MEXICO MAY LINE
UP WITH ALLIES
Leaders Favor Break With
Germany; Teutonic Propa
ganda is Steadily
Weakening.
(By Associated Freaa.)
El Paso, Tex., July 6. Since ihe
pro-ally campaign in Mexico was first
started by "El Universal" in Mexico
City, the sentiment favoring the allies
has reached i.orthern Mexico.
During the last thirty days a well
defined movement favoring an open
break with Germany and the align
ment of Mexico on the side of the
entente allies 1 developed. This has
been in spite of the pro-German sen
timent pit' 'is' d daily in Chihuahua
City and in papers believed to be sub
sidied by the Germans in the north.
A reflection of this . jiitiment is
se n in the strtement by General
Francisco Gonziles, actirg command-
er-m-cl f of the northeastern mill
tary zone, with headquarters at Chi
huahua. e was overcharged by the
German firm of Ketelsen & Dcg au
f r some idlocks.
The Manager y as . a and
placed in the pentitentary. Th Ger
man consul made a demand for his
release, "in the name of the imperial
G rman government and the kaiser,
acco.ding to a Mexican official, who
was present.
"Tell the German consul, he,, the
imperial government and the kaiser
may all go to hell," General Gonzales
answered.
Prominent M. -.icans, men in close
touch with the capitol, predict Mex
ico will declare war on Germany with
in thirty days. According to these
men, all Germai money in the Mexico
City, Torreon, Chihuahua City and
other banks will be seized as soon as
war is declare .he German boats in
Tampico and other ports will be
seized, thereby giving Mexico a much
needed merchant fleet, and all Ger
mans either interned or deported at
once and their properties confiscated.
The Tampico oil fields would be
'made safe for the oil supply of the al
lied fleets by dt.laring a zone in
which traffic would be restricted and
the mines, smelters and mills reop
ened at once to produce munitions
metals for the allies.
"We can do nothing in a military
way in Europe," said one of them,
"but we can make Mexico safe for the
allied nationals and for their proper
ties. We can show our sympathy with
the same cause for which we have
been fighting for the last six years
by aiding the allies in every way, even
though wc are unable to assist materi
ally in the war."
The good effect of such a declara
tion upon the relations of Mexico
and the United States, especially
along the border, is pointed out. It
would mean closer co-operation with
American officers in stopping the
wholesale traffic in ammunition, cat
tle smuggling, gun-running and all of
the other violations of the laws along
this border.
The anti-German movement is not
unopposed in the north, as the Ger
man residents of Chihuahua City, Tor
reon and other places have been
spending money lavishly entertaining
officials, army officers and influential
citizens. But with the usual German
method, they seem to have over
played their hand and brought about
a reaction by causing the naturally
suspicious Mexicans to suspect they
haffan ulterior motive in their mend
ship. '
Americans returning from Mexico
Lity say sixty days will elapse before
Mexico declares war against Ger
many. Ihey say the German sent
ment there is exaggerated and that
the great mass of Mexican citizens
are in sincere sympathy with the al
lies. They say also the part General
Obregon played in the pro-German
agitation was exaggerated, as they
claim his name was used by the Ger
mans to lend dignity to the pro-Ger
man movement. And they say, tur
tner, tne tormer war minister is a
friend of America and the allies

Remove Restraints From
Americans in Germany
Berlin (Via London). July 6. Vir
tually all restrictions and regulations
to which American citizens resident in
Germany have been subjerted are re
moved through an agreement reached
between the German foreign office and
the military and police authorities.
1 he agreements exempt Citizens of the
I nited States from reporting to the
police and from observing the hours
fixed for outdoor movements.
American citizens hereafter will be
permitted to travel about Germany
without being called upon to go
through the laborous and slow-moving
routine attached to the issuance of
travel i ermits.
The new agreement virtually places
Americans on the same footing as
neutrals, only such persons as may
be under suspicion being excluded
from the new privileges.

How the War Can Be
Won From the Skies
Tremendous plans are now being formed to deliver a crippling blow at Germany's military
efficiency, not only "putting out her eyes," but spreading havoc by aerial armadai numbered
by thousands. Vast sums are to be spent for the establishment of an American air-fleet on a
colossal scale ,and training schools for air-pilots are beginning 'to spring up like mushrooms
overnight.
During the past three years there has been in Europe not only an immense development
of the art of flying, but a specific evolution of the allied art of the aerial duello.
In THE LITERARY DIGEST for July 7th, one of the most interesting articles is a transla
tion from the French of Oscar Ribel, Chief Instructor in a French "School of Pilotage." This
article explains in much detail the tactics of air-fighting. It is illustrated by sketches which
visualize the tactics of pursuit, offense and defense.
There are many other features of unusual interest in "The Digest" this week, among which
are:
