INSURRECTION IS FEARED -FIRST, SECOND AND ALDER STREETS- DAY DAY I'ormUsion of Federal Government Required to Drill Wells or T)o Development Work. TTASHIXOTON'. March IJ. Officials of the .state department have beeun a study of the order of the department of industry at Mexico City threatening to punish foreign companies and indi viduals for drilling wells or doing pe troleum development work without per mission of the federal government, it was learned authoritatively today. The order, which was made public by the state department yesterday, reopens the Mexican oil situation, which was believed to have been left to the Mexi can courts and the extra session of the Mexican congress to decide without further action either by the oil men or the Mexican government. British and French oil companies, as well as Amer ican, are interested in the recent de velopments. Ambassador Fletcher, who has been In Washington for some months aiding acting Secretary of State Polk during the absence of Secretary Lansing- in , Paris, conferred tffday with represen tatives of the American oil companies, and a statement of the oil companies' position was laid before him. Traokle Datea Bark 1915. The feature of the dll trouble in volved in the circular order issued in Mexico Citv last Saturday is said to date back to January. 1915. when Car ranxa was first chief and was beset with enemies on every side. At that time he decreed that all development work ehould stop immediately and that no new work should be undertaken without permission. Representatives of the British. French and American oil companies protested against this order, but were assured by Carranza Kovern- ment officials and the diplomatic rep resentattve of the United States in Vera Crux that the sole purpose of this" decree was to exercise the proper po lice power of the state and to prevent unsafe drilling and building operations.

X- t . : T.:: It.- V -o'r-i if . i ; of In -1S17. when the new Constitution I - was nut into effect, the Mexican gov ernment began to refuse permits for such work, according to authoritative information. An American company was refused a permit for such work in ue cembcr. 11. alleging it was a for eign corporation and as such, had no ni;ht to receive a concession to Uf-veioD oil. This was the first open attempt by the Mexican govern rnent to establish the government own ership of ail mineral deposits as de fined in the new constitution. On the company's protest that this ruling abridged its legal rights, the Mexican government granted a provisional per mit to complete the operations in ques tion. Deerer Declared Confiscatory. Subsequent decrees were announced, each intending to put into effect arti cle 57 of the Mexican constitution, which the governments of tJreat Britain France and the United States have de clared "confiscatory. Since August 12 118. permits have been refused to companies which have not filed "man ifestations' or entered into contracts with the Mexican government. The terms of such contracts have not yet been defined. As a result, drilling operation.-, building of pipelines and other development has been stopped. The iinint made by the three govern ments Interested has been consistently tiat the companies did not need per mils to operate, because they had cuircd their lands in good faith by purchase or lease in accordance with the existing laws of Mexico.

A com mission consisting of three naval offie cers, a mining engineer and a geologist, will be sent to Alaska to plan the de velopment of the Matanuska coal field, the navy department announced today.

The committee announced that Appeals Sent to Men on Point Demobilization to Return and Save Their Comrades. LONDO.V, March 23. (By the Associ ated Press.) Defending the military service bill in the house of commons today, Winston spencer Churchill, sec retary for war, declared that the whole of Egypt was in virtual state of insur rection. The position was so danger ous, he added, that the government had to appeal to men on the point of de mobilizing to return and save their comrades from being murdered. This declaration by the war secretary was brought about by the remarks of Sir Donald MacLean, who said that Great Britain was grossly overinsured with respect to the strength of the army. Situation Held Serious. Mr. Churchill asked if he followed what was taking place in almost every country at the present time and, if so, how could he say that there was ovef- insurance in keeping 900,000 men fdr every purpose. Including ten divisions on the Rhine and four divisions in the home country, less than the number kept here in the peaceful days before the war. Only three days ago, continued the secretary, a situation developed in Egypt which was of very far-reaching danger and which made it necessary to appeal to the men who were collected at various ports for demobilization to go back and help their comrades and save them from being murdered.. Insurrection Is Feared. The whole of Egypt was virtually in a state of insurrection. Had Sir Donald read of what was taking place on the Black sea, in Hun gary and on the whole frontier of those small states which were guaranteed protection by the league of nations? Sir Donald had said, continued the sec retary, tflfct the German army was to be reduced to 100.000 men and that the Germans were to have no boy scouts. That, the speaker asserted, was what the allies were going to demand. But had the Germans agreed to it? "Was there any chance of their agreeing to t, if the allies divested themselves of all their forces at the present time? Sacrifices Are Recalled. "The government," said the secre tary, "have to face the real facts. If we squandered our forces at present time before our terms are secured, with European conditions of increasing grav ity and perplexity, then we would throw away with both hands all the re sults gained by the sacrifice of mil lions of our men during four years." The liberal opposition had proposed a series of amendments to the military service .which Mr. Churchill declared were intended to wreck the bill. There was no truth in the accusation that the government had not tried the vol untary system. The government had tried and would try every means tin der tne voluntary system. Voluntary Army Proposed. Objection was taken to men being invited to re-enlist for as long as two, three and four years. But unless men were secured for those periods it would be impossible to relieve territorial and other troops in India and elsewhere who ought to have effective relief. He thoroughly agreed that the gov ernment must do everything jmssiMe to recreate a voluntary army at the earliest possible moment.

LANE PLANT TO OPERATE Acute diseases, such as influenza and pneumonia, itlmn.-t invariably leave the Mem in a badly debilitated condition, the blood thin, the nerves weak and the Uicotion disordered.

Ordinary tonics seem to have little value In cor rectinc this debility and the victim js in danger of becoming a chronic in alid.

Hotel men had an indignation meet ing yesterday over the attitude of a couple of plain-clothes policemen toward Glenn Hite, manager of the Washington hotel. Saturday night two plain-clothes men entered the hotel and said they thought there was a couple in the house who had no marriage license. The clerk requested them to see the man ager and objected to their browsing around the rooms without a search warrant, and for this the policemen ar rested the clerk for 'interfering with an officer. When the case was tried in the municipal court the clerk was discharged. Monday, shortly after the clerk's re lease, the two plain-clothes men re turned and arrested Manager Hite on a charge bf falsifying his register. The alleged falsification consisted in his failure to note the time of the arriva of patrons, a law which the hotel men say practically none of them were ac quainted with. Manager Hite reported that he was bundled into the patrol wagon and refused permission to ride to the police station in his own con veyance. and he was taken away with out having time to get someone to re main at the desk while he was gone. The rooms the plain-clothes men de manded searching were occupied, one by a professor of the Oregon Agricul tural college, who was alone, and the other by a Canadian and his wife. Po liceman Morgan, one of the two plain clothes men, according to Mr. Hite, made the statement that he could tell whether a couple were married by the handwriting on the register. Mr. Hite pleaded guilty to a charge of failing to put down on the hotel register the time when the couple had rented the-foom, and Municipal Judge Rossman continued the case indefi nitely without imposing a sentence.
