SOUWESrERN REFLECTIONS,

Although planting has been greatly
retarded by the excessive rains we
may hope, with reason for better con.
ditions from this time forth. Possibly
the late Spring will require the alter.
ing OF pans to some extent, and the
cutting out of some acreage which had
been determined upon previously.
Whatever else it may or may not be
necessary to eliminate, there should be
no curtailment of the crop of feed.

Observation-Disclosures Wilson has
determined that all the rival factions
in Mexico shall be compelled, if neces.
sary, not only to respect the lives and
property of foreigners, but to insure
freedom of commercial cOmmuniCa-
ton between the United States and
it's southern neighbor
This policy, enunciated in the last
two notes sent to General Carranza
concerning the situation in the City of
Mexico, was further developed by the
dispatch of communication inform,
ing the Mexican chief that unless the
gunboat Zaragosa was recalled from
it's attempted blockade OF the port Of
Progreso the president of the United
States would be constrained to issue
instructions" to the commander of the
armored cruiser Des Moines ito pre-
vent any interference" with American
ships going to or from that port.
The American note was couched IN
terms as emphatic as the warning con-
corning conditions in the City of Mex
leo, relieved by the evacuation Of OBJ
RECON. 1t set forth that if the Ameri
can cruiser found 1t necessary to take
steps to prevent interference with
American ships such Iolicy should
not be interpreted as having any re-
lation to internal affairs in Mexico"
but Tin the interest of peace and
amity" between the two countries.
Washington.-While conditions in
the City of Mexico have improved
with the food and water supply re.
plenished and the capital placed in or
der by the Villa-Zapata government,
situations fraught with difficulties
for the United States government
have arisen at Progreso, the east
coast port, and at Manzanillo, on the
Pacific.
The American consul at Manzanillo
reports condition of anarchy there
and that Carranza troops are unable
to maintain order. Foreigners are ap-
prehensive, he declares, and the food
supply is decreasing, while Villa-za'
pata troops are investing the towns
approaches. Admiral Howard, com
handing the Pacific fleet, is reported
ready to take foreigners away If con-
ditions do not improve.
Progreso, the port from which vir-
tually all the sisal hemps used for
binding Irvine is shipped, has been or
dered closed to foreign commerce by
General Carranza. The United States
cruiser Des Moines is at Progreso un.
der orders to see that there is no in,
reference with American commerce.

Some indications Of the wearing
effects of the long fight were coming
out in the Senate. however, and SEN
ator Reed, one of the administration
Democrats, proposed an order for the
arrest OF all the absentees; in short
he proposed to bring everyone of the
ninety-six senators into the chamber
and keep them there until the bill
was disposed OF. His proposal drew
a roaring attack and gave prospect
of furnishing material for; an all
days debate. Meanwhile the ship
purchase bill itself was waiting
practically where it has been for the
last two weeks.
At noon the Senate had been In
session "a hours and Senator Kern,
the Democratic leader, was declaring

stout in their declarations that there
would be no more breathing spells
and no let up until the deadlock was
broken, At that hour every member
of the body was on the floor except
Senator Lewis, who, i'll. was sleepicg
