SAYS CARANzA IS ENEMY
Archaeological, After Year In Mexico,
Says Its Government Is
Band Of Outlaws.

Washington. Carranza's rule Of
Mexico is mot a government, but a
band of outlaws both technically and
practically" and to-day it is utterly
impossible, an enemy of its own peo-
pie first and America second" William
Gates Of Baltimore, an archaeologist
told the house rules committee. Gates
said his opinions we're based on first
hand study of Mexican conditions for
about a year, beginning in July, 1917,
during which time he visited parts of
the country usually not seen by a
traveller, including the states of Yucca
tan, Vera Cruz, Pueblo, Morales and
Oaxaca. He asserted that the gov
eminent is a "band Of outlaws"

ITALY AGAIN FACES
FOOD SHORTAGE
ALL FOOD IS TO BE STRICTLY

situation in Italy, Senator Scaramella
Maneti, president OF the Rome Cham

been appointed by the mayor as a
member OF the food commission ia
fix prices, said to the World CORE
spondent:
ITALY must further reduce it's food
consumption, which through the wan
was always less per head than that OF
ho~ allies. N spite Of three meatless
days per week, when the pitcher
shops are closed, there is great scar
city. We have less than half theliVs
stock supply of 1915.
1T will be necessary for the gov
eminent to rsquistion all food held
by big handlers and big producers, SO
that retailers can restock at possible
prices. Under pressure Of public in
dignation against greedy proflteers,
store prices were fixed below the
prices paid by retail sellers. AS re
suit many stores hid their goods OF
sold out rapidly. They havo not been
restocked because the wholesalers de
mand more than the retUil rrices fixed
by the commission Unless we act
promptly we must face famine. All
food must again be strictly rationed. "
Il am amazed at tho prlyat'ons the
Italians are undergoing" a Red Cross
official said who had just arrived from
Constantinople and districts in Jugt
Slavia, Greece, and the Balkan states.
II saw far more food not only In
Greece, which was not hit by the war
but in poor devastated Roumania, In
Macedonia, Jugo Slavia and Constan.

bread, meat, sugar and flour. II
seems to me that Italy's allies are woe

the Committee on For
elgn Relations.

Washington. The special treaty
with France, promising immediate
American aid to that republic in re-
polling any unprovoked attack by Ger
many, was sent to the senate by Presi
dent Wilson.
In his message urging ratification
the president declared the promise a
temporary supplement-" to the treaty
with Germany and the league OF ma
lions covenant, designed to give to
France protection in an emergency
without awaiting the advice Of the
league to act" He pointed out that
a similar promise had been made by
Great Britain and said that by the
obligation the United States but par
TALLY discharged a debt to France
which nothing car pay" in full.
The senate received the message
in open session and referred the treaty
without discussion to the foreign rela-
lions committee.
There was no reference In the mes
sage to the senate criticism, which
was based on clause of the treaty
requiring that it be submitted to the
senate of the United States at the
same time as the treaty of Yer
sailles," presented by the president on
July 10. The message did refer to
this clause, however, saying that it
was provided that the two treaties be
"the subject Of consideration at the
same time" and adding that as op-
portunity now had been offered to ex-
anime the Versailles treaty it was
opportune to present the other
Departing from his custom Of de-
livering his message to congress in
person, the president transmitted the
treaty and his request for ratification
by messenger. Both became public
by tho senate's unanimous agreement
to remain In open session while the
message was read and to print it and
the treaty in the record. The request
that this course be followed was made
by Chairman Lodge Of the foreign re.
lations committee.

SIBERIAN RAILROAD.
WILSON ADVISES SENATE
Arc operatlns, Under Agreement wiz
Japan-Expedltion Has Orders
To Not Interfere In Rus
sian Affairs.

Washington. President Wilson In
formed the senate in response to
resolution by Senator Johnson, repub
Iican of California, that the presence
OF American troops in Siberia was
vital element" in the restoration ant
maintenance Of traffic on the Siberian
railroad, and that under the agreement
with Japan they could be withdraw
only when the American railway ex
perts operating the road were with
drawn.
The president said Siberia could b.
protected from a further period o.
chaos and anarchy only by keeping
the railroad open, and that lacking
the prime essentials Of life, the peo
pie there were looking to the United
States and the allies for economic as
sistance. This already is being ex
tended and additional supplies are t.
be sent forward.
Rowing bands, having no connection
with any organized government IL
Russia, are menacing the railroad, the
president said, and consequently itt
protection by the military Is neces
sary. American troops, he said, now
are engaged in guard duty at Vladi
vostok and around Verchne, Udinsk
A small body is also at Hardin.
The original purposes Of the Amer
lean military expedition, Mr. Wilson
wrote, were two fold:
The saving Of the Czecho-Slovak
forces and the steadying of the ef
forts of the Russians at self-defensC
or the establishment of law and or
der in which they might be willing
to accept assistance
Maj Gen. Graves, commanding the
expedition Of 5000 men, was spe
officially directed not to interfere in
Russian affairs, the president said
but to support, wherever necessary
John H. Stevens, the American rail
way engineer, who is carrying out the
work of rehabilitating the Siberian
railroad under the direction Of the In
terallied committee.
