Asks Congress to
 Disapprove Export
 of Arms to Mexico

Washington, July 30.-Congress would declare itself opposed to expor' tation into Mexico of arms or muni' tions of war, under resolution in- troduced today by Representative Hudspeth, democrat, Texas.
 The resolution asserts that inas- much as the existing embago on ship ments of arms into Mexico permits certain exceptions, congress should gc on record as opposing any exportation whatever.
 President Wilson, through a pro. clamation made public several days ago, directed no arms or munitions of any kind should be sent into Mexico except under, $. such limitations as might be prescribed by the secretary of state.
 The Hudspeth resolution was drop ped into the bill clerks basket with out comment and referred to commit tee for consideration. Action on it before the house recess beginning next Saturday seems improbable, but during the vacation the inquiry into Mexican affairs will be continued by the house rules committee.
 William Gates of Baltimore, archae- ologist, will resume his testimony be- fore the committee next Friday.
 Representative Hudspeth, comment ing on his resolution, said that it was aimed to prevent arms from being sent to the Carranza forces.

HAUBER THEATRE.

If you were woman and after several years of happily married life you discovered that your hus- band had again submitted to the fas- cination of an evil woman who had controlled and almost ruined him be- fore he had even met you, what would you do? If you were man who had married a woman much younger than yourself and you suddenly were given what you considered irrefut- able evidence that your wife had re- newed an affection which she had possessed for your nephew before her marriage to you, what would you do? These are two of the questions which require answering and which are answered in most unusual fash in "Her Mistake" the new photo drama which, with Evelyn Nesbit as its star, will be presented at the Hauber theatre today.
 Russell Thaw, her young and gifted son, who gives great promise of blossoming into starship himself at no long distant period, has role of importance in the new picture, and others included in the numerous and skillfully selected supporting company are such we'll known screen favorites as Lois Meredith, Eugene Strong and Charles Wellesley.

SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE WILL
 CUT WAR TAXES
Penrose Calls Meeting to Dis cuss Modification of War
 Revenue Act.

Washington, July 3O.-Formula- tion of definite policy on legislation modifying various provisions of the war revenue act of 1918, against
 which protests have been received from various parts of the country, will be discussed at meeting tomor- row of the senate finance committee. The call for the meeting was issued by Chairman Penrcse late today fol- lowing hearings on house bills re- pealing the soda water tax substitut- ing tax of two cents a gallon on fruit juice beverage for the present ten per cent. gross sales tax.
 In addition to the two bills now pending before the senate committees which certain republican senators regard as "pop-gun legislation, pro- posals have been made in the house looking to the repeal of the luxury taxes as we'll as certain of the excise taxes, especiall ythose relating to im- ports on candy, sporting goods and furs. Senate leaders, it is under stood, feel that the question as to how far congress is to go in this matter should be determined at once. Owing to the house recess Satur- day for more than a month, mem- .ters of the senate committee said to- right the cOmittee would take no final action upon the soda water and fruit juice tax bills before Septem- Der at least.
 The committee tomorrow may dis cuss the question of tariff legisla- tion to some extent, although senate Republican leaders believe that it would be unwise to take any action at this time owing to abnormal busi- ness conditions.

Paris, July 30.-It is expected in French circles that the discussion of the German peace treaty will open about August 10 in the chamber of deputies and will continue for three or four days. There will then be a three or four day discussion in the senate.
 As Japan is supposed to have a copy of the treaty by this time, and the emperor's ratification is expect ed at an early date, French officials are of the opinion that the treaty will become effective when the French ratify about August 20 England al ready has ratified the treaty and the signatures of only three great pow CTS are necessary to make it effec- tive.

Alexandria, founded by the worlti conqueror, Alexander the Great, is all Egyptian city that is eager to lose its connection with the faraway past and become completely modernized. Fate has favored this ambition, for the won- tlers that Cleopatra knew have been eaten by fire or swept away by the sea. Alexandria is city of trade and fashion, dominated by prosperous Eu- ropeans too deeply absorbed in the stock exchange to be even vaguely in- tsrested in the romantic side of their city.
