S. Flag Off California Coast. By the Associated Press, SAN ANTONIO, Tex., July 11.—Con- tentions upon which Mexico may base her claims to a number of islands just off the coast of California in the Pacific ocean, which are now occupied by Americans and are under the control of the United States, are summed up in a report made to President Ohregon by Gen. Amado Aguirre, subsecretary of - | agriculture and chief of the commission n-nklng a study of the islands, accord- to an account in Excelsior, pub- ue ed in Mexico Clty. The report de- clares that the claim of Mexico to the Islands is indisputable, but that the Mexican government is willing for the islands to remain under the American flag In return fof foreign credit, the amount of which was not stipalated. Included in the group of islands Santa Catalina, of which William Wri ley, Jr., of Chicago, {8 the sole owner. Others are the Farallones, San Miguel, Santa Rosa, Banta Veracruz, Anacapa, Santa Barbara, Sl.n Nicols and San Clemente. Substance of Report. The arguments of Gen. Aguirre in favor of Mexico's clalms to the islands, as published in Excelsior, are: “The United States are not occupying them by right of discovery. because they |were discovered in the sixteenth century |by the Spaniard navigator, Cabrillo, who gave them tne names which they now bear. “They are not occupied by right of purchase, as Mexico has never sold them to any person or nation. “‘They are not occupied by right of conquest, for they were never con- quered. “They are mot occupled by right of territorial jurisdiction, because the in- ternational code of the United States sets the principle that the territorial Jurisdiction of a nation cannot extend farther than a league from shore, and the islands in question are at a greater distance from the shore of the United States. “The International code of the United States rejects the right of conquest by stating that not all territory conquered belongs to the conqueror, but only that part assigned by definite stipulations of duly authorized treatles.” Spanish Queen’s Decree Quoted. Further proof of the claim of Mexico to the islands is cited in the decree of the Queen of Spain in 1836, declaring that in the future all possessions of the Kingdom of New Spain belonged to the republic of Mexico, a sovereign nation. For many year# Mexico actually exer- cised control over the islands, it is as- serted. In substantiation of the assertion thi Mexico exercised. dominion —over ' he Islands, it is pointed out that a decree was issued June 20, 1838, authorizing the governor of California to make grants of any part of the fslands to Mexicans according to the stipulations of the law of August 18, 1324, and that the titles to parts of the islands granted to Castillero and Carriol in 1839 and 1841 were nullified by later deree of President Santa Anna in November, 1853, by President Alvarez in July, o, 'TUESDAY, JULY 12, 1921 HERO WHO SAVED LOST BATTALION FOUND LYING UNKNOWN IN MORGUE “Jack Munson, thirty-one years old, boatman. Died July 9, in Bel- vue Hospital of tuberculosis.” This, the epitapk of a hero, was written on a tag in the New York city morgue yestorday. The tag was_ attached to a slab on which rested the body of Jack Munson, who, October 6, 1918, carried a message through a bullet-swept section of the Argonne forest—a message which later saved what is_now known as “The Lost Bat- talion.” After his return from France, Munson returned to his old job as a stevedore and boatman on the East Side waterfront. June 14, sick and - weary, - his strength taken away by the disease which brought his death, Munson went to the Bellevue Hospital. He was put in dled without ever telling the nurses who he was or what he had done. In s little bare room in a cheap lodging house on Park Row, his possessions were found. They con- sisted of one suit of ragged cloth- ing and the framed citations from the British and French govern- ments he had received for his acts of herolsm. They were soiled from much handling. Munson died Friday. He was to have been buried in an unknown grave in potler- fleld, but yester- day one of tevedore friends hurd of his delth. He telephoned Capt. Groves C. Graham, post adju- tant at Governors Island, and notified him of Munson's death. Arrangements are now under ‘way to have a military funeral for Munson and a place of honor among his dead comrades who lie at Arlington. a ward for tubercular patients. He A e STRANGE CRAFT AGAIN APPEARS AT SEA AND ACTS SUSPICIOUSLY By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 12—An un- known ship, which was violating international maritime regulations by running without proper lights and which refused to respond to signals asking her identity, was sighted l1ast week 750 miles south- easterly from Halifax by the Brit- ish steamship Croxteth Hall, which has arrived from Hull and Ant- werp. According to a report made by Capt. Spence of the Croxteth Hall to Sanderson & Sons, agents, the ship, apparently a small freighter, was first observed ahead of him, showing a stern light. The Crox- teth Hall caught up with the ves- sel, which suddenly swerved in her course and then came right at the British vessel. The stranger passed astern, went around and came up again on the opposite side. The rea and green running lights cating the port and starboard ot the ship were not lighted, Capt. Spence reported, and as soon as the Croxteth Hall came up the single stern light disappeared. Re- %ea efforts to signal the stranger Py flashlight ocode and by wireless brought no answer. vensel, after running with the Croxtet Hall a short time, turned away d_disappeared. *"When m stranger was sighted is first thought was t ‘I;le one of the ice patrol failure to answer sig- nals and lbseflnmm o{m”;ululon disproved this “‘:{‘;:nu ?7( the line, while admit- 1854, and by President Comfort, March | E= 10, 1857. 1t is stated by Excelsior that Presi- dent Obregon may Include the matter in Gen.

LONDON, July 11.—Danfel O'Cal- laghan, lord mayor of Cork, is re- ported by the Central News to have arrived in Cork today from the United States. Counsel for Daniel O'Callaghan in the United States announced June 18 that the lord mayor had arrived safe- ly in Ireland. Immigration officials at Washington declared they had no official knowledge of his departure and, in the belief of Assistant Secre- tary Henning, he did not leave in “a regular manner.” O’Callaghan came to the United States early in January, as & stow- awap, and, under a ruling of the De- partment of Labor, had untfl June 6 to ship as & seaman for the return voyage.
