Expecting Intervention,
Many Persons Prepare
To Flee from Mexico

Vera Cruz, Nov. 9.-Seores of persons
are arriving here daily from interior
points, and all are preparing to leave
Mexico, in anticipation of Intervention.
These arrivals report general conditions
in the republic to be worse than at any
time in the last five years, and all hope
for pacification under the present regime
has been abandoned.
The inhabitants of Vera Cruz have be-
come accustomed to the presence of the
American battleships in the harbor, and
the feeling .of antagonism has been
changed to one of almost friendship. The
better element here feel that the only
way out of the chaotic condition is i'm
mediate action by the United States. 1t
also is felt that the presence OF the
American vessels is protecting Mexico
from possible conquest by a foreign ma
ton.
1t also is claimed that the present stand
taken by the United States has caused the
powers at Mexico City to continue their
dilatory tactics, because they feel that
the United States will not tolerate inter-
vention.
The merchants here have refused to
accept bank bills in exchange for silver,
and considerable trouble has resulted.
The police interfered today. when the

toward the policy of raising the embargo.
1t Is said that the President and his ad-
visers are worried over the situation that
might arise in Mexico City in the event
Of Huerta yielding to the demands of the
United States and eliminating himself
from the situation. With the government
in its present chaotic condition there, or
with no government at all 1t is feared
that a condition of absolute anarchy
might ensue.
The information contained in un-
Official dispatches from Mexico City
that Huerta had received a supply OF
money from British sources sdficient
to run ihe government for thirty days
was not surprising to officials here. 1t
was learned that United States officials
for some time have had suspicious that
Huerta was receiving funds from Britt
ish interests which have large con-
cessions in Mexico.
Another significant development to-
day was the departure Of H. Perez Ro-
nero. the Carranza representative in
Washington, for Nogales, Arizona. 1t
is believed he has gone to the border
to get into touch with CarranZa, with
a view to giving this government fur
ther information in regard to the con-
leader and his forces.

GLASS ATTACKS SENATOR
REED IN STATEMENT ON
CURRENCY BILL HISTORY

Administration leaders are disposed to
be Fesentful in their criticisms of a state
ment made public yesterday by Repre-
| sentative Carter Glass, of Virginia, chair
man of the Hoilse Committee on Banking
and Currency.
Mr.. Glass takes occasion to assail Sen
ator Reed, of Missouri. at a time when
the administration had succeeded in a
measure in persuading Mr.. Reed, who
has opposed the administration banking
and currency bill in the Senate committee
to return to the party reservation. Ad-
ministration officials feel that 1t was un-
fortunate that Mr.. Glass should decide to
continue a controversy that might tend to
still further complicate a situation that
already threatens considerable delay in
action on the Glass-owen banking bill.
The present cause of trouble between
Mr. Glass and Senator Reed, who have
been at odds over the currency question
for months, was a letter by Mr. Reed to
the people of Missouri" in which he
charged in effect that the Glass-Owen
bill had its origin in Wall Street, and
that il was absolutely in the teeth of
Democratic policies and presidents"
Some of Mr.. Reeds assertions are
SO amazingly untrue d to make It
difficult to account for them on any
hypothesis in the least degree to his

statement. II prefer to believe that

facts"
Senator Reeds comment on the cur
rency bill purports to be a plain and
unvarnished statement of facts" said
Representative Glass. From begin
ming to end IL Is a misstatement of
facts. either directly or by Implication"
Denying that the bill was prepared by
persons in Wall Street, Mr.. Glass said:
TT might be retorted that the Missouri
Senator should not make a convenience
of his Wall Street antipathies, applying

GERMANY HAS EYES
ON SOUTH AMERICA
Sending of Dreadnoughts Part Of
Movement to Strengthen Influence,

action of sending two dreadnaughts TO
South America, today states the new
important and concerted movement is in
tended to strengthen German influence
and prestige in Argentine, Brazil. and
Chile, where German residents are about
to organize large colonization and other
schemes.
The paper severely criticizes President
Wilson's position on the Mexican situa-
ton as visionary and most dangerous. -
1t says:
"Such a farce is not uncommon in his
tory. But it has been found that other
nations must always pay the costs of
such comedy in the form of loss of
property, and frequently lives. The de-
stroying of property, however, is not the
only loss. International confidence is
also being destroyed under the present
situation"
