MEXICAN SITUATION CRITICAL
Il Is Reported U. S. Government IS
Prepared for intcrVcnticn-otEer
Powers Offer Services.

Administration officials expressed a
fear that the receipt in Mexico City OF
President V i,Gor's note refusing ID
withdraw United States tr2cp' VIII lie
the signal for an oren break between
General Carranza and the American
government.
With the growth Of this feeling 1t
was learned that high officials of the
state, war and navy departments are
postponing vacation plans and pre-
pairing themselves for a summer IN
Washington.
Reports have been coming to Of
fcials for several weeks taat General
Alvaro Obregcn, CarranZ@'s minister
Of war, was personally responsible fer
the last note. 1t was said he farccd
the de facto government to send its
insulting" clauses, hoping to cause a
refusal to its demands and to use t2e
resulting state OF affairs as lever
by which to pry CarranZa from hi:
seat as titular head of the Mexican
government.
A report that is wi ,espread and
quite generally believed, is that The
administration is PREPARED fer inter
vention in Mexico as the OILY apparent
escape from the pres tanEle. Pre- l.
dent Wilson and Secretary Lansine
put the G1al t1uchos t2 the note, whic
will reject fatty Cairanza's deman
for withdrawal.

to clean out the bandits, and to ann ::
us with insoient reflections on the

face CT the NEST recent note, with

Other runners current are that seV-
eral other powers have urge1 theil
friendly Offices to solve the Mexican
situation. The diplomatic representa-
tiYcs Of Great Rritain, Brazil, HoEdl-
ras and Costa Rica all conferred with
Secretary Lansing.

were killed, according to a Brit s. =
fetal tabulation CT the German ca All
ty lists given out here.
The compilation did not include G :
man losses in naval engagements ~
in the fighting in the German colonies.
The British official statement quotes
the German official casualty lists for
the month of May as placing the total
German losses in killed. prisoners and
wounded at 1O2,507. This number, it
is pointed cut, brings the German total
losses, exclusive of naval and colonial
casualties, to 2,924,5S6.

Labor Scarcity Felt.

Many central PennsTly~ toWas
are suffering from Z scarcity CT labor
OF almost al classes.
Building operations are being sert-
ously delayed by the lack Of skilled
men, as well as by lack Of lab@rers.
Notwithstanding tie offer cf the
highest wages rail- in years, there are
not enough artisans TO meet the de-
mand. Contractors with big jobs on
hand are Obliged to import men from
eastern and southern cities. The
PENNSYLVANIA railroad has already
brought here two parties of colored

OUTPUT WORTH OVER BILLION
Uncle Sans Census Figures Show
Iron and Steel Business OF Country
+ Has Reached Great Proportions.

The United States produces normal.
~ more than billion dollars worth
of steel ind iron annually. These fig-
ures are shown by Uncle Sam as a
result of the census Of 1914, In which
year the value OF the products alucunt-
ed to $919,527,244. The statistics for
1914 covered a period Of marked de-
rressiJn, unofficial figures estimating
the output In 1914 to have been Is per
cent less than in 1913. The output il
1909, the last previous year covered
by the census reports was valued Mt
S992, 349,573. These figures are taken
to indicate that the normal output
now is we'll above the billion-dollar
mark.
The reductions In the output from
1909 to 1914 were greater in railway
steel, because Of the absence Of ex-
tensive railroad building or rebuilding
in 1914. The output Of rails in ,914,
not including rerolled or renewed rails,
was only 1,842,041 tons, valued at
$;54,M)e,918, as compared with 1885,
$50 tons, valued at $81 lbs, 295 in 1909,
Il decrease Of 1856 per cent In tonnage
AMI 1874 per cent in value.
The production of armor plate, gun
fOr:i q and ordnance showed big in
crease in 1914, the value Of the output
increasing S7.3 per cent. MS compared
with the output of 1909.
