Washington, March Q. General
Carranza has been informed in a note
from the United States government
that unless there is an Improvement
in conditions with respect to foreign
ers and their interests in Mexico ter
ritory under his control such steps as
may be necessary will be taken by
the American government to obtain
the deeired protection. The note Is
the strongest and most emphatic docu-
ment that has been sen. by the Wash
ington government to Mexico since
the correspondence with Huerta a year
ago. Carranza is warned that the
United States Las viewed with deep
concern the growing complaints made
by foreigners generally against his ad-
ministration affairs and, now, in ef-
feet. demands an early change.
The contents of the communication
were revealed to several of the am
bassadors and ministers here, who ex-
pressed satisfaction at its urgent Ian
guage. Some regarded it as an entire
change of policy toward Mexico on the
part OF the United States. American
Consul Silliman should have presented
the note to Carranza Monday. copy
of it was sent TO the Brazilian min
lister at Mexico City to be shown to
Gen. Obregon, CarraDza commander.
In the meantime, some movements
of American warships have been or
dered, the effect of which will be
naval demonstration such as, 1t is
hoped by some officials, will convince
General Carranza of the determination
of the American government to OBJ
tain change in conditions in Mexico
City.
A New Orleans dispatch says Car
rama officials at Campeche have
seized the British steamship Wyvis-
brook and thrown the commander,
Captain Muir, in prison.
Secretary Daniels conferred with
President Wilson over the prospect oil
sending additional ships to Vera Cruz.
Only one vessel, the battleship Della
ware, has been at Vera Cruz for sew
eral weeks, but five warships will be
in that vicinity in few days. 1t had
been planned to send the Delaware to
Guantanamo soon to join the Atlantic
fleet in its spring maneuvers.
As a result of the latest develop
ments the Delaware will remain at
Vera Cruz indefinitely; the cruiser Ia
coma left Port au Prince Haiti, under
orders to proceed at once to Vera
Cruz; the gunboat Petrol already is en-
route from Mobile, Ala, and the
cruiser Des Moines is bound from Pro
greso to Vera Cruz. while the gunboat
Sacramento is at Tampico.
Asked whether the United States in
tended to use physical force to obtain
compliance with its request, Secre-
tary Bryan replied that nothing had
been decided upon yet beyond repre-
sentations," and that it was best to
meet situations ''as they arose"

Washington. March 11.-President
Wilson was stunned by the news
that an American ship carrying grain
was sunk by the German cruiser Prinz
Eitel Friederich which made port for
repairs at Newport News Tuesday.
State Department officials would
make no announcement, but the ac-
ton of Germany In sinking a ship car
rying grain was outside all interna-
tional law precedents, 1t was declared.
The German cruiser, after com
merce-destroying cruise over the Pa
cific and Atlantic oceans of fifteen
thousand miles landed for repairs.
She brought with her rescued crews
and passengers of American, British,
French and Russian ships, and lay at
anchor in a state of mechnical ex-
huston from the strain of a Fifteen
thousand-mile voyage.
The cruiser began her scouting for
ships of enemies of the Fatherland at
Tsing-Tau, China, last November, un-
der Commander Thierichens, wko ad-
mitted sinking of eight merchant
ships-three British, three French,
one Russian and one American. The
sinking of the American ship-the
William p. Frye, a sailing vessel
bound from Seattle to Queenstown
with $500 tons of wheat-in the South
Atlantic concerned American officials.
Collector Hamilton said last night
it was obvious that the Eitel Frieder-
ich would intern here.
Commander Thicrichens told the
collector he had no idea of leaving
port within "a hours; that the boilers
of his vessel were in bad condition
and that repairs under six weeks
would be impossible, He said under
these conditions the vessel would be
interned unless permission could be
had to remain until repairs made.
Two English vessels carrying horses
for the armies of the allies at first
hesitated about leaving port. but when
it became evident the German would
not depart at once, they put to sea.
The owners of the destroyed ship
Frye took out policy for $11,5 800 with
the government war risk insurance
bureau last October and this may play
n part in determining its status as a
carrier of cargo not subject to seizure.
Under the usual practice of inter
national law as followed in previous
wars battleship can sink neutral
vessel only when she carries contra
band and would in any case be Ger.
tain of condemnation by prize court.
The William p. Frye was owned by
the Arthur Sewall Company. When
overhauled by the German cruiser she
was bound from Seattle to Queens
town with a cargo of wheat The skip
pers wife said she and the children
were frightened when overtaken by
the German cruiser but that her fears
were allayed when she went aboard
the cruiser, the officers and men max
ing every effort to give them all pos
sible comforts.
As soon as the Eitel Friedrich had
anchored here, Collector Hamilton and
aides visited the ship, and firstclass
passengers from the French passen-
ger steamer Floride, together with
the captains of the eight destroyed
vessels, were brought to Newport
News.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
London, March 9-The British and
French fleets have battered their way
step nearer to Constantinople; not.
however, without damage TO the ships
engaged, and the battle royal for the
Dardanelles continues. More Turkish
forts on the Asiatic side have been ST.
fenced. according to a statement by
the British Admiralty, but the Turks
are making a terrific resistance and
the shells from their German-made
guns have found more than one mark
on the besieging craft.
The Admiralty statement carries the
operations through Sunday and admits
that the Turks not only scored three
hits on the Queen Elizabeth but that
practically every ship inside the
straits. both French and British, was
struck. None was sunk, and there
were few casualties according to the
British report
The Turkish official report declares
one French armored cruiser was put
out of action by the fort guns; one
British armored cruiser was badly
damaged and at least twenty ships of
the allied fleet were struck The en-
tire allied fleet was driven off, accord
ing to the Turkish report.
This struggle for the gateway of the
Ottoman capital is at present the big
feature of the war news and closely
linked with this is the sustained ex-
citemen. in Greece incident to the res
ignation of the cabinet of NJ. VeniZe-
los, who, deeming Greece's entry into
the hostilities on the side of the triple
entente imperative, could not agree
with his King, and resigned. The re-
tiring premier, according to Athens
dispatches, plans to leave for rest
From the number of ships engaged
and the size and range of the guns
the battle of the Dardanelles is unlike
anything in history.
No great activity has been reported
on the Eastern front except at Rawa,
to the southwest of Warsaw, where
German army headquarters claim the
capture of 3,4OO Russians.
London-La Touraine, one cf the
ers, was afire at latitude 4So O6' north
and longitude 2Oo IL west, according
to a statement issued at the British
naval headquarters Saturday, and it Is
said all evidence indicates that the
ship was set afire by German spy,
in all probability a German officer,
who was among the passengers.
A further message, from the steam
ship La Touraine, received at Queens
town, says the steamer Rotterdam is
standing by, prepared to render every
assistance, including the transfer of
passengers if necessary. Wireless
messages have been sent out to the
steamers Arabic, Cornishman, Swan
more ard Stratford, saying that their
assistance is not now required. Sun
day, the fire was under CONTROL and
the ship proceeded to port

Washington, March 10-Warning to
Americans to leave Mexico has been
reiterated by the State Department
through the Brazilian minister at
Mexico City.
Secretary Bryan said the United
States government would do what it
could toward providing transportation
Tor those who wanted to leave.
American Consul General Silliman
teleSraphed from Vera Cruz that he
had been reliably informed that the
evacuation of Mexico City by the forces
of Gen. Obregon began at 9 o'clock

announced that telegram had been
received stating that Zapata forces
had occupied Mexico City Tuesday and
had begun repairing the railroad north
ward, and would bring food to the suf-
fering thousands.
Gen. CarranZa has made prelimi-
nary reply to the American repre-
sentations, denying generally the ex-
istence OF conditions in Mexico City
which the United States has called
upon him to improve. In statement
made orally to American Consul Silli-
man at Vera Cruz the Mexican chief
denied that Gen. Obregon, his com
mander in Mexico City, had prevented
food from reaching the Mexican capi-
tai or that he had sent supplies away.
Meanwhile, however, orders went
forward to Rear Admiral Fletcher,
rny lin Of
Guantanamo, to send two more battle
ships to Vera Cruz.
Silliman reported at length but Off
cials did not disclose the contents of
his message.

Vera Cruz saying the Ameican note
was formally presented to Gen. Car
rama Monday afternoon, arrived Just
before the Cabinet meeting Tuesday
and were laid before President Will
son as the Cabinet officers assembled
After the Cabinet meeting it was
said that the sending of the additional
war ships to Vera Cruz was the only
move contemplated at present.
Secretary Daniels said the Washing
ton>and Georgia had no orders other
than to proceeded to that port at once.
Secretary Garrison said no army move
ments were in contemplation Secre-
tary Daniels said the ships at Guam
tanamo had plenty of marines on
board.
After the conference Secretary Dan
iels ordered one cruiser and one bat
tleship to Vera Cruz. Admiral Fletch-
er selected the armored cruiser Wash
ington, now in Haitien waters, with
Rear Admiral Coperton, and the battle
ship Georgia. commanded by Capt.
Robert e. Coontz. to proceed to Vera
Cruz.

Many farmers make a serious mis-
take in teaching calf to drink in
starting out with total defiance OF
the laws of nature. The natural man
ner for "A calf TO draw it's sustenance
is TO hold it's head up. The first thing
TO do is 10 teach il TO hold its head
down. The best way to do this is to
dig a hole i'm the ground and stand the
calf on its head for three days. This
makes il tractable and takes away
that spirit of defiance that all calves
have i'm state Of nature.
The calf will also be hungry, so you
can begin with "A far more assurance
than i'm the old way. Assurance is
one of the greatest attributes a man
can have when starting out to feed a
calf Without this virtue he is apt TO
be vacillating and undecided. The calf
knows this and hence his obstinacy
IL you have your best clothes on it
will be best TO remove them while
feeding the calf: that is, if YOU have
others that you can don pro tenn
Approach the calf with determine
ton and energy. catch it by the right
ear and swing the left foot over it's
back The calf should stand still
while you are doing this for much
depends on the first impression that
you make on the mind of the calf. or
course a calf cannot reason. but he
can change his mind and this is a very
critical time if he should do so.
Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1915-06-02

Should you succeed i'm getting the foot
over the calf's back the next thing is
TO try and see If IL will hold it's head
down. If il does the calf is sick and
you should begin to doctor it.
Most anything is good for "A sick
calf and IL does not require an expert
To attend To il as the calf will die
anyhow. But if ii is not sick the next
thing will be to insert the fingers i'm
it's mouth and see II IL will suck. Per-
haps IL won't, and is this case rub its
gullet Nothing pleases hungry calf
more than TO have it's gullet rubbed
After it begins TO suck, wet your
fingers i'm the milk The calf always
likes this better than To suck the dry
fingers, and il will then begin To bunt.
Don't pay any attention To this as il
is nothing but natures effort and we
should always assist nature where we
can do so without material injury 10
ourselves. The calf viii doubtless
hump it's back up and stand you on
your head about this time, but never
mind, it may be the making of the
calf
II you have followed these sugges-
tions closely YOU are by this time ia a
frame of mind suitable To cope with the
calf on a perfect equality and can now
wade in and catch il by whatever part
is nearest TO you. The calf is tired
out, too. probably by this time SO il
will drink if you pick it up and souse
its head into the milk up TO its ears
and hold il there few minutes.
The calf is the only animal that can
eat and drink and breathe, all at once
with its head i'm the milk over it's ears
1t is well 10 remember this;no calf
was ever drowned in milk yet, al
though il has been tried "A thousand
times.
