WARSAW, Septembef 21.— Gen, Joseph Haller, commander-in-chief of the Polish armies, who is sailing from Havre September 29 for the United States, says he has no political mi: sion, but is going to America to e press gratitude to Americans and Poles for help and co-operation given to the Polish republic.

Augustin Cebreco, a vice president of the association, was invited to headquarters of the secret police, he said, but on arriving there was in- formed that he was not wanted. Maria Blanca Aloma, who writes poetry and who has been one of the orators of the association, was the only woman taken into custody. When the half dozen who answered the summons left the courtroom they paused long enough for newspaper pictures to be taken, and before they dispersed they shouted “viva Garcia- Velez.” A squad of mounted police rode back and forth, keeping the street open for traffic as the constantly growing crowds dispersed from the courthouse and wandered.in groups up the Prado, but\ there was no dis- order. .

Business Leader Says Better Relations Forecast Great Trade Boom. BY JOHN EDWIN NEVIN. There is no, longer a Mexican prob- lem. This was the word brought to administration officials today by Mat- thew G. Collins of New York. He gave it as the result of personal ob- servation of the manner in which the Mexican people of all classes have accepted recoguition by the United States of the Obregon government, and the combined ratification by the two countries of the Warren-Payne arbitration agreements. Although recognition is less than a month old, officiale here were told trade relations have wonderfully improved, while there is a complete disappearance of {the distrust and lack of confidence that was so apparent’in the past. Collins, who is president of the In- terstate Oilf mpiny, and one of the leaders of the independent oil group who are anxious that’ Congress, when it reconvenes, take steps to compel government supervision of the oil in- dustry, is also a very intimate friend of President Obregon. He is here to give administration: officials a fir hand report of conditions in Mexico, Incidentally he threw a new light on the Obregon ambitions. The president told me, L 1 Col- lins, “that the wants of his family and himself e small, and that he had no ambitions to amass a great fortune. ‘What I want egon said { to me, ‘is that all Mexicans are afford- vork at living s and given the best character of schools for their children.

STAR, WASHINGTON, them." ™ Distrust Removed. Collins declared that the unanimity with which ‘the United States aided Japan in the recent disaster has &lim- inated all suggestions of future war between these two countries, and said the latest manifestations of good faith between Washington and Mex- ico City have had a similar eflec'l on the relations between the two North American republics. This feeling also has refloved much of the distrust be- tween the United States and Latin America, he explained, because there was a féeling there that Mexico was being unfairly discriminated agdinst. “Americgn capital has a great op- portunity in Mexico-today,” said Ca\i; lins. No other country affords such an opportunity for hustlers of the true American type as does Mexico. Lots of our troubles in the past were caused by the class of Americans who went there to grab everything in sight, and then hurried home with the spoils. With perfect agreement between the two countries this class will be missing. Financial Rivalry. “There already is rivalry hetween American and European capital for preference in Mexico, but it is cer- tain that this country has the h|lvlhil advantage and will maintain it. Now if Americans will see that !.he old- tithe revolutionary type, which held forth in the past just south of the Rio Grande, is refused money and munitions when its mebbers want to start a volution everything will be all righ Incidentallq this latter ype has almost entirely passed away ce the Obregon administration me into power. “The fact that Mexico suffered little loss during the world war and that its buying power great means much to the United ates.

By Cable to Tinv Star and Chieago Daily New: KOBE, September 21.—A psycholog- fcal reaction is just setting in after the terrible experience which the many foreign refugees here went through in their race with death from the devas- tated districts, During and Immediately following the catastrophe the expression of human emotions seemingly was Im- possible, and the mental numbness produced by the sudden blow and tragedy was apparent in the faclal expressions of those who had gone through the ordeal. Those who gave vent to their emrotions eithem were unfortunates crazed with grief or else were cursed with a lack of fortitude. Many incidents are related where unknown “vellow streaks” suddenly appeared when persons were con- fronted with the possibility of death from burning, crushing, starvation or thirst. Men snatched food ana water destined for women and children and some few even tried to cla rescue boats ahead of the persons, however, were fow ia.; FRIDAY.- SEPTEMBER 21, 1923. the opportunity to get it is afforded MANY HEROES AND FEW COWARDS SEEN IN EARTHQUAKE HORROR “were dealt with ruthlessly by thost possessing true traits of manhood. instances -of bravery and courage and unsurpassed self-sacrifice far outnumbered and offset such cases of human weakness. There could be told innumerable incidents of lives risked umselfishly for otners. One such instance of heroism oc- curred in®he Yokohama United Club, which collapsed under the first few shocks. The inmates started rushing for the doors. One man, who could easily have been the first to escape, stood just Inside the doorway and pushed others to safety until slowly collapsing walls that he knew were tottering over him caught him, final- Iy crushing him to death that he had courageously faced. His identity is unknown. ’ Persons outside the stricken’area also deserve highest commendation for their bravery and self sacrifice. Capt. D. H. James of Kobe traversed the mountains at the head of a party of coolies, rescuing foreigners wher- ever he could find them. Returning to Kobe with one group of refugees, he immediately left on a eecond rescue expedition, walking many, many miles over perilous mountain passes in his work of rescue. Tmmediately upon hearing of the dis: other group of twenty 19 ——— e Kobe men boarded the steamer West Orowa, reaching Yokohoma before the last destructive quakes had subsided. They unquestionably were responsible for saving many lives. Among the foreign'refugees now in Kobe, the nervous effects of the sav- age shocks are stlll unspent. Many still jump at the slightest recurrent shock. They watch the walls of buildings fearfully as they pass in the ‘streets, and they are constantly | looking out for and noting ways and means of escape in the event of new temblors, The first reaction of many upon mingling with sympathetic friends s to recall continuously their experiences—not through any ego- tistical desire to thrill others, but through necessity of relieving their long pent-up emotions through hours of silent trial. Women who displayed the most ~ admirable fortitude throughout the disaster suddenly and frequently, this long after, burst into' tears of hysteria now that they re- alize courageous stifling of their emo- tions is unnecessary. Months, and in- some cases years, must elapse before the nerves of many will become readjusted to the daily small temblors which before the disaster passed unnoticed. Many, of course, never will be the same again mentally, although physically they came through unscathed. —_— irst chap—Is Jones married?
