Observation-Disclosures, Nov. %, has
been fixed as the date for the Ameri-
csn evacuation of Vera Cruz.
Secretary Bryan issued this an
nouncement Friday:
Both General Carranza and the
convention at Aguascalentes having
given the assurances and guarantees
we requested. it is the purpose Of the
administration to withdraw the troops
of the United States from Vera Cruz
on Monday, the $50 OF November
"All the persons there for whose
personal safety this government has
made itself responsible have left the
city. The priests and nuns who had
taken refuge there and for whose safe
ty fears were entertained are now on
their way to this country"
This statement was given out after
long conference between Mr.. Bryan
and President Wilson. The general
understanding has been that the
evacuation might be delayed indefi-
nitely pending reports on the align
ment of the various Mexican chiefs in
the latest civil war now in progress.
1t has been assumed that as the
United States throughout the Mexican
difficulties has dealt with the de
facto authorities actually In control of
territory involved, the city would be
turned over to an agent OF General
Carrauza, though this is not certain.

War and Life Insurance.

York company has $4OO,OOO.OOO of in

Summary of News to Date.

The latest official British account
of the fighting in West Flanders tells
of almost continuous bombardments,
small movements forward and then
perhaps back again, the desperate at
tempts of the Germans to pierce the
British lines, the Smelling of Ypres,
the deadly effect of British and
French guns, the bravery of the Ger
man youths, and pays tribute to the
Prussian war machine, which it says
has attained the most remarkable re-
suits"
But with all this terrific fighting
neither side has been able TO gain any
material advantage. Rains have swept
the trenches, snow has fallen and the
men are suffering hardshiDs that
would seem almost uncomfortable.
Likewise in the eastern arena the
troops now have wintry conditions
with which to contend, but the frost
is helping the Muscovite forces to
move more rapidly on the last Prus-
sian frontier. The morasses and the
soft roads have been frozen over,
making easier the movement of men,
artillery and transport.
The British say that in two actions
against the Turks at Fac in the Per
sian Gulf, they have severely defeat
ed the Ottomans. The Turks also
have lost $50 men and two guns in
the bombardment of the forts in the
Dardanelles by the warships of the
allies.
The Germans report the operations
in Flanders are progressing slowly,
but in the Argonne district they have
achieved further important successes.
In Poland the battle continues with
out definite results, although Ger
many reports the capture of $4,000
prisoners and many guns.
The British parliament unanimous
ly has voted an additional credit Of
SLIPS, 100000 for the war and also
another million soldiers. Premier AS
quith announced that the war is cost
ing Great Britain close to $5,000,Oo0
daily.
Soldiers fighting in the trenches
knee deep in water and swept by driy-
ing rains is the story which still
comes out of West Flanders. Not
withstanding the terrible conditions of
the battlefield the German troops and
the allied forces still hammer at each
other with shot and shell, but +. with
subdued severity.
British cruisers thought to be the

In Poland the Austrians are estab-

the Galician frontier the Russians are
advancing toward the passes over the
Carpathians.
The German emperor, whose move
ment of late have, so far as the vari-
GUS reports were concerned, been
somewhat elusive, appeared on Friday
at holman, forty miles southwest OF
Strassburg. according to a dispatch
from Basel, Switzerland. IL was to

since then he has spent his time al

theaters.

Observation-Disclosures in Mexico after
weeks of dissension among the gen
erals of the victorious constitutional
list army at last seemed in sight, ac-
cOrding to messages received by the
United States government from its
agents in the southern republic Tues
day. Soon after American Consul
Silliman telegraphed from Mexico
City early in the day that hostlitics
between the forces of the convention
and those loyal to Carranza had
ceased, came a message from Leon
CanOva, special agent OF the Amcri-
can government a. AguaScalientes
stating that General Carranza had
telegraphed his intention Of signing.
The message said:
Everything settled satisfactorily.
General Carranza has telegraphed
General Gutierrez that he will retire"
Secretary Bryan made the following
announcement:
"a dispatch from American Consul
SillimGn dated Monday afternoon in
Mexico city was received by the state
department tonight. 1t reports nego-
tiations as still pending. We do not
know, therefore, whether this con
flicts with the report We received
from Aguascalientes or whether Ca
nova, who is there, has later informa-
ton"
1t was suggested in some quarters
that Eulalio Gutierrez, the new pro-
visional president, might name Villa
to a foreign military mission, perhaps
as an observer in the European war.
CarranZa, it is believed, may visit the
United States. During the day the
White House made public a message
received by President Wilson from
Provisional President Gutierrez.
Two communications from Gutter
rez were laid before President Wilson.
The formal notification of his assump-
ton of office added that he soon
would set up his government in Mex
leo City and seek to bring about
peace. The other, guaranteeing pro-
lection for foreigners, made no re-
quest for recognition by the United
States. Gutierrez described in some
detail the Aguascalientes convention
and told how he came to be chosen
as provisional president.

Tokio.-The German cruiser EN-

Sydney, has been beached on one of
the CocOs ISLANDS. According to re-
ports reaching Toxic. the captain and
most of the crew of the Emden were

Previous to the engagement with
the Sydney, the Emden cut the Brit
ish cable connecting the Cocos islands
with the outside world.
The Sydney sighted the Emden
Tuesday morning. With superior
speed, she at once closed in and gave

at the end of which the Emden, burn
