Berlin, July 26.-In tones of regret
that the American note disregards
the German standpoint and makes the
situation between the United States
and Germany more tense, Eugene
Zimmerman, general director of the
Lokal Anzieger and Theodor Wolff,
editor -in-chief of the Berliner Tage-
blatt today lengthily discussed the
document. Herr Zimmerman insists
that America, which itself recognized
the submarine as an unprecedented
weapon, nevertheless, failed to admit
that Germany had pointed out way
to preserve neutral rights under the
new style of warfare. He reiterates
that Germany will continue ito treat
America politely and considerably al
long as that appears useful"

Adolph Blau, alias ]. Brand, alleged
private banker of Scranton, Pa, was
arrested here today on complaint of
the chief of police of Scranton, and
a warrant issued by Thomas L. Will
Jams, police magistrate, which charges
Blau with embezzlement of 100000.
It is stated in the information sent
the police that the Blau's bank closed
June IL and he Immediately disap-
peared. When arrested Blau had in
his possession several clippings re-
garding bank failures and suicide of
bankers. He expresses a willingness
to return to Scranton without requisi-
ton papers. The Scranton authori-
ties have been notified and will prob
ably send an officer after the pris-
oner. Blau was caught while calling
for his mail at the postofice.

THOUSANDS ARE STARVING
NOW IN MEXICO CITY
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Mexico City, July 17.-(By courier
to Vera Cruz, July 20, mail to New
Orleans, July 26.)-Conditions in the
capital border on the desperate today,
thousands Of hungry inhabitants
wandering about the streets searching
for food which is not obtainable be-
cause merchants refuse to accept the
paper money issue in exchange for
merchandise. General Gonzales de-
cree multiplying the fifty million dol
lar Issue in circulation when he en-
tered the city has not been followed
by the introduction of new money.
Yesterday mobs of women paraded
the streets looting bakeries, markets
and pastry shops, until they were dis
persed by streams of water thrown
by the fire department.
General Villela and seven commits
stoned officers of the Zapata forces,
captured by Gonzalez when he occu-
pied the capital, were executed yes
terday on charges of rebellion. Gov
ernor Herrera and staff and a number
of other officers are awaiting court
martial on the same charges.
The food situation here continues
extremely serious. Representatives
of the American relief committee
stated today that they have been I'M
able to relieve the distress of the
starving Mexicans and needy Ameri-
cans, although the committee has
thousands of dollars, because of the
inability to purchase food, fuel and
other necessities due to their scarcity
and the uncertainty of the money sit
uation. Virtually all places of bust
ness are closed. The city is full Of
rumors concerning the nearness OF
Villa and Zapata forces and there has
been almost continuous fighting II

Under Consideration
OTHER LEADERS OF
COUNTRY called ON
If Carranza Refuses To Act
a New Party Will
Be Organized.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, July 26.-The United
States will take definite steps soon
towards settling the Mexican prob
lem, the state department announced
authoritatively today, but did not dis
close the nature of the contemplated
action. President Wilson is under
stood to be considering several sug-
gested courses, since the Mexican
factions failed to heed his suggestion
of some months ago and settle their
differences and restore peace.
Officials in close touch with Wilson
said tonight they thought he had not
determined finally what will be done.
1t is believed the most probable course
will be to confer with other factions in
an effort to restore peace. Should Car
rama refuse, it is said Wilson con-
templates efforts 70 assemble other
Mexican leaders ITO viii represent
the majority Of the people. Such !
conference might be held in Northern
Mexico or In the United States. The
conference would arrange for con,
stitutional convention which would
plan for an. election and establish.
ment of government which the
United States would recognize anC
help maintain.

Berlin Papers Harsh in Their
Criticism Of the United States

Regarding the last paragraph, Herr
Zimmerman says:
"There is lacking again the neces-
sity recognized by America itself in
viewing submarine warfare as uncov-
cred by existing international law.
We reserve the right specifically to
determine against whom we are un,
friendly or who, through no fault of
ours, are drawn into suffering"
The Tageblatt after declaring that
President Wilson's standpoint is the
opposite of reasonable right or correct
reason, says:
eve are not so slavishly free in
our thinking as Americans are told.
We believe that Mr.. Wilson essential
ly is not free and that his ideas Of
humanity and neutrality are not vol
unfairly in accord with the interests
Of his electors"

Defense Schemes
Will Be Mapped
By the President
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, July 26.-Officials of
the army and navy today were assem-
bling data upon which the admins
tration's program of national defense
would be based. Preparations of the
army and navy board reports on the
needs of the respective services likely
will be rushed and laid before Secre-
taries Garrison and Daniels within
few days. Upon his return from Cor
nish, N. H., President Wilson and the
two secretaries will formulate de-
Tense scheme.
Plans for the navy include a large
increase in submarines, from thirty
to fifty being recommended; several
battle cruisers; at least four dread
naughts; a large increase in the aux
iliary and aerial fleets and several
submarine bases.
Army plans contemplate an army
of half million regulars and militia.
