RIGHTS GRANTED
UNDER LAWS
* OF MEXICO
(By Associated Press)
MRXIGO CITY, Mexico, March 2. —
Mexico's new constitution, promulgat
ed throughout the republic recently,
will give opportunity for the demon
stration of the actual working results
of rpany legislative ideas which have
not progressed beyond the theoretical
stage in many other countries.
The constitution, in general, follows
along oroad lines outlined by the first
chief, General Venustiano Carranza.o
and submitted by him for considera
tion at the opening of the constitu
tional congress at Queretaro. General
Carranza’s project in turn followed
the broad lines of the Juarez constitu
tion of 1857, changing it with the ob
ject of making it thoroughly appli
cable to modern conditions. The mak
ers of the new constitution in some
cases, however, went somewhat be
yond the chief's project in dealing
with certain phases of legislation. In
his speech to the chief when the lat
ter appeared ii the assembly to ratify
the constitution, Luis Manuel Rojas,
president of the assembly, said, in
part, that in general the assembly
had followed the fundamental ideas
set forth by Carranza as a result of
his mature experience and that if they
had gone beyond in some matters the
point he had indicated he believed
wise, it was due to the same youthful
ardor with which the delegates had
followed the flag born by Carranza
at Guadaloupe. Natural enthusiasm
after the recent struggle and desire
to destroy old abuses of the past, he
said, offered sufficient motive for de
viating from the path marked out by
the first chief, although they always
had been in thorough accord with his
sentiments for aiding the ideas and
aspirations of the Mexican people. It
was clear, he said, that the legislation
adopted must be characterised by Its
tendency to better the popular classes
which always had been oppressed cud
that if the assembly had comitted er
rors or if defects later were found for
which it was responsible, history
would absolve the delegates because
of the sincerity of their convictions,
as their sole idea had been to make
great and happy the Mexican republic
Two articles of the new constitution
deal largely with the rights of for
eigners in Mexico. • Article as, as fin
ally passed, remains the same as it
was in the Juarez constitution of 1857.
This article declares that all foreign
ers possess the rights to the individual
guarantees granted to all within the
republic, but the executive of the un
ion shall have the exclusive right to
compel to leave the national territory
immediately and without prior judg
ment, any foreigner whose presence
shall be adjudged troublesome. For
eigners may not be permitted to mix
in any manner in the political affairs
of the country.
The other articles dealing with the
rights of foreigners provide that onlj
Mexicans by birth or naturalizatlor
and Mexican companies have the rlgtv
to acquire possession of lands or wat
ers or to obtain concessions to exp'.oi
mines, water rights or combustibles
hut the state may concede the jarai
right to foreigners who appear bef-vn
the secretary of foreign relations an<
agree to be considered as Mexicans ii
respect to the title involved and agre<
not to invoke in regard to the same
the protection of their government
under penalty, if they violate this pre
mise, of losing the titles which the
have acquired, which pass to th
nation.
Foreigners may not acquire direi
possession of lands or waters wlthl
one hundred kilometers from the lan
borders of Mexico nor within fift
kilometers of the sea coast.

IRELAND SENDS

TO !0NT
(By Associated Press)
DUBLIN, March 2. — In a letter
rend at a luncheon to the officers of
the Irlsh-t’anadian Rangers on their
visit here, John Redmond quoted sta
tistics to show the large number of
Irishmen who hud enlisted In the army
outside of the Irish regiments. The
leader said:
“From Ireland itself, according to
the latest official figures, 173,772
Irishmen are serving in the navy and
army, representing all classes and
creeds among our people.
“Front careful Inquiries, made
through the churches in the north ofR
Ireland and Scotland, from the casu
alty lists and from other sources, the ;
calculation has been made on high
authority that at least 150,000 sons
of the Irish race, most of them born,
in Ireland itself, have joined the ,
colors. • r
“In Great Britain It is a pathetic)
circumstance that these men are al
most forgotten except when their
names appear In the casualty lists of
non-Irish regiments. Some of the Irish
papers have for a considerable time-'
past l>een publishing day by day spe
cial casualty lists under the heading,
"Irish Casualties in British Regi
ments.’ ”
Mr. Redmond was unable to person
ally greet the Rangers, being confined
to his home partly through illness and
the shock of his daughter’s death In
New York.
DUKE OE ITUOLl
LEAVES -DIG
ESTATE
(By Associated Press)
LONDON. March 3. — The Duke of
Atholl has just died, leaving an estate
jof 202,000 acres. In the Scottish high
lands of Perthshire. At 640 acres to
the square mile, this is over 315 square
miles, or about the size of those sec
tions in southeast Europe which de
sire to be liberated and "national
ized." It compares also with some of
the Indian reservations In the western
states, but is not as large as any of
the American states. It is not all fer
tile land, however, but is mountain
and valley with the Intervening sec
tions of farm lands, towns and villages
all maintaining the old-time feudal
loyhlty to the lord of the manor.

Vanbokenberg & Monroe, of the
Fourth of July creek fox ranch, near
Atlin, brought into that town a pair
of silver gray foxes from their ranch
valued at $500 each. They report
they have a number more of the same
variety which they are keeping for
breeding purposes.
