Unwashed Mexicans are pouring into

week. Result is that the town is fran
tic over the possibility of typhus infec-
ton. Appeals to the federal govern
ment have been sent in from the mayor
and prominent citizens of the COM

public health servicej have been ordered
there to cope with the situation. The
War Department has been asked to CO.

There is no present intention to put
an embargo on travel from Mexico into
the fear stricken city: as would be jus
titled by past precedent creating a
quarantine against Mexico by eXecu-
tive order. There is no present inten-
ton to isolate these refugees into de-
tention camp. The federal government
is seeking to meet the danger in the
most humane way, taking into consd-
Grafton the necessities of these poor
MeXicanS, who have been driven over
the border to seek work and food and

ITALIAN PRESS ON
THE PRESIDENTS ATTITUDE.

Rome April 22.--Presldent Wilson's
personal appeal TO Congress, the facts
Of which have just been reported here,
occupies prominent place in the
press OF the capital.
The Tribuna after saying that Ger
many's continued disregard OF the
rights of neutrals has reached the
limit Of endurance continues:
President wilson's address to Con-
gress warrants the belief that the in
ternational situation is now susceptible
Of only two solutions either the ces-
sation OF submarine warfare as waged
against neutral merchantmen. OF a
rupture of relations between Germany
and the United States.
The Tribuna praises President Will
son for championing the rights Of hui
mainly and of all neutrals instead Of
the rights of a single nation. 1t con-
tiuues: Thanks to the high Ideal
established by President Wilson to
America will be reserved the role Of
the greatest champion of humanity
Germany has been left no alterna-
tive. hut to discontinue its submarine
warfare or abide by the grave conss-
quence OF a rupture with the United
States"
The Giornai D1talia, after summing
the contents OF Germany's several an
swers to the American notes of pro
test, says:
This time President Wilson appears
to understand that there no longer Is
any occasion for temporizing. The
stern tone OF his address to Congress
and the resolute attitude of his audi
