an investment and a producer or prof.
liable crops. Several large transact
lions have been negotiated during the

Contraband Commerce.

Washington, ID. C.-The complete
text of the Austro-Hungarian note to
the United States protesting against
the continued trade in war material
between the United States and the
Allies, made public here by the Aus
tro-Hungarian embassy, reveals more
clearly than press reports from Wen
ma the lengths to which the govern
ment of the dual monarchy goes in
Directing to the sale of war material
70 the Allies by persons in the United
States.
The note admits the trade is per-
mitted by law. but declares the spirit
Of the law is violated by the proper
tons which this trade has assumed
in the United States. 1t suggested
that the United States enact legisla-
ton imposing an embargo on the ship
ment of war materials to the Allies
or that it impose food embargo to
compel the Allies to permit commerce
in contraoand with Austr.a-Hungary
and Germany.

Trains, Heavily Guarded, Are Being

visions for Immediate Ship

Washington, ID. C.-Announcement
OF the re-occupation of Mexico City
by General Gonzales army was fol-
lowed by statement from General
Carranza's headquarters at Vera Cruz
that immediate efforts would be made
to send foodstuffs by rail TO the
starving people of the capital. The
State Department had no direct ad-
vices as TO the situation there.
Heavily guarded trains. it was re-
ported, are being prepared to leave
Vera Cruz with provisions to supple
ment those being taken into the city
by the army
Re-cpening of the railroad will fur
nish an important test for the effect
iveness of military operations of Car
ranZa's forces to protect means of
transportation from the east coast to
the capital, officials here believe.
Much depends, they say, upon the sue
cess of this undertaking, because the
United States Government is deter
mined to relieve the famine in Mexico

tween Queretaro and Aguascauentes.
connecting Gonzales with General
Obregon's forces, would be re-opened.
The message said
In addition to the supplies which
General Pablo Gonzales will carry
with him into the City of Mexico at
the present occupation, the Constitu-
tional Government has arransed for
the sending in of additional supplies
to the amount of 1920 tons of staples
which include -four corn. beans. bar
ley, lard, and dried means. These
supplies are supplemental to the large
qualities of relief materials which
have been heretofore detained en-
route by reason of the necessitous
military operations incident to the re-
gaining and preservation of control of
railway connection from the coast to
the capital. The public services for
the food distribution will be at once
re-opened.
Civil administration has been in
stalled at Queratado and civil en-
ployes of the Constitutional Govern
ment are being moved from Guerra
taro to Aguascalientes and TO points
intervening between that important
center and Queretaro. This re-estab-
lishment of communication reunites
the armies of Obrgon and Gonzales
by telegraphic and railway links"
Unofficial reports say an advance
guard of Gonzales army has taken
possession of Mexico City without
resistance. Troops are stationed
on the outskirts to guard the rail
road lines and waterworks and assur-
ances have been given that order will
be maintained and normal conditions
restored as rapidly as possible.

Prince. Haiti. where last weeks revo-
luton overturned the government and
necessitated the landing of an expe-
dictionary force from the United
States cruiser Washington to restore
order. A detachment from the cruis-
er Descartes is now guarding the
French legation from which President
Guillaume was taken by a mob and
assassinated.
A request for the guard was pre-
scented by the French Minister at
Port-au-Prince and cabled to Wash

expressed an urgent desire that his
legation be guarded by French sailors
inasmuch as the Descartes had ar

thought also that the French guard
would be able to tighten the burden
on Admiral Caperton's 400 men TO
some extent. Port-au-Prnce was re

In country where so much suffering

ported to have sold their stock through
lack of feed. found with their barns
full of stock, and it did not look very
much like hard times. They have
from $50 acres to two sections of the
finest land that can be found.
Those that left here two or three
years ago have from 100 to 400 acres
in crops this year.
Prospects for a bumper crop are
splendid. 1t is a little cold now, but

The public service commission of
West Virginia following arguments

railroads charging for hauling of Stag

roads would be permitted to put into
effect a tariff charging 20 cents per
ton. Railroads for years have hauled
Stag and cinders for the furnaces in
the Wheeling district free, because
they could be used for ballast. No
longer needing Stag for ballast, the
railroads recently filed a tariff SEIZED
