Mexico City, Aug. 4-Mobilization
of only three thousand men for the
campaign against Governor .Cantu of
Lower California has been ordered
by the government, according to a
war department statement. More
troops will be sent if necessary, al
though it was indicated the govern

of great Importance,
The Chinese fraterna1 union has
received message from Chinese in
Lower California saying Governor
Cantu has demanded loan of $780,

with the Chinese minister at Wash

construed as aiding the rebellion.

HIRE COUNSEL
FOR DEFENCE OF
HUSBAND SLAYER

New Haven. Aug. Attorney
Jacob P. Goodhart consented yester-
day after a conference of some length
with interested parties to appear as
attorney for Mrs. Frank Sokolowsky,
who is charged with the murder of
her husband in this city June 26, and
who was arrested in New York Sun
day where she had been hiding since
the tragedy.
1t seems that New York society,
representing certain allied foreign
peoples, has become interested in the
case of Mrs. Sokolowsky and is to
give her financial support for her de-
Tense. The society is connected with
various churches in New York, one
of which is the Polish church, which
has already interested members of
Polish religious societies in this city
who will cooperate with the New
York organization in providing Mrs.
Sokolowsky with as good counsel as
can be found in the state.
Owing to the laws of the state of
New York on the subject of extradi-
ton, the return to this city of Mrs.
SokoloWsky, who threw a quantity
of carbolic acid on her husbands face
while he slept, admittedly with the
intention of disfiguring him, but with
for some eight days yet, although she
is willing to forego extradition rights.
Coroner Eli Mix, who went to New
York to examine the woman had not
returned last night, and consequently
no official statement has been received
from him.
While the coroner's official state
ment will not in all probability con-
tain more than is sufficient to cover
the charge against the woman, some
very Interesting evidence is likely to
be brought out at the trial. The
woman owns up to having thrown
the acid, but with no intention OF
lydoing more than to disfigure her
husband,a labor leader, scholar, art
list, spy and Don Juan, who rushed

CHAPLIN'S SOCIALISM
CAUSE, WIFE SAYS

New York, Aug. 4-Charlie Chaplin's
socialistic theories did as much to
wreck his home as ever his custard
pies did damage in the kitchens of the
films. This was the statement made
by his wife, Mrs. Mildred Harris Chap
lin, who admitted yesterday at the
Hotel Chatham that she had brought
suit for divorce on the grounds of
mental cruelty in the Los Angeles
courts.
Fl wouldn't say anything to hurt
Charlie" she said, '+but it is true. I
thought everybody knew that he is
interested in Socialism. He brought
his radical friends to the house, and 1
didn't like them. 1 wouldn't eat with
them.
THE trouble with Charles social
ism was that he wanted to do the
preaching and let me do the practis-
ing. He talked a lot about how
wrong it was to spend money on lux
uries That was why he wouldn't let
me have a car. But he had a big ma
chine himself. I had to take taxis,
and then he found fault with the bill.
when 1 was in the hospital last
winter. when my baby was born, he
uromised me an automobile. He was
yery good and kind to me then. But
when I got well and went home he
sent me an old secondhand car thai
he had traded In Tor one OF MS StuolC

HE didn't take any interest in hay

SCOUTS EMBODY BEST IDEALS

During my four years In Germany
says James w. Gerard. former Ameri
can ambassador, II saw much of the
child life of that country. The chill
dren were paraded through the streets
singing their songs of hate. In the
schools they were taught deliberate
perversion of history. For instance
The Fatherland did not wish TO injure
the Belgians, but the wicked Belgians
promised to ALLOW ou~ troops to pass
through their couptry and then at
tackled them"
How different are the methods that
are used to bring out the best in the
childhood Of this, our own country
While the Germans had organizations
which were intended to develop hatred
and like passions In the hearts of the
young, we have the Bo. Scouts of
America. This splendid organization
well illustrates the difference in ideals
between the two countries. In tho
Boy Scouts the boy subscribes to an
oath to be true to himself and his
country and to keep himself morally
and physically fit at all times. He also
pledges himself to do good turn
daily"
The boy is taught woodcraft and
many other useful things. He partici-
pates in big public functions and civic
ceremonials. From the very first he Is
led into the higher citizenship.
