MEXICANS READ WILSON'S NOTE
Vera Cruz Appears to be Greatly In
terested in Presidents Stand.

Dispatches received at Washing
ton Friday from Vera Cruz say that
the new stand being taken by Presi-
dent Wilson in regard to the necessity
for the warning Mexican chiefs to get
together and allow foodstuffs to be
distributed among the poor and needy
without molestation is being given
great consideration by the members
of the political parties on all sides.
Generous supplies Of corn and
flour are reported to have arrived at
the seaport, which seems to prove
that th, Red Cross society and the
other agencies bent on helping the
starving people are beginning to get
in their work It is stated that these
food supplies will be sold at cost to
the people who are without means to
secure money to get other supplies.
1t is claimed at the Mexican port,
according to the dispatch, that Lar
rama is making every effort to han
die the situation in q way to justify
confidence in his ability to take
charge of the government and that so
far he has successfully done so.

MESSENGER TO TELL BERLIN
AMERICAN SENTIMENT
BERNSTORFF IS ACTIVE
is President Concludes His Note to
Germany Her Ambassador Dis
patches Personal Representative to
Berlin to Lay Real Facts Before
His Homo Foreign Office.

President Wilson has drafted a
note, brief and pointed. to be sent to
Germany asking a definite question
whether the Imperial government in
tends to be guided in the future by
the humane principle embodied IN in
ternational law for the conduct OF
maritime warfare. It will be sub
mitted to the cabinet and dispatched
soon thereafter, before the weekend.
Coincidentally there will start for
Berlin a personal emisSary OF Count
Won Bernstorff, the German ambas-
sador. to lay before Emperor Will
liam and high officials of the German
government the substance Of what
the ambassador learned from Presi-
dent Wilson in his talk, the true
state of public opinion in the United
States toward the German govern
ment and the American point Of view
on submarine warfare.
The ambassador in his interview
with the president, it became known.
said he would send within a day or
two a man of Judgment and breadth
to personally outline the situation to
the German government.
The president made arrangem ents
at Count Won Bernstorff's request for
the safe conduct of the envoy. His
name is not known generally, but
foreign governments already have
given assurances to the United states
that he will not be molested.
The ambassador is understood to
have explained that he has had dlf-
fculty on account of the cable CEN
sorship in making the government
realize the feeling in the United
States. and that erroneous reports
had reached Germany. President
Wilson's emphasis on the fact that
the United States would omit no word

alitted to his government.
The dispatch Of the ambassador s
representative will not .-Tect the
sending of the American govern
ment's rejoinder to the last German
note. though it may delay Germany S

The ambassador plan has caused
him 10 be very hopeful OF the salts
factory outcome Of the delicate sitra-
ton that has arisen. Believing that
his government was uninformed On
the feeling in the United States when
the last note was written in Berlin.
he is said to be confident that Off
cials will now learn important details
that will be of guidance in answering
the American governments new COM
N munication.
Although the president naturally
would not discuss this country's re-
lations with the allies. the ambassa-
dor is said to have been convinced by
his talk with Mr.. Wilson Of his sin
cerity of purpose in upholding the
neutrality of the United States.

GAIN FORTRESS
DRIVE NOT Yet STOPPED
London Says suddenness OF Victory
oyershadovs AL Past Operations
of War--Main Object Of the Great
Thrust of Teutons Has Been
Achieyed-They May Push On.

London reports: With the capture
of Przemysl, accomplished early
Thursday, the Austro-German armies
achieved the mcin object OF the grea'
thrust they commenced against tls
Russians in Western Galicia month
ago.
They have yet to drive the Rus,
slams farther back and establish
themselves in easily defended posi-,
tons, which will enable them TO de-
tach forces for operations agalns'
Italy and the allies in the west.
whether or not they accomplish
this, the Teutonic allies have won
great victory and with a suddenness
which oyershadows all past opera
tons Of the war. 1t YVES only ten
weeks ago that Przemysl fell to the
Russians after q six months invest
ment. which was interrupted for
short time in November by an Aus
trian advance.
With the surrender Of the fortress
there fell into the Russian hands. &C
eording to official reports, one nun
dred and twenty thousand Austrlans
and six hundred guns and an i'm
menss amount Of war material.
Most of the forts. however. had been
DESTROYED b. the Austc:ans. and tn:
is considered in military circles mere
to account for the fact that the fort-
ress succumbed so quickly to the Aus
tro-German attack.
When the Russians captured
PrzemysI they were pressing the Aus
trians across the Carpath!an passes
Then on May three came the news o.
a great Austro-German drive into Ga
licia. Advancing slowly but surel.
and carrying one thousand guns, the
Tsutons compelled the Russians tc
fall back until the Russian line ra1
to the right bank Of the River San
Crossing the river, the Austro-Ger
man forces progressed to the norti
and south Of the fortress, and or
Tuesday Berlin announced that three
forts to the north had been stormeo
while Vienna stated that the railway
between Przemysl and Lemberg was
commanded by Austrian guns
There still was hope IN the aimee
countries, however, that Russian
would hold the Ia
yaders off. but this proved i'll found,
sd and the Russians had to give W
the city, which, earlier in the war
had cost them so dearly to win.
There is no estimate of booty cap
tured, but.it is fairly certain that tht
Russians, having lots OF time, got
away as many men and as much ma
tsrial as possible and destroyed th'
puns and ammunition that remained
It is expected in London that the
yictors will endeavor to push on tc
Lemberg ard even farther.
