MExIco's NEW CONSTITUTION.
No More Conce ssions for Foreigners
 Article 33.

Queretaro, Jan. 31-The con- stitutionalist assembly yesterday passed article 33 of the constitu ton, which provides that the president may eXpel, without prior trial, foreigners whose presence in the repu bile is con- sidered troublesome. The article also provides that foreigners may not take part in the politics of the country, take possession of land, acquire landed property, or obtain concessions to exploit the products of the soil unless they renouce their character as foreigners and the protection of their government, and all that pertains to the titles in question, and remain completely subject in this respect to the laws and authorities of Mexico.
 The assembly also passed ar ticles of the constitution dealing with lands, which provided that sources. Under this article only Mexica ns, or foreigners who re- linquis h treaty rights, can ac- quire right of possession of lands and water. No church may ac- quire, administer or possess real estate. A
 Commercial or oil companies, or manufacturers of oil, may hold no more land than is necessary for their purposes. The decision as to their holdings is to be left to the president. Foreigners who acquire property by waiving their rights forfeit it if they in yoke the aid of their govern ments. Foreigners may not ac- quire land within no .kilometers of the border or 50 kilometers from the shore. In no case may they acquire direct control of land or water. Under this article religious associations may not take mortgages on real estate.

MAY BREAK WITH GERMANY.

Washington, Feb. 1.-What- ever course of action President Wilson has chosen to meet Germany'S declaration of unre- stricted warfare is known only to three or four members of his off cial family. Neither the cabinet as whole nor the foreign affairs committee of congress have been taken into his confidence.
 One high official close to the president declared tonight that no communication had been seE6 to Berlin or to Count von Bern storff who out1ardly was expect. ing a severance of diplomatic relations.
 There was every indication in official quarters. that note had been determined upon, but the indications as to whether it ac- tually had been dispatched were about evenly divided, with a high officials as authority that it had not, and some others who gave intimatiOnS of a belief that it had.
 From under the curtain of of f1cial silence, drawn closely over every move today, came various indications taken every where as index fingers pointing toward the probable course of the Un- ited States.
 It was undisputed that the government would not permit Germany's announcement to stand without challenge.
 But whether President Will sons answer will be solemn warning of a break in diploma tic relations if Germany's cam paign of ruthlessness is carried into execution, or actual sever ance of relations without further waiting, remained undiScloSed.

ROAD TO FORT HuAcHucA.
Two Government Departments Will
 Complete Highway.

The completion of the new army highway from Fort Hua chuca to the western edge of the military reservation, and of the road by the forestry department from here to Camille postotfice, for which all appropriation of $2OOO was announced yesterday by Forest Supervisor Don P. Johnston, will cut off a number of miles on the auto route be- tween Bisbee and Douglas and Nogales, and also make a better route between Tucson and Fort Huachuca, says the Arizona Star.
 The forestry department ap propriated $6OOO some time ago for work on the road from Ca nille to the reservation, with the understanding that the war department would finish the road inside the reservation to the fort. After most of the road had been built, the war department failed to make an allowance for the road, and the forestry depart ment stopped building, leaving about mile of the hardest sec tion to be finished.
 About a week ago the war de- partment announced that there had been an appropriation made of $9OOO for the completion of it's share of the road, and in order to make complete the remaining gap of a mile, the forestry de- partment has made an extra ap- propria tion of $2OOO, which was announced yesterday by Super visor Johnston.
 Work will be started imme- diately on both forestry and mill itary sections of the road and it is expected that it will be com pleted within a short time. It in the mountains above Fort Huachuca and some of the con struction work will be very diff ficult.
 The new road will connect at the west and with a frst-class road from Nogales and Patago- nia, and also with the road from Tucson This makes a. direct road both from Nogales and Tue son into the fort and will be very handy for auGoists from Tucson who have been obliged to go along further east on the state highway before turning into the fort road, which made hard grades for the machines.
 It will also make a direct road from Bisbee and Douglas to Mo- gales, and autoists who have been obliged to make wide de tour to the north along the state highway can go directly through to Camille and thence to Nogales.
 Supervisor Johnston. of the Coronado forest, regards it as one of the most useful roads in the whole forest reserve and is much pleased over the plan of cooperation between the two de- partments in getting the road.

prohibits the sale of liquors, to order, purchase or cause intoxl- eating liquors to be transported from any other state to his state, except for scientific, sacrament al, medicinal or mechanical pur- poses. Under this provision of the law no intoxicating liquors of any kind, except for scientific, sacramental, medicinal or me- chanical purposes, can be ship ped into the state of Arkansas. Any person who orders liquor to be sent to him from any other state, whether he orders it through the mails, or otherwise, violates thls provision of the law. It may not be known to many that the mere ordering of intoX- icating liquors from this state, whether by word of mouth, or by the hand of another person, or through the mails, subjects him to the punishment provided by law, a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars, or imprlson- not exceeding six months, or both, for the first otfense; and a fine not exceeding one year, or both, for any subsequent of- lenses. Even if the purchase IS made in the other state where 1t is lawful to sell intoxicating liuuors. if a person has it trans ported or transports it into this state, he violates the law.
 A person who brings into the state any liquor from any other state, although it may be in his valise, which he carries with him, or even if he carries it in his pocket, no matter how small the quantity may be, is subject to punishment under this act.
 Many people seem to be under the impression that they can bring a bottle of liquor into the state from another state if they carry it in valise or suit case 0, on their person. but under this new act they may not do SO without subjecting themselve: to the penalties prescribed by the law"

The New U. 5. Liquor Law Now Effective in Arh-
 anSaS.

In view of the fact that there has been appearantly a dlsposl- tion to disregard the liquor laws of the state of Arkansas by some people, the new U. s. laws which became effective July lst Will be of interest to the general pubic.
 The penalties as named by the Federal law are very severe and if there are those who think they can "get by" Uncle Sam with a slight punishment they have another think coming.
 This new law prohibits the depositing in any postoffice, or the mailing of any letter, postal card, circular, newspaper, pamphlet or publication of any kind containing any adyertse- ment of spurious, Vinous, malt ed, fermented or other lntoXlcat- ing liouors of any kind, or con- taining 8 solicitation of an order, or orders, for liquors; and any person violating the act may be indicted, either in the district where he deposited the letter or circular, or in the district to which it is carried. Thus a per son mailing such a letter or cir ,ular in the state of Missouri tc avperson in Arkanc1- may be in- 4icted in either state for doing so.
 The next provision of this act, and this is one to which we de sire to call special attention, makes it an offense for any per.
 on in state where the law
