ALLIES POLICY MODIFIED
NeutraIs May Trade With Each Other
But Not With Germany.

Washington, March 9.-The details
of a tempo; airy arrangement made i
London between the British govern
ment and representatives of American
cotton shippers whereby cotton may
be shipped to neutral countries under
certain conditions were communicate
ed to the state department by Sir
Cecil Spring-Rice, British ambassador
Great Britain declares, however, that
cotton cannot proceed to Germany
and Austria.
The agreement is regarded as an
indication of what may be expected
under the new policy of the allies. Ii
puts into immediate effect a virtual
blockade Of Germany. The statement
was made that the coming orders in
council will secure to all neutrals full
freedom OF trade with one another
and that in this respect the new policy
will in effect be less severe on neu-
trails than a formal blockade of all
Germany's means of internal and out
let would be.
Mr. Bryan declared that the latest
communication TO the British and
French governments on the subject
of their proposed interference with
trade with Germany would not be
made public by the state department
at this time. The department recog-
nizes that the belligerent governments
are confronted by a delicate situation
and does not desire to embarrass
them by making public any proposals
to which they may be giving consider
alton.

FIGHT ON, SAYS GOVERNOR
Pennsylvania Chief Starts Battle Be-
tween Pro and Anti Liquor Men.

Harrisburg, Pa, March 9.-The
greatest fight between liquor and anti
liquor forces in the history of Penn
sylvania was started by Governor
Martin G. Brumbaugh when he re
turned from Philadelphia.
THE fight is on, he said. 1T is
not a question Of a member of the
legislature voting to represent a dis
trict. A legislator is a sworn officer
of the commonwealth. He should
obey the will of the commonwealth
and not hide behind local conditions"
Representative Brumbaugh of Blair,
a cousin OF the governor, introduced
q bill which would prevent the tax
ing or transporting of liquor into any
township. borough, town, ward, city
or county where there is no licensed
house. The penalty is imprisonment
for one year or fine of $500.
Representative Samuel J. Barnett
of York would prohibit treating. The
retailer and his bartenders would be
responsible for the enforcement OF the
law.

MEXICO CITY TO
Be LEFT TO MOB
ObregOn Intends TO Take Forces
From Capital j.
PILLAGING ALREADY Started

est Note Possible Outside Of Armed (
Force and 1t Is Believed by Officials
That Conditions viii Be Changed.
Oregon Encourages Poor Classes
to Attack Foreigners.
Washington, March 9.-Mexico City
is about to be evacuated by the Car
rama forces. Abandonment OF the
capital by General Obregon may oc-
cur at any moment. Official advices
to this effect were received at the
state department.
These dispatches disclose as i'm
minent the abandonment OF Mexico
City to the mercy Of mob rule.
Desultory pillaging already has be
gun and it is feared that when the
protection of the O0regon troops is
removed the lowest characters will
proceed TO plumber the city.
Estimates received at the state de-
partment give the number OF Ameri-
cans in Mexico City as $500; Ger
mans, 1900; Chinese, 1900; Turks,
1000; French, 1900 Spaniards, 12,-
OOO; Cubans, 1900; English, 1000;
Italia.s, 7G0; japanese, 5O0 and other
nationalities. 500.
Secretary Daniels announced that
the cruiser Tacoma had been ordered
from Haytien waters to the Mexican
i,,
all probability the battleship Della
ware, now the only battleship on the
east coast of Mexico, would join the
fleet in Cuban waters soon. Other
warships there are small craft, the
Sacramento, Des Moines and Petrol.
Mr. Daniels declared that no general
movement of warships 30 the Mexican
coast was contemplated at this time.
The chief demands made upon Car
rama are that communication between
Mexico City and Vera Cruz be kept
open for general traffic, particularly
passenger travel.
The latest representation to Car
rama go as far as it is possible with
out actually threatening the use of
force.
Because Carranza has not answered
these representations definitely the
state department refuses to assume
thai it is the intention OF Carranz
and Obregon to leave Mexico City
without military or police protection
of any sort. Officials take the stand
thai it is due Carranza to assume
that he will arrange for some sort of
protection of the city until it is dem
onstrated that such is not his inten-
ton.
Since Obregon has been in charge
of Mexico City thousands have been
thrown out OF employment and are
now destitute; the scarcity of food
has become an acute problem, bring
ing into existence large numbers Of
hungry. General Obregon has issued
statements inviting the suffering to
blame the selfish foreigners" for
their present condition and giving
notice that he would not use his
troops to stop them if they should I'M
dertake to seize from the rich the
necessities of life.
How soon Villa or Zapata force
can occupy Mexico City after its
abandonment by the Carranza forces
is matter of uncertainty here. 1t
is believed Zapata is in a position to
take the capital more quickly than is
Villa, The Constitutional lists assert
that when Obregon leaves it will be
to move forth against the Villa and
Zapata forces so that occupation of
the city by either one Of these forces
may be delayed indefinitely.

A Serious Problem.

The optimistic feeling here is en-
haaced by the political effect which
the allied successes appear to have
had on the Balkan states. Sofia dis
patches indicated that Bulgarian dip
lomats are eager to convince the
allies that the mobilization was not
" ompted by hostile motives. The
latest official Petrograd news is inter-
preted here as showing that the Rus
slams are distinctly in a better posi-
ton. This seems true even in the
Dvinsk region, where Won Hinden-
burg has concentrated his efforts.
The German attack now seems slack
ening. Notwithstanding the allies
successes England is not blind to the
fact that it will be no light task to
attempt to push the Germans from
their positions honeycomhed with
trenches. Now that the allies have
passed to the offensive they have be-
fore them a problem the serious ma
ture of which is fully recognized
here.
