S. Given Free Rein; Must Assume Obligations Washington, D. C Frequent ex changes ami conferences between the ambassadors and ministers in Wash ington are tending to unite them on line of conduct regarding Mexico which, while conforming to the plans of the United States, - involvea an un derstanding as to obligations the American government will be expect ed to assume as a result of her atti tude of non-interference. So far this common understanding has not taken the form of direct pres sure, but the State department is kept informed of the expectations of the European powers. General informa tion relates to the protection of the vast financial interests which citizens and subjects of the powers have in Mexico, no disposition being exhibited of an intention to bring in the politi cal side of the question. In fact, more than one of the diplomatic rep resentatives here has informed the de partment that his own government was interested in preventing loss of large material interests to its citizens. and beyond that did not care what the United States did in Mexico, so long as it was informed of what was to be done, so that it might take proper pro- cautions for the protection of the lives of its citizens. The Red Cross authorized the State department, through Vice Consul Sim- pich at Nogales, bonora, to draw an additional $5000 for use in relieving destitute in the interior of Sonora.

Government troops occupied Thomaseau on January 2, and after the capture and execution of several revolutionists quiet was restored.

Major General Wood, chief of staff of the army, has advised committees of congress that it should appropriate $3,000,000 fur field guns and ammunition for the regular army and $3,000,000 for the militia. "If you sent our troops into war as they are now, without guns or ammu nition, it would be absolute slaugh ter," the general told the house mill tary committee. "If called into the field suddenly we should have to go with a small allowance of ammunition even for the guns in the hands of the troops, and we should have neither guns nor ammunition enough for ou field artillery forces." General Wood, in a written state ment, said : "We hive neither guns nor ammuni tion sufficient to give any general commanding any assurance of success if attacked by an army of equal size which is supplied with its proper quota of field artillery. It is my belief that no modern war between first-class powers will last for more than one year, and thus if pri vate manufacturers are not encour aged to manufacture ammunition for our guns until after war is declared, they will not be in a condition to do so until after the war is finished, and the supply of ammunition during the war will be limited to what the arsenal can turn out. If guns are not supplied on the battlefield with the ammunition which they can be reasonably expected to use, they are not efficient, and when guns have exhausted the ammu nition supplied they are worse than junk, for they must be protected by other troops. "The War department believes that in case or war with a tirst-class power an army of 500,000 men will be need ed to give this country any chance of success against invasion, and that this force will be needed at once. To make it efficient it must be given its proper quota of field artillery. To do this, this ammunition must be on hand, for it cannot be supplied after war is started." AMERICA SENDS CHARITY ALL OVER THE WORLD Washington, D. C. Aid was ex tended Friday to the distressed dis tricts of Japan, Mexico, Bulgaria and the United States by the American Red Cross society.

It was the Alexander Lavalley, a crane boat, and carried no passengers. Thirteen Are Rescued; 23 Die in Shipwreck New York Thirteen survivors are accounted for out of the 38 men aboard the tank steamer Oklahoma .k.n.h. broke in two last Sunday night in a storm off Barm-gat. Another story of heroic rescue was written beside the tale told by the wireless that brought the first news of the disaster. Until the Booth liner Gregory, fresh from a voysge 2000 m!lua nn th Amazon, steamed into wr port, the eight men taken off the Okln homa by the steamship Bavaria were believed to be the only ones saved. But the Gregory had five more of the shipwrecked crew that her officers had dragged out of the sea. The Oklahoma's death list now stands at 25, and although her owners swent the sea with wireless messages, imploring all vessels to look out for one of the steamer's boats that miKht still be adrift, there was little hope that more of the crew would be saved, What little hope remained was based on the fact that the men brought to port by the Gregory said another life boat besides theirs had been launched from the sinking steamer. There was little doubt, however, that this was the boat sighted by the revenue cutter Seneca, with three frozen bodies under the thwarts. The other boat, which carried the five survivors within reach of the Gregory, contained only one body when it was cast adrift after the rescue. Of the Oklahoma's crew of 38, 11 manned the boat that reached the Gregory, 19 took to the other boat and eight stayed aboard to be saved by the Bavaria. Of the larger boatload probably all are lost Of the 11 in the smaller boat, six were drowned when the boat capsized 100 yards away from the side of the Booth liner. Virginia Would Kecover Martha Washington's Will Fairfax, Va. State Senator Thorn ton announced Wednesday that, acting at the request of officers of the Daughters of the American Revolu tion, he would ask the Virginia legis lature to authorize the attorney gen eral of the state to recover the will of Martha Washington, now in the pri vate collection of J. P. Morgan at New York. The will was stolen from the Fair- lax county court house in the courBe of the battle of Bull Run in the Civil war. Mrs. John H. Barbour, of Falls Church, Va., a regent of the organiza tion, has placed in Senator Thornton's hands a copy of a letter she received from Belle Da Costa Green, librarian for J. I'ierpont Morgan, declining to return the will to the archives of the courthouse. Citizens of Virginia who have been searching for the will for nearly 50 years accidentally learned last year that it was in Air. Morgan s collec tion.
