YANKEE TRAITS ARE SUSPECTED
 CAUSE OF PRICES

PARIS.-The attitude of the French population toward the Amer jeans today is in the highest degree friendly. There is, however, a fac tor which holds unpleasant possi- bilities and which comes into play in regions occupied by the Ameri- cans. That is the belief in the mind of the non-commercial French population that the sharp rise in the cost of living is chiefly due to the prodigality of the American troops.
 The rise in the cost of living in France has been 40 per cent in the zone of the interior and 55 ger cent in the zone of the armies, since the beginning of 1917.
 In cantonments where the .meri- cans represent only small pro- portion of the population the in crease is sometimes so mall as to be barely perceptible. But N'Lere Americans are found in 'reat nr m- bers the increased prices have reach ed a point which the auth orities term as "anguishing" and xhrh pro- yoke among the non-commc :, ial population a sharp discontent. The American Committee Jn Pub lie Information, of which James Kerney is the director in France, has made an investigation of the matter and it has come to the con- clusion that there are three reasons for the rise in the cost of living in the regions occupied ny American troops. They are:
 The normal interplay of supply and demand.
 The desire on the part of trades people for immoderate gains. The prodigality of Americans, The French authorities are con- sidering vigorous application of the law which provides punishment for unjustifiable extortion.
 The authorities are seriously con- cerned at the possibility that the Americans may carry away from France the idea that the typical Frenchman is greedy and indiff- erent "mercanti."
 On the other hand, the American Committee on Public Information has suggested to the American au- thorities that they cooperate with the French in keeping down the cost of living as much as is possible. It has been suggested that Ameri- can action might profitably be di- rected at once to a reduction in the prodigality of the troons

MEX|CANS GIVE
 WORKERS SCARE
 SOUTH OF LINE

LAREDO, TeXas-Because five American employees of British and American oil companies in the gulf oil fields of Mexico have been mur- dered within six weeks, while two others have been seriously wounded, the other employees of those com panies threaten to strike unless pro- tection is afforded them. This in formation comes from travellers who have just returned here from Tam pico.
 After the first four of the mur ders, the travellers say, the oil en- ployes held a meeting and formu- lated their demand for protection and threat to go on strike unless it was provided. A representative of the oil interests was sent to Wash ington but the result of the mission was unknown in Tampico when the travellers left the city.
 Four of the murders referred to, according to fragmentary reports that have been published, were con- mitted at the same time, June 3O, at LaCaJeta, a point near Tampico, where is situated a terminal of the Mexican Gulf Oil company. The vic tims were: L. A. Dunn, Oklahoma City; R. M. Cooper, Portland. Ore ; L. R. Willard, Beaumont, Tex; AL fred Esparcia, San Francisco, Cal. In addition a Mexican employee of the company, Natiwaid Flores, of Tampico, was killed by the same
 bandits, when they robbed the com pany's office at La Cajeta of 1O,- 900 pesos.
 The fifth murder was committed July ol, at Iepetate, south of Tam plco, and claimed the life of A. W. Stevenson, cashier of the Texas Oil company. Stevenson was murdered when he refused to turn over the company's funds to the bandits. The third payroll robbery, which resulted in the serious wounding of J. Il. Brooks and Charles Horsman. occurred June 28, in the Panuco river region. The two men, field employees ofthe Aguila Oil company have just been discharged from the hospital at Tampico. They were shot several times and hacked with machets.
 According to the travellers stories foreigners in the oil region are forced to perform their work in isolated regions without protection,
The Nenana daily news., 1918-09-19

not being permitted to carry arms, In many of these outlying districts, they say, there is much anti Ameri- can feeling, which is constantly in famed by German agents.
 Except for one weekly paper in Tampico, published in English, there are no pro-Ally publications in the oil regions, the field being monopo- lized by pro-German sheets. It is extremely difficult, according to the travellers, to get the real facts of the oil region situation into print.
 The Mexican government troops, they assert, contrary to official statements, have not succeeded in subduing Manuel Pelaez, the rebel leader reported allied with the forces of Felix Diaz, and Pelaez still con- inues to levy tribute on the com panies south of Tampico, driving away any government troops that might attempt to hinder his oper- ations.

WILL TAX HIGH SPEED AUTOS
TO DEATH.
Bill Before Legislature That WIN
Break Up Speeding.

A bill designed to discourage the
purchase and use of high-speed
automobiles has been prepared by
Senator Oliver Metzerott, Of Prince
Georges county. 1t provides for a
tax, increasing annually, upon all
motor vehicles of "a speed capacity
Of over 35 miles per hour, which is
the present lawful limit of motor
operation, within the State of Mary
land. Beginning with the year.
all new cars with a.speed of over -
miles per hour are to be taxed $50,
and this tax is to increase $50 an
aually for period of 10 years until
it has reached the prohibitiye rate
Of $500 per annum.
The act is designed to influence
purchasers against buying new cars
with a capacity to travel at a rate
beyond the lawful limit, it being the
authors idea that itsis impossible to
properly enforce the present very
reasonable and liberal speed reguia-
ions so long as there are thousands
Of cars operating upon the highways
expressly designed to have the
ability to violate the law.
In this way it is hoped to force ali
motor traffic into observances of the
law at all times, and theirin, in a
large measure, eliminate the great
number of tragedies due to speeding
and make the highways safe for the
use and enjoyment of the public.

1918 Maryland Registration Tags

The Commissioner of Motor We
hicles reports that two carloads OF
1918 registration tags have been
lost in shipment, and therefore it
will be impossible for him to supply
any tags, other than those delivered
to motorists prior to December 31st,
1917, until these shipments have
oeen received by him.
In the meantime every motorist
must make application for 1918 tags
at once, the 1918 registration
CERTIFICATE will then be sent,
which, when carried in the car, in
conjunction with the 1917 registra-
tion TAGS, on the front and rear of
the car, will permit motorists to
operate without being subject to ar
rest.

Wants New Game Laws.

will endeavor to have a number of

The State Game Warden has set
forth the difficulty Of preserving the

the new laws enacted The measures
include:
A Statewide Hunting and Fishing
