International Apprehension Reused
by Carranza's Determination to
War on Palace and His Army.
SUSPECT GERMAN INFLUENCE
Situation Of Vital Concern to Enc
mics of Kaiser Because Of Hugo
Volume Of Oil Shipped From That
Port TO Allies.
tBy Associated pr.s,.l f,

WASHINGTON. November 15.-Inter-
national apprehension has been arcused
by the apparent determination Of
President Carranza. Of Mexico, to drive
the ong-unmolested Manuel Palace and
his little rebel army from the oil fields
near Tampico. There was evident to-
day In allied legations and embassies
here a feeling tina German influence
had played Il part in starting this move,
which may prove embarrassing to the
Kaiser's IN
General Manuel DieGuez has been
sent into the field at tho head OF a
considerable force with orders to clear
the country between San Luis Potosi
and Tampico Of rebels. Already he has
defeated one body of rebel troops and
killed Masdaiena Ccdillo. one Of the
two Cedillo brothers. who long have
been the leaders of the revolutionists
in that part Of Mexico.
FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS
DISPLAY CHEAT CONCERN
Representatives of foreign govern
ments display more concern over the
news of the campaign against Palaez
than they have over any reccn, de-
%velopment in Mexican affairs. News
OF minor revolts in different parts Of
Mexico, even the activities of the
Nillistas along the border, have failed
to arouse great interest, but the Tam
pico situation is OF vital concern. be-
cause Of the huge volume of oil shipped
from that port to the allies.
Carranza has directed campaigns
against various rebel chieftains, but
never before has made d serious effort
to disposscss Palace. who has exactcd
taxes from the foreiG ners owning the
oil wells. who also were aging heavy
taxes to the established government.
The Carranza government has not re-
garded the aynen of money by tho
foreigners to Palace as a friendly act,
bu the allies justified their course
on the grounds of necessity. In return
for the money they paid they received
immunity.
The fear now frankly expressed is
that a determined action by the Car
rama government may result in the
lonS-fearcd attempt TO destroy the oil
properties. but in some quarters here
1t is believed that Carranza will hest
tate to drive the rebels to that point.
in view of the political and economic
dangers involved.
Reports from Mexico City indicate
some Improvement in revolutionary
conditions south of the capital, al
though the operations of Zapata in
Morelos and of rebels whose leader is
said TO he Felix Diaz in Chiapas are
OF sufficient Importance to occupy the

WHAT GERMAN VICTORY
 WOULD MEAN TO AMERICA

Contributed by Mary Austin to the National Security Leagues campaign of Patriotism Through Education.)
 do not see how any student of hu- man history can doubt that German victory in this war would mean that most of our four hundred years fight for political liberty has been in vain.
 If you ask any, number of Amert- cans of foreign extraction, and we are all of us that at some date, why they came to America, you will find that it was to escape one of the things that Germany stands for, or to seek one of the things that Germany denies.
 With what risks and pains our fore, fathers crept from under the shadow of autocracy and militarism and with what horror of darkness we see it stretch across the seas to us again! And behind the shadow is another menace so far removed from Amerf- can thought that even yet we scarcely appreciate what it means, the loss of all that high ground of spiritual and political cooperation on which men and women meet together in America. No one can keep pace with the Ger man thought uncovered in this war
