U V VE.i.' lO STANDS FIVE CENTS GERMAN LB TO Hi AMERICANS THROUGH ill ZONE Suggestion Made To Insure Safety of Americans From Submarines WOULD PLACE LINERS UNDER AMERICAN FLAG Wilson In No Haste To An swer Last Note-Will Hold To First Demands (By Carl W. Aciermw.) (United Tress Staff Correspondent.) P.erliu, via The Hague, duly 12. Suggestions that three big German lin ers now interned in Amerii-un waters might be placed nt the disptwnl of the Cnited States for the transportation of Americans through the war zone was made to me today by I'nder Foreign Secretary Zimmerman. The vessels which tiie under secre tary suggested might be used by the I'uitcd States during the remainder of the war are the Hamburg-American lin ers luipcrntnr and Kaiserin August Vic toria ami the North German-Lloyd liner George Washington. "(If course ym understood tliis mat ter rests with the ship owners, " suid 'iiuiuerinnn, "but Germany is willing to place at the service of Americans her largest liners if the I'nited States enres to suggest it. If it should be desired to place them under the American flag, we will certainly agiee." This is in line with the suggestion contained in Germany's formal reply to the last American note, decluriug That, it' .. necesenry, Germany would agree to the placing of four belligerent ships under the American flag that Ameri cans might be guaranteed safe passage through tiie war .one. It was pointed out that the Imperator, Kaiserin Au gust Victoria and George Washington could bo manned by a neutral captain and erew and tiiere would be no finan cial gain to Germany through the use of the vessel!. sjist, Germany will not abandon her sub marine warfare, but it is hoped that some agreement mav be reached satis fying the Cnited States as to the safety r Americans. Holds to Original Stand. Washington, duly 12. The next step to be taken in the negotiations with Germany regarding the submarine war fare now rests with 1'resident Wilson. 'J'he position taken in official circles here today was t'nat any one desiring information on the German sitiintidi should impure at Cornish. The presi dent has the official text of the Ger man note in his hands now and has been giving careful consideration to the liew reply. It wns stated in some iunrters today that Secretary of State Uinsing would get to Cornish within a "day or two,'' nnd that President Wil son would return with him to Washing ton late this week. Others believed, however, that the president would not icturn here until the end of next week. At nil vents it is accepted there is to be no haste in forwarding a rejoinder to the German note. While a tentative Iraft of the American reidv will be drawn following Secretary Lansing's ouference with the presider.t, the for- mill answer will not be forwarded to llerlin until after President Wilson has returned to Washington and outlined Ins views to the cabinet. Count Von lirenst.ffff, the German ambassador, will call upon Secretary aiising, tirobab v this week. He will inlenvor to learn informally whether any assistance niny be given the ad ministration in dealing with new Tpies 'urns btouuht mi bv the German note The date for the ambassador's meet-j ii. ir with Lansing has not yet been fixed however, ' It was generally ngreed t I a y that 'here will be no break n a result of lo' Inte-t communication from llerlin.

GARRANZA TAKES MEXICO CITY AND BE1SII RULE Quick Return To Normal Con ditions Promised Food Stuffs Near City ORDERS LOOTERS SHOT AND ORDER RESTORED If Carranza Brings Order Out Of Chaos He Will Be Recognized Washington, duly 12. Con firmation of the capture of Mexico City by General lion 7jiles' I'Hrrnnxiitn army was re ceived at the ti'te department today in a message from Chu nk I Sillimun Ht era Cruz. Mexico City, July 12 Gonzales today began General 1'ithlo giwiizing a lo- cal government which will make pos (able (puck return to minimi conditions in Mexico City. Forty trains of foodstuffs are wait ing near the city ready to give relief to the starving inhabitants as soon us a temporary bridge can be built. Mani festos were posted today that looters will be shot and promising an orderly administration of the government and amnesty for the political and military enemies of the couMitiitiounlists. The retreat of the Zapntitas began Satirdny. In leaving tliecily they took with them everything that might' be of vulue to General tli.iiaes. When the city was taken, it was found to be without any horses or automobiles, all having been Used by the retreating forces. General Lopes De Lara, newly up- poiniod governor or .Mexico I it y, was declared by Ciirrun.istns here today to be elhcient, vigorous and reliable. They said General De Lara might be ex" led to quickly restore order, pro vide for feeding the starving popula tion and the protection of foreigners. Will Support Stable Rule. Washington, duly 12. The Cnited States is ready to give moral support to any ractntu that promises to estab lish a stable gov eminent in Mexico, Secretary .if State Lansing said this afternoon, following the receipt of of ficial confirmation uf the capture of Mexico City by ( nrran.istas. I lie secretary miinntcii mat recogni tion uf General I arrnuzn might be cum patible with President Wilson recent decliirnt ion as to Mexico. He stated However, that the possibility of recog nition depended upon the ability of Cur i a n .ii to continue successful. The occupation of the Mexican cap ital by CairaniHtas was cimlirmcd in a inersiigc from Consul Hilliman nt Vera Cruz, but ne details were given. Dispatches to the f'arran.ista agency here reported the evacuation of Mexico City by Zapatistas. If (lenernl Car ranza now restores the federal govern ment, the ron-cnsiiH of opinion today was that tin- inluiinistrntioii will im mediately recognize him. Villi stHH here doubted reports of the Carranista oi rnpntion. At all events, they declared the possession of Meicox City was of no ntialfic importance as the city was liuid to defend. A iiieridin military aotiiniitics agreed with this view. There is a growing belief, however, that Gem nil ilia is in a bud wav. Aside from li-orrsnizstion within Ins ranks, he links funds and this will hamper him in . Iituining nnimuiuti. n and supplies.
