Senatorial more and more with the grow

fast-growing rule. Ex-senator and
Mrs. Scott will be the very near neigh
of the late ex-senator of Missouri. Ex-
Senator and Mrs Eugene Hale are near
neighbors Of Mr.. and Mrs. Philander p.
Knox. the latter's home on X street ad-
joining the Hale property. having been
bought while Mr.. Knox was in the
cabinet and before he was efected to
the Senate. The home of the. late Sena-
tor Stephen B. Elkins is on the same
street. and Mrs. Elkins will probably
always keep up the Elkins winter home
here. Ex-senator and Mrs. julius c.

WILSON, new
MEXICAN POLICY
Determines That Order
Shall be Restored in 81
Southern Country ):
is IT INTERVENTION?
United States Will Not be Swayed
From Course by Possible Necessity
for Drastic Action.

Washington, June 2-PreSident
Wilson and his Cabinet have adopted
a new Mexican policy. 1t has for its
object restoration of order and the
relief of millions of noncombatants
from the deWastations of MeXico's
military elements which have brought
about conditions described as intol-
cradle.
The President has read to the Cabi-
net statement to be communicated
to the leaders of all Mexican factions
serving notice that unless they them
selves compose the situation, some
other means will be found by the
United States to bring about the es-
tablishment Of stable government.
The statement was approved after
prolonged discussion.
The specific course the United
States will pursue in the event the
contending factions fail to agree is
not outlined in the Presidents state
ment, but the administrations pre-
sent purpose is to give moral sup
port to coalition Of the best ele-
ments in Mexico, and accord the gov
ernment thereby created formal re-
coonitior. With such recognition
would come an embargo on arms, per-
hitting the constituted government
to receive munitions d war to the
exclusion of all other elements and
factions.
That the governments policy, II
unsuccessful in this course. might
require ultimate intervention has
hcen considered, and the intention to
insist on a settlement has not been
swaved by the possible necessity OF
such action. In high executive quar-
tors. however, confidence prevails
that the expression of the American
Governments attitude will clear up
misannrehensions that have existed
IN Mexico. as to it's intentions. and
bring about the desired coalition
government. 4.

GERMAN SEAMEN GO MAD
Bad Food Blamed for Insanity in
Merchant Fleet.

New York, June 2-The health
commissioner Of Hoboken, Dr.. Jose.
phi Stack, said today that he was con-
vinced the insanity of number of
sailors of the German ships lying
there was caused by bad food. The
local officers of the Hamburg-Ameri-
can and North German Lloyd lines
strongly conbated this idea, saying
that the food was the same as Gus
tomarily served to the seamen and
was perfectly good.
The number of insane sailors re-
moved from the fleet of a dozen
liners was put by DR.. Stack at a
higher figure than had been pub
lished hitherto. Twelve insane men
have been removed from the ships
IN the past two months and are now
under the care of New Jersey au
thorities, he said.
There are 5000 German sailors
now idle at Hoboken and 90 per
cent of these, DR.. Stack declares are
under-nourished and anaemic. The
authorities fear than insanity may
continue to spread and that an epi.
demic of beri-beri may develop un-
less there is prompt Improvement.
