WAR FILM REALISTIC
Powder River" Portrayis Vivid
Scenes of Late Conflict.

The tactics of the Germans, the
part America played in the war, the
sufferings OF the soldiers, the actual
fighting scenes and the great men
who directed the battles are all shown
in Powder River the historical film
made by the United States Signal
Corps, which will show at the Grand
theater until February 81.
One of the interesting features in
connection with the showing of the
famous film is the collection of war
trophies the Second Division has on
display in the lobby of the theater.
The proceeds of the showing of the
film will go to the Veterans of For
eign Wars.
The Second Division, took an i'm
portant part in the scenes of the pic
ture, making it doubly important and
interesting TO the people of San An
tonic.
Powder River shows all Of the
horrors of the war from the sinking
Of unprotected and innocent ships TO
the falling Of men on the battlefield.
The pictures of the sinking of ships
by the unseen submarine were taken
by the Germans and given wide pub
Lefty in the hopes of striking fear
in the hearts Of the Allied nations.
The picture is particularly inter
cSting to school children as it gives Il
history of the war in pictures that
they will later be called upon TO study.

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

The inference that could fairly be
drawn from the course of today's
markets was that financial opinion re.
garding the situation in the Ruhr had
not been changed by the debate in
the British Parliament and the de
feat of the proposal to make a media
ton offer to. the authorities at Paris.
Had financial Judgment taken the
sanguine view of the outcome attri-
buted to official French and Belgian
sources. il would have been reflected
both in the movement OF exchange
rates and in that of government
bonds. But neither French nor Bel
gian francs showed any inclination
toward recovering their recent losses
and while French bonds went higher.
the advance was comparatively trif-
linz.
The upward movement continued in
sterling and was the most striking
feature of the day. But at no time
has the valuation of the British pound
been basd upon development in the
Franco German struggle.

STOCKS L0NTINUE

Heaviest Profit-taking for
Over a Week
Sets in.
IN STIART p. WEST.

Copyright, by The san Antonio Light
New York, Feb. 2O.-The stock
market ran into the heaviest selling
today that it has encountered for a
week. Speculative sentiment was very
mixed. Some judges claimed to have
seen signs of important distributivc
selling for several days while Others
maintained that there were too many
uncompleted pool operations for much

One of the first moves was the TAX

had done little in the market for
sometime. This demonstration is
usually the case when the rails be-
come active. was short lived. Still
while il lasted. it brought the rails
either up to or above the best prices
reached so far this year.
In the industrial section the move
ment was very irregular. The Street
did not Xix the news that Phillips Pc
troleum directors proposed TO increase
the present stock by 100000 shares
and Phillips Petroleum broke sharply.
In the other oils there was CONSIDER
able selling also. The coppers con-
tinued to show the optimistic feeling
resulting from the advance in the cop
per metal TO sixteen cents but after
n further advance in the early part
of the dav. they were inclined TO drop
behind. The sugars felt the effect
of heavy profit-taking and most of
them went lower. The Steels, equip.
ments and motors during the greater
part of the session did little more than
hold their own.

REPORTED MEXICO
Is TO CONFISCATE
SPANIARDS' LANDS.
Said to Contemplate COL
onization of Russians
and Germans.

Reports reaching here from Mexico
City are, that the Department of Az
riculture, headed by Ramon F. De
Negri, has. recommended and that
Gen. Plutarco Elias Gales, minister
of the interior and dean Of the cabi
net, is considering a very drastic plan
for the confiscation Of immense land
holdings held by Spanisrds in Next
co. who, according to De Negri, have
refused to comply with the Agraris
regulations. The land holders have
entered a protest with the Spanish
tionality of the Agrarisn laws.
The De Negri plan is based on the
fact that Spain being weak nation,
and large undeveloped tracts of land
in Mexico are held by Spaniards, that
the government should take charge of
these properties for subdivision and
colonization, the purpose according to
these reports, being to settle them
with Germans and Russians. II is
reported 1000 German families are
soon TO go TO Mexico, and at least
10000 more Germans will be avail
able for colonization purposes, if some
of these lands can be given them.
The Russian colonies are to be for
the most part Russian Jews. who
have strong backing from Jewish or
ders, to assist them in settling in
Mexico. Representatives of the Rus
slams have been in conference with
Elias Gales and the scheme TO bring
them over is fully matured. il the
government can furnish the agricul-
tural lands they desire.
Most Of the, laad confiscstion
against Spaniards are 20 be sconsum-
mated in the interior of Mexico, and
in Vera Cruz and the Isthmus Of Te-
hauntepec.
1t is freely predicted. that il the
government approves De NeEri's
scheme it will bring a severance of
diplomatic relations with Spain. but
DE Negri argues, that it will be the
means Of developing the dormant re,
sources Of the republic on such a vast
scale. that Mexico can well afford 20
take the step.
Whether the government will psy
for the lands to be confiscated. or will
allow the Spaniards TO hold alternate
sections is not made known, but in
either event, the plan will be of far
reaching consequences.
