Mexico City Sept. 24.-Efforts are
being made here to patch up the break
between Carranza and Villa it was
announced today. Efforts were made
10 conceal the break but news of it
leaked out in certain circles, causing
sensation among military men. 1t
was regarded as most serious.
General Pablo Gonzales, chief of the
army of the east, has telegraphed Vii
la an appeal which gives eight rea-
sons why Villa should reconsider his
action and remain friendly to Car
rama.
These reasons, summarized, are:
"First-A breach now would bring
on the common enemy, who is the
foreigner.
"Second-The ideals of the revolu-
ton now are almost accomplished.
@Third-To retard the peace move
ment because of personal questions
would nullify the good already accom-
plished.
Fourth Your prestige would suf-
fer in public opinion at home and
abroad and your acts become COM
pared with those of Pascual Orozco,
whose treason obstructed the labor of
rehabilitation during previous revolu-
tions.
"Fifth-You would bring sorrow to
the nation.
sixth Gonzales requests Villa not
to constitute himself Judge.
"Seventh-Gonzales suggests that if
Villas action is inspired by elevation
to power of persons whom Villa op-
poses, a settlement probably can be
arranged, if Villa will present the
grounds Ct his objection"
Gonzales then adds:
Eighth believe in grand nation
al problems, not in personalities and
| believe there is yet time for the
country to encounter in you true
factor of benefit, not an element o
discord. I appeal to your patriotism
by asking you to remember that thu
entire constitutionalist army has beel
undivisable and ever ready to sustain
the nations honor"

IRONS will be curtailed by the lack oi

before the European grain fields yield
their normal production. The labor

drafted into industrial occupations to
repair the vast waste Of manufactured
products wrought by war.
Thus there is new incentive added
to the normally growing demand for
farm products, as more and more of
1he available land is utilized and the
proportion of industrial population
increases. The mortgages will now
be paid off faster than ever, farm life
will become pleasanter through pros

Thousands of feet of moving pic

rope have arrived in New York, but
public audiences will ever seen them.
S. Lubin of Philadelphia, one of the
important figures in the motion pic
ture business, who is at the Astor ho-
tel, said yesterday that to show any
of the films received would be to
incite riots. He also told of the ar
mored cabinet in which photograph
ers have taken chances with their
own lives in many places where the
rifle bullets and shrapnel still were
flying.
"The pictures are all too horrible" I"
he said. "They show for the most
part mere heaps of slain men and
horses, in many cases revealing fight
full wounds and Disagreement and
broken cannon. Even where there is
battle action it is too distant and in
distinct to be valuable. If any of
these films were shown the uniforms
of the slain might, and probably
would, start expressions of sympathy
or applause among audiences of ig-
norant persons and rows would certain

are too shocking for exhibition.
Getting pictures of actual fighting
was practically impossible. Some
times the cameras, fitted with electric
batteries, were placed in trees and

age from villa disavowing Carranzas
authority as first chief.
At the constitutionalist agency here
there were intimations that Carranza
might send a peace commission to
confer with Villa.
Nothing short of postponement OF
the national convention and system
of representation satisfactory to Villa,
IL is believed, will induce the northern
general to change his course. Already
he has refused to send delegates and
officials would not be surprised if Ia
pata and villa joined forces against
Carranza. Together they would have
about 10000 to 10000 men.
Carranza indicated to American Of
flcials that irrespective of the Zapata
and Villa factions, a large part of the
ccnstitutionalist forces would be repre-
sented Official reports indicate that
the convention would be loyal to Car
rama if the system of representation
did not change.
The gravity of the situation was in
dlcated today when Jules Jusserand
the Freich ambassador, called on Rob
ert Lansing, acting secretary of state
to learn details of the Carranza-Villa

bassies and legations here was that

BRITISH DENY HAVING
HUAT WOUNDED men
| EXPLANATION OF HELGolAND
ACTIONS ISSUED BY THE
ADM RALTY

London, sept 24.-The British ad-
miralty has issued formal reply to
the statement given publicity by the
German minister at Copenhagen to the
effect that British officers fired on
drowning German sailors after the
naval engagement of Helgoland, and
that a British shell was thrown into
boat containing German survivors
of this fight.
The admiralty admits the charge
that the shell was thrown, but ex-
plains the circumstances as follows:
every effort was made to save life
until German cruiser of the Stettin
class appeared on the scene and open
ed a heavy fire on the British des-
troyers and their small boats. The
destroyers were forced to retire in or
der to avoid destruction. The Go
shawk removed her men from her
boat, leaving it to German prisoners,
nearly all of whom were wounded. 1t
is to be regretted that bluejacket
on the forecastle of the Goshawk, ex-
asperated at the inhuman conduct of
the German cruiser, threw a projec-
tile, which could not possibly under
the circumstances have exploded, in
to this small boat as 1t drifted past
his ship.
This, no doubt, is the incident re-
ferred to by the German minister at
| Copenhagen"
Dealing with the rescue by the Brit
ish submarine E-U of the occupants
of two boats which the destroyer De-
fender had been obliged to abandon,
under heavy fire, the admiralty says:
after covering the retreat of the
destroyer, the submarine returned to
the boats and removed the British
officer and men and three Germans
The submarine might well have TAX
en- another German officer and six un.
wounded men prisoners, but as. the
two boats contained 1S very Badly
wounded Germans, he humanely left
the German officer and the six men
who were not hurt to care for them
and navigate the boats.
Before leaving, the submarine saw
that the boats were provided with wa
ter and victuals and compass, and
it gave the German officer their lpo
sltion and the course to Helgoland.
"The officers and men of the des
troyer Defender stripped themselves
of everything but their trousers, tear
ing up their clothes to serve as band
ages for the wounded Germans"
Regarding the allegations that Ger
mans fired at German sailors who
ere in the water, the admiralty say:
there are many British naval officers
and men who actually saw officers o
the German cruisers Mains and Koe
nigen Louise fire at their own men IL
the water, presumably because the,
} thought the sailors were prematurely
, deserting their posts.
, There are many men in our hos
pitals," the admiralty continues
"whose wounds testify to the accur
acy of the German officers fire. Ou
