selves are planning to overthrow
Carranza
Reports have reached the President
from various government agencies
that the new revolution is being To-
mented by Felix Diaz, and is to be
started from this country by way of
New Orleans and Ell Paso. Orders
have been sent to various southern
points to arrest Diaz and as many of
the other revolutionary leaders as pos
sible. The fear is that they may have
already crossed the border, and that
q new reign of bloodshed and anar-
chy is to be inaugurated in blood
soaked Mexico.
From sources very close to the
President it is learned that these re-
ports are causing him much greater
anxiety and uneasiness than any other
developments in the Mexican situa-
ton.
Failure of Whole Policy
To have another revolution started
just when he had persuaded himself
that his policy of inaction had in some
mysterious manner aided in the solu-
ton of the Mexican problem would
mean such absolute failure of his
whole policy that its effect upon senti-
ment here and elsewhere could only
be disastrous to the administration.

Advocates Vocational
Guidance For Immigrants
By Associated Press

Philadelphia, Jan. 20. - The need
less waste caused by the lack of
standardization in the handling of the
immigrant was emphasized by III. ii.
Wheaton of the Federal Bureau of
Education, at the meeting here to-
day of the National conference on Am
ericanization.
He told an audience of representa-
tive men and women from various
parts of the country that America
stands in vital need of the American
izing process. The waste products of
the immigrant problem are many, he
said. He cited many misfits, such as
educated aliens being compelled to
work in the street, and immigrants
with rural training put into the
mines. Vocational guidance should
be done at the ports of entry.
A number of other speeches were
made dealing with the problem of
Americanizing the foreigner. Former
President, Roosevelt will be the prip-
cipal speaker at a mass meeting to
be held here tonight under the aus
pices of the conference. His topic
will be Fear God and Take Your
Own Part"

THE ABoRIGINEs OF EUROPE

The Basques occupy mountainous
territory in the north of Spain and the
south of France. They speak Ian
guage which has no relation to any
other in Europe, but resembles the Ian
guages spoken by the North American
Indians more nearly than any others.
This does not mean that they had a
common origin, but that when these
languages took their present shape the
peoples who spoke them were in a SINH
lar stage of development. The Basque
language is entirely deficient in alb
stract terms, all such words being bor-
rowed from other languages. 1t is
spoken by about 100000 Spaniards and
Frenchmen, and was probably at one
time spoken over large part of West
ern Europe. The Basques are very
proud and tenacious of their ancient
customs and rights, and have given to
Spain some of her most illustrious
men.-THE CHRISTIAN HERALD.

process has the administration sub
jected our citizens in Mexico to the
sort of treatment likely to be meted
out to citizens of a country whose au-
thorities have brought upon them the

whole people"
Personal Vengeance
The administration, the speaker de-
clared, had ignored past American
practice in international intercourse"
in its plan of personal vengeance"
against Huerta, and then, by recogniz-
ing Carranza, had given 'the clearest
and most convincing proof of the err
ror and insincerity of it's declarations
that no government would ever be
recognized which did not have a con-
stitutional base for its authority"

Lynch, superintendent, declined to
discuss the subject at all this morn

sioner intimated that Mr.. Peace can
easily have the place if he wishes it.
The position pays salary of $500
a year.
The Last President
For years Mr.. Peace has been chief
of the testing department of the Cen
tral Iron and Steel Company. In ad-
dition to this he is a well-known &C
countant and bookkeeper. In 1911
he was chosen president of Common
Council and served in the chair until
Harrisburgs municipal government
changed to the present commission
form in 1918. The ex-councilmanic
president has been secretary of the
Harrisburg Republican Club for many
! years; at the election last Fall he OPP
posed City Controller Dewitt A. Fry
for the nomination of that office.

FORTUNE FOR MAN
WHO LOCATES JAPANESE
BUMP OF HUMOR

Japan was the first foreign country
where | saw moving pictures shown.
The 'richshas, which carry one to the
theater, have real Japanese lanterns
they drift along in the darkness like
glow-worms. At the theater they will
wait for you till the performance is
over and speed you back on tires of
American rubber.
In Yokohama one whole street is
given up to moving pictures-Theater
street. Great banners hung clear
across it, with the picturesque Japan
ese alphabet racing up and down, ad-
vertising the respective performances.
On the floor the audience sits, with
their feet squarely turned under them
absorbed in the shifting shadows. The
subtitles are in English but so COM
mon is English coming to be in Japan
that the meaning doesn't go over their
heads. 1t is now being taught in the
public schools so that there is always
some one to whisper the titles mean
ing.
American manufacturers have la
bored long and hard to find films that
will amuse the Japanese, but their sue
cess has not been very marked. No
white mind can fathom JapaneSe's
sense of humor. Our funniest films
over there go fiat. Charlie Chaplin
bores them. But in the midst of Il
death scene in some dramatic film they
will suddenly begin to rock with merri-
ment. There is fortune in it for any
one who will locate the Japanese bump
of humor and manufacture picture
plays that will hit it.
The Japanese are now manufacture
ing their own films, but they are not
of much interest to white people, as
nothing ever happens in them. There
is no action. Half reel may be given
up to drinking a cup of tea. But this
may be exceedingly funny to the Japa-
nese, for there has been more going
on than shows on the surface. BY the
way they lift their cups, by the way
they swing Their fan they are passing
a message. Two japanese can talk to
each other with their fans, while the
white man standing alongside under
stands nothing of what they are say
ing.-HoMER CRoY in World Outlook.
