governor de signate of Vera Cruz, ought
to be sufficient for Washington. The
first chief is of the opinion that the
United States has no reason for expect
ing any action by his government in view
OF Gen. Augilar's promise that he would
publicly proclaim his intentions to recog-
nize the tax receipts given American Of
fiCials, to protect foreigners and their
property, refugees OF all natiOnalities, $,
and such Mexicans as have been in the
service OF the American administration.
The spirit and contents of the note
is regarded here as another demonstra-
tion OF the impossibility Of the United
States government making any progress
in Mexico as long as Carranza is head
of the central government. Officials are
now about convinced that Carranza will
maintain unbroken his present record OF
never doing anything the United States
government asks and of treating with
the most extreme rudeness every proposal
advanced from Washington.
The reports received from the Aguas
Calientes convention state that the con-
vention has adopted the important ar
ticles in the plan Of Ayala, or the "a
patista program. This provides for an
immediate redistribution OF the lands OF
Mexico.
Rafael Zubaran, Carranza representa-
tive in Washington, last night announced
that Carranza has given notice that he
was willing to retire provided Villa and
Zapata would also retire to private life
This announcement was foreshadowed in
other reports from Mexico several days
ago. 1t has not been thought that the
convention would accept Carranza's s resig-
nation upon such terms, even II Villa
and Zapata were willing to give up their
commands.

shells were landing among their own
men. When the big guns ceased their
fire several furious hand-to-hand con-
fiiCts were precipitated. so anxious were
the occupants Of the opposing lines Of
trenches to be at each other after the
rest Of the past two days.
The official bulletin issued by the war
office in the afternoon reported that the
Germans who remained on the west of
User had been drowned OUT by the
Belgians.
These isolated detachments which had
succeeded in retaining n foothold on the
west bank had entrenched themselves In
low wooded positions in which they had
balked every effort TO dislodge them.
Finally the Belgians resorted to a trick
that had worked with success in the
first days Of this terrific battle. They
opened the dykes and inundated the field
in which the Germans had fortified them
selves
Soon the invaders began quitting their
positions. breaking for the crossings by
which they had come. But these had
been destroyed by the Belgians, and while
the Germans were directing their frantic
endeavors toward bridging the canal the
French and Belgian guns cut them down
until score upon score Of bodies were
tumbled into the canal.
New fighting has occurred in the vi
cinity Of Rheims. according to the night
communique and in the region of the
heights OF the Meuse to the south Of
Fresnes-en-Woevre, but with no decisive
results.
At all the other points at which the
armies have come in contact the allies
have made progress, according to the
war ONCE.
Notable among these Is the region
about Arras and Albert where the con-
fiict has been incessant for almost two
weeks. Several villages between these
towns have been taken by the allies. On
the right bank Of the Aisne where the
fighting was done on the heights which

were able to record certain gains.

ported strongly by Theodore W., Noyes,

Senator Blair yesterday declared his
desire to witness the reOpening and sys-
tematic direction of the campaign here.
The Blair form of amendment, in pro-
posing but one Senator. takes cognizance
Of the possibility Of a deadlock in an
electoral commission such as resulted in
the Hayes-Tilden controversy, weak
ness in the American governmental plan
which offers always the possibility Of re-
volt over a national election.
The resolution provides that when the
election of a President devolves upon
Congress, the Districts representatives
shall vote as a State, but in no contin-
gency shall their vote be cast when such
action would result in a deadlock. Thus,
the Districts representatives would have
the power to break a deadlock, but not
to create one. This and other proposals
will be considered at the next meeting OF
the committee Wednesday afternoon.

Turkeys Action Opens Door
For Other Nations to War

The opinion expressed in Petrograd that
Turkish participation in the war Is OF
greater concern TO Great Britain than to
Russia Is shared generally here. not only
because Of its threat against Egypt, but
also because II will reopen the old ques-
ton Of the Dardanelles and CONSTANT
nople. There are evidences that Russia
will undertake war upon Turkey with
great satisfaction and enthusiasm, in the
prospect OF fulfilling her ancient am
bition to control the DardanElles. The
achievement of this desire by Russia.
however. hardly can be accepted calmly
by Great Britain, II is asserted. 1t Is
already suggested that Great Britain will
seek TO have Greece enter the war, take
Constantinople, and hold it. while Russia
might be comp nsated by the opening
OF the Dardanelles to all traflc. It Is
argued that Greece practically is a Rus
sian protege, so that the Gar should be
willing to accept occupation of Con-
stantinople by the Greeks.
While relations OF the United States
with Turkey are quite as good now as
could well be expected in the light Of
events. and particularly Turkeys abroga-
ton OF the capitulations, in the face Of
protests from all the powers. including
the United States, there is much anxiety
here over the situation as affecting
American interests. Some consolation is
found in the fact that for two months
Americans in the Turkish Empire have
been advised either to leave Turkey al
together. or establish themselves at points
whence they could readily make their
exit in safety in case Of an emergency.
The cruisers Tennessee and North Caro-
lima have been sent to Turkish waters
and will remain there indefinitely for the
protection of American interests. The
fear has been that in the event Of war
anti-Christian uprisings would follow
which would endanger the life of evesy
foreigner In the empire.
Reports have been received indicating
that influences were at work in support
of the war party which sought to merge
the political issues at stake with eco
nomic and religious questions, chiefly for
the purpose Of arousing greater enthusi-
asm for the projects OF the war party in
Constantinople.
According to rough estimates made by
State Department officials. there are now
nearly 1000 United States citizens in Turk
ish territory, all OF whom will be in a
precarious position because OF the decIar-
alton Of war by Turkey.

Director OF the Mint George Roberts
yesterday announced that he had handed
his resignation to Secretary OF the Treas
ury MeAdoo. Mr.. Roberts has accepted
the position OF assistant TO the president
Of the National City Bank OF New York.
which recently has been created by that
bank. and he expects TO take up his new
duties in a few weeks
Director Roberts has served as head Of
the Mint Bureau during four Presidential
terms. In 1907 he resigned the place to
take the presidency of the Commercial
National Bank Of Chicago. President
Taft reappointed him to the dictatorship.
and although he was a Republican he
was continued In the present administra-
tiOn. His present term would not have
expired until December, 1875
Mr.. Roberts is one OF the country's 8
foremost authorities on financial subjects
and is author OF a numbeB OF important
papers on International finance. Presi-
dent Wilson was urged to appoint him to
the Federal Reserve Board. and many
people In Washington thought for long
time that one of the positions on the
board would be tedered Mr.. Roberts.

Significance Of DeclaringHos-
tiities Against Russia Fully
Realized Here Ottoman
Government Warned Her

if She Joined Strife.

The significance OF the action OF Tur.
key in opening hostilities against Rus
sia Is fully appreciated here. It Is gen.
orally agreed that Turkey has thus
opened the door to events the possibilities
of which can hardly be overestimated.
The Triple Entente powers have given
Turkey to understand that her day in
Europe would come to an end II she took
part in the war. 1t also has been un-
derstood that Greece and even Italy had
let Turkey know that they could not re-
main Indifferent to her entrance into the
war.

tached to the attitude Of Bulgaria Should
Bulgaria join with Turkey there is no
question but what Greece would make
war on both. and Roumanis, it Is be-
lieved, would be drawn into active SYM
pathy with Russia Should Bulgaria re-
main neutral, II is considered quite prob

BAD BLOOD.
Hatred of the Nations for One
Another.

This European war was born of the
hatred caused by earlier warfare-it
will engender other wars between the
same nations in the future. The sons
yet unborn will carry this hatred in
their blood to blaze into warfare when
the spark is touched by Kings or
Statesmen who are yet in infancy.
It's bad blood that makes your liver
sluggish and the same bad blood causes
your stomach muscles to lose their
elasticity and become fiabby and weak
and that means indigestion.

cry, purely vegetable and free from al

edy, for all its ingredients are printed

Take it as directed and it will search
out impure and poisonous matter in
the stomach, liver, bowels, and kid

cumulations. 1t will replace all the

After reviewing the disturbed condi-

said:
That a crisis now exists in the affairs

the war started, principally because of
inadequate operating income. is now con-
fronted by a grave emergency, would
seem to be but plain truths. II this be
so, We submit that the commission should
aid, so far as they legally may. in the
carriers to secure a more nearly adequate
net income through the proposed in
creased rates.
Thorne Says Roads Prosper.
Clifford Thorne, representing the Iowa
Railroad Commission, made the conclud-
ing argument for the protestants. Mr..
Thorne said the statistics showed that
the railroads were prosperous, and that
they were now going through a period Of
unparalleled prosperity. and he accused
the railroads of trying to put some things
over on the commission. He referred to
the disclosures concerning the New Hav-
en- and one or two other railroads, and
said:
IF you gentlemen are able to put that
over, that thing which will make this
epoch famous for all time, the great mir
acle Of the twentieth century will be the
transformation Of water into gold. This
will be done by the magic wand Of the

from near the Takal lighthouse, according
to a dispatch from Kertsch, a seaport

of her passengers were drowned.
In spite Of these losses suffered by
