AMERICANS ON WARSHIPS.
BATTLESHIP AT VERA CRUZ is
CROWDED WITH REFUGEES.
Others Arriving Daily From Interior

derers Home.

Vera Cruz, MeXico.-The arrival of
several hundred American refu-
gees here fleeing before war clouds
failed to bring any unusual excite
ment to Mexico's principal seaport.
The native residents are optimistic.
The refugees unite in declaring the
crowds which greeted them at the
railroad stations on their trip here
were fairly courteous.
Out in the haTbor the ~battleship
Nebraska was lying peacefully at
anchor with close to 200 American
citizens aboard. The Nebraska's Of
ficers have endeared themselves to
the refugees by their hospitality
but they are mighty anxious for the
arrival of a transport which will re-
lieve them of the civilians aboard. A
transport for the refugees is expected
within "a or As hours.
A train from Mexico City brought
several score Americans and several
hundred other foreigners. Not one OF
these had anything but the highest
praise for the courtesy and polite
treatment accorded them by Constitu.
tionaiist troops and officers in Mexico
City and en- route. Twelve carloads
Of American refugees under care OF
Special Agent Rodgers are expected
The hotels and cafes of Vera Cruz are
alive with Americans. For the most
part they were in good spirits and
hopeful of an amicable adjustment o.
the difficulties between the two gov
ernments.

S5OO,OOO TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Henry c. Frick Had Given $25o,ooo to
Pittsburg and Doubles Sum to In
crease Teachers Efficiency.

Pittsburg, Penn. - Henry G. Prick
is announced as the donor of a nither-
to anonymous fund of $250,000 which
for six years has been used by the
board of trustees to strengthen the
Pittsburg public school system. Prick,
it was announced, is so pleased with
the operation of the fund that he has
added $250,000 to the original gift.
The fund was used to train teach
ers already employed in the schools
for special work. Seventy were sent
to summer sessions of the best uni
versities the first year and last year
the number sent was 700. These
teachers have extended their activi-
ties to include night schools for i'm
migrants. One section deals entirely
with the mothers of foreign-born chill
dren in the schools, hygiene, santa.
ton and the care of babies.

FIRM ACTION PLEASES KAISER
Mexico lmbroglio Settlement Would
Suit German Financiers With
Large investments.

Berlin, Germany. - Germany has
watched with a mixture of interest
and indifference the developments of
the situation between the United
States and Mexico. Some Berlin
newspapers feature a brief American
dispatch forwarded from London,
that Americas declaration of war
against Mexico is looked for within
a few days. Any attempt of Presi-
dent Wilson to bring order out of
chaos in Mexico, if the president
takes hold with determination and de-
cisiveness to end the present condi-
tons there, probably would not be
unwelcome to Germany, which has
vast commercial interests there. Were
President Wilson to accede to Car
ranza's demand that he withdraw the
American troops, it undoubtedly
would be interpreted here as weak
ness on the part of the American gov
eminent.

ico-Depiore War.

Toxic, Japan.-"Of course, any
claims that the Japanese government
will assist MeXicans with munitions
and arms is out of the question and
absurd" said Baron Ishii, foreign min
lister, to a correspondent when asked
for his views on the Mexican situa-
ton. The interview was sought on
account of declarations attributed to
Mexicans that assurances had been
received from Japan that munitions
and other assistance would be given
to Mexico in event of val with the
United States.
Japan Would DepIore War.
CAS- for private Japanese compa-
MES selling arms to Mexico" the for
| eign minister continued, Il consider it
extremely improbable. AS you know,
all available rifles and guns are be-
ing furnished to Japan's allies to as
sist in bringing the European war
to a successful issue. And | fancy,
though I do not know, that munitions
not available for our allies may have
found their way to China during the
revolutionary troubles.
'"I.et me say this with all the en-
phasis and earnestness at my COM
mand," said the minister. 1.-THE ia
panese nation sincerely hopes that
armed conflict between the United
States and Mexico may be avoided.
Japan's interests in America, North,
Central and South, being essentially
pacific and commercial, any event
bringing disturbances into the Amer
lean market would be keenly felt in

FRENCH WAR AGENT is SLAIN
New York Broker Carrying Order to
Buy Horses Found Shot-Mys-
terious Letter Found.

Chicago, Ill.-The discovery that
William Rebbe a New York broker,
who was found shot in Lake Shore
Drive, was a war order buyer for
the French government, added a war
plot angle to the mystery surround
ing the case.
Rebbe wa found with a bullet
wound under his heart, lying on the
pavement. In his pocket was a let
ter addressed to Rev. John Timothy
Stone, pastor of a fashionable Chicago
church. This letter asked Stone why
he had mot protected this man whom
we have robbed Of $500, 900"
Rebbe recovered consciousness for
q few moments and said he was shot
by two men, whom he did4aaots knew.
Police were at first inclined to be-
lieve he had shot himself, but dis
covery in his pockets of duplicate
contracts for horses for the French
government prompted the war plot
theory.
Rebbe said he lived at the Ma
varre Hotel, New York.

New Mexico Ranch Raided.

Columbus, N. Man American
cavalry patrol was pursuing a small
band of Mexicans who we're reported
to have raided the Parker ranch, 35
miles southwest of Hachita, N. M, Re-
ports to Col, H. G. Sickle, command
ing the border patrol here, indicated
that the Mexicans were making for
the border.
1t was assumed that if they crossed
the frontier the cavalrymen also
crossed in pursuit. The bandits es-
capped with several head of horses and
mules, but no other damage was done.
Truck trains which left here loaded
with supplies for Gen. P~ershing's
command carried double guards, and
were accompanied by motorcycles,
which were armed with machine guns
mounted on ~tricycles.
