is VIEW EXPERTS TAKE
Berlin Reports Progress for Pro-
gram; Paris Says New Efforts
Have Failed.
YPREs SUFFERS FROM FIRE
Town Hall and Central Market Said
to Have Been Destroyed by
Heavy Artillery Of the
Germans.

LONDON, November e, 1
p.m.-The fighting in Belgium,
which has been slow for several
days on account of the weather,
has broken out with renewed
ferocity at Ypres, with the artil-
lery playing the main part.
Military experts think this may
be the prelude to another German
attempt to pierce the line, as in
the past onslaughts by German
infantry have been preceded by
heavy artillery attacks.
Assaults at Two Points.
At two points in the battle line ex-
tending across France and Belgium the
Germans today were making deter
mined assaults on positions held by the
allies.
Today's French statement said that
at Ypres, Belgium, the point believed
to have been selected for new Ger
man attempt to force way through to
the English channel. the artillery fire
yesterday was violent and that many
buildings were set on fire.
Fighting Is every Hot"
| In the region of the Argonne forest
well on toward the eastern end of the
line where the Germans are centering
another severe attack, the fighting yes
terday was described as very hot"
and it is said that the German on
slaughts were repulsed. Rheims and
Soissons also were under bombardment,
with what effect is not disclosed.
The German official statement speaks
of the severe fighting at Ypres, and
also says that British squadron's at
tempt to lombard Nieuport was repulsed
twice. In the Argonne region, it is
said, the Germans are gaining ground
slowly.
Destruction at Ypres.
The renewed efforts of the Germans
in the west, Notwithstanding the effects
of the cold, wet weather, which was
said to make fighting in the lowlands
almost an impossibility. attracted re-
newed attention to the western field
of battle.
Violent bombardments have destroyed
the town hall and the central market
lat Ypres, according to official news
reaching here from Paris.
The theory that the Germans have re-
newed their attempts to break the CEN
ter, held by the English, of the allied
line blocking their way to the east
finds some confirmation in the renewed
reports that the Germans are bringing
up heavy reinforcements through Bel
gium.
Rushing Naval Construction.
From Germany there come reports Of
feverish activity in the construction of
warships as well as in the manufac-
ture of Zeppelin airships. The opinion
prevails that Germany is not able to
compete with Great Britain in the con-
struction of battleships. Consequently.
she is devoting greater energy to the
building of an air fleet. Naval con-
struction takes relatively second place.
The furry caused by the attack of
British aviators on the Zeppelin head
quarters at Friedrichshafen has not yet
subsided, and the amount of comment
on this incident appearing in both the
German and the English press seems
to be out of all proportion to the real
damage inflicted.

U. S. TO ACT IF PRIVATE PARKS
WAS TORTURED AND KILLED


Washington, May 13.-Stirred to
action by continued reports that Pri-
Vate. Parks was tortured and eXecut-
ed by Mexican federals, both the war
and state departments today took
steps to ascertain the truth.
Secretary Garrison instructed Gen.
Funston to get information from Gen.
Mas regarding the orderly's fate.
simultaneously the state department
asked the Brazilian minister at Mex
leo City to obtain similar information
from HueTta.
General Funston believes Parks
has been executed. Secretary Carl
son, however, today wished to give
the benefit of the doubt to the Mexi-
can federal forces. If the federals
had merely jailed Parks the war de-
partment would not have regarded it
as extraordinary. They hold Fun
ston would do likewise if a Mexican
soldier rode into the American lines.
Secretary Garrison made it very
clear today that drastic steps will be
taken if the reports of Parks torture
and death are confirmed.
eff polite, decent measures fail"
he said, then we will take the next
step. If he was tortured, it was an
act of baTbaTism, whether war was
on or not. We do not want to make
any missteps in a delicate situation.
We do not want to infiame the coun-
try. ...
Consequently in all we have done
thus far is is to ask information, for
we feel that the initial responsibility
lies with the private for deserving his
command. Of course, we feel that
he must have been insane, but we
have no proof of the reason for his
departure"

Vera Cruz, Mex, May 13.-United
States Consul William w. Canada
received a message from General
Huerta today, stating ne had releas-
ed A. j. Sutton, photographer Of the
Washington Post, who was arrested
in the capital last week with other
American correspondents subse-
qUently freed.
Canada and Gen. Funston have re-
ceived orders from Secretary Bryan
to discourage American correspond
ents who wish to go to the capital.
Washington, May 13.-The U. S.
has no intention of retaining posses
sion of Lobos Island. The navy de-
paTtment, however, insists that it
cannot surrender the island, as the
Mexicans will not agree to keep the
light burning. That is the last word
sent to Huerta through the A. B. G.
mediators. The dictator himself will
have to decide whether this eXplana-
ton is sufficient or whether he will
withdraw from participation in the
mediation discussions.
According to present plans, the me-
diators will start for Canada tomoT-
row night. The Mexican ENJOYS are
expected to reach Niagara Falls Sat
urday but there will be no formal
communications until Monday.
