Harding Gives
Patriotic Talk
At Brownsville
President-Elect in Armistice
Day Address in Texas De
dares U. S. Will Protect
Its Citizens Everywhere.

Brownsville, Tex., Nov, 12. Sen
ior Hardiiif,,' standing' . in sight
tn the Mexican border, -on the pa
rade ground of Fort Hrown, where
Zachary Taylor gathered his troops
tor his advance on Mexico in 1845,
took occasion in his Armistice day
address, to state that America would
, protect its citizens "wherever they
go on a lawful mission, anywhere
unne. the shining sun.
There probably was no thought in
his mind of future trouble for Ameri
cans in 'Mexico, but it is significant
that well-informed Americans on thjs
' side the river are prophesying just
now that a new revolution is foment
ing in Mexico and ' that something
may be expected to pop in a few
weeks. The movement, formed out
of the jealousies and factional di
visions in the Mexican capital, is
said to have for its object the pre
vention of the inauguration of President-elect
Obrcgon next month.
The provisional government, head
ed by dc la Hurrta, has just been
recognized by Spain, and there is
a strong effort tq have Wilson rec
ognize it.
Senator Harding has kept out of
all this. Everything that has come
( to him indicates durable peace.. But
J. -y be will not be able long to close
bis mind to this delicate international
, situation. Suatcr Albert ,15. rail
of New Mexicov an authority on
Mexican affairs, is coming here next
Sunday to join the Harding party,
iind may accompany the senator to
- New Orleans, whence he sails for
the Canal Zone November 18.
Texas and Senator Harding have
taken a great liking for each other.
The celebration today brought out
all the population of the lower Rio
Grande valley.
Big Day in Brownsville.
It was a big day in Brownsville,
the biggest by far in the history of
the town. There were reasons
aplenty. In 1he first place Browns
ville and all this part of the Lone
Star state' were bound and deter
mined todisplay the pride they feel
because a president-elect, and a re
publican at ,tliat, saw tit to stpend his
vacation in Texas, and in a part of
Texas not favored by tourists. This
pride was bound up with very real
admiration, even affection, for Mr.
and Mrs. Harding. But there was
more to it than that. The Rio Grande
valley will be made, or broken by the
developments of the next rfew years.
The whole region hangs in tnse ex
pectation of great things to come in
irrigation projects, deep water proj
ects, new railroad properts, boule.-
vard propects. Million-dollar proj
ects are in the air. ,
Since thev have Harding hre it is
perhaps only human st they should
js labor to impress him w'th the won
derful opportunities of their valley,
and suggest to him that Uncle Sam
could do a lot more fir this part of
Texas 'than he has ever done,

By The Associated rmi,
London, Nov. 12. The Irish home
rule, bill passed the Ifouse of Com'
mons on its third reading last night,
after a motion for rejection- of the
measure proposed by William C
Adamson, the opposition leader, had
been defeated by 183 to 52.
The measure passed without any
noteworthy incident in a rather tame
debate. The liberal and labor mem
bers, who have boycotted it through
most of its stages as a sign of their
conviction of its hopelessness as a
settlement of the Irish problem, were
again ausent. ine miai stage was
reached in a small and rather list
less .gathering of members of the
house.
Former Premier Asquith appealed
for advantage to be takn of the
associations and emotions aroused
by the anniversary of Armistice day,
which could not be put to worthier
use than an endeavor to find a basis
of real settlement for Ireland.
Lloyd George Replies.
Premier Lloyd George, replying,
contended that the present bill was
a generous measure, but the Irish
people were not in a temper to give
. , ,
it proper unacrsianaing ana consia
eration.
He detlared that documents to be
published at anearly date found in
the pbsession of Sinn Fein leaders in
1918, proying they were involved in
a German plot, would show the ne
cessity of England retaining com
plete control of Irish harbors,
To give Ireland the power to
raise a conscript army, he said, would
be a dangerous menace to Great
Britain and he warned the laborites
that with an army of that kind in
Ireland under full power of Irish
dominion rule, ronscription in Eng
land would become inevitable.
Against Na"y for Ireland.
The premier contended that it was
equally iraoossib'e to allow; Ireland
her own navy which was quite need
less for her national life and could
only be used for the peril of Great
Britain and her cwn destruction.
He argued that it was fruitless to
talk of granting fiscal autonomy to
people still demanding a republic.
Expressing a fervent hope for the
removal of misunderstanding which
would make the tutm'e so dark, the
premier closed with a note cf emo
tion:"' "It may be that it was an Irish
soldier we honored today. Ireland
has had a great and brilliant share
in the empire. Some of her greatest
and most gallaru warriors helped
to fight for the empire. Some of her
greatest statesmen the shining
wirdom of Burlie 'and the.stern lead
ership of Wellington all contributed
to build the empire.
.- Principles ot Bill.
The fundamental principles laid
down by the British government in
the Irish home rule bill are:
First That the people of the six
Ulster counties shall not be brought
administratively under an outside
parliament in Ireland.
Second That there shall not be
any weakening ot the provisions
which have been made by the ar
rangement for the purpose of safe'
guarding the vital interests of the
United Kingdom.
At the time of introduction of the
measure it was stated the home
rule the government intended to
give Ireland was basd primarily on
the declaration of Premier Lloyd
George in a speech last Oecember
that Great Britain cannot accept
separation."
Under the bill two legislatures
with upper and lower houses would
be set up, one tor the north ot Ire
land and the other for the south.
If less than halt the members of
either legislature are validly elected
or- fail to swear allegiance to the
king, the king may dissolve the par
liament and place the government
in the hands of a committee ap
pointed by the lord lieutenant.-
Wrangel Withdrawing

i Interest. -
Washington, Nov. 12. Declines
in prices have been world wide, ace
cording to a comparison of prioa in

made public today by the federal re
serve board.
' "The price movement during the
month of October has been of ex
ceptional interist." savs the board.
"0n the whole, while the price move
ment in the Un:ttd States has con
tinued downward, it would seem in
some foreign .countries, the tendency
toward reduction, which hasbeen
gaining ground during recent
months, has been checked "
The comparison of index figures
extends through the month of Sep
tember. For that month the board s
price index showr a decline of 3.4
per cent, while tne decline in Brit

that this exercises a special influence
in their case which is hardly to be
given the same amount pr kind of
weight in dealing with retail or
wholesale prices of manufactured
prepared goods.
"On the whole, however, the price
level has apparently approached 1 a
relatively greater degree of stability
than it had possessed during Sep
tember and to that extent indicates
a further progress toward a condi
tion of readjustment.,
"The problem of complete finan
cial readjustment now , centers
around the placing of goods and ac

in a letter made publiohere today by
the Far East Intelligence service that
no preference will be exfended to any

"I have no authority to speak for

Chicago, Nov 12. "Doctors" who

were overjoyed by the information
that restrictions have been lifted and
