S|LL|MAN TO HELP
SECURE HARMONY
Leaves Tonight for Mexico City
to Try to Bring About
Peace.

WASHINGTON, Oct. s.--Steps to
be taken in aiding the Mexican fac
ton to restore harmony and set up
new provisional government were out
lined by President Wilson today to
Consul John r.. Silliman, who leaves
tonight for Mexico City. The consul,
who has been acting as the Presi-
dents personal representative at the
Mexican capital, was told again that
the United States government has no
intention of championing the cause
of either Carranza or Villa, and will
use it's influence only toward bring
ing about an agreement that will pre-
vent further disorder and bloodshed.
Officials here are confident that be-
fore Mr.. Silliman reaches Mexico City
a start toward establishing new
government acceptable to all factions
will have been made at the Aguas
Calientes conference. which opens
Saturday.
In the meantime the question of
formally recognizing any government
in Mexico will not be considered and
the withdrawal OF the American gar
rison at Vera Cruz will be further
postponed.

FIGHT FROM NOYON
TOBELG|AN BORDER
London Claims Attempt to
Break AngIo-French Move
ment Was Error.
Rx the AsaecIated Press.

LONDON, Oct. 8 (S:05 A. M.).-The
correspondent of the Times in Paris,
commenting on the battle in the
north of France, says;
After twenty-six days, the formid-
able battle of the Aisne still con-
tinues without having given any def
mite result. This part of the immense
front now stretches from the neigh
borhood of Noyon toward Lassigny
up to the Belgian frontier, formed in
part by the river Lys.
"The enemy, feeling menaced by
the movement of our armies, has con-
centrated in Belgium, as ne did in
Champagne, all the forces not ac-
tually occupied In guarding the line
of communication while he attempts
to contain the Belgian army in the
entrenched camp at Antwerp In order
70 prevent it from assisting the allies
on the Lys and the upper Scheldt,
"He has made a vigorous effort to
break the enveloping movement of
the Anglo French army in the region
of Lille, and has made the tactical
error of attacking violently the
French left wing before effecting the
fall Of Antwerp.
1.-THE possible consequences of this
dangerous proceeding is accumulated
by the dispatch of the best army
corps Germany possesses against the
Allies. The German effort was tena-
cious and delivered with desperation,
and the already tormented north Of
France was again the scene of san
culinary encounters which, by their
vigor and vastness, will live in his
tory"

CASTRO ORDERED
AMERICAN SLAIN
Gen. Gomez, Huerta Refugee,
at New Orleans, Tells How
BurweN Was Executed.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. S.--General
Perez Castro, since reported captured
by Carranza troops and shot, ordered
the execution Of Weston Burwell, an
American, last April, according to a
statement made last night by Quirole
y Gomez, one of the six Huerta gem
erals who fled here from Vera Cruz
upon the announcement that the
Americans intended to evacuate that
port. General Morelos Zaragoza, at
that time military governor of the
State of Tamaulipas, and commander
of the Federal forces in Tampico,
Gomez declared. was asked by the
American consul at Tampico to in
vestigate Burwelrs disappearance.
"Zaragoza told me-" said General
Gomez" that General Perez Castro
ordered Burwell's execution because
he had found proof that Burwell was
trying to buy mules to take to Tux
pam and Tampico for the American
artillery. We thought then that the
Americans had started a general In
vasion of Mexico"
Young Burwell. with a. Mexican
companion, was captured near Ozual-
uafna, about forty miles south of
Tampico, on April 90, the day after
the Americans had Captured Vera
Cruz. Burwell and his companion
were taken to Ozualuama and later
to Tantoyuca, where General Perez
Castro had his headquarters. 1t is
claimed that the young American was
tortured for several days and then
executed

CAR WITHDREW
ARMY TO BATTLE
OUT IN THE OPEN
Found Austro- German Army
Too Strongly Entrenched
Along Donajec River.
BY the Unlted Press.

PETROGRAD. Oct. S.--An official
explanation of the withdrawal of the
Russians in Galicia from the line
of the river Donajec was issued to-
day. 1t was stated that the COM
bfned Austro-German army occupied
q very strongly entrenched line ex-
tending from Kielce, in Russian Pol
and. south through Sorgucin, Tarnow
to Neu Sandie.
The Russian advance guard felt
out this position and discovered that
1t was so strong that to take 1t by
frontal assaults would result in
frjghtful losses to the attacking army.
In consequence, the Russians with
drew in order to force the Austrians
to complete battle In the open
country.
The ruse was successful, 1t is
stated, and a new battle Is now in
progress along lines far more favor
able to the Russians. The fighting
is declared to be particularly severe
in the vicinity of the vistula river,
just to the north of Sorgucin.
Meanwhile the bombardment of
Przemysl by the heavy Russian ar
tillery continues. Great breaches are
apparent in the walls of the fortifl-
cations, while the Russian airmen
VINO have flown over the city report
that many houses have been de-
stroyed by fire and that they saw
numerous dead lying unburied in the
streets.
The Austrian garrison attempted
sortie on Tuesday night, but the
aerial scouts had reported that troops
were being massed for that purpose
and that the Russians were in readi-
ness. They annihilated the frontier
communications by fire from guns
that had been masked on both sides
of the southern gate through which
the garrison tried to emerge.
The fighting continues with the ut
most violence on the east Prussian
frontier, where the Germans occupy
strong positions in the Tcherneganja
region. They have uncovered here, II
is stated. a series Of hidden redoubts
which are a part of their first defense
line and which are on mounted guns.
The battle line is of great strategic
advantage because of the marshy ma
ture OF the land and the many small
lakes and streams that abound there.
In consequence, the Russian advance
is of necessity very slow. The en-
tire Russian lines are again being
heavily reinforced and additional
regiments of artillery are being
rushed to the front

CAVALRY SENT TO
:;
HELP RIGHT WING
SIGN OF VICTORY?
Characteristic of German Tao
tics, but Allies Deny They
Are Worn Out.
Bx One Associated Press.

LONDON, Oct. S.-The Germans
have again displayed their resource
fulness by simultaneously bringing
zap strong reinforcements to the as
sistance OF their much harried right
wing in northern France and by
pushing her attack on Antwerp, from
which place the Belgian government
is reported to have removed, going to
Ostend. 1a
The reinforcements which were sent
to the assistance of General Won
Kluck made a dramatic appearance
in the vicinity of Lille, preceded by
a large force of cavalry. This, which
is an evidence that the German ca
pacity for resistance on the allies
left is not yet exhausted, has the
tendency to extend the battle line
still further northwsrd toward the
Belgian frontier, where, according to
the French communication issued this
afternoon, a violent battle continues.
The opposing forces are extending
into the regions of Lens and Labasse
and are prolonged by masses of cav
airy which are in action up into the
Armentieres district, right on the
Belgian frontier.
The bringing up of cavalry at this
stage of the battle, which points to
a determination of the Germans to
bring about a speedy decision, is quite
in line with German tactics. The an
nual maneuvers in Germany regularly
end with charges Of squadrons of
cavalry against an enemy presumed
to be shaken, weary or dispirited.
However, British military experts
do not believe that the Germans will
find either of these conditions. In
fact, 1t is declared, both the French
and British cavalry have had con-
siderable rest and will doubtless be
pitted against that of the invaders.
Thus far the reports of the fighting
says the British official bureau, are
generally satisfactory and the
French army is fighting with great
dash and bravery"

Answers Are Given to Many
Queries Made by Anxious
Contestants.

AS always happens when the Eve
ming Star announces one of it's popular
puzzle picture contests, numerous
queries are received, asking for in
formation on various features of the
contest. These preliminary queries
are answered promptly by mail. But
SO many have asked us what is neces-
sary to do in order to become a con-
testant that we print this general
reply:
No preliminaries are necessary to
become contestant. Any permanent
resident Of New Jersey may contest
and all have an equal chance to share
in the rich cash awards. 1t Is not
even necessary to be a regular sub
scriber to the Evening Star. 1t is adj
visable, however, that you take the
paper regularly, for the reason that
there will be q great increased de-
mand and, by ordering your paper of
your dealer in advance, you will be
sure of your daily copy during the
contest.
The Evening Stars official book of
proverbs will be of inestimable help
In solving the sixty puzzle pictures.
All the answers to the pictures can be

erbs were selected from the book, and
1t will be used by the judges OF the
contest as the basis for deciding the
awards.
Again, there are no preliminaries
necessary. You simply take the pa

It's coupon and at the end of the con-
test send them all in, properly ar
ranged, with your version of the
correct answers. Nearly $1,000 in
cash will be awarded to one hundred
successful contestants in prizes,
ranging from $500 down to S.. Thus
it may be seen that 1t will well repay
every contestant to work conscien-
tiously and diligently to win one of
the rich awards.
