A. B. hall yesterday were made the occasion of a patriotic address by Senator l.. V. Ray, setting forth not only the debt of gratitude we owe to the men who laid down their lives in the Civil war that this nation might continue, but also the duty we now owe that it did not perish from the earth.
 Exercises by the school children followed assembly by Capt Ward. or ricer of the Day Byron then intro duced Senator Ray, who, after re- counting the changes in the signifi- canoe of Memorial day, brought to the attention of the audience the more serious phases of the situation now confronting the United States,
 To-day war is a business. It is now as much a part of our national life as the operation of railroads the construction of buildings or any other line of manufacture or business.
 "We must recognize that fact, and as we are all stockholders in the cor poratiOn of the United States, we must see to it that this new branch of our business is carried on efficient lv. We have all participated in the cumulative dividends of liberty and freedom of action our great corpora tion has from time to time declared and dic'ributed, and in order to secure further dividends of like nature 1t is absolutely and imperatively neces- sary that this new line we have taken up De carried forward to success with the same efficiency as the other branches of our governmental buSi- ness.
 "For nearly three long, neve-rack- ing years our nation, in all honor has conscientiously endeavored through diplomatic means, founded in the ut most integrity of purpose, to avoid war. So intense has been our desire for peace, and our abhorrence of war at home, our government has been criticised and ridiculed, while abroad our patience and forebearance have been marveled at.
 "Let us consider the indictment pre- sented to congress and the charges contained therein, and now found by a united nation to constitute a true bill by the tribunal of the people, and ascertain therefrom whether we shall wait for an armed invasion of our land and homes before answering the demand of our manhood to prepare.
 After recounting the OffenSes of . Germany against the United States and the rest of the world, Senator Ray continued:
 "Have not these charges been proved to your satisfaction beyond a reasonable doubt? Is not your yer dict in accordance with the verdict Of thise.atiOn and do you not also on your oaths say the prisoner at the in- ternational bar of justice is guilty?
 "The work that We are called upon to do when we enter this war is to preserve the principles of human lib- erty, the principles of democracy, and the light of modern civilization; all that We most love, and all that We hold dearer than life itself. We wish only to preserve our own peace and ol1 own security.

German Finances Reported
 Backing Obregon. Carran- "a And Others Expected To
 Be Thrown In Jail.

FL PASO, April 17.-A reliable
 American who arrived at the bor-
 der from Mexico City, today by
 way of Saltillo and Torreon, said
 he had heard unverified rumors
 there of plan for a "cuartelaze"
 on or before May i, when General
 Carranza would be inaugurated.
 This rumored plan, he said, was
 a part of general movement to
 have Obregon seize the govern
 ment and was receiving German
 financial and moral backing. he
 added. He said a prominent Mex
 ican had made prediction to him
 in Mexico City that Carranza new
 CT would be president nor would
 the new constitution be put into
 effect.
 He said he had learned of plan while in Mexico City to have Obregon elected at the recent elections in the place of CarranZa by the strong Obre' gon party but that CarranZa learned of this while in Guadalajara, called Obregon there and had charged him with this plot. wEereupon O5reeon de nied any part in it and the election was almost unanimous for Carranza the American added.
 Germans Have Big Pull"
 He said the concentration of large bodies of defacto troops in the north in command of generals loyal to Obre- gon rather than CarranZa was causing much worry in Mexico City and 1t was said there that these troops were sent north to prevent Carranza from receiv, ing arms from the United States should the embargo be lifted.
 These reports and rumors were de nied catagorically by Carranza consul Eduardo Soriano Bravo late today who said all of the rumors regarding a break between Obregon and Carran- ga had originated with Palavachini, the Mexican editor who was arrested recently for his newspaper attacks lpon Obregon. These articles attack ing Obregon and questioning his loy- alty to Carranza, were copied, the con- sul said and were responsible for the about the Obregon movement.
