that the interests of her subjects will

William Tyrrell on President Wilson
was for the purpose of further Impress

necessity of protecting that oil. At

the Mexican capital that such move
had been directed, and, it is said, he
expressed concern over the possibility
of a general anti-American, If not anti
foreign, outbreak the moment the
United States marines landed.
Admiral Fletcher Is expected to reach
Tampico, his first stop, about the time
of the arrival of the British cruiser,
when, it Is supposed, he will confer
with the English commander and the
American. consul. AS q result of these
conferences 1t Is likely that strong
representations will be sent to both the
properties and the lives of any
foreigners who might still be in the
vicinity.
Shifting from the scene of these del
velopments, the eyes of official Wash
ington are also turned on developments
at the border town Of Juarez. where.
since early yesterday, the largest body
of men ever engaged in battle on MexfI
can soil since the American Mexican
war of 1SiS. have been fighting.
Anticipating an attempt on the part
of either the federals or the rebels to
get protection by crossing to the Ameri-
can side, orders have been issued to the
United States border forces to repel
any attempt of the kind. 1t Is feared
that a clash might result between the
United States troopers and the Mexi-
cans.

The greatest number of men that has

since lS4S participated when the engage

$500. and it is estimated the federals
have $500.
From the outset the fighting was des-

wounded federals and rebels. In some
places, the troops were so close that
they fought with dubbed rifles. hand

Shortly after midnight came word
that General SalaZar, with 1000 fed

POTATO JOINS LIST
OF COSTLY FOODS

10000 bushels a week are coming to
New York. Philadelphia and Baltimore
from these countries.
Should the quarantine against wart
and powdery scab be extended, as is
not only possible but probable, these
impOrtationS will be cut.
Importers say that unless these po-
tatoes come in. supplemented by others
from Britain, the cost of potatoes will
be almost prohibitive to the masses.
The embargo was ordered in August,
1912. Though importers say that their
potatoes are consumed and not used
for seed. the Department of Agricul-
ture declares that 10000 bushels i'm
ported before the embargo was put on
were used for seed potatoes last year,
endangering the American crop.
Another factor in the situation is be-
lieved to be the attitude of certain al
legged spectators in Maine potatoes. In
spite of the abnormally short crop in
the country at large, the potato grow
ers of Maine had the biggest crop in
years.
That taken in connection with the
embargo offered fine field for the
food gambler, and many big specula-
tors, il is said, have taken advantage of
it. They have invested heavily in the
Maine potatoes and are expecting to
realize handsome profits between De-
cember and May /.
sale men declare potatoes will sell

Uptown prices will be few cents

This is what you might call a high

morning. The weather is to blame.
While we get many of our turkeys for
Thanksgiving and Christmas from local
people. the weather has been so warfi
for tie past week that persons a hun
dred miles away have hesitated to senl
dressed turkeys in. Those sent in alive
are not numerous enough to meet the
demand, and the result is supply not
over-plentiful, and high prices. If II

of it. The result would have been q
low market. but the weather man dipnt
play his cards that way.
Thousands of live turkeys. pigeons,
chickens, ducks and geese have arrived
at the Central Market in crates IN the
last two days. One continuous round
of comment on the sights of the Cap
