MEX|CANS CHANGE
 ID AMERICAN

LAREDO, Texas, Aug. 23.-A prom ica City who is spending a few days in this city on business in an inter- view, stated that a great change had come over the people of Mexico within the past few weeks and that now sen timent in favor of the United States and the allies in the world war. can be heard in favor of Germany, but now conditions are fast being re- versed.
 The most potent factor in bringing about this reversal of sentiment, stated the American, are the Mexican neWspapermen who recently made an extensive tour of the United States and were shown through all the in- duStrial plants of this country, were taken to the army and naval stations and saw what was being done, visiteS the various big cities and points of interest of the country, and were ac- corded many hospitalities by the Americans, including an audience with President Wilson at the White House. These editors have returned to Mexico. and since that time through the medium of their newspa- pers and magazines are enlightening the Mexican people on the actual con- ditions prevailing in the United States and the advisability of the Mexican people aligning themselves with this country and meriting their good will and assistance. The Mexican govern ment apparently approves the propa- ganda of the Mexican editors in favor of the United States, for so far no pro- test has been made against any of the many American articles that have appeared.

Chaplin and Dana at the Hip

Viola Dana and Charlie Chaplin di- vide honors at the Hip today for the final times in two different bills, Chaplin Who Got Stung.' and Dana in Edgar Franklyn's sparkling maga zine story done to pictures under the title of Opportunity
 It was one of the most widely read tales of it's season and lends itself readily to pictures with this sprite of a girl in the part of the wealthy tom boy who goes to a prize fight, is caught in the net of the police raid and finds herself clad in man about towns pajamas in his apartments where he has taken her in the belief that she is handsome boy
 A fool detective with a fool idea al most wrecks the good name of this girl and the telling of the story gives Dana the greatest chance she has had since Blue Jeans"
 With Dana is seen Charlie Chaplin in comedy of his own inimitable style entitled Who Got Stung."
 Tomorrow comes "The Ordeal of Rosetta" with Alice Brady and a smashing western picture. The Trail of No Return" with Neal Hart.

MAR|COPA MUST GET 455 MEN ID
 FILL LABOR QUOTA

Now is the time that the man be- hind must take up his part of the work of whipping the Germans. We must all work with and for the men at the front or the front connot be main tained There is a very urgent call for workers and Maricopa county will be required to do her share, lets make sure that it will come across with its part of the labor program in the same splendid way it has more than filled it's quota of fighting men,"
 These are the views of C. Warren Peterson, the chairman of the commu- nity labor board who has just been ad- viSed by the United States bureau that Maric0pa county must supply 455 men, unskilled laborers, who are ready and willing to do their share toward win- ming the war.
 There is a call throughout the coun- try for help to do all sorts of war work The government needs men at home just as much as Pershing needs men at the front The generals of the great American industrial armies which are building ships under Schwab. producing airplanes under John J. Ryan and getting out the needed supplies in all parts of the
 
 ant work as anyone More men are needed for these tasks which make possible the maintenance of a splendid fighting force and of the number now necessary 455 must be secured from this county. In order that every will ing worker may register without trou ble, Chairman Peterson of the labor ! board has appointed a number of agents in different parts of the county These agents will be prepared to list all those who will volunteer. The government will not take men away 1 from farms, mines and railroads these industries are essential to the win ming of the war and are the first to be listed as exempt.
 There are many workers who will welcome this chance to offer their able services to the cause of democracy. If opportunities for work are made at distant points, the government will ar range to transport those who wish to 1 go. All of this work and this regis tration is voluntary. No one is com pelled to register and no one is com i pelled to go to work outside the dis trict under the regulations now issued. But there are many Americans who will welcome this opportunity to ren- der service, to do their part. to as i sist in winning the war | The agents appointed by the chair man of the county labor board are as follows

TO THE LIMIT SL0GANF FOURTH
 LIBERTY LOAN

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 23.-After attending a national Liberty loan con ference of publicity directors in Wash ington as well as seven state confer onces on the coming loan, George A. Van Smith, manager of publicity for the Twelfth Federal Reserve district. has returned convinced that every man, woman and child must loan to the utmost if the country is properly to back the governments "Win-the- War Quickly program.
 Rich and poor must save, save now and keep on doing tiff we are to sup port our army that is over there and the army that must go in the next few months to make certain that the bal ance of man power is on our side. says Van Smith. Approximately one half of the net income of the nation for the next r months must be loaned to the government. That is income after the payment of taxes and this means that the heavier burden must fall on those with the most money.
 The shipbuilding program must be continued to enable the United States to retain the foreign trade foothold the war has given us. The national war program and the post war eX- penditures require $24000 100000 for the fiscal year ending next June. About $15. O00, 900 900 must be borrowed and generally the country is ready.
 Greatest Ever Attempted
 The fourth loan will be a greater thing than the world ever attempted and it must be subscribed. As to states outside of California in this district the managers of the Oregon campaign purpose to put over the oregon cam paign in three days and they believe it can be done without solicitation. The state of Washington committee be- lieves the campaign will require not to exceed week.
 "The educational period for the loans has passed. It has resolved itself into meeting duty on the exact terms of that duty and this can be done without any form of the real sacrifice that the people of England. France and Bel gium have had to make. Such sacri- flee as the American people have to make will be made in profits
