GIVES PEOPLE THE RIGHT
TO ALTER GOVERNMENT
Article in New Constitution of Mex
leo Says It Is Willed That Re
public Shall Continue.

QUERETARO, Mex, Tuesday, Decem-
Der 26, via Mexico City, December 81
At tonight's session of the Mexican con-
stitutional congress an article of the
new constitution was adopted declar-
ing that the national sovereignty ex-
lists essentially and originally in the
people: that the entire public authority
springs from the people and is insti-
tuted for their benefit, and that the
people have the inalienable right at
any time to alter or modify the form
of government"
The article says it is the will of the
Mexican people to continue as a repre-
sentative republic composed of states
free and sovereign in all that concerns
their internal affairs, but united in
one federation established under this
fundamental law.
The labor article still is under dis
cussion, the points debated being the
questions of an eight-hour day and
no night work for women and children.
These measures were added to the
original article in committee, and
separate vote may be taken on them
tomorrow. The labor representatives
also are pressing for more ample pro-
lection against capital.
The committee report on the penal
article was defeated and sent back for
revision, because it provided for a sys-
tenn Of penal colonies.

NAVY is TO TRAIN 10000
CIVILIANS NEXT SUMMER
Cruise Will Be Similar to That This
Year, According to New
Plans.

An opportunity will be offered for
@, 900 civilians to receive naval train
ing during the coming year. Navy De-
partment plans contemplate the use of
twelve reserve battleships for a sum-
mer training cruise, the establishment
of coast training camps at San Fran
cisco. Chicago. Norfolk. Newport and
probably Pensacola, and the organiza-
tion of motor boat squadrons made up
of owners of private motor craft.
The summer training cruise. which will
be similar to the cruise of last summer,
in which about 1000 civilians were
given training, probably will be held
again this year coincident with a naval
war game. Training at the camps will
be similar to that given apprentice sea-
men for one month. The expenses to
each man will be about sac. but Con-
gress will be asked to authorize en-
rollment of those who qualify in the
Naval Volunteer Reserve for one year.
with a provision that their expenses
for transportation to and from the
camps and for subsistence would be met
by the government. At present there
is no authority under which the civil
ians can bind themselves for war serv-
