Washington, D. C., Aug. ]0.—1The United
States battleships New Hampshire and Lou
isiana- both ol which are now at Newport,
hare been ordered by the Navy Department
to prepare immediately for sailing to Vera
Cruz, as Commander
McNamee, who is now
here, fears an uprising
among the Mexicans
against Americans.
It is stated that, in the event of
a refusal of the Mexican factional
chiefs to get together and form a
stable government in Mexico in
response to tho request that will
bt- made to them within a short
tinJe by the United States and
tile South American governments,
tile United States navy Is likely1
; gain to occupy Vera Cruz.
There will be a difference be
K«1en the next and last occupation,
fiowevf. If one should be decided
ui>on, if present plans are followed.
In case it becomes necessary again
to tafte possession o£ the famous
Mexican seaport the American fleet
will not be alone la the occupa
tion, but there will be naval ves
sels of Brazil and Argentina, and,
perhaps, other South American
countries to participate in the!
demonstration. It is proposed that j
tne Mexican intervention, if one j
sna'l bo decided upon, will be j
through concerted action on the
part o£ practically all of the other
American nations. Naturally the
bulk of the work and e06t will !
fall cn the United States, but the
responsibility will be joint.
It is not believod that an inva- .
sion of Mexico 'will be necessary j
even Iii case of a refusal on the J
part of the various leaders to co- ,
operate in the formation of respon
sible government. It is thought
that the occupation of Vera Cruz will
be sufficient to show that the con
cert of American nations have de
termined to put an end to disorder
in Mtxico. and that accomplished
that the people of Mexico will do
the rest. It is possible, however,
that Ibe next time a port may al-1
so be occupied on the west coast
of 'Mexico—probably either Mazat- j
lan or Gu&ymaa.
Ottawa, August 10—From an
official statement issued here to
day the iofonnation is made pub
lic that already 80,000 Canadians
have been sent from the Dominion
to 'take part on the side of the
rlli'S in the European war. There
•.ire still thousands of young men
in Canada who are only awaiting
cue call for additional men to of
f-'r th>?ir services, and it is thought
t'.i«re would not be the slightest
difficulty in doubling the number al
ready sent In the event of its be
coming neoossary.

Russia having rejected what in ,
England is regarded as a bona
fide proposal made by the Ger- j
mau emperor, for peace, with part
of Poland traded for 'Galicia, the j
great struggle in the East must
now continue.
The Gallipoli battlefield will
no,v be closely-watched because of
its bearing on the" Balkan situa
tion. The strongest pressure*" has
been again brought to bear on Bul

garia and Greece, by the quadruple
entente, as never before was the im
portance of oprations in the Dar
d.inr-lies been more keenly realized
in Great Britain and France, than

There are many indications that
Germany plans to deliver her next
hard blow against Serbia, in order
to link up with Turkey and thus
checkmate plans of the 'entento of
