PROHIBITION FANATICS
MAY CREATE TROUBLE

ment is endeavoring to stop the exten
sion of the Anti-Saloon League’s pro
hibition campaign in Europe, fearing
that it might affect international rela
tions.

JAPS MAKING
SURVEYSFOR
MEXICAN OIL
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 23 (by mail).
—The department of industry and
commerce denies emphatically that
Japanese interests have acquired any
petroleum holdings in Mexico, but
says parties of Japanese geologists
have visited the republic recently on
a tour of exploration and have located
oil deposits on the Pacific coast.
The departmental denial came as
the result of stories emanating from
the United States that Japanese cap
italists were negotiating for the trans
fer of large petroleum holdings in the
Tampico district.
El Monitor recently interviewed a
Japanese, R. E. Douari, who was sent
to be a member of the oriental ex
ploration party. He asserted that the
Pacific coast had been thoroughly
covered in the search for oil and that
large deposits of the latter had been
found. He also asserted that Japan
needs Mexican oil for commercial pur
poses and will attempt to acquire
that product, but it has no intention
of buying leases, developed or unde
veloped, on the Atlantic coast.
BRITISH LIQUOR TRADE
WANTS RESPECTABILITY
FOR PUBLIC HOUSES
LONDON, Aug. 21 (Correspondence
of Associated Press).—Better public
houses, an improved tone for saloons,
is the newly-announced policy of the
British liquor trade.
Rear Admiral Sir Reginald Hall, a
member of parliament, who was re
cently elected to the directorate of
one of the leading brewing companies
of the kingdom, said that representa
tives of all sections of the trade had
drawn up a bill embodying such
principles as promotion of sobriety,
restriction of drunkenness, reduction
of the number of licenses where they
are excessive, and enlargement of
premises so as to provide greater
opportunities for social amenities.
“Recreation, including reading
rooms, facilities for writing, music
and games, should be provided,” Ad
miral Hall said. “The entry into the
trade of those who would set.up and -
maintain a high social standard
should be encouraged, to the exclu
sion of those who might bring dis
credit on the industry.”
FIERCE HATRED RULES
TWO MEXICAN TOWNS
PRESIDIO, Texas, Sept. 23 (by As
sociated Press).—Bitter as the fued
between Athens and Sparta is that
which has existed for years between
Couchillo Parado and Coyame, two
Chihuahua towns that figured in the
news recently during the latest puni
tive expedition into Mexico.
The quarrel between the two com
muties arose many years ago over
the question of boundaries. At first
there was bloodshed: now there is
merely smouldering hatred, which is j
kept alive largely because Chuchillo)
Parado favors Villa and Coyame is
strongly federal in its sympathies.
“Chuchillo Parado is a city of
widows and orphans,” said Cesme
Bengoechea, Mexican consul at Pre- ;
sidio, commenting upon the strong ill- |
feeling that prevails between the two j
places. “So many men have been
slain in battle that there are few
males of fighting age left.
“The present official name of the
town is ‘Twenty-fifth of March,’ in
commemoration of a battle fought
there between the Mexicans and the
French on that date in the year 1862.
The name of the town was changed by
the Mexican government because
‘Chuchillo Parado’—‘upright knife’—
had an unpleasant ring to it. The
natives of the place, however, con
tinue to use the descriptive name,
which originates from the peculiar
sharpness of the mountain ridges in
the region.”
