MEXICAN WOMEN
 VERY SUSPICIOUS
Feminist Council Dcnounces Charita- ble Movement of Americans and Suggests They Care for the
 Needy at Home.

Mexico City. Dec. 2S. Resolutions of protest against projected philan thropic intervention in Mexican affairs by the recently formed childhood con servation league Of the United states were passed at meeting Of the Mexi. can Feminist Council today The league. which. 1t is said proposed with the financial backing of a groua of the largest and best known mag mates of the United States. to spend from two million to four million dol lars annually in charitable propagan- da in Mexico Is said to be a far sight ed scheme to bring about ultimate intervention in Mexican affairs.
 Senora Elena Torrea. general secre- tary of the feminist council today gave the following statement to the Associated Press:
 Mexican women hold Mexico itself to be best able to judge it's own needs and to find way to satisfy them in due time Outside aid, however well meant, Is entirely nninvited.
 .Those desiring to spend money to relieve temporary strictures in Mexico incident to the ten year revolution, may find means through Mexican in stitutions already organized for that purpose Above all, before seeking ex- ternal objects of charity. those bene- violently inclined United States citi- zens. desirous of relieving suffering, had best take care of those 3,000,000 to 5000, 900 which the 1919 report of the children's bureau of Washington declared are dying annually in the United States from hunger and mal- nutrition.
 "The Mexican Feminist Council also holds that aside from the gratuitous nature of the proposed philanthropic intervention, there is underlying q more sinister motive than the project ed foundation of hospitals, churches, asylums. and schools in every Mexi- can state, as 1t revealed by the fact that those persons finally supporting the movement are the same indivi- duals who have agitated most insls- tently for intervention and curtail- ment of Mexican liberties.
 "Financiers heading the list of pa irons of the so-called childhood con servation league are those bankers, oil barons, philanthropists and notable men who figure most prominently in societies and associations for the pro- tection of American rights in Mexico
 The Mexican Feminist Council calls upon every Mexican citizen. man or woman, to resist this over attack upon national self-respect and dignity and to find some means themselves of solving pressing problems of reconstruction.

FORMER FOE SHIPS
 TOUNITED KINGDOM
German Liners Under Stars and the Stripes Soon to Fly the Union Jack Order Issued by President Will
 son--Seven Ships Involved.

Washington, Dec. 26.-By the direc- tion of the president, the former Ger man passenger ships of the Impera tor group, now in New York harbor are to be delivered to Great Britain, the shipping board announced today.
 The vessels are those assigned to the United States after the armistice for repatriation of American troops, and designated by the inter-allied na- val council to be turned over to Great Britain under the armistice terms. The Imperator has already been de- livered to the British.
 In letter to Secretary Lansing made public today, John Barton Payne, chairman of the shipping board. said:
 "I am directed by the president to comply with the request in your let ter, transmitted to me this morning, in which you advise me that the seven ex-German passenger ships, to wit; Graf Waldersee, Zeppelin, Preoria, Cap Finistere, Mobile, Prinze Fried erick Wilhelm and Kaiserin Auguste Victoria, now in the harbor at New York, will be delivered to the repre- sentative of Great Britain as soon as the proper person is designated to re- ceive same"
 Delivery of the ships to Great Brit ain was delayed, as the shipping board wished to obtain fuel oil tankers for merly under the German flag.
 No action has been taken so far on this proposal and the transfer of for mer German ships to Great Britain is made without any explanation except that it was done by direction of the nresident.

Status nf Oil Tankers.

New York, Dec. 26.-At the office of the Standard Oil Company which claims ownership of the former Ger man flag tankers it was said that no word had been received as to the dis position of the ships. The tankers, twelve in number. and aggregating about 10000 tons, were in Hamburg when the armistice was signed. It was understood here that they were to be turned over to the Standard Oil Company, but instead they were or dered to the Firth of Forth for dis tribution among England, France, Bel gium, Italy and the United States.

PUBLIC IN ALIENS LABOR LAW
Governor Explained Industrial Court
 at Wichita.

Wichita, Kas. Dec, Ex-Governor Allen today spoke before the chamber of commerce here on the proposed court of industrial relations. The or ganization voted to indorse it. Gov ernor Allen said he anticipated opposi- ton from the coal operators and also from the radicals in union labor, who make a living fomenting strikes and disturbances, and was ready to let the issue be threshed out at this time.
 sThe general public roughly repre- sents 90 per cent of the population" :" he said. But in all previous boards of oonciliation the public has been left out of the reckoning This court will give the public a voice. The bill will apply to only four essential industries those of fuel mining, transportation, food and clothing. However the law will contain a provision enabling em- ployers and employees in other lines to avail themselves of advice and in formation, if both parties to the con- troversy desire it. The decrees of the court will be as binding as those of any other court of law and will ab- solutely protect the public in the four lines mentioned. Strikes or lockouts in these four industries will be ab- solutely forbidden.
 T am convinced that 65 per cent of the miners in the Pittsburg district are in favor of such legislation. But thus far they have been under the ab- solute power of Howat and his lead CTS. As result, strikes have been called on the most absurd pretext.

A Shortage of i Million Cattle in 1919
 Given as the Cause.

Chicago, Dec. ETA shortage of l million cattle in the year just closing will cause high prices for beef and beef products the next seven years at least, is declared by M. F. Horine, statistician for the Union Stockyards, in his annual report made public to- day

 An increase of BIT, 900 animals of all kinds received at the Union Stock yards for the year 1919 over 1918 is decreased 2q0,000.
