DENIES SECRET TREATY
EXISTS AGAINST MEXICO
Hilario Medina, Blamed for Al
legged Pact, Declares State
mentS Untrue.

MEXICO CITY. October 9.-State-
ments that there had been discovered
in the archives of the Mexican for
eign office copy of a secret treaty
between the United States, France
and Great Britain against Mexico,
which have been attributed by news
papers here to Hilario Medina, were
denied by him last night.
Senior Medina. who was undersec-
rotary in charge of the foreign Of
flee during former President Car
ranza's administration, declared he
had been informed by various dlplo-
mats during his visit to the United
States and Europe early this year
that such a treaty existed.
The original version of Senior Me-
dina's statements created excitement
in official quarters and among news
papers here. He was charged by diff
ferent persons with having been &C
tive against the government through
fomenting trouble with powerful for
eien nations, with violating the dip
lomatic honor code and with inability
to account for large sums spent DUR
ing his administration in the foreign
office.
Rumors, which are so far lmpos-
sible of confirmation, state that the
only document such as Senior Medlna
described was forged copy OF an
alleged treaty with which the Ger
man government deceived Carranza
during the war.

Figures at Hand

expected the people of Halle to
boot the minority delegates at the
opening of the congress and that
the result would be that the
minority would walk out and hold
a separate congress in Leipzig.
From the returns at hand it is
evident that the large industrial
centers are overwhelmingly radi-
cal. while the rural district are
more moderate.
Hard Contest in February.
If the Halle convention comes
out in favor of joining the third
internationale it may be expected
that there will be hard contest
next February when the German
presidential campaign begins. A
split in the party will mean that
the left wing will have as leaders
Daeumig, the most powerful radi-
cal in Germany, and Stoecker. and
that the right wing will be led by
Breitscheid and Hilferding. The
outside world may look for new
outbreaks by the radicals in Ger
many if the left wing wins. Even
now there are more strikes than
at any other time since the Kapp
coup d'etat.
Many reports are in circulation
of serious trouble in the near flu
ture. Berlin is being patroled by
armored cars and a fairly large

1.-THE parachute used by aviators."
says the services statement, "is fold
ed snugly inside pack carried on the
back. The operator steps off the
plane, allows himself a couple of
seconds to fall clear of his machine,
then pulls a wire depending over his
shoulder. This wire opens the spring
doors of the pack. and releases a
small pilot chute some couple of feet
in diameter. This pilot spring opens
automatically. and catching the rush
of air, draws the main chute from the
pack.
In the top of the main chute is an
automatic vent, which. opening to a
width of five feet, when the big para
sol first unfolds. gives the air COM

AT the atmospheric pressure

attained by the operator in his
couple of seconds fall is sufficient to
create enough pressure under the pilot
chute to cause it when released to yank
the big one at once from it's pack.
Usually the operator is descending at
normal speed after falling less than 200
feet However, at high attitudes the
atmosphere has not sufficient effect
on the pilot chute until the operator
has fallen a great distance and attain

the parachute does open is accord
