MExICO's ATTITUDE

A few days ago, newspaper staff

ment that Carranza was lining M

zuela Is opening up direct trade rela-
lions with Texas and other American
points. II being SOW to look like
much OF the apparents strained rela-
lions between the United States and
Mexico IL special propaganda sent out
by somebody that wants TO bring on
trouble. or course we all feel that
Carranza has been antaeonistic to-
ward this country and that he was
so. because of the poisonous influence
of Germany, but he must know that
now, he could In no wise stand up
against any sort OF American dem
onstration. He ouht to know that
friendship and cooperation with this
country will sooner bring prosperity
and stability TO Mexico, and we are
slow to believe that he is seeking a
belligerent alliance to oppose us
There may yet develop spirit of
greed here with purpose to encroach
on Mexico with demands for rights
and concession that would breed re-
sentiment and lead up to n breag OF
relations, in order to base an excuse
for Intervention. Such a movement, #
existent. is not in the mind Of our
government. but is being nurtured
by ambitious eXploiters who have
covetous eyes on the undeveloped re
sources of Mexico.

Power machinery has been taking

time has permitted more intensive

BIG FIRE LOSS
HELD Due XMAS
Tree TRIMMING
Members Of Two Families Living
at 1914 Thirteenth Avenue, Near.
y Trapped Last Evening.

Damage amounting to about
seven hundred dollars was caused
by fire at $40 o'clock last evening
to a two-story dwelling at 1914
Thirteenth avenue, owned by H. F.
Paulsen and occupied by the fam
lilies OF E. Radell and H. A.
Schocker.
The fire was started around a
Christmas tree and got big start
before a call was received by the
Rock Island fire department.
The Radell family lives on the
first floor of the dwelling and it
was in their apartments that the
Are started. according to the re-
port Of Assistant Fire Chief JOS
eph Valentine.
An attempt was made to light a
Christmas tree in the front part
Of the home that was strung with
electric lights. A fuse had blown
out and a member Of the family
had lighted a match to locate the
trouble. The match fell into cot
ton that had been strewn about the
foot Of the tree and fire resulted.
Telephone calls were put in to
the fire department but the No. 2
station on Seventh avenue and
Thirty-fourth street, and the No. 5
station on Ninth street and Eigh-
teenth avenue were given the
wrong location. The call was re-
ceived by them to Tenth avenue,
between Twelfth and Fourteenth
streets.
However. the central company
got the call to the correct location
and was soon on the scene.
When the first fire truck arrived
smoke and flames were pouring out
at a great rate. Mrs. Radeli had
succeeded in making her way out
the rear door Of the home with her
two children. and was none to
soon, she told the firemen. Neigh
bOrs told Assistant Fire Chief VAL
entine that a woman was trapped
in the upstairs rooms. This was
Mrs. Schocker, and while the fire.
men were scrambling for their lad
ders they saw the woman coming
down on a ladder that neighbOr
had thrown up against the house.
The fire was extinguished after
about three hundred dollars dam
age was done to the personal prop
erty Of the Radell family and about
four hundred dollars damage to
the dwelling. The fire was con-
fined to the first floor
