DEFEND MEXICO
IN U.S. BARED
One Paper Advocates Spend
ing Million Pesos to Subsi
dize
American Journals
and Writers.
Washington, July 5. Reported
attempts by the Mexican govern
ment 'to purchase the support of
American newspapers for spreading
Mexican oraoaKanda. in connection
with a recent defense of Mexicarrl
. policy towards American oil opera
tor issued by flen. Candido Ag-ui-lan
son-in-law of President Carran
' a, have been called to the attention
' of the State department. The situ
ation is being watched by officials
here. The Monterey, Mexico, organ
of the Carranza administration, first
to call public attention to it, said
in' discussing the advisability of a
propaganda campaign in the United
States:
Call It Grave Question.
"Our chancellory-should know-all
.the details -of this .grave question ;
should sound all opinions and di
Wct an active press campaign in the
' Tinted States; this last is of the ut
most importance. Not 1,000 or 100,
000, but 1,000.000'pesos, if it is nec
essary, should be spent in purcnas-
Mng Yankee newspapers (there, are
those who will not reiuse tne Dull
ness) so that they will defend us
and in subsidizing writers of some
prestige who will translate the ar
guments which our chancellory will
give them. It is necessary to pre
pare in the- very bosom of the
United States a great part of public
opinion in our favor, taking advan
tage, in' ordjer" to do this, of the po
litical divions between democrats
and republicans."
Enforce Mexican Law.
General Aguilar, just before he
sailed for Europe, .said that "the
only order issued has been that the
Mexicap law be enforced."
- It was pointed out here that Gen
eral Aguilar must have referred to
article 27 of the Mexican constitu
tion and the decrees of President
Carranza to make effective that law.
In official circles it was said this
law declared:
"In the nation is vested legal
ownership of petroleum," and "only
Mexicans bv birth or naturalization
have the right to acquire ownership
in lauds, or to obtain franchises vto
develop mineral fuels in the repub
lic oi Mexico."

Tries to Enlist because of -'
Popularity With the Girls
v "
Columbus Man SaysWomen Fairly Surround HinfSince
Father Made Him Present of $55,000; Would
"Join Cavalry to Keep From Being "'Vamped?
Men who are enlisting at the local
army recruiting station in response
to the call to the colors for the new
pea.ee time army are actuated by a
wide variety of motives, not only
in their decision .to enlist,' but, also
in tne selection of tbat .particular
part of the world and the service in
which they desire to serve. - -
Fred,Hijlford of Columbus, Neb.,
for instance, chose to go to the
Mexican border that he might serve
in the cavalry, because he is a lovr
of horses.
Hillford drove up to the local re
cruiting station yesterday afternoon
in a fkw and resplendent high
powered touring car.. He announc
ed his intention of "enlisting, and
during his physical examination ex
plained his reason.
A week ago his father had given
him $55,000. he said. The burden
of so much money, which he did not
know what to do with, was one
reason for his enlisting.
He was single, 34 years old, but
had never been so very popular with
the women in his hoipe town until
a week ago, he" said, when he re
reived the fortune from his father.
Nowhe was fairly surrounded with
girls, he said, who practiced all their
charms in an, endeavor to win his
heart.
The fear of being vamped was an
other reason for his enlisting, he
told recruitings officers, and as he
possessed nice brown eyes', wavy
hair, and even teeth and $55,000, the
officers were Inclined to believe he
might be telling the truth.
He, had once been a breeder of
racing horses, he loved horses, and
if" he could get into the cavalry, get
his money safeiyinvested and be
free from women, all would be well,
he declared. v
A slight physical defect made it
necessary for him to return, to Col
umbus for treatment by the family
physician, before he could enlist, but
he promised to be back shortly and
join the colors.
Diligemt recruitmg officers are
praying'that the charms of the fair
Colifmbus maidens will not prove
too alluring.
