Badger Extends Lines.

Washington, April 25-Admiral Badger tonight reported from Vera Cruz that he was extending his lines of bluejackets and marines further beyond the city. The battalion of marines from the South Carolina are well entrenched two and half miles west of the city.
 No contact had been had with the Mexican forces and none was ex- pected in the immediate future. Admiral Badgers telegram, dated D. m. Saturday, said:
 Last nights firing was desultory and continued for considerable pc riod. One private slightly wounded in forearm. Name not yet ascer- tained. Will be reported Fletcher continuing efforts to have influential citizens unite and arrange for con- duct of municipal affairs by people themselves. Quite certain that for mer officials will not resume office under present conditions but possibly citizens committee can be formed to influence city's affairs along lines of law and order and create confidence among inhabitants. Meeting of this kind will be held this afternoon.
 Question of food and water still give anxiety but up to present time no actual distress. Seems probable, however, that ultimately government will have to ration poorer classes of inhabitants.

AFTER CONFERENCE PROPOSES TO INFORM WILSON THEY
 ARE IN FAVOR OF WAR.
PEACE TALK DIFFERS THEM
From Visiting the President Today, but They Have Little Hope of the Success of the Latin-American Peace Negotiations.

Washington. April 25.-Though the Mexican crisis has been under sup pression in congress for several days while the president and his cabinet executed plans for reprisals against the defiance of General Huerta, there is an impelling undercurrent of feel ing in both senate and house for a declaration of war, which was temper ed somewhat tonight by the accept ance of offers of mediation from Ar gentina, Brazil and Chile.
 Leaders in congress for several days had been discussing informally the necessity for an unequivocal dec laration of war, for a sweeping cam. paign in Mexico and for the ultimate establishment by force of American arms of peace and constitutional gov ernment in Mexico. No swell from the undercurrent reached the surface today, however, but congressman in both houses had predicted a storm would break Monday or soon after American troops reached Vera Cruz to support the naval forces there. Members who were most restive over the situation believed tonight after learning of the intermediation pro- posals that no further aggressive ac- tion toward Mexico should be forced until it should become apparent that the good offices of the South Ameri- can nations to compose the situation would fail.
 Although there was evidence in the senate of the feeling of dissatisfaction with present conditions, the most re- markable evidence of unrest was giv- en in the house. During a day deyot- ed under the surface to a discussion of Mexico, most of the leaders were in conference and sentiment developed was strongly in favor of war At the conference more than dozen men prominent on the demo- cratic side participated. Speaker Clark, Majority Leader Underwood, Chairman Flood of the foreign re,a. tions committee; and Chairman Hay of the military committee figured in all of them.
 The discussion was so outspoken that there was talk for a time of the appointment of a committee to consist of Speaker Clark and Mir. Underwood which should call on President Will son and inform him that the senti- ment of the house was for war. Developments of the day, however interfered with this plan and the con ferences ended without definite con | clusion.
 | Out of the many conferences the attitude of the house leaders became exceedingly clear They said that war should be declared that the United States should send the army into Mexico and "go through with what it has started'; that in this way only can peace be established on sound and permanent basis.
 Although the news of proffered me- diation put a new aspect on the situ-
 ation. it was the general understand Ing that house leaders expect to make their representations to the president as soon as the army has been con ceatrated at Vera Cruz.
 Tn the senate there was no such
 concerted action as evident in the house, but there was evidence that the bond of silence which many senators have observed for months will be bro
 ken Monday and that war talk VIII flourish again.

Such in brief was the attack of Pres

reformers are trying to control new

NEW YORK, Oct. l4.-Nl a. mO-
Gormany's campaign In Poland, which "a
now beginning to develop It's offensive
strength has been conducted in its early
stage with great skill. II seems now owl
dent that the advance on Warsaw was
skillfully masked by the recent opera
tions, 100 20 100 miles further north In
the Nicmcn River district The Russians
apparently mistool the German advance
toward the Niemen as the enemy's main
objective.
Even the ability Of the second and
third class Russian fortresses IN North
Poland 60 withstand the German attacks
while the powerful French and Belgian
Notifications were falling, did not open
the eyes of the Russian general staff
The TACT Is now seen that the successful
resistance of these Polish forts was due
20 the meagre German forces sent against
them. While the Russians were hurrying
overwhelming armies across the Niemen
and were triumphantly forcing the Ger
mans to retire toward East Prussia, the
real German offensive was developing at
Warsaw
The Germans appear TO have succeeded
IN landing armies of great strength
without molestation across the $50
miles separating their frontier from the
Nistula. on which river the entrenchcd
camp OF Warsaw is located. What part
of the attention of the Russian general
star wasn't centered on the successful
Niemen operations was occupied with
the advance through Galicia.
The Russians were moving forward in
the north and south with supreme optim-
ism. as their official reports obviously
showed they were 70 be in Berlin by
Christmas, the Germans from East
Prussia and the Austrians in Galeia
were unable TO stand against them.
Then, suddenly, between the victorious
northern and southern Russian armies,
the German general staff launched ita
counter offensive and the Russians have
now realized the danger into which their
optimism has LED them.
They have had TO withdraw their ad.
vance forces marching on Cracow and
the other operations IN East Prussia
have become OF MINOR importance. A now
battle front running south from the
Warsaw district is being forced upon
them. presumably OF Germany's own
choosing The over-conhdence that
brought disaster TO Russia's first oifel-
sive IN East Prussia early in the war
seems now TO be ohliterating a large part
of the Galician success. This Slav vice
of the Russo-Japanese war, apparently
has not been cast out.

"THE THINGS THAT COUNTY


1.-THE Things That Count" William
A. Brady's splendid production, open
cd an engagement at The Playhouse
last night and will continue this AZ
ternoon and evening. The play is
undoubtedly one Of the cleanest and
most wholesome dramas placed on
the stage in a long time. 1t is a sim
pie, touching, pure story dramatical-
ly told and all the more interesting
because It is one Of those things
which often occur in real life. The
play is too we'll known to Whining
tonians to need description. for it
was in Wilmington that it was pro-
duced before it was taken to New
York for a long run. The play is in
the hands Of a thoroughly capable
company. Emily Galloway as Beulah
Randolph, the young mother who,
widowed, is compelled to make her
own living and that of her child and
Is too proud TO accept assistance from
her dead husbands rich parents,
gives an excellent presentation of
that part. She is at all times natural.
Corliss Giles as DR.. Stewart Marshall,
the friend Of the dead husband, as
we'll as of his parents and the widow,
plays It as a strong manly part, just
as It should be, and as physician and
lover he is acceptable.
Florine Arnold plays Mrs. Henna
berry splendid,y. II is not an easy part
which the author has drawn of Mrs
HennabeIry, for while he has made he
most selfish old woman in some re
spects, he has made her a most kind
hearted old body in others. 1t is mos
exceptionally played at all times b!
Miss Arnold.
