Last Fragment of Frontier Yields
 to Civilization

Fl Paso, Tex. Aug. 22 (UP)- Wild horses Of the plains Of the southwest are in great death march as a result of the increase in beef prices
 Range grass is not plentiful enough to feed both the cattle herds and wild horses that roam the plains. Ranchers have declared that the wild horse must die prob ably in reduction plants.
 By curious irony of fate. the only route by which many of the doomed animals can be driven to the plant at Fl Paso is over the desolate 1o0-mile highway from Hillsboro. N. M.. that thirst-tor- tured spaniards three centuries ago named Tornado del Muerto"-the Journey of Death!
 It's Journey of Death
 For the broomtail ponies and the wild burros, the barren trail is truly journey of death. Water Is scarce. on the trail and lockjaw breaks out in some of the herds. For the. animals who escape death on the trail. there are the bullets of the slaughter house executioner. There have been wild horses in west Texas and New Mexico ever since animals escaped from the camps of Cortez and DeSota fin the 18th Century. Little disturbed by

Knights Of Columbus, at Cleveland Convention, Discuss This Problem in Mexico

Cleveland. Aug. 2: R-The religious question in Mexico was one of the most important problems before today's business sessions of the convention of the Knights of Columbus as a result of the annual report by Supreme Knight Martin H. Carmody. Carmody protested against unfortunate and distressing circumstances of Catholics general ly in Mexico
 In the hope of obtaining a change of attitude in Mexico to- ward the Catholic church, Carmody suggested that the United States government be asked to bring moral pressure and influence" to bear upon its southern neighbor.
 An investigation of treatment of members of the order and Cath olics in general in Mexico has been un- der way by directors of the Knights of Columbus for the least year, Mir. Carmody revealed
 MT. Carmody said that while the government would not be asked to intervene south of the Rio Grande, pressure could be brought to bear that would force in Mexico . change of policy or ostracize her from recognition and association by the family of nations.'

TOKYO STANDING
 FIRM FOR TREATY
Says "UneQud Pact'' Must
 Stand Until 1886

Picking, Aug. ?? uP)-The Jap anese government has taken the lead in declaring clearly and firmly to the Chinese Nationalist government it's attitude on the revision Of treaties.
 Japan. according to an official statement by the Japanese Lega- ,ion in Peking, takes the stand that the Japanese ''unequal' treaty with China continue until October, 19S6, unless Japan herself is willing to negotiate new treaty. At the same time, the Legation indicated that Japan will not object to treaty revision if the Nationalists assume a reasonable attitude.
 Considerable excitement va s aroused in the Legations in Peking by the Ranking governments an- nouncement that treaties which had already expired were considered abrogated, and that steps would be taken at once to revise those not vet expired. It had heen commonly supposed that the Japanese treaty was listed among those already ex- pired. But the Japanese Legation has wasted no time in stating that the Japanese government does not take this view.
 The Japanese viewpoint. as out lined to this correspondent by the Legation here, is that the Japanese treaty with China automatically was renewed until October, 1886, when the former Picking govern ment did not effect revision within the six-month period stipulated by the treaty.
 The Japanese treaty, it was pointed out, differs from all others in that it possesses clause, Num- ber Twenty-six, which reads as fol- lows; If no demand for revision he made on either side and no re- vision be effected within six months after the end of the first 10 years then the treaty and tariffs, in theif present form, shall remain in force 10 ten years more.'
 The clause 'and no revision be effected" is not included in the treaties other powers have with China. The Japanese Legation takes the view that this clause may be interpreted to mean that the Japanese treaty was automatically renewed on April 21. 1927, sl> months after the ten-year period expired.
