Sent to Tampico to Guard
American Interests.

Washington, July 6.-Two United
States gunboats, the Sacramento and
the Cleveland, have been ordered to
Tampico as precautionary measure
in the event disorders develop.
Upon the strength of information
furnished us by the State department
regarding conditions resulting from
the suspension of shipments of oil
and the consequent unemployment, the
Navy department has sent two gun
boats there to be ready for possible
disturbances requiring their atten-
tiOn,' said Secretary of the Navy

precautionary measure"
The gunboat Sacramento reached

German Kills Major in SiIesia When
Poles Withdraw-British Troops
Kill Several.

Paris. July 6.-The killing of Major
Montalieres of the French army dur
ing a hostile demonstration by the
German population Of Beuthen, Upper
Silesia, reported in foreign office dis
patches has created most painful
impression in French official circles,
it was indicated in these circles. The
reported killing occurred after the
Poles had withdrawn from the town
under the evacuation agreement. The
officer was in command of a small
French detachment that had remained
in Beuthen throughout the Upper 81
lesian troubles, it was explained. The
British troops that were assigned to
occupy the town had not yet arrived
and the manifestants prOfited by the
fact, the dispatches to the foreign
office state. The major was shot from
behind by some one in the crowd, the
reports declare. When the British
troops arrived, the foreign Office adj
vices add, they were obliged to fire
in order to disperse the crowd, and
some of the demonstrators were killed
and others were wounded.

UNITED STATES GIVEN
CREDIT BY MARSHAL F0CH
Commander of Allied Armies During
Worlds War Sends Greetings
to America.

Paris, July 5.-Marshal Ferdinand
Foch of France, commander i'll chief
of the allied armies, sent message to
the American nation on the ann1ver-
sary of the Declaration of lndepend-
ence.
Marshal Foch's message reads, in
part:
SIN celebrating Americas Independ-
ence day in union with the United
States, France does not only commem-
crate the heroic days when Lafayette,
with the best of her sons, brought help
to the noble cause of the liberty and
independence of the United States, Dut
she commentaries also the days
more recent and not less heroic, when
the American nation stood up fully
bent upon the defense of another great
and noble cause.-the liberty of the
world, which was in danger.
France, in fact, can never forget
what America did to help in the great
and complete triumph of right over
brutal strength.
''What was the American share in
the strife Cor V. cory? Two sets of
figures will give its measure. In April,
1917, vher the United States declared
war upon Germany, the American
army had $500 officers and $4,000
men. Eighteen months later, at the
time of the armistice, she had more
than 10000 officers and 100000 men.
"a prodigious effort of an entire ma
ton before which the enemy remained
astounded and which foiled all his
plans.
Germany intended to settle the
fate of the entente before the Amer
leans were able to come into line. Act
ing strongly and quickly, America
ruined the plans of our adversary.
She acted strongly and quickly. in
deed"

PLANS GREAT FARLEY
HARDING APPROACHES POWERS
ON DISARMAMENT.
"Feelersv Have Been Sent to Great
Britain, France, Italy and Japan
by President.

Washington, July 11.-Overtures
have been made by President Harding
to the principal allied and associated
powers looking toward an agreement
for a reduction and limitation OF
ornaments, it was officially announced
by the State department.
The announcement was contained
in statement issued by the depart
ment ''by the direction of the Presi-
dent" 1t declared that while the
initial advances have been informal,
they have been definite" They have
been addressed, it discloses, to Great
Britain, France, Italy and Japan.
Accompanying the overtures, the
statement declared, has been the sug-
gestion of the President that the Pa
cific and Far Eastern problems, to
which the disarmament question is
closely related, be taken up at the
same time, with view to reaching
q common understanding with respect
to principles and policies"
The President would have China
participate in the conference when
these problems come up for discussion
and adjustment.
The Presidents approaches, the
State department announcement dis
closed, have taken the form of in
quiries sent to the four allied and as
ISOLATED powers asking whether 1T
would be agreeable to them to par
ticipate in a conference on this sub
ject to be held in Washington at a
time to be mutually agreed upon.
"If the proposal is found to be ac-
ceptable," the statement declared,
formal invitations for such confer
ence will be issued"
Upon the issuance of this announce
ment reports gained credence that the
President intends to use the proposed
conference to lay the foundation of
his plan for an association of nations.

Gales Flags American Oil
Producers for Trouble.

Mexico City, July additional
federal troops have been dispatched
to the region of Tampico by the Mexi-
can government for the announced
purpose of giving guarantees to ma
tionals and foreigners"
This action was taken, although the
forces regularly maintained around
Tampico, where there is serious
situation arising because Of unemploy-
ment, are deemed sufficient to deal
with any emergency, said a statement
issued by Fernando Torreblanca, pri-
vate secretary to President Obregon.
No Menace to Peace, Gales.
Official reassurances were given in
statements to the newspapers that the
Tampico situation does not contain
elements of danger to peaceful returns
between the United States and Mex
leo.
'"There is no need to give further
thought to the subject" Secretary
Gales, the chief of cabinet, said. "The
vessels (the United States warships
at Tampico) belong to a friendly ma
ton that merely seeks to protect its
nationals, and this is no reflection on
our national integrity"
Promises Oil Expose.
Secretary Gales has told Mexican
newspaper men that his government
is preparing to unmask American oil
producers" whom he charged with
"scandalous actions, not only against
the Mexican treasury, but against the
United States as WELL" This state
ment is published in three Mexico
City newspapers and there is much
speculation as to the meaning of the
secretary'S statement.
Although the wording of the decla-
ration of Senior Gales varies il the
newspapers, each printed interview
attributed to the secretary the same
sentiments. He is said to have re-
ferred to alleged attempts by Ameri-
can oil companies to dodge income
taxes by dissolving the parent COR
poration and forming numerous sub
salaries.
Unconfirmed reports state that. dis
gruntled workmen in a petroleum
camp in Zacamixtla, state of Vera
Cruz, attacked the properties there,
being repuised only when federal
troops arrived and fred into the air.
Zacamixtla largely is American
owned.
Newspaper dispatches regarding the
occurrence vary, some asserting there
were several deaths among the work
men and others denying there were
any casualties.
U. S. Gunboats Withdrawn.
Washington, July 9.-The American
gunboats Sacramento and Cleveland,
which were ordered to Tampico last
Tuesday by Secretary of the Navy
DENLY as a precautionary measure,
were ordered withdrawn. First news
of the retirement came from the
State department, which was followed
by the official Navy department or
der.
'We find that the situation at Tam
pico is not SO bad" was the State de-
partment announcement. Operations
are continuing in the oil fields, though
exporting is not. The unemployment
situation is not serious and the Amer
lean gunboats will soon be on their
Way"
