dent Samuel Gompers, OF the Amer

strike was aimed at, the result OF
which would be. of course. to shut OF,
shipments to the Allies, particularly
of ammunition and arms.
He was unwilling 10 make a direct
accusation, he said, but he declared
his information came from sources

That the influences were the same

the purport OF this information.
Gompers' assertion was in line
with that OF Secretary Frank Morri-
son. OF the federation. who said last
week that II 1t was true. a reported.
that British Ambassador Spring
Rice had told the state department
$4,000 was paid from German

What Virtually Is an American Pro-

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
WASHINGTON Aug. 3.-N hat vir-
tually is an American protectorate
exists in Haiti already, 1T was admit
ted in, government circles here. today
Of1cials said 1t probably would be
giving good results If it were not that
Haitien politicians fear vengeance
from rival native groups as soon as It
is withdrawn. They were hopeful,
however, that Admiral Caperton would
succeed in bringing the groups to-
gether and tablishing new gov
ernment.
To whomsoever the presidency may
be given, 1t was predicted that the
United States forces will not be with
drawn this time until a definite un-
derstanding has been reached for a
more or less complete American sup
ervision of the republics affairs.

The War in Mexico
Latest Developments Among Our Revolutions

United Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-South and
Central American cooperation with
the United States in keeping arms
and ammunition out of Mexico, except
for the benefit of the recognized gov
ernment-to-be, is the object Secretary
Lansing will seek at his scheduled
conference Thursday with Ambassa-
dors Naon, Dagama and Suarez and
Ministers Calderon, DePena and Mat
dez, respectively of Argentina, Brazil,
Chile, Bolivia, Uruguay and Guate-
mala, it was learned on excellent
authority today. The other Pan-Amer-
lean republics, Cuba included, will not
be overlooked, it was said. but for the
initial negotiations the three ambas-
sadors, as the highest diplomatic off,
cials of the Pan-American group, and
the three ranking minister's, were
chosen to clear away all obstacles
they consider likely to interfere with
the execution of the plan on which It
was understood a tentative agreement
was reached at various informal chats
recently between Secretary Lansing
and the southern plenipotentiaries.
The Washington administration has
realized all along, officials admitted,
that an arms embargo would be in
effective If American supplies could
be trans-shipped from Cuba, Central
and South America into Mexico. The
republics with whose representatives
Secretary Lansing has talked, were
reported to be in hearty accord with
the American program and no trouble
was expected in putting it through.
Unless General Carranza should
meet with some unexpected and seri-
Gus reverse. it was considered a fore
gone conclusion that recognition would
be accorded to him. Lansing denied,
indeed, that President Wilson had
written to him definitely of his inten-
ton to accord recognition within two
weeks. It was generally understood
this was substantially the plan,
whether or not it actually had been
put in writing.
Confirmation was received OF re-
ports that Carranzistas had reoccu-
pied Mexico City and all accounts
agreed that the first chief was rushing
food to the capital as fast as possible.

What the War Moves Mean
By j. w. T. Mason, Former European Man
aeer of the United Press.

main German objective against Russia
that the Slavs be allowed to time to
recuperate when they have fallen back
from the Vistula line. Therefore, the
German general staff must be far more
concerned with placing the forces ad-
yantageously for following up the V1s-
tu1a victory, than it is with actually
gaining that victory.
The Russians show they appreciate
this fact by the appeal they are MAX
ing TO France and England to develop
an offensive in the west to distract
tho Germans. 1t is not that the Rus
sian general staff hopes thus to save
warsaw at the last moment. Rather,
the russians must now be concentrat-
mo their attention on how they are
going TO keep their new Brest Litovsk
line intact.
Rrest I.itovsk is the central muni-
tions station for all Poland. Its loss
wouId be a calamity to the Russians
more severely felt from military
standpoint even than the loss Of War-
aaw The Brest Ltovsk line is not
as strong as the vistula defenses. II
the Germans can capture the latter,
.be former should not persent insuper-
ahIe obstacles. In fact the present
struggle perhaps may be more prop
erI, described as thu campaign for
prest L.tovsk rather than the cam
paign for Warsaw :.

ROME, Aug. 3.-That Austria will
beain a determined attempt to invade
northern italy through the Adiqe val
lev when the Warsaw campaign 10
ended is the information brought to
Rome today from several Swiss from
tier towns.
From some sources It 10 reported
that the massing Of Austrian troops
and guns between Trent and Rovere-
to already has begun. This report
was partially corroborated In tho
last official dispatches from General
cadorna who said observers have re-
ported the arrival of troop trains at
the Rovereto station.
At several points along the TyroI-
can frontier, particularly in Lodro
valley, small Austrian forces have at
tempted to take the offensive, but
have been repuIsed In every attack.
These assaults 1t is generally be-
Iieved here, were for the purpose Of
feeling out the strength Of the Italian
positions inside the Austrian from
tier.
The war office today gave out a re-
port from General DaIIoIio, minister
Of munitions, who has just returned
from a visit Of inspection to Italian
ammunition factories. He reported
that the daily output Of shells is more
than sufficient for the Italian armies
and that the reserve supplies already
on hand are large enough for cam
palan Of year.
