ADMIRAL r. e. cooNTz CALLED
TO CONFER WITH AIDS OF
STATE DEPARTMENT.
Secret Meeting Held BY National Off.
eisls-Fear Is Expressed For Lives
of Americans in Case Rebels Launch
Attack on Sesports.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington.-A movement against
Mexico City and the Tampico oil fields
soon will be made by revolutionary
troops, according to a statement is
sued from headquarters here of the
Obregon revolutionary forces. The
attack upon Mexico will be made by
troops from Guerrero, In Mlchoacan
and Jalisco, II Is said The threat of
the attack upon Tampico has reached
official departments also and was the
cause of a secret conference between
b officials Of the Navy and State Depart
ments Admiral II. T.. Coontz, aide for
operations of the Navy Department,
attended the conference with mem
bers Of his staff. II was stated the
conference was made necessary by
fresh reports of an alarming nature
which have come from Mexico. Re
ports to the Navy Department are that
Tampico, as well as Mazatlan, Vera
Cruz and Mexico City, are in danger
Of attack
Officials who participated In the con-
ference discussed with Admiral Coontz
plans for protecting American citizens
at the ports which are understood to
be treatened. One official at the con-
ference is said to have expressed the
opinion that the dispatch of more ma
val vessels to the east and west coast
Of Mexico may be necessary. At this
time the only American vessels on
guard are the Salem and destroyer
McCauley on the west coast, and the
gunboat Sacramento near Tampic0.
Reports continue to be received that
President Carranza may attempt to
leave Mexico by the best route he can
find from the capital, probably by way
Of Vera Cruz.
II is believed here that IL Carranza
should present himself in Vera Cruz
it might be the signal for an outburst
which would endanger the lives OF
Americans at that port. All official
and press reports for the last 4S hours
bristle with news of DIRECTIONS from
the Carranza cause. Gen. Villareal has
announced at the border that Carran
za's own generals are deserving him
and suggesting to him that he resign
before the revolution proceeds further

The Germans seem 10 have given
satisfaction in regard to the armed
force to keep in the Ruhr district.
IL is not generally realized that this
section Of the Rhine Valley is i'm
portant because il is a center of
steel making. II bears something
in the relation TO Germany that
Pittsburg does to the United States.
1t also commands a waterway that
is of great Importance. Suspicion
OF German intentions was not with
out cause, inasmueh as that coun-
try has already been guilty of eff
forts to evade the treaty in UNDER
handed ways.
President Wilson used his in
fluence while in Paris to free both
Palestine and Armenia from Turk
lsh control. The conference al
san Reno completed the work.
England accepts the mandate over
Palestine and the Allies desire the
United States to take a mandate
over Armenia. 1t would be a de-
parture from tradition, but it would
be good place 10 make the start.
The task would be hard and pos
slbly expensive, but it would be a
righteous work. -

MEETING !.
] HERE TONIGHT
Commercial Club Committee
to Consider Mississippi
Highway Question.

A meeting Of the Good Roads COM
mittee OF the Commercial club will
be held tonight to consider the Ques-
ton Of extending the Mississippi
River Scenic Highway from Bemidji
to Winnipeg. via Grand Forks. Tru-
ran Pierson Of st. Louis. vice .presi-
Gent n general manager Of the
morning with r.. b. Griffith, chair
man of the Good Roads committee.
Mr.. Truman pointed out thai the
Mississippi River Scenic Highway
could be extended from BeminJi to
Grand Forks in cooperation. with the
Theodore Roosevelt Highway asso-
citation. He said that it would open
Chicago, via either Lacrosse, Wis, or
Clinton and Dubuque. Ia. The Lin
coin highway from Clinton to Chica-
go is to be paved next spring.
Mr.. Truman also said that an in
formation bureau for the benefit Of
tourists probably will be established.
Grand Forks is the logical location
for such a bureau, he said. If estab.
lished. the bureau will be in charge
of a full-time director, whose duties
will be to direct traffic and encour-
age tourists to travel over the high
ways he represents. This bureau
would be operated by the Mississippi
River Scenic Highway association in
cooperation with the Theodore
Roosevelt Highway association, he
said. At the present time. there Is
only n such bureau in the Twin
Cities. and it is operated by the yell
lowstone Trail. T.
After" comforting here yesterday
with Commercial club officials, MIR,
Pierson went to Crookston to confer
with road enthusiasts there. He re-
Urned here last night for further
conferences in this city. He expects
to leave tomorrow for Winnipeg.
