ASSURES CONGRESS
President of Mexico Defends
His Acts.

MEXICO CITY. Sept. 2.-Presldent Car
ranza in his address at the opening or
the twenty -et7hth session bf Congress to-
night dwelt at length on internal and
foreign questions as they affect the re-
public
He declared II was the determination
of Mexico TO maintain the strictest neu-
trality. He defended the course OF the
republic in the issuance of oil land de-
crees.
The neutrality policy. the President
said. had been adhered TO by a major
portion OF the Mexican citizenry, and the
Government had met the various critical
situations with complete regard to ma
tional honor. Mexico's honor had equally
been upheld against acts directed against
residents In the United States by the
American authorities In recruiting for
the United States Army, and finally in
the Nogales Incident. which the Presi-
dent asserted was merely local dis
turbance.

Lord Cecil En- phasizes Princi-
pie of Pool Governing
Food and Shipping.
AVOID GERMAN METHOD
Refuse to Make Nations Slaves
as Teutons Are Subject
to General Staff.

LONDON, Sept. 2.-Lord Robert Cecil
Assistant Secretary OF State for Foreign
Affairs, at a dinner tonight celebrating
the conclusion Of the deliberations of the
Allied Maritime Transport Council In
London, made an announcement respect
ing the pooling OF allied shipping. He
also alluded to the pooling OF allied food
supplies and OF allied munitions.
incidentally Lord Robert paid a
warm tribute to Walter Hines Page, the
retiring American Ambassador to the
Court OF St James's. who, he said, had
done so much to assist the allied cause
Following are salient passages from
the speech:
THE Allied Maritime and Transport
Council was established last December
at meeting Of all the Allies. 1t has
grown and its organization has been
completed but It's central principle re
mains what It always was the necessity
OF allied control for allied supplies.
We have seen lately much to cheer
us. But that Is no reason for diminished
effort, but rather for increased effort.
Now is the time to strike a definite and
nnal blow at our enemies. So far az the
actual fighting Is concerned that is in
other hands. which give us no anxiety.
In order to feed our armies. apart
from our civil population. we have to
pool all our resources and we must bring
together the whole economic strength Of
our allies. The accomplishment Of that
task is not 70 easy.
I'm this and many other matters we
are fighting under a certain disadyan-
tage. Our enemies have been content
"a al.
General Stan. That gives them a GER
tain unity OF control. a certain perfec-
ton OF machinery. which II is difficult
for us to initiate. For. after all, the
essential part Of our struggle Is that we
are free nations: that we claim, and
rightly 30, the right TO decide each for
ourselves what is necessary in the in
terests OF the general cause.
That is true. do not wish il
otherwise. am satisfied that with all
Its Inconvenience it gives us a spiritual
strength which ultimately will secure us
victory over the enemy But II we are
TO succeed despite our freedom we must
be prepared to scrap national prejudice,
national sentiment and even. I would
say, national interests.
The sufferings Of France and Italy.
not to speak OF the smaller Allies, such
as Belgium have been greater than Jur
own. That makes all the more neces-
sary the pooling Of our resources. II our
sacrifices are to be in any degree equal
The principal organization for which
we are pressing il control OF allied ship
ping. examination and control Of allied
Leeds. and also OF resources 10 supply
those needs. IT is the coordination of
needs and resources with shipping which
would make an overwhelming economic
power Of the alliance to which we all
belong
I'VE have done a great deal. 1t is
we'll that everybody should know. even
that our enemies should know. how
much We have done. The best example
OF our efforts In the matter Of allied need
and supply has been the wheat execu-
tive. II has done wonderful work"

Sept 2.--American troops fighting with

further progress to-day in the voorme-

through Voormezeele in an easterly d.

ance
The British. assisted by the American
troops, continue to advance in the Lys
salient on the heels of the retiring Ger
mans, driving the enemy rear guards be-
fore them, Dolieu and lie Verrier have

On their entrance into voormezeele
Yesterday the Americans found that all
mat remained of the town were piles Of
debris. for the shellfire had been SO in
tense that hardly one brick was left
standing upon another
As the Americans advanced the Ger
man rear guards from what little cover
remained opened up. with their machine
guns, but these were quickly silenced
without much trouble. Elsewhere in
the same locality the Americans also ad-
vanced the line, keeping in contact with
the retreating enemy.
Counter attacks by the Germans re-
suited in their gaining little more than
slight foothold, which in every case
was quickly loosened by British and
American rear attacks. In most places
the Germans did not even get a foothold,
Tor the advancing formations were met
with hurricanes Of fire under which they
melted away.

Copyright 1918 all rights rcsrrred
LONDON. Sept. 1.-The action of the
Madrid Government in seizing an in
termed German steamship as compensa-
tion for the destruction OF the Spanish
ship Atexeri Mendi has brought Spanish
German relations to a critical point, re-
ports from Madrid indicate.
1t Is also said the anti-German feeling
has increased to such an extent that the
Government is drastically enforcing the
espionage laws to prevent an outbreak
that might compromise Spain's neutral
Ivy. The law guaranteeing the liberty
or the press has been temporarily sus-
pended in order to head Off infiammatory
publications
Spaniard in close touch with diplo-
matte circles in London said
The situation Is very difficult The
Spanish Government has striven ear
nestly to remain neutral, but the out
RACES committed against our neutrality
have compelled us TO act The Govern
ment has the support of the Spanish
people. Everybody in Spain. despite the
German propaganda. Is indignant that
our shipping should be sunk, and resent
ment against the German outrages runs
high"
In diplomatic circles here II Is believed
that so long as Spain refrains from
using the seized ship an actual rupture
may be avoided. but should the German
snip be sent to sea under a Spanish flag
break Is regarded as inevitable

spreading false reports In an effort to
delude the Allies.
Conflicting news regarding the condi-
ton of Denine was spread yesterday.
Official bulletins from Petrograd re-
ported that he was improving. in spite
OF the report via Copenhagen, that he
had succumbed to his wounds. A Rus
sian official wireless despatch to-day
from Moscow said;
At $50 O'Clock Sunday night
Premier Lenine was sleeping very
well. There was no inflammation in
the wounds. There was rise in
temperature due TO the effusion OF
blood In the pleura.
Amsterdam forwarded despatch
that Lenine was out of danger and
added that 5000 Social Revolutonaries
have been arrested and sentenced to
death. This information reached Ans

which cited Moscow despatch as
