MEXICAN PAPER WARNS
CARRANZA TO LINE
UP WITH THE ALLIES

International News Service:
SAN ANTONIO. Tex, April 90
A strong plea for Pres't CarranZa to
align himself with the allies is made
today in an article in La Defensa, a
Mexican newspaper. rejecting opin-
ION along the border. The article
says:
Mexico is facing a tragic moment
by cOndOning German propaganda
and in event some action Is not i'm
mediately taken. war with America
will result and Mexico will become
another martyred Belgium. Neutral
ity as it is understood in Mexico
means 'pro-Germanism.'
"In event of war Mexico has moth
ing to expect from Germany. but
alignment with America will mean
money. arms, munitions, active CO.
operation of the United States and
might be the difference between
Mexico's salvation and her destruc-
ton"

FIGHTERS ATTEND
CABINET CONFABS

neutrality-suspicious. Of The
Associated Press.) - Representa-
tiyes of the British fighting forces
on land and sea attend every meet
ing of the British war cabinet,
communicate to the members of
the cabinet the latest information
concerning the war and consult
with them on important questions.
AT these conferences the army is
represented by Major General Sir
Henry Hughes Wilson. chief of the
imperial staff, and the navy by
Vice Admiral Sir Rosslyn Wemyss.
first sea lord of the admiralty.
How the British war cabinet
operates in deciding upon war poll
cies and directing Britain's share in
the war is told in the annual report
OF the cabinet now published for
the first time in history.
AT each meeting" says this Of
fetal statement of the workings Of
the inner circles of the British gov
eminent, the cabinet begins by
hearing reports as to the progress
of the war since the preceding day.
Unless il wishes to cOnfine its de-
alterations to general questions of
policy. it then proceeds to deal
with questions awaiting its deci-
sion. AS these questions in the vast
majority of cases affect one or more
of the administrative departments.
almost all its meetings are attend
ed by the ministers and their chief
departmental officials concerned.
The majority of the sessions of
the war cabinet consist, therefore.
of a series of meetings between
members of the war cabinet and
those responsible for executive ac-
ton at which questions Of policy
concerning those departments are
discussed and settled. Questions
of overlapping or conflict between
are determined and
the general lines of policy through
out every branch of the administra-
ton coordinated so as TO form part
Of a consistent war plan.
Ministers who are not members
Of the war cabinet are permitted TO
bring with them TO the cabinet
experts from their own
or from elsewhere and
often do SO when expert opinion is
needed 10 decide an important ques-
ton.
In peace times, sessions OF the
British cabinet we're tnfrequent but
under war pressure this has
changed. The war cabinet has held
300 sessions In the past year"

German submarines are down
hearted and often extremely nerv-

have been torpedoed and who have
thus had an opportunity to observe
the Germans bear testimony to this
fact. In the official records of the
submarine war, says the Manches-
ter Guardian, again and again the
submarine crews are described as
very depressed' or very nervous. q"
Here is one description: Master
and crew all agree and were very
much struck by the pallid appear
ance of the officers and crew of the
submarine, and by their nervous
and excited manner The captain
of the submarine was continually
urging haste and the officer who
was placing the bombs could hardly
hold them from the condition OF
nervous tension in. which he ap-
peaTed to be"

long in England, speaking to the
