Mexico City, Sept 27. Study of

prominence several sections of the
address which were overshadowed
at first. .
One o? the longest sections was
contributed by the Department jf
Commerce and Industry, which has
charge of petroleum and -mining
matters.
Lengthy reference is made to the
differences of opinion existing be

A new banking law providing for
a bank of issue and materially
changing the entire financial sys
tem will soon be submitted to con
gress, according to the message.
According to a statement pre
pared by the Department of the
Treasury, . the government in the
past 10 months has received reve
nues totaling 135,301,000 pesos and
it is estimated that total revenues
for the year will aggregate 162,000,

nin, months of the. year indicate a
gain over a similar "period last year
of more than 18,000,000 pesos.
Enemies of Order.
"The campaign against the ene
mies of order has continued with
success," says a portion of the mes
sage dealing with the Department
of War, "and assurance can be giv
en that only a few unimportant
groups of bandits are operating in
some states of the republic. They
are constantly being hunted and
beaten by federal forces and their
auxiliaries."
.Members of congress showed
most interest in that part of the
message dealing with the relations
with the United States. When the
president alluded to Mexico's will
ingness to join the league of nations
aid her determination not to recog

and deputies applauded loudly.

YANKEE DEAD TO
REST FOREVER IN
FLANDERS' FIELDS
Many American Martyrs Are
Buried So Hastily it Is
Impossible to Re
move Them.
By NEWTON C. PARKE.
International New Serrfco Correspondent,
Formerly with the America Arm la
Franco.
; Paris, Sept. 27. Many of the
bodies of our soldiers dead in France
can never be returned , to rest in
their native soil. It is even doubtful
if relatives and friends of hundreds
of those who made the supre'me sac
rifice over here would want' their re
mains disturbed if they knew the
circumstances under which they
were buried.
It is a delicate subject that the
army authorities have only hinted
at in their desire to save bereaved
mothers and fathers unnecessary
pain. To put it as gently as possible,
many bodies were buried in such
haste during the hottest fighting
that they are in no condition to be
moved.
U. S. Losses Small.
Fortunately our army suffered
less in this respect than did the
forces of any other nation, not only
because we. were engaged in heavy
fighting for only a comparatively
brief period, but because we were
constantly advancing . while suffer
ing heavy losses. 1
In Flanders, where the British
fought in bogs and the battles raged
fiercely with firsj one side and then
the other advancing, thousands of
dead lay between the opposing lines,
where it was impossible to reach
them and give them proper burial
for weeks, even months. In the
Champagne and on the Verdun
front, where hundreds of thousands
of France's poilus gave their lives,
the same situation prevailed. But
in the heavy fighting at Chateau
Thierry and to a lesser extent in the
Argonne the Americans were push
ing steadily aliead'and a very large
percentage of our dead were quickly
reached and given proper burial.
Had No Coffins.
There were times, however, when
bodies had to be quickly disposed
of in order that the health of the
army might not suffer. Frequently
coffins were not at hand; they
could not be brought up under ene
my fire without endangering the
lives of many more Americans, nor
could the corpses be taken to the
rear for the same reason. Little
burial parties gathered quickly in
the darkness, often with German
shells screaming overhead, a chap
lain read a brief service and the
dead were laid awav a men;;,-,,-
ly as possible! the spots being mark-
ea Dy ine wooaen crosses and iden
tifying records forwarded to the
grave registration service.
Six Lfe By Wall.
In the garden of one villa in the
city of Chateau-Thierry the bodies
of six Americans lie in the shade of
a rose-covered wall. They were
killed in sharp fighting in. the out
skirts of the city. Their remains
were recovered when the Germans
evacuated the town and were laid
away in their blankets a few hours
later. One came fromAtlanta, one
from Milwaukee and the identifying
crosses on the others showed they
were farmer Boys from counties in
Ohio and Illinois. In many in
stances of this kind the tide of battle
swept swiftly by, the bodies were
taken from the earth and placed in
sof fins and later removed to the
American military cemeteries now
dotting the fields of France. How
nany could not be moved it is hard
to estimate. ,

Lincoln fjity Council
Preparing for Pershing
Lincoln,' Nebll Sept. 27. City of
ficials and members of various civic
organizations are busy with plans
to give a fitting reception to Gen.
John J. Pershing when-he comes
for a visit to this city.
The date of the general's visit
is as yet indefinite, but it is ex
pected that he will arrive here
sometime during the early part of
October, There are several rea
sons for his visit here. First, Lin
coln is the home of his 10-year-old
son, Warren, and of the general's
sisters, Miss May Pershing, and
Mrs. D. M. Butler, witrf whom
young Pershing makes his home.
And in the second place Lincoln
was at one time the home of the
general himself. f
It was here that General Persh
ing received an important promotion
in his military career, when as com
mandant of the University of Ne
braska cadets, he was promoted
from second to first lieutenant.
That was back in the early 90's.
but a number of his old acquaint
ances of those days are still here,
and are looking forward to a chance
of again meeting the man who led
America's forces to victory in the

Ennis, Jreland, Sept. 27. Inhabi
tants of this! troubled country are
jusf beginning to realize that dis
turbances such as killing policemen,
cattle driving, and so on, are likely
to prove costly to the entire com
munity. '
This week claims amounting to
more than $160,000 were made
against the Clare county council for
compensation arising out of the re
cent disturbances. The relatives of
Sergeant Riordan and Constable
Murphy, who lost their lives in the
recent attack on the police hut near
hnnistymon, seek $25,000 for each
life. That a dead policeman should
be valued at such a figure has come
as an astonishing disclosure to the
community.
Constables Want Damages,
Constables and civilians who have
been fired at have also filed claims
ranging from $1,299 to $21,650. The
commissioners of public works and
the inspector general of the Royal
Irish constabulary also demand sub
stantial sums for damages to huts
and barracks and the loss of am
munition. The hearing of these ap
plications; will take plaqe at the tn
nis quarter sessions next month, and
even if a small part of them is grant
ed, it will mean a substantial increase
in the rates. This, will bring home
to every ratepayer in the country
the financial aspect of the outrages.
The prosperity of Clare, however,
is one of the paradoxes of this reign
of terror and martial law. The sum
mer resorts, like Kilkee, Lahinch
and Lisdoonvarna, have never had
a season like the present, and never
has money been spent so freely. In
one of the hotels at Kilkee the crush
was so great and help so short that
a sign was posted in each room
asking guests to make their own
beds. They could leave the place
if they were above this domestic
duty, because there were plenty of
people willing to take their places.
1 i Solid for Sinn Fein.
The whole country is amazingly
solid for Sinn Fein. The order and
conservative element denounces the
occurrences, but no one will de
nounce the perpetrators. So far
there has not been a single arrest
in connection with any of the shoot
ings. Participants have been wound
ed and have disappeared without
trace, althpugh in cases the military
and police have arrived on the scene
to find handkerchiefs still wet with
know the perpetrators, but no one
will give the slightest information.
"We have no desire to be the chief
figures at inquests," one is told.
A remarkable distinction between
this and all other Irish movements
is that there has not been a traitor.
The police quote George Bernard
Shaw "that the Irish have a posi
tive genius for treachery," and are
living in the hope that this dispo
sition will soon display itself. It
seems to be the consensus of opin
ion that, so far as the Sinn Fein is
concerned, there is a secret society
within a secret society, and that the
actual direction and commission of
raids is in the hands of a small and
carefully i chosen group. Another
feature is that the absolute secrecy
in the higher circles of Sinn Fein is
largely due to teetotalism. Let a
Sinn Feiner be known to take a
drink, and no matter what his pre
eminence he is debarred from the
inner tabernacles of the order.
, t Police Astonished.
The military authorities and po
lice are frankly "astonished at the
superb intelligence system the Sinn
Feiners possess. A military patrol
leaves Ennis, and the world 'travels
like magic throughout the area.
Others besides Sinn Feiners un
doubtedly commit outrages. It is
unquestionably them when a police-
Freight Cars Tumble to

Springfield, 111., Sept. 27. Six
huge freight 'cars tumbled over the
Chicago & Alton viaduk here at
Tanitnl avenue and ThirtHtstreet, a
half block from the state ho e. They
were being drawn in a lon.treight
train when broken brake beans sud
denly gave way and caused wjpm to
crash through guard rails o the
viaduct to the street below, narrowly
missing a street car, automobile nd
pedestrians who were passing atfhe
time. Considerable damage was dtyie
to nearby property, but no one uras
injured. It took wreckers an entire
day to clear the debris, f -
man is shot or a police hut raided.
It may or may not be them if a
house fs fired at. ' This is an admir
able opportunity that has been taken
advantage of to settle numerous pri
vate feuds. I have been told of sev
eral cases where the Sinn Feiners
were charged with outrages, 'but as
a matter of fact it was the adjust
ment of personal grudges..
