WAR IS CABINETS TOPIC
President Wilson and His Advisers
Discuss Crisis in
Europe.

Today's cabinet meeting was devoted
almost entirely to discussion of the
European crisis and the relief of Amer
leans abroad.
Secretary McAdoo brought up the
subject of an international clearing
house association. in which the United
States and European nations should
hold membership, as one method by
which this country might insure the
disposition of it's wheat and cotton
crops in foreign markets. With the
banks Of the country fortified with
millions of additional currency officials
feel that the immediate problem is
how to take care of the crops
The establishment of an interna :
tional association and the resumption
OF trade. it was pointed out, would not
only result in the sale of American
crops, but would tend to bring back
to the United States much of the gold
recently exported.

FOR IMMEDIATE REPORT
Advance on Mexico City Of 10000
Constitutionalists Disturbs
U. S. Authorities.

Advance of 10000 constitutionalist
troops upon Mexico City, under orders
from Gen. Carran8a. as reported In dis
patches from Saltillo, have alarmed adj
ministration officials
With the beginning of conferences at
Saltillo for the transfer Of the power in
the federal capital, it had been under
stood that an armistice would be in force
While the opinion prevailed in some
quarters that the federal ENJOYS had
failed in their mission. and that the con-
stitutionalist chief had determined to con-
tinue the campaign against Mexico City.
the Washington officials thought that un-
likely. They said they did not believe
Carranza would ignore previous plans for
a peaceful transfer of the government in
Mexico City. because American recoEni-
ton would be withheld If the capital were
taken by fighting.
View of Constitutionalists.
Sympathizers of the constitutionalists
see in this movement Of the rebel army
an object lesson to Carbajal that Car
rama proposes to stick to his oft-repeated
declaration against granting general am
nesty, and serving of notice on the fed
eral regime that they surrender"
Jose Castellot. personal representative
here of Carbajal. Huerta's successor. had
conference with Secretary Bryan. but
the latter said he had no Information
from Carranza except that the Carbajal
delegates had arrived at constitutionalist
headquarters in Saltillo. Secretary Bryan
telegraphed American Consul John H.
Silliman for immediate information.
Constitutionalist agents today gave out
efafement nv CafranZQ which said In
part:
las to foreign residents in Mexico and
foreign interests having investments here
my attitude has been and will be one
Of genuine cordially. Any person who
has suffered damages on account Of the
revolution and files claim for such
shall have il given due consideration and
If found to be just, will be paid, as l set
forth in the decree of May q, 1913.
Same Toward All Nations.
My action in this regard will be the
same toward all nations, irrespective Of
the fact that some foreign countries have
been openly hostile toward the consti-
tutionalists.
Fortunately, the government Of the
United States, always a friend of liberty
and supporter of justice. has been in
sympathy with the righteous aims of the
revolution. and its moral support has been
of incalcuable aid to the constitution
alist cause"

was great suffering. but the children

The Germans Mr. MetZrath con
tinued. ARE enthusiastic for war. the

Sixty-Day Clause Enforced.
Senate and House Agree
to Emergency Currency Act

Administration measures to provide
cash. as well as measures of finance,
for the banks and business men of the
United States. in view of the interna-
tional situation, were practically COM
pleted today
The Senate and House agreed to the
conference report on the bill extending
the Aldrich-Vreeland emergency cur
rency act. and it will be sent to the
President at once, probably late this
afternoon. and 1t is announced at the
White House that it will be signed at
once.
At the Treasury Department it was
announced that about $75,OOOOOO has
been shipped to various cities for any
needs that may arise. but that, al
been sent to many cities. not a dollar
has yet been requested for issue bv
banks
1t was also stated at the Treasury De-
partment that no further concern is felt
by the administration in regard to the
financial condition of the United States,
The Treasury. 1t Is stated, is in position
to be OF service to any bank that may
call upon it.
International Exchange.
John Shelton Williams, controller of
the currency. said today that plans are
being considered now for the establish
ment Of an international medium of ex-
change. One Of the plans suggested is an
international clearing house. The devel-
opment of this idea is now in progress.
When the Senate agreed to the confer
ence report on the amendment to the
Aldrich-Vreeland act Senator Bristow of
Kansas criticised the conference report
because 1t permits the issue Of the emer-
gency currency to the extent of 125 per
cent Of the stock and surplus of the
banks. He also declared that he believed
the provision for gold reserve of per
cent which must be held against the Is
sue OF this emergency currency too small.
and that 1t should have been 10 per cent.
Senator Bristow disclaimed any de-
sire to delay the passage of the amend
ment as passed it will be possible to
issue about S1,125,000.00O Of emergency
currency.
Has Gone to Six Centers.
The s75,oo0,ooo emergency currency
which has been shipped to different
cities of the United States by the
Treasury has gone to New York, Bos-
ton, Chicago. Philadelphia. st. Louis
and Baltimore. 1t is all still intact at
the various centers to which 1t has
been shipped. the banks evidently not
having needed it so far. II it is found
to be needed, the money will be dis
tributed among the twenty-five ex-
listing national currency associations.
formed by national banks under pro-
visions of the Vreeland act. Any ma
tional bank desiring to share in the
benefits of the emergency circulation
may apply for membership in one of
these existing associations. obviating
the necessity and consequent delay of
forming new organizations.

nina. lying alongside the principal wharf

ing them as political offenders. Soldiers
thereupon occupied the wharf, and. point
ing artillery and machine guns at the
ship. threatened to sink her il she at
tempted to cast off.
Appeal Reaches q. S. Admiral.

Capt. Jackson. in command of the mont
tor Ozark. which was lying in the river
near the Antonina, to leave the matter
entirely in the hands of the German vice
consul. but to enter a protest If the pas
sengers were taken forcibly from the
