New York, March 6.-The attack

when we looked q great white

Should General Obregon continue to
refuse outside aid drastic measures
might be necessary. in the view of
foreign diplomats. The situation Is
described by them as more intolerable

For that reason there Is talk of an

For the present the outcome of the
telegraphic correspondence with Gen.
eral Carranza will be awaited. Hither-
to he has been reported az standing by
all the activities of Obregon, whose
purpose is reported to be to force the
lower classes to enlist in the Carranza.
army or starve.
All sorts of wild rumors are afioat
in Mexico City due to the incendiary
utterances of Obregon, who. in news
paper interviews, has practically sane
toned plunder for food. General
Carranza has been asked by the
American government to instruct
Obregon to take some measures to
protect lives and property of foreigners
in the event of evacuation.
The people fear the water supply may
be shut off and the electric light cables
may be cut thus leaving the capital in
darkness at night and permitting the
irresponsible element to commit wanton
depredations.
Mystery is 800 Arrests.
Why the 900 merchants were impris-
oned has not been revealed. They were
reported to have appealed to Obregon
for relief from a heavy tax which he
imposed.
Secretary Bryan said that so far as
the state department had been advised
all Mexican priests arrested for failure
to contribute funds demanded by
Obregon were still in prison.
The international relief committee
which raised about 250,000 pesos. was
not permitted to aid the poor, say Of
fetal dispatches, because Obregon de-
clined to accept funds restricted to any
definite use.
