Ships Are Scarce!
Yacht Of the Spanish
King Bears Freight

New York, Nov. 26.-The cxtraor-
dinary demand of commerce for ocean
tonnage which has already called in to
merchant service vessels of war and
army transports and has virtually
swept the worlds shipyards bare Of
everything that will float and carry
cargo, has now laid toll on the
erstwhile private yacht of king.
Today there arrived here the Span
ish steamship Alfonso XIII, formerly
the royal yacht of the present king
of Spain. 1t once was the North Ger
man Lloyd steamer Havel and was
bought by Spain during the Spanish
American war. The furnishings and
luxurious apartments of the ship
pleasing the eye of King Alfonso
XIII, he commandeered it on his ac-
cession as the private yacht of the
royal family and it was used on
numerous excursions of state.
Now operated by the Spanish
Transatlantic company for mer-
chant and passenger service the Al
fonso XIII furnishings have not been
disturbed. The regal suite is locked
up, but is still ready for use by the
king or his family if required. This
is the first trip of the Alfonso XIII to

MEXICANS STILL
SHOW SOME DOUBT
Not Disposed to Agree to Pro-
tocol Unless Troops Move
at Once.
DIFFERENT VIEWS TAKEN

Queretaro, Mex, Nov. 26.-High
Mexican officials who are here to at
tend the constitutionalist convention
are still awaiting the full text of the
border control protocol signed in At
,lantic City last week and the full text
of Secretary Lansing's statement de-
fning in part the policy of the United
States government toward Mexico be-
fore they will make any comment on
either.
There is seemingly satisfaction that
an arrangement has been reached for
the withdrawal of the American
troops from Mexico and for the con-
troll of the border, but this is replaced
by the feeling that Secretary Lans-
ings statement will require deep con-
sideration. The terms OF the protocol
mentioning delay of forty days for
the withdrawal of the troops, If condi-
tions permit Of such action, is ad-
yerse1y commented on.
1t is known that certain leaders
have vigorously opposed any agree
ment that would permit the pursuit
into Mexico of bandits by the Ameri-
can troops, as outlined by Secretary
Lansing, it being stated that such pur-
suit can only be regarded in the light
of an invasion. Other influential men,
however, have made the declaration
that the signing of the protocol is the
beginning of an understanding that
will wipe out cause for disagreement
between the two countries.
