Mexico Planning
Embargo Under
German Pressure
Officials in Washington Say
Move Would Bring
War

Washington, April 1.-THE Mexican
government, doubtless at German in
stigation, is planning an embargo on
"articles Of first necessity" including
petroleum. This intelligence was re-
oeivcd at the State Department to-day
from reliable sources in Mexico.
II such an embargo were put into
effect. the ultimate result. it was stated
on high authority, would be war with
the United States. although the use of
force might be limited to safeguarding
supplies Of oil and other prime neces-
sites.
In Entente quarters 1t was said that
any such action as that contemplated
by the Carranza government would be
unneutral. in that il would be imposing
unusual restrictions upon one alliance
and denying TO it the rights which 1t
has been enjoying ever since the war
began. and to which it is entitled under
international law and treaties.
The United States. it is understood,
will use It's good Offices to induce Mex
leo not to attempt an embargo. II is
impera.ively necessary for Great Brit
ain TO obtain petroleum from the Tam
pico and other oil fields of Mexico.
Britain is prepared for any emergency,
her diplomats having been aware for
some time Of the growing dangerous in
f,uence of German officials and inter
ests in Mexico.

Washington, April ll.-All doubt

Stars and Stripes
Carried at Vimy
Texan with Canadians Spread
Banner from Bayonet as
He Stormed Ridge

Ottawa. April 1.-THE Stars and
Stripes went into battle, for the first
time during the world war, during the
recent Entente storming of Nimy Ridge,
in France, according TO an unofficial
dispatch received here to-day from
Canadian army headquarters in Europe.
"To a young Texan, who came to
Ontario to enlist and who is now lying
wounded in the hospital" the dispatch
reads, belongs the honor of first car
rying the American flag into battle in
the European war, into which the Unit
ed States. as belligerent. has just en-
tered He went up TO the assault at
Thelus. carrying the Stars and Stripes
on his bayonet and fell thus"
Advices to the militia department
indicate the Canadian casualties around
Vimy were eiZhty-nine officers. At the
usual percentage this would mean
about 200 men. The figures are con-
sidered light in view of the number en-
gagged.
The dispatch says that the victory OF
the Canadians in the struggle for Nimy
Ridge is more thorough than indicated
BY first reports. much war material
was left behind BY the fleeing foe the
dispatch said.

Britons To Be Called
Home for War Duty
Many in Neutral Countries and
l.. S. Face Summons

Washington, April ll.-British sub
jects in all neutral countries have been
requested by their government to regis
ter at the English consulates, the object
of the London authorities being to take
a new census of Englishmen in for
eign lands with a view of determining
who are fit and OF military age. 1t was
believed in British circles here to-day
that soon after the completion of this
census those available will be called
to the colors for service at the front.
The order does not cover the United
States, which is now belligerent, but
it was considered probable that meas
ures would be adopted looking also
toward securing for service Britishers
in this country. There are believed TO
be scattered throughout the world,
especially in China and in the Ameri-
cas-, many thousands of Englishmen,
who. while not properly classed as
slackers. have not availed themsel Ives OF
their opportunity TO enlist and who are
now needed in the British army.

Wilson Requests
Goethals to Build
1000 Cargo Ships
President Approves Ship
ping Boards Plan to De-
feat U.Boat Campaign
fFrom The Tribune Bureaul

Washington, April 1.-THE Shipping
Board has received the Presidents
sanction to its plan to build 1000 cargo
ships of 5000 tons burden, and Major
General George Goethals, builder oi
the Panama Canal, was formally re-
ouested by President Wilson to-day TO
take charge of the building OF the
ships.
Increase Of overseas tonnage IS re-
garded as an imperative need to de-
feat the German submarine campaign
and keep UP the flow of supplies to the
Entente Allies Consequently, the great
est Importance is attached to the plans
of the Shipping Board for building
wooden ships. The entire resources OF
available shipbuldng yards are to be
used for the purpose.
The President earnestly hopes that
General Goethals will undertake the
work. and if he does so he will be placed
in general charge. with unlimited au-
thoritv TO organize the building faclll-
ties. Recently the general accepted the
position of state Engineer OF ne" 'e'
sov. but it is understood that his con-
tract allows him to give up the work II
called upon to perform public duties.
The shipping board has $5o,ooo,ooV1
at its disposal for the construction ana
purchase of vessels, and 1T is estimated
that beginning early in the fall SHIPS
at the rate of 10000 tons month can
be turned out. oo
In 1916 the United States had 60O,oCO
tons of shipping in the transatlantic,
trade. During a meeting of railroad
executives here to-day the question
was taken up of making arrangements
so that ships now on the Great Lakes
and in the coastwise trade could be
utilized for oceangoing commerce
Under such plan, to be put INTO
effect only as rapidly as the railroads
can provide facilities to take the place
of the lakes and coastwisc shipping, II
is estimated that the present transat-
lantic tonnage of the United States can
be doubled. and possibly trebled.
The use of German merchant ships
now in American harbors will add ap-
proximately 100000 tons to the supply
Of the United States. Estimates are
now being made on the cost of repair
ing the damaged machinery of these
vessels

Butter and Egg Boards

New York and Chicago Ex'
changes Abolish Futures

Chicago, April 1l.-Speculation III
butter and eggs on the Chicago Butter
and Egg Board was ended "as a pa
triotic duty" by unanimous vote Of the
directors to-day. This was accom-
piished by abolishing all rules cover
ing deals in these products for future
delivery. Dealers desiring to assure
stocks for future delivery may deal
directly with shippers as individuals.
f. Edward Davis, president of the
hoard said "The vote of the directors
meeting was one of patriotism and it
ou,weiehed the hardship which the
rule will work on most Of us. Eggs
and butter will be bought and sold
over the counter"
Mr.. Davis said that while the rule
WAS of course not binding on what
traders might do through channels out
side the board, the sentiment was
AGAINST anv methods which might dis
trrb. or be thought to disturb, the law
Of supply and demand.
Beginning to-day, all dealing in fut-
ures on the New York Butter and Egg
Exchange will be suspended. This
action was taken yesterday by unan-
imous vote of the Board of Directors.
One of the directors. Benjamin Tit
man. said last night that the matter
had been considered for some time
and that Yesterdays action was mere
lv the result of a growing conviction
that all gambling in food products
must be done away with.
