REVIVE OLD SWINDLE
Many Americans Said to Have
Fallen Victims.
Madrid Police on Trail of Gam That
Operates dying Prisoner"
Scheme.

Madrid.-The Spanish swindIen
has shown its head again. America
has been inundated with letters from
"a dying prisoner, prosecuted by polit-
zeal enemies, only able to communi-
cate with the outside world through
the kindness of a prison chaplain"
The writer of the letter claims rela-
tionship with the person addressed
and explains that a yalise containing
%valuables has been concealed outside
of Spain, the contents to be left to
an only daughter and the American
relative.
Should the American reply, he later
receives a letter from "the chaplain"
stating that the prisoner is dead and
that a certain sum is required to re-
lease the prisoners baggage, including
the mysterious valise. Fortunately
when the correspondent reaches this
point the american relative' usually
becomes curious and as a result the
embassy in Madrid and the c~onsulates
throughout Spain have a flood of cor
respondence on the subject.
In other cases the victim takes the
bait without question and parts. with
his money, or even worse still. goes to
the expense of travelling to Spain to
pay the required sum to release the
valise and claim his share of the con-
tents.
In the latter case the swindler is
generally brought to book, for the
Spanish police are OF the lookout and
the presence of a stranger looking for
lost relatives u their suspicious.
Recently an American arrived in
Madrid with a certified check to claim
his share of a prisoners estate. The
Spanish police put him in prison until
he could be convinced that he had
been the victim of a clever swindler.
1t took all the eloquence of an Ameri-
can consul to do this and induce the
man to return home.

MEXICAN WOMEN WAKING UP
ter Understanding With United
States.

Mexico City, Mex.-Mexican women
are preparing to take a hand in public
affairs. They intend first to attack
social and industrial evils and later
to make a fight for political equality.
This is the program of the Mexican
feminist council, a national organiza-
ton with headquarters in Mexico City.
The council does not believe that the
mass of Mexican women are at pres
emit prepared for complete suffrage bur
hopes eventually to make them a vital
political force. The present Mexican
government looks with favor upon
their efforts, according to Senorita
Elena Torres, general secretary of the
council.
The feminist council has organized
groups to teach Mexican women how
their conditions may be improved in
dustrially and socially. The next step,
said Senorita Torres, will be organiza-
ton of woman workers in industry.
The council intends to bring the move
ment in contact with similar organiza-
lions in other countries and to work
with the women of the world for peace
and disarmament. Senorita Torres
predicts that Mexican women will Gre
ate a new era of amicable relations
and a more complete understanding
between Mexico and the United States.

Advocates Trial of Hun Leaders,

If Hindenburg and Ludendorff are
guilty of offenses against humanity
they, and not some of their under
lings, should pay the penalty. 1t would
be a farce to let them go and to
convict their subordinates; and it
would be farce to try to Impress
the German people with the inviolable
majesty of international law while
fearing to try leaders who are In po-
sition to arouse a public clamor in
their behalf. BY all means let linden
burg and Ludendorff be among the first
to answer. They stand as heroes be-
fore their followers and no lesson
would be more impressive to those fol
lowers than the spectacle of their lead
ers brought to book.-Exchange.
