 TO DEVELOP
 IDLE LANDS

GUATEMALA, Nov. IS (by Asso- ciated Press.) - President Herrera has undertaken to interest foreign capital in the development of some 15000 square miles. of uneXploited territory in Guatamala which still awaits the hand of the pioneer and the invader to transform it into pro- ductive fields. As the first step he has created a new department of agriculture with a minister in his cabinet and has appointed as head of this department Antonio Bouscayol.
 Both the president and the new minister have devoted the major part of their lives to agricultural development and are therefore keen- ly interested in providing encourage ment to the farmers and planters. Both realize foreign investment must be encouraged to accomplish this end and believe that such aid must be expected as a result of diff fusion of the knowledge that Qua temala has a safe and san govern ment, is fit place to live in and has much territory as yet unde- veloped.

IS SAID TO LOOK
 LIKE TEDDY

PARIS, Nov. IS (by Associated Press) - President Millerand has | amazed, some of the old residents of Paris by appearing on the streets of the city apparently without a guard. Scores of persons recognized the French president when he walked the other day from the Elysee Palace through the Champs Elysees toward the Seine and his progress was marked by a success sion of bows. Not a detective was in sight.
 This is in sharp contrast to the practice of most former presidents. Few of them ever have ventured forth alone and in most cases they have been surrounded by strong guard of detectives or police. M. Millerands democratic conduct in this respect has caused much con- ment and increased his popularity. President Millerand greatly re- sembles physically the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. He has the same broad chest, short, thick-set stature, the twinkling blue eyes lNok searchingly at one through thick lenses; the same large head, strong powerful neck the same capacity for hard work
 At Versailles, after Millerand had been officially invested with the powers of president of the French republic, the correspondent of the Associated Press was one of large group of newspaper men with whom the president shook hands.
 "How do you feel, MT. President?" the correspondent asked.
 "Splendid!" Millerand fairly shout ed. Somehow, the word sounded very much like one heard years ago: Bully"

 ALSO HAVING
 GRAFT EXPOSE

BUENOS AIRES, Nov. IS (by As sociated Press, )-Argentin has been having a graft investigation as a result of which it has been found that 5,5OO,OOO pesos have been "un- duly disbursed by former govern ment officials who directed pay ments to contractors for building the capitol here. The present gov ernment has announced it's inten- tion of bringing suits to recover the money improperly paid.
 The building, magnificent struc- facings and broad sweeps of marble steps, not unlike the capital at Washington, is jestingly called in the newspapers "El Palacio de Oro,1 Spanish for "The Palace of Gold" It was begun in 1897 and was originally to have cost 10,000,000 pesos. It is not yet entirely finished and has cost 27,O0O,000.
 Recently a committee of the na- tional accountancy department com pleted an investigation of the ex- penditure of the monies paid for construction of the building and reported that 5500,000 pesos had been "nnduly" disbursed.
 Buenos Aires newspapers told years ago of wagon loads of build ing materials that went in the front door of the structure, soon after came out the back door and then disappeared. Charges were made that marble was paid for but con- crete used for part of the construc ton, and other accusations of graft were aired. It was then that the newspapers began to call it 'The Palace of Gold"
