Editor Ell Paso Herald,
This is just to suggest that Russia
might have gone a step farther in
changing the name OF her capital tOl
Petrograd and changed the first lettera
10 "R." thereby furnishing a most ap-
propriate name for all of Europe.

mand for foodstuffs will grow in volume

First Important Clash OF

Washington. November Is.--Ger.

under control of the sguas CnIicntes

City. His army today rcnched Leon, the
first important railroad center south of
sAxuas Cnlientes- iN
General Pablo Gonzales Carranza
forces are at Queretaro and 1rapuato.
where the first important clash between
General carranza and the convention
probably will occur.
These facts were reported today by
George C. Carrothers, American con-
sular agent, accompanying General
villa. carrothers declared Villa was
we'll equipped for the march.
American Consul Silliman telegraphed
that conditions were far more serious
in Mexico City than at any time since
the parleys for peace began. He regards
actual hostilities as inevitable, though
some generals still are trying to patch
up differences.
General Carranza, according to mes
sages from Mr. Silliman and Leon Ca
nova, special agent at Aguas CallenteS,
declared that he had been misunder-
stood, that he never intended to de-
liver the executive power except to
some man of his own selection
Officials here tonight believed Gen.
Eulalio Gutierrez, chosen provisional
President by the convention, had or
dered general attack on Carranza
garrisons. Gutierrez controls nothern
Mexico and General Villas advance
guard is within zoo miles of the Mex
lean capital.
One column of convention forces is
moving eastward from San Luis Potosi
to Tampico. Another is endeavoring to
cut off the forces of General Jesus
Carranza at Puerto Mexico. An engage
ment at julie. near Puerto Mexico. was
reported today by American Consul
Canada. Gen. Jose Carbajal. villa
commander, was killed.
Whether or not ex-federal forces un-
der Gen Higino Aguila and Argumedo,
which threaten Puebla, are working in
harmony with General Villa is not
known but renewed attacks on the
Carranza lines by Zapata troops are
expected.

NdHScS " idt iieis
Should Wake Up
"The farmers of the SOUTH" continued
the statement, Ought to wake up to
the Importance of crop divevsifoation,
There never before was time when
they could wake up with such certain
profit to themselves"
Members of the reserve board were
inclined tonight to believe that present
conditions point to a decided reduc-
tfon in the cotton acreage through in
iAences outside the cotton producing
states. and predicted that with acreage
reduced cotton would go to normal
level next year.
General supervision of the cotton loan
fund will be under the federal reserve
pointed cotton loan committee in ac-
tive charge of the work, according to
announcement at the treasury tonight
The first meeting of this committee
will be held in New York Friday morn
ing.
McAdoos statement said in part;
THE plan gives the cotton loan COM
mitlee power to appoint committees in
each of the cotton producing states OF
Alabama, Arkansas. Florida. Georgia,
Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina,
a. south Carolina, Texas and
Tennessee to assist 1t in carrying on
,1e practical work.
while the creation of the cotton
loan fund and its use under the plan,
will have far reaching and beneficial
influence upon the cotton and business
situation, nevertheless the attention OF
.oatn should not be drawn away
from the other pressing and important
problem with which it must intelligent
ly and effectively deal, namely, ma
terial reduction of cotton acreage in
1915, and the raising of food products
on large part of the acreage hereto
