Mexico Seeks Permission to Send

BY the Associated Press

MEXICO CITY. September 21.-The
foreign office, announces that it has
requested permission of the United
States Government to allow the pas
sage of Mexican troops across United
States territory in the campaign
against the rebelliOus Yauui Indians.
While the movement of Mexican
troops across American border terri
tory has been permitted in the past as
measure of assistance to the MeXl-
can government in dealing with revo-
lutionarv outbreaks. there is no eStah-
lished American policy in that regard.
Presumably the present request from
Mexico City for such permission Will
be considered on its own merits.
In previous instances where MeNi-
can troops have travelled by rail pre-
cautions have been taken to see that
there was no debarkation en- route.
The troop trains in every case were
under American military escort.

President Coolidge does not see how

herence to the World Court. can be
modified or changed, it was made
clear at the White House today.
Neither does the President sympathize
with any proposal to modify the fifth
reservation or any of the other four
reservations.
The revelation of the attitude of
the President toward suggested
plans from Il committee of World
Court member nations meeting in
Geneva for the modification of the
fifth reservation adopted by the Sen

that the American reservations must

The proposal of the delegate com

fifth reservation. as reported in press
dispatches. was that the United States
should have equal rights with mem
berS of the League of Nations Coun-
Gil when it comes to passing upon re-
quests for advisory opinions of the

The fifth reservation, it was pointed
out by a spokesman for the Presi-
dent today, was drafted for the prOtec-
ton of American interests. The state
ment in this reservation is clear. it
was said, and specifies that the United
States shall have the power to prevent
he ranting of an advisory opinion
by the World Court to the League of
Nations on any matter in which the
United States has or claims to have
an interest. There is nothing in the
reservation, it was further pointed
out. which urged that the United
States merely has the same right as
members of the League of Nations
Council in regard to passing upon re-
quests for advisory opinions from the
World Court.

President Opposes Change.

1t was made clear at the White
House, too, that the President does
not believe he has the power to
change or modify in any way the
American reservations, adopted by the
Senate. He is opposed to varying the
reservations or their intent.
Already strong opposition to the
plan of the delegate committee in
Geneva with regard to the fifth reser-
vation has been expressed by Senator
Willis of Ohio, one of the leaders in
the fight for American adherence to
the World Court in the Senate last

II they take it seriously theyA have

young men do, and so do not let
interfere with any other serious wo

Love is common state of mind or

Whatever may be the reason-phys-
ical social or emotional-the young
fellow in love finds it, in most cases.
an occupation which monopolizes all
his available time. If he devotes to
the object of his affections the atten-
ton he would like and that she re-
quires, he is worth nothing for any
thing else either physical or mental,
especially mental.
Love making, it is admitted, l be-
lieve, is best carried on in the eve
ming, so that the young fellow who is
employed in some physical or semi
physical way from a. m. until 5 p. m.
has the best chance while in love Of
retaining his job. If his professional
or educational duties require him to
labor at night, the chances of his get
