MEXICO CAUSES
DEEP CONCERN
Washington Officials Alarmed
at BOlshevistic Activities
Across Border
INTERVENTION Is ASKED
Nicaraguan Presidents Ap-
peal Has Not Yet Reached
State Department
INTERVENTION Is ASKED

Washington. Nov. R)--Bol-
shevlstic activities emanating from
Mexico, which have become increas-
ingly apparent in the tangled political
affairs Of central American countries
lying between the United States and
the Panama Canal, arc causing deep
concern in Washington.
This situation, intensifying the al.
ready strained relations between
the American and Mexican govern
ments. has been brought more point
edly into the open than ii has been
allowed to appear heretofore
through the appeal to the United
States by the new president of Nicar-
aqua. Adolfo Diaz, for intervention to
restore peace in that country.
Appeal Not Yet Received
Diaz' appeal, following immediate
~ upon formal recognition Of his
government yesterday by the United
States, has not yet reached the state
department, and any decision upon it
must, Of course, wait until it has
been studied.
In a statement explaining the ac-
tion of the American government in
recognizing Diaz. however, Secretary
Kellogg expressed the hope that the
new presidents offer Of general am-
nesty and cabinet posts to his liberal
opponents would be accepted and
would end the revolutionary condi-
tion (which has invited interference
from outside sources, state Of af-
fairs which must cause concern to
every friend Of stability in central
America"
The warning thus expressed was
clearly based on official information
Of filibustering expeditions out OF
Mexican ports to aid revolutionary
forces in Nicaragua and Guatamala
and DiaZ' request ut least makes pos
sible the employment of American
naval vessels to prevent the landing
Of such arms and ammunition in his
country.
Vessels Carry Arms
Five gun-running vessels have left
Mexican ports for Nicaraguan and
Guatamalan waters, to the Washing
ton governments knowledge, under
circumstances which indicate Mexican
official cOnnivance, and foreshadow
in the opinion of responsible Ameri-
can officials, similar attempts to pro.
mote political disorder in other cen
trail American countries.
For nearly two weeks it has been
evident Mexican-American relations
have taken on more serious aspect
than previously, in the Washington
view, and it is now apparent that the
long pending oil and land law issues
and claim controversies have been
overshadowed by the Mexican inter
ference in the political affairs of
other central American nations. Pre-
sumably, the chief purpose Of this
interference is the fostering of radi-
cal propaganda and bolshevist philos-
ophy.
The conflict between the theories
Of government prevailing ut present
in the United States and Mexico has
been observed here with concern for
sometime, since it has been found
impossible thus far to devise a point
Of contact which would serve to bring
the two together sufficiently to per-
nit the development Of understand
ings and agreements.

CASE
MAY BE TAKEN
TO HIGH COURT
King Went Into Seclusion
Because Fair Trial Was Inn
possible, Counsel Says

Benton Harbor, Mich, Nov. 18-LP)
litigation regarding the
House Of David appeared possible to-
day.
Attorneys for Benjamin Purnell,
leader Of the cult who was captured
in a surprise raid on the colony yes
terday, say their defense of Purnell
against charges of individuals and the
state of Michigan will be carried to
the highest courts.
H. T. Dewhirst, former California
superior judge, now member Of the
colony, and w. J. Barnard of Paw
Paw, chief counsel, say that Purnell
went into seclusion four years ago
because he could not obtain a fair
trial.
"In view of the attitude Of the
press three years ago, it would have
been not only asinine and rank stu
pidity but suicidal to have submitted
to trial at that time," the statement
read.
Furnishes $4,000 BAIL
The King was resting among his
people today. Bail of $4,000 was
given on charges of criminal assault
preferred by two former girl men,
bers of the colony. The bond was
signed by eight local merchants.
Besides criminal charges Purnell
faces action by the state which seeks
to disband the colony.
Members Of the colony doubt
whether their leader will live to see
the end of the litigation into which
he and the colony are plunged.

FOr-Chapter Serves in
Many Other Ways

Workers in the annual Roll Call
drive of the American Red Cross
called at the Association Of Commerce
rooms this morning to receive their
supplies before going to their as
signed streets to begin a
careful canvass Of the city.
The response Of Bismarck citi-
zens in this drive has been
remarkable and sufficient
workers have been secured SO that
every home and business place in the
city will be visited within the three
day limit of the drive.
Short talks by Harold Shaft and q
radio address by Attorney General
George Shafer last evening are be-
lieved to have interested large
number of people in the drive.
Miss Madge Runey has been added
to the list Of workers.
A Clearing House
The Red Cross in Bismarck serves
as q clearing house for q
large number Of charitable
enterprises in Bismarck, ac-
cording to Miss Mary Cashel,
Red Cross secretary. The
office has numerous calls for help
and it also receives donations from
many organisations and individuals
who wish to help.
The corrective work for children is
an important phase of the welfare
work conducted by the Red Cross.
Optical, medical and dental care are
provided for children who have no
other means of receiving it. The doc
tors of the city have shown splendid
cooperation, Miss Cashel said, and
have given their services free Of
charge, thus leaving only the supplies
used to be paid for from the organ
ization's funds.
Every effort is made to keep chill
dren in school property dressed. The
Red Cross has secured much clothing
from individuals in cases of this kind
but has purchased shoes, stockings,
and underwear for the children.
Transients Cared For
Appeals from the families of SOL
diers have been answered and tran
sient soldiers have been cared for.
Some of the most touching cases to
be handled are concerned with trans
tents, many of whom arrive in Bis
marck i'll, without funds, or proper
clothing.
One case was that of a 17-year-old-
boy, suffering with tuberculosis. He
asked the Red Cross for funds to pay
his way to the next county seat. In
stead an investigation Of his case was
made and Red Cross officials at his
home town, Rochester, N. Y, were
notified Of his condition. (which was
learned from consultation with ply
sicians to be quite serious. Funds
were forwarded from Rochester to
send the boy to his home. Travellers
aid societies along the route were
notified and he was cared for through
their agencies on the trip home.
