Not So Simple AS It rs Bloody

Despite reaSSuTlLg OLlclal message from MEXICO
City, it is perfectly apparent that Mexico today is
passing through grave crisis.
Next August Mexico is scheduled to elect sue
cessor to President Gales. Former President Obre-
gon close friend and supporter of Calla policies
would to have the inside track SO a revolt
has broken out to settle it with bullets instead of
ballots.
Beating the revolutionists to the draw and shoot
ing from the hip, so to speak, President Gales I'M
doubtedy gained the upper hand. One candidate
General Serrano captured and summarily exc
cuted. while General Gomez Obregon's other oppon-
ent, has taken to the tall mesquite
All of which sounds bloody but simple But it is
not so simple 1t is becoming more and more appar-
ent that revolution of formidable proportions
financed by ant-Cales- Obregon parties both north
and south of the Rio Grande was in making when
Gales discovered the plot and called the turn So
it Is too much to expect that the revoutionaries
will give up the ghost without further ado.
While optimstically worded dispatches continue to
reach this country from the Mexican capital promis-
ing an end to the trouble in fortyeight hours and
describing General Gomez in full fight with no
more than few score followers at his side from
other sources-not always reliable, confess-come
reports OF almost entire nation in revolt with any
where from 10000 to 10000 adherent with General
Gomez alone.
These tales may be simply the expression of the
DESIRE rather than the facts but it is certainly to
be expected that all the forces opposed to President
Gales and his regime will hit now if they can.
significant development is the sudden appear
ance in New York City of Gomez headquarters"
And it is no less worth noting that the first state
ment given out from this junta was a denial that
Gomez had been responsible for the revolution If
that is true-if General Gomez simply intended to
make an honest to goodness for the presidency
against Obregon and Serrano-why the Headquarters
in New York?
Furthermore, while Gomez propagandists were
busy in the American metropolis denying revolution
airy intent, Adolfo de la Huerta leader of the revo-
luton against Obregon when Obregon was President
was announcing from his home in Hollywood formal
alliance with Gomez to overthrow the Gales regime
which is mighty quick work.
The arm of coincidence is VIGOROUSLY long, but
this to be stretching it too far One day all is
serene with an orderly political campaign in full
swing and no one contemplating mischief The next
sees fullfedged revolt with revolutionary iuntas
propaganda bureaus, armed alliances and what not in
full swing 5000 miles away That we can not helm
feeling, is somehow putting little bit too much strain
on the imagination.
We hold no brief for Gales, obregon or any one
den sickenng and terrible ruthlessness which only
justify But developments during the last two or
City, tend to confirm Gales assertion that revo-
luton about to break when he saw it and struck
first.

What causes frost?

When the temperature is 80 de-
grees F. or below, the moisture in
the air freezes on plants and other
objects near the surface Of the earth
where the temperature is colder.
Frost is really ice, but the particles
which are very small, separate from
each other in such a way as to re-
fleet rays of light, which accounts
Tor the white appearance.

Which Is the shorter route across
the Atlantic, the northern or south
ern?
The northern route is shorter be-
cause straight line from point to
point on a globe or sphere Is the
shortest distance between two
points. 1t appears longer on Or
binary maps, because they are Mer-
Gator projections, which exaggerate
the size of northern areas. BY
measuring a globe, representing the
earth with a piece of string, one end
of which is at New York City and
the other at Liverpool, London or
Paris, it will be seen that 1t passes
over what is the northern route for
transatlantic steamers, or nearly
so. In summer time, Atlantic liners
take the southern route to avoid
icebergs which come down into the
north Atlantic during the summer
season.

But the Brahms was the rnasterful
