HAS BIG FORCE
IN The VICINITY
Villa Threatens Convention
at Aguas Calientes.
DELEGATES IN A PANIC

Rebel Chief Said to Have Moved
Eighteen Thousand Men to Within
an Hours March Of Conference
Called to Settle fractional Dispute.
San Antonio, Tex, Oct. 21.-The

panic among the delegates to the con-
vention of military chiefs in Aguas
Calientes by moving an army of $4,000
men into position where he can en-
velop the city and imprison the en-
tire conference.
Villas army is reported to be with
in an hours march of Aguas Calientes.
To oppose him there are Carranza's
troops at Monterey and Saltillo, but it
would take several days to get them
to Aguas Calientes.
The sessions of the joint conference
of. military chiefs have been more
stormy than has been reported in cen
sored newspaper dispatches or official
reports, according to apparently relia-
BILE information.
According to the message from Mex
leo City to the consulate here the del
egates at Aguas Calientes, who in
clude many chiefs of the Constitution
aliSt armV have made an aDDeal to
CarranZa to guarantee their freedom
during the convention. They asserted
that Villas soldiers, who are in Aguas
Calientes as escorts to the chiefs Of
Villas army, robbed and insulted
them in the streets. They ask that
Aguas Calientes and surrounding ter
ritory be declared neutral during the
convention or that the convention be
removed to Mexico City.

SEVERE ENGAGEMENT
ON BELGIAN BORDER
Teutons Assume Offensive, but
French Claim Victories.

London, Oct. 22.-While England
versary of the battle of Trafalgar the
forces of Germany and the allies con-
tinued to fight back and forth along
the battle line in France and Belgium,
to the south from trenches, woods
and villages, and to the north over a
web of waterways, the presence of
which seems likely to give the strug-
gle there the name of the Battle Of
the Canals.
1t was strange coincidence that
Britons learned on Trafalgar day for
the first time officially that the Brit
ish feet is cooperating with the al
lied army on the French coast.
What units of the fleet are harbored
in the Straits of Dover, at times
throwing shells into the German col
umns operating on the French side
Of the waterway, are not known, but
the presence of gunboats has been
mentioned, which upholds the theo-
ries advanced soon after the Ger.
mans took Ostend that the British
navy has taken charge of the extreme
left of the allied line.
Sea Mastery New Factor.
The power of the British fleet and
England's mastery over the sea are
slowly becoming more and more fac
tors in the great war. England has
been fretting in the face of situ-
tion which so far has precluded any
general engagement with the German
fleet. Thus the mention of British
ships as being effective off the Bel
gian coast is hailed with particular
public satisfaction.
A decided bend has been made in
the German line in the neighborhood
of Roulers, as compared with the line
which recently stretched due south
from Ostend through Ypres to Lille.
Official advices indicate that along
the whole western front the Germans
have assumed the offensive.
On the allies left wing news dis
patches would indicate the allies are
doing more than acting merely on the
defensive, notably near Ostend.
French Tell Of Gains.
The French official statement says
the attacks by the Germans on Nieu-
port, Dixmude and La Bassee were
repulsed by the allies with great en-
ergy. The statements say at other
points the situation is without notable
change. Berlin officially reports that
German troops advancing along the
coast from Ostend met hostile forces
near Nieuport, on the User river, and
adds that west Of Lille, where fight
ing has been in progress since Sun.
day. the attacks of the allies were re-
pulsed with heavy losses to the
enemy.
The impression grows that the Ger.
mans are determined to add Dunkirk
to the line of seaports now held along
the Belgian coast and that the allies
are making desperate efforts to hurl
back the invaders. Reports coming
from Holland declare the Germans
have been repulsed six miles from Os.
tend and that guns are heard near
that city

inforced extreme right wing of the
German army to skirt the English
channel ports, with the supposed OBJ
ject of finding a new route to Paris,
is indicated by the French official
statement, which asserts that the Bel
gian army is maintaining it's position
on the River User.
Further actions, the statement
adds, are being fought between the
allies and the Germans in the region
of Ypres, Belgium. From Ypres the
allied left wing extends to the Eng.

ported by British naval forces.
The plunging German attackks on
the allied lines near the Belgian
coast between Nieuport and Dix

France between Arras and Roye,
where progress is claimed, a con-
tinued assault on Lille, still held by
the Germans, and stubborn fighting
in the vicinity of St. Mihiel, where for
days the allies have been trying to
drive the Germans from their south
ernmost lodgment, are the acute points
in the sprawling battle area of France
and Belgium.
eeIgians Hold Position.
The communication issued by the
French war office says the belgian
army is holding it's position on the
River User, despite violent attacks
by the Germans. The French and
English allies also have participated
in action in this vicinity. On the left
wing the Germans continue to hold
strongly their advanced posts around
Lille, in the direction of Armentieres,
Fourness and La Baessee. The allies
claim they have made some progress
along the right bank of the Meuse
river in the region of Camp des Ro-
mains. There is no Official confirma-
tion of the retaking of Ostend.

The question of immigration is be-
coming a serious one. The Mine
Workers Union has suggested that
a law be passed prohibiting immigra-
ton until every man in this country
has a job. This would put an end to
immigration, for there are some men
in the country who, under 10 cir
cumstances, would have a job. The
immigration board has suggested the
passing a law that would forbid the
entrance of any immigrant who could
not physically qualify for an entrance
into the United States army. This
would bar out most of the Japs who
want to come to this country, for
most of them are understood, and 1t
is the Japs that are not wanted here.
