Story Is Told

NEW YORK, March 25.--A refugee
from Mexico City. Mrs. Mary Bur-
ton Peredo. British woman, arriy-
ed in this city yesterday with q
thrilling tale of flight ON the floor of
troop car. and surrounded by pieces
OF hand baggage to protect them
from bullets fired AT them by Zapa-
ia soldiers.
So deadly was the fire of the Ia
pata bands that much OF the luggage
of Mrs. Peredo was pierced by bull
lets. The windows of the train were
barricaded with blankets, bedding
and personal wearing apparel, but
even this did not stop the bullets
from piercing the car, which was
filled with wounded men, escaping
women and children.
Mrs. Peredo, whose husband held
q high position in the government,
was one of the last TO leave Mexico
City. She started on March 2, but
did not arrive in Vera Cruz until the

quires less than ten hours.

London, Dec 1.-THE enrolment of
volunteers under Lord Derby's plan
for immediate and future military SER
vice could not be completed Saturday
on account of the numbers crowding
the enlistment offices throughout the
kingdom at the 18th hour. Therefore,
the war Office announced the extension
Of the time until midnight Sunday,
with a possible further extension to
midnight Wednesday.
Recruiting continued Sunday. and if
the numbers of the past two days are
kept up, the total enlistment for the
last three days will probably equal the
total for any preceding three weeks.
The process of enlistment was at
tended by picturesque and enthusiastic
gatherings Bands and orators. both
official and voluntary, from military
and civil life had been busy. The key
note of the speeches had been that
Britons should show the world that
free men are able and willing to de-
fend their country without compul-
sion.
After the enrolment is completed the
war office will be obliged to segregate
those engaged in government work and
those Indispensable TO the industries.

MIL. LIONS Are RECRUITING
Under LORD DERBy'S PLAN FOR
MILITARY SERVICE IN ENGLAND

A large proportion Of those enrolled
may also be barred by the medical Of
ficers because the examinations OF the
past two days have been for the most
pare superficial, and, in many instances
dispensed with altogether. the medical
officers being unable to keep up with.
the enrollments.
There is no information at present
regarding the number Of new recruits.
but the trade union leaders tonight con-
fidently declared that the Derby cam
paign was a success. The last census
gave the number of men in England,
Scotland and Wales between the ages
of Is and 40 years as 100000. nearly
half of whom were single. The gen.,
eral understanding has been that about
5000, 900 entered the army before Lord
Derby's recruiting began and IT is be-
lieved that between so and 80 per cent
of the remainder have presented them
selves for attestation.
From this total must be deducted,
three classes-the physically unht,i
those engaged in other necessary call
ings, such as railroading, mining, ship
ping and farming whose numbers can
not be approximately estimated except
by the officials.

Is Third Holdup

New York, Dec. 12-The steamship
San Juan Of the New York and Porto
Rico Line, was held up and searched
by French cruiser while the steam
er was bound from New Orleans to
San Juan, Porto Rico, according to
message received by the line Satur-
day.
Two second class passengers were
removed. The San Juan flies the Amer
lean dag.
The San Juan is the third vessel of
this line held up within the past five
days, the Coamo and the Carolina hav-
ing been searched off Porto Rico this
week.
The passengers removed from the
San Juan We're William Gunthevodt and
Fritsch Lothar. both said to be resi-
dents of NJ Orleans. The San Juan
left New Orleans Saturday and arrived
at San Juan early Saturday.
y message from san Juan to the To-
cal office did not give the exact loca-
tlon where the steamer was searched,
nor the name of the French cruiser.
but il is believed the san Juan was
searched late Friday and probably by
the same cruiser which held up the
Coamo and Carolina. The message also
failed to state whether the cruiser fired
any shots at the San Juan, as was done
in the previous cases.

board left the vessel, believing that if
he attempted TO continue the voyage
to New York he would be taken off by
the French.

FRANCE TO GET A NOTE FROM j. s, !;
VIGOROUS PROTEST AGAINST
ILLEGAL HIGH SEA HOLDuPS'

Washington. Dec IA vigorous pro-
test is being prepared by the state de-
partment against the removal by the
French cruiser Descartes of Germans and
Austrians from the American steamships
Caroline, Coamo and San Juan on the
high seas. The note will contend that
removal of citizens of any nation from
an American vessel on the high seas Is
without legal justification.
The U. S. Claim
It will be asserted In the note, as it
was year ago in protest to France in
the case of August Piepenbrink, that the
men removed were not embodied Sin the
armed forces of the enemy" in the sense
of that term in established international
law. The communication. it was under
stood, probably will declare also that
there is no Justification for the removal
of an enemy subject from neutral YES
sci on the high seas bound to a neutral
port, even if he could properly be re-
garded as a military person. The Trent
case during the Civil War probably will
be cited as precedent.
The state department was not advised
whether any of the Austrians or Ger
mans seized had declared their intention
of becoming American citizens. Infor-
nation on that point is being sought and
should il develop that such is the case
the protest may be even more firm.
The facts in the case already at hand
were summed up in this statement issued
by the department late Saturday:
Departments Statement
The department has received re-
ports from the collector of customs at
san Juan, Porto Rico. Indicating that
three ships of the New York and Porto
Rico line have been stopped on the
high seas and searched by the French
cruiser Descartes. The steamship Car
olne, rorthbound, was stopped six
miles off San Juan and the German
chief steward, named Schade, was TAX
en- off by the boarding officer The
steamer was allowed to proceed north
after delay Of about two hours.
THE steamer Coamo, Southbound,
was stopped about 20 miles off shore
by two shots across her bow and the
following persons taken off by the
boarding; party: j. Luscor Rutter, An
ton r. Dcliorch. Austrians of the en-
CINE room. and II. Kruger, a German
