WASHINGTON, May 21.--The gen.

consideration at the navy department
OF plans to withdraw a part Of the
fleet on the east coast of Mexico. Act
ing Secretary Roosevelt said he hop
ed within a week to have four battle
ships, FIVE destroyers and q tender
on the way north.
Another important development of
the day was a conference called by
Secretary Bryan with British Ambas-
sador Spring-Rice and Minister Van
Rappard Of the Netherlands to con-
slider conditions in the Tampico oil
fields. Protests, it was reported, had
been received from oil operators that
federal officials had negotiated trans
fers of the America nleases to Brit
ish and Dutch oil men. Similar pro-
tests that Dutch and British holders

understanding was reached taht
transfers made during the seige of
Tampico would not be recognized.
! Secretary Bryan said the state de-
partment had no advices Of any effort
to collect contributions from foreign
ers in Tampico.
The state department, still without
result, continued its efforts to obtain
information as to the fate Of Consul
John r. Silliman at Saltillo.
I'VE are now seeking information
as to Silliman from sources other
than through Mexico City," said Sec
reatry Bryan.
No further official information was
forthcoming in the case Of Private

New York-It is not moratorium
which has been adopted by the bank

ton with the government-for that
word signifies suspension of certain
kinds of payments which is authorized
by legislative enactment.
r Yet the bankers and the government,
as far as practicable, will act in coop
GRAFTON with intent to suspend pay
ments in gold for the present. This
will be facilitated. partly through the
issuing of additional currency, partly
by the action of clearing house asso-
Citations, which will receive hereafter
in payment of balances any kind OF
money. Up to this time the clearing
house associations of New York have
accepted in payment of balances moth
ing but gold or legal tenders, although
gold is usually represented by clearing
house gold certificates.
OF course, any one who possesses a
gold certificate may demand of the
government it's redemption in gold
But the bankers and the government
as well, are now taking measures BY
which it will be possible practically te
hoard these certificates, or at least te
keep many of them out of general cir
culation.

Wilson to the Department of Justice
for an investigation into the sudden
and astonishing advance in the prices
of food products since the European
war began.
The local United States District At
torney, Mr.. Wilson, summoned the

various wholesalers, jobbers and re-
tailers who deal in meats, flour, gro
cerfes and provisions of all sorts and
conduct cold storage warehouses
Similar Investigations are in pro-

possible in their inquiries and reports.

of sugar on account of the increase in
consumption in the United States and
because of the cutting of the beet
sugar from Germany. However, the
astonishing rise IN the price OF sugar
to the consumer has brought to the
surface in congress dormant opposi-
ton to the Democratic free sugar pol
icy, and it's immediate effect upon the

munication, the second to freight
transportation. Wireless service be-
tween the German station at Tucker
ton, N. j., and the powerful new in
stallation at Hanover, Germany, will,
it is hoped, be working within few
days, it was announced by the cham
Der. 1t has been delayed by the set
ting up of new machinery at the Eu-
ropean end, but tests since last Fri
day show steady Improvement in
working, and it is expected that COM
mercial standard transmission will be
attained soon.
Meantime the chamber points out,
business concerns in the United States
which have branches or correspond
ents in neutral European countries can
communicate through these, by cable,
with German business houses. The
cables to Germany are cut, but cables
between England, Norway, Sweden,
Denmark and Holland are still intact.
Messages relayed in this way must
pass censorship, which requires them
to be in plain language and bear full
addresses, of course, but can be sent
without unreasonable delay up to now
Rotterdam has been found a specially
convenient relay point for this sort OF
communication, for the chamber re
ports a number of messages having
been passed through there to Germany
successfully in the last few days.

CHESS FOR HUMAN PAWNs
French Consul Refutes Reports of
German Victories.

Cincinnati.-The European warfare
is a gigantic and terrible game of
chess played with humans as pawns
and the crowns OF. Europe as Kings
and Queens Eugene Pociey, French
Consul, said, in refuting the dispatches
that Germany had gained any great
victory by opposing the French sol
diers who temporarily occupied Muehl-
hansen. The~occupation of Muehlhau-
sen by the French was a feint to draw
the strength of the Germans into
limelight, and demonstrate how swift
ly a Capitalization of their forces
could be made, Pociey declares, and
in that it was successful. General
Joffee, with 100000 men, was massed
near Muehlhausen, Pociey cites, as
evidence that the French did not con-
slider the point strategic.
''The German army is in crescent,
and dependent on each individual
army The French army is formed in
a great triangle, and an attack on any
point of it that pretends to become
serious will bring heavy reinforce
ments from any other side of the tri-
angle, an advantage over the Ger
MANS" Pociey says. ''The slow mob
ilization of Russian forces has ena-
bled the Germans to make more con-
centrated attacks on France, which
will not be possible when the Russians
are entered into BATTLE" the Consul
said. 1.-THE Germans must defend Ber-
lin from Russian invasion, and already
several thousand Russian troops are
on the way toward the invasion.
When they enter Germany the Ger
man forces must be divided"
