From Poverty 10 Riches
According TO his enemies, in his
youth Don Pablo Gonzales was a
peon in a factory at $50 month
Today he IS considered one or the
richest in Mexico. both in real estate
and personal property How did he
work the miracleZ
By becoming general The
render must neither laugh nor give
this statement n false interpretation
To be n general in Mexico means a
great deal more, from pecuninry
standpoint. than IL does in any other
country on earth, however, rich the
country may be.
IL must be understood OF course
that by general mean one in com
mand OF troops: because the general
not in command Of troops IN Mexico
Is a poor devil who draws a miser-
able salary (when II is not withheld
under accusation OF dlsloyalty 70 me
government) and whose only hope OF
advancement lies in j new revolution
that may give him command Of few
forces
Does Not Give Accounting
Military administration as IL IS
organized in all modern countries
does not exist in Mexico The chief
IN command OF troops receives di-
rectly from the government the
money needed for their maintenance,
and he distributes 1t as he pIeases
The president OF the republic takes
good care not TO ask him for ex-
plantations. nor is an accounting ever
demanded
such an offensive curiousity on the
part OF the president would be
deemed intolerable by the gentleman
in command OF the troops, and he
would protest against ii by rising in
arms against the constituted au-
thority.
This Il the reason why n general
in active service does not need to
violate the rights Of private property
TO increase his income. All he has
TO do Il to keep n portion Of the
money sent him by the government.
The worst Of it is that the majority
OF the Mexican generals are two
handed. as Obregon puts 10, and
while they loot the public treasury
with one hand to keep the other busy
they pick the pockets Of private indi-
viduals.-Copyrigh 1920. by V Blasco

Spanish Peasants Say Luna's Ances. tcrs Stole 25 GOO Acres of
 Fertile Soil.

Huesca, Spain.-The provincial gov ernor has been informed by a delega- tion representing local peasants that they intend to seize the lands now held by the duke Of Luna. confending that he is wrongfully in possession of .hem.
 The delegates argued that the dukes ancestors stole the lands. which he now refuses them permission to cul, tivate. They declared that the dukes estate in the neighborhood constituted 25,000 acres of fertile soil. the culti vation of which would furnish liveli hood to several thousand persons, who not being allowed to cultivate the land. were compelled to emigrate.
 The governor. while recommending prudence on the part of the peasants promised to remain neutral In the dis pute.

MAKING DIAMONDS POSSIBLE
President of Dutch Workers Union Admits Artificial Process May
 Be Known.

Amsterdam.-Henry Polnk, presi- dent of the Dutch Diamond Workers union, says It Is not impossible that a German explosives firm has dis covered how to manufacture diamonds artificfally. as it claims to have done The chief difficulty is to obtain an unbelievably powerful pressure under the right circumstances, Nj. Polak ex plained. Since 1t is manufa cturer of explosives which is reported to have discovered the method of making dia- monds. he said it was possible that eXperimenters had succeeded in ob- taining the desired pressure.
 NJ Polak expressed some doubt as to whether diamonds could be manufac- tured artificially at less than the cost of mining them.
 It was recently announced in Berlin that dynamite company of Hamburg had obtained the patent for the man dfacture of diamonds and was in a position to produce several hundred casats daily at a cost less than the present world price for the natural stones.

 FOUND ON STAMp
Discove cd in Pennsylvania Uni veIs,ty's Col ection of Tablets
 From Babylonia.
IT IS A LIEEN:sS OF I8I-SIN
Picture of the Laat King of UT Is on Clay Stamp and Is as Clearly Defined as the Day It
 Was Made.

Philadelphia, Pa.--What is believefi to be the oldest portrait of human being has been discovered in the Uni versity of Pennsylvania's museum col lection of clay tablets from Babylonia according to an announcement by Gu rator Lagrain of the Babylonian sec ton. The portrait Is on clay s'post- age stamp" which also served as a seal for a registered package, dated about 23O0 B. c.
 It Is likeness of Ibi-Sin, the last king of UT, known to Bible students as UT of the Chaldee.
 The package or sack bearing the seal. Doctor Lagrain said, appears to have been sent by the high priest of the Temple of UT, in which Abraham later worshiped, to banker named Shulpae, and probably contained gold.
 Shows Personal Appearance.
 "It is of unusual importance to archeologlsts," he added, because it probably gives clew to the personal appearance of the Sumerians.
 "The portrait Is on clay stamp. It is as clear and distinct and the fea- lures as we'll defined as the day 1t was made. The astonishing thing is that It shows the god-king as smooth shaven. It is significant that the pie tute shows lock of hair projecting in the forehead from beneath the tur- ban hat and another from behind.
 ihi-Sin Was Different.
 Before the days of Ibi-Sin we never heard of a king giving any one seal containing his portrait. but in this instance the seal not only dis tinetly says the king-god gave the seal to the high priest of the Temple of Ur, but shows picture of the event.
 Possibly the fact that Tbi-SIn was the last of his dynasty and may have seen the end coming, was responsible for this remarkable gift"

MUST. DECLARE ATTITUDE
Independent Nations Must Speeifia
 cally Accept or Reject League

Geenva, Dec. 4.-Under motion submitted to the league of nations to- day by the delegates from Argentina all independent nations of the world which desire to remain out of the league must make specific declaration of their attitude or they will be vot~ ed in as members.
 Should the motion prevail this would probably result in Germany becoming member. That nation has already declared it's readiness to become member, and has only been kept out by the hostility of France, which threatened to withdraw as a member if Germany were admitted
 It would also put it squarely up to the United States to approve or reject the league as it is now or- ganized.

BITTER TOWARD FATHERLAHD
Curse Their Flag and Denounce Coun- try for Not Exchanging Them ? 5000 Remain in Russian
 Prison Camps.

Stettin, Germany.--Every contin- gent of German war prisoners ar irving here from Russia contains a number Of ragged, unshaven. haggaro men who have been made insane by suffering during many months in Hus' sian prison camps.
 In three weeks the German govern ment sent 200 of these men to fn- sane asylums and sanitariums fof treatment. A few have spells of SYio- lence and during these periods must be kept under guard. but the majori' ty present listless, woe-begone aspect. They look about with dull. unseeing eyes, or sit quietly weeping unconscious of the fact that they are home again.
 The families and friends of the in- sane soldiers are allowed to greet them and to give them food and clothes before they are sent away for treatment.
 Curses His Own Flag.
 Nearly all the prisoners exhibit the most intense bitterness not only to- ward Russia, but toward the German government as well. One of them, who had lost a leg and an arm, and who, it was learned, had been taken prisoner early in the war and has been confined in many Russian prison camps. shook his fist at German flag when he arrived, and cursed his country, his people, and all other countries and peoples.
 "To- with Germany 2" he shout ed. "That is not my flag and Ger many is not my fatherland."
 He then turned to the other pris- oners and. pointing to his wounds said:
 "This is what Germany has done to me. This is what kindly father land has permitted. Why didn't they exchange me? Because l have only one leg and one arm? lost them fighting for Germany and all the thanks rve had for lt were the rot ten years in 8 Russian prison"

 POOR UNHAPPY
Peasants Work From Dawn to Dark and Have Little to Eat
 Except Corn Bread.
HALF lF CHILDREN SURVIVE
iiones Are Made Attractive on tho Outside, Although They Are Bare or Comforts-Peasants Are
 Simple and Honest.

Belgrade, Serbia.-To the American visitor accustomed 10 the ordinary comforts Of life it is a constant source Of wonder how the peasants and poor of the Balkans can live on the meager food they have. Poor cornhread, sup plemented by goats cheese or ordinary leek or onions, forms the diet Of a large part of the village population. This slender regime produces robust bodies, strong muscles and rosy cheeks. The adage that bread is the staff of life finds it's best proof here.
 On the whole, the poor of the Bal kan countries have an unusually hard lot in life. Their poverty is practically permanent. Their plight seems to ex- cite little sympathy From those who gre well off. There .s caIloused in- difference to the sufferings of the poor which strikes an American as almost heartless. In few if any of the Bal kan states does the government make any provision for care of the poor. This work in the past has been left largely to foreign relief agencies and private chal liable organizations.
 Eiaht-Hour Day Unknown.
 The eight-hour working day so com mon in the United States is unknown iR the Balkan rural districts. The peasant works from sunrise until after dark. He is so bent and weather beaten that he looks twice his age aft CT thirty. In some cases he belongs to one of the nomadic tribes and leads an existence unknown in the country districts of America. At night one often passes whole wagon loads of them on the road going from town to town. Every man is asleep on his load, and Is not disturbed by thoughts of burglars or highwaymen.
 The peasant removes his hat to everyone better dressed than himself and gets his OX-cart off the road for every automobile. He Is simple honest, home-lov!ng person with much homely virtue. The peasant women hSve enormous families of children. only about half of whom survive the rigors of child-life in the extreme conditions that prevail in the Balkans.
 Cottages Are Crude.
 The peasants cottages are crude structures with thatched roofs and mud walls. But they contiive to adorn them ith e.'-active erior and take great D. as to produce th utmost decorative effect. This em hellfshment frequently takes the for-9 Of porch with small background bearing a border design whose con trasting colors and composition sug- gest the patterns used by the Maya. jos of the American Southwest in blankets and carpets.
 But while the exterior of the home Is attractive, peep into the inte- rior shows the economic stress un. der which these people live. There is seldom any kind of food except coarse cornmeal The cooking uten- sils are limited to a few home made pewter pots. The furniture consists of table and few rudely ee structed benches. The beds usually are upon the floor or upon rough hewn boards
