U. S.TROOPS READY IF NEEDED
Transports Prepared to Carry Soldiers
to Mexico-General Reports
Nothing Alarming"

Washington, Nov. 9.-Ten thousand
American infantrymen and several
transports are at Galveston ready to
rush to reinforce General Funston at
Vera Cruz, if they are needed, it was
stated at the war department.
Cable dispatches to the war depart
ment from General Funston failed to
dispose of the alarming reports that
Vera Cruz may be attacked and that
the dangerous anti-American feeling in
Mexico City is growing.
Secretary of War Garrison tele-
graphed, to General Funston that re-
ports had it that an attack on Vera
Cruz was imminent and that there was
great unrest at the Mexican capital.
The war department wanted to
know exactly what truth there was in
these rumors, so it could rush aid to
Funston if necessary.
General Funston laconically replied:
MANY unsubstantiated rumors have
prevailed for long. time. / think it
better to discredit unsubstantiated ru-
mors. There is nothing alarming in
local conditions at Vera Cruz

the fall of the fortress are briefly but
dramatically described in official re-
ports which are sent to the govern
ment by Vice-Admiral Sadakichi Kato,
the commander of the Japanese naval
forces, and Northumberland Kamio,
commander of the troops operating in
Kiauchau
After the capture Of the central
fort, it appears from their statements,
the left wing of the attacking forces
advanced and occupied Chanshan at
$40 o'clock in the morning Chanshan
was the base of the right wing of the
German line and is a triangular forti-
fication.
Then the other forces, at the point
OF the bayonet, captured the forts of
the first line, including the intricate
and dangerous defense works connect
ing them. Other forces advanced in
rushes on the main line of defense
made up of the forts of Iltis, Bis
marck and Moltke.

GERMANS REPORTED
tREADY To RETIRE
FROM BELGIUM
Dispatch From French Source
and Not Confirmed.
FIGHT FROM SEA TO LORRAINE
Allies Said to Be Advancing All Along
the Line-Joffre Gives Command
for Supreme Effort to
Gust Invaders.

London, Nov 9.-The Fren.h drive
against the German line has COM
menced.
The army of General Jofre has
taken the offensive all along the line
from the sea to German Lorraine.
With the hope of duplicating the re-
suit Of the battle of the Marine, Cen
eral Joffre has given the word for
supreme effort TO drive the Germans
back to their own territory.
Unless all signs fail history will
record that Joffre waited in the bat
tie of Flanders, as in the advance on
Paris, only until he considered that
the German forces had been on thu
offensive just long enough to batter
their strength out against line that
was impregnable. Then he ordered
general offensive movement in great
streEgth-that supreme heave of the
giant body that losses the wrestler's
his grip.
1t is not in the French strategy to
foretell these movements. Indeed
this dispatch's fate with the censor
rests solely upon the understanding
that the Interpretation placed upon
the news of the day from official
sources is that of the correspondent
and not of any official.
French Line Firm.
1t is permissible to state, however,
that in the massing of great bodies
of re-enforcements behind the allied
troops on the battle front about Ypres
and Arras it was not merely the
French plan to better tie allies
chances of withstanding the impend-
ing German attack, which Lad for its
object the seizure of Calais, but to be
ready when, n the opinion of General
JOffre and his staff. the moment should
arrive for the assumption Of the of
fensive by the allies in such proper
tion as to insure a decisive defeat for
the Germans.

The official communicates issued in
Paris gave news not only of the weak
ening of the German attack, but of
the successful embarkatiol. of the al
lied troops upon their offensive move
ment. Where the offensive was not
taken by the allies their line held
firmly against the German assaults.
Coincident with the announcement
that the allies have taken the often
sive, reports from various sources in
France and Belgium declare the Ger
mans are rapidly withdrawing from
Belgium.
One statement records that between
the River Lys and the North sea the
fighting generally was less violent.
and the attacks Of the enemy, sporad-
&c in the main. were repulsed, partic-
ularly in the direction Of Dixmude and
to the northeast of Ypres.
The statement says the activity
of the Germans was concentrated in
the region about Ypres without re-
suit"
"On almost all this front we in
turn took the offensive and advanced.
notably in the region to the north
of Messines."
British Win Victory.
The British troops, too, were able
to record an aprreciable advance in
the neighborhood of Armentieres, and
other British forces repealed the at
tacks directed by the kaisers troops
against the positions held by the
British between LaBassee and Arras.
Fighting in all these regions has
continued under the greatest diff
culties, due to the dense Cog which
has prevailed since early on Satur-
day not only n the north out in Cham
payne and Lorraine. Action of the ar
tillery was severely hampered and
aviators had great difficulty in observ-
ing the enemy's positions and direct
ing the range of the gunners
A terrific battle is raging on the
Aisne, where the allies also have be-
gun to press forward.
After MAXIM several marked adj
vances in the vicinity of scissors a
battle of great magnitude and fierce
character was precipitated when the

but the German defensive was so
stubborn that when night fell the al
lied troops had been unable to gain
the height.

reported to number fully 100000 men,

DISEASE is HALTED
EPIDEMIC AMONG CATTLE RE.
PORTED UNDER CONTROL.
All Animals at Stockyards in Chicago
Have Been Slaughtered-Situa-
ton in Montana Serious.

Chicago. Nov with the excep-
ton of about seyenty-five cases among
the 500 prize dairy show cattle iso-
lated in the feeding stables near the
International Amphitheater, there is
not case of hoof and mouth disease
left at the Chicago stockyards.
The last cases were eradicated yes
terday, when 262 cattle and 100 hogs
were shot and their carcasses thrown
into the quicklime pits. For the first
time since the stockyards opened,
there was not living hog, hog or
sheep inside the yards last night.
DR.. S. E. Bennett, government in
spector in charge, declared the cpl
demic was absolutely under control
in Chicago. Today his men, working
with the state veterinarian, will go out
into the state to begin the slaughter
of infected dairy herds
The first work will be done in the
south end of Kane county, where about
500 animals on seven farms will be
shot and their carcasses destroyed.
The value of the animals slaugh-
tered and buried in quicklime since
the epidemic was found at the stock
yards is s74 900, $751; 900 for the cattle
and $4,000 for the hogs. The federal
government will pay half of this sum,
and Governor Dunno of Illinois has
promised to ask the legislature to ap-
propriate sufficient money to pay the
other half
Dr. Bennett said the disease was
completely checked here, and that it
soon would be under control in all
the states except Montana. It is fear
ed that if it spreads to the ranges, it
may not be stamped out for years. He
had received no word from there yes
terday, but said government inspect
ors were carefully guarding the train
load of animals in which the infection
was discovered and watching for any
new outbreak along the line.
No new. states were quarantined
yesterday. but fresh outbreaks were
reported down state. About fifty coun-
ties in Illinois are under quarantine.
Two herds were destroyed in Wis
consin, and the state veterinarian of
Colorado issued an order barring all
live stock from entering the state un-
less the cars are fumigated and the
animals passed by a state or govern
ment Inspector He also asked the
authorities Of Utah, Wyoming, New
Mexico. Arkansas and Oklahoma to
adopt similar precautions. -.
