Bread Prices Soaring.
Tho present price OF bread Is based
upon maximum grain prices averaging
$50 marks a ton for wheat and $40
marks for rye. The cost Of American
wheat is at least 1000 marks t2bo) a
ton, and when the present exchange and
cost Of transportation are considered the
price OF American -four with which the
Allies propose to supply Germany in
stead OF grain will reach. according TO
officials of the food ministry. 5000
marks (s75o) a ton.
Under the present straitened con-
dition OF German finances the Ministry
is utterly unable to carry the excess cost
by appropriations from the treasury.
The Food Ministry, therefore. proposes
to solve tho problem by keeping the
bread ration at the present amount and
price, although an increased ration Is
demanded everywhere, In making this
bread the Ministry will use such i'm
ported -four as 10 required to supplement
the homo stocks OF rye. II will sell the

Special DsspascA to The srS.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Diplomatic
complications between the United States
Government and First Chief Carranza
Of Mexico are again threatening as the
result OF bandit activities in Mexico
which the authorities appear powerless
to curb.
The State Department here has sent a
communication to Carranza demanding
full and prompt protection for James f..
Whetten. an American missionary. who
with Joseph c. Bentley. Mormon
Bishop, has been captured by Villstas
under Gen. Lopez in western Chihuahua
and Is being held for ransom.
Advices received by the State Depart
ment say that Lopez has captured the
villages OF Janos and Ascuncion. The
Villistas appear to be getting holder and
the means OF the Government troops TO
hold them In check seem to be lacking.
Much OF the trouble between Carranza
and the United States has resulted from
the activity OF the bandits in northern
Mexico. The United States Government,
taeks the position that Carranza Is re-
eponsible for the safety OF foreigners in
Mexico and that Il is the duty OF the
Mexican Government TO insure the pro-
lection of Americans. Otherwise Il
would be necessary for the United States
to take measures OF its own to protec,
American life and property as was the
case when Gen Pershings punitive ex'
petition went into Mexico to get Villa

British delegation.
Asked II the covenant might pro-
vide for race equality. Lord Robert
said that this could not be done with
out interfering with the internal af-
fairs OF various nations. which would
violate the principles OF the league.
Regarding the voluntary withdrawal
OF any nation from the league, Lord
Robert pointed out that there was
much to be said on both sides Of the
question.
Contrary to the view of the British
delegation, as expressed by Lord Rob.
ert, " Is said that the majority of the
five big nations contemplates attach
ing the League of Nations compact to
the peace treaty as an appendix. This
would enable Germany to sign the
treaty without securing admission to
the league. although at the same time
che would accept the declatory princi-
pies. 1t Is noted here that this deci-
sion is not final and that no final de-
cision has been reached.

Special interest attached to to-day's

ports OF Emergencies among the

ings were regarded as an earnest, de-
cisive effort to reconcile all views into
q common understanding for an early
conclusion OF peace in a comprehen-

as the League Of Nations.
The general situation as to the peace
treaty has been greatly clarified dur

Elm City Saloons Open.

New Haven, July 1.-Two out of every three saloons appeared to be open here today for the sale of 2.75 per cent. beer, following suggestions made at yesterdays meeting of the executive committee of the Connecti- cut Retail Liquor Dealers association. Among the saloons open was that of T. F. Fitzsimmons, secretary of the association, who heretofore kept his place closed. It is understood that no attempt to sell wines will be made. License holders who r%~aain closed are said to do so in order to be cer- tain that they will not be prosecuted.
 A liquor dealer arrested upon a federal warrant was held in 5000 bonds for a hearing before Commis- sioner Lynch later in the day, when five other dealers will be presented before the ommissioner, although it may happen that all cases will be con- tinued. Another dealer whose saloon was raided by city police yesterday was held also by the commissioner for a hearing, while in the city court his case for alleged violation of excise laws was continued until the 10th.
