Un Notable Americana que tiene
1ratltud por Mexico, ell Pals
que 10 ha Enriquecido, Declara
Ante el Comite de Fall.
Por Max. Stern.

Los testimonies de los magma
tes que poseen grandes intereses
propiedades en- Mexico, han 81
DO y seran de grande peso para
determinar las futuras relaciones
entire las dos naciones. La ma
yor parte de estos testimonies son
de tai naturaleza, que no solamen-
tie Sc concretan a criticar Ell pals,
sino que piden a gritos la inter-
vencion armada.
Ahora habla el Coronel Dan M.
Burns, ciudadano americana que
ha hecho una inmensa fortuna en-
Mexico, en- cuyo pals estan todos
sus intereses. FL Coronel Burns
salio de los Estados Unidos para
Mexico hace p amos con Glen do
lares en- la bolsa por capital total.
Actualmente, las rentas que lie
cejan sus propiedades, que consis-
ten en- minas, 'haciendas y esta-
blecimientos productores de po-
tencia, hidro-electrica, ascienden
a mas de un million de dolares
anualmente. Y sin embargo, este
millionaire, no solamente Sc opone
a la intervention, sino que esta
SECURE que tai procedimiento aca-
rrearia resultados tragicos.
He aqui algunas de las frases
que el Coronel Burns expreso an
te el Comite que preside Fall, res
pecto de Mexico, cuyo pals como
ce tan bien:
"En Mexico no hay desorden,
todo el alboroto esta en- este lado
de la linea divisoria. Hace algu-
nos amos ingrese a una sociedad
de capitalists extranjeros que ha-
hian hecho inversiones en- Mexico,
con asombro me cerciore de que
su franco y exclusive proposito era
fomentar la anarquia en- la Repu-
blica vecina. En- la actualidad esa
labor Sc ha extendido hasta enar-
decor ell sentimiento publico de
America con las fabulas de ultra
jes y asesinatos a sus ciudadanos.
"Es cierto que determinadas
propiedades de americanos han
sido perjudicadas en- algunos lu-
cares, pero tambien es cierto que
el Gobierno Mexicano esta dis
puesto a satisfacer, su debido
tempo, las reclamaciones justas
que Sc lie hagan por los dafios su-
fridos.
"En cuanto al nimero de anne

rante los iltimos diez amos, estoy
convencido que la lista esta LENA
Ge falsedades, tanto en- el hume
70 como en- los hechos, aumenta-
dos con calumnias, con el obJeto
de encender la furia patriotica del
pueblo americana.
"Durante mi larga estancia y
experiencia en- ese pals, no ne te-
nido conocimiento de siquiera un
solo caso en- que TN americana ha-
va perdido la vida por causa direc-
ia indirecta del Gobierno Mexi-
cano. He sabido de varios que

By Compers in Speech
Also Denounces Prohibition
and Calls Governor Allen of
Kansas can IdiOt''

TRENTON, N. j., March 14.-Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, threatened office
holders who haven't carried out labor's
wishes with a "long vacation" criti-
cized the Supreme Court of the United
States and condemned the industrial
court established by Governor Allen
in Kansas in a speech he delivered here
to-day under the auspices of the Mercer
County Central Labor Union. He also
assailed prohibition, saying that it
made the United States the laughing
stock of the world.
The Supreme Court he accused Of
favoring capital in it's decisions uphold
ing the legality of the United States
Steel Corporation and declaring the
imposition of an income tax on divi-
dends paid in stock to be illegal. Gov
ernor Allen he characterized as "ar
idiot who is trying to foist upon tho
people of New Jersey the same incubus
he forced on the people of Kansas"
Governor Allen recently addressed a
joint session of the New Jersey Leg
slature in support of a measure before
it to establish an industrial court in
this state like that in Kansas Mr..
Gompers said that if Governor Allen
"lived long enough" he would have to
reckon with labor.

Sections of Grand View
Wiped Out

FORT WORTH, Tex. March ID
Loss estimated at more than 1000 600
was caused and 1900 people rendered
homeless by fire which swept Grand
View this afternoon. The greater part
of the business section and residential
parts of the city were destroyed. Three
persons were injured when building
collapsed.
The fire departments from Cleburne.
ltasca and Alvarado responded to the
appeals for aid, but were unable to be
of assistance in fighting the flames, as
the water in the stand pipes gave out.
Dynamite could not be obtained.
Automobiles, wagons and vehicles of
every description were used to carry
the homeless people to Alvarado and
itasca. Merchandise valued at hun
dreds of thousands of dollars was
piled into the streets and incalculable
loss caused by the water and smoke
Taking the shape of ~" the fire
swept through the city and burned more
than 200 homes. Every building in the
eight blocks of the business section
was engulfed by the flames.
The wind blew with such velocity
that burning brands were carried for
miles. A farmhouse three miles from
Grand View caught fire from such a
brand and was destroyed.

can give the Allies great deal of
trouble
Long enmity with Germany has made
France keen to detect signs of bad faith
at Berlin. Almost alone in the Euro
pean press her correspondents have
been declaring that everything was not
satisfactory in Germany. To-day she
told you SO" The French press points
out that the coup was a result of
deliberate plot which was discovered by
the government.
Hint of Betrayal of Noske
Moreover, traitors must have been
connected Herewith, for neither mex
perence nor weakness is sufficient to
explain what happened. "Die Freiheit"
principal conspirators, Pabst and Gra-
bowski, have been close collaborators
with War Minister Noske for more than
year.
The Journal des Debats" believes
that the present outbreak will be a les
son to England and America. 1t says:
ut is perhaps preferable that this
coup occur at the present moment. To-
day and for loa.s time to come the
threatening foreign lands. They are
at the mercy Of the victorious Allies.
1t is clear that it is the first duty of
the Allies to see to strict execution
OF the Treaty of Versailles and per-
manent disarmament of Germany. In
carrying out their coup detat the
Prussan mlitarsts show at anv rate
that they haven't very much political
sense. They've put the world on its
live on the other side Of the Channel
and the ocean that we are not dealing
with regenerated Germany"

Premier Millerand had received suf-
1ciently explicit details, he is said by
the Paris papers to have convoked a
conference of the ambassadors, which
deliberated until Z o'clock last night,
and reached the determination that the
Entente governments would not inter

The conference resolved also to in
form the German de facto government,
whichever it might be, of the intention
OF the Allies to exact execution of the
Treaty Of Versailles more firmly than
ever.
This action was interpreted by the
Paris papers to be an answer to Major
General Won Luettwitz's declaration that
the new German government was ready
to execute the reasonable clauses of
the treaty, the word reasonable" being
seized upon by many Of the papers for
emphasis.

of the men about him by compellinr
them to submit to his freakish moods
and paranoiac views"
Training All Wrong
Again, there is truth in all that
much truth. and yet not enough, It
assumes that the phenomenon can be
explained within the limits of three
decades Of German history. 1t cannot.
1t has its roots further back. The
whole training Of the German people
tor generations has been wrong. It
has aimed at developing the intellect
and has ignored the will.
The boy and girl we're taught that
they were to fit as cogs in the great
system of wheels constituting the Ger
man state and society-accept things
as they are, submit to the powers that
he, believe the religion that is pumped
into you; above all, bend your will to
the service of the state, the highest
expression of Gods will on earth.
The religious support to these axioms
was supplied, indeed, but by the
methods and in the spirit of the drill
sergeant. The religious teaching, from
which no child could escape, even
though the rebellious parent appealed
to the courts, wasa based upon an
oobsolescent philosophy of life, which.
tor the most part. was not even ac-
cepted by the very men set to teach it.
And the boys easily found it out as
schoolboys always do in such |ases.
SO the religious and moral instruc-
tion in the schools was surrounded
with an atmosphere Of insinceritv. The
sham bred in time contemptuous in
difference. Men complied with the
forms of religion, attended church. and
even partook of the communion, be-
cause their official positions rendered
this prudent and necessary; it was a
matter of social status, of political
duty
That is why the Germans are now
at such low ebb morally, at a txne
when the primal human needs tend to
sweep away all moral restraints. That
is why there is SO little unselfish
patriotism, and all political action
creates the impression of pushing self
ish aims. Add to all this the fact that
the old regime prevented the develop
ment of political leadership, and a
fairly accurate view of the present
plight of the German people can be
gained.
1t will equally be understood why
the present rulers Of Germany have an
extremely difficult task before them.
The German people are political babe
IN the wood, and the men who are try
ing to lead them have still to demon
strate their capacity to carry forwa I'd
that huge task

thus far, and all the newspapers are
being issued.
A wireless dispatch received here
to-day from Berlin says:
"The new men in, power definitely
declare that they do not intend to
restore the monarchy. They are pre-
pared, under certain conditions, to
form a coalition government in
which the Majority Socialists would
be included, but they insist on ap-
pointing nop-partisan experts as
chiefs of certain ministries, hoping
thereby to improve political and eco
nomic conditions.
"In all the government Offices yes
terday work went on as usual, and
business in the city was not inter
rupted. The new government warned
the Socialists that strong measures
would be taken if they interfered
with vital industries.
"The typesetters this morning re-
fused to set up the new government
proclamation if that of the old gov
ernment and Of the Socialist party
were not issued simultaneously with
it; consequently the publication of
all the newspapers has been sus-
pended for the time being.
Press Bureau Head Arrested
Herr Rauscher, chief of the gov
ernment press bureau, was arrested
for his own protection. He has been
succeeded by Dr. Brederk, we'll
known member of the Fatherland
party. 1t is stated on behalf of the
government that the government is
aware that large part of the work
men will oppose it, but that there is
no intention to suppress the work
ers or rob them of their acquired
rights. At the same time the gov
ernment will take strong action if
the workers attempt to use force.
SO far quiet has prevailed"
A dispatch to the Exchange Tele-
graph from Berlin, dated Sunday,
says the new government in Berlin
will act conjointly with the labor
party for the maintenance OF order,
and that the w Cabinet is en-
deavoring to persuade labor repre-
sentatives to take office. The we'll
known labor leader, Richard koer
stem, has been suggested for port
folio. Negotiations are progress
ing, but their success is doubtful,
owing to the attitude of the Min
ister of Defense, General Baron Won
Luettwitz.
1t is added that negotiations be-
tween the government and repre-
sentatives of the Independents have
resulted in the Independents agree
ing to take office under certain con-
ditions.
Will Adhere to Treaty
Late tonight the German En-
bassy stated it had received no news
from Berlin, and that it was entirely
at a loss to know the meaning Of the
revolt and what had happened. Ihe
embassy was confident, however,
that no government could hope to
hold office except on the basis of
performing the engagements of the
peace treaty.
Premier Lloyd George and Earl
Curzon of Kedleston, Foreign Sec
retary, both were out of town TO-
dav, and therefore there was no
Cabinet meeting.

that the militarist movement is

received definite assurances that the

to the terms of the peace treaty.
