MEXICAN PROBLEM
 IS GROWING WORSE Communication. With Capi- tai Cut Off-Mr. Wilson
 Plans Definite Step

Washington, July 23.-With communica- ton with Mexico City cut for five days since the reoccupation by Zapata forces and with agents here of the Mexican fac tions in ignorance of military operations the Mexican situation today again began to assume an air of tension.
 Somewhere in the neighborhood of Pac- huca. northwest of the capital, Gen.. Pablo Gonzales Carranza army is believed to be battling with the Villa flying column" whose swoop down from the north caused him to abandon Mexico City Cutting of cables and telegraph wires has drawn veil over this whole sec- tion.
 President Wilson today conferred with Red Cross officials and listened with in terest to reports that the Red Cross had been hampered in it's effort to extend relief to the needy civilian population of Mexico. The Presi- dent told Brigadler General Devol, manager of the Red Cross; Ernest P. Bicknell. it's director. and Miss Mabel T. Boardman not to be discouraged by handi- caps and to keep up the relief work get ting supplies into Mexico wherever they could.
 Political aspects of the situation were discussed briefly, but the President did not indicate what the United States would do as a result of the failure of the rival

 have long stood together in urging the very principles. upon which the govern ment of the United States now so sol emnly insists They are both contend ing for the freedom of the seas. The government of the United States will con- tinue to contend for that freedom, from whatever quarter violated, without com promise and at any cost. It invites the practical cooperation of the imperial Ger man government at this time when CO., operation may accomplish most and this great common object be most strikngly and effectively achieved.
 The imperial German government ex- presses the hope that this object may be in some measure accomplished even be- fore the present war ends. It can be. The government of the United States not only feels obliged to insist upon It. by whomsoever violated or ignored, in the protection of its own citizens, but is also deeply interested in seeing it made practicable between the belligerents them selves, and holds Itself ready at any time to act as the common friend who may be privileged to suggest way.
 In the meantime the very value which this government sets upon the long and unbroken friendship between the people and government of the United States and the people and government of the Ger man nation impels it to press very sol emnly upon the imperial German gov ernment the necessity for a scrupulous observance of neutral rights in this crit ical matter. Friendship itself prompts it to say to the imperial government that repetition by the commanders of Ger man naval vessels of acts in contraven- tion of these rights must be regarded by the government of the United States, when they affect American citizens, as deliberately. unfriendly.

GOMPERS |NDORSES'
 STRIKERS DEMANDS AT MUN|T|ON PLANTS
Denies Making Statement That German Influences" Were Responsible for
 Industrial Dispute

Bridgeport Conn. July 23.-After day of conferences with heads of interna- tional labor unions here, Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, announced tonight that his or ganzation indorsed demands made in the strike in the plants of the Remington Arms and Ammunition company and sub contractors manufacturing war munitions for the allies He further announced that he did not refer to Bridgeport in mak- ing his statement about German influ- ences" and that he did not believe the strike leaders had been influenced in any manner.
 Gompers gave out the following formal statement today:
 The conference after thorough dicus- sion of the industrial dispute existing m Bridgeport has reached the unanimous conclusion that the demands made by the trades primarily interested are req sonable and Just, and are therefore. in- dorsed, and If necessary every possible assistance to secure the demands will be given by the Federation of Labor
 Of the charge that German funds had influenced the strike, Gompers said:
 ''rhe newspapers have exaggerated my remarks somewhat. What l did say was that emissaries of foreign nation were at work to corrupt seanen and longshore- men to go on strike and refuse to handle all products going to the allies. l made no reference to Bridgeport. I stated that haven't any hestancy in believing that the same influences are at work else where and for the same purpose. That statement was made, by me before the Bridgeport trouble occurred When the time shall come for me to speak moro definitely I shall do SO"
 Of report that a woman had offered him a big sum of money to tie up am- munition manufacturing pants of the United States. Gompers declined to speak, saying 1t was matter which might come up in due time.

PRESIDENT ISSUES CALL FOR REPORT ON
 NATIONAL DEFENSE
Heads of Navy and War De- partments to Report Per- sOnally on C0untry's
 Military Strength

Washington, July 33-President Will son has called for reports on the sub 1cct of national defense. These will be rtade to him personally by the heads of the war and navy departments The fact that this action had been taken became known here tonight after the release for publication of the note to Germany relating 10 submarine war fare.
 Without regard to present day con- troversies, the President in association with various heads of departments has been giving consideration for some time to the preparation of a reason able and adequate naval programme which he will propose to Congress at the proper time. He will study this subject on his visit to Cornish, N H., and when he again returns here he may be prepared to discuss it with his advisers
 For the time being the President Feels that it is desirable to drop all discussion of the controversy with Germany, now that the object of this weeks visit to Washington has been accomplished and he is turning to questions of permanent national poll lev. Practical advice concerning na- ticnal defense from every available professional source is being sought It is known in fact that the best minds of the military branches of the govern ment have been at work on these mat ters for sometime
 Men of the army and navy who have been most directly in touch with con dftfons of defense that have been evolved out of modern experience have been called upon for their views The President not only wishes advice from those who have knowledge of actual conditions of warfare existing in Eu- rope today, but he Is seeking light from those who are able to under. stand and comprehend all possible phases of altered conditions on both land and sea. He particularly wishes the navy to stand upon equality with the most efficient and serviceable fighting sea force maintained by any power
 As to the army, 1t Is known here that the President is preparing to in corporate in his next message to Con gress a definite programme relating to the development and equipment of this branch of the service. It will provide plan for the proper military training of citizens in every way consistent with American traditions and national policy and which the President be- lieves will commend itself to all pa- tricts and practical minds. In this mat ter the President is working with the Secretary of War and his professional associates. It is understood that on this portion of the Presidents general national defense programme some very definite conclusions already have beeA reached

UNABLE TO FORM OVERSEAS TRUST
 TO PROTECT COTTON
American Government Refuses to Recognize Arrangement With Cot ton Shippers-Fear Tradi-
 tiOnal Opposition

London, July 23.-Ce:55 D. m.)-American representatives here of detained cargoes do not believe there is much hope of forming In the United States an organi- zation such as the Netherlands Overseas Trust to insure imports against falling into the hands of enemies of the United Kingdom.
 Such an organiza ton, they point out is unavoidable unless 1t at least has the tacit recognition of the government and they have no hope of obtaining recognition from the American government Wash in8ton has made 1t clear that it extends no official recognition to any arrangement made by Great Britain with American cotton shippers.
 Promoters of the idea here also fear the traditional opposition of the Amer fcan government to the recognition of monopolies will act to prevent formation of such an organization.

 Of only slightly less importance in this region are the battles on the Bug between Brylow and Dobrotovra. West of Warsaw the Russians have moved back to their second line at Blonie and Nadarzyn and in front of Ivangorod These positions are regarded as ths mans assaulted them furiously in two former campaigns but were unable tc breach them.

 The central idea of the German cam. .paign is assumed to be to get control of the vistula line. With this strong natural barrier adequately fortified military critics say. Germany might hope to keep Russia in check with comparatively small forces and then throw her entire weight against France.
