WILLIAM F. COLLINS
BACK FROM EUROPE
Correspondent Returns to Give Further
War Impressions and To Take
Rest After Travels.

The Evening News European core
spondent, William F. Collins, who has
been either on the Continent or in Eng
land since the first weeks of the war,
arrived in New York yesterday on the
st. Louis. His return at this time was
for two reasons.
The first is that the readers of this
paper may be given additional impress
sions, written in the home Office, of
what he has seen and heard. This sup
Elementary material can, of course, be
prepared here with a fulness and free
dom impossible in Europe under pres
ent conditions. The second reason was
to obtain u respite from arduous cam
paigning. When events Justify the de
cision. it is the intention of the News
to have the correspondent. return to
Europe to report the second phase on
which the war now is entering.
Mr. Collins sailed for Europe August
II, his point of destination being Cop
enhagen. As soon as possible, he pro-
ceeded TO Germany, being in Berlin at
the time of the celebration, the day
of the Sedan anniversary, on account
of the initial German successes in the
war. After sending letters on the sit
uation in the Kaiser : capital, he
went to Austria, having talk in
| Vienna with Count BerchtOld, the
Austrian minister of foreign affairs
the man who by penning the stiff ulti
matum to Servia was the direct agent
in applying the match to the European
magazine.
Count Berchtold had prepared for the
News the historic statement Of the
Austrian foreign office on Austria :
view of the causes of the war and tn,
position of the dual monarchy IN thu
conflict.
The correspondent returned to Ger
many, and later went to England t.
report on the situation there. Follow

CARRANzA's NARROW ESCAPE
Wild Locomotive Dashed Into His
as Train.

WASHINGTON, Der s-23.-Thc trip
OF Gen. CalTanza from Vera Cruz to
the isthmus Of Tehuantepec was in
corrupted by Zapata forces, who cap
htrcd Soiedad and from there sent a
wild locomotive into his approaching
train. Neither Carranza nor any Of his
party was injured.
These facts were reported last night
in a private despatch from a point on
the railroad on which CarTanZa was
travelling. Officials Of the Washington
government placed full credence i'll the
report. but declined to comment on II
beyond saving that they had consular
advices telling of tarranza : depart
ure for the isthmus.
Gen. Carranza, according to the pri-
vate despatch, returned to Vera Cruz
after the incident at Soledad. and has
now gone to Cordoba to inspect his
troops. From Cordoba. some OF his OF
| licers say. he will continue his journey
| to the isthmus, after which he will &C
| to Merida, in Nucatan. Carranza OF
| ficials in Washington deny emphati
caIIv suggestions which have been cur
rent in Mexico City that Carranza in
! tended to fee to Central American
country. They say the first chief plan
ned his trip to the isthmus just after
the railway to that part of Mexico
was taken over by the Carranza fac

FISH AS A FOOD
AGAINST MEAT
AS Much Tissue Building Food in
Pound of Fish at 10 Cents as In
Pound of Meat at so Cents.

Dr. Henry Tucker, health officer, has
received from the directors OF the port
of Boston their first bulletin issued in
an effort to reduce the high cost of
living in New England. 1t is entitled
Fish as Il Food, or Fish Against Meat.
| 1t calls attention TO the benefits Of
fish as a food.
:" With the price of meat almost
prohibitive," the bulletin says, 1.-THE
port directors point out that fish is
the only staple article of food today
TO which the people of Massachusetts,,
New England and i'll fact the entire
country can turn for relief from the
high cost of living.
1t is with the protein in foods,
which builds and repairs the tissue OF
the body and brain, that the consumer
is mostly concerned. Smoked ham at
% cents a pound has IS per cent OF
4 protein while Il pound of haddOck at
, seven cents contains IS per cent pro
tein. Other comparisons made are AZ
, follows: pork chops at p cents, II
per cent; herring at cents, 10 pea
| cent; sirloin at so cents, 10 per cent;
: bluefish at 10 cents, 10 per cent

PASSPORTS REFUSED.
Former Brattleboro Man Cannot Sat
isfy U. S. Embassy.

\ peculiar instance OF present rigid
enforcement of regulations surrounding
the issue of passports by United States
diplomatic missions is found III the
London embassy's failure to grant the
application OF Edwin Potter Carpcn-
ter, who claims to have been born in
Boston, Mass. for such documcnr.
There is nc reason to show that Car
penter, who has been Il resident of
London many years and is III business
there. isn't entitled to claim American
citizenship except his inability to find
any one among his friends here able
to swear that he is a native of the
United States.
1t has been suggested that Carpenter
cable relatives and friends in America
aud get them TO lay the necessary
proof before the state department, but
he is unwilling to take that step lest
his request give rise to fear that he is
in some kind of trouble. Instead he
has deposited with Ambassador Page
mass Of letters and other papers
which he insists clearly demonstrate
his American nationality. Among then
are documents to show he was Il judge
at the Chicago world 5 fair and I
member Of the American commission
to the Antwerp exposition some years
ago.
He is member of the American
Luncheon club and is widely known il
