pitched battle between several of them,
one of them shooting another to the
ground with a machine gun. Instantly
there is quiet. They all appear to be

falls to the ground with the regulation
thud. Great clouds of dust rise around
him. Then comes the Red Cross. One
large elephant, fitted out in Red

pretty soon, after the others have
walked slowly about the wounded one,

If you like musically inclined

to the panthers, ruled by good look

piano with four trained panthers about
her. AS she plays the panthers join in
the refrain and by striking bells with
their paws they accompany her. One
of them plays an obligato. The only
assistance the panthers receive from
their owner is nod of the head at
the time he is expected to ring his
bell. Which is not so bad for panthers.

has had many, many offers to take
them into large travelling circus, but
she has refused steadfastly because Of
the discomfort it causes her animals.
II do not care so much for my own
personal dislikes of the road" she
says, but shall not take the panthers
out over the country unless it is abso
lutely necessary. They work much
better If they are allowed to remain

For many seasons one has read on
the programs Of the Winter Garden
productions staged under the personal
direction of j. j. Shubert." By this is
meant that Mr.. Shubert has supervised
and arranged all of the scenes. Al
ways heretofore he has been assisted
by men in his Offices.
The unfolding of the Century Prone
made has served to introduce Mr.. Shu-
bert in new capacity. All of the SUI
pervlsory work connected with the
staging of both of these productions
was done by Mr.. Shubert, without the
aid of a director. 1t was he who Sc
lected the numbers, the costumes, the
scenery, rehearsed the company and
the chorus and lighted the scenes.
lhere1ore, Wnen one reads on the pro-
gram Of the Century Promenade that
the entire production has been staged
by j. j, Shubert it means little more
than the average person imagines.

PROTEST
TO MEXICO
United States objects to Continuance
of Carranza Program Against

critics.

TUnited Press Leased Wire ServiceJ
WASHINGTON, Sept. THE
United States has sent note visor-
ously protesting to the new Mexican
government against continuance of the
Carranza program against American
oil properties in Mexico, it was learn
ed today.
This government communication is
understood to leave the inference
that American recognition of the new
Mexican government will be found inn
possible if the confscatory policy of
Carranza toward American oil inter
ests is continued.
Carranza's policy of oil confiscation
took the form of various DEGREES and
legislation designed to nationalize oil
lands
This government cannot accept this
confiscatory policy, the note is be-
lieved to state and further is under
stood to point out that the opposition
to the Carranza program was clearly
set forth in a number of notes to the
old government.
The American note is said to be
aimed ostensibly at the alleged recog-
milton by the Mexican government of
announcement claims filed against
American oil lands.
According to representatives of
American oil companies in Mexico,
these claims asked permission to de-
velop the oil resources of land owned
by Americans. Recognition of the
claims was based on the contention
that the sub soil of oil land is owned
by the state.

Harding indicated today he does
not intend to be drawn into any
specific commitments regarding the
courses he would pursue as president
toward entering the league of nations
or reorganizing the Hague tribunal
"It is folly to talk about a,specific

Harding takes the position that he

the rapidly changing international
situation. Different conditions would
require different courses, he believes.

GRAND FORKS. N. D., Sept. T.
iCo-operative buying and selling by
Farmers was advocated by Governor
James NJ Cox in his first speech in
North Dakota here today. The gov
ernor warned that measures must be
taken to stop the trend from the farm
to city or within ten years the United
States will have to be importing food
Istuffs.
New antitrust laws, stating just
how far labor and cooperative farm
organizations may go in their work
should be passed, he said
"The farmers must compete now
with the manufacturer and for that
reason they should be allowed to keep
on purchasing and selling" Cox said.
He made a sharp attack on the big
packing and cold storage interests.
claiming that cold storage has been
made an agency of profiteering.
4The senatorial olighrchy formed
a conspiracy to hold civilization up
by its heels, in it's fight against the
treaty" the governor said.
Cox said Harding's appeal to put

nations into a revival of the Hague
tribunal was like trying to hitch up a
Ford auto and North Dakota OK.
With his fighting spirit apparently
increasing as he moves further west,
the governor was scheduled to make
speeches at Devils Lake and Minot
Several unexpected rear platform
talks probably will be made.
Noticing an editorial saying his
campaign was getting too rough. he
told Minneapolis crowds last night
that the republicans have started
"suuealing' under his attack.
This fight will not be a PINK lea
affair or a pillow fight and intend
TO make things much warmer during
the last month Of the campaign" he
said.
"They did not hesitate 70 jump on
a sick man when he was down." Cox
added, referring to the president.
The governor in this section Of the
northwest is stressing the league of
nations, progressive government and
his charge that republicans are seek
ing huge slush fund.

Despite this action confidence was

Media that manufacturers indirectly
grant the workers increased wages
