MEXICAN AFFAIRS
TAKE A BAD TURN
TWO BATTlESHlPS ARE HURRi-
EDLY ORDERED TO PROCEED
TO VERA CRUZ WATERS.
FEAR ANTl-AME RICAN RIOTS
Large Fleet May Later Be Sent to
Mexico.-More Troops Will Be
Sent to the Border at Once.
Foreigners Threatened.

Washington.-The situation in Mex
leo took a new and startling turn Aug
10. and it is believed there is a strong
probability that a clash between the
United States and Carranza is immi-
nent.
Commander McNamee, in command
Of the naval forces of the east coast,
reported that mobs in Vera Cruz were
being melted to murder foreigners and
that the situation was extrmely seri-
Gus. He asked that two battleshtps
be sent to him at once.
In response to his request, the bat
tleships Louisiana and New Hamp-
shire sailed on the night of Aug. 10
from Newport, r. l., for Vera Cruz.
The gunboat Marietta has also been
ordered from Progreso to Vera Cruz.
President Wilson has decided to cut
short his vacation at Cornish, n. H.,
and return to Washington at once.
DR.. Ortega. the Guatemalan minister
to Mexico. who was ordered expelled
by Carranza, was taken on board the
gunboat Sacramento at Vera Cruz for
safety. His wife and daughter are
with him. They will be brought to
the United States.
The navy department hurriedly pre-
pared plans to divert from Haiti some
of the marines and ships which are
now there. This will be done if the
situation at Vera Cruz becomes more
critical.
Naval officers expressed the opinion
privately that within a short time a
large part of the Atlantic fleet will be
sent south to Mexican waters.
Announcement was made that more
troops will be sent to the Mexican Dor
der at once
The text of Commander McNamee's
report today was not given out. but it
was learned from both departments
that he described conditions as caus
ing intense fear among all foreigners
in Vera Cruz of serious troubles. He
said there were street parades, gather
ings of mobs and incendiary speeches,
with threats against foreigners.

Valued at One Billion.

Observation-Disclosures billion bushels
of oats and a billion bushels of wheat
are in prospect for this years Ameri-
can harvest. Record crops of rye.
white and sweet potatoes, tobacco,
rice and hay also are predicted. Farm
ers planted 310,546, 900 acres, or 10,-

The wheat crop, the greatest ever
grown in any country, will be worth
more than $1,000. OOO, 900. while the
corn crops value may reach $780,
O0O, 900.
Estimates OF the principal crops, an
nounced Aug. 8 by the Department Of
Agriculture, based on conditions Of
Aug. l, show that all crops will be
greater than last year. Wheat and
corn both showed improvement over
July conditions, though excessive
rains and cold weather In the central
states interfered with threshing. Oats
also suffered in those states, but in
other sections the improvement more
than Offset his.
Corn prospects increased almost
100, 900, 600 bushels, the principal gains
having been Illinois, 80, 900 bush
els; Kansas, 1900, 900; Oklahoma,
2 5000, 900; Nebraska, $1,000, 900; Iowa,
$4,000, 900, and Texas, 10000, 900.

over record crops indicated include
tobacco, $4,000, 900 pounds; fax, 1920,
