CARVhJAL IN FLIGHT

Provisional President Seeks
American Protection.

Mexico City, Mex, Aug. 14.-ACcOm.
panied by three members of his cabl.
net, Provisional President Caryajal
who succeeded General Huerta as eX-
ecutive Of this turbulent republic, fled
to Vera Cruz to take protection under
the United States flag.
President Carvaial was accompanied
by Jose Maria l.uian, acting minister
of gobornation: Eduardo Precial Cas-,
tillo, acting minister Of Justice, and
Antonio Escandon, acting minister OF
commerce and labor.
The final action of the cabinet was
to adopt a resolution declaring that
the provisional government headed by
Senior Carvaial was at an end. In the
meantime a special train had been
ordered and the party of officials left
the capital
The departure Of the executive left
the central government of the repUb
lie without a head. So hurriedly were
the plans of the flight made and exc
cuted that members of the families
of some of the refugees were left be
hind.
Neither the president nor any of his
acting ministers took time to write
out official designations.

Bankers Ask Governments Attitude

Bankers Ask Governments Attitude
Towards Them.
Washington, Aug. III. P. Morgan
& Co. have inquired of the state de
partment what the United States gov
ernment's attitude would be toward a
French war loan of several hundred
millions to be -fioated in this country.
1t is also understood that certain
financial houses have approached the
government with a view to ascertain
ing its attitude toward an Austrian
loan for an unnamed amount
The Morgan request was taken up
by the international law experts, who
decided that such loan would violate
no provision of the neutrality laws,
and that there was no precedent
against 1t. They pointed to the pre-.
cedent when Japan borrowed millions
in the United States during her war
with Russia, but it finally was decided
that broader question in the policy
of international relations was involv.
ed, which only could be decided by
President Wilson.
The proposal has been referred to
the White House, where it now lies.
1t is said to stand in an informal
state.

j. S, MAY BUY SHIPS, q
CONGRESS is TOLD
Purchase by Neutral is Valid
if Made in Good Faith

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-House and
senate conferees on the bill to admit
to American registry foreign-built
ships not over five years old, reached
a complete agreement.
They recommended that foreign
built vessels registered under the act
be permitted to engage in the coast
wise trade within two years from its
passage.
The amendment, as it passed the
house, was designed as an emergency
measure to relieve the congestion OF
overseas commerce owing to the
withdrawal of the great fleets OF the
nations now involved in the European
war.
This provision takes the place OF the
so-called Jones amendment. which
would have opened the trade to for
eign-built ships admitted to American
registry only between Pacific and At
lantic ports and between the gulf and
great lakes ports.
A formal decision by Solicitor John
son, of the state department, is be.
lieved to have removed any doubt over
the question as to the right to change
the register OF a ship owned by bel
ligerent in time OF war.
Requirements of international law,
he contends, demand that no transfer
of a vessel shall be made in block
AIDED port or while the ship is on tn
high seas. He declares. however, th1

French Report of Fighting.

Paris. Aug. 14.-An official report OF
the fighting between the French and
Germans in the vicinity of Pont de
Mousson, north of Nancy, says:
1.-THE fighting, which started on Aug
II, was continued on Aug. II under
thrilling conditions for the French. Ii
may be summed up as follows:
1.-THE first phase was an attack on
two French battalions by German
forces greatly superior in number The
two French battalions fell back, but
being reinforced during the night, as
sumed the offensive, well supported
by artillery.
This counter attack caused the
! Germans to retreat precipitately, leav
ing behind large number OF killed.
wounded and prisoners.
"The Germans abandoned a battery
of artillery, three machine guns and
several wagon loads of ammunition.
"She French troops followed w
their advantage and on Wednesday a
French battery surprised the Twenty
first Baden dragon regiment while the
men weer dismounted. In few min
utes ue regints nt wars destroyed.
1.-THE e1ec/ of this double success;
was Immediately perceptible. Not only
was the forward movement of the
German troops stopped, but their col
umns fell back, closely followed by
the French. In the course of this pur
suit the French found on hill and in
neighboring villages many German
soldiers who had been wounded in the
fight on Aug. II.
mine German officers and 10OC
wounded men fell into the French
hands as prisoners.
1.-THE poor quality of the projectiles
used by the German heavy artillery
was convincingly demonstrated during
the bombardment of Pont de MOusson
More than 100 shells containing enor
nous charges of explosives, weighing
altogether 220 pounds each, were rec
from a battery of twenty-one cent?
meter mortars at distance of six and
a quarter miles. The total result Of
this avalanche of iron explosives was
-four killed and twelve wounded in the
town"

WILSON ORDERS
FOOD PRICE PROBE
IhstruCis Attorney General TO
Prosecute Those Responsible.
MAY ASK new LEGISLATION
The President AssaiIs Men Who Pur-
posely Increase Rates on Necessi-



posely Increase Rates on Necessi-
ties.
= Washington, Aug. IA. - President
Wilson took his first step to prevent
the price OF foodstuffs from being in
creased unwarrantedly as the result
OF the European war.
He addressed a letter to Attorney
General McReynolds asking him to in
Westigate recent imitation in prices ana
to take up the question whether the
persons responsible are liable to pros
ecutiOn.
The attorney general replied at once
that instructions had already been
sent cut to district attorneys and spe-
cial agents of the department to IN
vestigate conditions in their localities.
He states that the department had
been investigating the price OF food
stuffs for some time. Mr.. McReynolds
suggests that the department OF COM
merce assist in the inquiry. The presl-
dent promptly gave the required IN
structions.
The presidents letter follows:
1.-THE rapid and unwarranted In
crease in the prices OF foodstuffs IN
this country upon the pretext OF the
conditions existing in Europe is so
serious and vital matter that | take
the liberty of calling your attention
to it.
81 would be very much obliged II
you would advise ME whether there is
under existing law any section which
the department of justice could take,
either by way of investigation or legal
process, and what federal legislation,
if any, would in your judgment be JUS
tifiable and warrantable in the circum-
stances.
81 feel that this is matter which
we cannot let pass by without trying
to serve the country. Certainly the
country ought to be defended, if pos
sible, against men who would take adj
vantage of such circumstances to in
crease the price of food and the diff:
culties of living"
The president took up the question
Vi increasing anu was
ed by the pressure of the situation.
He at once decided that legal action
should be taken if possible, and that
if there were no law covering the
question, new legislation should be
passed.
Officials said the president consid-
cred that in many cases the increases
were wholly unjustifiable. When he
returned from Mrs. Wilson's burial at
Rome, Ca, resolutions already had
been introduced in the house calling
on the department of commerce and
the department of justice to report
what action they were taking. Presi-
Il Wilson's interest in the situation,
however, was wholly apart from that
80 he probably would have taken ac-
before had it not been for the
in the White House.

Life of the Sun.

Adopting the well known hypothesis
of Helmholtz which attributes the
production of the heat emitted by the
sun to its contraction, an idea can be
formed of the suns duration. If one
gives to the sun a coefticient of ex-
pansion intermediate between that Of
mercury and that Of gas one arrives at
the conclusion that it has taken 1,0OO,-
900 to 100000 years for the sun to
contract to its present radius; in par
ticular, it would have taken 10000 years
to contract from infnity to a radius
twice its present radius. Finally, the
sun will take 200,O0O,O0O years to con-
tract from it's present radius to half
that radius, and even then its tempera-
ture at the surface will be 5000 de-
grees.-Scientific American.

BurnaOy's Travels In America In
1859" the following incident is related:
The captain of British man-of-war
cruising off the Massachusetts, coast
left his wife in Boston. On one OF his
visits to port she came down to the
wharf to meet him, and she was pub
iicly kissed by her loving spouse. This
violation of the law was at once re-
ported, and the captain was brought
before the magistrate and sentenced to
pc publicly whipped. There was no
getting out Of it, and the captain sub
mitted quite gracefully.
Just before the departure Of his ship
he gave an elaborate entertainment, to
which all of the magistrates were in
yited After the festivities were over
and every one had shaken hands with
the captain and was going over the
side the magistrates were seized by
the arm and stripped to the waist.
Each one was led to the gangway,
where vigorous boatswain gave him
thirty-nine Iashes on the bare back
and then hustled him over into a boat
amid the cheers Of the whole ships
company.
