GOVERNMENT RECEIPTS
DROP DURING OCTOBER

Washington, Nov. 4.-Government
receipts from ordinary sources were
nearly S20,OOO,OOO less during October
than for October last year. Customs
receipts were off about S14,00O,0O0 and
internal revenue nearly s6,0O0,0OO.
The figures were in contrast with tho
showing for September, when total
receipts fell off only about S4.000.0O0,
with customs below the same month in
1913 about S9,50O.00O and internal rev.
enue receipts increased about $4,000
600.
The effect of the new revenue war
tax will not noticeably swell the treas
ury's total for several weeks to come.
The net balance in the general fund
a. the close of the month was S91 ,639,-
1853. about $54.OOO.OOO less than on
June 80. and the total cash assets
were put at 1885, 21.137. compared
with s2,OO5, OO5,s31 on June 30.

German. eombard Ypres.

I.ondon.-The Germans have been
violently bombarding Ypres In Elan.
ders. Scissors In the Alsne valley and
Rheims. while they have been making
attacks in force In the Argonne region.
The French claim that the assaults
in the last named region have been
repulsed. while the Germans, In direct
contradiction. say that they have been
gaining ground steadily.
ANY or all OF this activity may be-
intended to divert attention from the
quarter In which the supreme attack
IL TO be made. but the allies are sure
to discover soon where they must ex-
pect the next blow.
In order TO ward off the possibility
OF the Germans again trying To move
along the coast the British fleet has
been bombarding their positions from
tho sea.
Th. official communication issued
by the German army headquarters at
Berlin says;
Fighting continues at Nieuport and
at Yprcs a small British squadron
twice approached but was driven off
by our artillery The British naval
guns had no effect.
In the forest OF the Argonnc we

The text OF the official communica'
tion from Paris follows
Yesterday was marked BY u violent
artillery fire. The enemy directed his
attention particularly TO the town OF

the markets and a number Of houses

Vera Cruz.-The Mexican flag is
again flying over Vera Cruz. Brig.
Zen. Funston and his command of g.
900 infantrymen and marines, which
was landed here on April 80 last, got
under way Monday afternoon, and Gen.
Candido Aguilar's men assumed
charge of the city. The United
States transport Cristobal. bearing the
first contingent of the American brig.
ade, left the dock at $50 p. m., bound
for home. The evacuation of the city
was effected without any clash occur
Ing between the Americans and the
native army. The Mexicans marched
In on the heels of the departing troops
but no serious disturbance OF the city's
peace was registered during their en-.
trance.
United States Holds Customs Money.
Washington.-Anxiety for the safety
Of the French and British subjects, and
their interests, in Mexico City, brought
Sir Cecil Spring Rice. the British am.
bassador, and Jules Jusserand, the
French ambassador, to the State De-
partment to learn what the American
government knew of the situation in
the Mexican capital. Reports to the
State Department showed conditions
as having improved. Jusserand also
inquired what disposition had been
made OF the 100000 in customs du-
ties collected by the American forces
which evacuated Vera Cruz. He was
informed by Acting Secretary Lansing
Gen. Funston's forces and no decision
had been reached as to its disposl.
ton.
French bondholders have q lien on
practically all the customs duties at
Vera Cruz. One loan gave them 629o
OF the customs receipts and Huerta
negotiated n loan giving them the re-
naming $50. The latter transaction
has been declared invalid by the Car
rama government, and French bond
holders feared that II the customs
fund was given to Gen. Candido Ag-
uiihi WuO toOh posscssiou III the uoAhe
OF Carranza, the obligations would be
ignored p.
It is virtually certain that until a
government is recognized in Mexico
which has arranged for an adjustment
Of all financial difficulties OF the re-
public. the funds from Vera Cruz will
be kept by the United States.
The British legation wired that n
circular was being distributed an.
nouncing that on the evacuation by
the Carranza forces the villa and "a
pata troops would begin period OF
looting at certain hours.
Acting Secretary Lansing said that
the department had heard Of these
circulars and he was strongly inclined
to believe they were the work OF enc
mics OF both villa and Zapata. He
took this view because In response to
an inquiry made last Friday about the
rumors OF possible disorder when the
villa troops reached the capital. Gen.
villa, himself. issued general orders
stating that any soldier caught mo-
Testing women or stealing would be
summarily shot.

The advance of the Germans from
Thorn into Poland is being made in
great force The greatest German
strength is to be concentrated on this
line. Fighting Of the most desperate
character has been in progress ana
heavy losses have been suffered by
both sides.
1t is now race between theltus'
sian army invading East Prussia and
the German force striking at Poland.
1t is believed generally the kaiser eX
poets to relieve the pressure upon
East Prussia by striking n crushing
blow with his forces advancing along
the Nistula and from kalis2. A VIC
tory for the Russians about Soldau
would be followed by a quick rush
into East Prussia which would force
an abandonment of the determined Of

London.-The battle which Is being
fought in the region between the Wis
tula and Warta rivers in Poland APP
pears to have turned in favor of the
Russians. In fact special dispatch
from Petrograd to Paris says that tho
Russian army already has won a de-
cisive victory. Both the Russian and
the German official reports suggest
that General Won Hindcnburgs sec
ond thrust at Warsaw has been
checked.
Grand Duke Nicholas. commander in
chief OF the Russian forces. for two
days in succession has recorded par
tial successes in this great battle. and
last night the German general staff
says that the arrival Of Russian rein
forcements has postponed decision.
Grand Duke Nicholas and General Won
Hindenburg heretofore have been so
successful in their strategies that their
adherents look upon them as almost
unbeatable.
The German papers only Monday
morning were talking OF general
Russian retirement despite the fact
that the Russians have been advanc-
ing steadily in Galicia, have repulsed
the Austro-German attack before Cra-
COW. hold part OF the German terri
tory in East Prussia and were oppos-
ing General Won Hindenburg's advance
on Warsaw. It Is the same In Petro-
grad. All the correspondents declare
II is certain that Russian num6ers
must tell when the Germans have
reached the ground on which Grand
Duke Nicholas has chosen to give
them battle.
Petrograd is silent about the stra-
tegy OF the present campaign. which
does not seem to excite any greater
concern In the Russian capital than
did the previous German advance on
Warsaw. Berlin. on the other hand.
seems to regard the Polish operations
as decisive In the Russian campaign.
