Great Britain as Our Foe
and Active Ally of Japan
Is Seen by Pennypacker

PHILADELPHIA Dec. 2s.--Former
Governor Samuel W. Pennypacker
criticised President Wilson, arrayed
America against Japan and excoriated
England yesterday afternoon in a
speech about the war at the 10th
anniversary of the founding Of the
German Society of Pennsylvania.
England, Jealous OF ner commercial
prestige, said the former governor
waged war against Germany, just as
she did against Holland when that
country was mistress OF the seas
Fifty years ago" said Mr.. Penny
packer, I'VE had a mercantile navy.
Then our Civil War came along, and
England taking advantage of our
situation, drove our commerce off
the seas"
The ex-governor's viewpoint, he
said, was purely an American one.

BY Tile Duiteu HEoshs
LONDON, Dec. Is (by mail to New
York;. The claims of the first lord
of the admiralty, Winston Churchill,
that England will have fifteen more
ready for action before
the end of next year Is no idle boast.
In fact, according to naval experts,
II is an understatement by at least
two ships.
since the outbreak of the war the
British censor has rigidly suppressed
the publication of anything concern
ing the building, launching or COM
of warships, but, without
breach of confidence, 1t is possible to
compile o fairly accurate list OF
Engiand's reinforcements from adj
miralty data already made public.
When war was declared England
had in commission twenty -eight
dreadnought battleships and battle
cruisers, not counting the Lord Nell
son and gamemnon. which although
nearly as powerfui--they mount four
Pinch and ten 9 2-10-inch guns a
piece--are reckoned as predread-
nc lights. Refitting England had thir-
ty-one ironc'ad monsters on August
4 and another four just laid down.
These vessels were rein forced by the
purchase OF TWO DdlliSSHipS bul4u-
Ing in England for Chile and the
forcible acquisition of two building
for Turkey.

seventeen vessels. including the Turk
ish and Chilean acquisitions. OF these
five the Emperor of India Benbok,

Royal Oak, Resolution. Families and
Revenge were aid down Just over a
year ago, and some. If not all, must
have been launched by now. The
same applies to the Turkish dread
noughts Birinje Osman and Resha-
dieh and the Chilean Almirante La
torre (now named Canada).
Considerable progress had been
made on the Turkish vessels, and IL
was only Turkeys lack Of money
that hindered their completion. Once
England took them over this draw

months of the war the work of COM
pletion has been pushed forward.

eleven dreadnoughts and battle crui-
sers building at the outbreak of hos
tilities, FIVE, the Koenig, Markgrad,

the first four are almost certainly In

VILLAS FORCES
ATTACK TUXPAM

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s@--General
Villas forces have suspended their
attacks on EbRno, near Tampico, and
have concentrated their attack on the
seaport of Tuxpanl, where fighting is
In progress today according to ad-
vices to the state department.
All administration officials were
satisfied today that General Scott,
chief OF stan, had insured permanent
cessation OF firing upon American soil
at Naco. He telegraphed that he
would have another conference with
General Maytorena, who has removed
his forces ten miles south of Naco.
Reports issued earlier today by the
Carranza agency here, saying that
General Gutierrez had resigned and
left Mexico City, were eontradicted
by dispatches to the state DEPART
ment from the Brazilian minister In
Mexico City. who yesterday had a
conference with Gutierrez.
The general situation, as reflected
in official dispatches, was viewed as
not altogether encouraging. Friction
is regarded as apparent between the
Zapata element and the Gutierrez
villa faction, which thus far, how
ever, has not resulted In any serious
break.
The CHIEF trouble seems TO have
arisen over the question of execu-
ton and punishment of former Fed
erals. Gutierrez and Villa have been
in favor of suspending the execu-
tons and giving some Federals an
opportunity to join their cause. Zap
alta, now at Cuernavaea, liz represent
ed as opposed to that, as Is General
Palafox, minister of the interior in
the Gutierrez cabinet and chief
spokesman for Zapata,
A compromise is being suggested,
whereby former Federals will be
gwen fair trials. They also would
be prohibited from Joining the Cutter
rez-Villa army. The American gov
eminent has found that both Cutter
req and Villa look with favor on its
suggestions for a general amnesty
for political offenders, but that the
Zapata element seems irreconciiiably
opposed to 1t.
The situation Is expected to de-
yelop further at the national con-
vention called for January ] In Mex
leo CITY. whom provisional
President will he chosen.
