REv0L uTIONARY LEADERS
 FAST BEING EXECUTED
By Ausoei.ted Pr.ss,

Mexico City. April 2. Firing squads at dawn within the past few weeks have carried out deadly work among revolu- tionary leaders who had been active ir various parts of the republic. The latest victim of President obregon's iron handed rule was Julio Fernandez Perez. general of prigaGe in the state of Chiapas, who recently took up arms against the government but was cap tured by federal troops.
 Within the past fortnight at least a half-dozen rebel leaders have been put to death after hastily called court -'ra~- tials had found them guilty of conspi- 'racy. So.-far as is ascertainabl ble her, none of the insurrectionary leaders had acquired substantial funds.
 Nevertheless it seems apparent that President Obregon has decided to r'et- out stern punishment upon persons found guilty of conspiracy.
 Coupled with the activity against incip- ,ient retetl;on is a vigorous campaign or dcred by the government against radical agitators.

PERSH|NG WARNS 0F
 EFFORT ID WEAKEN FRIENDSHIP BONDS
Protests Debasement of Ameri- can Citizenship to Promote Interference in Affairs of
 Friendly People
Rx Associated Press

Philadelphia April "A warming that foreign influences, danger ous in. their tendencies, are again at work "to weaken the close ties of friendship that bind us to those peo- pies beside whom we fought in the great war" was sounded here tonight by General John J. Pershing, who addressed two mass meetings in the concluding exercises of All-American day
 Praising the patriotism of foreign born citizens whom he said he had seen fighting under the American flag lin the Phillipines, in Mexico and in France. General Pershing said that often times their enthusiasm for America has surpassed that of many native born "who have not always lived up to the obligations of their birth"
 Many of us often consider too lightly our obligations toward those who come to cast their lot with us.' he said. Many native Americans into whom the inheritance of liberty has
 
 often indifferent to the enlightenment of those whom we have invited to our shores. We must make our democ- racy self-protecting and not leave the right of suffrage adrift in the lands of the illiterate and the ignorant
 Pointing out that Americans have no quarrel with those of foreign birth or stock who cling to the art, the music the folk lore or better traditions of the land of their birth, but want them to look to America as an inspiration General Pershing reviewed the causes which led to the United States enter ing the war-the onslaught of arro- gant militarism supported by cer- tain disloyal element here at home and continued
 Nearly three years have passed ane we again hear the hurmur of dis loyalty. It is time to ask ourselves whether our patriotism is to stand mute while this poisonous propaganda dwarfs our condolences. Shall we turr our backs on our friends of, yester- day? Are We expected to condone tho wanton destruction in France and Bel gium and on the high seas? Have the sacrifices of American blood alread, been forgotten?
 Again we demand one quality ir American citizenship and that is loy alty without stint and without reser lvation. Let us make it entirely cleal l that we have no place for so-calIet lcitizens of German birth or lineag, Tor of any other origin who. false t, their vows, seek to prejudice Amer ican action for the benefit of an aliel l government, or who would determin, an American question for foreigl Treason
 We earnestly protest against tn Idebasement of our American citizen snip to promote political or warlik interferences with the affairs of friendly people"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-04-08

to mark a third chapter, at least, III the diplomatic exchanges with the allied governments on the subject of mandates in general and the Pacific island of Yap in particular. The American viewpoint was first stated by Secretary Colby in notes to the four great powers on last November and subsequently was sup plemented in note to the council Of the League of Nations.
 The notes of November never have been made public. nor has it been dis- closed whether the allied government US replied to them. The note sent to the league council was referred by it to those governments, the council explaining that this was a proper course since it deai' specifically with the Japanese mandate to the island of Tap, which, 1t was claimed, was voted by the supreme coun- ell. or the council of four, at Paris OH May I. 1918, while the peace treaty was being framed
 Japan, however, has replied to at least one of the American governments pro tests. It was received two days before the Harding administration came mt office. and in 1t Japan insisted upon us right to a mandate over the island ps reason of the award of the supreme council There also have been reports that Japan made the further point tna' it's forces had captured this and othei Pacific islands from the Germans carry in the war.
 Immediate replies from the four powers to Mir Hughes communications are no' to be expected. The issue raised con cerns each of those governments, and replies probably will be forthcomins only after exchanges between them.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-04-08

There is reason to pelleNe tnat eAS correspondence on this subject. which was initiated last November, will not be closed with the receipt of the replies from the Japanese, British, French and Italian foreign offices. If the expecta- tiors of American officials are realized, the details regarding American rights will have to be worked out in negotia- tion In the event, however, that the four powers do not find their way to an agreement with the American viewpoint. there would arise situation, action on which officials refused today to forecast.
 SHANTUNG NOT ISSUE '
 The Shantung settlement in the peace treaty which has been sharply criticised in this country, is not at issue in the present controversy It is learned that the phrase overseas possessions in the American communications was used ad- visedly, and it is pointed out that shan tung was not German possession. kiao- Chau, part of that Chinese proviace. was held by Germany through a con cession from the Chinese government.
 The view of the Harding adminstra- ton with respect to the Shantung set clement has not been stated, but this settlement was vigorously opposed by the new administration leaders in the Senate, while the treaty of Versailles was under consideration by that body and was made the subject of one of the republican res ervations to the treaty which were adopted

IN THE NAME OF RELIGION!
Weird and Savage Rites INDUCED In
by the khIysts, Sect OF
Russian Fanatics.

One of the queer religious sects OF
the world is the Christs or Khlysts OF
Russia. They hold their meetings In
their churches with hundreds Of men,
women and children attending. After
prayers and hymns that last until
midnight they begin a wild dance amid
sobs and grOans. After this con-
tinues for while they abandon their
garments and put on white robes and
white stockings. Candles are lighted,
and a new dance begins that consists
of rapidly revolving, the men to the
right, the women to the left.
In a short time sort of madness
falls upon them. They leap, scream.
beat themselves and each other, in
dulge in wild laughter and cries. and
then begin to tear off the garments
with shouts of 1T Is coming, the Holy
Spirit is coming!" They begin to go
about on all tours. riding on one an
others backs. rolling about on the
floor. biting and scratching one an
other, and at last 90 entirely insane
and dash about until they fall ex-
hausted. BY dawn the church floor
is covered with naked men, women
and children, unconscious and blood
Stained.

Weather's Effect on Birds.

Cold and hunger in England has
driven armies of birds, even the Wild
est, into streets and gardens and un-
wonted places. Great flocks Of green
plover, which are singularly shy as
rule, appeared in the stackyards and
paddOcks Of Hertfordshlre villages. In
Buckinghamshire several thousand
rocks in a flock was no rarity; and
old scouts came right up to the back
doors aud competed for their food
with the poultry and the pigs. In Lon
don it was curious to see the pigeons
feeding busily on the ice, to the obvi-
pus irritation of the gulls, whose bills
are useless for securing fragments
from n hard surface. 1t was hard to
be defeated by land bird In their
town element. Starlings showed even
greater ability in picking up morsels
from the foes and even the water or
the river, feat very foreign to their
nature.

Of the Congo Are Inferred With

The Barua tribe In the Congo DIS
trict Of Africa have a number Of
strange and horrible customs, but Of
them all their burial customs are the
most terrible. When a man dies a
large grave Is, dug. The corpse and
his wives-these may be anywhere
from two to twenty--are escorted to
the hole with wild music and the in
Eterested attendance Of the entire tribe.
The chief wife is thrust into the hole.
and the corpse is then lowered. The
second wife follows. The dead mans
relatives then proceed to break the
arms and legs Of the two wives so
tney cannot get out Of the hole. The
head Of the corpse is placed In the lap
Of the head wife. and the feet in the
lap OF the second wife. 4Ez@@
The rest of the wives are then thrust
into the hole. their limbs broken. and
they are forced to sit In a circle about
the corpse and IT'D human supporters.
The priest chants few words, and
everyone falls to with rude shOvels.
dishing earth into the hole. They new
er stop until the grave is full and the
corpse and the living wives buried far
under the earth. The howls of the
wives with their broken limbs and fear
Of the terrible death are drowned by
the banging Of drums and the yells OF
the delighted tribe.
