AMERICANS DENIED
RIGHTS IN MEXICO
cARRANZA REFUSES TO PERMIT
OIL DRILLING ON AMERICAN
OWNED LANDS.
Compliance With Laws Laid Down
BY Mexican Dictator Would Mean
That Investors Give Up Lands
to Mexican Government.

Washington.-The Mexican govern
ment has committed an overt act of
confiscation in preventing American
oil well drivers Ia work on lands owned
by American individuals or companies
by sending soldiers into the fields and
driving away the workmen, state de
partment officials said Tuesday. Com
plant was made to the Mexican gov
eminent on April of this year, it was
learned, against the refusal of the
government to grant permits to the
oil companies to drill. No answer was
received until after JuareZ incident,
it was said, and then President Car
rama announced no permits, provision
al or otherwise, would be granted
until the companies had complied with
the law. Compliance with the law. it
was said by state department Off
Gals, would constitute recognition by
the companies that the Mexican gov
eminent owned the oil lands.
The orders to the military forces

were issued by President Carranza
last May 16, according to advices from
Mexico City on July l. The petro
leum department instructed the Mexi
can war department, by direct orders
of Carrauza, to use any forces neces
sary to prevent drilling without per
nit, although the lands on which drill
ing was being done had been legally
acquired by the present owners.

VEX PEACEMAKERS
FiUME ISSUE FORCED INTO FORE
GROUND BY ITALIANS, WHO
DEMAND TERRITORY.
Insist That All Territory Taken From
Austria be Definitely Disposed of
In the Austrian Treaty Now
Being Prepared.

Paris.-Premier Clemenceau, Secre-
tary of State Lansing, Foreign Minister
BalfOur, Foreign Minister Pichon, Bar
on Maxine and Viscount Chinda of
Japan and Foreign Minister TittOni of
Italy decided on July l to constitute
new council of five. This council of
five will have as its members Secre-
tary Lansing, NJ. Pichon, Foreign Min
lister Balfour, Foreign Minister Tittoni
and Baron Maxine, head of the Japan
csc delegation.
The council temporarily assume
direction of peace conference affairs.
\ council of ten will not be constituted
at present.
Foreign Minister Tittoni made it
clear at the meeting that Italy desires
that all territory taken from Austria
be definitely disposed of in the
Austrian treaty
This Immediately projects into the
foreground the Fiume question, which
it had been hoped could be avoided.
While the council received the i'm
preston from Signor Tittoni that the
new Italian delegation will be more
considerate than the old, it was dis
tinct disappointment when Tittoni
expressed Italy's desire TO have all
the territory taken from Austria
definitely allotted in the Austrian
treaty, as this makes it unlikely the
treaty can be concluded within the
week and foreshadOws lengthy
discussion of the question.
The council decided to appoint
Immediately committee to execute
the German treaty, and also Il com
mittee for the execution of reparations
and still third to outline the Bulgar
| ian frontier.

"mnuentous document to which the
British empire ever affixed its seal
Though showing the effects of his
long labOrs AT Paris and lacking his
usual fire, the premier at times made
impa>sioned utterances, and was loud
ly cheered. His announcement that
the former German emperor would
soon be placed on trial before trib-
unal sitting in London was cheered
most of all, while his presentation of
the Anglo-French convention, provid-
ing for British aid if Germany should
attack France unprOvoked-a conven-
ton analogous TO one between the
United States and France-was greet
ed with restrained approval.
Discussing the determination of the
allied and associated powers to place
on trial William Hohenzollern, the for.
mer German emperor, as the man held
chiefly responsible for the war, he de-
clared that if such course had been
followed after other wars, There
would have been fewer wars" 1t was
the intention TO make such an example
of Germany as to discourage Others
from lever again attempting to repeat
this infamy."
There was a significant passage
when the premier first mentioned the
League of Nations. Many of the mem
bers cheered, but seemingly nearly an
equal number burst into laughter.

Harvard Nine Rounding Into
Shape; Many Changes Likely

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, March 15.-Al-
most week of outdoor practice has
given the candidates for the Harvard
varsity nine an opportunity to show
Coach Duffy what they can do under
something like normal baseball condi-
tions. A few more day workout, and
the veteran coach will cut his squad
down to respectable dimensions and
the real fight for places on the nine
will start.
At present Winslow FELTON, and Eli
Stillman are tho foremost Of the pitch
ers. FELTON, Is long, rangy chap, with
fast ball and a nice drop. The lack
Of control which bothered him as a
freshman has not cropped up 80 far.
He seems to locate the plate in good
style, but Of course. hasn't had to
work like he would in facing opposing
teams. Stillman has the better curves
and puzzling drop ball also. Hor-
ween. the football player, Bucky But
terfeld and Stan johnson are other
slabmer receiving attention from Duffy.
Austin Blair, who handled the fresh
men pitchers last year, is showing up
well. He is cool-headed youngster,
and Duffy is we'll pleased with his
work behind the mask. Blair hit for
more than 400 last spring. Gammack
Of the 1918 informals, is not far be-
hind Blair as q backstop and hitter.
Bond, the football halfback, has been
switched from the catching squad, and
probably will cover leftfeld. He is a
good hitter and looks like the man
for fourth place in the batting list.
King First Stacker
Jimmie King, a lefthanded pegger,
is reasonably certain to play first, and
years initial sacker to right field,
primarily on account OF his hitting.
King is clever fielder, and captained
last seasons freshman team.
Willard Mcleod, is the leading as
pirant for second base, but has hard
and willing opponent in rockingham,
who also is clever batsmen. Nc
Leod gave up the 1918 captaincy to
join the aviation service.
Bob Emmons has the edge ut short
stop, but with the return of Norman
Kerr next month, and the reinstate-
ment of Tom Enwright, the compet-
ton will be as lively as any on the
team. Tom Meehan, the 1921 third
baseman, Is a certainty at that posi-
ton. His hitting alone should give
him the job.
To keep Bond and Jones company
in tho outfeld, Eddie Casey, Bobby
Gross, and Lee Evans are the posi-
bilities. Evans Is sure fielder, and
hits at a good gait, and Is likely to
kA La Ia sssA sxtAx 4. a

veloped into a fair slabman.

Havana L. Nine
For Game Here
Months Outdoor Training
Fits Maroon Team for
Long Diamond Campaign

Frank v. Mcmahon, the Fordham
baseball manager, announced last night
that he had booked a game with the
University of Havana. The contes.
will be staged at Fordham Field on
Thursday, May 20.
Several other teams also have been
added to the Maroon schedule. The
Bronx collegians will play Lehigh at
Fordham Field on April 10. Villa Nova
at Fordham Field on May 10, and
Catholic University at Fordham Field
on June z. Negotiations are also I'M
der way for game with Colgate.
The schedule, which WAS published
early last month, originally consisted
of only twenty contests. However, at
recent meeting of the athletic coun-
Gil, 1t was decided that the Maroon nine
would play the usual number of games
this year, and about eight more dates
have since been included in the list.
The revised programme will be an
nounced by Manager Mcmahon within
the next few days.
Start Season April 2
The Fordham aggregation will open
what is probably the most difficult
campaign it has ever undertaken, by
meeting the Cathedral College nine at
Fordham Field on April 2.
After q month of continuous outdoor
practice, the prospects for fast nine
are brighter than in many years past,
and with such stars as Frisch, Finn
and LeFevre, in addition to several very
promising youngsters, Fordham should
rank among the leading college teams
of the East this season.
