M. Mitchell and John F. Hooper, American mining men, in the state of Jalisco and are holding them for ransom under threat of death. The bandits, said to number 150 men, also roided several towns and ranches, drove off cattle and captured several Mexican workers who later were re- lapsed. : Money Demand Made, Mitchell is understood to be the manager of the Mesguital Del Oro Mines, property of the Pacific Mining Co. in the Mesquital Del Oro Camp in the state of Zacatecas. Although Hooper has not been definitely identi- fied the American cmbassy believes that he might be of the same company. Guadalajeraa press dispatches say that the bandits demasitied 3,000 pesos (epproximately $1,500), for the re- Jease of each of the captives, while the American cmbassy has received advicks from private sources that 18- 000 pesos (approximately $9.000) has been demanded for both.

The territory | today constitutes the kingdom in {1918 of seven states, or paris of states, with differing legislation and administration — Serbia, Montene; Austria, Hungary,-Croatia, Bosnia and Bulgaria. These were heterogencou elements, not merely in respect to their | social structure and degree of civil | tion, but also religion.and writing. | _The' Serblans are Geeek Orthodox the Croats and Slovenes are Roma | Catholics, and there are numerous M { mmedans in Bosnia and Macedoni: | The Serbians have Cyrillic letters; the | Croats and Slovenes, Latin. But above all, the Serbians and Croats {come from a different culture. Until a few decades ago the Serbians be- Balkans. and the Croats belongsd, Anstro-Hungarian subjects, to Western cultural world.

The two Raditchis—the murdered nephew and the wounded uncle-—were leaders in the struggle for Croatian home rule. They fought corruption as the most dangerous means of -falsifying the real will of the people. There is also a second factor. Jugo- slavia feels itself and isolated by Italy, and this increases the tension. The Croat who dwells on the Adriatic | Coast, which he regards as menaced by Italy, and who is the nearest neigh- bor of the hated Italy, suspects the Belgrade government of betraying him. This_ explains why the announce- | ment of the Jugoslav government that it would ratify the Nettuno agreement with Italy evoked such tremendous ex- | citement in Croatia. The government | remained firm because of foreign poiit- | ical and financial reasons and the op- position grew more passionate. The shootings now have made it im- possible for the Jugoslav state to take any political action in the near future, and thus the Balkan menace, which threatens Europe's peace, greater.
