the order came to move out, none were
more displeased over II than the PEG,
pie OF Vera Cruze.
All OF the members OF the regiment
with whom l talked stated that IN
their opinion the government made a
rank mistake when they withdrew the
army after having sent II in there. II
was a trivial excuse when the soldiers
were sent there In the first place and
once having taken possession, they
should have stuck until peace was re-
stored to Mexico.
In a talk had with one OF the
officers at the fort he stated frankly
that his opinion and that OF the en-
tire army Is that this nation must i'm
teryene. ! asked my informant II he
was not OF the opinion that II woulc
be a difiicult task TO entirely pacify
Mexico and he replied that II the
plans which he understood the war
department had in mind were follow
ed he thought IL would be a compare
lively easy task.
AS understand it, said he THE
plan is to smother Mexico with troops
IL we have to go there at all; at least
100000 men will be required to do the
work quickly and effectually"
said to him, I'VE have not that
many troops or anywhere near that
number"
He smiled and replied, I'VE can get
all the troops we want" said, Eyes,
raw troops that will be OF no use to
you" and he replied, I'VE don't want
the raw troops to fight. All We want
them to do is to follow up and police
what we get. There are regulars
enough to do the fighting. which. in
my opinion, will be guerilla, sniping
warfare like we had in the Philippines.
We will lose number OF men, prob
ably, but IL will not be war as we

TYPHOID FEVER CONTROLLED

Three years ago the field men OF
the Geological Survey, as we'll as
some OF the Office force. took advan-
tage OF the OFFER of the War Depart
ment to supply official antiyphoid SER
um, and practically the entire force OF
men was inoculated Since that time
as far as reported, there has been no
serious case OF typhoid fever among
those inoculated. Two cases OF typhoid
among the topographic engineers in
dictate the great effectiveness OF this
incubation. In both these cases the
men simply felt "off feed" for couple
or three days and refused to go on the
sick list; in fact typhoid would not
have been suspected in either case ex-
cept that in one OF them somebody
suggested the possibility. and an ex-
haustive hospital examination, blood
test, etc, showed that the engineer
had a theoretically well-developed
case OF typhoid, the practical results
OF which. however. failed to incapaci-
tate him for duty, so that he did not
even go to bed for one day.

The sea was very rough and the

through the crowds. They bore dis
patch bearers with messages from
Italian commanders already at the
front or carried officers speeding for
the railway stations to join their regi-
ments from Milan, Florence, Naples.
Genoa and Venice came reports Of
similar demonstrations. The interior
towns heard rumors all day of frontier
clashes and naval battles in the Adri-
attic and poured telegraphic inquiries
into Rome.
Issuance OF the mobilization order
was interpretered as virtual act Of
war. 1t was pointed out in diplomatic
circles that formal declarations of
hostilities came from Paris and Ber-
lin last August within less than three
hours after mobilization orders were
published.
Baron Won Macchio arrived at the
foreign Office before the mobilization
orders were promulgated, presumably,

on their way to the United STATES
have been held up also.
Three days ago the foreign traC
advisors were notified by the BRUSH
embassy late at night that notlhca-
ton had been received from TIE Btu
fsh Office extending until jule 10 uh-
der which advantage could be taken
under the British former Offer and al
nouncing the United States shcui an
nouncB its extension. No acceptlon
had been made to such ext ,ns!cn ana
the voluntary act caused surprise anu
aroused suspicion. The counsellor OF
the state department was consulted.
He pointed out that the original mod
ifcation of April 3 contained no time
limit. 1t was accepted only unofhcial-
w and informally. The counsellor
said if there was any official diplo-
matte extension now, 1t would carry
with it acceptance or the oruer III
councils principle.
THE British embassy was INFORM
ed that the American position was un.
changed Almost Immediately tue
british foreign Office issued the claim
that the United States had accepteo
the arrangements made by the en-
bassy for disposing of cargoes sent
before prize courts. This the state
was compelled to repud-
late.
.Inasmuch as the embassy here
places the entire blame upon the Lon
don foreign Office, there was nothing
for this government to do but to sus-
pend unofficial negotiations and put
the matter up to the state department.
THE department will now, 1t Is
likely, directly address the British
foreign office through Ambassador
Page and not only reaft1rm the orig
NAL protest against the order In coun-
ell, but demand that American owned
goods be permitted
transit wherever consigned, without
other than what is recog-
lized by international law under
ega1 blockade.
In many respects the case parai-
els the one in dispute with Germany,
except that this time American goods
and not American lives are involved.
British Developments tonight over
,hadowed interest in the German re
Div. Officials continued optimistic,
saving they believed Germany Will
;end such an answer to the wilson
note as will prove acceptable to the
United States, in the main.
Germany is expected to agree to
President wilson's demands which al
ect the honor of the United States.
Americans right to go where they
will is not expected to be challenged,
out Germany also Is expected to IN
list on her right OF reprisal against
Ter enemies.
It was said at the state department
hat 1t was thoushr the reply would
,e handed to Ambassador Gerard, in
Berlin, probably Tuesday.

A ministerial crisis in England

of endangering the success Of Great
Pritains military operations. He is
charged with directing the war in ac-
cord with principles he learned while
fighting against Africans and East
