Officials Of the Ford Motor com

NAL to the report that the big fliv-
yer plant is 20 discontinue making

war. When the report got current
in FL Paso on Friday the Tri-State
Motor company was swamped with
inquiries. but the dealers were unable
to make any definite statement as
they had not heard from Detroit by
wire on the matter.

NAL Of the story and IS. ID. Edburn

ment. Ford has placed his

ments disposal TO be adopted 10

said j. w. Kirkpatrick. but all the
dealers viii tell you that the big diff
ficulty is 70 get cars TO ship the
automobiles and also the demand all
over the country is greater than ever
before. The result is that we can

The local Ford dealers have about
so untitled orders on hand for pas

that he has no intention Of raising

Boston, Mass, May 26. - Eighty
eight corporations and person have
been indicted by the federal grand
jury here for conspiring to monopo-
lie interstate commerce In onions,
storing them in warehouses owned or
controlled by the various members and
putting them on the market from Sep
TENDER to April. The government
charges this association has had a do
minating and illegal control of the on
ion trade for the last three years.
For the 1916 crop the producers
probably received less than 2 cents a
pound. In mid-winter many Of these
onions were sold to retailers and
through them to consumers at 10 to
is cents a pound. 1t Is contended
by the government that this tremen-
dous margin between the price accru-
ing to the producer and the price paid
by the consumer was largely due to
the Illegal control of the trade exer-
cised by this association"

GERMAN SPIES IN U. S.

American Flotilla Escapes Mines Laid

Washington, May %. Four days
before the American destroyer fiotilla
arrived abroad Berlin knew it was on
the way and to what port it was going,
and the day before the vessels steamed
into Queenstown German submarines
had strewn mines about the harbor
entrance. This startling information,
revealing that German spies not only
still at their work In this country,
but that they have a swift and sure
leans of communicating Americas
war secrets to the fatherland came to
the navy department in a cablegram
from Rear Admiral Sims at London.
The admiral said his information
was positive. His dispatch was not
made public and for obvious reasons
nothing will be given out concerning
how the news came into his possession
nor about the precautions which de-
feated the German plans and enabled
the fiotilla to speed safely through the

Washington, May 28.-President Car
rama of Mexico, processing himself
now to be as anti-German as he re-
Gently was pro-German, is endeavoring
to negotiate an understanding with
the United States by virtue of which
the Mexican government would sub
scribe to support of the American
cause in the European war and re-
ceive in return American financial sup
port.
May Break with Germany.
1t is not unlikely that as a result
of these negotiations Mexico will pro-
claim neutrality benevolent to the
United States and give what assist
ance it can to the Allies.
1t is possible that Mexico eventually
will break relations with Germany,
particularly il President Wilson should
indicate that such action by Carranza
would be desirable. . |.u.
Experiences Change of Heart.
Whatever the outcome II may be
stated that Carranza has experienced
a change of heart since the United
States began loaning billions Of dol,
lars to it's allies. He now is eager to
do anything the United States wants
done, particularly as he has been given
to understand that he cannot expect
to obtain financial assistance from the
United States unless he first eradi
Gates the suspicion that he is in
league with German interests.
