MEXICO There aeems to be a decided change In the relationship of the Mexican people toward the t'nlted States, And It Is decidedly for the better. The new Mexican minister to Italy, In celebrating his arrival at Rome, issued a statement In high praise of the United States. "The nightmare of Imperialism has van ished slo.e the United States en tered this war," he said. "Our re lations with our great northern neighbor following our recent crisis, it now most cordial. The United States Is fighting for the liberties of all people and for the respecting of the rights of small nations, and that is our fight. This broadens the Jlonroe Doctrine and established for all time the relationship between the great Ameian repnbllc and Iatln America." This is Indicative of the new Mex ican feeling. It enunciates a policy which the Mexican congress has suit ported when it passed a resolution announcing that "Mexico, doing hon or to her history, her Ideals of pro gress, must be with the nations that fight for Justli e, for civilization, for liberty, which is Mexico's cause." There is said to be a strong desire Among the Mexicans to go as fan as complete break with Germany. General Obregon, formerly Presi dent Carranza's ablest subordinate, now retired to private life In New York, corroborated this view in an Interview given to the press a few days ago. He asserted that the Mex ican people "are very friendly to the United States." The people of this country hav suffered much at the hands of In dividual Mexican bandits and gangs of outlaws. This has largely been due to an inability of the central government to maintain a stable In ternal condition. There was instilled into the minds of the simple Mexl cans for years a hatred of America and recent German propaganda went far' to help it along. It is a happy day that the Mexicans have realized their mis take. And they will find this coun try willing to overlook and forget the past, providing only that proper guarantees are made for a peaceful industrious tutuie. And especially will the United States gladly wel come her as an ally lo the great fel lowship of world democracy fight ing auainst tyranny and brute force. 1VKOY SHOOTS II' THAI: KIM8 OXK MAX Kl I'aso, Nov. 13. - One man was killed and three wounded on a west bound Texas & Pacific passenger train as it was nearing Fabens, i0 miles east of here, Sunday, when E.

MUST SECURE LICENSE WasMiiHtoo, November 14- Any person' lu the United States found ' with explosives in his possession af ter November 15, and who does not; tune a license issued by the federal government showing the purpoi for what the explosives are lo bo used, will be at one arreted, and fined up to I.VOt'O or sent to prison forj one year. If the circumstances war-, rant, the person may be fined $".0U0 and in addition given the one year in prison.'. This Is the principal clause In a war measure passed by the last con-. gress which Is now tieltig put Into effect by the bureau of mines, depart-: ment of the Interior, which bureau ' has been charged with Its enforce-! ment. Francis. S. Pcaboily. or l ni cago. a well known coal operator fa miliar with the use or explosives, large amounts of which are nsed in the' coal mining Industry, has been appointed by Secretary of the inter ior Lane to act as assistant to the director of the bureau of mines, Van H. Manning. In the enforcement of the law. Under the law, the di rector of the bureau Is empowered to utilize the services of all United States officers and all police officers of the states. Including the elty police forces, county sheriffs, deputies, eon- stables, and all officers In any way charged with police duties. The police of the cities have already been organised for this work, headed by a committee of chiefs of police in the big cities, of which Major R. W. Pullman, superintendent of police of Washington, D. C. Is chairman. The police are not only to look after the enforcement of the law, but are also to make thorough Investigations of all dynamite outrages and fires in factories and warehouses, and to make their reports to the director of the bureau of mines. Person apprehended In plots to blow up factories and bridges will be turned over to the authorities for prosecution under federal or state laws. Mont states have specially severe punishments for these crimes. New York has an extreme penalty of Z years imprisonment for the plac ing of dynamite with Intent to blow up property. The penalty provided in this federal war measure Is mere ly to cover the itlesnl possession of explosives. The law provides that everyone who handles explosives must have a license. The manufacturer, the Im porter and the exporter must have licenses Issued by the bureau of mines in Washington. The seller of explosives and the purchaser of ex plosives must also have licenses. these to be Issued generally by coun- j ty clerks, or other local officers who j are authorized to administer oaths. 1 There will be at least one licensing) officer in each county, and more ; agents will be designated if the county is sufficiently large to war rant it. If a state has laws pro viding for-a system of licensing per sons manufacturing, storing, selling or using explosives, the state offi cials authorized to issue such state licenses shall be designated as fed eral licensing agents; also city offl-.l cials qualified to issue city explo sive licenses will be given authority to Issue federal licenses. A federal license will not relieve any person from securing licenses irequlred un der state laws and local ordinances. In each state there will be appoint ed a state explosive Inspector, who will represent the bureau of mines in the administration of the law within th,e state. Only citizens of the United States or of countries friendly to the United States and the allies may so obtain licenses.
