Bryan Warns Both leaders
Xot to Shoot Over Border. '
WASHINGTON, March 29. Tha situa
tion at Mexico City assumed another
of its rapid changes today, when Sir
Cecil Spring-Rice, the British Am
bassador, called to Secretary Bryan's
attention a report ho had received
from the Mexican capital that tbe
Zapatista forces under General Garsa
were about to abandon the city again.
and that General Obreson, the Car-
ranza chieftain in the- vicinity, was
moving forward to reoccupy it. The
Ambassador is understood to have
asked what precautions for the pro
tectlon of foreigners was contemplated
by the American Government in this
event.
Secretary Bryan said later that no
reports of the intended evacuation had
reached the department. He charac
terized such information as had been
received as "suggestions as to what
might happen," referring, apparently.
to the statement of the British Am
bassador. Earlier the Secretary said
assurances had been received from
General Garza that the food situation
In Mexico City would be taken care
of satisfactorily by the present garri
son.
Oil Keeded for Brltlah Navy.
British officials also are understood
to be concerned over reports that the
Carransa garrison at Tampico might
withdraw, burninir the town and pos
slbly the oil wells of the district in its
retreat toward vera Cruz. The lam
pico oil suprly is understood to be of
vital importance to Britisn naval opera
tions, and British as well as American
capital is invested in the wells. The
State Department had no information
as to these reports.
At the suggestion of Major-General
Funston, commanding the American
forces on the border, Acting Secretary
Breckenridge, of the War Department,
today ordered three batteries of the
Third Field Artillery to Brownsville,
Tex., as a demonstration to the Mexi
can forces contending for possession of
Matamoros, that American lives and
property must not be endangered by
firing across the line.
Regulars Held Ready.
A regiment of infantry also was
ordered held in readiness at Texas City
to be moved to Brownsville on short
notice should' it be needed.
These precautions were deemed
necessary, although assurances had
been given by both Carranza and villa
agencies here that no shooting across
the line would be permitted. Secretary
Bryan said orders had been sent by the
commanders of each faction to their
troops in and about Matamoros to see
that no shots entered American terri
tory.
The attacking force is finding Mata
moros a difficult nut to crack, accord
ing to State Department advices today.
which said 200 met death in the first
assault on the Carranza trenches Satur
day, while the defenders lost only eight
killed and 36 wounded. It was reported
that both sides were receiving rein
forcements, including artillery. , Many
wounded Villa soldiers have Deen
brought into Brownsville, but only
those in most urgent need of attention
will be permitted to cross the line here
after. AID RCS-HIXG TO CARRANZA

Union, Non-Political, Predicted.
"I want to congratulate you upon the
completion of this ship and upon all
that she stands for in the way of re
ciprocity between ourselves and the
great country you represent, and. I want
to express my feeling as President of
the United States that we are rapidly
approaching a day when the Americans
will draw together as they have never
drawn together before, and that it will
be a union, not of political ties, but of
understanding and of mutual helpful
ness. "I want to drink to the health and
success of" your President, your Gov
ernment, and If I may, I wish to in
clude your Ambassador, for whom we
have the greatest respect."
In toasting the- President, Ambassa
dor Naon said: .
'It is perhaps the first time that a
President of the United States of
America, has set foot on a piece of
foreign soil, which, like this ' battle
ship, springs from the industrial capac
ity and ability of this great country.
Hence I could, nut find any more suit
able and gratifying occasion than the
present one to drink to your personal
happiness, and voicing what is a feel
ing of my people and. a purpose of my
Government to say that may the ties
which have always bound our two
countries together daily grow stronger
and stronger until they constitute the
expression of the most perfect Inter
national friendship."
Salutes Are Exchanged. ,
After the luncheon the President and
Secretary Daniels were shown over the
Moreno by Admiral Martin, president
of tho Argentine naval commission;
Ambassador Naon and Captain Galin
dez. of the battleship. Later the Am,
bassador was invited to accompany the
President on the Mayflower Into the
Naval Academy grounds. As Dr. Naon
boarded the Mayflower a salute of 19
guns was fired. ,
As tho Mayflower, carrying the Pres
ident and his party, neared the Naval
Academy the Reina Mercedes, the Ar
gentine training ship, began firing a
Presidential salute of 21 guns, which
was. promptly answered by the May
flower. Rear-Admiral Fullam, superin

official call on the President, accom
panied by his aides.

"Hypocrites" is a film allegory.
Perhaps the greatest ever screened.
With its sermon, it is most amazingly frank and out
spoken. Everyone in Portland will want to see it.
The cost of "Hypocrites" is so tremendous that the

We feel patrons would rather pay 25 cents than miss

traffic ordinance by failure to turn
his automobile out of the tracks in

tried to run him down when he was

His daughter and Miss Mamie Blake

WASHINGTON. March 29. While
every precaution is being taken to
guard against possible violation of
American neutrality in the event of
a dash for sea through the Virginia
capes by the German commerce raider,
Prins Kitel Frledrlch. naval officers
here are almost a unit in the belef
that the Eltel will cruise no more
until the war is over.

merely awaiting the expiration of the

British Give Amaranees.
Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British Am
bassador, called at the Navy Depart
ment today and had a talk with Rear
Admiral Fiske, aide for operations. It
is understood he gave assurances that
the warships of tbe allies waiting for
the Eltel would not come within the
three-mile limit or do anything else
In violation of neutrality.
It was learned today that the British
government had made representations
to the State Department In regard to
the Eitel. taking the ground that In
allowing the ship to dock, clean and
be painted, the port authorities at
Newport News had not observed The
Hague treaty stipulations against in
creasing the naval strength of the
ship under such circumstances. De
partment officials, however, do not ac
cept this view.
Limit Drawing Near.
No intimation as to when the time
given the raider to stay in port would
end was forthcoming from the officials
today, but it was known that the
limit is drawing near.
The battleship Alabama, which left
Philadelphia this afternoon, is due in
Hampton Roads early tomorrow to re
inforce the two destroyers and the
submarine on duty there. It was said
at the Navy Department that in the
event of a change in the weather and
the occurence of a storm such as might
be exDected at any moment in tne
Spring equinoctial season, the sub
marine and destroyers would not main
