AIALLES' DISPOSAL
Count Terauchi. Nippon Statesman,
Assures Support of Entente.
By FREDERIC COLEMAN

Copyright. 1917 by the International News serroe
In view of Great Britain's important
relations with Japan it is. advisable
that something should be known Of the
statesman who leads the japanese gov
ernment today and therefore is largely
responsible for Japan's foreign policy
Count Terauchi.
I pointed out to him that I was re-
turning to England Immediately and
therefore might be made the vehicle of
a pronouncement that would explain to
the British people the foreign policy
Of japan.
You may give the people of Eng
land, II you will. message from the
Terauchi cabinet" he said. "It is a
matter of the greatest regret to me
that circumstances have made it impos-
sible or at least impracticable to place
an rmy Of Japanese soldiers in the fir
ing line where they could wage war
against the common foe Although we
cannot apparently hope to take such part
as that in the war, you may tell the
people Of England from the Terauchi
cabinet that 1t is our solemn intention
to leave no stone unturned to assist our
allies by every means in our power.
IAN our resources such as they are
or may be are at the disposal of the
Allies"
This message may be taken to represent
the sentiments today adopted by the
most important classes in Japan.

WIFE SHOOTS SELF
Woman, Dreading Return to
Husband, Attempts Life.

Crying that she would rather be dead
than live with her husband, Mrs Julia
Thompson, % years old, tried to take her
life by shooting herself at the home OF
her mother 17H Eighth street northwest.
at $50 o'clock last evening.
The tragedy was the result Of alleged
cruel treatment and neglect on the part
Of her husband, Ambrose Thompson, q
years old, a baker, OF La Plata, Nd
Hearing two shots fired, the brother of
and found his sister lying on the floor
and found his sister lyon on the floor
with a revolver clasped in her hand. He
carried her down stairs and phoned for
an ambulance. Seeing an automobile
across the street, he wrapped a blanket
about his unconscious sister. carried her
to the machine, and rushed her to Garfield
Hospital.
At an early hour this morning the ply
sicians entertained hope for the girls
recovery.
While the brother carried Mrs. Thomp-
son downstairs, her two small children
looked on with wondering eyes. When
their mother was taken into the street
to the automobile. the little tots started
crying and wanted to follow her.
Mrs. Alice Ulrich. the mother OF Mrs
Thompson. was not at home at the time
She had gone to visit her mother, who
is seriously i'll.
No one was in the room when Mrs.
Thompson attempted to take her life. She
went to her room with the apparent in
tention Of getting ready to retire. One
bullet took effect in the region of her
heart and the other went wild and lodged
in the wall near a dresser.
Mrs. Thompson came to visit her mother
two weeks ago because, she claimed life
with her husband was intolerable.
During her stay here Mrs. Thompson
continually brooded over her marital un-
happiness
The husband was formerly a baker in
Washington. having worked at several
large hotels here. Mr.. and Mrs. Thomp-
son have been married four years.

CARRANzA TOLD
WILSON OF PLOT
First Chief Risked Life to
Warn u. S. of Vast Teu-
ton Intrigue.
by WILLIAM b. GRIFFIN.
international New. Seryice.)


Ell Paso, Tex, March lO.-First Chief
Wilson Germany's offer of a coalition
with Mexico and Japan against the
United States.
A plot was formed against Carranza' 8
life as a result Of this action. but 1t was
discovered in time and the first chief ned
to Guadalajara for protection.N
These facts were disclosed tonight by
Investigators for American capitalists
| who have interests in Mexico. They
were made public on the eve Of the cleo
tions in Mexico tomorrow.
According to tho agents reports, no
! sooner had Carranza received DR.. Zim-
mermann's note offering Germany's
backing for Mexico in a war with the
United States, than Mexico's executive
dispatched a special messenger to Wash
ington with the German foreign secre-
tary's original letter.
The first chiefs move was quickly dis
covered by Mexican agents with German
leapings and the assassination plot was
| about to be carried out when It was dis
covered.
CarranZa's action In warning President
Wilson OF the German intrigue Is said
| to explain the change OF front on the
part of the American administration to-
ward Mexico and to mark the beginning
I OF new phases in the relations between
the two countries.
Besides sending Ambassador Fletcher
to Mexico City, exchanges of courtesies
between military officers Of the two re-
publics were begun at Fridays cavalry
review here. Gen. Pablo Gonzales and
Gen. Murguia. commandant at Juarez,
were guests of Gen. George Bell, Jr.. COM
manding the FL Paso district.
Gen. Murguia is planning a review of
his troops in Juarez at which American
military officials will be his guests.
Gen. Pershing recently visited Mata-
moras, opposite Brownsville.
German agents in FL Paso and Mexico
are said to have given up all hope of
winning over Mexico as a result OF Car
ranza's warning to President Wilson. The
first chiefs election tomorrow practically
will be unanimous. Then, according to
reports prevalent in Ell Paso, Washing
ton will recognize the Carranza govern
ment formally. which is already arrang-
ing a large loan in the United States.
While this condition will increase Car
ranza's strength considerably, Villa con-
ttnues to prove a serious menace to the
de facto rule in Northern Mexico.

ENGLAND HIDES LOSS
OF OVERSEAS TONNAGE
British Writers Quoted by Berlin to
Prove Food Supply Is Threatened.

IBy the International News seryice.) }
Berlin (yia SayvilIe), March 10-A mass
Of quotations from British writers and
reports from other sources was given
out by the Overseas News Agency today
to show that the C-boat campaign is seri-
ously threatening the entente food sup
ply.
The British weekly Truth lis quoted
as saying, under date of February 8,
concerning the British governments at
tempts to appease public opinion about
the U-boat war:
Such artificial statistics of our govern.
ment do more harm than good. We are
face to face with an attempt to block
ade us. The successes OF that blockade
are not reduced by the fact that We in
troduce. in a misleading manner. into
our statistics, the arrivals and departures
Of warships and coast patrols.
"Only the overseas traffic can be count
ed and If our government wants to enjoy
public confidence any suspicion of cheat
ing in such matters must be avoided.
The masses may be deceived, but the
enemy, the neutrals and our ship owners
will not be caught by such means"

governor TO resign
BUT What Office?
Reports Say Hiram johnson Will Quit
Senate-Others Say Governorship.

Sacramento, Cal, March 10.-That Gov
Hiram W. johnson will announce to the
legislature next Monday his resignation
as governor, and will retire from the ex-
ecutive chair a few days later. Is the pre-
diction made this afternoon by the Sac
ramento Bee, a paper generally regarded
as being in the confidence OF the COVER
nor.
Meantime. however, rumors persist that
the governor Monday will announce his
intention to resign from the Senate next
Monday rather than give UP the COVER
norship at this time.
That Gov. Johnson would prefer to re-
tain the governorship to the Senate has
never been intimated and political circles
are in a mild state of panic as a result
1t was said that the governor fears
that the work which 1t has taken him
years to do here and on which his entire
political reputation is founded, would be
imperilled should he quit the governor 8
chair, in which he has two years yet to
serve, for the Senate.

pose.

reception rooms where the young women
who live in the hotel may see young men.
There will be no restrictions on the nor
NAL life of an unmarried young woman %
