Luis Cabrera, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, said today in an interview
published in GEL Excelsior" that he
is pleased that President Wilson has
assumed charge of negotiations with
Mexico, because owing to his broad
and liberal policy it is not likely that
the Jenkins case will be made a pre-
text for invasion of this republic by
American armies.
Cabrera is reported as saying that
he believed his views represented that

WASHINGTON, December 10
Neither the State Department nor
Ambassador Bonillas has had any
word as to when a reply from Mex
leo to the last American note will
arrive.
A crisis is believed near in Mexican
internal affairs. 1t is reported upon
advices received here, that President
Carranza has had for the past fort
night, at Tacuba, a suburb of the
City of Mexico a special train, with
steam up, and everything all in readi-
ness for him (Carranza) to leave the
federal capital at a moments notice.
These precautions apparently are due
to belief that clash Is likely to
occur at any time beseen Carranza
forces and those of General Obregon,
candidate for the presidency.
According to advices received by the
State Department the Mexican pc
troleum bill, which is vigorously OPP
posed by American oil interests, was
passed by the Mexican Senate Mon

RED CROSS NURSES
COMMIT SUICIDE.
Cromwell Sisters Jump From Home.
ward-Bound Ship.

Bordeaux, Jan. 24-Misses Gladys
and Dorothy Cromwell, sisters Of New
York, leaped from the rail Of the
French steamer La Lorraine as the
steamer was in the Garonne River
bound for New York today. Both
we're drowned. The bodies have not
yet ben recovered.
Both the young women belonged to
the American Red Cross and were re-
turning home. A letter found in their
stateroom and addressed to the COM
nanding officer of their Red Gross
1nit, informed him of their intention
TO end it ALL"
The Misses Cromwell had spent
much time at the front and friends
said they had complained of being
tired physically and mentally.
The Cromwell sisters were twins
23 years old. They had been in the
service of the Red Cross since Feb.
ruary, 1913, most of the time al
Chalons-Sur-Marn where they were
engaged in canteen work. For sever
al months they were within range Of
the German guns and in the midst
OF constant airplane raids.
When the canteen closed the sis.
ters entered the evacuated hospitals
where they continued work under
high pressure. Miss Barnett, the i'm
mediate superior officer Of the
Misses Cromwell, told the Associated
Press that they were the best liked
and the most devoted workers she
had. Miss Barnett believes that the
reaction from the long strain and
high nervous tension under lombard
nent caused the sisters to become
lepondent. They were cheerful and
happy when they left Paris, she
said.

adjust" ACREAGE
ADVICE FOR SOUTH.
Farmers Urged to Produce Less Cot
ton and More of Necessaries.

Washington, Jan. 26-Farmers OF
the South were advised, in state
ment issued by the department of ag-
riculture today, that it would be wise
to adjust cotton acreage this year so
as to have available sufficient land to
produce enough food and feed for
their families and live stock.
eff industrial conditions in all the
cotton consuming countries do not
reach normal, and if the industry is
not restored, the consumption Of cot
ton will be substantially less than
pre-war acreage requirements" said
the statement. with practically COM
plete restoration cotton consumption
may well be expected to equal the
normal or pre-war times on account
Of present shortage of cotton goods
IN various countries. The economies
which the people of Europe must
practice for some years to come must
be considered"
Average requirements outside the
United States were given as 1900
600 bales, domestic requirements g.
10000 bales. The American 1918
crop is estimated at 100, 900 bales.
After domestic consumption require
nents are taken care of there will be
an exportable surplus of 100000
bales. Other producing countries have
an estimated surplus of about 3 $780,
600 bales, making total present sur
plus stocks for the world about s.
100000 bales, against 1900, 200
bales in requirements. The apparent
deficit therefore is 4,730,000 bales,
the department statement says, but
from this gross amount should be de-
Quoted the carry over at the end of
the 1888 season. Unless there is
a very marked increase in exports
there will be a considerable carry
over. Estimates of the carry over are
placed at 3.230,OO0 bales. With a
carry over of that amount the ap-
parent deficit is reduced to 1,500,-,
900 bales.
Pointing out that the 1918 yield
was greatly decreased by unfavorable
weather, the departments statement
said the same acreage this year, with
average weather, would produce at
least 100000 bales more than the
1913 crop.
"In many sections Of the South"
said the statement, diversified farm
ing should be practiced to a larger
extent. Many farms and plantations
are still devoted entirely to cotton
and fail to produce sufficient food
stuffs for the families or feed for the
live stock. Such system is hazard
Gus, since success or failure is de-
pendent upon single crop, subjected
to the influence of the weather, dis
sase, transportation and markets. A
careful study of the situation, has
resulted in the recommendation that
each farm, each community and each
section of the South should produce
as far as possible its own food and
feed for the sake of economic pro-
auction and to savetransportation
costs and intervening profits where
the purchase must be made from dis
tant sections. In other words. the food
and feed of the South should be pro-
auced on the farms of the South"
