JIEXICO CITY Mexico Oct. 30.
"yV'ays of. paying Mexico's national dbbt
are being laboriously worked out by
President Adolfo de la Huerta and his"
"Cabinet. ?t: has 'been decided that the
first step; necessary to re-establish
Mexico' creint abroad is tocarry out
economies" which" will convince the
world of Mexico's serious determina-
tion to-meet its obligations.
The decision to retire 30000 soldiers'
now "enlisted in' the' regular army is
only one of numerous economies de
elded upon by President de la Hderta
but' ft is the most daring one when it
is remembered that the revolution is
only a.ffew months old and thatthe
defeated faction is still actively con
spiring The plan is to put the 30000
soldiers on half pay for the present
in the expectation' that most of them
If not all of .them will soon .find regu-
lar civilian work and cease to draw
the half pay. Efforts will be made-to
put all ojE these men in as good posi
tious as can be found .for them.
The halfrpay idea fs to keep them
from drifting into mischievous hands
during (he period In. which ;th'ey adjust
themselves to civil life. "Without the
halt pay there is no 'telling what tlie
soldiers inlght do. If confronted with a
period iof idleness and need

many of the Mexican soldiers are

pf idleness who may not accept with
cordiality "the prospect of the hard
work called for in civIX life after tiieiv
days of sloth In the army.
There are now Itt the Mexican Army

The many reforms brought about by
iPresident de Ja Huerta ara theme of
constant discussion here and there are
many varying interpretations of his
purpose.
One element is disposed to think
.that he is an altruist who is ready to
sacrifice.. himself in tha service of hid
people.. These credit him" with possess-
ing even greater confidence in the Mex-
ican masses than" Francisco Madero
and say that as his health is bad and
he could not long endure the wear and

PARIS; OcU 27. The. Harvard re
construction "unit which came to
prance in July has completed . its
work in the devastated regions and
many of' its members have returned
to America. Considerable work was
accomplished by the organization
which consisted of 25 persons. The.
American architects- planned an en-
tirely new town to' take the place of
Boureuilles and a new site has been
selected. This plan was drawn up by
Hale Walker of Carthagena O. George
Lee of Boston and Prentiss French
of Williamstowri Mass. The new town
plan has received the enthusiastic
approval of the mayor.
A number of the members of the.
mission who were:. living at . Cher-
mont-en-Argonne close to the point
where America made its most success-
ful effort in the war completed a new
survey and map of that village. Ths
work was done by Nathaniel Knpwles
of Philadelphia Joseph". Hayner of
Cleveland. Rupert Giddings of " New
York and Thomas Wilder of Cincinna
ti.
While engineers were making th6
survey six members of the 'unit In-
cluding Richard Sias of Coronoa
Cal. and Frederick Blaine of Elyria
O. traced property maps of the dis-
inci wnicn survivea irom tne war.
Two schools have been designated
and measurements of the church of
Saint Jacques at Rheim have" been
compiled.. This latter work was done
under the direction of Isadore Rich-
mond of Boston and Myron Dassett
of Minneapolis. At Somme-Py -Hale
Walker co-operated with the town
architect in niaking changes in the
town j)lan itself while Merrltt Far-
ren and Leon Keach both of "Boston
completed drawings and plans for a
new town school. Other members
completed a survey for a new" water
supply system and sanitation plan.
Jhc non-technical members of the
unit were engaged for two months in
construction and painting of' dwell-
ings in various parts of the devastat-
ed area.

MOSCOW Oct. 29 England by
oreaKing ore negotiations with Leo
KameneAV the former Russian trade
commissioner in London has lost an
opportunity to play the leading role
m world politics says Karl Radek
radical .leader.
"The political sceptre has fallen
from the hands of Lbyd Gcoree. from
the h'ands of England he asserts in
an article in the Isyestia.
"Trade negotiations with soviet Itus-
sja would have represented for Eug-
land a victory over French 'and Amer
ican imperallsm over French imper-
ialism because French creditors would
have" "been obliged to. allow the cold
which the Frenchcapitalists consider
their property to pass Into English
coffers over American imperialism
because theVErigllsh government "would
receive supplies and raw materials not
under the control of American monop-
olies.
"To realize this victory it was nec-
essary to establish political peace with
Soviet Russia.
"The breaking off of diplomatic
negotiations means that the political
Initiative passes into the hands of
France which Is openly supporting
Wrangel" Radek continued. "Simul-
taneously the republican party of the
United. States and its presidential can-
didate Harding have declared in
favor of the recognition of Soviet
Russia- demonstrating that American
capital intends to put England in. the
second place.by beginning trnde rela
tions with. Russia and cutting off
England only non-American source
oE oil supply."
Radek concludes the article by say
lng that the action of the British gov-
ernment was induced not so much by
the defeats of the red army by the
victories of the communist idea" in
London .and Warsaw. ''The English
government has concluded that we
uro too strong to be further strength'
ehed toy official recognition and diplo-
matic pourparlers-jind It in too weak
to tolerate In London political repre
sentatives of Soviet Russia" he add
ed.
