Another thing demanding the atten-

situation in Tamplco where it is feared
labor disorders may endanger Ameri-

sells have been sent there, but this

demonstration The trouble in Tam
pico is result of the recent decree
of the Mexican government increasing
the export tax on oil. The industry
being checked, thousands of men were
thrown out of employment, and their
attitude was threatening. President

intention Of resembling the decree, and

To complicate the situation In the
Near East, it has become certain that
Bulgaria is cooperating with Renal
in the hope of regaining eastern
Thrace. So far she has taken no
overt steps, and IL she does, the ''lit-
tie entente" comprising Jugo-Slavla.
Czecho-Slovakia and Roumania, will
get into action, for the real ralson
d'etre of that alliance is their deter
mination to keep Bulgaria within the
limits now fixed for her. Moreover it
is asserted that the "little entente"
now has the complete backing Of
Italy.

termined to preventive seizure of

Bolshevists evidently are planning
some big coup. They are calling to
the colors all men from eighteen to
thirty-ive years Of age, and general
mobilization is expected soon. The
rehabilitation order issued some time
ago has been Cancelled. More inter-
esting than reliable is the story that
Trotzky has been imprisoned on or

disagreement between the Bolshevlst
chiefs have been heard too often.

CHARITY GAME AT DALLAS

The annual charity" game at
Dallas, played this spring by
Cleveland Indiahs and New

an overflow crowd of 10000 to
the Dallas ball park. The re-

amounted to around $4,000.
The game was worth the money.

Germany, still apprehensive that she
is to lose out in Upper Sllesla, Is cry
ing wolf again. The country is
warned of an impending coup d'etat-
and the allies are permitted to over
hear the warning. The story, as it
comes from Berlin, Is that all the re-
dictionary elements are prepared to
march on Berlin and upset the gov
eminent, and that the decision
against German possession Of Upper
Silesia Is to be the signal for move
ment. The German irregular forces
were withdrawn from the disputed ter
rtory, in accordance with the agree
ment with the inter-allied commission,
but they have not dlsbanded or dis
armed, nor have they moved far from
the Silesian border. These troops are
commanded by monarchists. and it is
reported that General Won der G0ltz,
who led the Baltic expedition and also
was mixed up in the Kapp revolution.
Is now in Upper Sllesia. A few days
ago the German population Of Beu-
then, in Upper SiIesia, was making a
hostile demonstration against the
Poles and when the French troops
tried to dispense the marchers, the
latter fred on them, killing a French
major. The troops retired to their
garrison and opened fire with machine
guns and number Of Germans were
killed. SO far the peaceful" ar
rangement made by the inter-allIed
commission has not been a consplcu-
Gus success.
The present German government
really seems to be increasing In
strength, and the confidence reposed
In 1t by the allied governments is
growing daily. That is, the conf
dence that 1t will carry out the terms
Of the treaty as far as possible In
a public address last week, Doctor
Rathenau, minister of reconstruction,
said:
THE United States Is the worlds
chief creditor and Germany is the
worlds chief debtor, with all other ma
tons sandwiched in between these
two as creditor and debtor nations,
each tied to or obligated to one an
other.
Germany is not land of gold or
raw materials, but nation which
lives, and will continue to live, by the
work of her hands. We are, there
fore, only able to pay our debts with
our products, our mental and manual
labor. This we honestly propose to
