zAPATA IMPOSES
TAX ON MEX|CANS
Prefers this to Indiscriminate
Confiscati0n.
CARRANzA LEFT NO FUNDS
Good Order Being Maintained In Capt.
tai - Few Cases Of Violence.
Rumors OF Killing Of Span
iards Not Credited.

Washington. D. C.-Except for a
few isolated cases Of robbery and vio-
lence, which resulted in severe punish
ment to the offenders as soon as de-
tected, the Zapatista forces have main
tanned good order in Mexico City, ac-
cording to advices from the Brazilian
Minister to the State Department.
AS no mention was made by the
minister of any injury to Spanish sub
iects officials here do not credit the
rumors that several Spaniards were
killed, though kilograms of inquiry
have been dispatched to Mexico City
for definite information.
The Brazilian Minister declared in
his dispatches that the people of Mex
leo City were rapidly regaining con-
fidence and that the situation in the
city was being well handled. Tne
Zapata military commander has issued
a decree levying tax of one-half the
regular property tax, which, he says, is
needed to pay troops and the expenses
of police and government, because the
Carranza administration left the treas
ury empty. The Zapata commander in
his proclamation explained that the
method of raising money by taxation
was preferred to the indiscriminate
confiscations and levies which the Car
rama officials had practiced.
Nothing was known by the Brazilian
Minister at the time he filed his dis
patch, as to the time when General
Villa or his forces would arrive. Pre-
viously he telegraphed that agents of
Villa and the convention were work
Ing In perfect harmony with the Zapata
officials
Wireless reports from Tampico said
the situation outside of the city in the
oil fields was disturbed, as bandits be-
longing to no factions of the Mexican
controversy have apparently gotten
control of Panuco. While they have
looted many Mexican stores, they have
not injured Americans or their inter-
ests, so far as reported. The Ameri-
can Consul and naval authorities at
Tampico are arranging to care for any
refugees who may come into Tampico
from the Panuco oil district.

AMERICAN EXPORTS REVIVE.
October Trade Balance For Country
Is $57, 100000.

Washington, D. C-American ex-
port trade, crippled by the European
war, showed signs of revival during
October and the month ended with a
balance of trade in favor of the United
States of more than $57,000,000, as
shown by statistics just issued by the
Department of Commerce
There was an increase of more
than $39,O00,0O0 in October exports
over September, although the total
was almost $7s,OO0,0OO below October,
1918. Imports in October fell off more
than $1,000,000 from the September
trade, but were s4,100,000 more than
during October last year.
In the $195, ,4O4, $50 October exports,
foodstuffs, crude and manufactured,
and food animals formed the principal
items with total of $73,635, 900, an
increase of sS2,0O0,00O over October,
1913. Crude manufacturing materials
showed decrease.

WILSON TO THE
WARR|NG POWERS
His DisapprovaI of the Dropping
of Bombs.
ON THE UNFoRTIFIED CITIES
President Notified U. S. Represen-
tatives In Europe To Carefully
Convey His Views To
Warning Nations.

Washington, D. C.-President Will
son has communicated unoficially to
the diplomatic representatives Of the
United States in the belligerent coun-
tries of Europe his disapproval of at
tacks by bombs from air craft dropped
on unfortified cities occupied by non
combatants.
The President was careful not to
take the matter up officially, and did
not even make his communication
through the State Department but
personally addressed the American am
bassadors abroad. The President
took this course, it just became known,
nearly two months ago. The facts
came to light through the publication
of report that the President bad dis
cussed the matter with European diplo-
mats here. This, however, was de-
MED by some of the prominent diplo-
mats mentioned in connection with it,
including the German Ambassador.
Just how the American diplomats
abroad were to convey President Will
bull lCciiuS III IuO AhoIICA W ShO
foreign governments has not been dis
closed, as White House officials, de-
clined to discuss the subject.
1t is believed here, however, that
the President called attention to the
article in The Hague convention of
1907, to which all the principal bel
ligerents were signatory, which pro-
vides for notice of "a hours before
bombardment or atatck in order that
non-combatants may remove them
selves from the danger zone.
It is not believed that the Presi-
dent mentioned any specific violation,
but expressed his views on the general
subject of aerial attacks. Through
unofficial character of the communities
tion it was intended by the President
to bring about better understanding
about aerial warfare without actually
involving the American government in
the matter.
1t is supposed that the American
diplomats used their good Offices, con.
sequently, in personal way with the
belligerent governments, without per.
haps even mentioning the fact that
they were doing so at the request OF
the President, as such methods of OBJ
tanning a desired end are not unusual
in diplomacy.

Army's WeIl-BaIanced Machine Defeats

Philadelphia.-Th United States
Military Academy football team de-

score of 20 to in the annual service

ultimate outcome of the game was
never in doubt The Annapolis COM
bination was outplayed and outclassed
in every department and but for the
splendid fighting spirit of the Navy
in the face of certain defeat the score
would have been even larger.
Although the game lacked the close
ness and thrill that has featured Army
Navy battles of other years, it fur.
nished the splendid scenic picture
which distinguishes it from all other
games of the season and formed a
fitting climax upon which to sound

GERMANS BREAK THROUGH
TRAP PLANNED BY RUSSIA
development Not Expected, but Situation almost Un-
precedented, Official Petrograd Report States
KAISER MASSES HIS FORCES In BELGIUM

Petrograd, (via London).-A review
of the military operations in the last
week at Lodz, as given out semi-offi-
cially here, indicates that the Ger
man Army under Gen. Won Mackensen
has been cut in three parts.
The right wing is still struggling
fifteen miles west southwest OF Lodz
In an attempt to unite with the column
sent to its assistance from Wielun.
The centre is ten miles northeast by
north of Lodz, and is still engaged
in a desperate effort to cut its way
west to rejoin the left wing, which is
partially cut from the strongest posi-
tion on the Vistula. This army. the
review asserts, is moving back before
Russian onslaughts, but is stubbornly
disputing the Russian advance.
In this quarter the Russian advance
is from Gombin, fifty miles north OF
Lodz. 1t is estimated that the centres
Of the three parts of the German
force are at least twenty miles apart
and that the middle one is acting
entirely on its own initiative, being
completely isolated from the others.
1t is said that the main bodies OF
the German wing are maintaining
thin line of communications TO the
rear, extending in semi-circular shape
a distance of forty miles. Russian
experts declare this situation is almost
unprecedented in the history of war
fare. In the opinion of these experts
the operations will not result in the
complete surrounding of the Germans,
but they declare that the purpose OF
the German campaign against war
saw has been entirely frustrated.
The Germans are estimated to
have lost 100000 in dead alone since
the heavy fighting began ten days
back along the banks OF the BZura and
swung round to the present arena
near LODI.
In the last eight days the Russians
in Galicia have captured nearly 4O'-
600 Austrian prisoners, with guns,
maxims and stores.
From Berlin comes an official state
ment saying that the Russian advanc-
es near Lodz have been checked and
that the Germans have made success
full counter attacks. An unofficial re-
port from Thorn says that Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg has captured co.
600 Russians and $50 cannon and ma
chine guns.

GREATEST WHEAT
AREA IN HISTORY
Record Harvestin 1915DemaDd.
cd BY War.
BELLIGERENTs ARE BUSY
Women and Children Are Sowing Seed
For the Spring Crop So That
There Will Be Plenty OF
the Food Grain.

Washington, d. C.-The greatest
wheat area in the worlds history Will
be planted for the 1915 harvest as
result of the European war, in the
opinion of Charles M. Daugherty.
statistical expert of the Department of
Agriculture. In a report just made
public Mr.. Daugherty says:
"As a result of the war in Europe.
worldwide tendency exists to in
crease the acreage Of wheat. Doubt
less the most extensive area in the
history of the world will be seeded
during the present autumn and coming
spring. A prospective heavy demand
for this important food grain by the
importing countries of Western Eu-
rope is likely, if seeding conditions
favor, to give extraordinary stimulus
to sowings of both winter and spring
varieties In the two great exporting
countries of North America and to
those sowings now being finished un-
der auspicious circumstances in Brit
ish India.
"In the Southern Hemisphere seed
ing was completed before the war be.
gan and the effect of present economic
conditions upon extension of areas
there will be manifest only In the
spring and summer of 1915.
"In Europe, where ordinarily over
half the worlds wheat is produced
the indications are that all available
labor resources, in both neutral and
contending nations, will be utilized to
the utmost for getting in full or in
creased areas In Italy, whose wheat
acreage is ordinarily second in extent
to that of no state in Europe, except
ing Russia, 100000 acres, it is said
will be added to the crop.
"In the contending countries,
extraordinary efforts are being exerted
in autumn seeding. The services of
women and children, men exempt
from military services, refugees,
prisoners of war and soldiers tenn
porarily relieved from the ranks are
being utilized in the fields as occa-
sions permit and require. Because Of
strained labor conditions and of the
occupation of certain territory during
seeding time by contending troops
some local contractions of area seem
inevitable. The reduction, however, is
likely to be compensated by increased
sowings in neutral nations.
"In Western Europe, particularly in
England and France, the autumn SOW
ings of wheat are somewhat in arrears,
but as large part of these countries
is favored with mild climate. making
sowing operations possible at times
during the entire winter, little anxiety
is expressed over the present delay.
Reports from Germany and other counl
tries of Central Europe indicate that
seeding operations have been carried
on with activity"

FRENCH BULLETIN.

PARlS.-The French War Office
gave out an official announcement
which said:
The slackening of the artillery
fire OF the enemy was noted all
along the line. Two Infantry at
tacks directed against the heads
OF bridges which we had thrown
down on the right bank of the
User, to the south of Dixmude,
were easily repulsed.
In the Argonne some infantry
attacks resulted in the loss and
then the recapture of certain
trenches. The men engaged in
this fighting never exceeded a bat
talon. The ground lost and then
retaken was never more than
twenty-five yards.
Along the heights of the Meuse
and in the Vosges there is nothing
to report.
