The heral, who is at the Astor, spoke interviewers in Spanish, with Bal- ero A. Almada, general purchas agent of the Mexican government the United States, acting as in- preter. “Some of the newspapers in Mexi- City have been trying to win over blic sympathy to the German se,” he said, “but they have been jable to bring about any pro-Ger- n sentiment among the people. IXico as Mexico is neutral; our chief icern at present is bullding up the and repairing the ravages of years of ctvil war, which have come to an end. “With the exception of two small | tricts the country is entirely paci- l and under the control of the ad- inistration. ons around Tampico and & small | trict in the mountains of Duran- ‘where Villa and his bandits are jmmed in by the army of General Jearn that in the United States is still séme uncertainty as to ther Villa is alive.

Of course, there is much atill to be done; in some parts of the country trains run only twice a week, and there are not enough cars in many districts to meet the requirements of passenger traffic. But here, too, conditions are constantly improving. The general said that nothing of any German he knew submarine bases, wireless plants ar other activi- 4 ties in Mexico, characterizing the re- ports of such plants as all lies. He said that up to May 1 he did not know of any Germans who had crossed the border from the United States into Mexico, and said that if any had crossed since they were very few. During his travels across the con- tinent he Visited the aviation training camps at Berkeley, St. Louis and Fort Sheridan, at which latter place the commander, Colonel Ryan, was an old personal friend, and expressed himself in high admiration of the quality of officers and students whori he met there. On Saturday he will visit West Point, and on next Thurs- day he goes to Washington. When asked if he expected to see President Wilson, he answered: “I da not know if I shall have so great an honor.” The general said that he was done with public life, and expected to go back to his farm in Sonora. COLD STORAGE EGGS ‘Wiil Be Suggested by the Exchanges to the Government That They Be Used As Army Rations. New York, Oct. 19.—The use of cold storage eggs as army rations will be suggested to the government, it was learned today, by representa- tives of the butter and egg exchanges of Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and New York and the Mercantile Ex- change of New York. A committee consisting of one member of each of these markets plans to go to Washing- ton with the further suggestion that the federal food officials fix a price which would be on the usual basis of cost plus 10 per cent. Chicago packers are said to own millions of cold storage eggs for which there is no demand because the supply today greatly exceeds the sup- ply which existed at the time the egss were put aside. The holdings are said to be 13.2 per cent greater than a year ago in 440 storage warehouses country. Their market value today is considerably less than when they were put in storage and wholesalers are sald to be facing millions of dollars in losses unless a cost-plus price is fixed arbitrarily by the government. It was pointed out today that action making these eggs an army ration would take care of the over-supply. RAILROAD SELLING POTATOES.

Gupta told me that | von Papen said he would buy addi- tional firearms and ammunitions in the United States and ship them to the Orient by way of the South Seas. “Gupta told me the headquarters of the conspiracy was in Berlin.” For Saturday, Oct. 20th, we are going to place on sale 25 Waltham Watches, 7-jeweled movement, complete in guaranteed 20-year Gold Filled Case.

Beats Mitchel in New York. New York, Oct. 18.—The biggest bet thus far reported on the mayor- alty contest was made in Wall Street vesterday, when William Darnell who had ‘““made a cleanup” White Sox victory, wagered $62,500 against $25,000-—2% to 1—that Hylan will defeat Mitchel. Darnell declined to say for whom he he often represents Arthur Lipper & Co. Street rumor had it that James Field, big stock trader, had taken the Mitchel end of the bet, that Field said he “did not know anything about it personally.” He would not deny, however, that the wager had been made. Apart from this, most of yesterday's betting in the financial district was at odds of 2 to 1 in favor of Hylan against the fleld. Percy Guard, on the curb, placed $5,000 at those odds and had an additional $5,000 to wager the same way. He had $1,000 to bet on the mayor against $2,500. . Hillquit played a much more prom- inent part in the Wall Street betting than any other socialist who has run for office. One curb broker offered to lay $5,000 against $25,000 that the soclalist beats Mitchel, while another made a small wager at odds of 1 to 7 that Hillquit will get more votes than Hylan. J. J. Cronin, & Tammany man from the sixteenth assembly district, of- fered $3,000 evep that Hillquit will not receive 125,080 votes in the en- tire city. A bet of $1,000 even was made that Bennett beats Mitchel in Kings county, a customer of HOGS COMING DOWN. Pittsburgh, Oct. 19.—Prices in the livestock market broke sharply today.
