 No News From War Zone
 No news from the zone of war came today to either the war or navy depart ment. The navy department also WAS without a final report from Rear -Ad- miral Mayo on the outcome of his de mand that the Mexican federal com mander at Tampico salute the stars and stripes as t part of his apology for the affront to America in the arrest of United States marines. officials de clared. however, that no anxiety was felt over this matter as assurances had been given that proper reparation would be made.
 It was reported tonight that import ant dispatches had come to the state de- partment from Mexico City. Secretary Bryan said however. that he had noth- ing whatever to give out The Seere- tary commented on the absence of press reports from the Mexican capital. and remarked that apparently a rigid oen- sorship was being exercised He had nothing 10 say about the possible eaiise of this.
 No one Is predicting that any change of policy on the part of the United States government will follow MT. Llnd's report to the President, although 1t Is realized that the problems involved In Mexico have undergone radical changes since MT Lind went up from Vera Cruz to see the President at Pass Christian during the New Year holi- days.
 One of the results of the Torreon meeting is expected to be a reply to the state departments latest represen- tations, especially in the case of Span iards exiled from Torreon. Although Carranza has told the department that he Is not disposed to interfere. with Villas course towards the Spaniards there Is n frankly expressed expecta- ton that this stand may be modified.
 Should the two reebl leaders decide to pay no heed to Secretary Bryan's demand that the cases of all Spanards be settled on their individual merits the United States will be confronted with a problem of greatest gravity. since Spain has placed the safety of her subjects fin American hands infrep- resentations made by the Spanish for eign office. both through Ambassador Riano here and Ambassador Willard in l..lI

DUTCH REBELLION IN so. AFRICA
HOLDS DARK THREAT FOR BRITISH
HARMONY LAW IMPOSED

after the news of the rebellion had leak
ed out The meeting, which was compos-
ed entirely of Dutchspeaking Afrikand-
ers, condemned the conduct of Colonel
Maritz in the strongest terms. A tele-
gram was dispatched to Premier Botha
unreservedly Offering the services of the
Cape Dutch in any capacity desired.
Rebellion among the forces of the
northwest cape province has been brew
ing since the resignation of General Bey-
ers as commander-in- chief of the union
forces.
AS soon as the government realized
this situation. it sent Colonel Brits
to relieve Maritz of his command.
Colonel Brits then discovered that Ma
ritz was commanding German troops
as we'll as his own and that he had
German guns in his possession. Mar
itz, who had been given the German
rank of general, had arrested those
of his officers and men who were un-
willing to join the Germans and mad
sent them as prisoners of war to Ger
man Southwest Africa.
According to an official statement,
an agreement was drawn up between
AIaritz and the governor of German
Southwest Africa guaranteeing the in
dependence of the union as republic,
ceding Walfish Bay and other parts
of the union TO the Germans and UNI
dertaking that the Germans should in
wade the union only if Maritz asked
them to do SO.
Maritz boosted that he possessed
large supplies of guns, rifles, ammuni-
ton and money obtained from the
Germans and that he would overrun
the whole of South Africa.
In view of this state of affairs.
continued the official statement the
government is taking most drastic
steps TO quell this rebellion and punish
all rebels and traitors according to
their deserts"

London, $50 P. NJ, Oct. 13. The
rebellion of a section of the Dutch
element in South Africa. which broke
today with a suddenness of a bolt from
the blue is the first warning note
that has married the harmony in the
British empire since the outbreak OF
the war and it has momentarily di-
verted attention frcm the arenas near
the heart of the empire. That this ris-
ing was real and dangerous was suffi-
GENTLY proved by official dispatches
from Governor General Buxton to the
imperial government and by the dras-
tic step, General Louis Botha and his
colleagues have taken to stamp it out
by the imposition of martial law in
the whole union of South Africa.
The proclamation of martial law di-
rectly charges the widespread secret
propaganda of the Germans with be-
ing responsible for the seduction OF
this command, which was one of the
four armies sent in the field when
the union government undertook to re-
lieve the home government of the task
of dealing with the German colonies in
the continent of Africa.
It apparently is the belief of General
Botha's government that others besides
those under the immediate command of
Colonel MART may have been affected;
hence the conclusion of the whole do
minion in the order establishing martial
law.
Germanizing factors are said by British
authorities to have been at work for
years in the frontier districts and to have
even percolated into southeastern Trans
yaal and other Dutch districts.
kilograms from Cape Town declare,
however, that a majority OF the Dutch
remain absolutely loyal and that this
seems to be shown by resolutions drawn
up at an emergency meeting OF the South
African party summoned Immediately

Boston, Oct. 13.-The open season
for shooting upland game, which be-
gan yesterday. was today suspended
by order of Governor Walsh, who said
that the drouth and the sudden out

traordinary precautions taken by the

every public spirited citizen that the
damage arising from even the small
percentage of fires started by hunt
ers may be very considerable, not
alone in direct and actual monetary
losses, but indirectly in the far-reach-
ing and disastrous results through the
destruction of birds and by deterrent
effect upon labor and capital which
is now being put into the development
of the forest, woodland and orchard
properties by individuals and by the
