MEXICAN SITUATION
IS BECOMING SERIOUS
ADMIRAL r. e. CooNTZ CALLED
TO CONFER WITH AIDS OF
STATE DEPARTMENT.
Secret Meeting Held BY Nationa! Off
ciaIs-Fear Is Expressed For Lives
of Americans in Case Rebels Launch
Attack on Seaports.

Washington.-A movement against
Mexico City and the Tampico Oil fields
soon will be made by revolutionary
troops, according to a statement is
sued from headquarters here of the
Oregon revolutionary forces. The
attack upon Mexico will be made by
troops from Guerrero, in Michoacan
and Jalisco, it is said. The threat of
the attack upon TampicO has reached
official departments also and was the
cause of a secret conference between
officials of the Navy and State Depart
ments. Admiral r. e. Coontz, aide for
operations of the Navy Department,
attended the conference with men,
bers of his staff. 1t was stated the
conference was made necessary by
fresh reports of an alarming nature
which have COM, from Mexico. Re
ports to the Navy Department are that
Tampico, as we'll as Mazatlan, Vera
Cruz and Mexico City, are in danger
of attack.
Officials who participated in the con-
ference discussed with Admiral COOntz
plans for protecting American citizens
at the ports which are understood to
be treatened. One official at the con-
ference is said to have expressed the
opinion that the dispatch of more ma
val vessels to the east and west coast
of Mexico may be necessary. At this
time the only American vessels on
guard are the Salem and destroyer
McCauley on the west coast, and the
gunboat Sacramento near Tampico'
Reports continue to be received that
President Carranza may attempt to
| leave Mexico by the best route he can
find from the capital, probably by way
of Vera Cruz.
1t is believed here that if Carranza
should present himself in Vera Cruz
it might be the signal for an outburst
which would endanger the lives OF
Americans at that port. All official
and press reports for the last 4S hours
bristle with news of OBJECTIONS from
the Carranza cause. Gen. Villareal has
announced at the border that Carran
za's own generals are deserving him
and suggesting to him that he resign
before the revolution proceeds further

MARSHALL HITS
At HYPOCRISY
THE CHURCH MUST PROVE ITS
WORK BY ITS FAITH,
HE SAYS.
sJseIess to Forbid Larceny If Deaeons
Make Large Contributions Out OF
Excess Profits Wrung Jointly From
Labor and Consumer" He Says.

Washington.-Vice President Mar
shall, speaking with Sir Auckland
Geddes. the British Ambassador, at an
Interchurch World Movement mass
meeting, said the church must prove
its work by its faith, and that Il
sis idle to legislate for purity If the
priest, above his book, is to leer al his

the elders are to continue working lit
tie children to death. 1t is useless to
forbid larceny if the deacons mako
large church contributions out of eX-
cess profits wrung jointly from labor
and the ultimate consumer"
Sir Auckland expressed the belief
that the church had not kept pace with
the industrial revolution of the last
century, and that religion on which
civilization is based had been forgot
ten in the great crisis,
"The material of the city today the
Ambassador said, (which is dragging
democracy down and making it posi-
BILE for Il determined minority, through
blackmail and corruption, to compel
people to agree to vote for things they
do not want. That way lie destruction

Vice President Marshall told the au-
dience that the church, with com
PLEASANT smile, had turned over TO the
state the enforcement of the moral law,
and that the state had failed, while
the man on the street sneered
Awake, o Zion, and if you really
believe in the communion of the saints
prove it by consistent conduct" Mr..
Marshall said. "This is no 'hOlier
than thou message. l myself am a
sinner.
"The man on the street is not tired
of the words Of the Nazarene. When
the church takes back the disciplining
of the moral and religious life of its
members, when it trains up it's children
with fixed views, when it proves its
faith in the communion of the saints
by its works, it's courts will be
thronged with wOrshipers, and there
will he no need for patchwork legsla,
ton to reconcile labor and capital, ma
ton and nation.
"This, oh God, make the supreme
desire and the one motive of all those
engaged in this great movement. If il
be not, then our money might as well
be spent upon Roman holiday"

 Bugler Arnold Lee started the day off at 5 a. m. with a grim determination to get everyone out of the hay for the day. How we'll he suc- ceeded was evidenced by the large number of people on the streetsat unholy hour, all with the spirit of the day upon them.

are interested Tn the develop
 ment of the Holbrook Oi Field, that e beginning oi the end is in sight; the end, in this instance, being the completion of a producing oil well in this structure. Never, since the inception ot activity in this field has the situation looked so bright. In the early stages of the game the wonderful endorse ment of the field was such as to create 8 widespread in- terest and was sufficient to induce the spudding of six wells in this area. Obstacles sof every nature incident to a pioneer field were eneount- cred and in addition the un- settled condition of the finan- cial world due to the great war and the hysterical boom created by the bringing in of the Ranger field were handi- caps to the stock companies who were endeavoring to prove the field.
 Weathering all this, and after cessation of work at the various wells, for one reason or another, we now find the work progressing in earnest with no thought or prospect of another Hull in development. As a criterion of the interest created in re- Sponslble circles It may be cited that the
 AZTEC PETROLEUM SECURITIES co. has completed negotiations with responsible and capable interests to drill a portion of the immense deeded acreage held by this company. Just where the first we'll will be spotted we are not advised, but it can be authoratively dated that work on the new, development will be started in the comparatively near future and that ample finan- ces are available for the com pletion of a large program of development.

Casing has been ordered, but owing to the congested freight con- ditions in all parts of the country and the difficulty in securing the casing itself, it has been necessary to slow up a little from the aggres- sive drilling campaign pre- viOusly mapped out until the casing arrives. Water is ex- pected any time now from indications and the necessity of casing can be readily ap- preciated. New buildings are being erected at the camp and the company has spotted the location of a second well. Having with drawn its stock from the market recently this com
