WHO RULES TAM

ED 0 U { S T 10 n
BY RALPH H. TUR1IER


Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
TAMPICO, March 17.-Some day
there must be "show-doH'n" to es-
tablish jurisdiction over the oil fields.
1t seems inevitable that eventually it
must be determined whether the great
wealth-producing region of Tampico
is to be under the unquestioned au-
thority of the recognized government
of Mexico-the Carranza government
--or whether a band of revolution
lists, or bandits, or whatever you
choose to call them, shall continue
indefinitely to defy the federal gov
ernment and exercise certain meas
ure of control over the richest district
of Mexico.
That control is not complete, but
exists sufficiently so that rebel forces
today are enabled to exact toll from
American and other foreign oil inter-
ests that is generally estimated
around $4,000 month. That figure
is the most reliable obtainable, al
though higher estimates are frequent
ly heard.
The Battle of the Oil Fields! 1t
has picturesque ring, but thus far it
has never been fought. Whether it
ever will be depends, largely, upon
the moods of three different elements
that today form the eternal political
triangle of the Tampico oil region
Xenustiano Carranza, Manuel Pelaez
and the foreign oil interests.
Manuel Pelaez-"General" Pelaez
his followers call him-is today one
of the most romantic figures of Mex
leo, if not the most scrupulous. Lists
of Mexico's rebel leaders always in
clude PelaeZ. The effect of the
Pelaez movement as a political force
against the federal government pro-
badly is exaggerated. But it is not
likely that Pelaez worries greatly
over that feature. The fact remains
that this rebel chieftain, with a fol-
lowing of soldiers and "moraI sup
porters" that has been known to
reach 5000, continues to roam about
the oil district south of Tampico,
defying the Carranza government,
living largely "off the land" and de-
manding> his pound of flesh-literal.
ly it amounts to several pounds
from the oil companies.
Luis Cabrera, Mexican minister OF
finance, said recently he chopped the

But the oil companies put it diff

"THE YELLED MARRIAGE"

."The Yelled Marriage" one of the
most unusual stories ever pictured,
will be the stellar attraction at the
Royal theatre tomorrow.
Anna Lehr, who has gained popular
ity by her faithful portrayals of inn
portant roles in several of the latest
big productions, is the star of "The
Yelled Marriage"
Her Interpretation of the role of
Margaret FallOn in this excellent pro-
duction is one of the most exquisite
bits of artistry ever contributed to
the screen, and is decidedly the best
work of Miss Lehr's career.

Miss Lehr, is the type hero most wo-

that query. Either is can't be done,
or Carranza believes there are other
jobs more urgent, OF the military men
serving Carranza in the oil region
haven't seen fit to carry out his or
,ters.
Pelaez's authority, just like the To-
cation of his troops, is changing,
shifting. He has no power, of course,
in the city of Tampico proper;
neither does he appear to exercise
ny jurisdiction in the region north
f Tampico. In the south his rule is
ore or less extensive.
Every now and then the Carranza
:oops march through the Pelaez ter
| tory, chase his soldiers into the
brush and pass on. Then Pelaez
turns up at another spot, or returns
to the same old camp ground. It's
much ike the game of chasing Villa
Up north. Pelaez, it is declared, has
tie sympathy OF the people in his
c, untry and the Carranzistas, being
recruited from other parts of the
Republic, don't know the district we'll
enough to wage an effective cam
paign.
But there must be "show-down"
Scme day. Will it come as The Bat
lie of the Oil Fields? That might be
disastrous to foreign oil property.
However, II Caranza is master of
Mexico, there is one way for him to
prove it.

DESCRIBES SIBERIAN MISERY
Col. Teusler Of Red Cross Says Filth
Was Cause Of Army's
Reverses.

TOkyo.-That chief cause for the
recent reverses of the Siberian army
was to be found In its unsanitary con-
ditions, was the opinion expressed re-
Gently by Col. II. b. Teusler. American
Red Cross commissioner to Siberia.
Col. Teusler said that bad santa
ton, both in the army and among the
population, with the agonies Of starva-
ton, brought about extreme misery
and moral breakdown, which was es.
pecially reflected in the troops, who
felt they had no support behind them.
The minds Of the population seemed
to have become almost benumbed and
absolutely Indifferent to what hap
pened, or to the suffering of others.
Col. Teusler added that although
such numbers of the people were starv-
ing, there was sufficient food, but lack
Of transportation facilities prevented
its distribution where most needed.
