me capital to assist Colonel Rogue
Gonzales Cara, selected by the con-

nation that while the capital was
quite well protected and policed, there
had been some executions for disor-

over the general situation. Light was
thrown on the conduct of Gutierrez by
the receipt from Vera Cruz Of letters
said to have been exchanged between
General Gutierrez, Obregon and Ag-
uilar, dated January 8, apparently the
time when Gutierrez announced to
the convention that he was working
on plans for the pacification of Mexi-

OFFICIAL NOTE TO BERLIN
DECISION of the United States Has
Been Awaited by Central and

Washington.-The United States has
sent formal note to Germany which,
without discussing the soveignty OF
Belgium, expresses a willingness to
make such arrangements as may be
necessary with the German military
authorities in de facto control of Bel
glan territory for the continuance of
American consular service there.
The American note should be deliv-
cred in Berlin now Although the first
note from Germany did not explicitly
raise the issue, officials of the Wash
lngton government in making their
reply carefully avoided any expression
which could be construed as politi-
cal recognition of Germany's control
of Belgium
The decision of the United States
has been awaited by Central and South
American governments which instruct.
ed their diplomatic representatives
here to discuss 1t in the Pan.Ameri.

No reference was made in either the
German note or the American reply
to the status OF diplomatic officers.

Smarting under the criticism, by the
Shreveport Chamber of Commerce, Of
the Louisiana Railroad commission,
which he styles as entirely unwar
ranted and unjust. Assistant Attorney
General w. NJ. Barrow, who is also at,
tOrney for the rail board, has issued
statement explaining the attitude OF
the commission and the part it has
played thus far in the fight of the
states west Of the Mississippi river
against proposed advances in freight
rates by the railroads
The Shreveport organization held a
special session adopting resolutions
taking the rail board to task for not
asking for funds of the Board OF L.
quotation with which to contribute to
the general fund raised by the shippers
OF the western states to carry on the
freight rate fight. Mr.. Barrow, in his
statement, expresses much surprise
over this action. To show that the
criticism was not warranted, he as
serts that, following letters received
from commercial organizations in
Shreveport Baton Rouge, Lake
Charles and Lafayette, the Railroad
Commission adopted resolutions pro-
testing against the proposed advances
and turned these resolutions over to
the assistant attorney general to file
with the Interstate Commerce Com.
mission. These, Mr. Barrow asserts.
were forwarded to Clifford Thorne, of
Iowa, chairman of committee named
by the shippers of the Western states
to handle the fight, and thereafter a
protest was filed with the Interstate

ATTACK MADE ON DUNKIRK
No Confirmation From Official Sources
of the Reported Visit OF
the Allies.

London. Although official descrlp-
tiOnS OF fighting on the western front
continue to be brief, there is evidence
that it is growing fiercer at many
points. The Germans are showing re-
neWed activity in the neighbOrhood cI
ipreS, and heavy commandments OF
the left wing OF the allies are almost
inceSSant
From the center eastward, however,
the battles are most bitter. In the Ar.
come, around Verdun and in Alsaee,
heavy engagements are in progress,
apparently without any decision hav-
ing been reached. But these are mere
ly local affairs compared to what is ex.
pected when the ground becomes more
suitable for moving troops.
Along the Belgian coast every move
OF the Germans is the signal for re-
newed Commandment by the British
ships, while the aviators of both forces
are continually dropping bombs behind
the lines.
Dunkirk has been separated out for
German air attack, doubtless be-
cause it is being used by the British
as base Of supplies from England,
while Ostend, Bruges and Zeebrugge
are receiving attention from the allies
for similar reason, There is no con-
firmation from official sources of the
