REBELS SURROUND CAPITAL

Mexico City. Aug. la two
hours cabinet council was held last
night and while no details Of the dis
cushions were made public il Is be-
lieyed that the details of the trans
fer of the provisional government TO
the constitutionalists was the chief
theme. A special train was being
held at the Buena Vista station last
evening, presumably awaiting the de
parture of President Carbajal from
the capital commission of follow
ers of the late President Madero was
expected TO leave soon TO confer with
Gen. Obsegon regarding the hest me-
thod for the entry of the constitu-
tionalists.
Word has reached the capital that
the city is virtually surrounded by
constitutionalists and the men Of
sent in word by representative that
he Will guarantee peaceful entry
OF the constitutionalists. 1t was I'M
officially reported yesterday that the
LIST army brigade OF the federals
would leave Mexico City for Pueblo
yesterday. thus starting the evacua-
ton of the capital. The city is quiet.
Much anxiety has been felt there of
late over he proximity of Gen. Zapaa
and his army, but this was greatly
relieved yesterday by the announce
ment that Felipe Contreras. repre-
sentative of Zapata. had arranged
with President Carbajal for an arms
tice.
Three thousand rurales are ready
10 supplant the federal army as soon
as 1t vacates the city, though serious
disturbances now are not feared. A
manifesto to be issued by President
Carbajal will call upon the people To
maintain law and order and to sup
port the new government. As pub
lie opinion IL largely with the new
regime no trouble Is expected.

London, Aug 11.-No great battle
has yet been fought ON land or sea
in the war of seven nations, unless
the German assaults upon the fort
resses at Liege eventually assume
the proportions of a battle in history.
Both combatants claim victory there
with the Belgians still holding the
forts and the Germans occupying the
city.
The situation is a. unique one
There is no confirmation of the Daily
Nails report that the French have-en
gagged the Germans and cut off their
retreat, infiicting loss of 5000 men.
The Belgians claim that they have
taken 5000 prisoners on Belgian soil,
but military men regard all the es-
Inmates of the belligerents as great
exaggerations.
Apart from Liege, the fighting of
the first week when resolved to the
proper perspective eventually will
doubtless be considered insignificant.
One of the most important develop
aents in the eyes of experts is the
general testimony that the German
infantry formation is obsolete and in
effective against the weapons of to-
day and means an enormous slaugh-
ter is persisted in.
France and Austria finally are of.
ficially at war, the ambassadors hav-
ing left the respective capitals. The
French government broke off diplo.
matte relations with Austria on the
ground that Austrian troops were re-
inforcing the Germans.
Austria appears to have abandoned
the advance on Servia for time and
apparently is cooperating with Ger.
many in the supposed strategy of at
tempting to crush France before Rus.
sia can mobilize.
Financial conditions in England are
returning to normal. Although there
is great dislocation in manv trades.
the prices of foodstuffs have risen
only slightly.

FRENCH AGGRESSIVE
Paris Dispatches Say They are Vic

"A big calvary encounter has TAX.
en- place on the plateau east OF the
Meuse. probably at Woeurve, and is
reported TO have resulted fvorably
for our allies.
The net result of the operations,
so far as known here. is that the Ger
an advance has been stopped on the
line of Meuse and outfianked in Bel
GUM by the advancing French mass
es.
Equally the Germans have been
strategically outfanked by the French
inroad into Alsace
Thus the hostile tanks are men
aced and the front is seriously con.
tracted"
A Brussels dispatch to The Daily
Mail says:
II have received from trustworthy
sources confirmation of the news OF a
French success at Marbehan, a vii
lage Of Belgian Luxembourg, situated
on the railway line between Ostend
and basle, half way between Neufcha
teau and Arlon. IL is reported that
the French are now pursuing the Ger
mans. who are retreating.
Il am not allowed to state fully
what took place. but am certain that
all is well with the French forces in
Belgian Luxembourg. Belgian troops
did not take part in this fighting, as
il occurred in the zone apportioned to
the French"
Tho correspondent adds:
"The Liege forts will never surren-
der. and the garrisons will blow them
up when resistance is no longer pos
sible. This eventually. however. need
not be expected for a long time to
come"

BOY HIT BY AUTOMOBILE
cecle Moon Knocked Down by Geo.
M. Hawkes. Car

NJ. 1dWkS6 Gar
Cecile Moon, boy of or 10 years,
was hit about $50 O'Clock this after
noon by a car owned by George NJ
Hawks and driven by William Cone
at the corner OF Main and Silver
streets.
The boy was taken to his home on
Union street by Dr. Frank j. Hurley
The physician made an examination
and found that the boy had sustalaed
no fractured bones, but the extent of
his injuries could not be fully ascer-
tanned
Some of the spectators said that
one wheel of the car passed over the
boys body.
When the boy screamed Manager
John b. Harte or the Library theatre,
who had just opened his office for the
afternoon performance, rushed from
the theatre and picked up the child.
DR.. Hurley was going west over Main
street at the time of the accident
and at once took the boy into his car
and carried him home.
Mrs. Moon, the child's mother,
must have seen the accident or have
recognized the child when he was
picked up from the road. She was
so Frustrated that she tainted in front
of the theatre. She was at once TAX
en- into Mr. Hawkes. car and taken TO
her home.
The Hawks car had stopped in
front Of the Adams Hardware store
just before the accident. II backed
across Main street in order to go ov-
er Silver and had travelled but a few
feet when il struck the boy.
The actual circumstances of the ac-
cident can not be determined There
were a number of boys at play on the
corner and IL is presumed that the in
iured lad started to cross the street
when the car hit him.

ter. This attractive village of ours
should not be the means TO an end OF
a corporation that is naturally seek
ing its own, and not wholly the good
of this community as far as its ma
tural beauty is concerned. 1t is
fact, We must have light at night, and
in having this mist We sacrifice
much Of its natural beauty and per
nit common trespsssing and ruthless
havoc? Should not ~ufisightly poles
strung with many wires be removed
and the wires placed underground as
in other communities no larger than
our own?
The ruthless slaughter of the grand
cid trees on North street one year
ago is a lasting memorial OF this very
point in question. when restrictions
we're waved and a corporation was
allowed to do that which has proved
a lasting blemish on the community
in which you and | reside.
The possibilities Of Bennington are
great and We are justly proud of
what we have already achieved. The
men who arc called upon to decide
whether its beauty is to be preserved
and its right conserved. will make no
mistake in their decision on this mat
ter under consideration.

100 were shot today.
Some of the Germans captured
were wearing uniforms OF gendarmes,
civic guards, and soldiers and officers

Many Of the spies captured were
armed with bombs and revolvers and
were riding in automobiles bearing
false numbers. They also had in
their possession kilograms and let
tiers with the counterfeit signature Of
the Belgian Minister of War.
Just before and after the fighting
began private signs we're discovered
on bridges. military works, and aque-

President Wilson Shows Fairness In
Reappointing Judge r. n. Terrell.
Washington.-The reappointment OF
Robert Fl. Terrell as municipal court
judge in the District Of Columbia by
President Wilson Is both IN evidenre
Of Judge Terrell's eminent fitness for
the place and also of the presidents
willingness to recognize worth and
ability in the selection Of men for i'm

rell's career on the bench has been
marked by fairness and strict adher-
ence to the law. He has given salts
faction in the most difficult cases upon
which he has had to pass sentence.
Opposition to his confirmation by the
senate has developed In some quarters
by persons known to be opposed to
Afro-Americans holding high federal
position simply on the ground Of color.
Il Is not thought, however. that the
majority of the members of the senate
will vote against Judge Terrell's con-
firmation for any frivolous reasons or
because Of race or color. A better &C.

the race feels grateful to President
Wilson for thus recognizing one Of Its
members who has proved his worth
as a citizen, judge and a man OF
high moral standing.
The National Association For the
Advancement Of Colored People, with
headquarters at 20 Fifth avenue, New

ter to Senator Moses q. Clapp:
Hon Moses E. Clapp. United States Sem
ate. Washington, d. c.:
Dear Sir-The National Association For
the Advancement Of Colored People has
heard with apprehension the announce
ment that the nomination by President
Wilson of Robert III. Terrell as municipal
Judge Of the District Of Columbia Is to be
held up indefinitely in the senate II not
defeated by the action Of one senator who
u determined that no colored man shall
hold Office. d"
We submit that this procedure is most
unfair under any circumstances. but par
ticularly in this case when the fitness OF
the candidate Is unquestioned and when
the protesting senator holds his seat by
reason Of the disfranchisement Of the ma
jority Of the adult male citizens OF his
state. It is bad enough to have race
prejudice In high places Of our govern.
ment, but 1t is worse when such hatred
gains voice and power through the en-
forced silence and helplessness Of the
very persons who are made to suffer.
We protest against any senator being
permitted to hold up this nomination on
such grounds, and we plead for an imme-
diate consideration Of this nomination ON
ita inertia Respectfully YOURS.
