holders to possess liquor for the use
OF themselves and their guests was
bound to make trouble, for the An
ti-SaloOn League never approved Of
It. AS most OF the federal officers
operating under the act appear to
be identified with that organiza-
ton il is natural that their extreme
views should come into conflict with
local authorities having nothing but
the law to go on and intent upon
asserting their duly authorized con.

lowed by a court on the ground that
the beverage was found in a private
residence and had not been offered
for sale Hearing OF this, a man
claiming to be a federal prohibition
agent promptly 9Verruled the court
and undertook to confiiscate tho
property. As he could show no sat
isfaetory credentials, the prescott
ing attorney and other county Off
GERS oVerpowered him, recaptnred
the beverage and put II In storage

This IS the situation which has
induced the Supervisor of Pronib-
ton for Enforcement for the Cen
trail Division to ask authority from
Washington to lea dan armed force
INTO Iron County to subdue what he
calls a rebellion. The Anti-Saloon
League, represented by hero who

law, and there Is a strident demand
for reinforcements If it is not con-
venient to send the army and navy
at once, perhaps Commissioners
Roper and Kramer will be able to
recruit enough Anti-Saloon gunner
to make solitude of IRON County
and beat the United States Senate

A matter that should be settled
soon at Washington by the highest

be enforced, like other laws, by the

CHANGE NOTED IN

Mexico City, May 23.-One of the not able results of the latest revolution has been the disappearance from Mexico City papers which formerly were strong sup porters of the Carranza administration of the line "Servicio International over stories which could hardly be construed as favoring the United States.
 It long has been common knowledge that the foreign office, under the Car ranza administration, maintained a very efficient department, manager by Mex ican journalist, Manuel Carpio, to keep informed on what was printed in foreign countries about Mexico Clipping agen- cies, furnished news stories and special : articles, especially from United States and Latin-American papers, while Mexi- can diplomats and consulS also contrib uted Stories unfavorabe to Mexico and administration officials were especially noted, and if the writer were in Mexico, he received 8 free ride to tn border under article 33 of the constitution.
 Any clippings supporting tn "Carranza doctrine" from Latin-American papers were distributed, while the Central Amer ican Union idea also was given liberal publicity Some of the stories contained charges of corruption of American states men, diplomats or government officials by American oil interests.
 One story prported to give sensational proof of espionage by the United States in Mexico" and another claimed that an American organization had spent ml- lions of dollars to hurt this country.
 Mexico City newspapers have emerged from the revolution somewhat altered. El Monitor Republican, the Obregon organ, disappeared when Obregon and its gem eral manager Gen. Banjamin Hill, Iett the cnty on the eve of the anti -Carranza movement Mexico Nuevo, the Gonzales paper, was suppressed by Gen. Francisco Murguia on May 1, when Generol Con- gales was reported absent. There was al first a shift in the general manager ship of Fl Heraldo De Mexico from V. Alesio Robles reputed Obregon support CT to Baltazar Fernandez Cue, and the paper became pro-administration, but with the arrival of the liberal revolution ary forces, Senor Robles resumed the management of that paper.

BRITAIN SHREWD
 IN FINANCIAL DEAL

Buenos Aires May 3-Although the
 agreement on the part of the British gov
 ernment to pay off the $50 00OOo owed by Argentina to United States bankers, payable May l5, has been hailed here as
 an act of friendship, official publicity has not yet been given to the under
 standing in banking circlesS that the
 agreement was only a conditional part
 of an ingenious financial arrangement which enables Great Britain to pay her own $100 eco debt to Argentina without
 serding to this country single cent. Not only is this s50O00,000 to be cred-
 ited by Argentina against Great Britain S obligation, but the rema ming $50 0O00,
 after being renewed, is to be gradually
 extinguished through an arrangement whereby Great Britain for a certain pe- riod pays in London and the interest on the principal part of Argentina ex- , tornal debt, bankers have learned Thus far the Argentine government which was unable to get a renewal of the loan in the United States, has made pub 1 lie only the fact that Great Britain has agreed to take care of the obligation in l behalf of Argentina, and La Epoca,
 the government organ has praised the transaction as an evidence of Great Brit
 aims friendship to Argentina and of great
 promise for the future relations of the | two countries.
 Bankers say there is no doubt but that the payment by Great Britain of Argen- tina's debt has greatly increased the prestige of the British in this country, and has been correspondingly detrimental to that of the United States, but call attention to the fact that the transaction is not without it's advantage to Great Britain also
 q regre it very much" said the Ar genuine banker to the Associated Press correspondent but fear the failure of the American bankers to renew our loan.
 and the fact that Great Britain has stepped into the breach and paid it,
 mean a loss of economic good will toward the United States. While the complete | transaction is a good business deal for Great Britain, the fact stands out in public opinion that the British did what l the American would not We in fnan-
 cial circles understand that money is
 badly needed for domestic purposes in ! the United States Nevertheless, Britain and America are represented waging commercial contest for trade in Ar gentina. The economic effect of the transaction in favor of British prestige is obvious.'
 As told in local banking circles the best. terms that Finance Minister Saa- berry could get from the American bank CTS on his recent trip to the United States was renewal of the S50,0O00W for five years at : per cent. the bankers ask ins delivery of the new bonds at 92. which would have been equivalent to an
 interest of 9A per cent. The maturing loan was at per cent.
 Turning to the British government through a prominent Anglo-Argentine banker the minister was able to get a loan of s50,O00 0O0 at 5 per cent to pay off the Americans. This he was able to do it is pointed out, because of condi- tions which enable Great Britain to pay her own obligation to Argentina, sl0U,- oo0,oOo credit for cereals, on favorable terms.
