FROM FRIDAY S DAILY
Washington, Aug. 13—It was offic
ially announced by Secretary Lan
sing today in a communication with
President Wilson, that tho Mexican
situation in the vicinit of Browns
ville, Texas was local in character
and no indication of an immediate
outbreak extending over any great
portion of Texas. The indications are
that since the killing and capturlug
of a number of roving bauds of Mex
icans carrying banners bearing the
inscription, ‘‘Liberation for Mexicans
in Texas,” they have quieted down
and the local Brownsville situation, at
least at the present, is being handled
nicely. Secretary Lansing in the samo
communication with the President re
ported officially that since the ar
rival of the American battle ships at
Vera Cruz with marines, quiet pre
vails at that place, and no further
precaution is thought necessnr ex
cept the sending of another battillion
of soldiers to the Mexican horded.

to life and property will occur at the
first outbreak as the Texas Bangers
and Federal soldiers now in that

MANY NEWSPAPERS
PUT OUT OF BUSINESS
Constantinople,—No business has
"been hit much harder in Constanti
nople than the newspaper business,
and every monthly, weekly and daily
paper owned by foreign interests, with
one exception, has gone under. Five
still are published in some language
other than Tufkish, but four of the
the five are Turkish-owned.
The single exception to the disas
trous rule is the German “Osmanis
cher Lloyd,“ which flourishes de
spite the fact German as a language
is much less known in Turkey than
French. The new alliance brought
about bv the war is of course increas
ing the number of students of Ger
man and consequently the circulation
of the “Llyod. ”
The first paper to succumb was the
“Levant Herald,” published in Eng
lisli by a citizen of Malta. It was the
last English paper to “hang on.”
The “ Monteur Oriental, ” Turkish
owned but French in language, form
!y had an English section, but this
has long been given up.
With Turkey’s entrance into the
war the French “Stainbul” went by
the boards ,nnd in April it was fol
lowed by the Zionist ‘.Teune Tore,”
a paper friendly to the entente allien,
which incurred the wrath of the
authorities. The latest to disappear
is the “Turquic,” originally publish
ed in Italian and then in French. It
had existed on suffeance for some !
time, and had been permitted to pub- j
lisli only the official reports of Ger
many and Austria but no reports from
other capitals.
The papers that have witnessed the
rigors of war or censoring authorities
are the “Oscanischer Llody,” in Ger
man; the “Mouiteur Oriental,” in
French; “La Defence,” in French;
“Die Vorteidghg,” a monthly in Ger
man and “Hilul,” in French.
