WASHINGTON ACTS ON
REPORTED JAP INTRUSION
u. S. Questions Mexico on Grants OF
Land-BeIieved American
Company Robbed.

Washington, April 1.-The American
embassy at Mexico City was instructed
to make inquiries concerning the re-
port that the Mexican government has
granted agricultural concessions to
Japanese in Lower California, and to
report the facts as quickly as posi-
BILE.
No official information has reached
the department about the concessions
and surprise was OccaSioned by the
dispatch from Mexico City quoting
General Amado Augirre, undersecre-
tary of development and agriculture,
saying they had been granted.
The American government is inter
ested both because of the apparent
success of the Japanese in obtaining
long-sought foothold in Lower Cali
fOrnia, and because the tract of land
involved was developed and is claimed
by an American company whose rights
were declared forfeited by the Next
can government in 1917.

| RANKS WITH WORLDS GREAT
Achievements of Sir Isaac Newton
Give Him an Assured Place
Among Immortals.

According to a legend, which, how
ever, is seriously considered by certain
authorities, in the year 1868, the falf
of an apple as Newton sat in his
garden suggested the most magnificent
of his subsequent discoveries-the law
of universal gravitation. On his hrst
attempt to explain the lunar and planet
airy motions, he employed an estimate
then in use of the radius of the earth
which, based on the value of degree
of latitude then prevalent, was so er-
roneous as to produce discrepancy
between the real force of gravity and
that required by theory to explain the
motions and indicated only an approx.
mate verification Of his theory. Ac-
cOrdingly, he abandoned for number
of years the hypothesis that homo
geneous attracting sphere behaved as
if all matter was concentrated at it's
center, and took up other studies, con-
siSting chiefly of Investigations of the
nature of light and the construction OF
telescopes. He also propounded new
theories on light and color. Newton
died March 20, 1927 Gold style), and
his remains were inferred in West

Whiskers Reappearinq.

A noticeable feature in masculine
appearance is the increasing fashion
of whiskers. At present they are only
small affairs of the Albert variety,
made popular by the prince consort.
The whisker is no longer than two
fingers breadth, but there is no telling
what dimensions these side products
of the war may assume.
1t is an army fashion, just as boards
were an after-growth of the Crimea.
The present whisker originated among
officers whose right arm, stiff or i'm
paired through wounds, cannot be
raised easily to the level of the ear,
and so prevents a clean shave to the
top of the check.-LondOn Chronicle.

 My Fellow Countrymen:
 Memorial Day wears this year an added significance, and I wish if only by message, to take part with you in it's observation and in expressing the sentiments which it inevitably sug- gests. In observing the day we com memorate not only the reunion of our own country but also now the liber- ation of the world from one of the most serious dangers to which free government and the free life of men were ever exposed, We have buried the gallant. and now immortal men who died in this great war of libera ton, with a new sense of consecration. Our thoughts and purposes now are ,onsecrated to the maintenance of the liberty of the world and of the union of it's people in single com radeship of liberty and of right. It was for this that our men conscien- tiously offered their lives They came to the field of battle with the high spirit and pure heart of Crusaders. We must never forget the duty that their sacrifice tSis laid upon us of fulfill ing their hopes and their purpose to the utmost This, it seems to me, is the impressive lesson, and the inspir- ing mandate of the day,
