OBRECON STARTS
DRIVE ON REBELS
Mexican Troops Massed to
Crush Revolution in
COahuila.

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, March 2s.-
The obregon government today
opened war on Mexican revolution
lists in the State of Coahuila.
Federal troops concentrated from
fve states poured into Coahuila in
the largest troop movement under
taken by the Mexican government
in years. The offensive is aimed at
a revolt launched by Gen. Francisco
Murguia. Scattered reports Of the
mobilization and offensive were con-
frmed this afternoon by official an
nouncement of Mexican Consul
Montemayor at Del Rio.
Federal troops were massed In
the states of Neuvo Leon. Chihus-
hua, Durango and Zacatecas. and
then were ordered into Coahuila,
while Obregonists in the besieged
states raised an army of their own
to aid the incoming federalists.
Among the revolutionary leaders
are Gen. Candido Aguilar, son-in-
law of the late President Carranza,
and Luis Blanco, wanted by Amer
lean authorities. They have $500
well-trained troops at their COM
mand, with headquarters in the
Burro Mountains.
Montemayor also declared that
Gen. Plutarco Gales would be nam
ed secretary of war within a few
days. This report denies previous
rumors of a break between Gales
and Obregon.

State Monopoly Meant
Higher Coffee Prices

ROME. March 26.-Italy's govern
ment monopoly of coffee. one of the
extreme measures adopted during
the war for increasing state reve-
nues, will in all probability soon be
abolished.
At the urgent request Of the Ma.
tional Association Of Italian Cham
bers OF Commerce. the ministers OF
finances and of commerce have
taken up a project restoring free
dom of commerce in coffee.
In order that the state revenues
may not be diminished by the
change the project provides for a
regular import tax on coffee, but the
state will be relieved of the present
difficult and artificial task Of trying
to control the coffee commerce and
market.
The monopoly on coffee. which is
similar to the state monopolies ex-
isting in Italy for years on tobacco.
salt and quinine, was put into effect
at the same time as was the mo-
nopoly on electric light bulbs. Since
the Inauguration of the state con-
troll Of coffee in Italy the price of
the latter had increased from be-
tween four and five times.

SO far the senate has been kept COM

eign relations committee keep an ever
watchful eye on the administration S
moves in international diplomacy, their
ignorance concerning the treaty max
ing now in progress is paralleled Only
by what they claim was their inability

Inquirers at the state department
concerning relations with Germany
elicit no information beyond the bare
admission that Ellis Loring Dresel, the
American commissioner at Berlin, is
engaged in deliberations with the au-
thorities in Berlin.
Most of the irreconcilables, although
they would be better pleased if they
were kept more closely informed of de-
velopments, were gratified to hear that
the administration is actually engaged
in the negotiation of new treaty, be-

than 23/4 per cent of alcohol by
weight"
The suggested legislation would not
violate the spirit Of the 18th amend.
ment, but in effect amend the Vol.
stead act by killing the provision pro.
hibiting the manufacture of beer with
an alcoholic content. A bill or amend.
ment to that effect will be introduced
in the house to be considered when
the regular revenue bill Is taken up.
Practical experts have estimated
that between 9O,OO0,OOO and 100000, 900
barrels Of beer would be consumed If
it contained 1874 per cent Of alcohol.

and means committee expect to get

GREAT responsibility IN

FRANcO-BRITIsH IN ROW
Great Britain Likely to Insist on Not
Sending Troops to slIesia-Pre-
mier BRAND May Try to Play
for More Time.

London-On the eve of the meeting
of the supreme council in Paris to con-
slider the fate of Upper Silecia, one Of
the most important gatherings Of that
body since the armistice, the British
attitude and policy may thus be sum-
married.:
While Great Britain is willing to
give Poland her just dues in Upper
Silesia, she also insists that full con-
sideralion and justice be accorded to
German claims.
There is a feeling in official and
other well-informed circles that Pre-
mier BRAND, realizing the gravity Of
the present situation, will not persist
in a course which would aggravate the
bitterness between Germans and Poles
and perhaps also scrap the Anglo
French entente.
In diplomatic quarters Ambassador
Harvey's position in the supreme coun-
Gil is akin to that of Henry White at
the Algerciras conference some years
ago. On that matter the Outlook, "a
well-known London weekly, says: ut
will be interesting to know why the
Paris press repeats and clings to the
myth that Mr.. Harvey is going to the
meeting of the supreme council mere
ly as an observer.
"This is profoundly true. If, and
when, any situation may arise to i'm
peril the peace of Europe, through the
Silesian or any other situation, the
representative of the United States
will act. The American administra-
lion takes the view that since the
United States was called upon to ex-
pend blood and treasure in one Euro
pean war, prevention of another was is
vital to American interests"
