u. S. Citizens Driven From
Own Lands in Mexico
Washington Learns.

Washington, July 1.-The Mexi-
can government has committed an
overt act of confiscation in pre-
venting American oil we'll drillers
to work on lands owned by Amer
ican industrials or companies by
sending soldiers into the fields and
driving away the workmen, state
department officials said today.
Complaint was made the Mexi
can government on April 20, this
year, it was learned, against tho
refusal of the government to grant
permits to the oil companies to
drill. No answer was received un-
til after the Juarez incident, it
was said, and then President Car
rama announced no permits, pro-
visional or other, would be grant
ed until the companies had COM
piled with the law.
Would Admit Mexico Owner.
Compliance with the law, it was
said by state department officials,
would constitute recognition by the
companies that the Mexican gov
ernment owned the oil lands. The
orders to the military forces to
prevent drilling by force of arms
was issued by President Carranza
last May 16, according to advices
from Mexico City today. The pc
troleum department instructed the
Mexican war department, by direct
orders of Carranza, to use any
force necessary to prevent drilling
without permit, although the lands
on which drilling was being done
were legally acquired by the pres
ent owners.
Driven from Lands.
The war Department transmitted
the orders witt SPECIFIC directions
as to action to be taken by the
soldiers o the military command
ers at Tahpico and Tuxpam, and
Immediately companies of soldiers
were sent into the fields. 1t is not
known how many drilling gangs
were driven out of the oil fields
by the soldiers, but two have been
reported and raids have been made.
according to Official reports, on the
camps Of other oil workers.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
MAKES DEMAND UPON
CHIEF; STRIKE IS OFF

| Tired and dusty after an unsuccess-
| full search for reported bootleggers,
| Chief of Police Brisbois returned to
the station yesterday afternoon with
| Policeman McGrath, who had accom-
panied him on the trip, only to be
| confronted by an aggressive garnerms
| of nearly every member of the police
| force.
Noting something unusual, the chief
turned upon Captain Sutherland with
! the demand for an explanation.
| It's like this, chief the captain
said as he cleared his throat in an
embarrassed maner, then with char
acteristic directness, dealt a stunning
blow "AIl the police of the force have
just had a meeting and decided we
must have more pay"
But boys" replied the chief, com
| pletely taken aback, 'if it's a strike
you mean, you have pulled it without
any warning and at a time when every
man on the force is badly needed. Here
| it is fair week, and"
That's just it, Captain Sutherland
explained. I'VE thought this would
be the best time to turn the trick
we're going to strike unless you con
sent TOTO here the captain paused
undoubtedly and pushed Policeman.
NIoW6 W IIV 1loi1I- 1O0 -
to him, Grove" urged the captain.
"Tell him that if he wants to avert
strike he has to"
Wear this" finished Grove, and he
produced a solid gold police badge en-
graved with a seal of the city and tht
name, George o. Brisbois."
Those are the terms, chief the
verdict was unanimous.
A hand which the police have long
admired for it's ability to hold a.
volver to the bulls-eye with steady
elaboration, trembled slightly as it
received the token of esteem. There
was an immediate clanor for speech,
to which the chief replied with a note
of genuine emotion in his voice:
Boys, if l knew what to say,
couldn't say it"
The presentation of the gold en-
blem of esteem was made in the police
station yesterday afternoon. The
members of the force who had each
contributed toward the purchase OF
the gold badge, were somewhat appre-
hensiYe, as during his service of more
than five years as police chief, Brois-
bois has consistently anticipated and
thwarted any plans his men have made
to make a similar presentation.
But the chief had to confess this
was one occasion when it was a rea'
pleasure to be outwitted.

'TNFALLIBILTTY'' TO BE MIR.
 GEORGES SERMON THEHfI

At the United Church, Sunday morning service, at ten-thirty, Rev. Edward A. George will discuss the question whether in this age of in vestigation and criticism there is any infallibility left. There are those who depend upon the infallibility of the Pope, of the Chp<ch, of the Creed, and of the Bible. Is there any such thing as an external infallibility in posed upon us from without? Is il good to be sure of everything? How ever true what the Church, the Creed and the Bible teach, it has little au- thority for us unless it is true for us. Charts are good in navigation but every ship must have a compass.
 The organ prelude will be Melody in F. by Rubenstein, the anthem Thou O God Art My Salvation" by Sh ackley and the offertory 70 SPara- disc" Shelley. The morning service i5 followed by the Sunday School session, with classes for all ages. Mir. Geo1 se conducts a class for men and there Is also q very interesting one for women and young men. The Junior Christian Endeavor meets al four o'clock Sunday afternoon and the Senior Christian Endeavor meets at six-fifteen.
 The Community Forum tomorrow evening will be the last of the sea son. and unusually interesting one. William English Mailing, secretary of the Social Democratic League of America and well-known as the au- thor of a number of Socialist books will be the speaker on the subject "President Wilson, MT. Mailing has just returned from a three months visit in Paris as a fnember o1 the European Mission of the League appointed to establish relations with European Socialists and Labor Unionists who support President Will sons fourteen points and the League of Nations project. The Forum, which will begin at T:45, will be preceded by a prelude of old Southern melo. dies beginning at 7:15.
 Some of the old favorites will be sung, such as "O1d Folks at Home, "OId Black Joe,'' My Old Kentucky Home," Swing Low, Sweet Chariot As the Forum offertory, the chorus will sing Dig My Crave" and Deer ! River" by Burleigh.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR
 OWN CREED''

How to Make Your Own Creed" is to be discussed tomorrow morning by the Rev. Vim. Wallace Rose at the Church of the Redeemer, Fairfield avenue, above Broad street.
 Every man has his own creed, even though in theological circles the creed does not count as much as 1t used to. A man without a creed is like a ship without motive power. Most persons unconsciously formulate their own creed, and some persons have the wrong kind and because they believe the wrong things they get the wrong start It does matter what a man be- lieves as well as how he acts. The Germans have taught us how close belief is to conduct. What do you believe7 What is your own creed :? Or if you think you have none, how can you make your own?? Service with good music at 10:45-

NEWS OF CATHOLIC CHURCHES
CATHOLIC CHURCH NOTES
Contributed by P. J. Brennan.

The old St. Mary's church that was avenue and Church street was the most historical and flourishing in the city. It was originally built as a mis- sion of St James, 6S years ago. The writer was baptised there a few years later.
 After the new St. Mary's church was built on Pembroke street. 1t was occupied by the members of St Johns Nutria church which is now located on Brooks street.
 In 1891, after the church was va cated by the St Johns congregation it was taken over by St. Michael Polish congregation and after St Michae1's moved to their new church on Sterling street 1t was taken by the congregation of St. Cyril and Meth odius which was separated from St Johns by the railroad viaduct several years ago.
 The new congregation razed the old wooden church and built the attrac- tive church of brick which they oc- cupy at the present time, with con- vent. rectory and school buildings in the rear.
 Many Italian women and children attended the old St. Mary's until their own church was built on East Washington avenue in 1904.
 St. Charles church on East Main street was separated from the new St. Mary's parish in 1903, as was also the parish of St. Johns National Polish, which is located on California street.
 The Blessed Sacrenlent parish was separated from the new St. Mary'S and built their church on Union ave- nue in the East End.
 St James in Stratford is also ar extened branch of the old St. Mary's as is also the church in Milford as old St. AIary's parish included all this territory at the beginning years ago
 Few churches in this city have 8 record that can compare with the parish of St. Mary's and there are no many hundreds of us left to remen- Der the many missions and ceremonies in the old but not forgotten church
