RED CROSS SOCIETY
To Do GREAT WORK
Will Spend Millions to Pre-.
vent Floods in Famous
Valley of China.

NEW YORK, Feb 3.-Plans for the
prevention of floods in the Hwal river
valley Of China, the latest and probably
the greatest humanitarian project ever
undertaken by the American Red Cross,
are now under way.
A telegram received today from Miss
Mabel Boardman, chairman OF the e1-
ecutive committee of the American Red
Cross, authorized the j. G.. White En-"
gineering corporation of New York to
announce that it had been authorized
not only to do the work, but to obtain
the $20,000,000 necessary to finance 1t.
A commissioner from the Chinese gov
ernmcnt is on the way here and i've
American engineers have been recon-
mended to take charge of the project.
Three years have elapsed since the
Red Cross first suggested that China, IN
stead Of spending millions to relieve
the suffering caused almost annually by
the overflow Of the Hwai, should make
the river keep within its banks. On
account of international difficulties ln-
volved in raising money and granting
concessions for the work. the Chinese
hesitated TO carry out the project unless
the Red Cross would undertake general
supervision.
This organization has agreed within
year 10 raise the S20,0O0,000 needed
and the designation or the j. G. White
corporation, announced today, makes it
certain that American money will f.
nance tho project and American brains
solve the engineering problems.
The national conservancy bureau of
China has sent here as its representa-
tive with full power DR.. Chen Chin Tao,
graduate Of Yale university. Plans
of the American engineers which will
be submitted to him follow suggestions
made by Charles Davis Jameson, the
engineer sent by the Red Cross three
years ago to make a survey of the
Hwai valley. The Chinese government
recommends that Mr.. Jameson be re.
tanned as general adviser.
1T is estimated that after the work
is begun six years will be required for
its completion and that employment
will be given to at least 100000 men.
The project calls for dredging and dig,
ging and the construction of dams and
reservoirs to keep the Hwai within its
proper course. impound its surplus wa
tiers and divert the streams that in time
Of flood increase its burden.
During the last tve years the Amer
can Red Cross contributed million
dollars to aid famine sufferers in the
Hwai valley

BY International News Service.

WASHINGTON, Feb 3.-Provisional
President Huerta OF Mexico has filed
an unofficial protest with the administra-
ton to the raising of the embargo on
arms by the president, it became known
tonight. IN this protest he charges the
United States virtually with esta abllshing
condition OF anarchy In Mexico.
The protest was msdo through Charge
d 'Affaires Alcara OF the Mexican embas-
sy. 1t was considered unofficial and
was treated as "a secret conference by
the officials of the state department and
the Mexican embassy.
Officials here are awaiting an2lously
the outcome OF President Wilson's procla-

That the United States is determined

President Huerta's View.

President Huerta. however a few days
ago. said that the lifting OF the embargo
would not improve the rebels position
greatly, because already in his opinion
they were getting into the country, across
the international boundary. all the guns
and ammunition they were able TO pay
for. in spite OF the apparent efforts Of
the American war department TO prevent
the smuggling. He added that money was
the thing the rebels needed more than
anything else and this they could not
get.
Hs appears stIll to believe that this
situation VIII continue and Sepor Moheno
has expressed the same opinion, although
with less assurance.
Others not so close TO the president
believe the rebels viii be able to OBJ
tain the money necessary TO enable them
TO make a swift campaign against the
capital. They point out that banking
houses and capitalists generally will prop
ably regard a loan made TO the rebels
under the new conditions as an excel
lent business proposition subject to lit
tle risk

WAR is NEARING END,
SAYS GENERAL VILLA

JUAREZ, Mexico, Feb. 3.-tThe
Mexican war will not last much
longer. -
So commented General Francisco
Villa aud other rebel leaders on the
announcement today from Washington
that President Wilson had lifted the
embargo against the shipment of arms
and ammunition into Mexico General
Villa was confident that his ability to
procure unlimited arms would soon
multiply rebel victories, and just as
confident that the news from Washing.
ton would discourage and demoraGze
the federal troops, so that d speedy
termination of the iDternecine strife
among Me1icans was In sight.
Half of the strength of the Huerta
forces, General Villa said, depended
upon their ability to obtain arms from
through the ports they controlled along
the United States border, were denied
this privilege. Smuggling had never
brought satisfactory results, he said,
and the rebels heretofore had to cap
ture their fighting weapons from tho
fcderals, as was done at Ojinaga
Immediate Effect.
The immediate effect OF the lifting
Of the embargo, it was admitted, would
be the ordering of great quantities of
ammunition, cannon and modern rapid
fire pieces. Negotiations had ALREADY
been opened with manufacturers Of
arms in the United States for the pur.
chase of supplies in the event that the
embargo might be lifted. Tho rebels
say their treasury is supplied with
funds 20 make purchases.
Nothing other than the resignation
of Huerta or the recognition of the
rebels by the United States could have
caused more JOY to General Villa. Had
the action been taken few months
ago, he said, the war probably would
| have been over by now. AS it is. he
thought, few months would witncs:
the restoration of constitutional gov.
crnment throughout the republic.
When he heard the report Of the
lifting Of the embargo, General Villa
at his headquarters at first was incred
ulous, but when tie details were i'm
parted TO him, he embraced his in
formant and, waving his cap in tho
air, cried; fThe war will soon bc
over, The war will soon be over"
