BY HARRY 3. HUNT.
Special Staff Dispatch.

Washington, May 14.-German agents
in Mexico, capitalizing the recent Ger
man advances in France as great Ger
man victories presaging the early de-
feat Of the allies and the United
States, are seeking to fan again into
flame the MeXican's latent hatred for
the "gringos' and to precipitate trou-
BILE between the United States and
Mexico.
By this they hope to complicate
Uncle Sans war problems, force the
retention of a considerable part OF our
army in this country to guard the
border, and weaken our participation
in this years fighting in France.
Official information in Washington
is that German influence has been
busy with Carranza, and been even
more busy in attempting to inflame
general Mexican dislike of the United
States, and to swing popular suppors
behind the idea voiced in the now
famous Zimmerman note, that now is
the time for Mexico to re establish her
old boundaries on the north, seizing
parts of Texas, New Mexico and Ariz-
Ona.
German agents have been numer,
GUS in Mexico for years. When the
United States entered, the war, a
great number of Germans who had
been busy in this country got over
the line into Mexico. The result is a
doubly strong German population
made up of the most active propa.
gandists the kaiser had both in Mex,
leo and this country.
For six weeks these Germans have
been proclaiming daily German vic
tories in France. They have cele-
brated with festivities and otherwise
impressed the Mexican people with
the view that the allies were being de-
feated All this has tended to con
vince the Mexican mind that the vic.
tor in the war will be Germany and
that therefore, it will be to Mexico.s
advantage to follow German sugges-
tions.
Just what aggressive measures are
being taken by Mexico for a possible
attack on our border states cannot be
told. But it is acknowledged that
there has been a greater movemenc
of troops to the border by Mexico
than is justified by patrol necessities.
Also, within the last month, there
have been three raids across the Dor.
der, attended with the loss of lives
Of Texas ranchers.
Carranza has insisted that these
were bandit forays, and that he is at
tempting to suppress such raids.
Despite what Mexican enyoys in
Washington say, and the silence of the
state department, official Washington
acknowledges that the Mexican 'situa-
tion is disturbing. and has consider
able elements of danger.

LONDON PAPERS
ARE OPTIMISTIC
Much Confidence is Placed
in American Troops in
Western Drive.

London, June 1.-The gravity of the
news from the western front is en-
phasized in this mornings newspapers
which comment anxiously on the sit
uation. Although they express hope
fulness as to the final outcome.
The Daily Telegraph sees great pos
sibilities in the strategic situation.
Asserting that the anxiety and stress
of the last few days are not diminish-
ing, it adds:
''It would appear that second bat
tie OF the Marne, of far greater in
tensity and weight than in s1s14. lis
opening, but in totally different cir
cumstances. The difference, however.
is as much to the advantage to the
allies as to the enemy" Il
The Daily Express says: Never since
the. outbreak of the war has the sit
uation been more menacing or have
the possibilities been greater, yet the
country remains unperturbed, almost
Indifferent. This faith is not based on
reason. ~ i.
Confidence in American help is
shown in the comment Of several
newspapers. The Daily Mail enumer-
ates the strong points in favor of the
allies. including "the rapid arrival of
American troops. which will speedily
restore the allies preponderance in
numbers"
he.sTimes also refers to the day
when the arrival of Americans will
more than reverse the present pro-
portions
The American war power is grow
ing fast" it says. 1.-The whole nation
is behind the army as it has never
been behind any movement yet, and
it is a nation of 100,0O0,000 free men
who have never known defeat. Until
they join us in full force our business
is to hold on. When they so join us,
victory will.be at our DOORS"
The Telegraph finds Substantial
encouragement" in such facts as the
American success at Cantigny, which
it praises highly as an exhibition of
a mastery method of fighting. It plac-
es reliance on the formidable Ameri-
can hosts now preparing to engage
the enemy"

ORGANIZED EFFORTS
WILL HELP MUCH in
CONSERVING FOOD

Aberdeen. S. D., June 1.-The peo-
pie OF America can accomplish much
in food conservation by organized vol
ynteer effort, according to figures just
given out by G.. N. Herreid, federal
food administrator for South Dakota.
Careful figuring estimates that the
surplus Of exportable wheat in this
country from the 1917 crop totaled
only about 20 to 80 million bushels.
The United States has already Sent
to the allied countries nearly 120 mil
lion bushels, and it is now hoped that
this figure will be increased to $50
million bushels or above, before the
new crop comes in. K
Since wheat is -of greater military
necessity and assistance to the allied
countries than even munitions Of war,
the value Of this cooperation and saw
ing on the part of the patriotic people
Of the country can be realized from
these figures, Mr.. Herreid declared. s
The food administration, he said, Is
confident that thSre will be even a
better response to- the wheat saving
plea, now that the vital necessity for
the shipment Of wheat to the allies is
being stressed.
