DECLARES MEXICO
 ISSATURATED WITH
 BOLSHEv|ST SPIRIT
By Associated Pres.

San Antonio, Tex, January 15.-Propa. gandists of bolshevism have spread their doctrine of radicalism from Sonora to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec within 8 year. the Senate subcommittee investi- gating the Mexican situation was told today by an American travelling sales man. The witness was heard in execu- tive session in order that he might be guarded to that extent against reprisals by Mexicans. He begged that his name be not used because he expects to re- turn to Mexico.
 Carranza, when forced to choose be- tween two small armies in the south, one led by the federal commander and the other known as the bolshevik force, de- clared in favor of the latter, he assured the committee. Striking laboring men in other districts, he said. were frank in their declaration of adherence to the radi- cal cause, and almost everywhere he went he found undisguised evidence of the sue cess of the extremist agitators.

MANY RED PREACHERS

Three months ago, according to his tes- timony, he was in Orizaba, south of Mex ico City, at the time strike was in effect. He attended meetings of the strikers and listened to speeches by rad teal agitators and to the crowds crying .svivas'' for the bolsheviki and for Russia
 It was in August, 1919, he said. that Carrarza upheld the militant radicals in Tabasco. A Mir. Green. who. the witness said, was a descendant of an American, had declared himself elected governor. E. He asserted Green was not the choice of the people, but Green had the local army and retained his power until the appearance of a federal force commanded by General Bertani, who, after listening to the complaints of the merchants and land owners, who alleged reprisals by Green, overpowered the local army.
 Greens troops were called the reds and the 'bolsheviki by the people in that state said the witness. 'lt seems Ser 'tani made a mistake in dsarming these troops" he added, because Carranza called him to account for it, and brought him to Mexico City, lectured him ana restored Green to power with an army to support him against the will of the people.
 Ever since that time Tabasco has nao two governors, one the people want ana one that Carranza wants.

American relief workers remained and did what they could. the Armenian cause was hopeless
 RELIEF ON BIG SCALE
 Also their American spirit revolted at the idea of quitting when things were really just beginning 10 hum. So for nine months they stayed in Armenia, iso- lated from the rest of the world They helped feed. clothe and equip the Armen- ian armies. They organized hospitals, orphanages. took million rouble contracts for supplies without even the legendary "shoestring" to back them, wrote drarts for hundreds of thousands of rouaieS without cent to their credit and pulled through in safety and without even days illness, while people around them were dying by thousands and disease was epidemic.
 It was not until long after the armistice that Arroll and Elder made their way out of the country they had helped to save. They returned with openly expressed ad- miration for the Armenian as a man and fighter. a clean fighter.
 Never in all our experience there did we see or hear of an Armenian soldier mojesting enemy woman or child, said Arroll. q want to go on record as say ing that the Armenian, man and nation, is well worth saving but unless America acts promptly there will be neither left to save"

who knew nothing about Mexican condi- tons.
 MT. Wilson seems to be hypnotized by MT Carranza," he added.
 "If the American government should cease to support Carranza he would not last % days. The merchants and business men of Mexico want law and order, but they cannot hope for such while the bol- shevik gang is upheld by the American government"
 As an indication of the openness with which bolshevism is taught in Mexico he told of a method employed in Guaya- mas. Sonora, when he was there year ago. A man was making speech in one O. the public parks.
 "The man got upon a bench and sang to attract the crowd,r the witness said "It was the hyrn of the bolsheviki When the crowd became larger he continued his speech and then he repeated the song. He had copies of the song printed in 8 pamphlet which he distributed Return ing to the bench he again sang, tnls tune the crowd joining in the song. The next evening the same man spoke in the the atre. his announced subject being The noctrine of Rolshevisn'.'

URGE ADOPTION OF SAM BROW N E BELT REGULATION UNIFORM

Washington, January 15.-The Sam Browne belt. discarded reluctantly by American officers returning from over seas duty. where it was required, may be added to the regulation uniform of the United States army, and other im- portant changes made if the recommen- dations of the division commanders and general staff in session here are adopt ed by the war department.
 Official announcement was made to- day that the conference had voted unanimously that the belt should be worn. Mai Gen Leonard Wood report- ed that nearly all officers in the cen tral department desired to be allowed to wear the belt.
 Virtually all officers present favored a roll collar uniform blouse, similar to the British and many were in favor of blue instead of olive drab for other than field service. They desired also to be permitted to wear civilian clothes off duty.

The Oldest Prouerb

NotIlong ago the most populous street in a we'll known southern city was disturbed by the changing of bells and chatter of emergency traffic rushing to a fire.
 The noise had scarce ly died away when there rushed into a large in surance office on this street a very excited wo- man-so excited that she was out of breath and could speak with difficulty.
 What is the matter, madam?" asked one of +the clerks.
 "I want a policy at once-at once!" ex- claimed the woman, when she had recovered sufficiently to articu- late. "Our house is on fire!"
 Probably the oldest proverb is that one about locking the stable door after the horse is stolen. But everybody knows that it may be. truthfully quoted about actual occurrences ev- cry day in the year.
 The only proper way for any man to handle his insurance is to place 1t all with some reliable firm like the Trustees System Tn sur ance Agency, 2024 First Ave- nue- which will under take to see that each policy is renewed abso- utely on time.
 A lapse of one day may be the one on which your home catches fire, your business burglar ized, your automobile suffers an accident, or you find yourself too i'll tn on tn work

 "I saw people in droves of thousands gathered around railroad stations. so hun gry they fought for orange peels. melon rinds and even egg shells which were thrown from trains. They would eat lit- orally anything in the shape of food" the commander said.
 "A 5-year-oid girl who, in spite of her emaciated condition, was one of the most beautiful children l have ever seen, was paraiyzed from starvation.
 My motor truck was proceeding along a country road just outside Trebizond when I caught sight of her sitting on wall.

 ASSISTANCE IMPERATIVE
 American assistance sufficient to put the Armenian government on it's feet is imperative at once,' said James O. Ar roll in his address. "Action must be prompt. The remnants of the Syrian Christians are being crushed to death, because of politicss while the Turk, de- feated but triumphant, is only waitiaN for the jealouses of the so-called great powers to give him his chance at the hemmed-in Armenians.'
 How Arroll and Elder came. to get into Armenia and their work there proved a fascinating story. Originally sent to Rus sia on a peaceful mission they went on into the Caucasus, where all sorts of ad- ventures awaited them
 Ordered out of the region by the Amer ican consul at Erivan when the Turks began to close in on the just organized Armenian republic, they simply stood pat and refused to go. They refused be- cause they had seen that unless some

ed that during the past three or four
weeks the output of cloth and yarn
has been less than 60 per cent of nor
NAL. There has been very little de-
mand for goods and for cotton, with
the result that prices have fallen to
new low levels.
Cotton consumption was smaller
during October than in any other
month since August, 1914, when the
outbreak of the world war completely
demoralized the industry. Consump-
ton during October was only 399,837
bales. This was about so per cent
less than the highest monthly con-
sumption reported during the recent
boom, the high point being 591,725
bales, which was reached last Janu-
ary.
Exports Of cotton have been run
ming at about the same rate as last
year and. the year before, the ship
ments during the season to Nov. 12
being 1851 615 bales this year as
against 1.362,437 last year and 1,142,-
224 the yea before. However, these
totals are far beolw those established
in the years before the world war.
In teh year 191v exports during the
season to November IL totaled >
278,291 bales. Furthermore, it is re-
ported in the trade that these eX
rorts represent, for the most part,
