" 'il- ==?= rXITEB STATES DEMANDS RELEASE OF JENKINS Washington, Nov. 24.?Before sending the hote to the Carranza Government of Mexico, demanding the immediate. release of William O. Jenkins?the American Consular Agent at PuebTa, Mesiico, who was recently kidnapped by Mexican bandits and he]ld for $150,000 ransom, and who, af^er his release by the bandits, was arrested by the Mexican authorities on the absurd charge of complicity in his own kidnapping^the State Department, it is now reported, carefully weighed the entire situation and decided that, unless there should be a prompt and complete compliance with the demands contained in this note, the American Government would take steps to compel such compliance and also to deal adequately with the * whole troublesome Mexican situation. The statement in the note that Jenkins must be immediately released i n | and that any further molestation of the Consular Agent "will seriously af- I feet relations between Mexico and the United States," me'ant, it is said, precisely what the words imply?that America will use force if necessary to coriipel compliance. The note was, in fact,' an ultimatum, and, while America would deplore the necessity for such action, it may mean armed inter ii is admited in high official circles that the State Department has before it a War Department estftnate of just what would be involved by intervention. This estimate, it is stated, in' dicates that three yc-ars and 450,000 men would be required for this pur pose. ???? FOOD ADMINISTRATION POWERS ARE GIVEN TO PALMER. y ??? Washington.
