naval units. detachments OF the
royal naval divisions, naval appren-
tees from the training ship War
spite. cadet corps. several detach-
ments OF the city OF London national
guard, special constables and a few
representatives of civic organiza-
tons followed the carriages of the

sheriffs and other great dignitaries.
The main feature OF the process
sion. however, was the recruiting
division-2.000 men, including units
of the city and county of London
territorial regiments, preceded by
Red Cross vehicles loaded with
wounded soldiers.
BY the new lord mayors order
no bunting. flags or other decora-
lions hung from the buildings.
Funds which otherwise would have
been spent on them were turned
over to organizations engaged In
wartime charities.
Enthusiastic cheers were given
for a small band of marching Tom
mics direct from the trenches. their
war-worn uniforms and equipment
In marked contrast to the spotless
khaki of the troops who preceded
them.
