CHARGES OIL*COMPANIES
WITH SUPPPLYING REBELS
MEXICO CITY, Jan. 20 (by mail).—
General Caesar Lopez de Lara, com
mander of military operations in the
oil regions, has notified the war de
partment that he has received news
that 10,000,000 cartridges have been
shipped from New York for the use
of the rebels in the Tampico district.
Charges frequently have been made,
notably by Luis Cabrera, that foreign
oil companies are keeping alive the
rebellious movement in the petroleum
district and supply the rebels with
arms and ammunition.
BAVARIAN GOVERNMENT
IS AFTER PROFITEERS
MUNICH, Jan. 10 (Correspondence
of the Associated Press).—In the
midst of its bitter fight with war
profiteers and those who sell food
through forbidden channels, the Ba
varian government has found itself
seriously hampered by imperial
amesties, particularly by one Issued
in Berlin on December 3. This amnesty
was so far-reaching and compre
hensive that it freed virtually every
one who had been locxed up for any
thing short of a capital crime. It was
an amnesty for all crimes against
military law, the punishment for
which did not exceed a certain num
ber of years of incarceration.
The ministry of justice is now mak
ing every effort to have enacted a new
set of raws, particularly aimed at
profiteering and the unjust division
and distribution of foodstuffs, which
shall'not be affected by any amnesties
•that may be issued in the future.
As the situation now stands it will
take little short of the death penalty
that was proposed for profiteers re
cently to put a stop to the practice,
as long as the Berlin politicians, regu
larly and systematically annul with
their amnesties the most conscien
tious work of the courts.

CARIBOU HERDS ARRIVE
IN TIME FOR CELEBRATION
Thousands of caribou have been
crossing the hills and vales of the
Twelve-Mile district, north of Dawson,
for many days, according to reports
of travelers just returned from there
to Dawson. The flume of the Twelve
Mile power house proved too much
for the animals to cross the valley
of the same name, so they marched
in single file across a high trestle and
struck northerly along the main
branch of the Twelve-Mile.
As the big trek occurred on Nov. 11,
residents of that district celebrated
the signing of the armistice by bag
ging enough caribou to fill their
caches all winter.
