SAY CARRANZA WON'T ALLOW
g. PLOTS.

Ell Paso, Tex, March 10-(By I'm
ion Associated Press)-Whatever the
results of the complications between
the United States and Mexico, it is
stated by agents Of Carranza here
that under no circumstances will Gen.
Carranza tolerate Germans in Mexico
to incite bitter feeling against Amer
leans. There are some who doubt the
truth of the reports, owing to the fact
that Carranza has had so little to say
about the matter since the publication
of the famous note in which it was
shown that Germany has proposed a
coalition between Mexico and Japan
against the United States. Persons
we'll acquainted with conditions in
Mexico are wondering what effective
measures Gen. Carranza can adopt,
owing to the secrecy with which the
Germans work. There are said to be
seventy-five branches Of the Society,
of the Red Cross in Mexico, practical
" every German in the country being
. member. Of late, too, the rumor
has been more persistent than ever
that Villa would have been captured
long ago, had he not received assist
ance from German agents.

(By Associated Press)

Washington, March 1O-The mere
appearance of a German submarine
or a periscope in the vicinity of an
American armed merchant ship will
entitle the vessel to the right to fire,
according to State Department op-
inion today, and to take other meas
ures for protection on the presump-
tion that the U-boat's purpose is hos
tile.
Under this ruling the American
armed merchantmen can fire on a
German submarine the moment it is
sighted without being considered as
taking aggressive action. This view
is based on Germany's declared in
tention to sink on sight within GER
tain zones vessels Of neutral as well
as belligerent nations whether pas
senger vessels, freighters or contra
band carriers. fs9

SPEEDING ON
THE DECREASE
Washington Street Now Used Al
Speedway Chiefly at Night
Police Are Careful.

As a result of the dilligent effort Of
the police force to put a stop to
speeding on Washington Street the
practice of burning the wind" along
that thoroughfare has about ceased
during the daylight hours and auto
mobilists now use it as speedway
only late at night.
Once in ever SO often a car speeds
down the streets but as a general
practice the car owners learned to put
on their brakes. The police however,
are not letting up their efforts to curb
the practice and will continue to keep
an eye on motorists on Washington.
It seems that the temptation to
speed is not SO great on the other
streets of the city as on Washingtoa.
due chiefly to the width of the street
and its paving very probably.

TO SETTLE ROAD
MATTER MONDAY
Board of Supervisors and Road Com
missioners to Meet in Joint Ses-
sion at Court House.

Monday morning the Board of Sup
ervisors and the Road Commissioner
/ will meet at the Court House in, join
session to consider the question O.
road building in LeAore County. Th'
chief matter to be decided is what
kind Of roads are to be built with the
100000 bond issue. q
There is Z dix divided feeling ia tn.
bounty and fdfi6f hste ssstss ss,ts1s =. ~.
Board is also far from agreed upor
the subject. Some think that gravel
roads will be sufficient while others
thing that a more permanent type
of roads should be built. -
If the hard roads are decided upon
the 100000 will not be sufficient to
built more than one or two highways
through the county, although the ones
built will be practically everlasting
and will necessitate very little work
to keep them in order, according to
those who favor that class of road.
They admit that the gravel will build
more miles of road with the amount
to be spent but they insist that gravel
will last only few years at best and
will be burden to keep up from the
very beginning. They argue that it
s best to build a few roads that will
,e permanent and from time to time
add others of like material until the
,ntire county is covered. &
Those who favor gravel as the ma
erial to be used are Of the opinion
hat as all of the citizens of the coun-
Y are paying part of the expense
is only right that they get road
qually as good as any other section
f the county. They declare that
vhen the canvass was being made
or the bond issue the people of the
ounty were given to understand the
honey was to build roads all over the
ounty and not just one or two high
Ways through the county. They admit
hat mile of hard road is better and
ill last longer than a mile of gravel
bad but are Of the opinion that the
ravel i'd sufficient to carry the traffic
nd will last longer than contemplate
4. u /. .,
The people Of the county are much
,terested in the road question and all |
yes are turned toward the Court |
.ouse Monday and ears tuned to
itch the first hint Of what is the
cards decision.

NEW INTEREST
IN POLITICS
Situation at Washington Has Had Ef.
feet of Opening Next Years. Cam.
paign A Little EARLY.

The seemingly universal criticism
Of Senator James K. Vardaman fol
his action in regard to the Armed
Neutrality Bill has centered interest
in Mississippi upon the question Of
who is to oppose the Junior Senator
IN his campaign for reelection. The
race really does not begin until next
year and little intsrest would have
been taken prior to that time except
for the recent happenings at Wash
ington which have brought Mr.. Var
daman so thoroughly into the lime
Light.
From the present outlook Missis-
sippi is to enjoy two red hot political
races next summer, one is for Senator
Vardaman's place in the Senate and
the other is for the Governsr's chair.
Just at present there seems to be
about dozen distinguished citizens
of the state being primed for the last
named honor and it is generally un-
derstood that Governor Theodore G.
Bilbo will be candidate against Mr..
Vardaman for the Senate.
Since the action of Senator Varda-
man has met with such hearty and
outspoken disapproval in the state
there probably will be others to- sum
up enough courage to enter the race.
Whether they do or not is matter
Of little consequence SO far as the
vituperative. side Of the race is con-
cerned because both Senator Varda-
man and Governor Bilbo are past
masters at the art and will probably
exercise, all their efforts upon each
other. 1t is to be hoped that if those
two distinguished gentlemen try their
mettle upon each other some other
good man can be induced to enter the
race as dark horse.
It is generally acknowledged that
a split has come in the ranks of the
faction which has been in control in
Mississippi for the past several years
and the opposition points with pride
to that fact.
The situation at Washington has
aroused a world Of interest in the po-
litical game TO be played in this state
next year which will probably be kept
at fever heat until after the meeting
Of the Legislature in January.
