| with the first load of American refugees
from war-stricken Europe, emphasis is
placed on the situation of thousands Of
Americans in Europe and on the diff

checks and on letters of credit and by
suspension of regular steamship sailings.

The House of Representatives passed
the war risk bill yesterday. But it was
a tired, frayed and mad assemblage at
the end of the long-winded performance
at which the measure was carried.
The debate was bitter. Personalities
of the harshest kind were tossed about
during the afternoon, eliminating in an
angry clash between two good friends.
Majority Leader Underwood and Mi
nority Leader Mann slammed each other
merrily, calling each other such names
as "demagogue" and "claptrap.' Repre-
sentative Mann went as near to charg-
ing Mr.. Underwood with stating an I'M

Representative Green of Iowa also drew

troops of the Fifth Brigade, u. S. A..

Mexicans who hate the ''Gr.ngo"
with vengeance that is theirs from
birth and who only await the oppor-
tunity to strike the counting blow,
regardless of any ultimate results
which may harm the republic OF
Mexico.
General Funston is isolated for the
reason that the secretary of the navy

erations, the chance of relief IN case
of necessity the transports which
were chartered by the government
for use in moving troops to and

arise which would demand that
Funston be reinforced or that his
troops be removed from what at any
moment may become a precarious
position at Vera Cruz.
