WILSON TO EDIT FAMINE STORIES
President to Blue Pencil Red Cross
Reports of Conditions in Mexico.

uSpOFSS " SVbW0sSNOuS III HSN'SS'
Washington. July s.-Reports of the
frightful famine conditions IN Mexico
which the American Red Cross is re-
ing to the public here, are SO displeas-
ing to the administration that efforts
are being made to suppress them.
The stories of starvation and distress
among the Mexican people are so
heartrending that they are likely to
stir the deepest sympathies of the
American people and start movement
for definite action with which it will
be beyond the power of the adminis-
tration to cope.
Wilson Fears Complications.
President Wilson desires to head Of
the further. dissemination of these re-
ports before they cause any more trou-
Bile for his Mexican policy. With this
end in view he has as honorary presi-
dent Of the American Red Cross caused
communication to be sent to Miss
Mabel Boardman and its other officers
advising them not too send out any
further, reports concerning famine con-
ditions in Mexico unless they are first
approved by the state department OF
other responsible government autho-
rites.
One OF the messages received by the
Red Cross today was from Stephen
Bonsal the newspaper and magazine
correspondent, who is familiar with
Mexico and Mexicans. He says:
! After six days journey OF about
500 miles through northern Mexico, In
Guiding large parts of the states OF
Nuevo Leon and Tamauipas, l am
compelled to state that famine condi-
tions existing there have been UNDER
stated rather than exaggera ted"
U. S. Seeks Source Of Reports.
It was announced today at the
White House that an investigation IS
under way to discover the sources OF
informa ation which the Red Cross mas
in Mexico. At the same time 1t was
intimated that the administration Of
ficials have reason to believe that the
Red Cross agents who have been sent
to that country to distribute food to
the starving population have been
misled by men of the Cientif1co party
who are inspired by Interior motives.
These persons, according to high OF
f1cials in the administration, have been
working for years to get the uniteo
States to occupy: Mexico. They rep
resent the money interests and those
who have obtained valuable conces-
sions from the Porfrio Diaz and Ma
dero administrations. They believe the
safety Of their huge possessions VIII

Queenston, Ont, July S.-Ten per-
sons were killed and score injured
Wednesday evening when a trolley car
on the International railways line
Jumped the track at curve on the

and two Of the injured, one Of them a
girl of 16, died while being carried
from the car to an ambulance at Mia
CARA Falls. Passengers said that the
car seemed to buckle in the. center be-
fore II left the rails. The car was
virtually in two sections when 1t
stopped.
owing to the inaccessibilty OF the
spot there was d long delay in getting
the dead and injured into Queenston
and Niagara Falls. Special cars were
rushed from both ends of the line. The
more seriously injured We're taken to
the general hospital at Niagara Falls,
ans, those who could be moved after
receiving first aid were carried on
board the Toronto steamer which was
held at the dock.
conductor George Caswell was
among the few who escaped unhurt.
Realizing that he could give little as
s.stance to the injured he ran to
o,eenston. general call for help
was sent out in the village and word
was telephoned to the main office OF
the company at Niagara Falls. Ont
Relief cars were started from both
ends of the line, carrying ALI the doc
tors who could be reached. as well as
soldiers who had been on guard at
the bridge.

INDIAN Y. NJ. G. AS.

OF the 100000 Indians in the United
States only one-third can be truly termed
Christians. 1t is evident that American
Christianity is not effectively reaching its
Indian population. This neglect of the
Indians need of an anchorag e-when he
has lost faith in his old gods and has neen
carried from old moorings by the wave OF
our frontier vilization-accounts largely
for what we now term our "Indian prob
lem"
We have today a hundred reservation
Young Mems Christian Associations, with
a membership of over $500 young men.
These associations are largely supervised
by a native board of directors. The Assoc
Citations support their own field secretary,
and are paying the salary of native secre-
tary in India-the first foreign missionary
supported by our American Indians.
This movement has spread over the border
into Canada carried there by Indian young
men, and today there are some two hundred
members in a half-dozen Associations in
Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Already the
impact of this Christian Association move
,ment in the Indian student-bodies is being
felt. Student Christian Associations are
increasingly becoming great recruiting cen
tiers for native leadership for the evangeli-
cation of the race.
