AN URGENT APPEAL TO
 BE SENT TO cARRANzA
To Protect Foreigners tn District to Be
 Vacated by American Troops.

Washington, Jan. 24.- Coincident with the withdrawal of General Per shings force from Mexico an urgent appeal probably will be sent by the United States to Carranza to make every possible effort to protect for eigners in the district that has been occupied by American troops for the Cast ten months.
 Fear is felt particularly for the safe ty of the many Chinese who have been purveyors of supplies to the Ameri- cans. 1t was said at the state depart ment today that if the Chinese consid- cred themselves in danger and chose to cross into the United States, no ob- lection would be made in spite of the act excluding them They will not be given freedom to move at will in American territory, but will have the right of asylum so long as it appears to be dangerous for them to return to Mexico.
 The administration is manifesting much interest in the continued mob ilization of Villa forces at strategic points in the north, and considerable speculation was aroused by a report today that the rebels had cut the railroad south of Chihuahua Such in terruption of traf1c, if continued, will interfere materially, 1t is felt with movements of the de facto government forces that are expected to garrison the district now held by Pershing.

 ProjectiIe Factory.

Washington Jan. 24.-Contracts were awarded HadfieIds, Limited, for $3, Al, = 900 worth of 14-inch and 16-inch armor piercing shells at about $200 apiece less than the lowest American bid As these shells are for reserve ammuni- tion, it is possible that no further ef- forts to let contracts for them will be made pending construction of the gov ernment projectile factory already au- tnorized
 Secretary Daniels had not received tonight official notice that the British government had declined to permit HadfeIds to fill it's contracts.
 T will AFait until I get official an nouncement." he said when asked what alternative presented itself.

It will take about a year to complete it.

FACE AND FORM AHEAD
 OF MENTAL QUALITIES
In Selection of Women Teachers by
 High School Principals.

Chicago, Gan. 24.-;acob M Loeb, president of the Chicago board of ed- ucation, declared tonight that he was aware of the fact, as had been chcrg- ed. that male high school principals paid considerable attention to the face and form of prospective women teach CTS. And in justification Mr.. Loeb pleaded that the principals were only human"
 Mrs George P. Vosbrink, a board member, had charged that principals paid less attention to mental qualifica- tion of teachers they recommended for employment than they did to charm of face and figure.
 / You would think they were filling Fup a musical comedy chorus instead of seeking fit guides for children" protested Mrs. Vosbriilk.
 Mir Loeb said: "It is onIy human that the high school princ1p&.s, who are men, should consider these quail ties in a woman. It is the natural thing for them to do. They want teachers with whom they Gun get along. If teacher has a pleasing personality she is going to set along we'll with the pupils and other teach CTS"

GERMAN NEWSPAPERS
 APPROVE WILSON'S SPEECH,
kreuz Zeitung Calls it "An Appeal to
 the Conscience of Nations"

Berlin, Jan. A (By Wireless to Say vile, N. Yo.-The newspapers com ment on President Wilson's speech and virtually all of them appreciate the presidents sincerity and exalted hu- manitarian spirit" Thus the conserva- tive Kreuz Zeitung calls the message "an appeal to the conscience of na tions.'
 The ,Kreuz zeitung says that Ger many, having maintained peace for more than 40 years, and having now stretched out its hand for peace can therefore accept the appeal. It consid- CTS it doubtful whether Russia will ac- cept the message in the same spirit as alien races there have in no way enjoyed safety of life, liberty of wor- ship or social evolution. In addition, set forth in the entente's last note are hardly reconeiliab1e with the presi-
 snt's program, since they contain among other things annexation of Ger man territory, the annihilation and partition of Austria Hungary and Tur- key, the surrender of the German mer- chant navy and Germany's financial collapse.
 The Overseas News agency, which gives out for publication a summary of the views of the press, quotes the independent national Taegliche Rund- schau as saying that the entente's last note carefully avoided the mention of 'Germany,' substituting the German nations" (peoples), as if the German union had already been annihilated against the will of the German nation by brute force. The Rundschau de- clares that President Wilson's efforts will be without result so long as the entente insists upon the continua- tion of the war until Germany's anni- hilation."
 The Deutsche Tages Zeitung objects to the message and declares that it was inspired by preconceived anti German ideas and that the application of its principles would mean the de- struction of Germany and her allies.
 The Lokal Anzeiger calls the presi- dents statement "a very rema rka ble one, and an exceptional document, which. however, is of limited practical importance"
