WANT NEW RIFLE.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-Inventors
were asked today by the war depart
ment to submit designs for a semi
automatic military rifle to replace
weapons now in use.
The present military rifle is maga-
zine gun, operation of the bolt action
by hand being necessary to prepare
it for the next shot. Officials said
that if an acceptable semi-automatic
could be developed for the army, the
rapidity and accuracy Of fire by any
infantry unit would be greatly in
creased.

The Socialist Alderman's statement
reads, in part. as follows:
No one viii suspect Mr. Hylan of

too high q standard OF responsibility
Tor his utterances, but even he must
know that the statements contained in
his letter to President Moran are with

his professions of respect for Ameri-

At the White House, where first an

Brooklyn Sunday School
Workers in Campaign
against Bolsherisf,

More than 200 Sunday school work
ers, many of them women, met last
night in Baptist Temple, Brooklyn, to
organize q campaign against Social
ism, Bolshevism and other destructive
isms." Their plan is to reach out after
the non-churchgoing men, women and
children of Brooklyn and give them
ethical, religious and recreational
training by means OF community day
schools in the various sections of the
borough.
H. B. Shaen, head of H. B. Shaen,
Inc, textile manufacturers of 229
Fourth Avenue and president of the
Brooklyn Sunday School Union, pre-
sided over the meeting and outlined
the plan.
Socialists Growing Rapidly
"A most serious and alarming condi-
tlon exists among the youth Of New
YORK that needs our immediate atten-
tlon,' said MIR. Shaen. .-Bolshevism
has reared its ugly head in d propa.
ganda among all classes of citizens.
The Socialists have established twelve
Sunday schools here already and they
boast that in year they will have

Brooklyn has 373,578 pupils in its
public schools. OF these 187187 are

Widespread approval Of Mayor Ry-

yesterday.
The National Security League and

resolutions pledging their cooperation
and support
Robert L. Moran, president of the
Board of Aldermen, to whom the Mayor
sent letter requesting the passage by
the aldermanic body of an ordinance
forbidding the holding of meetings in
foreign language at which the gov
ernment IS abused, or gatherings ar
ranged by persons not citizens of the
United States, said yesterday that such
a measure is now being prepared.
Passage Is Predicted
Feeling is general that approval of
the measure will be voted by the
Aldermanic Board in u short time.
The Socialists in the board, however,
are known to be opposed to the meas
ure-Algernon Lee, leader of the So
cialist contingent, issued statement
to that effect yesterday-and with the
objection of but one of them the mat

On this score, it was pointed out.
that although the committees Of the
board are not in the habit Of report

exert undue speed in reporting back to
the major body measure such as the
one proposed. With such popular SEN

sharply criticised.
Doubt was expressed by some Off
clals yesterday as TO whether the
Board of Aldermen has the power to
pass the proposed ordinance. These
same officials, while expressing them
selves as in accord with the programme
outlined by the Mayor, declared that
even the State Legislature could not
take such a step.
Defence Society Resolution
Noicing their approval of Mayor Hy-
lan's action, the trustees of the Ameri-
can Defence Society, at meeting held
yesterday afternoon, unanimously
adopted the following resolution:
Whereas, The MAJOR has addressed

ment made yesterday by General
Amado Aguirre, Under Secretary OF
Agriculture and DEVELOPMENT
Naturally there has been respect for
companies holding concessions which
always have complied with the stipula-
clons OF their contracts, but some COM
panles, among them the Mexico Land
company, have had their contracts
nulllhed for not having complied with
all their provisions
Concessions to Be Liquidated
These concessions will be legally
liquidated. Those interests which have
large holdings will be obliged to divide
them, and nobody will be given more
than $500 acres"
General Aguirre said the government
had not and would not allow foreign
IHlereStS 10 OBTAIN lands IN Lower
California, and pointed out that the
Constitution prohibits foreigners from
holding lands within sixty miles from
a frontier and thirty miles from a sea
coast. He said it would be virtually
impossible for foreign interests to OBJ
tam any considerable tract in Lower
California because OF the narrowness
Of the peninsula.
The Under Secretary said that among
those holding fishing rights we're both
Japanese and Norwegians, but no for
eign interests held rights to land along
the coasts.
Only Fishing Permits
The Under Secretary declared the
only concessions granted were five
year fishing permits. General Aguirre
said he has informed George 7. Sum
