Army Officer, In Report'to Washing­ ton, Sees No Chance There tor ' Adequate Relief.1 >\ ^ Washington, July 23.--Official re­ ports given out at the war department, indicating widespread starvation in Mexico; the apparent failure of the Carranza government to sustain itself in Mexico City, and the reoccupation of the national capital by the Zapatis­ tas, gave rise to the view again in of­ ficial circles that President Wilson, before long, will make public a new plan for the pacification of the repub­ lic. Brig. Gen. C. •. Devol, sent by the war department to take charge of the American Red Cross' efforts to relieve the suffering in Mexico, has made a report on conditions there. It is re­ garded as of great significance that it should have been made public at this time by Mr. Garrison, General Devol expresses the opinion that the people of Mexico are being abused by the leaders of "all factions," and that "there appears to be no fu­ ture for adequate relief, even if the American people would contribute for this purpose. This, however, they have only done to a very limited ex­ tent to this date." General Devol says there have been large exports of food supplies out of Mexico to the United States and to Cuba. He estimates that two thou­ sand carloads of beans have been sent out of the country. He states that General Villa and his generals have prohibited the purchase of supplies in Mexico because there is an export tax which is collected for the benefit of the military leaders and this amounts to four hundred to five hundred dol­ lars for each car that crosses the bor­ der. The Red Cross was not permit­ ted to buy supplies in Mexico although corn could be purchased on the Mexi­ can side for fifty-six cents per bushel. The Mexicans insisted that it should be bought in the United States. EXPRESS RATES TO GO UP Interstate Commerce Commission De­ cides in Fsvor of Companies ,Aft­ er Exhaustive Investigation.

Washington, July 26. -- It became known Saturday that President Wilson wishes the American navy to stand upon equality with the most efficient and serviceable fighting sea force maintained by any power.

The fact that this action had been taken became known here after the release for publication of the note to Germany relating to subma­ rine warfare. The president, in association with various heads of departments, has been giving consideration for some time to the preparation of a reasonable and adequate naval program which he will propose to congress at the proper time. He will study this subject on his visit to Cornish. Practical advice concerning national defense from every available profes­ sional source is .being sought. Men of the army and navy who hare been most directly in touch with con­ ditions of defense that have been evolved out of modern experience have been called upon for their views. The fact that he desires an adequate and efficient navy was especially made clear here Saturday.

PRE8IDENT SENDS AID TO CHICJt* . GO TO DIRECT EASTLAND HOR&OR IN VESTLG^TlOtt. WHITEWASH i Federal Officer 8ays Government WH| Place Blame for Accident--Chief Executive at Helm in Govern* ment's Probe. ef/V;'f mm Chicago, July 28.--Secretary Wil­ liam C. Redfield of the department of commerce arrived in Chicago Tue*» day asd will take charge of ihe in­ quiry which his department is making into the Eastland disaster. He to Chicago upon suggestion of Presi­ dent Wilson. President Wilson's keen personal In­ terest in' the inquiry is Indicated in the sending of a cabinet officer to take charge. The president has ordered n sweeping investigation. Albert L. Thurman, solicitor general of the department, is also here. He will assist in the taking of testimony. Eugene T. Chamberlain, commissioner of navigation of the commerce depart­ ment, may also come to Chicago. "There will be no whitewashing in this inquiry," said a federal offlcbL "President Wilson is at the helm in a personal and particular way. The president has demanded facts, aTv* he is getting them." Solicitor Thurman brought with hi» to Chicago the only protest ever filed with the department against the steamer Eastland. It was made in 1906 by George J. Schmitt when the Eastland was running between Chi­ cago and South Haven. Following an interview with Presi­ dent Wilson by telephone, Attorney General Gregory communicated by long distance with District Attorney C. F. Clyne and with Acting Super­ vising Inspector General of Steam­ ships Dickerson N. Hoover. The long­ distance conference is said to have lasted 23 minutes. Immediately after talking with the Washington authorities, Mr. Clyne called a conference in his office in the federal building, both Ira B. Mansfield, , and William Nicholas, local inspectors, being summoned. Por more than an hour Inspector' Mansfield was excluded from the con­ ference after both Inspectors had been questioned. The July grand jury, under Foreman George A. Hughes, visited the wreck of the Eastland and made a thorough inspection of the hull. The jury seemed particularly impressed with the fact that bow and stern lines, which had moored the craft to its wharf, were still attached. "There is ' nothing that the grand jnry can say at this stage," said Hr. Hughes. We are just looking around and getting our bearings." "I can't say anything," echoed State's Attorney Hoyne, a moment later. "We are going after this right,. Give us time." The orders which resulted In tfiv mendous activity on the part of steamboat inspection department and the department of justice, came straight from the president him­ self. A private bulletin service is declared to have been ordered by the president* covering all the essential facta with relation to the disaster, and this .In said to have been in operation for nearly forty-eight hours. "The president knows all that any­ body can know, aside from those who will be summoned as witnesses," said a government official. "This is a mat* ter that will not be allowed to rest. We are going to cover the whole situ ­ ation thoroughly." . Captain Mansfield, who is said to. have been asked to leave the room while his associate, Nicholas, was un­ der questioning, stated a belief that the result of thorough inquiry would be exculpation of all local inspection officials. . Following a conversation lasting hour with Acting Secretary of Cou>- v merce and Labor Edwin F. Sweet, So» pervising Architect Hoover made the announcement that he will hold an in* dependent investigation covering the entire matter of the Eastland and wfi -| summon from 50 to 100 witnesses.
