YADKINVILLE, YADKIN CO., N. C., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10, 1915 DRASTtC MEASURES MAY *E NECESSARY TO PROTECT MEXtCO C)TY. REFUSES THE A!D OF ALUES But Virtuatty Telia the Starving Peo ple to Help Themaelvea to Any thing in Sight. Washington. — President Wiison faced one of the most serious and perplexing deveiopments that has arisen in the Mexican situation. Mex ico City is on the verge of starvation. General Obregon the Carranza com mander. refuses to permit an interna tional relief committee, composed of wealthy members of the foreign col ony to succor the needy. "Mexico needs no foreign aid," the general is reported to have said. Ail merchants who ciosed their stores have been ordered to reopen. Three hundred of them. Mexicans, have been imprisoned. The popula tion is im terror Since Obregon has announced he will not prevent loot ing or piliaging for food or money. The Brazilian, British. Spanish and Italian ambassadors give the state department pessimistic reports of the situation, which correspond to reports already received. Secretary Bryan announced jihat he had telegraphed American Consul Stillman to lay the situation earnest ly before General Carranza, so that General Obregon might be directed to accept aid proffered by foreign resi dents. Freight service is suspended between Mexico City and Vera Cruz and transportation facilities for relief purposes are being withheld by Gen. eral Obregon on the ground of mili tary necessity. President WilBon was advised of all the facts. He was said to be studying the situation closely. Should General Obregon continue to refuse outside air, drastic measures may be necesstry. Talk of an allied expedi tion similar to the one that went to the relief of foreign legations at Pe king during the Boxer uprising was heard again in official quarters. PRESIDENT POSTPONES TRIP.

Assist ant Secretary Phillips of the State De partment, chairman of the Govern ment Exposition Board, also left for San Francisco to take part in the ex ercises in honor of representatives of foreign Governments. President Wilson reluctantly gave up his plans for going to the coast this month, but decided he v^as need ed in Washington to direct the nego tiations for the protection of Ameri can interests during the war. He may go later. The Vice President conferred with Secretary Bryan and Mr. Phillips, who discussed the trip with the President. The invitation to the Vice President to represent the President at the ex position followed and he accepted. iMPORTANT NEWS BRiEFS Col.

PROTEST MACE 10 ALUES IF IT IS INTENTION TO INTER RUPT COMMERCE WITHOUT DECLARING BLOCKADE. United Statea Will Aak Great Britain How They Intend to Carry Out Their Policy. Washington.—While President Wil son indicated that the United States would inquire of Great Britain and France as to how they propose to carry out their announced determina tion to prohibit commerciai inter course by sea with Germany, such action, it was stated later, probably wouid be deferred until replies were received from Great Britain and Ger many to the American proposals look ing to a cessation of the German sub marine warfare) on merchant ships and unrestricted passage of foodstuffs to civilian populations of the belliger ent nations. Germany's reply, as described in press dispatches, created a favorable impression here but until the text is received no official comment wiil be made. Great Britain's reply wiil depend to some extent on the attitude of her Aiiie8. There have been official inti mations*however, that she would flat ly reject the proposal for the shipment of foodstuffs and conditional contra band to Germany. The Anglo-French note outlining the Allies' intention to stop all com merce between Germany and neutral countries occupied the attention of of ficial Washington. President Wilson told inquirers he co\]d not deline the attitude of the American government i because he had not thoroughly di gested the contents of the communi cation. He pointed out that the notes mereiy had denied a policy to be pur sued without stating the means of its enforcement. To make this clear for the United States, the president add ed, might necessitate further corre spondence with Great Britain and France. The president made ciear his belief that white the conditions of war might have changed, no nation had a right to change the rules of war. From this it was inferred that the American gov ernment wouid insist on a position fre quently expressed by its officials, that whatever might be violations of the customs of war as between beltiger ents, this could not aff ot the status of international law as between the United States and countries with which she is at peace. 182 MiNERS ENTOMBED.

Washington.—After two years of atmost continuous session the Sixty third Congress, which revised the tariff and the currency system of the Nation, suppiemented the trust taws, created an Income tax and demonstrat ed the first, popular election of United States Senators, has adjourned. When gavels fell in the House and Senate signalizing the adjournment they marked the<close of half of Pres ident Wilson's Administration, the first under domination of the Demo cratic party since 1885.

At the request of Republican Lead er Mann, Speaker Ciark turned the chair oyer to Progressive Leader Mur dock. The republican leader then eulogized the "able and ioved speak er," and the house passed with a cheer a resolution thanking Speaker Ciark on behaif of the entire membership for his services during the congress. The speaker then resumed his piace and began a speech of thanks. "The multiplicity of honors and kindnesses that this house has heap ed on me goes straight to my heart," he said, but got no further for his voice broke and his eyes Ailed with tears. President Makes Statement. After his return to the White House President Wilson dictated the foliow ing statement: "A great congress has dosed its ses sions. its work wiii prove the purpose and quality of its statemanship more and more, the longer it is tested. "Business has now t time of cairn and thoughtful adjustment before it, disturbed oniy by the European war. The circumstances created by the war put the nation to a special test, a t&6t of it strue character and of its seif-controi. "The constant thought of every pa triotic man should now be for the country, its peace, its order, its just and tempered judgment in the face of perplexing difAcuities. its dignity and its strength alike will appear not only in the revival of its business, despite abnormal conditions, but also in its power to think, to purpose, and to act with patience, with disinterested fair ness, and without excitement, in a spir it of friendliness and enlightenment which will firmly establish its in Auence throughout the world. For many minutes before adjourn ment there was a lull in the senate. Senator Simmons paid a tribute to Senator Perkins of California whose term ended at noon. Senator Perkins sat for a moment in contemplation of the tribute. Then he alowly half rose from his seat, feebly waved his hand toward the North Carolina senator and his colleagues in a gesture of farewell, and took his seat again too overcome with emotion to speak. i Senator GalHnge? offered a resolu tion of thanks to Vice-President Mar shall for his service* as presiding of ' W!LL!AMJ. HARRIS William J. Harris of Atlanta, the present director of the census, hae been eetected by the preeldent ae a member of the Interetate trade com mleelon, according to generally ac cepted report. ENGLAND'S B!G BLOCKADE ASQUITH SAYS GERMANY WILL GET NO MORE SUPPLIES PROM NEUTRALS. Aake Patience of Non-Belligerents, Saying That Allies Find it Ne cessary to Adopt This Policy. London.—If the combined fleets of Great Britain and France can prever t it, no commodities of any kind except those now on the seas henceforth until the conclusion of the war shaii reach or ieave the shores of Germany. This is Engiand's answer to Ger many's submarine biockade and it is to be effective forthwith. Premier Asquith reading from a prepared statement, made this an nouncement in the House of Commons at a session. Studiously avoiding the terms "biockade" and "contraband"— for these words occur nowhere in the prepared statement—the Premier ex plained that the Allies considered themselves justified in attempting and would attempt "to detain and take into port ships carrying goods of pre sumed enemy destination, ownership or origin." The Premier emphasized, however, that vessels and cargoes so seized were not necessaryily liable to confis cation, and begged the patience of neutral countries in the face of a step likely to injure them. He added that in making such a step the Allies had done so in self-denfense. "We are quite prepared," he went on, "to submit to the arbitrament of neutral opinion and still more to the verdict of impartial history, that in the circumstances in which we have been piaced we have been moderate; we have been restrained; we have ab stained from things that we were provoked and tempted to do, and we have adopted a policy which com mends itself to reason to common sense and to justice." Every member of the House not at the front, in khaki or unavoidably de tained was in his seat and there was freqpent cheering. The galleries were packed. When the Premier conclud ed his set statement and turning to the Speaker said: That air, ia our reply!" There was a tremendous outburst. Before the Premier had finished the newspapers were on the streets pro claiming: "Our answer to Germany." It was apparent everywhere that the entire Nation had been chafing for reprisals against the sinking of merchant craft by submarines. The Premier prefaced the reading of his statement with these words: "The statement declares in suf ficiently plain and unmistakable terms the view we take, not only of our rights, but of our duties." Oattie Quarantine enforced. Richmond, Ya.—Federal, state and county authorities haVe combined in an effort to prevent the spread of foot and mouth disease discovered in a dairy herd of cows near this city.

ENFORCE SH!P PENALHES Suspected Ship Woutd Not Be Granted Ciearance Papers.—Department Want More Authority. Washington.—A resointion dratted by the Department of Justice for the State Department was passed in the House, designed to prevent vessels from leaving American ports with coal hnd supplies for belligerent warships at sea. The resolution would authorize the President to direct customs collectors to withhold clearance from any vessel of American registry or license which he has reason to believe has any in tention to carry such supplies. The resolution was pressed by Democratic Leader Underwood and Republican Leader Mann. It was put through after Mr. Underwood had pre sented a letter from Robert Lansing, Counsellor of the State Department, saying that the Government had been hindered by lack of sufHeient legisla tion to prevent vessels from leaving American ports with coal and supplies for warships. "The Department of State heartily supports the proposed resolutions," the letter continued, "and desire to emphasize the great urgency and need of its immediate passage that the Government may not be bound internationally and yet have its hands tied so as to be unable to act in the discharge of its international duties." The resolution, to take effect im mediately and to continue while the war lasts, is designed to "prevent vio lation of the United States neutrality by the use of its territory, its ports or its territorial waters as a base of op erations for the armed forces of a belligerent, contrary to the obligations imposed by the law of Nations." By unanimous vote the Senate latg at night adopted with amendments a substitute for the joint resolution passed earlier in the House enlarging the power of the President to prevent infringement of American neutarlity by vessels leaving ports of the United States with men or supplies for bellig erent warships. CZARS TROOPS ADVANCiNG Furious Attacks Faii to Break Lines of Russians.

Since in massed formation they threw themselves against Russian troops holding strong positions, the Austro-Germans have attacked again and again in spite of heavy losses. According to the Russian official account, the Austrians delivered fu rious, but unsuccessful attacks be tween the San and Ordawa Rivers, while the Germans made fruitless at tempts around Koziouwka and Ro janka. At Rojanka they lost two com panies, which were surrounded and annihilated. President May Abandon Panama Trip.
