Mexico has sent out for publica
tion in newspapers throughout the
■ ■ountry a map and statement show
ing that 5hi Americans have been
billed in Mexico sinci November
20, l:»10.
Of this number, the association
-fates, 428 were civilians and 123
-oldiers or sailors. Otic hundred
and sixty-seven Americans were slain

gimes, while 383 have lost their
lives since Carranza took control
of the Mexican government, accord
ins; to the statement.
In the list accompanying the map

date, place and manner of death and
the source of information concern
ing the individual ease are given.
Tht manner of death ranges from
“killed by stray bullet" to wanton
murder, and includes instances of
alleged torture and mutilation.
The association stives as the
sources of its information in pre
Scaring this map and statement three
lists of Americans killed in Mexico
or along the border, prepared by the
state department; casually lists of
the war department; a list of Am
ericans killed in Mexico, prepared
hy Thomas E. Gibbon, author of
“Mexica Under Carranxa”; informa

lii summing up, the association
says: “ ‘Bandits' were responsible
for 188 of the murders listed on
the map, according to the authorities
cited. Officials, officers, soldiers or
followers of Carranza are charged
with 76 of the murders, according
to the map. Villa arid his band
killed 81 of the Americans listed.
Huertistas account Cor 41, Maderis
Uis for 111, and Zapatistas for five.
Miscellaneous outlaws, listed by the

glers.’ and similar marauders, were
responsible for 70 murders, and 28
Americans were killed by bullets
which crossed the border. Yaqui
and Mayo Indians killed 18 Ameri

PARl§.—(’hine.se students of both
sexes arc* expected to come to
France at the rate of 5,000 to 0,000
a year during the next two years.
!This influx is ascribed to the fact
that the Chinese are no longer at
tracted by German universities or
Japanese colleges, owing to the war
land the Chinese national feeling i
'over the Shantung affair. Another j
I reason for their choice of France I
'is that the United States imposes!
'restrictions upon Chinese immi
grants.
This affords France an unique
opportunity to chape the careers of
those destined to be the nucleus of
industrial and intellectual China of i
! tomorrow. French transportation!
j companies are offering the Chinese
cheap rates of transportation ‘oj
jbring them to France.
; About 1,000 young Chinese are '
| already in Fra rice studying the mod
jern scientific methods of industry,
| finance, commerce, and agriculture, j
American sympathizers, including
Madame llugues Le Roux, Mrs. Her
man Duryea, and Mrs. William As-J
; tor Chanter, have provided a tent j
|as an organization center for the
I new arrivals.
i These Chinese have vowed to live
I cleanly and frugally and to abstain
from gambling and opium smoking.
! Two 18-year-old girls are pioneers
of their sex among the students.
• They arrived recently claid in tailor
made gowns. Scores more Chinese
igirls are expected to follow.

'CLEVER SCHEMES
10 PILFER BONDS
WASHINGTON, I). C.—New and
clever schemes for inducing the in
vesting public to part with its sav
ings, its Liberty bonds and War
Savings Stamps in exchange for
worthless stocks or those of specu
lative or doubtful value constantly
are being developed. One of the
latest of these was disclosed recent
ly in the trial of Ellsworth T.
Green and his son, E. H. Green, of
Oklahoma City.
This particular scheme was th"
means of landing the Greens in
Leavenworth prison for five-year
terms, but not until many hundreds
of investors had lost their savings.
The Greens, through the Great
Western Guarantee Investment com
pany of Oklahoma City, promoted
five oil companies. The original
sale price of the stock in these com
panics was $1 n share, but by a
clever resale agreement, purchasers
were guaranteed that the Great
Western company as fiscal agent
would resell the stock if desired at
the end of six months to net the
investor $2 a share, or a profit of j
100 percent.
As the date to fulfill this agree i
ment drew near, stockholders were J
advised that the price of the stock j
had reached So a share. Naturally ■
if they came to believe the stock j
was worth SO they declined to ac-|
cept the opportunity to sell for $2. J
For a time stock salesmen reaped
rich commissions, but finally rumor3
that the reports were misleading be
gan to spread, and at a company
banquet at Oklahoma City, it was
charged, the Greens attempted to
sell out to the salesmen. At this
point the Government stepped in,
arrested the promoters and began
to unravel evidence which finally
landed the Greens in prison on the
charge of using the mails to de
fraud. Now the stockholders are
attempting to save what is left of
the assets of the companies.
Promises of profits of 100 to 500 1
percent from stock promoters seldom
become realities. The country' is
being flooded with wildcat stocks of
unscrupulous promoters. The resell
plan of the Greens is only' one of
the many varieties of bait used. Any
of these promoters are willing and
anxious to take Liberty bonds or
War Savings Stamps and Treasury
Savings Certificates in exchange for
their bits of paper. They are per
fectly willing to give a promise of
profits for the sure payment guar
anteed by the Federal Government.
Investments in Government saving
securities and Liberty bonds arc
safe, sure and profitable. The in
vestor is not only guaranteed against
loss, but he is assured that money
so invested will help to solve the
economic problems which all are
facing, and in making the country
greater and more prosperous, instead
of seeing his savings go to provide
luxuries and an easy living for dis
honest promoters.
DESTITUTE SAILORS ARE
SENT HOME FROM MANILA
HONOLULU, T. If.—111 and des
titute American sailors in Manila
Iare being sent back to the United
I States by the insular collector of
customs, alt American ships leaving
for the Pacific coast being compelled
[to transport a limited number of
these seamen, says the Manila Bul
letin.
Heretofore such needy sailors had
been returned to America aboard
army transports, but lately the trans
ports have been too crowded to un
dertake the work.
To prevent Manila from becoming
the dumping ground for discharged
American seamen, says the Bulletin,
requests will be made of the con
sulates at Hongkong, Shanghai, Sin
gapore and other Far Eastern ports
that they send their destitute sailors
home direct.
