(By The Associated Press) A sharp conflict is being waged in the Mexican senate over the nationalization of oil lands as pro vided in the decree of President Carran za which were intended to pot into effect article 27 of the Mexican constitution. These decrees have been the object of bit ter attack by the foreign oil interests which declare that both they and article 27 of the constitution would be confisca tory. Disappointed over the inactivity of I the Chamber of Pepties which has de ! laved action on the nationalization ques 1 tion, the senate brought up as a new oil initiative based on that of the president but differing from it in the vital point that it should not be retroactive. If a dopted this law would not nationalize oil lands to which the title was perfected be fore the present constitution became operative which was vs. May 21, 1917. f Debate on this measure, however, soon became complicated as a result of at tempts to include hi It a complete re drafting of the 27th article. In the senate discussions, Luis Cabrera, Secre tary of the Treasury, and Leon Salinas, Sub-secretary of Industry and Commerce have presented the government's side in support of nationalization. Secretary Cabrera also is quoted in newspapers as asserting that the senate is only wasting time in discussing the oil question since the oil interests would not be satisfied witii the senate's deci sion. The foreign oil companies have brought suits in the Mexican courts to prevent the presidential decrees from taking effect, and these have been appealed to the su preme court. Hecretary Cabreera has op posed action of the supreme court in these cases seemingly to delay action until the executive department of the Mexican government and representatives of the oil interests can reach an understanding. What, if any, progress lias been made to ward reaching such an agreement is un known. RED CROSS WILL NOT LEAVE BALKANS ALONE. (By The Associated Press) BUCHAREST, 1U MAN1A, Sept. via Paris.

Hargis of Sail Francisco, brought with them to Broasa a supply of food, clothing and medicine. The cry of "Uneleaaf Unclean!" which met them at the gate did not deter the Americans, who introduced themselves to the aged nuns in attendance. In a few minutes began the distribution of the American supplies from a Red Cross automobile. With nothing but their eyes showing through slits in their all-enveloping gowns, the lepers watcned the proceedings at a respectful distance. Surgical dress ings, antiseptics, bandages, American canned goods, several dozen shirts, pa jamas and suits of underclothing with an assortment of shoes were spread In-fore them.
