Textiles shipments 10 the United

Barmen district and other German
manufacturing centers have returned

tiles from Germany to America are
far below normal. however, owing
to the prevailing high prices prac-
ttcally on everything manufactured
in this country.
Most OF the fabrics, consisting
chiefly OF dress materials. silks, mil
linery trimmings and other articles
for women's wear are made especial
~ for the American trade, on mail or
Geographic order, and on an average
are OF higher quality than taken by
any other country Some Of the tex
tiles which have gone forward to
the United States recently were con-
tracted for prior TO the occupatio Of
the Ruhr by the French and Belgian
forces in January. 1923, the delay in

Statement Says Thousands Of Civilians Are Flock
 ing To CoIors ,.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-(By Asso- ciated Press. .)--The Mexican embassy in a statement today dealing with the revolutionary situation in Mexico, said thousands of civilians were Hooking to the Obregon colors in all parts of the republic.
 "Thousands of civilians" said the statement, "a majority with previous military training, are volunteering to assist the government to put down the rebellion. In the state or Oaxaca volunteers are being organized and equipped to move with regular fed eral forces against the rebels under Generals Garcia Vigil and Maycotte. These rebels are short of food, ammu- milton and In a precarious condition.
 The recruiting campaign in the northern part of the republic has convinced that its citizens are loyal. As fast as the volunteers can be equipped they are being organized. Already the government has large bodies under training, and shortly will be able to move them against the rebels. Others of the loyal volunteers force will be used as garrisone.
 'sThs assassination of Governor Carrillo of Yucatan by De La Huerta rebels stirred the republic to its heart.
 'Notwith standing the news pub lished by rebel agents. they have not begun any new military activities, and on the other hand, the govern. ment proposes to attack them."
 Reports that agents of the Mexican revolutionary group were negotiating in New Orleans for quantities of mu' nitions and that the purchase would be permitted. was the direct cause of the announcement of policy. A tele- gram was sent to New Orleans by the department of justice, whicf read: t
 Matter presented to Secretary O State and he today issued the fol lowing denial: Although there Is nt embargo on the shipment of war ma terials to Mexico, such shipments ar, being discouraged. The state depart ment does not look upon them witt favor and they are against this gov ernment's policy"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The mys tery of the lost colony-a myster! as old as the residence of white meI in America-may yield it's secret t, historians and scientists as the resul of the discovery here of a corroded twisted piece of metal crudely in scribed with what seems to be message from the dim past.
 Scientists of the Smithsonian in stitution will seek to get from tn piece of metal some clew to the fat of the Roanoke colony established il f5S7 on Roanoke island, now a par of North Carolina.

Again Chosen French Premier In Senatorial
 Contests , ese.

PARIS. Jap. s.-tBy Associated today Premier foincare was re-elect- ed. He received 7s4 votes out of the S10 boiled.
 In the department of the Marnee Leon Bourgeois. Henri Merlin and NJ. Montfeuillard, radical socialists, were reelected. One hundred and sixteen seats in the senate were contested for by indirect election today, the senators being chosen by deputies, members of the departmental and ward codn- cils and special delegates. The first ballot accounted for S2 seats, but the returns leave the complexion of the senate absolutely unchanged thus far.
 Thirty-four seats remain yet for decision on second ballot, and unless D strong current either to the right or left develops in the balloting little indication of the trend of public elections next spring will be gained.
 The election of most interest was that of Premier Poincare who was returned to the senate by 794 votes out of s1o pollsd.
 Fall To Elect. Loire departments, in which the com munist cafhpaigns was very active, failed to elect any senators on the first ballot. M. Cachin. the commu : mist leader in the department Of Nord. and M. Goldsky, and M. Midol. in Loire, ran far behind the other tickets.
 Thus three seats won by the eX- treme left might indicate some slight movement to the left except for this crushing defeat which the party suf- fered in the Nord and Loire depart- n1ents, in which they had placed all their hopes.
 Five republicans union senators elected for Moselle, headed by Gen. eral Hirschauer sent joint telegram to M. Poincare affirming that thes would "energetically support the premier policy in behalf of France and the republic"
 The conservative right party car ried tho departments of Loire-Inferl and Ilie-Et- -vilaine, ten seats solid.
 The departments of Lot and Loirei reelected all the outgoing senators tho six seats going to radicals ano social radicals. M. deMonzie. who con ducted the preliminary negotiations with the soviets in 1923, and M. Lou bet, son of the former president were among those elected in Lot.

 Under existing law surtaXes begin ming at l per cent on incomes be- tween $5,000 and S10.000, and in- crease to maximum of 50 per cent on incomes exceeding $200.000.
 The difficulty of the treasury or tific scale of surtaX rates is oDvi- ous," MT. Garner said, "in view of the fact that the larger portion of in come subject to these rates is derived from corporate profits, especially after the proposed reduction of rates on earned incomes goes into effect. This is true because during recent years. or at least prior to 1922, cor poration owners have been retaining in their corporations more than 50 per cent Of the corporate profits, while distributing less than an average ot 40 per cent, on paying surtaXes ] thereon.
