Mexico City, June 15.-Peaceful re-
lations between Mexico and the Unit
ed States will continue through the
next administration, whether Senator
Harding or Democratic nominee is
elected, officials of the Mexican re-
volutionary government declared here
today in interviews with a United
Press staff correspondent, regardless
of the policy of intervention avowed
in the Republican national platform.
General Obregon, who headed the
recent successful revolution, said he
believed Harding is a friend to Mexi-
co and that the hostile attitude of
the Republican party toward this coun-
try is due to antagonism against Presi-
dent Wilson rather than any real an
imosity toward Mexico.
The Democratic nominee, whoever
he may be, it is generally believed here
will be a man who is in sympathy
with the policies Of President Wilson.

NOT TOO LATE . TO GET BATTLES
 INTO DISCHARGE

If you went over the top and it didn't get in your service-record book it isn't too late yet to have it fixed, according to The Stars and Stripes, Washington, D. c.
 Secretary Baker says it isn't. It will take little effort on your part, but it can be done. Here's how:
 If your outfit took part in an en- gagement and the morning reports do not show you absent from your organization you can get credit for being among those present by making a sworn statement that you were on the job and sending it to the Adju- tant General with a certificate from an officer or the sworn statement of an enlisted man that he knows you were actually there.
 If you do this the Secretary of War says that it shall be considered that you participated in the engage ment, and a statement to that effect may be indorsed on your discharge certificate when requested.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
 fAVORS SOLDIERS BONUS

The favorable disposition of the House of Representatives towards the bonus plan for ex-service men was clearly indicated by the recent adop- tion, by vote of 325 to 4, of rule referring all bills dealing with sol- diers' bonuses to the Ways and Means Committee with instructions to report a comprehensive measure for land and monetary bonuses to soldiers of the World War.
 The understanding is that the bill is to be reported at this session, and there is every assurance that when a measure of this kind is completed it will be speedily passed by both Hous- es of Congress.
 In case it is decided to comply with the plan urged by the American Le- zion and allow $50 to officers and men for each months service, the sum of nearly $2,O0O, ,O0O, 900 will be re- quired for the purpose, and this will apparently necessitate another big bond issue. The advocates of this plan claim, however, that the Ameri- can people would be glad to purchase such bonds.

AMERICAN LEGION TO PUT UP FIGHT
 FOR REAL BONUS

(By The Stars and Stripes Service)
 Washington: The American Legion is going to come back to life on the bonus question.
 State Commanders or their respre- sentatives from every State in ses- sion at Indianapolis have decided that the bonus resolution put through at Minneapolis does not represent vet eran sentiment, and determined that a real fight shall be made before Con- gress for a real bonus.
 A $50 liberty bond for every month served is the basis of the new Legion attitude. This is believed satisfactory to the majority of veterans and to hundreds of local Legion Posts which have been demanding that the organ ization take definite, vigorous pro- bonus stand.
 The national legislative committee, acting on the determination reached at Indianapolis, immediately asked Chairman Fordney, of the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Representatives, for a hearing on the bonus. Fordney replied it wouldn't be possible for two weeks. The Legion officers believe it can be had sooner.

HOW HUNTERS MAKE FISH
 SCENT TO ATTRACT ANIMALS

An effective fish scent for use in trapping wolves, coyotes, wild cats, and other carnivorous animals may be prepared in the following way, ac- cording to the Biological Survey, Uni ted States Department of Agricll- ture.
 Any kind of fish may be used, but such oily varieties as sturgeon, eels, trout, suckers, and carp are preferred. The flesh should be ground in a saul sage mill, placed in strong tin or iron cans, and left in a warm place to de- compose thoroughly. Each can must be provided with a small vent to allow the escape of gas, otherwise there is danger of explosion, but the aperture must be screened with fold of cloth to prevent flies depositing eggs, as the scent seems to lose much of it's quail ity if a considerable number of mag gots develop.
 Time Gives Strength
 This scent may be used within three days after it is prepared, but it is more lasting and penetrating after a lapse of 30 days.
 Fish scent alone has been used with excellent results, but several modifi- cations are highly recommended. Us- ing the decomposed fish as basis, mice, beaver castors, musk. glands from minks, weasels, muskrats, and the bladders of coyotes and bobcats may be added. Oil gives body to the scent and to a certain extent prevents freezing in zero weather. If the mix ture appears too thin, glycerin, brains, fish oil, butter fat, or such other ami nal oils as fat from woodchucks and ground squirrels may be added.
 Good System for. Hunters
 An excellent system for a hunter to follow is to commence with quantity of ground fish placed in large iron containers, similar to milk can. AS the original lot is used on the trap line, it should be replenished by add ing more fresh fish and others of the mentioned. The addition from time to time of new material seems to improve the quality of the scent mixture.

PHONE USERS MAY KICK ON
 THESE RATES

(By The Stars and Stripes Service)
 Paris, FranceI-Americans with their cheap telephone rates, over which everybody at home always kicks, may consider themselves lucky they do not have to pay the rates charged in France under an increase going into effect in the near future.
 Phones in private residences will cost $40 per annum, in apartment houses $200 per annum, and in hotels and restaurants $240 per annum.
 The government is also raising do- mestic postage to 25 centimes in place of 15 centimes, and telegraph tolls will be 15 centimes per word in place of centimes.

 "Yes," replied Chesterton in a grieved tone, land if they don't they ask."-Argonaut.

VALUE OF RUBY

The ruby, weight for weight, is more valuable than the diamond. A pigeons-blood ruby weighing five carats will sell for five times more than diamond of the same weight. The greatest ruby mines in the world are at Mogok in Upper Burma. Bur ma not only produces the finest rub ies, but it's output is greater than that of all other countries combined.

LET THE BOYS LIE IN FRANCE
 SAY PARIS VETS

(By The Stars and Stripes Service)
 Paris, France.-Paris Post, No. 1 American Legion, placed itself strong | ly on record at its monthly meeting recently against any removal of American dead lying in France. This action was taken after lengthy dis cussion was indulged in by the men whose "buddies" sleep their last sleep in the soil of the country for which they gave their lives. As a result, a strong cable has been sent to the headquarters of the Legion in the Uni ted States urging action by all Posts in the country against the removal of the bodies from the beautiful ceme- teries in French soil.
 In the opinion of former soldiers this natural desire of parents and oth- CT relatives of the men who fell here to have the bodies brought home has been encouraged and fostered by the undertakers of the United States who are looking for additional easy profits. The men in Paris believe that the last wishes of the soldiers themselves should be respected in this matter, and these ex-service men are absolu- tely certain that their buddies would have preferred that their bodies be left in France rather than be dug up again and sent to. the United States.
 A Bitter Disappointment
 It was pointed out by several of the speakers that the natural desire of the parents or relatives would be to open the collins expecting to find there the boy they had sent away. Instead they would forever destroy the loving picture they might have carried with them of their son in life. Paris Post believes the transporta- tion of the bodies to the homeland would open old griefs which time has already partially healed, and for that one reason alone there should be no removal. Could the mothers of Amer ca have been at the meeting and heard experiences VI bOliC O1 Illc lOIIlCT x1s E. F. members who were engaged in interring their dead, they would be content to let them remain.
 Memorials in France.
 One suggestion made at the Post was that a movement should be start ed in the United States for the erec- tion of memorial monument in each town, upon which would be inscribed the names of the dead from that town, and that this should be decorated by relatives and friends as if the bodies were really sleeping there. This beau- tiful custom is followed in France, and on all special days the monu- ments in the village cemeteries are piled high with floral offerings to the sons who gave their lives for their country.
