Washington. August 12.--GeneraI Carrsnxa has ordered held at Tampico n large shipment of ammunition con signed to General Villa, according to official adviccs today to. the Washing ton government.
 For many weeks Villa has been recruit ing and buying ammunition, and Car ranza has not objected to shipment of munitions via Tampico Today, how ever, he called a halt.
 Reports of increasing friction between the two constitutionalist leaders reached here today from various sources. General Villa sent to persons here synopsis of the reasons why he is displeased with Carranzas attitude. He sets forth thai he will insist on carrying out the agree ment recently reached at Torreon when the breach tentatively was adjusted Vil- las demands. in brief. are

CORRESPONDENTS
 ON BELGIAN FRONT

Brussels, August 12.-(N1a Paris, 12:05 D. m. m.)--On the report that oper- ations on an extensive scale were im-
 minent, a correspondent, by permis- sion of the war department, made a trip along 20 miles of the Belgian front, visiting the extreme advance and talk |. ing with officers and men. |f The Belgians are on the. alert as inn |k kportant bodies of German cavalry are passing through the country above Iiege. proceeding in the direction of Tongres and St. Trond.
 The impression of the correspondent is that no heavy fighting is likely in Belgian Limburg, where the Germans have little or no infantry By the op- position offered by the Belgian troops at Liege, the Germans lost precious time which was profitably employed by the French and British in concentrat- ing masses at convenient points. The allied forces have been so dis posed as to be supported by fortified positions at many chief points, but lit- file or nothing has been done around Brussels and it is thought the city Is being used as bait to attract the Germans.
 The Belgian people are anxious re- pa..ding Brussels as the German cav airy is carving raids nearer and near or to the capital, but such considera- tions are not likely to have any eff feet on the decisions of the general staff.
 If is certain vast preparations have heen made by the allies, now spread out for battle, and they are likely to move quickly when the hour 10 strike comes.

Westbrook is a lively city, six miles
inland from Portland. Although young
as city, has ample excuse for cele-
brating, as it became an individual
municipality 100 years ago, when 1t
was set off from old Falmouth and in
corporated under the name of Stroud
water. This name didn't suit very
well and only a few months later it
was changed to Westbrook, in honor
of Col. Thomas Westbrook, who dis
of Maine now has at its disposal 81,
tinguished himself in the Indian wars.
Deering was taken from Westbrook
in 1871 and is now a part of Portland.
Two railroad lines pass through the
city, originally the Portland & Roch
ester and the Portland & Ogdensburg
now the Boston & Maine and the
mountain division of the Maine Cen
trail. The city is made up of two
villages, Westbrook and Cumberland
Mills, the former once known as Sac
carappa.
Westbrook now has S2S1 people, a
steady gain in population since it was
incorporated. 1t has a number of large
industries, including a big paper mill,
the warp mills and many smaller in
dustries. 1t is busy, prosperous city
with many comfortable homes, a large
church-going population and has been
the home of many who have been ia
nous in Maine history. Plans are al
ready under consideration for the pro-
per observance of the centennial.
