Outcome of the guerrilla offensive was not known, but it was certain that heavy fighting took place near Mentaokou, 18 miles west of Peiping. The roar of the guns could be heard in Peiping.

Forty Peruvian soldiers attacked an Ecuadorian patrol in the jungle country. Ecuador dispatched a sharp note of protest to Peru. In Quito, popular feeling against Peru ran high today and a strong protective guard was placed around the Peruvian legation. Foreign Minister C. M. Larrea appealed to the populace to remain calm. Col. Guillermo Freille, Ecuadorian Minister of War, said that the clash took place near the Ecuadorian garrison at Rocafuerte, southeast of here in the ‘Oriente, over which the dispute between the two countries has been fought and argued since 1563. The Oriente is a vast, roadless tangle of forests, inhabited largely by savages, “spreading eastward from the Andes Mountains toward the interior. Representatives of the two nations now are in Washington attempting to negotiate a settlement.

U. S.-British Oil Rivalry Seen |
Back of Cardenas Coup
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Times Foreign Editor
WASHINGTON, June 3.—Mexico's seizure of oil, according to a lurid story from abroad, merely marked the end of a long and dangerous struggle between the United States and Great Britain for domination in Central America-—which struggle the United States has now won. “Henceforth,” says a bulletin from the “Service d’Archives” at Geneva, Switzerland, “the United States are the undisputed masters in every domain in Mexico. The last English rampart is shaken to its foundations. The bridge to South America is open.” “The United States,” it goes on, have seized the only possibility of beating England. in Mexico, without firing a single shot.’ Today, as yesterday, they receive their oil from Mexico, with the difference that it is bought from the Mexican Gov-
revolt in 30 years broke out!”
Madero, who suceeeded Diaz, was a “friend” of the United States. Huerta, who shot Madero, was a “friend” of Britain. Carranza was installed by the United States in place of the ousted Huerta. As “he governed neither for the U. S. nor for England, further small revolutions were staged under the direction of Villa.” Carranza “endowed Mexico with a Constitution which provided, even then, for the nationalization of the oil companies. This constitution is said to have cost him his life.” He was assassinated and “Gen. Obregon was placed in power by the U. 8S.” He was succeeded by Calles, who gave some trouble, “but in May,
of the situation.” It was President Cardenas, however, the bulletin intimates, who finally helped the United States to throw the British out. Apparently it was all very simple. Just when the unsuspecting British were most jubilant over controlling 60 per cent of Mexico's oil against America’s 40 per cent, it happened. Gen. Cardenas seized all. While London raised a storm over the expropriations, Washington took it with such remarkable calm that President Cardenas felt moved to express Mexico's “loyalty and gratitude.”

HENDAYE, French-Spanish Frontier, June 3 (U, P.).—Strong Loyalist reinforcements from Madrid, using the same guerrilla tactics which resulted in a Rebel-Italian rout at Guadalajara 15 months ago, virtually halted Gen. Francisco Franco's drive to the Mediterranean below Teruel today.
The fighting on the TeruelSagunto highway was particularly bitter after Gen. Jose Miaja, the Loyalist commander-in-chief, had withdrawn troops from the defense of Madrid into the Castellon zone, The greater portion of the Loyalist forces, including new contingents known as ‘“Maija’s nephews,” were concentrated in strong defense

Generally it was Anglo-American rivalry. More than one, Europe seems to have been convinced war would break out. For while the United States has used money as its chief weapon, Britcin still believes in arms, tire bulletin says. Britain is said to have tried to outsmart the United States in Colombia and Costa Rica, on both sides of the Panama Canal, which is as important to this country as Suez to England. But she failed. The same game was reportedly played in Nicaragua, Honduras, Salvador and elsewhere, with much the same result. Presidents were made and unmade. Governments were set up and knocked down all in the day’s work, It was in Mexico that things finally came to a head. The struggle began in earnest in 1810 when profitable oil wells were first re-
