three Zapatistas when they were in

Associated Press Disoalih
Washington. Mar. 12.—Both
tienerals Carranza and Obregon
have been informed that the prestige
of the cause for which they are
fighting wjtl be seriously affected
in view of the United States govern-
ment should they fail to take prompt
measures to prevent famine In Mex-
ico City and to permit the free exo-
dus of foreigners to Vera Cruz
—This was the principal argument,
\it was learned today, in the note
sent by the United States govern-
men in reply to Carranza’s commun-
ication denying that Obregon had
Interfered with the shipment of food
supplies to Mexico City or had
made the utterances which the
American government believed might
cause anti-foreign riots.
Without arguing further the au-
thenticity of the reports rescuing
the Washington government from
various diplomatic missions in Mex-
* ico City stating that Obregon had
caused ail foreigners to be appre-
hensive of their safety, the new
American note lays emphasis on the
necessity for keeping the line of
communication open between Mexico
City and Vera Cruz and points out
tne need for allowing trains to be
used for the transportation of
freight.
Officials seemed confident that
the excahnge of notes would pro-
duce u better understanding of what
I tne United Slates deemed necessary
*teps for the protection of foreign-
•*} trs in Mexico. The tension over the
situation has been relieved greatly
by the friendly character of the
Carranza reply.

AMERICA SENDS AID
TO SERVIAN WOMEN

TATING COCNTKY.
New York, Mar. 12.—A huge con-
signment of American seed corn
and American hoes were shipped to-
day to Servia. There were also
plows and spade* In goodly quanti-
ty. The shipment is the gift of
Americans to the Servian women,
who noed only the seeds and the
farm implements to make their coun-
try self-supporting" again.
A tale of misery, devastation and
all the other sufferings of war was
brought to America "by Madame
Slavko Groutlteh, wife of the Under
Secretary of Foreign Affairs. She
has gone from city to city, telling
the plight of Servia and the pitiable
condition of the women and chil-
dren left homeless and unprotected.
These women and children number-
some 800,000, have, according to
Madame Groullch, been crowded
into a single province, their homes
destroyed and their farms plundered
even of the precious seeds for the
spring planting.
That Servia, though a poor coun-
try, will come back into prosperity
through its women, who are ready to
begin the planting this spring, is
the belief of Mme. Grouitch.
‘‘Imagine the farming districts of
the Middle States charred and tram-
pled with everything killed,” she
said, "and you have a picture of Ser-
via. Thousands of women and chil-
dren have starved to death. The
^ustrian army has done every kind
of violence. On their first invasion
they murdered every man, woman
and child that fell into their hands.
When the second invasion came the
whole population of the region went
lo Macedonia. Then when the Aus-
trians were finally pushed back be-
yond the river, it was found that
everything had been destroyed. A
million and a half women and chil-
daen are huddled in Macedonia, and
many of them are actually starving.
But they are hoping that Spring will
give them a chance to tilt' the fields
once more.”
Madame Grouitch is accompanied
on her errand of mercy by Mile.
Helen Losanitch, sister of the Ser-
vian Minister of Agriculture, and
daughter of the president of the
Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade.
Madame Grouitch is herself an
American, formerly Miss Mabel
Dunlap of Harrison County, West
Virginia. When she married the
Servian diplomat she was the first
American to enter a prominent Ser-
vian house.
The Servian women are bitter
against the Austrians. ”The Turks
tire considered the symbols of sav-
agery,” says Mme. Grouitch, “but
in 500 years under their rule Servia
has never_heen razed and plundered
as ntterly as by Austria. When the
Austrian* approached Belgrade at
the beginning of the war. neutrals
were urged to remain in the city and
depend on clemency of a Christian
enemy. Within six hours the Chris-
tian enemy was shelling the city,
which was without defenses, and was
killing women and children. *
Today’s shipment goes by way of
Salonika, and should reach Servia
in three or four weeks. It is a
precious cargo, according to Mme.
Grouitch, for on It an entire nation
depends for its reconstruction.
