LAUGHTER HOLDING
BOTH HIS SIDES

If you, want to see bona fide spe-
cimenof made-to order laughter be
sure to notice the stomach laugh"
which ]. Farrell Mcdonald registers
in one of the scenes of "This Hero
Stuff" the satirical comedy in which
William Russell will be seen at the
Royal Theatre today.
The scenario prescribed that Rus
sell command Macdonald to laugh
heartily in order to cover his escape
from room without exciting suspi-
cion. When Director King of the
ely A" gave the signal to start the
action, Macdonald burst into such
uproarous and realistic laughter that
everyone on the set at the time Won
dered what it all could be about,
Later Macdonald explained that he
had merely rehearsed mentally a story
J. Barney Sherry told him during one
Of the recess. periods. History re-
:ordeth not whether the tale was re-
peated for the delectation of the null
titude.
However that may be, there will be
millions of whole-souled and spontan-
eous laughs created in American pic
ture-houses by this new Russell pic
ture, for it's enc fthe most or
iginal and humorous stories Stephen
Fox has ever turned out. 1t gives
athletic "Big Bill" the role of cap
tain newly returned from overseas
with medals galore for gallant b,
havior under extreme danger. Far
from being elated over the honor
heaped upon him at every turn how
ever Russell is profoundly annoyed
and thinks up bizarre scheme to
shatter his heroic reputation. His
maneuvers involve him in all sorts
of predicaments, tangle him in love
affair and finally land him in hotel
| bed with broken head, and a brand
new reputation for extraordinary he
roism! You see he is hero in spite
of himself.
Russell plays up to the opportu-
mites of this unique part for all he's
worth and gives the screen a char
acterization that will long live in the
memory of those who see "This Hero
Stuff"
He is assisted by a remarkably
capable cast embracing WinifreC

was sentenced to pay a fine of
$4,000, with two years Imprisonment
in the federal penitentiary at Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas, being the full
extent. of the law.
Just before Judge Sessions pro-
nounced sentence counsel for defence
interposed motions for stay of judg-
ment and a new trial, which motions
were denied.

evening at 5 o'clock the jury returned
a verdict at 11:20 o'clock a. NJ. to-
day.
The jury found that. Newberry had
conspired with his associates to
cause expenditure during the cam

of large sums of money in excess of
the amount allowed under the federal
corrupt practices act.
The sentence imposed upon New
berry was maximum. Sixteen others
convicted along with Newberry were
sentenced to terms ranging from one

way of demonstrating this, they say,
than by the Presidents delivering his

PARIS, March 2O.-Dispatches re
ceived here indicate that Germany's
movement toward radicalism has
grown beyond control of !. govern
ment. Many of the country's prin-
cipal cities are in hands of CON-
munists.
At least 1000 lives have been lost
in violent Notwithstanding to re-
ports.
Labor unions have conferred with
the Ebert government and agreed to
ends the general strike. The gov
ernment has made concessions agree
ing to form new cabinet with strong
er representation of labor.
In earlier statements the govern
ment said they would make no con-
cessions under pressure. Presumably
they were forced through fear of the
spread of radicalism to recede from
that attitude. There is indication
however, that the radicals have pass
ed beyond control of their own lead
ers. 1t seems doubtful that a mere
order to end the strike will have
much effect on the people.
At Kiel sailors were reported to
have mutinied, Selling warships, and
deposing their officers. The. captain
of one ship shot himself. More than
$50 sailors are said to have been kill
ed fighting in the city.
The following named cities are re-
ported in the hands Of radicals:

was learned today that despite the
Senate's rejection of the peace treaty,
President Wilson will continue parti-
cipation in settlement of questions
growing out of the war.
Two reasons were given by high Of
ficials for justifications of the United
States in continuing to have a voice
in exercise of settlements:
First: if this country ever be-
comes a member of the League of
Nations it will be interested in de-
cisions now being reached on inter-

ligated to uphold all such decisions.
Second: The United States should
continue to participate in settlement

WILL CARRANzA
Be PRESIDENT
AGAIN?
BY RALPH H. TURNER

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
CITY OF MEXICO, March 10. (By
Cable) 1t is a dull week indeed that
dosent bring forth a new turn in the
political conjecture in Mexico's presi-
Dental race. And the past week has
not been dull one. This is the ques-
tion Mexico is asking herself today:
"Does Venustiano Carranza intend
to continue the presidential chair?"
Decidedly not, Ca1ranza replies.
According to Carranza's own state
ment, he will not remain in office
"a single day after the first of Decem-
ber" the date when his term expires.
This statement which appeared origin
ally in Ell Democratic, a government
organ, was accompanied by the edit
or's declaration that contemporary
had published "an insidious notice to
the effect that certain political
group was comforting privately to con-
slider keeping the President in power
without violoting the constitution.
In refuting this suggestion, Caran-
20 was quoted as saying that mas
much as reelection was prohibited, he
would not violate the spirit of the con-
stitutiQn by remaining in office, even
though this could be done in a con-
stitutional way. He declared fur
ther, according to Ell Democratic, that
in case internal events prevented the
hold of the election Congress
would designate the new executive.
But the Presidents statement, while
exercising certain quieting effect
upon the campaign situation has not
entirely stopped the discussion in pol
itical circles that Carranza may sue
ceed himself. Basis of this discus
sion generally based on two points:
/. The President may declare that
the pacification Of the nation is not
yet so complete as to permit the hold
ing of the elections, thereby extend
ing his term of office.
2. Controversy over the election
may lead Congress to declare it illegal
following this action by naming a man
to enter upon the new term.
In event of the second development
the newspaper Excelsior (independ>
ent) has pointed out, Carranza un-
doubtedly would be designated as the
provisional president.
The Excelsior asserts that the new
constitution provides:
"In case of the absolute lack of a
President during the first two years
of presidential term, Congress shall
Immediately elect a President, the
same Congress to convoke new presi-
Dental elections, arranging for these
to take place as near as possible to
the next elections for congressman
and senator's"
This means according to the Excel
sior, that should Congress declare the
elections illegal, or should the presi-
dent-elect resign for the sake of peace
Carranza would be named to hold of
flee for two years longer or until
1922, when the next congressional
elections are scheduled.
it would be best for Mexico if Car

OIL CAUSE S
FRICTION IN
MEXICO
By RALPH H. TURNER

TAMPICO, Feb. IA. (By Mail) of
all the dieagreements which have aris-
en- to create friction between Mexico
and the United States, none has caus-
ed more heated controversy than the
oil question, none is more vitally i'm
portant to both nations and none is
more involved in its interpretations.
, however, that settlement is in sight
that an agreement may be effected
The hope generally expressed today,
by Carranza relinquishing some of his
more drastic contentious and by the
oil men, in turn, conceding some
ground. This view is based upon
President Carranza's recent action in
granting provisional permits for drill
ing and upon the interview given the
United Press in Mexico City by Lui~
Cabrera, Minister of the Treasury, in
which Cabrera said he believed peace
was possible if the oil men "would get
together with the government and talk
things over"
The genesis of the petroleum con-
troversy lies in the famous Article
27 of the new constitution which
declares that Gin the nation is vested
direct ownership of all minerals or
substances which in veins, layers,
masses or beds constitute deposits
whose nature is different from the
components of the land, such as pet
roleum and all hydro o-carbons, solid,
liquid or gaseous" Mexico's claim
to the ownership, or her nationaliza-
tion, of sub-surface rights, is the crux
Of the oil debate.
Oil men, in their attitude today, may
be said to represent three ella 5ses OF
opinion.
1. The "irreconcilables," those who
insist that the policy of the Mexican
government, as predicated on the con-
stitution, is unjust, retroactive, con-
fiseatory and contrary to the prin-
ciples of international law.
2. Those who are willing to COM
promise possibly conceding the prin-
ciple of national ownership, if they
are allowed to operate under fair and
practical conditions.
3. Theose who agree whole heart
edly with the Carranza rulings and
are ready to abide by them without
reservations. This elias is greatly IN
the minority, generally representing
operators who are new in the field
and whose holdings an unaffected by
any retroactive features the law ma
possess.
Those who are ready to compromise
however, are loath to agree to the
laws retroactive qualities. 1t is un-
just and confiscatory, they say, that
lands which they acquired prior toMay
1917, when the new constitution be-
came effective. should be turned over
to the government. By denounce-
ment process anyone may apply for
the right to develop oil lands. Com
panies may denounce their holdings
but the large interests generally have
refrained from so doing, because such
