AIEBIco ALARMED OVER
 SIGNS OF REVOLUTION

Washington. Feb. 1T.-Additionsl gov e-nment advices received today from the Mexican border and points beyond the line indicated that the Ooregon govern ment regarded with some apprehension signs of incipiet revolutionary move ments particularly in the vicinity of the border.
 The reports reaching Washington from Fl Paso region while unofficial in char acter show clearly that the Juarez sit ustion is full of uncertainty. Mexican officers are said to have disclosed their feeling that an uprising against the Mex ican government is impending. Amer ican advices SO far as known contain nothing to confirm this belief gained from any independent source though it was pointed out today that the precau- tionary measures taken by Brigadier General Rowze in holding his two cav airy regiments on the post at Fort Bliss night before last in readiness to pre- vent firing into American territory in- dicated that American officers shared the expectation of the Mexican federal commanders that an outbreak was con- ing.
 There was nothing In today's advsces 1t was said, to warrant any step at this time toward augmenting General Howze's i forces or otherwise strengthening the | border troops.

NO CHANGE IN ATTAvUDE
 OF U. s TOW tRD MEXICO

Washington, Feb. 17.-While the American government is desirous of happy restoration of relationship with Mexico, it was said at the White House today there has been no change in the situation prevailing for the eleven months
 Proposals by certain interests to the state department for recognition of the Obregon government, it was said, had been found to lack official authority and the belief of the administration some four weeks ago that a way had been found for restoration of relationship had proved unfounded
 It was said that the American govern ment always was ready to take up any proposals for recognition of Mexico that bore the stamp of official approval, but that persons desirous of obtaining rec ognition to serve their personal ends would find the situation unchanged It was emphatically stated that there was no special representative, no personel agent, and no other person with authir- ity to speak for the United States any ! where in Mexico other than the regular diplomatic officials assigned by the state i department

along" Hugh L. Cooper, consulting en- gineer to the government on Muscle Shoals development declared today in Lesti1ying before the house military committee which is considering the of fer.
 MT. Cooper attacked the offers from practically every angle and at one point declared it would be calamity to re- move the super-water power projects of the sout hfrom the field of public utility for 100 years. He also presented esti- mates based upon army engineer data, showing that it would cost the govern ment $1,275, 100000 during the next 100 years in order that MT Ford may secure sole, unregulated possession of the greatest water power the south has,"
 The maximum time for lease of gov ernment lands containing water power possibilities, MT. Cooper said should be 30 years and only that long unless the licensee was made subject to the popu. lations of the federal watel power act He opposed the 100-year period on the ground that it was impractical from 2 business standpoint and contract ne. gotiated at this time could be made ap plicable to conditions he believed would prevail in 2022.
 AHOtnef feature OL the I ora OHel which was mentioned by the witness was that agreeing to pay four per cent interest on the money which would bt needed to complete the two dams al 1 Muscle Shoals. He said the tota amount expended and required to be spent upon those projects, estimated a $S3,175,475 should be made interes

 more for the money it had borrowed Development of power at Muscl
 Shoals under the Ford offer, MT. Coo per asserted, would, be possible at ap
 proximately half the same cost as Mia gara Falls and at the Keokuk dar

sisted on the other hand, that objection 10 the sales tax wasso strong in some quarters that if that plan of meeting soldier payments was presented square ly it might be defeated.
 But if the sales tax method is resort ed to. it was said President Harding would view with favor a tax on pro- duction rather than on general retail sales. The executive was said to favor this form, it was said at the White House, for it was, he believed, the sim plest form of this tax and would avoid problems of exemptions which would probably arise in case a general retail sales tax was decided on.
 Opposition to the sales tax proposal however was expressed in several quar- ters today. T. C. Atkeson. Washington representative of the national grange, characterized it as designed to shift the burden of taxation from those most able to pay it, to those least able to pay" and Samuel Gompers, president or the American Federation of Labor, de- clared it would work an injustice upon | the whole people,
 Mir. Atkeson outlined his views in ga ! letter 10 Chairman Fordney in which he said the grange had suggested the ex- | cess profits tax for the bonus, and if that was found inexpedient, "a tax 1 should be levied which will not be add | cd to the cost of living of the millions with limited income"
 Mir. Gompers gave his views in a for nal statement in which he said that or sanized labor stands one hundred per cent. for the soldiers bonus" but Op- : poses any form of retail. sales or con- ] sumption tax to raise revenue to pay the bonus or for any other purpose. D The bonus, he said, should have the | approval of congress but to create a
 sales tax would be to turn a measure | of justice into imposition and an injus-
 tice upon the whole people,"
 Labor recognizes in the proposal tc 1 attach the sales tax to the soldiers ad- justed compensation bill" said Mir | Gompers. "a subterfuge intended either
 10 defeat the bonus or to create a feel
 ing of resentment against the veterans
 of the world war by placing the burder upon those least able to bear it, anj
 by permitting the escape of those whC proiteered so relentlessly during the
 period of the war and since the war" Representative McArthur, republican, Oregon. issued a statement tonight de
 claring that although he voted for the
 soldiers bonus bill which passed the
 house two years ago, he could not votl
