Democratic" is a Carranza government
organ, published in Mexico City, and
former pro-German organ Of Won Eek
hardt in Mexico. In glaring headlines
on the first page the periodical an
nounces that Mexico has taken steps to
revoke all foreign ownership of lands
and properties within 100 kilometres
of MeXico's frontiers and fifty kilo-
metres of the sea, as provided in Ar
tic1e NXVII of the Queretaro constitu-
ton Of 1917.
The article adds:
The government, faithful to its
principles and ideals of its revolution
ary movement, has taken steps to re-
conquer all of the extension OF our ter
rltory that, due to anti-constitutional
concessions granted by previous gov
ernments, passed to the possession of
foreign companies, especially Ameri-
can and English
Action by Congress Awaited
Carranza only awaits authorization
from the Mexican Congress, the an
nouncement states, to eXpend so 900, 900
pesos (S25, ,000,000) with which to pay
foreigners for their claims before be-
ginning action to recover lands owned
by foreign companies in the states of
Lower California, Chiapas and other
frontier states. Then he will take ac-
tive steps to recover for the nation all
the petroleum lands that numerous
companies are working within the pro-
hibited zone, contrary to the restric-
tions imposed by our constitution"
Persons here familiar with the ter
ritories described declare this move is
akin to contiscation, and that S25,000,-
600, even if paid foreigners for their
holdings, would not begin to compen-
safe them for their property. They say
that even should other nations allow
the Carranza government to hguratively
"kick' foreigners out of Mexico and
take their property, $4,000, 900 would
not purchase foreign owned oil lands in
the states of Vera Cruz and Tamauli-
pas alone or oil properties in these
states which lie within the constitu-
tionally prohibited area skirting the
sea. They point out that mine and
ranch properties held by foreigners in
the area 100 kilometres inland from
the American border will alone ap-
praise far in excess of the figure set
down by Carranza

was with US, advised us to be calm,
saying he would do all he could to
protect us. Arriving eventually at

The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-06-13

The Brunswick idea is to give all that is possible, all that anyone can give all that any factory cost can buy.
 The result is a tire that is winning friends the nation. over. In The Brunswick mo- torists expect the utmost and get it. Never has tire had greater appeal to the man who appreciates real merit.
 Try one Brunswick. See if you agree with others that here is more for your rnonex- One Brunswick, we are cer- tain, will convince you that you'll never be satisfied until you have all Brunswicks.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-06-13

In Brunswick Tires, for in- stance, we have included that familiar formula, long in use, which makes the best tire tread that's known.
 ks And there's a certain type of fabric which, by test, is strong CT than all others. Naturally it is in The Brunswick. } To attain the utmost in tire mileage there are certain rein forcements - certain extras. We have adopted all.
 To combat the commonest tire troubles, we have adopted the ap- proved side-wall construction, long tested.
 In other words, The Brunswick brings you combination of su- premacies, such as were never pos eible before.

BRINK HAVEN WANTS
LARGER TAKING AREA

Brink Haven school officials are
making an attempt to secure a larger
taxing area for their schools so that
they can get enough money for run
ming first grade high school in their
town.
Recently they sent out to the au-
thorities of Jefferson and Union town
ships requests for the transfer of
some property of these individual
townships to the Brink Haven dis
trict. Although no action has yet
been taken by either one of these dis.
tricts, it is reported that they will
act favorably. Several of the schools
in these townships have been closed
because the pupils were attending
schools in either Brink Haven OF
Danville, and it is not more than rea
sonable that the schools having the
care of the pupils should have the
money produced by the school taxes
Brink Haven is anxious to have 6
first grade high school and in addi
tion 1t feels that it needs the increase
in order that they may secure better
equipment for their work and for thu
increasing OF the teachers salaries.

not forgetting the memorable meet

man T. Eagleson, of Columbus, which
purported only to be a reminder OF
the fact that immediate action on the
part of investigating committee and
on the part of the city council of Mt
ernon would be highly appreciated
by the Ohio Fuel Supply Co.
Mr.. Eagleson pointed out that the
statement he made regarding the
other cities on the lines of his com
