QUEER OLD "MAGIC MIRROR
Been Used by Aztees and
Ancient Mexicans.

Crystal gazing and the use Of magic
mirrors played an important part In
religion and wizartlry In the past, and
though almost every nation lad its
own method these did not vary as
much as 1t would he supposed.
Thus while Japan had in her inner
temples mirrors which only the priest
saw. and which were always to reflect
the good and the beautiful for the
gods. the ancient Mexicans taught
that their god Texcatllpuco had a
magic mirror in which he saw every
thing that happened each day in the
world.
A real obsidian mirror with Its
strange textile string still attached Is
In the British museum now and was
used by the AZtecs and ancient MeXi-
cans for various purposes and very
probably for crystal gnzing. 1t is
much the same as the other crystals
used ny so-called "wizartls," so far rs
it's shape is concerned. Even in recent
years crystal gazing has been prMc.
ticed. and II is said by those who have
tried i that the mirror or crystal
see ms to disappear into a mist after II
has been stared ut in complete sllenc.
for great length Of time. and then
! II ever-the visions appear.

ciines to Express Opinion.

Washington, Aug. 23.-In determ-
ined effort to report the peace treaty
before the end of next week the SEN
ate foreign relations committee sud-
denly interrupted its public hearings
yesterday and arranged to go to work
today on proposed amendments and
reservations. Members thought Mon.
day might be the last herring before
the bill was reported. Senator Hitch
cock of Nebraska, the Democratic
leader, declared his belief that the
report would be laid before the senate
before the end Of the coming week
and asserted that he had been as
sured the Republicans would CO.
operate to that end. Some Republic
can members agreed with his predic-
ton but Chairman Lodge declined to
say when he thought the committee
would act.
To Go Over Plans.
Late yesterday plans to- expedite
the consideration of amendments were
discussed at a conference of Republic
can members of the committee and
they will go over the subject again
tomorrow morning, before the com
mittee session begins. 1t is likely
flat among the first amendments to
be voted will be one to strike out the
articles giving japan control in Shan

tiations resulting in the Shantung
provision was told the committee by
Prof. r. T. Williams, who was techni-
cal adviser to the American peace
delegation. He said he had strongly
objected to the settlement reached
and thought the American delegates
should not have assented to it.

tional Interviews.

New York, Aug. 25.-Germany will
have economic control of Mexico six
months after the peace treaty ratifica-
ton, and within Il few years, unless
the plan is interfered with, will use
Mexico as it's western hemisphere
base of operations in a second attempt
ut world domination, in the opinion
of DR.. P. B. Altendorf, former Amer
lean secret agent in Mexico, as re-
corded In u remarkable interview
with Altendorf made public by the
National Association for the Protec-
ton of American Rights in Mexico.
Startling Assertions Made.
DR.. Altendorf's statements, some of
which are startling, include the fol-
lowing:
That an invasion of the United
States by a Northumberland army of
$4,000 at the time of the last German
drive in France In July, 1918, was
planned, prepared for and almost
carried out.
Helped Drill Reservists.
That Altendorf, in the confidence of
both the German ambassador and the
Carranza government, helped drill 500
German reservists who served as the
nucleus for the proposed invading
| force.
That Mexico was in, no sense a
neutral in the war, but was IN active
ally of Germany to the extent of her
ability.
That 100000 Germans, CARRYING
with them a capitol of S4OO,OOOOO0,
are ready to emigrate from the United
States into Mexico as soon as the
peace treaty is ratified.
carranza Regime Is Pro-Gern1an.
That the present Mexico govern
ment is hopelessly pro-German and
that many high Mexican officials
We're on the German ambassadors
payroll throughout the war.
TO Make Munitions In Mexico.
That Germany is preparing to
manufacture munitions on a large
scale in Mexico for its next war, as
the peace treaty limits munitions
making in Germany.
That Won Eckhardt, the German am.
bassador, has guaranteed Carranza
an abundance of German capital to
turn Mexico into an. industrial coun.
try.

view. the association says it has the
! permission of the United States gov.

: U. s. Troops to Upper si,esia.

Paris, Aug. 25.-Authority to send
American troops to Silesia will be
asked Of the government at Washing
ton by the American commission In
vestigating the situation in that terri
tory. 1t is learned. It is regarded as
certain that the Germans will agree
to allied occupation Of Silesia ifnme-
diately. Recent strike troubles and
conflicts between the Germans and
Poles have aggravated the situation
in Upper Silesia until it was decided
necessary that some steps to establish
order should be taken.
