D. C, Aug. 28.
VV Advices reaching Washington
through official channels indicate
that the recent activities of Luis Ca
brera, secretary of the treasury of
Mexico, and Scblafflno, head of the
petroleum bureau of the department
of Industry, commerce and labor, have
been for the purpose of bringing back
into line the Mexican congress and
members of the Supreme court, who.
It is Indicated, are somewhat out of
step with the Carranza regime. This
was the interpretation of events by
state department officials when they
learned that the advice to the Su
preme court by Cabrera was of an
official character.
Cabrera urged the Supreme court
not to hasten the hearing of the Am-
paro cases brought before the court
by the American oil companies. The
eases are aimed directly at the presi
dential decrees which the United
States and foreign governments re
gard as an effort of confiscation of
foreign owned properties.
It is now apparent, according
to advices from Mexico City, that
there la a definite effort In eon

Mexico City. Mex Aug. 28. Ths

Greeks, while the Turks retook Ad
rianople. Plan Wont Avert Balkan War.
Now it is essential to recall this
circumstance because the argument
raised, mainly by American repre
sentatives, that the Bulgars must
have part of Thrace, is based on the
assumption unless thia is assigned
to them there will be another
Balkan war. Yet when Bulgaria
had. wtth the consent of the Serbs
and the T3 reeks and the farced as
sent of the Turks, not. merely -he
territory now in question, but much
more, when she had the raro Aegean
ports of Dedeagatrh and Kavala. only
the former of which is now under
debate, she nevertheless precipitated
a Balkan war.
Further than this, when at Bucha
rest, despite her unprovoked attack
noon Greece, she was still permitted
to retain Dedeagatch. she again at
tacked Servia and Invaded Greece,
this time favored by the treachery
of certain Greek garrisons. AS'ia
she was defeated, but net until she
had once more been guilty of innu
merable atrocities which were aimed
at exterminating the Greek pecula
tion in Thrace.
It win be seen, therefore, that
there is absolutely no foundation
to the nrgument that to give
Bulgaria Dedeagatrh and a atrip
of territory permitting direct nc
cess to the Aegean will preclude
n nether Balkan vrar.
When she had Dedeagatch anl
Kavala into the bargain she attacked
her neighbors; when she was still
permitted to hold Dedeagatch. she
made a second attack. What Bul
garia seeks is all of Macedonia and
Salonlca: it was, to acquire these
that ahe has fought three wars, with
Turkey In 191Z. with Greece and Ser
bia in MIX, and finally as a Ger
man ally In tho recent world war.
It is now nroposed to give Greece
much of the contested territory, but
to cut Greek territory in half by a
neutral strip descending the west
bank of the Maritza to Dedeagatch.

Jealousy Landed Gold
Tooth for Shah of Persia
Beauties; 3 for Himself
Toledo. Ohio, Aug. 28. Trials of
a tootapuller in a harem were de
scribed here by Dr. A. S. Hunger
ford of Teheran, Persia, who visited
Toledo on his way back to the
Pacific coast.
Fourteen years aa the royal den
tist for his majesty, the shah of
Persia, who has a nifty harem tn
his palace, has convinced the den
tist that life with a surplus o!
beautiful spouses does not have all
the traditional Joys.
One of the doctor's first duties tn
the shah's palace was to pull a
tooth for a member of the harem
When the dentist finished her
beauty had been enhanced bv a
brilliantly flashing fold bicuspid.
Such Jealousy did this addition to
the beauty strike In the hearts of
the hartm that forthwith they all
went salaaming and sobbing to the
shah, charging his 'majesty with
partiality. His majesty got out of
the difficulty by ordering a gold
tooth for each of them, but to even
matters up ordered three United
States molars for himself.
