NOT ENOUGH CHILDREN

ever receive the proper balance OF food
to sufficiently nourish both body and
brain during the growing period when
natures demands are greater than In
mature life. This is shown in so many
pale faces, lean bodies, frequent colds,
and lack of ambition.
For all such children we say with
unmistakable earnestness: They need

WILSON STUDYING
+. MEXICAN QUESTION
DRASTIC MEASURES MAY BE
NECESSARY TO PROTECT
MEXICO CITY.
REFUSES THE AID OF ALLIES
But Virtually Tells the Starving Peo-
. pie to Help Themselves to Any
thing in Sight.

Washington. President Wilson
faced one of the most serious and
perplexing developments that has
arisen in the Mexican situation. Mex
ice City is on the verge of starvation
General Obregon the Carranza com
mander, refuses to permit an interna-
tional relief committee, composed CT
wealthy members of the foreign col
ony to succor the needy. Mexico
needs no foreign aid" the general is
reported to have said.
All merchants who closed their
stores have been ordered to reopen.
Three hundred Of them, Mexicans,
have been imprisoned. The popula-
ton Is In terror since Obregon has
announced he will not prevent loot
ing or pillaging for food or money.
The Brazilian, British, Spanish
and Italian ambassadors give the
state department pessimistic reports
of the situation, which correspond to
reports already received.
Secretary Bryan announced that
he had telegraphed American Consul
Stillman to lay the situation earnest
ly before General Carranza, so that
General Obregon might be directed
to accept aid proffered by foreign resi-
dents. Freight service is suspended
| between Mexico City and Vera Cruz
and transportation facilities for reliet
purposes are being withheld by Gen
eral Obregon on the ground Of mill
! tary necessity.
President Wilson was advised o
all the facts. He was said to b.
studying the situation closely. Should
General Obregon continue to refus'
outside air, drastic measures may b
necess ery Talk of an allied expedi
ton similar to the one that went t
the relief Of foreign legations at Pc
king during the Boxer uprising wa
heard again IN Official quarters.

PROTEST MADE TO ALLIES
IF 1T is INTENTION TO INTER-
RUPT COMMERCE WITHOUT
DECLARING BLOCKADE.
United States VIII Ask Great Britain
How They Intend to Carry Out
Their Policy.

Washington.-While President Will
son indicated that the United States
would inquire of Great Britain and
carry out their announced determina-
tion to prohibit commercial inter-
course by sea with Germany, such
action, 1t was stated later, probably
would be deferred until replies were
received from Great Britain and Ger
many to the American proposals look
ing to a cessation of the German sub
marine warfare on merchant ships
and unrestricted passage of foodstuffs
to civilian populations of the belliger-
ent nations.
Germany's reply. as described in
press dispatches, created a favorable
impression here but until the text is
received no official comment will be
made.
Great Britain's reply will depend to
some extent on the attitude Of her
Allies. There have been official init
nations however, that she would fiat
ly reject the proposal for the shipment
of foodstuffs and conditional contra
band to Germany.
The Anglo-French note outlining
the Allies intention to stop all com
n1erceL between Germany and neutral
countries occupied the attention Of Of
fetal Washington. President Wilson
told inquirers he could not define the
attitude of the American government
because he had not thoroughly di
gested the contents Of the communi
cation. He pointed out that the note:
merely had denied a policy to be pur
sued without stating the means of it
enforcement. To make this clear fo
| the United States, the president add
! ed, might necessitate further CORE
| spondence with Great Britain an,
| France
The president made clear his belle
| that while the conditions of war Nigh
have changed, no nation had right t
! change the rules of war. From thi
! it was inferred that the American gov
| ernment would insist on position fre
| quently expressed by it's officials, tha
whatever might be violations of tn
| customs of war as between bellfgel
ents, this could not affect the statu
of international law as between tn
United States and countries wit
which she is at peace.
