public safety, organized in Port au
Prince, Haiti. has taken charge of the
capital and is conducting the de facto
government After a conference with
American naval officers and the Amer

The gunboat Nashville was ordered
from San Domingo to Cape Haitien

The United Stotes has been consid-
ering some move which would give

thought probable that before with
drawing it's forces the United States
government will renew it's efforts to
negotiate a treaty with Haiti for the
administration of the customs as in
Santo Domingo, with a provision in
corporated similar to the Platt
amendment In the Cuban treaty
whereby the United States would have
the right to intervene in the event of
disorders.

GERMANS READY
TO enter CITY
Russian Abandonment of
Warsaw Is Near.
HOPE TO SAVE THE ARMY
Russians Say Further Resistance Is
UnWise and Will Try to Keep
Forces lntact-Means Serious Blow
to Anti-Germsn Allies.

10 AntI-German Allies.
London, July 31.-Warsaw, the
third city of Russia and the goal for
which the German armies in the east
have been striving at since October,
is at last in the throes of abandon
ment.
Germans in overwhelming numbers
are at the gates of the Polish CAPT
tai and dispatches both from the city
itself and from Petrograd say that
further resistance would be unwise.
Discounted not only through France
and Great Britain but in Russia itself
the fall of the city is expected hourly
and the problem now is TO move the
Russian armies intact, threatened as
they are from the south by the Aus
tro-Germans and more seriously from
the north, where the German forces,
which have swept through Poland,
are aiming at the railway from War
saw to Petrograd.
This latter menace, the British
press admits, is imminent, and the
hope in the allied countries now is
not for the safety of Warsaw but for
continued cohesion of the Russian
army.
The Warsaw postoffice already has
been shifted to some point to the
eastward the populace has been
warned TO remain calm and presum-
ably for some days Russian troops
have been stripping the city of every
thing of military value.
Plan TriumphaI Entry.
German aviators are lowering over
the city and, according to German ad-
vices, plans have been completed for
the triumphant entrance of the Ger
man emperor. accompanied by his
consort.
With Warsaw captured, whether or
not it proves a conquest of lasting
strategic advantage, a great wave of
enthusiasm will sweep over Germany
and Austria Hungary and it is pre-
dicted here that the armies of the
central powers will seek then to force
a period OF trench warfare in the East,
meanwhile throwing great weight
of men and guns to the West, with
the idea Of resuming the battering to-
wards Calais and perhaps toward
/ Paris.
The British public is so little i'm
pressed with the events in the East

ter of munitions. in a speech. appar-

Food Blockade Killing Res
identS of Mexico City.
CONDITIONS GROW WORSE
Head of American Red Cross Pic
lures Situation in Capital as More
Chaotic Than Ever-Washinato
Sends Warming to Zapata.

Washington, July 31.-Representa-
tions were sent by the state depart
ment to General Zapata, by way of
Mexico City. regarding the reported
assault by Zapata soldiers on Allan
Mallory, an American citizen, near
Puebla. The communication inquir-
ed as to responsibility for the attack
and asked protection in the future.
The message followed closely the
representations to Carranza, Villa
and Zapata, asking in the name of
humanity that railroad communica-
tion to Mexico City be opened to
provision trains.
The dispatch of the notes followed
the receipt by Secretary Lansing of
a communication from the American
Red Cross sent by Charles j. OConnor.
in charge of the Red Cross relief
work in Mexico City. He pictured
conditions In the Mexican capital as
more chaotic than ever. People are
actually dying of starvation, despite
the fact that they have the money
with which to buy food.
Definite Demand to Follow.
The action of the United States is
forerunner of a more definite step
in the near future in the form of a
final demand that the heads of the
warning factions settle their differ.
ences and restore peace in the south
ern republic.
Secretary Lansing said late advices
indicated there had been fighting
along the railroad, but that the re-
ported occupation of Pachuca by Car.
rama forces, and also of villa de
Guadalupe, close to Mexico City, in
dicated ii soon would be possible to
get provision trains into the capital.
In view of the fact that General
Gonzales, the federal commander, an.
nounced before evacuating the CAPT
tai that provision trains would have
right of way. il is believed that Car
rama will direct that to be done.
A message from Vera Cruz to the
state department said Carranza forces
expected to return to Mexico City
and reassume charge OF the govern.
ment there at once.
