Euwer spoke for 8 minutes. and 35 seconds, reviewing a great mass of historical data which referred directly to his subject. He may have lacked just a little animation in the delivery of his oration, but his subject matter was well in hand and his speech was well constructed.

Interfering with the impoit of a national com- modity is hitting at the very vitals of our existence. One thing must be said in favor of our Coast Guard. They didn't sink it til after it unloaded, thereby giving the owners a chance to pay for the ship. Some predict trouble with England over it.

Escobar, commander-in- chief of the rebel army, should not have revolted,” Williams said. Williams declared that just after he left the restaurant, rebel soldiers took him to the Juarez jail and beat him on the back with a blackjack. He said that before administering the beating, the soldiers who held him told him that “other men had been shot for saying less about the revolution.” Other American prisoners in the jail were brought from their cells to witness the beating, according to Willlams.
