More Than 1000 U. s. Citizens Threatened With Loss of
 Millions.
STATE DEPARTMENT PROTESTS NEW LAW
Under Mexican Statute Owners Would Receive Worthless Bonds, or Can Sell on Twenty-Year
 Plan.

Washington, July 31.-More than a. thousand Americans are threatened with loss of millions of dollars in in- acted by the congress of Sonora Mexico, at the direct instructions of Governor Gales.
 Several American companies have already filed complaints with the state department against the opera tion of this law.
 The department is preparing re- presentations to the Carranza gov ernment against putting the law into operation because of injustices this government contends it works upon United States citizens who have in- vested many millions in agricultural lands in Sonora.
 By the terms of the law, it is pro- vided that the state will pay for lands appropriated with agrarian bonds is- sued by the state, redeemable at a time and manner to be stipulated later. The new constitution of Mex icon provides that the states shall is- sue agrarian bonds under authority of law that has not yet been enacted by the federal congress.
 The Americans point out in their complaints to the state department that these bonds are of no value and inasmuch as the national government of Mexico has not paid the interest on it's bonds since 17913, there is no indication that the agrarian bonds will be of any valuee.
 The alternative for the American holders of these lands is to sell them to Mexicans and take pay in twenty annual installments of Mexican money. Any dispute is to be left in the hands of the Governor, who may act arditarily.
 Americans in their complaints to the state department point out that in order to make much of the lands of Sonora productive, extensive irrigation works are necessary and many mil lions of dollars have been expended there in every instance by citizens of the United States. l The Mexican government encourag- ed the Americans in making invest mcnts. The complaints filed with the state department protest against the arbitrary appropriation of these lands, which, it is contended, means practi- cal confiscatiOn. HAi

Republican Plans To Talk Tariff
 Get a Set-Sack

Washington. July 31.-Plans of re- publicans of the house for the first consideration of tariff measures since they regained control met with an unexpected setback today when pro- tracted debate on several other meas ures that had been given the right of way in the belief that they might be passed quickly, occupied all of the session.
 Along with the tariff bills to fail to get consideration was the measure repeating the wartime legislation per hitting foreign ships to engage in American coastwise trade.

the frankest talk which government officials have heard in a long time came in this connection in the state ment of w. G. Lee, president of the traimen, before the wage and adjust ment board Mr.. Lee told the board that an increase in wages was not the proper solution of the present econo- mic hardships under which working men are laboring, because they would be followed by new increases. in the cost of everything which would more than absorb the additional pay Until all classes get together to stop pro fiteerng" he said, "the only thing for everyone to do is to get all the wages he can, a course which, declared, would result eventually in precipitat ing the 'upheaveP now staring the country in the face"
 Answering questions, MT. Lee said he did not believe in giving any one one class advantages at the expense of another, but said as long as pres ent methods continue, he believed in everybody getting his share. He de- clined to suggest how prices could be reduced, saying the country was pay ing millions of dollars to the men on the hill (capitaD "who are supposed to have all the brains in the coun- try" and they are not acting to stop the increases.

 Asked what would be his opinion as to wage rates based on present food pr.ces, if the price level should de- cline materially. MT. Lee said he did not feel justified in going into the question but asked to be allowed to tell of his experiences in the recent strike at Winnipeg, where he said he found conservative, home-owning members of his organization throw ing away all they had gained in 25 years of membership and joining the general strike, because they said "to hell with all this; we cannot stand it any more.

LABOR STRIKES.

 6. B. 3 COMMERCE
General Unrest May Caus, Downfall of Lloyd George
 Government.
(By The Associated Press.

London, July 31.-The general in- dustrial unrest in Great Britain, which shas been seething ever since the armistice, seems at the present hour to have reached a point which menace the commerce of the country with at least temporary disaster. It is considered possible that it may mean the downfall of the Lloyd George government.
 The strikes of the past month have been serious enough but they are merely symptomatic of an epidemic of dissatisfaction which appears to prevail throughout the ranks of or ganized labor. Half million Lan- cashire cotton operatives were idle for more than three weeks. Two hundred thousand Yorkshire miners have been on strike since July 20. The Liverpool lockers have paralyzed shipping there for two weeks. hold ing up hundreds of ships of all sizes. The bakers have decided to strike on Saturday and now the London police are about to go out on their second strike.
 The worse movement of all, from the government standpoint, is the threat of "direct action by the triple alliance of railway men, miners and transport workers" These powerful uions are taking secret ballot to decide whether they shall use the weapon of a general strike to try to enforce their political program of the standardization of mines and rail- ways, abolition of conschiption and withdrawal from all participation in
 Russian affairs.

My Ideal Leading Man
BY Mary MacLaren

What I want in my leading man
is the thing we prize above all
other charms-personality.
l look for many other qualities,
too-and usually, you will agree, l
have found them. In Frank Mayo,
who played the masculine lead in
THE Amazing Wife," or in Ken
meth Harlan, who did the same serv-
ice in Bread and in Jack Mulhall,
who played "the man" in The
Cracking Stairs you will agree that
nv demands have been we'll salts
Have you good, strong, we'll
cared-for teeth?
Have YOU IN infectious laugh?
Are you well-built-and, Of
course taller than l?
Good eyes?
Do you take your work as an
art? You should, you know.
The leading man of my dreams is
husky without being of the boiler
maker type. He is tall and straight
and lythe-and tapers from the
shoulders down. He has nice hands,
hands that express character end
accomplishment. His physical at
tributes combined with his personal
charm should qualify him for a
leading role anytime, anywhere
with anyone.
