Okmulgee, Okla. = Twenty-one gray
wolves, the largest pack reported in
Oklahoma in years, was rounded up
recently twelve miles northeast of
Beggs, Okla, by ]. A. Scott and Boyce

nineteen partly grown pups in the pack.
Dogs ran the pack to earth, and the
mother wolves killed two of the dogs
before the hunters came up. The old
wolves and several of the younger ones
had TO be killed before the hunters
rould take some of the pups alive.

United States has no legal concern, but
inasmuch as 1t assumed control over
the situation under the Monroe doc
trine 1t will exert its diplomatic infiu-
ence to see that these claims are paid.
American and English capital to the
amount of 81 100000 is invested in
Mexico, and in the last three years the
revolutions have damaged the mines
and oil wells, in addition to piling
up claims for the loss of lives of for
eigners.
Mexico needs money badly not only
to begin payment on these claims, but
to re-establish her domestic affairs.
The new ambassador from Mexico to
this country, Ignacio Bonillas, fully
explained the financial needs Of his
country to President Wilson, when he
was received here recently.
Since then this government has been
considering advancing loan to Mexi-
co. A member of the administration
expresses the opinion that Mexico will
readily obtain loan through the In
fiuence of this government as soon as
Investigations by Ambassador Fletcher
satisfy President Wilson that stable
government exists. No other country
will consider loan to Mexico, and
this government will not aid Mexico
financially until q stronger government
is set up.

Washington. - Claims against the
Mexican government from American
citizens for loss of lives and property
amount to $475,0O0.000, and those Of
foreign governments filed with the
state department bring the total against
the southern republic to more than
$1,000, 100000.
These claims have been piling up for
the last two years, and it is believed
those now presented to the state de-
partment represent about all of the
valid ones. AS more stable govern

can citizens and foreign governments
are pressing their demands for pay

of the men present, and that many
boys, in his belief, might be saved
from going to the devil' by little
more understanding of their sons on
the part of fathers.
The Y. NJ G. A., DR.. Kellogg de-
clared, is one of the best institutions
that there is for a boy and that, in.
stead of saving money for his son to
inherit, man should put it into his
sons earlier days and the boy, when
he became man, would have money
of his own to spend wisely instead of
money saved for him by the fond
parent" not one dollar of which he
was fit to spend.
DR.. Kellogg showed fully, but in
brief, the extent of the work being
accomplished by the Y. NJ G. A. over
the country and terminated his ad-
dress by declaring that every man,
no matter how busy, should look to
his sons future by starting him with
a membership in the Y. NJ. C. A.
where there is plenty of good, clean,
wholesome recreation.

by Delegates Jerom Jones and J. A.
Miller, Of Atlanta, and J. A. Mccain,

olution reads:
Whereas. the Pres11ent of the

means within his power to keep this
country from becoming involved in
the world-war; and,
Whereas, AS a last resort he was
compelled to request the Congress of
the United States to declare that a
state of war exists between the United
States and the German Imperial Gov
ernment caused by the inhuman acts
and utter disregard for international
law by that government.
Therefore, Be it Resolved, That the
Georgia Federation of Labor in con-
vention assembled considers that the
course Of the president and congress
was the only way to preserve the
honor and freedom of the United
States, and that this body heartily
endorses the action OF the president
and congress in declaring state of
war.
And Be it Further Resolved That

large number of ladies formed the
prominent auditors. George Kill

OF the Georgia Federation of Labor.
AS previously announced Jerome
Jones, the ncstor of Unionism in

for. the evening and his hearers were
not at all disappointed when in his
pecullarly musical voice he presented
the principles of his organization and
drew the parallel with the aims of re-
liglon. His long service in the cause
of labor has made Mr.. Jones the rec
ognized spokesman in Georgia and
the manner with which he presented
his case fully justified his selection.
DR.. Dobbs followed the speaker
with fc'v remarks on the relevance
of cooperation on the part of the
church with the aim of labor unions
and made strong biblical reference on
the dignity of labor The evening was
