FATE OF, MEXICO
IS IN DOUBT
Council of War Has Not De
cided Whether to
Fight
OR TO EVACUATE
; THE CITY
Generals of the Federal
Army in Conference Un
til Late Hour,
Mexico City, Aug. 6. The fate of the
capital remained in doubt yesterday.
The 112 generals of the federal army,
constituting the council of war, had not
decided whether to fight or evacuate the
city. ;
The generals were 'in conference until
a late hour last night, and failing to de
termine their policy separated to meet
again late yesterday afternoon.'
, President Carbajal will issue a call
for ft mass meeting of business men to
learn their feelings regarding the mat
ter. He will inform them that General
Carranza demands the unconditional sur
render of the city, and that non-compliance
with the demand will mean that
the capital will be taken by assault.
Railway telegraph operators report
fighting between the advance guards of
the federals and constitutionalists at
Teoloyucan, twenty miles north of this
city. The positions of the two forces
were unchanged early yesterday.
One of the generals who was present
at the session of the war council later
made this statement: - .
"President Carbajal Tuesday learned
that the federal peace proposals had been
rejectedd by General Carranza, and that
Mexico City would be taken by assault
if necessary. The president also received
information that American forces might
aid the constitutionalists.
"It was the unanimous sentiment of
the generals present last night that in
case of joint action by constitutionalists
and Americans, the federals should evac
uate Mexico City and retreating south
ward, establish the present government
in a city yet to be selected, thus pre
serving the honor of the army. In case
the capital was assaulted by constitu
tionalists alone the federals are resolved
to resist and employ the force of 40,000
men now available.

MRS. WILSON
IS VERY ILL
President at Her Bedside Almost Con
stantlyProtracted Illness Causes
Worry in Official Circles.
Washington, Aug. 6. President Wil
son has been at the bedside of Mrs. Wil
son Almost constantly for several days,
and her protracted illness of several
months is causing worry in official cir
cles. .
It was while sitting beside his wife,
his constant helpmate and adviser, that
the president wrote his message to the
European crowned heads, appealing to
them to stay their conflict and discuss
peace.
Only those in closest touch with the
president have known of the severe
strain under which he has been during
the last fortnight. Not only the press
of domestic legislation and appoint
ments, but the burden of direction for
the relief of Americans abroad and the
precautions for preservation of stable
financial conditions at home have fallen
upon him.
No announcements have been made
about Mrs. Wilson's illness and persons
at the White House were disposed to be
lieve that she had slightly improved yes
terday, but her condition is nevertheless
causing considerable concern. She first
took sick lust March, and it is undej -stood
has been suffering from a com
plication of nervous ailments.

London, Aug. 6. A financial sensa
tion was caused yesterday by the Pall
Mall Gazette's charge . that just prior
to the beginning of the "war the Ger
man government supported a movement
to depress British securities to such an
extent tint Great Britain would be un
able to participate in the war. The
story sets forth that $10,000,000 were
expended in the effort. The British
declaration of war caused slight de
pression at the opening of the Chicago
wheat market, but a rally followed
bringing prices nearly back to the earlier
figures. New York yesterday received
from London $25,000,000 of American
securities which were sold before the
stock exchange suspended operations,
Another shipment of about the same
value is on the way. The general flnan

to be in condition to meet any crisis or

settled down to waiting; the stock ex

the London market is closed. The clear
ing-house is proceeding as usual, and
$78,000,000 more emergency currency has
been received from Washington. Presi

which would make available for addi

. It was not uutil 12:40 a. m. yester
day that the cabinet adjourned its war
council, following tha announcement of
the declaration against Germany. In
the meantime the wildest demonstra
tions were in progress in the streets.
Great crowds carrying Intertwined union
jacks and tri-colors, paraded about
Buckingham paluco, the. admiralty and
war ollice, singing "God Save the King,"
"Rule Brittannia" and" the "Marsellaise."

London, Aug. 6. All England yester

in the conflict with Germany. There is

It was officially announced yesterday

Import Duties Fall and Funds Must Be
Found to Carry on Govern
ment. Washington, Aug. 6. After a confer
ence with Secretary of the Treasury Mo-
Adoo yesterday, Senator Simmons, chair
man of the Senate finance committee,
announced that some measures must be
adopted to provide revenues for the gov
ernment, since the income from foreicn
duties had been so sharply reduced by
the falling off of imports on account of
the war.
"It goes without saying," said Mr.
Simmons, "that the form of taxation
which we must agree upon in order to
raise the money necessary to run the
government will have to take the form
of internal revenue. A chancre in the
tariff duties would not materially affect
the revenue, because there are little im
ports. The loss annually will be $l"0,
000,000. t
"The method of taxation to be in
voked will be decided upon at further
conferences."

When You Want a Thing Done
Right, Do It Yourself
The man who wants his tobacco cut up for him
months before he smokes it, just to save a minute's time,
cannot blame the manufacturer because the tobacco gets
dried up, burns fast in his pipe and scorches his tongue.
. There' only one way to get fresh tobacco cut it up your
self a you use it, from the Sickle plug. Then you get all the
original flavor and moisture that have been pressed into the plug
and kept there by the natural leaf wrapper and you are rewarded
by a cool, sweet, satisfying smoke.
Every day more smokers are coming back to the good eld
Sickle plug and satisfaction. Euy a plug of Sickle at your dealer's
and note how much more tobacco you get, when there's no
