MEX|CANS PROTEST OPERATION IF OWN
 ACRAR|AN STATUTE
TRepublican A. P. Leased wirel

DOUGLAS, Aug. 13.-Complaint against operation of the Sonora agra rian law which proposes to break up the large estates of the state and will affect at a conservative estimate, two- thirds of the states area. does not center among foreigners. Native land owners denounce the law even more strongly than do the foreign holders.
 The law would allow one person to hold no more than 50 hectares CPS acres) of land in the communal zone around municipalities, no more than 100 hectares of irigable land outside that that zone; no more than 300 hec- tares of dry farming lands nor more than 10000 hectares for stock grazing purposes.
 The law would mean breaking up of individual holdings without proper compensation, Mexican land holders assert, and number of them have banded together to take steps in Mex ico City to have the national govern ment nullify the state legislatures ac- tion The stock men allege that ap- proximate1y % hectares of grazing land are required for one animal per year.
 Propaganda directed against the law is appearing in Mexico City papers. Fl Universal of August s contained q long editorial deneHncing the law. The paper after reviewing the act. said that if was a legislative blunder in the direction Of arriving at the real meaning of Article 27 Of the federal constitution. The Sonora Legislature is contradicting natural laws and try ing 10 bring about a mirable by pen and ink, thus to change the habits of the world and organize collective forces for social betterment"

FL, PAso, Tex, Aug. is.-of- ficers at the aviation field here and at military headquarters were much concerned tonight over the fate of l-ieutenants H. c. Peterson and Paul F Davis, American army aviators believed to be lost on ti1e desert south Of Presidio, Texas. The two avistors left Maria, Tex. early Sunday morning to patrol the Big Bend border. Nothing has been heard of them since. Other army aviators have secuted in the country south of the border but no trace of the missing fIiers or their planes could be found.
 The generaIly accepted theory for their crossing the border IS that they nistook the Conchos river for the Rio Grande and pro ceeded into the interior of Chihua hua, thinking they were flying along the American bank of the Rio Grande. As the country south of Presidio is desert, with few water holes, it is felt the avIators were fcirced to land when their gasoline was exhausted and lost their way in the desert. Mexican troops are searching for the avia tors below Ojinaga, by order of Gen. Manuel Dieguez, division commander.

capitoI not officiaIIy Advised

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Although the state department has not been ap- preached with a view of learning whether Kiiuro Shidehara. vice minis ter for foreign affairs in the Japanese cabinet would be persona grata to the United States government as successor to Niscount lshii as ambassador to Washington, 1t was learned officially tonight that the vice minister occupied the leading position among those being considered for the post. It has been believed here for some time that Wis count Ishii would not return to Wash ington because of political changes in the composition of the Japanese cab met.
 Any statement that Mir Shidehara had been appointed ambassador it was announced, would be premature inas- much as the state department had not been advised The feeling of Premier Hara that the vice mi1ister could .no1 be spared from the cabinet at this time is understood to be an obstacle to his immediate appointment
 Mir Shidehara was formerly coun- sellor of the embassy here and during the early years Of the war was min ister to The Hague.
