After the nations signatory to the
Locarno treaties had deposited with
the league secretariat signed copies

Germany demanded that the Rhine

vision, and consequently no other
guarantees, such as occupied zones,
are longer necessary"

ment of artillery is reported to have
been destroyed by the Indians. The
YaQuis stopped train on which Gen
eral Obregon was travelling and seized
the former president, but he was soon
released, presumably after paying ram

by revolutionary agents sent into the

president AND MRS. COOLIDGE
L and their summer household de-
parted on Saturday from White Pine
