Direct Action likely Later.

Talk of Intervention, which has
been dormant ever since the Euro
pean war diverted attention from the
situation nearer home, was immedi-
ately revived by the White House
statement Many diplomatists who
interpreted the days events as the
forerunner of a new policy thought
intervention was an inevitable out
come of the situation and that the
United states was paving the way
Tor such action by notifying the
world of its purpose TO take steps for
the sake of humanity. They pointed
out that a similar utterance had pre-
ceded Intervention in Cuba in 1898.
For the present 1t is understood the
notification TO all the Mexican fac
lions of the intolerable state of affairs
and the desire of the American gov
eminent for a betterment Of condi-
tions Will be allowed to stand without
explanation while the relief work Of
the American Red Cross Is under
taken In earnest. The belief was
widespread in official and diplomatic
circles tonight that an immediate ef-
feet of the Forthcoming statement
win be to give warning that relief
supplies must not be appropriated
by the military factions aud that they
must assist in feeding the starving
population.

While the statement of the presi-

tentative course in ease ii is not
Needed, the general trend of comment
tonight indicated that the United
States government as a first step in
such a contingency, would insist on
keeping the railroad between Vera
Cruz and Mexico City open for the
transportation of supplies and might
even deliver its supplies TO the peo-
pie In other Mexican cities by gov
eminent agencies.
The governments plans, it is said.
will take several weeks to be worked
out and they are not expected TO
come to a decisive point while the
delicate negotiations with Germany
are in progress.
President Wilson stated Tuesday
after his conference with Duval West,
his personal representative in Mex
leo, that he had decided on no change
in the Mexican policy. The events Of
the last twenty-four hours-the seiz-
ure by Carranza authorities OF large
quantities OF corn purchased by the

BURIED
Hand Unearthed And FinqerS
Strengthened

Georgetown, Del, Jan. 5-Suffering
intense pains In hand which had
been amputated and buried, Lewis
Jefferson, of Blades, had no relief un-
til the hand was uncovered and the
finges Strengthened out, since when
he has felt no more pain.
The strange story is vouched for
by Jefferson himself, whose hand was
cut off by a circular saw several
weeks ago. During the past week
he has been suffering with severe
pains and with an itching sensation
in what would have been the palm
of his hand.
Unrelieved by physicians, the
young man acted on the advice of
friends and dug up the amputated
hand, which had been buried for near
ly six weeks. The fingers of the hand
were found in a cramped position.
After Strengthening out the fingers
and weighing them so that they
could not again double up, the hand
was reburied. All pain left Jefferson
at once, and he claims that he has
suffered no inconvenience since.
