rebel army had completely surround
ed Ojinaga excepting along the east
side, marked by the Rio Grande river.
In huge semi-circle running from
the Rio Grande on the north to the
Rio Grande on the south, with the
town between, the rebel forces were
spread out. AS they advanced large
body of federal outposts, cut off from
Ojnaga by the swift advance OF the
enemy, plunged into the Rio Grande
river and forded it. American pat
rolls on this side of the river seized
and disarmed men. They were imnl q
diately brought here for detention.
Meantime the enemy had advanced
to within two miles of Ojinaga and
was plainly visible from this side.
General Maclovios Herrera with 1,o0o
men approached the city from the
north, his left resting On the Rio
Grande two miles from the garrison.
General Rosalio Hernandez, with l.
900 soldiers appeared near San Juan,
on the westward, having marched
with his force from Villa Ahumada'
between Juarez and Chihuhua.
The most important rebel position
was taken up by Villa himself and
1900 men who advanced along the
Chihua road from LauMla Pass to
the southwest. Nateras 1000 were
between thu forces of Villa and Her
nandez ready to swing to whatever
point they were most needed.
With Ortega and 1,400 at Spencers
ranch, resting on the Rio Grande on
the south, this complsted the rebel
array.
AS the infantry and cavalry ad'
vanced, the rebel gunners were busy
moving their artillery into the lis

MAY BE GERMAN PROVENCE,
 SHRIEKS PUDYARD KiPLING

| LONDON. Sept S-"It is not conceivable that We should fail If we do fail. the lights of freedom go out over tho whole world,'
 This Was the statement of Rudyard Kip ling. the author. in a stirring address to a mass meeting at Brighton, where an i'm mense crowd had gathered to listen to speeches in support of Lord Kitchener's cru sade for recruits The meeting was pre- sided over by the lord mayor of Brighton, seconded by Herbert Samuel, president of the local government board. Mr. kiplng said:
 Through no fault nor wish of ours we are at war with Germany, the power which owes its existence to three well thought out wars; the power which, for the last twenty years has devoted itself to organizing and preparing for this war; the power which Is now fighting to conquer the civilized world
 For the last two generations the Ger mans in their books lectures speeches and schools have been carefully taught that nothing less than this world conquest was the object of their preparations and their sacrifices. They have prepared carefully and sacrifices greatly.
 'We must have men, and men, and men, if we, with our allies, are to check the rush of organized barbarism.
 Have no illusions. We are dealing with strong and magnifcently equipped enemy whose avowed aim is our complete destruc- ton.
 "The violation of Belgium, the attack or France and the defense against Russia are only steps by the way. The Germans real objective, as she always told us, is England and England's wealth, trade and worldwide possessions.
 If you assume for an instant that that attack will be successful England will not be reduced, as some people say, to the rank of a second-rate power but we shall cease to exist as a nation We shall become an outlying province of Germany, to be admin istered with what severity German safety and interest require.
 ''We arm against such a fate. We enter into a new life in which all the facts oi war that we had put behind or forgotten for the past hundred years have returned to the front and test us as they tested our fathers It will be long and hard road beset with difficulties and discouragements but we tread together, and we will tread together to the end.
 Our petty social barriers have been swept away at the outset of our mighty struggle All the interest of our life of SIX weeks ago are dead We have but one interest now and that touches the naked heart of every man in this island and in the empire.
 If we are to win the right for ourselves

HOW GERMAEJY AID AUSTRIA
 WILL SPLIT UP EUROPE

LONDON, Sept 27.-That the kaiser has in mlnd if he should win the pending war, the acquisition of the whole North sea and Baltic coast, from the Strait of Dover to the Gulf of Finland, is the expressed orinion of diplomats here representing coun- tries in arms against the German and Aus tro-Hungarian allies.
 Their theory is that he would claim the French departments of the Pas-de- Calais, the Nord, Ardannes, the Mouse and Muerthe et-Mose,la, Balgium and Luxemburg, the Netherlands, Denmark, the Russian Baltic provinces, which have already large Ger man populations, and probably Russian Poland
 The German government did indeed, say that it intended to evacuate Belgium as soon as the military situation made it possible, and Holland and Denmark have been merely alarmed without actually being threatened.
 Judging, however, from what the father lands ruler and his advisors undoubtedly would consider the necessities of the situa tion observers of continental affairs were convinced that Belgium would remain a German province and that means would be found of involving Holland and Denmark in the conflict before the time came for talk of settlement.
 From France and Russia, as having fought the Teutons, the demand for territorial in demnity would be neutral
 In addition to this, it was taken for granted that Austria would get Servia Mon tenegro Albania and possibly the Russian province of Bessarabia, and from Rouma- nia, which, while not yet in arms, has sym pathized with Russia, the Moldavian coun- try.
 Just as Germany declared it had no thought of taking territory from Belgium, Austria announced, when it declared hostill- ties that it had designs against Servias integrity.
 It was considered certain, however that the general war would be regarded as having wiped out these pledges.
 Bulgaria, being already pro Austrian, 1t was thought might expect to remaln un- molestcd.
 Turkey also, which, though it has thus far remained neutral, has passively favored Germany was also deemed likely to con tinue undisturbed.
 Greece. however, as a friend of the Brit ish- French Russian -Servian combination, was considered likely to lose to Austria, sooner or later, part at least of the terri tories it wrested from the sultan.
 With Italy so far having failed to join the Teutons in arms though bound to them ny a treaty Of alliance, t was be-

leved there would also be stern reck oning, which would probably cost at least two or three northern provinces.
 So far as Great Britain is concerned, Ger many was thought to covet not so much foothold on the British isles as a share of the nations colonial possessions.
 Even in the event of a continental vic tory it could not obtain this while the British retained control of the seas, but supreme on the continent it was regarded as certain that the kaiser's next business in life would be to end the British naval supremacy.
 That these things would come to pass the allies did not believe, holding not only that they would but for the sake of their very existence, they absolutely must Win.
 The objects named, however, are, in thelr opinion, the stake in the present struggle,

GERMAN WARSHIPS VICTIMS
 OF DISASTROUS MISTAKE

LONDON Sept. 1s.-The report of dis aster to the German fleet in the Baltic sea is confirmed, although it was not the result of an encounter between the German and Russian fleets. The trouble arose when numerous German torpedo vessels, attended by cruisers hunting for passenger steamers belonging to the enemy mlstook some of their own ships for those of the enemy, They attacked and were replied to by their ships, which believed they were being at tackled by the enemy. A lively battle en- sued, and the result was several German cruisers badly damaged and numerous Ger mans wounded Cruisers carrying the wounded have entered Kiel and bring the story of their own disastrous error.

The Cause of the Trouble

Lewis J. Duncan, just removed from the 1ffice of mayor of Butte, is a man of excep ticnal ability and character. He was serv- ing his second term as mayor having been elected on the Socialist ticket III spite of the strenuous opposition of the mine oper- atOrs.
 Butte has been under martial law since September 1, when the city was occupied by the state militia Prior to that time & reign of terror had existed, the civil authori ties being apparently powerless or unwilling to cope with the situation
 The trouble in Butte grew out of an at tempt on the part of the Industrial Work CTS of the World to disrupt the Butte union of the Western Federation of Miners, whose members were exclusively employed in the mines A new union was formed, called the Butte Mine Workers Union, which pro- ceeded to dispace the eli union, and dyna- miting and shooting we,e resorted 10. In the ensuing rIotlng the .4!nerS' Union hall was wrecked and severs ~ons killed. The climax came when the Anion attempted to compel by force the elni lOyes of the vari- ous mines to desert the W. tern Federation and join the new organization. State troops s}ere ,ilnmediatefy ssnt for, th1 city was placed under s1 closed and the officers of the new union be came fugitves. On September ) the milt tary officials allowed the civil court to re- sume in order to permit of proceedings be- ing instituted against the city and county Otncials.

FANTASTIC STORY OF
 ORIGIN OF THE WAR

NEW YORK Sept "A cable from Paris to the American tells this unusual tale:
 Crown Prince William of Germany, al ways belEcose and not his august father, set the nations of Europe at each other throat, according to a graphic story which comes here from Berlin.
 When the kaiser, returning to Berlin from his cruise in Scandinavian waters, learned the position in which his belllgerent helr and the war party had placed Germany a position from which 1t was impossible to withdraw without compromising the emplre he flew into terrible rage.
 Summoning the crown prince his father upbraded him frightfully, and at the helght of his fury actually struck his son ln the face.
 So overcome was the kaiser by the force of his passion that, exhausted, he sank into chair and the painful scene ended:
 While the kaiser was off the coast Of Nor. way the crown prince buslly eo-operated with the most aggressive mlitarlsis- They found way to declare war agaln. Russia which, superfcially at least, atto' led spe, cious pretext Returning, the kalser found it was impossible to repudlate what had been done without humiiating himself, the crown prince and the empire in the eyes of his allies, and, indeed, of all Europe.
