Big Rally for Wednesday

On Wednesday there will be two bills on the program. In the after noon, at 130 o'clock, an Americani- zation feature will be given at the Public School and it is hoped that many local citizens will participate. There will be plenty of music and Captain Dancey and Commissioner of Education. Lester D. Henderson will deliver addresses to the student body. Captain Dancey has promised, too, to sing some of the war songs associated with the different armies in France.
 Wednesday evening will be the big Americanization Rally in Star land Theatre. This is regarded as the star feature of the program. It takes the form of a good, old fashioned community get together, when com munity song and open forum discus sion of national and international questions combine with Captain Dan cey's presentation of conditions at home and abroad, to make it an evening of vital interest. Governor Scott c. Bone, in speaking of the Americanization Rally, said that "every loyal American should re- gard it as patriotic duty to attend"
 There comes time in the life of every citizen," remarks Captain Dam cy, "when he should pause in his pursuit of pleasure and selfish gain. to give thought to some of the things associated with his citizen ship in the land. This is one of those Opportunities that are all too rare in these days of intensive materialism. An awakened public conscience is the surest safeguard against evil or danger and the purpose of this Americanization program is to eff feet that awakening here in Wran- gell. We have had capacity houses all through Alaska. The people, ev- erywhere have manifested wonder lul lhlCI Col anu w utu town like Cordova will fill its lar gest auditorium for every session of the program, and, that program dis tributed over an entire week, it means that the people are thinking, at last. Yet, that is typical of what every Alaskan town, so far, has done. | tnsr hot write a fine record in this American ization campaign. It Is not matter of foreign born or native born, ev- lery one is affected by Americaniza- tion. In fact, sometimes, we find the native born the hardest nuts to crack. Commissioner of Education Henderson will be a speaker at the rally"
 Commercial Club Special
 On Thursday noon, Captain Dam cey will speak to the Commercial Club, at the weekly luncheon. It is hoped that there will be an excep- tionally large attendance on this occasion, as Captain Dancey has something of vital character to say. Before the Commercial Clubs and Chambers of Commerce, all through Alaska, he has been discussing mat ters that affect the future of Alaska. His familiarity with conditions through Alaska, as we'll as in all parts of the United States and throughout the world, serves to give

Foreigners Rights
In Mexican Waters
Barred by Court

Mexico City, Oct. 20 "a. p. by
MaiD-Land and water rights in
Mexico of foreigners are vitality af-
fectcd by u recent supreme court
decision interpreting the famous
Article 81 of the Mexican Constitu-
ton of 1917, which played an i'm
portant part in last summers pre-
recognition conference.
The decision. although it does not
touch upon that part of Article 81
which nation2liZes Sub-soif petroleum
the principle that although for
eigners may comply fully with the
provisions of the law affecting the
acquisition of land and water rights
in Mexico. it is within the power of
the ministry of foreign relations to
refuse to sanction their titles If such
refusal is deemed to the national in
terest
1t also places upon that ministry
the immense responsibility of regu-
lating in the interests of the repub-
Tic the development by foreign CAPT.
tai of the immense sources of ma
tional wealth comprised within the
term land and water rights. and in n
measure regulating the investment
OF foreign capital in Mexico.
The courts finding. regarded as
being of superlative Importance to
foreign interests in Mexico, especially
since 1t is accepted as a possible in
dication of the bcnch's attitude to-
ward foreign oil rights. came as a
result Of an appeal by the Bacis
Gold and Silver Mining Co., Ltd,
OIL Durango, against acts of the
ministry of foreign relations alleged
10 be i'll violation of Articles IA and
~, Fraction l, of the constitution.
The company declared that in 1896.
while the Bacis river was under the
jurisdiction of the Durango state
government, it secured a concession
TO use the waters of the river in
operating a power plant, and when
the Bacis passed under federal juris-
olction 1t complied with all legal re-
quirements to have the concession
approved by the federal government
These included the waving of the
companys right to appeal to the
United States government for pro-
lection of its interests and an
agreement to consider itself a Mex
lean corporation insofar as the water
power concession was concerned.
When the foreign Office refused
to sanction the concession appeal
was had to the Supreme Court.
The court held, in effect, that:
Mexican citizens. by birth or
naturalization, have the fright" to
acquire land and water rights; but
foreigners, under. the courts inter-
probation of the state of mind which
dominated the constituent assembly
IN framing Article 81, have not this
right" even though they comply
with every legal requirement, since
the article authorizes the state
through the foreign Office. to decide
whether 1T is to the public interest
to sanction such land and water
rights as may be petitioned by
foreigners and to sanction such
rights. not because of any mandatory
feature of the article, but as a
faculty act of favor or grace"

once was that the people of this

making of this beverage a thousand

champagne was substituted by the
merrymakers who met to toast q
dead industry.
History abounds in references Is,
the excellence of this product of the
Argenteuil vineyards, and records
also that many years ago the last
bottle came from the press and was
consumed. The railroads at that
time began bringing wine to Paris
from the south, and the fields of
Argenteuil were turned over to the
production of fresh vegetables for
the tables of the capital. Today
