By EDWARD W. PICKARD EVOLT flared op in Mexico last week, the anti-re-electioniste In many parts of the country taking arms against the government, which supports Obregon for the presidency Parts of the garrisons of Mexico City and Torreon and troops in the state of Vera Cruz mutinied under the lead- ership of many of their officers, and there were uprisings in other towns. Gen. Arnulfo Gomez, one of Obregon’s rivals for the presidency, was at the head of the entire movement, and Gen. Francisco Serrano, the other opposi- tion candidate, was declared to be in full sympathy with the revolt. The mutineers from the capital were soon defeated by loyal troops and Serrano, with a dozen of his aids, was either captured in Cuernavaca or seized in Mexico City and taken there secretly. The prisoners were immediately tried by court martial and shot, and the same fate was meted out to many oth- er officers who were caught. Gomez, however, for a time eluded the Calles troops and at this writing is reported at the head of a consider- able force and marching to attack the city of Vera Cruz. He had been joined by Gen. Hector Almada, leader of the Mexico City mutineers. Federal troops were advancing on a part of the rebel forces at Perote, and the strong Vera Cruz garrison, commanded by Gen. Jesus Aguirre, was reported ready to meet the attack of Gomez. The pros. pects at this time are that Gomez will be defeated, and if _he l|# captured it is almost certain tht he will be exe- cuted. President Calles is apparently so strongly supported that there is small chance for the success of a re- bellion. The greater part of the army i loyal to him, as is the navy, and the Mexican Federation of Labor [8 pledged to support. him. This attempted revolt has at least cleared the presidential situation in Mexico, for since Obregon is support- ed by President Calles and his only two rivals are now eliminated, the election of the former president seems an absolute certainty. Immediately after the start of the uprising 25 dep- uties who opposed Obregon were ex- pelied by the congress. RANK O. LOWDEN re#eived at his Sinissippl farm several thousand central Illinoisans who urged him to announce his candidacy for the Re- publican nomination, supporting the plea already made by delegations from Nebraska, Jowa and other states, Mr. Lowden entertained his guests handsomely but the most they could get from him concerning his candidacy was a reiteration of his previous statement, namely: “I know of no man in all our history who has run away from the Presidency, and no one who appreciates the solemn responsibility of that high office will run after the Presidency.” Mayor Thompson of Chicago has let it be known that if Lowden enters the preferential primaries in Illinois, he will present himself as a candidate, and his friends said If he did this he would capture large numbers of Southern delegates in the national convention. An immediate result of the Thompson announcement was the almost complete elimination of Chi cago from the list of cities seeking the convention. San Francisco and Cleveland now seem to be In the lead, with Minneapolis and Detroit still in the running. The Republican nation al committee will decide on the lo- cation December 6, according to Chairman Butler, That gentleman and other members of the committee were the guests of President Coolidge at a breakfast and obtained the ime pression that he was sincere in his determindtion not to accept renomina- tion. Conferences of the leaders in Washington brought out the opinion that ver would run better than Hughes in the West and South, though the latter would have the bet. ter chance to défeat Smith In New York. Frederick I. Thompson, and the publisher of five newspapers, in an interview in New York, said the Republicans could break the solid South by nominating Hoover, providing the Democrats name Al Smith. The campaign for Smith has been actively opened in several Western states, notably Kan- sas and South Dakota. Democrat Alabama ABINET members, high army and navy officers and hundreds of oth- er persons, gathered at the Aberdeen proving grounds, near Washington, Thursday, and witnessed demonstra. tions of the newest things in weapons and automotive equipment, the most elaborate display of the kind since the World war. Tanks, tractors, bombs, smoke curtains, anti-aircraft guns, machine guns, field artillery, weapons and rifles were exhibited aqd tested. Many of the models shown have been avallable for time but lack of funds has prevented their adoption. It is hoped this condition will soon be remedied, Ordnance officers state that In the field of artillery new weapons have been produced which are far superior to the old in range, accuracy, and breadth of the field of fire. In some cases, notably that of the newly per fected T5-millimeter pack howitzer, ordnance experts say the new weapon is so far superior to the ones It was built to replace that there is virtual ly no comparison. Another example disclosed was that of the new Amer jean 7o-millimeter gun, which, ord- nance experts say, has a range almost twice as great as the famous French T5-millimeter gun used during the war. The newest anti-aircraft gun auto matically sights its target. It is con- trolled by a instrument which detects the position of a mov- ing airplane by sound waves At night a huge searchlight throws its beam directly upon the airplane si multaneously with the discharge of the gun. gome sensitive RANCE'S tariff increases continue to be the subject of official notes, semi-official statements and unofficial arguments and protests, and a settie- ment of the controversy Is not In sight. Meanwhile our Treasury de- partment announces the assessment of countervailing duties on certain French products, as a direct result of the higher French tariff rates. The action was mandatory under six paragraphs of the Fordney tariff act, which makes provision for coun- tervailing duties. Under these para- graphs the articles affected bear specified rates of duty or are on the free list subject to a proviso that if any nation imposes a higher duty, im- ports of the particular commodity from that nation shall be subject to that rate. The same action has been taken in the case of a few German products. i ESPITE the rigid censorship im. posed by the Peking government, the correspondents in China have gent over enough information to prove that Peking 1s in grave danger of eap- ture by the armies of Shansi prov ince, which are allied with the south- ern Nationalists and are led by Yen Hsi-shan, military governor, Yen took Kalgan and the Manchurians withdrew before his advance, plan. ning to make a stand at the Great Wall or at the Nankow pass about forty-five miles northeast of Peking. Marshal Chang sent his aviation and heavy artillery units from Peking to Tientsin and it was thought he might be preparing to evacuate the capital. The situation eansed considerable concern in Washington and London. Dispatches from Tokyo sald the Jap- anese government was seriously con- sidering ‘the sending of troops from Manchuria to Peking and Tientsin if matters in China grew worse, OSCOW ignored two friendly notifications from Paris that the Soviet ambassador, Rakovsky, was persona non grata, so the French gov- ernment last week formally demand. ed his recall, This step was forced by the violent press campaign against the continued presence of Rakoveky, Russin had made efforts to smooth over the situation by Increasing its offers of debt settlement, but without avail, R. V. N. POLOVESA, a woman, Soviet representative of the Rus sian Iled Cross in London since 1921, was expelled from England by or- der of the home office, She is the first woman to be denied the privl leges of the country since the raid on the Russian Trading company’s head- quarters by Scotland Yard men in search of propaganda. HIRTY persons, who were said to he members of a Communist lob- by, were detected trying to “bore from within” at the annual convention of the American Federation of Labor in Los Angeles. One of them, Sid Bush, was arrested and booked on suspicion of criminal syndicalism, The police said Bush had in his pocket a letter from William Z. Foster, the Communist party of America, In- structing him to obtain the Introduce tion of certain resolutions in the con vention and naming the with whom he was to work.

Mrs. Remus sustained goeveral wounds and died in a hos pital.

The pigs gained 1.21 pounds daily, consumed 385.7 pounds of feed per hundred pounds of gain, at a cost of $5.87, The pigs consumed 13.6 pounds of alfalfa meal for each 100 pounds gain, Another lot of pigs had the same feeds except that alfalfa hay fcd In racks was substituted for the alfalfa meal. These pigs gained 1.32 pounds daily, consumed 396.2 pounds of feed for each 100 pounds gain at a cost of £5.88 per hundred pounds.
