Monterey, Mex, Feb. 10.-Announce-
mcnt has been made here at Rotary
Club headquarters, that the Rotary In
tcrnational has officially designated
Mexico as the third district of rotary,
and named Nelson Rhodes as the first
district governor. A district conference
will be held in Mexico City on March
20 and 81. 1923.
One of the high spots in the meeting
Of the local Rotarians, held at the For
cign Club last week, was the speech
made by Senior Pablo Salas Y Lopez,
president Of the Monterey National
Chamber of Commerce, who told the ro-
tarians that the convention of the
federated chambers Of commerce. would
convene here during the month Of April,
and invited all members Of the club
to participate in making the conven-
ton a success. He made brief mention
of several important impending matters
which would be discussed at that time.

Their Own Hands.

Monterey. Mexico, Feb. 10. - The
principal object OF the secretary OF
wars trip to the western coast ter
ritory was to find out whether there is
any basis 10 the complaints that have
been presented lately against the mill
tary chiefs commanding federal forces
in that particular part Of Mexico. IT
is said that military commanders have
become regular little Satrapas." dis
possessing citizens living in that sec
ton without any attention to laws or
orders from the war department.
In case the complaints are true, they
will be severely punished by the mill
tary authorities. President Oregon
has given orders to that effect, it is
eoid
