MEXICAN CHIEFS AGREE.
obrsaon and Others Reported to Have
Reached Agreement With Berlin.

Obre0on and Others Reported to Have
Reached Agreement With Berlin.
Washington, March 49, The state
department has received information
tending to establish the opinion that
General Obregons and a clique Of poll
tici3ns who surround Carranza have
actually entered into an agreement
1 with German agents whereby they have
uualinedly given promises that they
will consider the Zimmerman propo-
sails for an alliance between Germany
and Mexico in the event Of trouble be-
tween Washington and Berlin.
The precise nature OF the proposals
discussed by Obregon and the kaiser's
agents are not known. The strength
which Obregon might marshal II he
ever attempted to carry out the pact
is matter of speculation here. In adj
dition to Obregon, the administration
is informed. Louis Cabrera and Rafael
Zubaran are playing parts in the in
trigue.
Il Could Gust carranza7
The trio is admitted to be more pow
erful in Mexico than Carranza. It is
conceded trat revolution financed by
Obregon would turn the present gov
ernment out over night.
The state department has reason for
believing that while Carranza person
ally does not desire to join in the in
3 trigue he is not strong enough to block
the plans of his three advisers, and II
they persist in negotiating with Ger
man agents lie cannot successfully op-
pose.
The information which has reached
here is notYclear enough to warrant Of
ficials to reach the conclusion that the
intrigue is anything more than at at
tempt on the part of few unscrupu-
l0us politicians to hold up overzealous
German agents fora consideration with
4 promiseslof future cooperation.
4 Fletcher Watching Case.
Ambassador Fletcher Is watching the
4 situation at Carranza's capital, and is
carrying out the orders from President
Wilson to have Carranza make this
government a plain statement concern
ing his position on Zimmerman's pro-
posal for an alliance.
Despite the fact that Secretary Lam
sing. on the day of the Zimmerman ex-
pose, wired Ambassador Fletcher to get
a plain. clean cut statement from the
first chief, the state department has re-
:eived no satisfactory reply.

STORM STORIES
 FROM MISSOURI

The following from the Princeton (Missouri) Post will cheerfully be yer flied by Thco and Charley Hurst of Jungletown
 You can believe anything you hear about a tornado. Laws of nature seem to be whacked when twister comes. If one tells you that straws are driven into a tree like a nail, don't sheer; be- cause he can take you to the scene of last Tuesdays storm here in Mercer county and show you. If you are told that hide was peeled from cats back, feathers picked from chickens, horses ears taken off, hogs neatly scraped, sod sk;mned off the ground as if done by a spade, peoples clothes torn from their backs, trees two feet through twisted off and their butts splintered into toothpicks, buildings completely blown away and joists from good solid houses torn out and left sticking in the ground like flag poles, don't question his sanity. He can produce the proof. Much of this the writer saw after the tornado passed. and his ideas about storm stories were materially changed.

.SAMMIES LOCATED
 BY BASEBALL GAME

Controle American, American Expeditionary Army, Sept. 4 - An extensive set of photogra phs of the American army camps taken by a German aviator will not reach Berlin. The Bauche flyer was interrupted on his way back by three French planes and brought to earth. The aviator was killed by the fall, but his camera was only lightly damaged and the French authorities de- veloped the films.
 They found that the German had taken pictures all along the line. Although flying at a great height he had obtained excellent results with a telescopic lens.
 It was observed by the Ameri- can officers that the German continued his flight until he came over the great open field where the soldiers were playin z baseball. He then turned bacl' toward the German lines and the theory is that the baseball game furnished him conclusive proof that the troops he had discov cred were American.
 No suggestion has yet been made, however, that cricket be adopted for deceptive purposes.

ONE IN FIFTEEN
 HAS BEEN SLAIN

Boston. Roger Babson, the eminent statistician of Wellesley, has gathered the following figures from a close study of war casualties: Fourteen men out of every fifteen have been safe so far. Under present conditions, where man power is being saved, not more than one in thirty Is killed. Only one man in 300 loses a limb, chance no greater than in hazardous conditions at home.
 MT. Babson's figures are based on the mortality figures Of the French army for the full three years of the war, and attention IS called to the fact that present fighting is not resulting in any where near the number of deaths recorded for the first two years.
 Most of the wounds sustained in the trenches," said Mr. Bab- son, "are clean cut and of a na- ture that a few weeks in the hos pital makes the subject as fit as ever. But 100000 French sol diers have been discharged on account of wounds during the three years of the war. Fight ing in the trenches, most of the wounds are in the top of the head, simply scalp wounds. Practically speaking, wound is either fatal or slight, but with few in between these two eX tremes."
