Associated Pressl

JUAREZ, Mexico. Jan 1S.-Late arrivals from Mexico declare that strong anti-American feeling is spreading throughout the entire country, and pro-German sentiment springing up, which is being fostered alike by both Germans and MeXi cans.

PREMIER LEVINE IS NOT PLEASED
 WITH TR0TZKY
lASS0ciated BrnSSl


 STOCKHOLM, Jan. 18.-A split in the leadership of the Bolsheviki ele- ment is said to be imminent at this time. on account of the jealousy of Premier Lenine of the attention that Foreign Minister Trotzky is reeciv- ing from the Russians. These two leaders are declared to be on the verge of a break, which is expected to occur at any time.
 Lenine is reported to be very much displeased because Trotzky occupies the public eye and is receiving more notice than his chief. He has also angry because Trotzky has ceased to consult him regarding the foreign policy of the nation, but formulates policies of his own and carries them out as far as Is possible.
 Lenine is said to have decided to resign his position as premier. and will thus force vote of confidence which he thinks will restore his wan ing prestige. Friends of both men are seeking to arrange their differ ences so that a public break can be avoided if possible.
