German marks were benefited
more than any other quotation by
prospects of remedial measures. ster-

offerings at per cent. Brokers re-
ported large sums available for 80

uN1Fy1NG AMER1cAN1zAr1oN PLANS.

Coordination of patriotic work, particularly that
of Americanization is the object of conference to
be held in Washington February % next, at the
call of number of patriotic societies, including the
American Legion, the National Security League, and
the Sons of the American Revolution.
These organizations have asked the Morning
Journal to give publicity to the conference, in
order that every organization engaged in serious
work of a patriotic or civic nature may be repre-
scented at the conference.
Scientific organization demands that movements
of such character be co-ordinated. Right here
in Albuquerque have had instance of the
vast improvement in the management of charity
affairs since they were all put into the hands of
the City Bureau of Charities, formerly the Civic
Betterment League, instead of being handled by
individuals small groups of private citizens. The
saving in useless duplication alone has been worth
while.
Any Albuquerque or New Mexico civic or pa
trotic organization that has not already been in
vted to, take part in this conference will do well
to communicate with the National Security League,

THE OMNIBUS DRUM BEAT.

The sinister tom tomtom of the burro-skin drum
of the untamed Yaquis again is heard in Sonora.
Tuesday band of these savages went on the
warpath again. Killed three Mexican cowboys and
looted ranch
The drum-beat of the Yaqus has been known
to cause a rout among an entire company of Car
rancista soldiers. The reputation of the "broncos
of the red hatband is known all over Mexico
During the early months of the Sonora revolu-
ton last year. which later became nation wide the
Yaquis gave promise of settling down into law
abiding citizens 1t believed that the person
atty of General Plutarco Elias Gales, then secre
tary of war of the provisional government, and
now head of General Obregons cabinet, would of
itself keep these untamed in check. The pres
ent writer observed the Yaquis during his trip into
Mexico with General Gales At that time they gave
signs of being FESTIVE.
But at best the Yaquis are an unknown guam
tiy. 1t is difficult to follow the cerebraton that
takes place under those red hat-bands of theirs.
Let us hope that the present tom-tom-tom of
t'los tambores de los Yaquis' is not the rumblng
of another internal storm in poor, sorely-beset
Mexico.
