General Juan Cabril is pass
ing through Nogales, Sonora,
en- route to Mexico City.
Gen. Cabril was the first
Federal general to fight in the
State of Sonora under the re-
gime of the late President Ma
dero, in 1910. He fled to the
United States after the assass-
ination of his chief, and it was
while in this country that he be-
came active in various plots and
counter-plots against the Car
rama administration.
He was arrested by United
States officers while endeavor-
ing to smuggle munitions across
the border at Nogales, Arizona,
and sentenced, under this coun-
try's neutrality laws, to two
years Imprisonment, at Tucson.
Fifteen days ago, Gen. Cabril
was liberated, and is now on his
way to Mexico City, at the in
vitation of President Obregon,
who has offered him a post in
the Federal Army similar to
that which he occupied prior to
his adventurous career as ar re-
volutionist.

Outlines S Aims
Of Democracy
UNITED Press Service)

WASHINGTON, Dec. Z. =
President Wilson today called or
Congress to enact a program o.
legislation which HI said woulC
put the United States in the
forefront of the movement tt
make the spiritual power OF
Democracy prevail throughout
! the world.
! In the course of a final reg
ular message to Congress, SEN
to the two Houses, today by
messenger, the President sale
there are two ways in which the
United States can lead in es
tablishing the doctrine of fright
makes might" in the world. He
said the first Of these is "by Of
fering an example within hel
own borders of the will an6
power of Democracy to make
and enforce laws which are un-
questionably just and which are
equal in their administration"
Second, by standing for right
and justice toward individual
nations. The President declared
that an immediate manifesto
tion on the part of our own Con-
gress to remedy any injustice
or evils that may have shown
themselves in our national life
will afford the most effectual
offset to the forces of chaos and
tyranny which are playing so
disastrous a part in the fortunes
of free peoples in more than one
part of the world.
Wilson did not mention the
peace treaty nor the League OF
Nations, but submitted the fol
lowing program to carry out
the aims that he had outlined !:
Immediate passage OF the
budget bill; strictest economy
in government appropriations
immediate revision of tax laws
adequate provision for disabled
soldiers and sailors; a govern
ment loan to Armenia; granting
of independence to the Phil
lipines.

SUGGESTIONS FOR
CHRISTMAS TIME

If anyone doubts that Chsist
mas is approaching, he has but
to glance at the pretty and in
teresting displays in the win
dows of stores along Morley Ave.
to be convinced.
Each shows an individuality
and attractiveness of it's own
and unfortunately space forbids
mention of them all. The dis
play of pretty candy boxes in
the window of the French
store almost makes ones mouth
water, so what will the actual
contents do? Mr.. Bruce, who
runs the cigar stand in the
Evans has just received a very
fine lot of Christmas cards from
Los Angeles and San Francisco
besides some special novelties
that make the window of the
Evans very attractive.
All in all, it is safe to say that
Morley Avenue will quite come
up to expectations during those
last few critical days before the
25th, when the main st e M
of Nogales will resemble the
lone " drag" of an early Ell
Dorado with it's hustle and ac-
tivity.

In His Message
Omitted Press Service)

WASHINGTON, Dec. Z. -
The following are the outstand-
ing points of President Wilson S
message to Congress: 'The day
has come when Democracy is
being put to its final test. /
ca, nestly hope that one Of the
first steps taken by the present
Congress will be to pass the
budget bill. The fundamental
facts which at present DOM
mate the governments finan-
cial situation is that seven and
a half billions of this war in
debtedness mature within the
next two and a half years.
Simplification of income and
profits taxes has become an
immediate necessity. Briefly,
the immediate legislative neces-
sity Of the time, is remova: OF
all obstacles to the realization
of the best ambitions of our
people.
II earnestly suggest that Con-
gress authorize the Treasury of
the United States to make to
the struggling government of
Armenia such loan as was made
to the several Allied govern
ments during the war. 1t is now
our liberty and out duty to keep
Jour promise to the Filipinos
by granting them the independ-
ence which they so honorably
covet."

CuIiaCan a Model
of Progress With
Promising Future

MIR. Willis S. Hunt, who is re-
turning today to his home in
Culiacan, speaks enthusiastical-
y of the steady growth of this
9nterprising city, in Sinaloa,
With prosperous farms to the
west and extensive mines to the
east.
The year 1904 marked the
first peaceful invasion of the
state of Sinaloa by a small but
enthusiastic party of Ameri-
cans. Having obtained a con-
cession from the government to
survey the state, it was not long
before they realized the adj
vantages and possibilities that
were on every hand, and with
characteristic American push
they proceeded to develop the
resources that were so abundant
The land is admirably adapted
for agricultural development,
and hardly a day passes without
two or three, or a party of pros
nectiye landowners crossing the
international line with the
ultimate object of settling in
some part Of Sinaloa.
Mr.. Hunt is the last man of
that party of three who made
the initial surveys of the state,
and while he is reticent as to his
own participation, it is evident
from the wide commercial and
soci al acquaintance he en-
joys that he has been chiefly
instrumental in making Culia-
can the prosperous city that it
is.
There is large American
colony there, and every day this
is being augmented by the COM
ing Of prospective settlers.
Last week two ranchers from
Santa Ana, a progressive little
town itself, in California, cross
ed to look over the agricultural
possibilities of the state. This
is to say nothing of the frequent
parties that make the same trip
with the same object in view.
There is feeling of con-
fidence in the immediate COM
n1er9ial future, due largely to
the fact that both Harding and
Obregon are considered the
right men to guide the des-
TIMES of their respective coun-
tries.
There are two newspapers
printed in Spanish in Culiacan,
la Voz de Sinaloa," and the
Eco Sinaloense." 1t is said. an
American paper would be well
ONE and would receive no
mall amount of support.
Culiacan is the oldest Spanish
ity in Mexico, it is said, the
'irst early adventurers having
let foot there in 1929.
