TO STIR UP TROUBLE
Mexican General Saw Thru thinner
mann PIot-Obregon in Chicago.

Chicago, Oct. 1O.-The scheme of
German Foreign Secretary thinner
mann to involve Japan and Mexico
in an alliance with Germany against
the United States was regarded in
Mexico as only German intrigue
to stir up trouble"
That was the declaration today of
General Aware Obregon, former Mex
lean minister of war, who was here
today en- route to Washington
I have met Won Eckhardt, the Ger
man charge, who was the go-between
in the affair."" said Obregon. He inn
pressed me as a gentleman, but did
not approach me regarding intrigue.
He was never intimate with General
Carranza.
Obregon7 said the Mexican govern
ment had retired practically all the
worthless paper currency and in the
last few months had burned $5OOr00O,-
600 worth of it. He denied he was
here to negotiate a loan for Mexico.
Oregon and his party planned to
visit the officers training camp at
Fort Sheridan today.

by the efficiency of the third. The
railroa@g in this district of the southz

heavy demands for military service, by
reason of the large number of canton

Operating officials must have the

Freight traffic men re in a position
to render valuable assistance by reason
of their extensive acquaintance with
the users of transportation The
propaganda which has been carried
on under the direction of International

public mind receptive to the conserva-

results can be accomplished only by
bringing to the attention of RESPONSE

Desiring to do our bit to help Amer

themselves the task of finding misuse
of cars by light loading and detention,
and taking the actual cases to the

Examine station records to get the
