was purely military. ObregOn him
selr knew that the people were over

president and he tried to win this
support by putting aside his military
rank.
''The present regime In Mexico Is

GERMANY ORDERED
TOANSWER At ONCE
oTEPo WILL ~ TAKEN ~ THE
ALLIES TO ENFORCE PLAN
FOR DleARMAMENT.
u German Army 10 Not Reduced to
10000 BY October I, the Allies
Will Proceed to Occupy
German Territory.

Spa. Belgium.-The Joint allied
German conference on the terms Of
the peace treaty has reached another
critical point. The Germans have
been told that they must decide at
once whether they will accept the
FrancO-B British plan Of disarmament
The alternative IL contained In the
specific threat that the allies will oc.
cupy the Ruhr or other territories II
Germany can not or does not accept
The final decision Of the allies sets
forth that Germany must:
First-Immediately disarm certain
Of Its forces, including the security
police.
Second - Publish proclamation,
asking for the immediate surrender
Of all weapons and firearms in the
hands Of the civilian population.
Third--Abolish Immediately COM
pulsory service.
Fourth-Surrender to the allies all
arms, guns and cannon above the
limit fixed by the treaty Of Versailles.
The allied decision concerning dis
armament reads: IF, on October /,
the German army Is not reduced to
10000. the allies will proceed to oc-
cupy German territory in the Ruhr
or any other part of German terri
tory, and will not evacuate 1t until all
the conditions Of the present agree
ment have been fulfilled"
The prevailing view among the
Germans seems to be that the allies
have carried their demands, partic-
ularly the menace Of occupying further
German territory, much beyond any
provision Of the Versailles treaty, and
also, that the allies are taking up
an aggressive position not contemplate
ed by any clause Of the treaty.
The allied disarmament note was
communicated to Berlin on Thursday
at Chancellor Fehrenbach's request,
with the direction that 1t be submit
ted to the reichstag and to the leaders
Of Ill the parties, whether supporters
Of the government or the opposition.
Herr Fehrenbach asked for the view
Of the reichstag and the party leaders,
but said that the decision would rest
with the cabinet now at Spa.

FOES OF SUFFRAGE
HAVE BEGUN FIGHT
PROCEEDINGS TO ENJOlN THE
ISSUANCE OF PROCLAMATION
INSTITUTED At CAPITAL.
Claim 10 Made That Ratification Of
Amendment by West Virginia Leg
!slature Was illegal, Because Ac-
compIished by Fraud.

Washington. Proceedings asking
that cambridge Colby, secretary Of
state, be enjOined from issuing any
proclamation declaring the suffrage
amendment ratified were instituted in
..e District of Columbia supreme
court on July Z by Charles S. Fair.
child Of New York, president Of the
American Constitutional league.
Mr.. Fairchild also seeks to prevent
Attorney General Palmer from en-.
forcing the amendment. Justice
Bailey issued a ruling on Secretary
Colby and the attorney general to
show cause July 10 why the motion
should not be granted.
The basis Of the proceedings is the
claim that the ratification of the
amendment by the West Virginia legis-
lature was illegal, because accomp-
lished by fraud. and that the pro-
posed ratification by the Tennessee
legislature also would be illegal, on
the ground that the legislature lacked
authority under the states constitu-
ton to act on the measure.
Only thirty-five states have ratified
the amendment, and, as ratification by
one other is necessary, the attack on
the amendment through the courts at
this time came as surprise in suf-
frage circles here. An attack on the
legality Of the action of the Tennessee
legislature had been expected, but not
until the legislature had acted.
