from General Carranza's headquarters
at Vera Cruz. It says further imme-

foodstuhs by rail to ths starving peo-
pie Of the capital. The state depart
ment had no direct advices as to the
situation there.
Heavily guarded trains, it was re-

Vera Cruz with provisions to supple.
ment those being taken into the city
by the army. Washington officials
are hopeful that General Gonzales has
protected the railway line so trains

SAYS war MUST LEAD
TO STRONG GERMANO-
ITALIAN ALLIANCE

Turin, Italy, April q. 1915 p. NJ,
via Paris, April Is, 7.45 A. Mount
Apponyi, leader Of the opposition in
Hungary, is quoted in an interview in
the Stampa as declaring that the war
must lead to the reconstruction of a
powerful no-Italian alliance, ca
pable Of enforcing peace by force and
also the freedom of the seas.
To obtain this object the count is re-
ported to have declared it is necessary to
avoid resentment between the countries
which would be involved. He therefore
urges Italy not to be tempted by what
seems to be favorable opportunity to
push her pFetensions unreasonably.
Count Apponyi expressed the hope that
there would be no break in the rela-
tions between Austria and Italy, for iii
Austria is crushed. Russian victory
would constitute a Muscovite danger to-
day and not tomorrow"

FINDINGS IN CASES

Washington, April 2s.-The social

The railroads were ordered to main

now as result Of the wars reached a
state Of exhaustion in which it has prac-
tically nothing to give away to its own
unfortunates. The Serbian peasant In
normal times is isolated and self-sus-
tanning. The country is economically and
socially unevolved and unorganzed to the
degree known in western Europe and
America. The one railway through the
country is mainly occupied for military
purposes and other roads are out Of re-
pair and almost impossible.
The richest quarter OF the country has
been invaded and laid waste. Other
than to Bulgaria, which harbors no hate
for Serbia. the country's only connection
with the other world is to the Greek
port Of Saloniki. Other circumstances
are cited as difficulties in the way of
relief. The Serbian government, the re-
port says. attributes the inception of ty-

quartered to the number of 5000
