TROOPS AT VERA
CRUZ TO LEAVE
IN A FORTNIGHT
Plans Completed at a
Conference in the
White House

Washington. Sept. 21.-Plans for the
evacuation Of Vera Cruz were COM
pleted today at a conference between
President Wilson and Secretary Gar
rison. The latter sent word to Grn-
eral Funston that as soon as the state
department could adjust certain ques-
tons which had arisen over the pay
ment of funds collected at the Gus
toms house and American refugees
cared for. a date would be fixed for the
departure of the troops.
Secretary Garrison expressed the
opinion that the troops probably would
be able to get away within a fort
night. The secretary made it clear that
the American government would not
undertake to care for any refugees in
Vera Cruz except Americans. Church
organizations of other countries, it is
presumed will pay for the transporta-
ticn of the others, unless foreign gov
ernments request relief. General Fun
ston estimates that besides the 300 So
called religious refugees there are 1000
others who desire to leave before the
evacuation begins.

Collapse Sudden

The collapse of the fight for the bill
came suddenly, after a desperate at
tempt to wear down the Republican
opposition led by the senator from
Ohio, aided by Senator Kenyon, of
Iowa, which began last Friday morn
ing. and included a 80 hours session.
ending Sunday night. Senator Burton,
whose achievement will go down as a
yaledictory effort in a congressional
career of % years, was warmly con-
graduated by many of his colleagues
as the clerk announced the vote which
sealed the fate of the big appropria-
ton bill
Senator Bankheads motion was in
terjected in the proceedings tonight at
a moment when it became apparent
that a substitute offered by Senator
Burton for the committee bill cham
pioned by Senator Simmons. of North
Carolina, was to receive the support
of the Democrats. who had been fight
ing for the original bill. Senator Bur-
ton himself had expressed dissatisfac-
ton over his own substitute because
it did not cut deep enough and had
given notice that he would re-submit
later his motion to re-commit the
bill. 1t was then that Senator Bank
head surprised the Senate by pre-
senting the same resolution to recon-
nit. Senator Simmons, in charge of
the bill, made a game last stand. but
it was at once apparent that the fight
was lost and the roll call was quickly
ordered.
Tomorrow the Commerce committee
will meet to carry out the instructions
of the Senate. Several Democrats to-
night expressed the opinion that the
outcome would be satisfactory to
President Wilson, who had conferred
with Senator Simmons earlier in the
day and urged that the bill be cut.
They also believed the action might
aid in overcoming opposition to the
war revenue bill.
Democratic senators who voted to
recommit the bill were: Ashurst, Bank
head, Chiffon. Gore, Hollis, Johnson,
Lane, Lee. of Md, Lewis, MARITIME,
Pitman, Pomerene, Shafroth. Smith, of
Ariz., Thompson and White.
Minority senators who voted with
supporters of the Democratic bill
against the Bankhead proposal were;
Jones, Penrose, Perkins, Poindexter
and Townsend.
Democrats who stood by the bill until
the end were: Bryan, Chamberlain,
Fletcher, Kern, Lea Of Tenn; Over
man, Ransdell, Robinson, Salisbury,
Shmeppard. Shields, Simmons, Smith
of Md. Smith of S. c., Stone, Thorn
ton and Williams.
The bill rejected, when originally re-
ported from the commerce committee,
carried $50 ,000,0 900, but as a result of
the long fight which was begun by
Senator Burton early in the SUMMER,
had been reduced to about $34000,000
by committee action two weeks ago.
Senator Bankhead delivered an i'm
passioned speech, appealing to his
Democratic colleagues to re-commit
the bill
In rapid succession Senators MARITIME,
Pomerene and Thompson announced
their support of the Bankhead motion.

TurcOs Daring

The Turcos are adding daily to their
record of daring achievements. Late
last night in a bayonet encounter, they
broke through the German lines, with
out firing more than a few shots and
re-captured and brought back four
field guns which the French troops
had abandoned the previous day. They
seemed to disdain the murderous rifle
and machine gun fire poured into
them, refusing to listen to the officers
who tried to keep them under cover.
Cold steel again played a consider
able part today in the battle of the
enormous hosts fighting along the
Aisne, the Disc and Woevre. The most
remarkable point about the encount-
ers is that the troops scarcely see each
other before they actually come hand
to hand.
The recklessness displayed at the be-
ginning of the hostilities with the re-
sultant carnage through the machine
guns, has almost disappeared and
every movement OF the attacking and
defending troops is carried out with
the utmost caution until the moment
of actual contact.
The Germans have suffer- more In
these engagements, for the French
troops. from Africa and the British in
fantry are adopts with the bayonet.
General Joffe holds in his hands
every phase Of the battle. Behind the
