HOOVER WILL
GO TO BERLIN
BY JOHN DE GANDT


PARIS, Nov. 1e.--That Herbert
Hoover will 20 TO Berlin within two
weeks TO study the German food SIT
uation first hand. was the belief ex-
pressed here today.
The plea of the Germans that
continuance OF the blockade will
cause great hardship owing 10 the
food shortage is expected to be
thoroly investigated by competent
allied authorities under Hoovcr's di-
rection.
Should the blockade be lifted, IL is
pointed out. the entire food distribu.
ton system OF the world would be
disrupted, as the Germans would be
enabled to go into the open market
and bid against the allied and neu.
tral countries.
Aside from military consideration
continuance OF the blockade is
deemed necessary as guarantee
that Germany will take her place
in the food line.

DIPLOMATS TO MEND
NEW RIFT IN MEXICO
Washington Believes Negotia.
tions Will Compose Matter
of Tampico Shooting
Washington. Dec. 16.

Diplomatic relations between the
United States and Mexico, over clash
between the American steamship
Monterey's armed guard and Tampico
authorities. are expected to straighten
out the difficulties.
The State Department officially holds
that the Mexicans began the trouble. in
which there were two Mexicar "''al' les
and one American reported wounded.
The Mexican internal situation is.
and has been. continually dubious, but
the troubles there have been overlooked
in the overshadowing developments of
the world war.
The latest turn of events in Mexico
Is a reported attempt to foment revo-
luton for the overthrow of the Car
rama Government
The United States will frown on any
such movement in Mexico at the present
time, in the opinion Of officials and dip
lomats.
President Wilson's Mobile address ad-
vising Latin-America against employ
ment of force in government changes.
would be the basis of Washington 3
absolute refusal to recognize any gov
ernment set up by the anti-Carranza
revolutionists.
It Is known that MeXico's gold sur
plus is low. and 1t Is regarded as doubt
full If a government could succeed with
out ultimate support and credits from
the United States.
There Is good reason to believe that
certain American, and British oil inter-
ests might give financial support to the
anti-Carranza agitators.
