MEXICAN SITUATION WORSE
President Wilson VIII Serve Notice to
Warning Factions That condl-
tions Must Change.

Observation-Disclosures Wilson has
decided to serve notice on all the war.
ring factions in Mexico that conditions
in that country have become intoler-
able and that unless they themselves
compose the situation soon, some other
means may have to be employed.
The first intimation OF the presi-
dents determination to take this step
came in his appeal issued as head OF
the American Red Cross, setting forth
that "due to several years Of internal
disturbances the unfortunate people OF
many parts Of Mexico have been re-
duced TO the verge Of starvation, {"
and urging contributions to relief
funds. Later the White House gave
out the following:
with the presidents appeal for aid
for the Mexicans It Is stated at the
executive offices that a statement from
the president on the present situation
in Mexico might be expected within
the next few days"
The governadent's plans, It is said,
viii take several weeks to be worked
out, and they are not expected to come
to q decisive point while the delicate
negotiations with Germany are in
progress.
President Wilson stated Tuesday aft
er his conference with Duyal West, his
personal representative in Mexico, that
he had decided on no change in the
Mexican policy, The recent events,

thorities of large quantities OF corn
purchased by the international relief
committee and the inability OF the au.

L,ondon.--Around the great fortress
~ Przemysl q mighty battle Is still
raging. The Austro-Ge rman armies
are making a supreme effort to cut OF
The stronghold and free these armies
for operations against Italy, and the
allies IN the west.
Although great human sacrifices are
being made, progress latterly has been
extremely slow as the Russians have
had time to bring up large reinforce
ments.
North Of Przemysl the Russians ap-
pear to be more than holding their
own, but to the southeast the Austrians
and Germans claim further Roadway
and now command with their artillery
the railway between Przemysl and
Grodek, which runs just south Of the
main line between Przemysl and Lem
berg. From Lemberg the Russians
draw a large portion Of their rein
Gorcements and supplies.
The battle is still undecided and
hopes run high in the allied camps
4hat the Russians can hold their lines
until the advance Of the Italians and
she strengthening Of the Anglo-French
armies compel the Germans to with
draw part Of their armies from Galicia.
In the west there has been consid-
cradle fighting along the User canal,
where the French report the occupa-
sion Of German trenches, and in the
vicinity Of Melville st. Vast, where
the French advanced about a quarter
0f a mile
The German official statement says

SEDIMENT CARRIED TO SEA.
Figures Show an Almost Incredible
Amount Transported by chlna's
Mighty River.

Some estimates of the discharge Of
the Yangtze-kiang river and Of the
amount Of sediment it carries have
recently been published by Prof. Kon-
rad Keilhaek Of the Berlin School OF
Mines, who visited the river in Sep
TENDER. 1913, when the stage Of wa
ter was unusually high. From meas
urements Of depth made at Wusung,
Marking, and Hankow, and estimates
Of width and velocity, this authority
concludes that the discharge below
Hankow 1855 miles from the MOUTH,
amounts in time Of fiood to $500, 900
cubic feet per second. The annual
mean is estimated at 1,75O,0OO cubic
feet per second. Filtration measure
ments made at the mouth, near W.
sung, taken in conjunction with the
above figures for discharge indicate
an annual transport Of sediment at
the average rate Of 1880 pounds per
second, or total Of 584,OOO.OOO tons
per annum.

EXPERTS SAY HER ENTRANCE ON
SIDE or ALLIES WOULD
TURN THE TIDE.
BRITISH DIPLOMATS ACTIVE
Men Of High Position In Washington
cay Kingdom Greatly Anasrsd az
Destruction Of Property BY
Germans.

Washington.-In the opinion OF the
highest practical experts Of the war
department an early and decisive end
to the European conflict can be
brought about only IN one way. This
is by the entrance into the struggle
Of Holland, which country they regard
as the key Of the whole situation.
According to reports received here
continually through official channels,
the entrance Of Holland on the side
Of the allies is not an unlikely con
tingency. Holland is described in
these reports as being in angry
mood toward Germany on account
Of the loss Of vessels and other prop
erty which she has experienced. It
is understood every effort is being
made BY English diplomacy to bring
her over to the side Of the allies.
The American military view is that
II Holland enters the war, her army
Of 100000 men viii occupy the atten-
tion Of the German forces on her Dor
ders. In the meantime, Lord Kitch-
ener will land on Hollands shores the
army Of nearly LOCO. 1000 men which he
has In England.
This army would invade Germany
with all possible speed, to cut on the
other lines OF Communication with the
great German army now In the
trenches in Belgium and France. The
effect would be to deprive the German
army at once OF food supplies.
The main German army would then
be caught between two great armies,
and, in the language OF the military
experts Of the war department It
would be squeezed"
The war department experts de-
scribe the present fighting in France
and Belgium not series Of battles,
but a prolonged siege. The front ex-
tends from the sea to the vosges
mountains, a distance Of about $50
miles. and thanking operations are out
OF the question.
In their opinion, the best the allies
c0ald hope to do, unless Holland en-
tered the war and gave them a gate
through which to strike. would be to
force the German line slowly back
ward by sheer weight OF numbers.
For these reasons the belief ex-
pressed is that the invasion OF Ger
many through Holland is a trick Lord
Kitchener has up his sleeves" and
viii play when the right time comes.
