MAY USE DISCRETION
ON FLEEING MEXICO
ENJOYS at Capital Receive Instrue-
tons From Powers-New Decree
Adds to Tangle.

Washington, Feb IL. - Practically
all the foreign diplomatic representa-
tives in Mexico City have been in
structed by their governments to use
their own discretion about leaving the
capital, according to an announcement
by Secretary Bryan.
Some of the embassies here under
stand that the diplomats In Mexico
City have an agreement that If they
leave Mexico City they will leave the
coun' y entirely.
The situation has been further COM
plicated by the decree of General Car
rama that none of his subordinate
military chiefs shall discuss diplo-
matte questions.
This deprives the diplomatic corps
at Mexico City of the privilege of deal
ing with General Obregou or the de
facto authorities in Mexico City.
The only alternative held out 70
them for discussing diplomatic mat
ters with the Carranza government is
a visit to Vera Cruz. which they are
unwilling to make. lest it be construed
as formal recognition.

GERMANY TURNS
DOWN PROTEST
Kaiser Calls Relations Between
Countries STRAINED"
WILSON MAY SOLVE PROBLEM
American Reply to Refusal to Safe
guard Neutral Vessels Reiterates
Objection 10 "BIockade" Of
British Isles.

Washington, Feb. I8.-Germany has
notified the United States government
through Ambassador Gerard, that a
state of strained relations" exists be-
tween the two nations.
This being interpreted by state de-
partment oficials means that a condi-
ton Of tension has developed which IS
of serious concern to the president
and the American people.
To restore the relations of the two
nations to their former state Of friend
Illness. while at the same time assur-
ing protection to American ships and
American citizens traversing the high
seas. is now the problem of the presi-
dent and his cabinet.
The president is face TO face with
this situation:
The United States, In a vigorous
note, requested assurances from Ger
many that American citizens and
their vessels will not be molested by
the naval forces of Germany otherwise
than by visit and search in the war
zone" around the British Isles to be
established Thursday
Germany, in an official communica-
ton received on Tuesday, declined to
grant those assurances and reiterated
the danger from submarines and float
ing mines to neutrals traversing the
war zone"
So an impasse has been reached.
The president and members of his
cabinet discussed during the day the
entire subject OF the relations of the
United States with Germany and
Great Britain, with view Of devising
a solution which would be generally
satisfactory.
So far as Germany is concerned,
they determined to do all they
could do to obtain a declaration by
Great Britain with reference to the
freedom of foodstuffs not consigned
to the German government On 70 the
German military and naval forces.
II Great Britain will comply with
the urgent representations of the
United States. Germany has prom
Used to cancel the orders for the war
zone"
The reply of the United States was
dispatched Tuesday afternoon.
II includes the fact that representa-
tions have been made to Great Britain
and constitutes reiteration of the at
titude Of the United States with ref
erence to the Berlin decree.
The final note OF Germany was po-
lite, but left nothing TO the imagina-
ton. The American note, like its
predecessor, is more than polite--it is
anxiously friendly. But still it is firm
and shows an unylelding purpose on
the part OF President Wilson.

establishment of a state hospital, or
a series of hospitals in connection with
present institutions for the cure OF vic
tins OF drink and drug habits was ad-
yocated at meeting of the MiIwau-
kee County Medical society.
The society's legislative committee
was instructed by a unanimous vote of
the meeting to confer with the district
attorney on bill to be presented to
the legislature.
The general sentiment Of the meet
ing was that the victims OF the drink
and drug habit should be treated as in
valids.
The present method OF disposing of
habitual drunkards in Wisconsin was
branded as relic of the barbaric ages
by District Attorney w. C. label, one
of the speakers.
He pointed out that while science
generally recognizes that the drink
habit is inherited, the laws of the state
fail to recognize this and instead of
giving proper treatment to the victims.
treat them as criminals and punish
them as such.
To illustrate the way Milwaukee
county is disposing Of drunkards, who
are really invalids, he took eight cases
which appeared in district court and
sentenced to the house of correction.
One, woman, the mother of children.
was sent to the house of correction for
the fifty-ninth time. Another woman
had served II times, while a third
woman had served 80 terms. Among
the men, one had been sentenced A
times. another Al times and a third "A
times.
I'VE lose sight of the fact that this
condition may be hereditary and yet
we sentence these people to prison
without lifting a finger to help Them"
he said. Take that woman who has
served SO times. In all she has served
1900 days in the house of correction.
If she could be placed in a hospital for
a single year she might be cured and
become credit to society and a moth
er to her children"
He said that one might as well SEN
tence a person suffering from tubercu-
losis to the house of correction and ex-
pect him to become cured.
DIR. Herbert w. Powers, in speaking
Of habit-forming drugs, said that it
takes but two or three weeks to &C
quire the drug habit He said that
statistics would tend to show that
about fourteen per cent of the victims
were permanently cured.
