Inference Is Had From Wash ington That All Is Not Well With De Facto Government in Mexico.
PEOPLE COMPLAINING OVER MONEY CONDITION
Americans Tell of Difficulty in Getting to Ell Paso from the City of Chihuahua. Car ranza to Coast.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-A State Department dispatch from Mexican Border related the difficulties eight Americans and othe foreigners encoun tered in getting from Chihuahua to Fl Paso. The train on which they trav- eled was held at Chihuahua for four days because of strike of railroad men and on reports that Villa men were operting along the line between Chihuahua and the border. $50 sol diers escorted the train. Seventy-five of this number were dropped at yari- ous stations en route.
 The strike is reported to be due to the demand of the men that they be paid in silver instead of in depreciated paper money. It ended in an agree ment by which the men will accept half silver and half paper. Assuranc- es were given by the Carranza foreign office at Guadaiajara that the acting governor of Vera Cruz reported he has given appropriate. orders" for the pro tection of oil properties in the Chapa- pote and potrero districts, near Tux pam. Rebels recently have been act i've in that region.

HIDE EXPORT PROBLEM.

FL PASO, Feb. 1.-Two carloads of hides offered for export from Juer- ez. which American cattlemen de- clared contained eighty per cent brands of owners having no part in the transaction of sale. Carranza au- thorities ordered held for a reason able time to enable the claimants to take the case to United States courts. The hides valued at sl0.000 were sold by General Luis Herrera. military chief of Chihuahua, to New York firm under special permit
 The purchasers of the hides de- clare they had no fear of an adverse court ruling. They erferred to a de- cision by a New Jersey court in a case involving a shipment of hides alleged to have been solen by Villa and exported by him last year. This held that Villa was de facto ruler of the country under his control and had a right to confscate the property. With Carranza formally recognized the agents of the leather dealers be- lieve other courts would follow this precedent.

SUBMARINE PROBLEM TENDS

WASHINGTON. Feb. 16.-The sub marine controversy with Germany cannot be closed until the United States fully considers the possible ef feet of the declared intention of the Germanic powers to sink all armed merchantmen of their enemies with. out warning after Feb. 2s. This an nouncement was made by Secretary Lansing instead of the expected an nouncement of a satisfactory settle ment with Germany
 The perfecte dmonths' negotiations agreement presented by the German ambassador today would have been acceptable to the United States ex- cept for the Germanic powers an- nounced intention to regard armed merchantmen ships of the enemies as warships. It is practically assured the United States will ask to be specin- cally informed if assurances previous lv given for safety of neutrals at sea have not been or will not be altered. Officials are afraid they will find the controversy at the point it started the first day of the submarine crisis.

FLOODS EUROPE WITH WARNING
 MATERIALS
Figures Swell Rapidly: Over Hundred Million Dollars Is
 Represented in Output of High Explosives from U. s.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 16.-American made munitions are pouring into Eu- rope at the rate of two millions dol lars worth daily. The figures are swell ing as rapidly as the production in creases. For a long time after the war began shipments were negligible. In the middle of 1915 millions worth of war materials began to move in con siderable quantities. The department of commerce estimated shipments to Europe since the outbreak of the war as close to a quarter of billion dol lars.
 The rate of shipments of munitions in the next four months in total would be double even if nroduction should remain at standstilI. But the produc ton is declared to be growing faster now than at any time since the Ameri- can manufacturers began the conver- sion of their plants into munitions fac tories. A great part of the munitions has been in the form of high explos- i've shells. more than a hundred mil lion dollars worth of which has left America Powder comes next. with shipments estimated at nearly hun dred millions.

AUSTRIANS AND
 BULGARIANS JOIN
Germans and British Battle Unceasingly in West; Many Trenches Taken by Teutons Still Object of Fighting.

LONDON. Feb. l6.-Erzerum, Tur- keys chief city in Armenia. is in the
 hands of the Russians. Heavy as saults by the Russians on the long line of detached forts protecting the city lasting five days. are described by Grand Duke Nicholas as unprecedent- cd and resulted in the capture. Un- official reports in early February said Field Marshal von der Doltz and S0.000 Germans were beseiged in the city with fortnight's provisions. The cap ture is considered of great strategic importance. With stormy weather on the western line the heavy fighting of the last few days seemingly has sim mered down to artillery and mining op- erations In Albania the Austrians and Bulgarians are said to have form ed a juncture battling for capture of the important port of Durazzo. defend ed by Essad Pashas forces comprising Albanians, Serbians and Montenegrins
 From Erzerum radiate roads in all uiTtCllOuS.

The im- mediate effect of the Russians victory on the situation in Persia and Neso- potamia is problematical. The eoun- try is mostly mountainous and much ground is to be covered before the Lake Uramiah district is reached and six hundred miles distant from Kut- eLAmara. The British and Germans are still in death grips for possession of the trenches captured from the British southeast of Ypres.

EMPIRE States Delegates will
 Be Uninstructed; Stand for Determined Defense of Amer ican Rights Everywhere.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-The Repub- lican National campaign will be waged as a fight for adeuate prepar- edness, tariff reform, opposition to granting early independence to the Philippines and ,insistence on a vigor- ous stand for American rights both in Mexico and in relation to the European war, according to the key note" platform adopted today by the Republican state convention. Outlines of the platform, which was approved unanimously. were presented last night in a speech by former Senator Root
 While the delegates did not differ on the platform, there was a bitter fight over an attempt by supporters of Governor Whitman to obtain un- qualified endorsement of his admin istration and to force his nomination national convention. The result was that New York will send an unin- structed delegation to the national convention if the voters uphold the action Of the convention at the April primaries. A determined fight was led by Heny Stimson to obtain a re- solution recommending Root as New York's favorite son for the presidency was defeated in the committee on resolutions. A counter resolution that no presidential candidate be en- dorsed passed unanimously.
