CONGRESS TO ACT
IN MEXICAN CRISIS
Senator Fall Declares Carranza Gov
eminent Aids I. w. w.
Propagandists.

WASHINGTON, Dee 3.-Legislative at
tentlon will be given in an effective man
ner to the Mexican crisis.
Senator Fall IN. NJ, chairman of the
foreign relations subcommittee, which has
been investigating Mexican matters. an
nounced yesterday that he expected to in
.troduce resolution this week defining
the attitude of the senate toward Mex
leo. He indicated that it will not go 50
far as to declare sor intervention, but add
ed that it will be likely to lift the lid on
Mexico"
The subcommittee, Senator Fall de.
clared, had absolute evidence that the
Carranza government has been giving SIM
port to the dissemination of I. w. W.
propaganda both in the United States and
in Mexico. Matter printed in both Eng
lish and Spanish is being circulated in
both countries calculated to arouse the
radical elements and to incite troubles,
especially along the border. Circulars Of
this kind are in the possession OF the
committee, printed in red. or with splotch-
es of red on them, designed to incite up
risings and encourage trouble
From the little Senator l'all was willing
TO say regarding the evidence he had ac
cumulated with the assistance Of govern
ment secret service agents it was appar
ent that ono motive the Red groun had
in creating trouble between the United
States and Mexico was the hope of plung
ing this country into a war with the
tarranza government which would keer

NEW YORK, Dee. 3.-Fixed prices

Arthur Williams, food administrator,
has issued memorandum permitting
retail dealers "to sell as much sugar
as they can secure at an advance of one
cent q. pound over the actual cost. /"
The order applies to. Louisiana, Bra
lillian, Javanese and other sugars, some
of which are now selling retail for as
high as % cents a pound.
Because of the scarcity of Cuban SUI

effect of stabilizing the market on 9th.

certain guests, in the salons OF France,
not aware of the higher acts of cour-

to the host or hostess. The practice
spread to society in this country.
Therefore, if man left without say

BIG DEMAND FOR
AUTO MECHANICS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-One of
the most popular occupations for
which disabled soldiers are being
trained by the federal board for vo-
cational education is that of auto
mechanics, and those who take and
finish the course have no difficulty
in finding steady employment at re-
munerative wages. There are many
opportunities in the motor industry;
the calls for competent men greatly
exceed the supply, and probably will
continue to exceed the number of
available men for some years at
least.
Another development or special
ized branch of this training is that
of the operation, care and repair o.
farm tractors and farm machinery
generally. This is affordlng boys
who have teen rasied on the farms
a chance to become specialists in
line which is steadily growing, for
all indications are that the age of
machinery and labor-saying appli-
ances on the farms is right at hand
Tractor operators are in good de-
mand, especially on the large prairie
wheat farms of the northwest.
The federal board for vocational
education at Washington is anxious
to correspond with any disabled sol
diers or sailors or members of the
families of such men. Even if he
has gone out in civil life and at
tempted to make his living without
special training, and finds his handi-
caps too much for him, he is still
entitled to this special training by
the government absolutely free, and
is given a support fund of So per
month while he is in training, with
the practical certainty of position
being ready for him when he has
finished his course and is compe-
tent to take on the work and a
first-class salary

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA table

stood last, with 5,1O5 in the total
of 3,757,624 ben obtained by draft,

furnished ran very closely, the table
shows, to the obligation of the states
making their quotas proportionate to
their population.
The figures are compiled up to
November 18th. Texas was fif,h,
with 1906; Oklahoma, sixteenth,

TO those in the allied countries who
