The piano recital Thursday even

girls who have made an enviable repu-

Police Commissioner Enright issued
an order yesterday increasing the mo-

lished a month ago in eleven police
precincts, to ninety seven motor patrol
men and four scrgeants. The order is
effective at once.
The motorcycle force as reconstitut-
ed will serve in two shifts, one on duty
from a p. m. to midnight and the other
from midnight to a. m. The men
will work out Of the inspection district
headquarters and must report by tele
phone once an hour. On each shift in
Manhattan and the Bronx there will
be one sergeant and twenty-nine men.
In Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond
there will be fourteen men and a ser
geant to each shift. The patrol viii

Commissioner Enright. it was said
last night, decided on large increase
| in the force because of effective service
| rendered by the small squad thus far
employed in patrol duty. The rapidity
with which the motor patrolmcn are
ena bled to travel from one locality to
another is declared to have convinced
| the Commissioner that ten men motor
mounted equal fifty on foot, In com
menting on the order last night Deputy
Chief Inspector Dominick Henry said
the entire motor patrol force, under
the system of operation provided, could
be concentrated at any point in Man

MEXICO CITY, May 80 (By The
Associated Press. Press dispatches
from the Unneo States indicate that
the rebellious activities of Felix Diaz
are considered more seriously there
than in Mexico. The War Office reports
show that the incipient revolutionary
movements in Mexico have been effect

tered hurries, which are described by
military observers as evident attempts
to cmbarrass the administration during
the absence in New York of Secretary
of the Treasury de la Huerta.
survey of the situation indicates
that virtually every state in the re
public harbors rebel bands ranging
from four or five to several hundred
but there is no unity of purpose or
command and none Of them at present
can be said to offer serious threats to
the central government. Until these
scattered troops are consolidated there
is reason to believe that President OBJ
regon is justified in his optimistic dec
laratlons that the uprisings are not
political and not important
or the numerous alleged revolution
aries in the United States DiaZ is the
most widely proclaimed here, and his
adherents are said to be most numerous
in the Vera Cruz isthmus territory ana
in Oaxaca
Gonzales and Cantu are especially
strong in the north. but there have
been no official statements to support
the border rumors that these former
Mexican generals contemplate aggrcs-
sive action. 1t is generally understood
that the rebels operating between Sal
tlllo and San Luis Potosi intended to
make demonstration against Secretary
de la Huertas train as it passed north
ward last week, but the Secretary
changed his route at Queretaro and
entered the United States through Ell
Paso without incident
Disquieting reports have been re-
ceived during the last few days from
Yucatan, where radicals and conserva-
tives are indulging in more than usual
hostilities, but these disturbances are
not aimed at the central government.
Secretary Of War Serrano at present
is engaged in an inspection trip
throughout the entire southern part Of
the republic following his reported
pacification of Tabasco The revolu-
tionary threats emanating from that
region are not taken seriously here in
government circles.

BELFAST, May so (By The Associ-

der in the vicinity of Lifford and Stra-
bane was the scene of sharp clashes
between Ulster and Southern Irish
forces to-day. The engagement began
shortly after midnight and continued
until after daylight with armored cars
and machine guns in action and snipers
on house roofs constantly active.
The fighting opened at place called
republicans fired on Ulster specials at
a bridge. The latter replied and sent
out a call for assistance, but the Ul-
stermen were forced back to their own

suffered.
The republican forces retreated in
turn, taking up positions in houses in
Lifford, from which they fired continu-
ously, the specials replying from cover.
Meanwhile a section of the Rifle Bril-
gade quartered along the Londonderry
road was called upon and took over
the garrison posts.
The evacuation Of the Beeleek salient
comes as a blow to those who thought
that none of the siX-county soil would
be surrendered.
Refugees Flock to Kin
Refugees are hocking to relatives
throughout Fermanagh, where every
able bodied citizen is either an "a" or

Fermanagh situation, for the invasion

Prospect of Settlement Here
Has Sent Securities Up;
Half IRE OUned in Eurone

Settlement of MeXico's financial
problems, which has been held in abey-
ance since 1914, when that country
ceased the payment of interest on most
of it's internal and external loans, is
expected to result, according to The
Associated Press, from the conference
to be held here between Adofo de la
Huerta, Mexican Secretary of the
Treasury and delegation of the in
ternational committee of bankers on
Mexico headed by Thomas w. Lamont,
who arrived from Europe yesterday.
Senor de la Huerta reached New
York City yesterday with party of
capitalists and railway men from
Mexico City. The party came in
private car.
A member of the party said the
de la Huerta mission was purely
financial. The minister is not cx-
pected to visit Washington Leon
Salinas, president of the National
Railways of Mexico, was member of
the group.
While exact statistics are not OBJ
tainable. Mexicos national debt is ap-
proximately 100000, 900, not including
claims for property damages against
the government and depreciation of ma
tionalized railroad property.
The direct external debt, as com
piled by the international committee,
amounts to $239, 1877 $3.50; the direct
internal debt to s9o,99s, ,29S.l3; the
! bonds guaranteed by the Mexican gov
ernment exclusive of railway guar
anties) to $4,000, ,53l .88. and the
Railways of Mexico to 320,14l 1880
making total Of $693 ,2S6, ,826.41. These
figures include interest approxmated
to December 81, 1921.
Transactions in Mexican government
securities have been very active since
the debt refunding negotiations were
resumed, In the first five months of
this year. Mexican government IS
ranged from sd TO 70l1 and the As from
39a to 62.
In the week ending April s. when it
was announced that Senior de la Huerta
was coming to New York, the price of
the IS jumped points to 50, total
transactions for that week being s654,-
600. At the same time the as rose from
54 to 50 with total sales Of 81 .O20, 900

The war made it almost impossible to

securities, but large percentage of them
were held orlglnally IN germany. 1t is
known. however. that large blocks of
! these German-held securities were sold
in the London, Paris and New York
markets in the few weeks preceding
the outbreak of the war.
1t is reported also that Allied and
neutral investors obtained possession
of others during the war; despite the
fact that trading with the enemy was
forbidden in all Allied countries. Rep
resentatives of German interests here
frankly stated that it was impossible
to estimate the present Mexican hold
ings of German investors.

forming active service.
Inspector Henry pointed out that
with the reserves n ormidable force
OF men could be concentrated within
brief space Of time, adding that the
motor patrol would do scout duty,
covering large areas in short periods
Of time. The total additional force,
aside from the reserves but including
the recently installed detective patrol,
viii be $50 men.
The sudden decline in violent crime
following the establishment of an su-
tomobile patrol was said to have in
spired Commissioner Enright's re-
cent order. He is understood to have
reached decision that the patrolman
and detective travelling afoot can only
operate effectively when supported by
a fast moving force, and there is de-
clarcd to be a strong probability Of
further Increases in the mounted force
within a few months.
