DELAWARE CITY LINE
BLOCKED BY DRIFTS

Trolley service between New Castle

the tides still interfere with work. At

open as far as Rogers corner.
At the c0mpany's Office lt was said
yesterday that considerable trouble
was being experienced in keeping the
city tracks open owing 10 the auiOmo-
mobile traffic. The snow after being
cleared from tracks is pushed back on
them by automobiles causing the
sweepers TO be in continual service.
Traffic on Market street. netr Ninth,
was blocked about Q o'clock this morn
ing. by an automobile breaking down
on the track.
Operation OF the trolley service be-
tween Wilmington and New Castle has

WZLSON WON'TCET
EXCITED OVER NEW
MEXICANOJTRACE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 UNITED Press). d.
The familiar old Mexican crisis" is
a thing OF the past as far as this ad-
Is concerned.
Kidnapping Of Joseph Askew by
Mexican bandits will not be permitted
to develop into anything approaching
a crisis" It was learned authoritatively
today. Carranza has been asked to
rescue Askew and there may be an ex-
change Of notes, but the specter OF
trouble will be kept In the background.
The administration evidently has de-
termined to hand the Mexican problem
over to the next President and It's
policy is TO refuse to get excited over
antics. unless there IS some
really serious break comparable for ex-
ample, 10 Villas raid in 1916.
Meanwhile. however, the Government
IS watching events In Mexico with the
the greatest Interest. The Mexican
elections in July, 10 is be-
lieved here, may result in victory for a
candidate who viii be friendly to the
United States instead Of covertly hos
tile like Carranza. In that event the
problem probably VII cease to
exist before President Wilson leaves
the White House.
Revolutionary developments below
the border are also being watched with
keen attention. II would not surprise

eral Alyaro Obregon. Carranza Is
anxious to Indefinitely postpone the
election on the ground that ian uncer-
tain state" exists in the country. Should
It be so, Obregon. a strong contender
for the presidency, Is expected to start
shooting.
He has a large following.
The new policy with regard TO Mexico
was entered into at the time OF the
Jenkins crisis" II was formulated
by President Wilson. Secretary Lans-
ing was engaged In brisk dispute with
Carranza over jenkins Imprisonment
when Wilson interyened. The United
States also lost interest In the case ap-
parently, after Mexico had caused
jenkins to be elected from jail, thus
eliminating the dramatic feature from
the crisis
Il Is believed here that Henry p.
Fletcher, former Ambassador to Mexico
City, did not agree with the new policy
and that this caused him to resign.
The Fall committee is preparing
volumes Of evidence about Mexican out
RACES against Americans and It IS pre-
dicted these will be used before the end

to force Intervention. But the admin
istration will refuse TO intervene where
