Mexicans Get Leaders
of "the Grasping Hand

Mexico City, Sept. 29.-The police of
Mexico City believe that with the cap
ture recently of Ramen Canteli they
have broken up a band of burglars
and robbers which has terrorized the
more prosperous residence districts
of the city and which has taken loot
said to amount to more than $780,
900. The band was known as La
Mano que Aprista" or THE Grasping
Hand" from the black imprint of a
hand which always was left some
where about the premises where the
robbers operated. 1t is believed many
persons robbed feared to report their
losses for fear of the vengeance OF
THE Grasping Hand"
Canteli, it is said, was captured In
subterranean chamber opening
from the wall of deep well. He was
traced through his wife who brought
him food and it is alleged that sever
al of the victims of the robberies
have identified him as one of the
band.
The 5000 policemen of Mexico City
have received an increase in pay oi
from three and one-half pesos to five
pesos a day. They also will be fur.
nished their uniforms in future
Heretofore they have had to purchase
their own uniforms.

Big Naval Guns Shoot
Farther Than Land Artillery

Paris. Sept. 20. The use of naval
guns ashore in the present war. 1t Is
pointed out by naval expert. is not
mere expedient, resulting from ac-
cidental or incidental circumstances,
but as a well defined reason in the
greater initial speed of the projectile
of a naval gun and the consequently
longer range than that of field artil-
1ery. The new services they render
are due to the aeroplane which gives
the gunner on land longer ranges OF
fire than he used to get.
The 15-inch naval guns with which
the Germans occasionally lombard
Dunkirk and Nancy are believed to
be from ships lying idle in the Kiel
Canal. They are utilized because
they carry farther than the big NOR
tars.
The type of the naval guns would
have been more commonly used on
land for field work had it not been
so much heavier and more difficult to
manipulate than the shorter range
field and siege guns. Seven-inch to
eight-inch naval pieces may be
mounted on railroad trucks. but the
recoil of the larger calibers is SO
violent as to require solid concrete
foundation.

Ankle Gazers, Beware;
Here's New Danger

Kankakee, Ill. - Men who admire
a pretty ankle beware. Shadow skirt
gazers don't look. The old adage of
safety in admiration at a distance has
been refuted. If you have the in
clination to turn your head when a
pretty woman passes by, don't do so
or you may be adjudged insane.
Bert Watson Griggs, forty-four
years old, of Morris, Ill, adjudged in
sane in the Grundy County Court forty
days ago, now asks his release from
the hospital here. Among the reasons
why he was committed, according
to the bill was the testimony of a
physician. who stated that on two oc-
casions women were the victims OF
Griggs' mental molestations.
Griggs, however. declares he was
adjudged insane because he stated
that he had entertained affections for
a woman he had known for eighteen
years.

Mckenna, Walter Runciman, Lord
Buchmaster, H. Samuel, Lord Reading
and Arthur Henderson
The meeting lasted for more than
an hour and it is supposed that Mr.
Asqufth explained that he was faced
by almost insuperable obstacles to the
reconciliation of the conflicting inter-
ests and intended to tender his resig-
nation. Almost Immediately the pre-
mier drove to the palace and had an
audience with the King.
1t now is remarked that when Mr.
Asquith was asked in the House OF
commons yesterday If food dictator
had been appointed, he replied sharp

Versally mentioned as a member of the

position Is one of detachment from the
Crisis ana that he has not been ap-
preached with view to joining the
war council. One thing only was GER
tain. namely, that Sir Edward would
not take office under Mr.. Asquith.
According to the Times Sir Edward
Carson. since he resigned his post as
attorney general in the coalition gov
ernment has made a great name for
himself and gained the respect OF
many members who previously were
his bitter opponents.
Summing up the outlook the Times

Blames Cabinet Crisis on
Policy of Confding Conduct
of War to Coalition Ministry

London, Dec. 6. John Redmond,
leader of the Nationalists, in an inter-
view on the political situation, says:
THE Irish party is excluded from
any responsibility in the direction of
the affairs of the empire as long as
self government is denied ireland. The
present unfortunate position is mainly
due to confiding the conduct of the
war to a coalition ministry.
THE coalition ministry was formed
behind the back of the Liberal party
and the House of Commons, while the
Irish party was not consulted nor al
lowed to offer an opinion concerning
it. They condemned the coalition
from the outset, because they were
convinced there would be disastrous
results for Ireland and that it would be
a weak and ineffective instrument In
