President Gales, Of Mexico, in u
speech to labor organizations in Mex
leo City, reveals considerable excite
ment concerning the religious situa-
tion. He says, "The religious flag
must go; the devils know that that
flag is dead"
President Gales sayes, 1--WE have
increased rural schools now function
ing by 5000, have started more than
5000 schools for primary education" :"
The Mexican president declares
that the people are with him and the
new constitution, but the aristocrats
who produce nothing, but consume"
arc united with religion against the
government.
President Gales denounces the
press for "trying to take up the re-
ligious flag" and accuses the church
Of trying to stir up interference of
outside nations and organizations in
Mexican affairs. That very old fight
now revived in Mexico 10 one that
never did any good to any country.
At Sonora, Mexico, it seems you
get divorce in one week, with few
questions, asked. Paris cannot COM
pete with that. The Mexicans' get
divorce-quick machinery is bad from
the moral point of view. But it may

vorce ground prosperous Atnericans

they intend to marry later.
One husband or wife 10 much like
another in the divorce court. But the
Grand Canyon is totally unlike the
petrified forest, and both would help
married people to forget trifling
quarrels.
Alfred Reeves, of the national au-
tomobile chamber of commerce, says
the motor industry has been doomed
"by mass salesmanship." He praises
the manufacturers method of laying
down all over the country an adver-
tising "barrage" to clear the way for
local dealers when the cars arc ready

against him by Brig. Genera! Smedlcy
y. Butler of the marine corps. Colonel
Alexander Williams. until recently
commander Of the local marine base,
is maintaining strict silence to news
paper reporters and SO arc all other
officers interested in the case.
The filing Of charges By General
Butler followed the dinner party at
Colonel Williams home in Coronado
last Saturday night at which General
Butler was guest OF honor. 1t is
said that cocktails were served at the
dinner and that General Butler COM
mcnted on the fact. A number of
marine corps officers and their wives
attended the dinner.
The charges. however. were said to
have been based upon IA hotel party
later. at which the dinner guests were
invited.
Affidavits Offered
Several affidavits. some declaring
Colonel Williams was intoxicated and
others that he was not. accompanied
lhc generals charges.
Speculation today among navy and
marine officers centcrcd in the action
likely to be taken on the charges,
which have been turned over to Rear
Admiral Robertson. commanding the
eleventh naval district, for transmits
sion to Washington.
If a court martial j.; held it will
doubtless bring together distin-
guished lot of ranking officers to
constitute the court, for they all must
be superior in rank or seniority to
Colonel Williams. Navy officers said
early today that if the court were
held, it was not likely to convene fol
several weeks.
