A HEAVY BURDEN
State Department Without Funds

From To rrisuns Bureau =


Washington, April 2l.-Serious prob
lens face the United States consular
service because OF the extraordinary
situation brought about by the Euro
pean war. Officials Of the State De-
partment say the service already has
suffered heavily and may be seriously
impaired II the war continues much
longer.
Promotions and transfers have ceased
almost entirely because Of the impos-
sibility OF changing the posts of con-
sus in belligerent countries. The cost
of living has risen enormously nearly
all over the world and has reduced
many consuls 20 the verge of starva-
ton. designations have been threat
ened in many cases, but some consuls
are unable to resign because they are
practically interned for the war.
The Allies refuse 20 receive Ameri-
can consuls who have served In Ger
many or Austria, as they consider them
infected" This has barred many
transfers and promotions which nor
mally would have taken place. and
might az this time improve conditions
in the service. Neutral countries IN
Europe. too. are suspicious of American
consular officers whose leanings tow
ard one or another belligerent are too
pronounced.
The most extraordinary phenomenon
Of the service. however. Is that several
South American countries have barred
American consuls who sympathize with
Germany. and in some cases have re
fused to accept men with German
names. The only explanation suggest
I'd l. that they fear an outcropping OF
the German intrigues that have given
so much trouble in the United States.

Will Mean Intervention.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 19.- That President Wilson will be able to restrain congress in ordering inter- vention in Mexico as result of the latest indignity to be heaped upon the American troops by Mexican ban dits, is doubted by the most ardent advocate of peace. Secretary Garri- son of the War Department, has or dered the American troops to cross into Mexico to rescue the American soldiers who were Kidnapped and it is believed that they will not be with drawn until President Carranza has shown that he can control the lawless element which has been preying upon Americans and other foreigners, and guarantee the safety of their lives and property. The news of the capture of the troops by the bandits Is the only topic of conversation and official an- of the affair is eagerly awaited by the public.

VIENNA, Jan. 19.-King Nicho- las, of Montenegro, who fled with the royal family to Italy before the ap- proach of the Austrian troops before the fall of Cettinje, has returned to his country and surrendered to the Austrian general in command of the victorious troops. Latest advices say that the king surrendered his sword to General Herless at Grahovo and then issued proclamation in which he told the Montenegrans to surren- der as 1t was hopeless to attempt to continue the war. It Is announced by the war department that the Mon tenesro troops who surrendered to- gether with the entire male popula tion of the country will be concsn- trated in certain districts to prevent their offering assistance to the Ser bian and Italian troops in Albania. Thousand of Serbian soldiers who have been fighting in the Montenegro armies have surrendered and will be sent to, detention camps where the Serbian prisioners of war are held.

HACHITA, Jan. 19.-1ntense ex- eitement prevailed here today when the news was received that Mexican bandits had crossed the border and had kidnapped seven cavalrymen of &he Thirteen regiment who have been patroling the border to intercept raid ang parties crossing the line.
 Details of the affair are lacking but 1t is believed that the American troops were captured after a fight in which several lives may have been lost. The indignation here is intense and hundreds of cowboys have or sanized and crossed the border in pursuit of the Mexicans and their prisoners.
 Cavalry troops stationed at other points along the border have been also sent in pursuit of the kidnappers and will undoubtedly give battle to the daring raiders, who are thought to be part of General Villas band of rebels.

 It is asserted that during Sunday afternoon three, prominent women, whose husbands are members of the club, had telephoned to police head quarters that their husbands had re- turned home in an intoxicated condi- tion after-spending few hours at a favorfte haunt. One of the women informed Chief Lang if he failed to take action that she would lay the matter before the attorney-general of the state.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 19.- The resolution introduced in the sen ate by Senator Works to empower President Wilson to intervene in Mexico at any time was debated in the upper house yesterday. Repub- lican members declared that the presidents watchful waiting policy has proven a failure and that the Mexican trouble was no nearer solu- tion than when the administration came into power.
 Senator Borah of Idaho declared that congress should shoulder the responsibility of settling the Mexi- can trouble and urged that President Carranza of Mexico be immediately notified by the State department that the United States would insist upon the lives and property of Americans being protected and with that end in view would use force if necessary.
 Senator J. Ham Lewis, who had of- fered resolution endorsing that of Senator Works, declared that he very much doubted if the Mexican federal troops were able to cope with the reb- els and bandits but urged delay in order to afford the Mexican govern ment ample time in which to restore order.

ANOTHER SPLIT IN
 THE PEACE BOARD
Members Cannot Agree upon Place of
 Meeting and Want to Dust the Advocates of Preparedness.

THE HAGUE, Jan. 19.-A serious split has occurred in the membership of the permanent peace board as ap- pointed by the Henry Ford peace conference held here last week. The trouble began when the board at- tempted to select a place for holding it's first meeting after the members of the board who are absent had ar rived in Europe.
 All the members with the exception of Rev. Aked, chairman of the board, have positively refused to hold meet ings in Stockholm, believing that the meetings should be held in some of the countries engaged in the war.
 Mrs. Fels, of Philadelphia, believes that England Is the first nation which should be approached: with peace overtures and has declined to attend meetings of the board in Nor way or Sweden.
 Madam Schwimmer, the Hung arian journalist and lecturer who ac- companed the Ford peace delegation from New York and was named a member of the permanent peace board from Austria-Hungary, has started a fight to oust the delegates who refused to sign Henry Ford's resolution condemning President Wilson's preparedness policy. She has demanded that John D. Barry who is prominent newspaper man of San Francisco, be busted from. the board to which he was appointed as alternative should any of the Ameri- can members be unable to attend. the meetings of the board. Barry Is an ardent advocate of preparedness and is given credit for having caused Ford's resolutions being defeated when the vote was taken on the peace ship Oscar while enroute to Europe. u
