Mexican Labor Secretary
Denies Statement About
Assistance of ObregOn
(By Dispatcn =. p. wire}

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 1S.-Objecting
to certain statements attributed to
him to the effect that General Alvaro
Obregon still expressed relative
part in the settlement of government
tai problems, Secretary of Industry
and Labor Luis N. Morones demanded
and obtained from L. S. Spars, a spe-
cial staff correspondent of the New
York Times a reputation of state
ments attributed to the secretary.
In a. letter signed by Spars he
states that the mistake was probably
due TO error in transmission or trans
Iation Five. points were attributed
to Secretary Morones in his inter-
view the unchanged attitude of the
administration regarding the new
petroleum law; the fact that regula.
tions would probably be promulgated
within the next Is days; that the poll
icies of the present government We're
a continuation of those of General
Obregon; that all obligations instruct
ed by the Obregon or other former
administrations had been faithfully
carried out by President Gales and
that the cooperation between the
American and Mexican federations of
labor was a matter of international
rather than domestic relations.

Chinese Do Not Care For
American Motion Pictures

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 18.-The
spoken drama has kept the motion
picture out of San Franciscos China
town and the reason is that unless a
Chinese has lived in the United States
many years, he does not understand
the silver sheet play.
Among it's theaters, Chinatown
boasts of two of the legitimate variety
that give nightly performances. One
begins at 6 p m. and continues until
1915 the next morning. The, other
starts at p. m. and ends about mid
night
The plays are the same as are pro-
duced in theaters in China and take
from five to six hours to unfold the
plot. The prices are the same in
both houses, the highest being $1.75
for box seats.
If a patron goes to the theater at
9 D. M, the prices for the best seat
left is SO cents, and for the poorest
25c If the ticket is bought at 10
p. M, the highest priced seat is 35c.
All seats are numbered and if the
ticket holder leaves his seat even
a few minutes after he first occupied
it, it will not be resould and no other
person can occupy it,, This rule has
prevented many a tong war that for
merly started because a theatergoer
occupied a seat that he had not pur-
chased. e rs ql

German Artists Protest
Severe Art Censorship

BERLIN, Feb. 18.-A protest move
ment has been inaugurated by Ger
man artists against the severity of
the censorship to which art is sub
jected in Germany.
The freedom of art they contend, is
seriously jeopardized when things
have come to such a pass that any
thing resembling a revolutionary idea
in painting, sculpture, literature or the
drama is legally prosecuted under the
heading of ''high treason" or "incit-
ing to class hatred" on the conten-
tion that the safety of the republic
is at stake.
Cases are mentioned in which not
only the offending art product was
confiscated but the author or inn
personator even sentenced to inn
prisonment.
The list of prominent artists ap-
pended to this appeal includes DR..
Ludwig FuIda, DR.. Max Osborn, Geo.
Bernhard, Professor M. Bonn, Profess
sor Einstein, Professor Max Lieber-
mann, president of the reichstag,s Paul
Loebe, Heinrich and Fllomas Mann,
former cabinet minister Gustav Rad
bruch, Ernst Toller and editor in
chief of the Tageblatt, Theodore
Wolff.

SPIRIT OF WAR IN BOTH SIDES

Those, who think we are never to
have another war, those who con-
fuse. unpreparedness with way to
peace, those who assume that all
military men are the most efficient
conservers of peace and bitterest
haters of war. may come to a little
light through reading of the dis
graceful occurrence when military
men attempted to heckle Doctor
Cadman and called him liar in a
meeting to which they had received
no invitation to take part, unless as
listeners.
The distinguished clergyman was
speaking against the introduction of
military training in our schools and
colleges under the instruction of
military teachers. Whether his
arguments against this trend were
sound or not is beside the question,
as he was not attacking the Govern
ment and he had a right to his
opinion. His conclusions that this
leads to militarism may or may not
be sound. Surely the attitude of his
hecklers appeared to confirm his an
nounced apprehensions. Had he OBJ
jected to this interference with the
schools on the ground that they al
ready have more than they seem
able to attend to, his contention

Mystery Camp" by NJ. M.
Here is a volume that will have
special appeal to boys for the mar
rative of the adventures of three
sturdy youths in a quiet section of
the Texas coast, contains many ele-
ments that go to make a real
thriller buried treasure,
pirate ship, a kidnapping and a
rescue, and tropical hurricane that
wrecks buildings and causes dis
aSter.
Yet the story keeps within reason.
The boys do not go out and single
handed capture pirates and bring
back the gold. The sequence of
events has its beginning when the
boys Specks Evans, Snappy Dean
and Blooey Brown go on a camping
trip to deserted island across the
bay from their homes. Many startl-
ing adventures follow their dis
covery of a buried treasure and the
return of the Mexican bandits to the
island to secure the chest they had
hidden there.
The manner in which the boys
craftily outwit the bandits and with
assistance secure the treasure. will
hold the interest of the readers,
young and old. The contents of the
treasure chest is not revealed until
the concluding chapter; and the
boys on opening the box find that it
is filled with quartz worth about a
thousand dollars. They are just as
happy as if the chest had been filled
with gold and show wisdom in their
decision to put the money at in
terest to- pay for their college
courses.
The true value Of friendship is set
forth in the story of how the boys
were aided by Jose, the son OF
Senior Moke Mendoza, the Mexican
pirate chief who is called by his
enemies Eveless Moke. Jose makes
all plans for the escape of Specks
Evans who was kidnapped and car
ried away on the pirate ship. When
the pirate ship is wrecked by the
troical hurricane. Moke is the
victim of the disaster and Jose is
taken to the Evans house, which is
thereafter "home" to him.
The boy who starts to read this
book will be intensely eager to con-
tinue to learn chatter by chapter
what the gangs next move will be.
