There were wrinkles around her

There had been a time when her

State Department Insists Mexi-
co Recognize Rights of
American interests.

The State Department has sent an
emphatic note to Mexico protesting
against encroachment upon the rights
of American oil producers. it was
learned today.
Mexicans are alleged to have taken
advantage Of a announcement system
put in effect in Mexico when claims
are contested, to take American oil
claims and reap profits from them, it
was learned, and it is this practice
which the State Department has pro-
tested against.
The note was dated January IL. and
protested against the granting of de-
titles to Mexicans during
the last days Of the de la Huerta ad-
Under the Mexican laws all subsoil
property belongs to the Mexican gov
eminent and Americans holding oil
properties have been called upon 70
denounce their rights in subsoil prop
erty. Americans who have purchased
their claims have refused, to do this
and announcement titles have then
been given to Mexicans.
About $50 claims held by Americans
have been made subject to claims of
Mexicans under the announcement
system.

NEW YORK. Jan. 25.-Followins

Hotel Pennsylvsnis by Eugene q.
Grace. president OF the Bethlehem
shipbuildins Corporation. Chairman
Joseph Walsh. OF the committee.
asked for all the papers aud records
ness relations with the United States
shipping Board and the Emergency
Fleet Corporation.
Chairman Walsh said that the com
mittee wanted to clean up definitely
the status OF the voucher for $3.50
543.53. declared TO have been for the
personal expenses OF Charles NJ.
Schwab for the month of October,
1918, when he was head OF the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation.
The sum OF 100000, OF this amount.
Ii had been testified by two previous
witnesses, was charged on by the
Bethlehem Corporation TO ship con-
struction for the Emergency Fleet
Corporation. ..r.
Mr.. schwab, Mr.. Grace, and Paul ID.
Cravath, general counsel for the Beth
lehem Steel Corporation, were pres
ent when the session opened and Mr..
Grace was the first witness called.
Grace said that at no time had II
poration to charge the item of $780,
900 to the Emergency Fleet Corpora
ton, and that the whole voucher
amount was purely company busi-
ness matter. He said it's final dis
position, as shown by the books, was
at the disposal of the comptrollers.
He reiterated that. as a matter of
fact, the amount had been charged
of on the profit and loss account.
Mr.. Grace submitted a Photographic
copy of the voucher, which proved.
according to this copy, to have writ
ten across it's face, "for special ex-
penses," and not. as had been. pre-
viously testified, for the personal ex-
penses of Mr.. Schwab.
Mr.. Grace denied that there had
been on the books of the corporation
1898, 900 of misplaced accounts as had
been testified by Perley Morse. Mr..
Morse is head of the auditing firm
which was working on the books of
the corporation until the audit was

the insurgents against King "Bomba"
In Naples. Also the various plots
and conspiracies OF the Risorgimento
against Austrian rule In Lombardy
and Tuscany were largely directed and
financed from London.
CONCESSIONS TOO LATE.
The Austrian and Neapolitan des-
pots. like Lloyd George, offered to
grant everything short OF independ-
ence, but these concessions came too
late and amidst the jubliation OF the
English junkers these principalities
achieved their complete liberty. Eng
lands policy, however, In the past,
was not Influenced by any love OF lib
erty or soiicitude for the oppressed.
Whenever IL served her imperialistic
aims, her money and her agents
started the flame of revolution In any
land which at the moment was In
imical to her interests. What has
been sauce for the goose should GER
tainly be sauce for the gander. and an
application of some OF the medicine

scribed for other nations might re-

cessant struggle for liberty, to ne IN
this new era the only white race I'M
der the sun held in bondage? Is the
principle OF self-determination to
which Lloyd George pledged the
honor Of England to be denied the
Irish because 1t suits the interests Of
English capitalists and imperialists?
1t is certainly time that Lloyd George
and his junker encourage profit by
the lesson of history which 1 have
recorded, or a catastrophe will soon
shake the foundations of the British
empire. 800

CHICAGO ROADS CUT
10000 FROM ROLLS
10000 More Are to Go Within
Next Thirty Days, Rail
Heads Say.

CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-Railway execu-
tives on lines centering in Chicago
are today devising means whereby
10000 employees may be trimmed from
the railroads payrolls within the next
thirty days. More than 10000 men
already have been laid off, 1t was
learned today, and the reductions in
working forces are nos yet at an end.
Western railroads have not yet
adopted the plan of the Pennsylvania
system, which recently made a 20 per
cent reduction in operating forces.
and a so per cent cut in office forces.
Railroads here are simply reducing
their forces where reductions are pos
sible without adopting any specified
plan for a definite reduction.
Estimates available today show
that the Chicago, Burlington end
Quincy road has dropped from 1000
to 5000 men from its rolls; Chicago
Milwaukee and st. Paul 5000 to 5000,
Chicago and Northwestern. 5000 tc
1000; Illinois Central, $500. and tho
Chicago and Alton, between 400 and
500.
Reasons announced for the reduce
ton by the railroads are:
Loss in revenue that has-~reduced
the income of the roads to the level
prevailing before rate increases were
granted.
Falling off in business that has
made the services OF many employees
unnecessary.
A disposition to dispense with
superfluous employees attached to the
payroll during the period OF Govern
ment control.
