LEAVE VERA CRUZ
UNITED STATES SOLDIERS AND
MARINES EvAcUATE THE
MEXICAN PORT.
FORCE WILL GO TO TEXAS
General Funston Has Not Received In
structions to Turn City Over to
Any Particular Faction-villa De-
lays Entering Capital.

Washington, Nov. 21-Brigadier
General Funston's infantry and ma
rines, numbering about six thousand
men, hauled down the Stars and
Stripes which have been flying over
Vera Cruz since last April and began
to evacuate the Mexican port, in ac-
cordance with instructions from Presi-
dent Wilson.
The five battleships at Vera Cruz
and Tampico and the string of vessels
on the west coast will remain indefi-
nitely
1t was just seven months ago that
the bluejackets and marines under
Rear Admiral Fletcher seized Vera
Cruz by order of the Washington gov
eminent as an act of reprisal in re-
taliation for affronts to the American
flag at Tampico, where boatload Of
American bluejackets were arrested.
General Huerta, who controlled the
forces at Tampico, had refused to COM
ply with the demand of Admiral Mayo
for the salute of 81 guns.
President Wilson is hopeful that the
evacuation of Vera Cruz will be an
enduring demonstration to Central and
South American countries Of the pol
Icy of the United States enunciated in
his Mobile speech year ago to seek
no territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT south OF
the Rio Grande.
In withdrawing from Mexican soil
the United States government has
taken pains that no faction shall be
recognized. General Funston has no
specific orders to give the possession
of Vera Cruz to General Aguilar or
any other chief.
The $1,000,000 or more in customs
duties will be held until a government
Is formally recognized by the United
States.
After General Funston has safely
landed his command at Texas City it
is probable that he will be assigned
to the command of the central depart
ment, with headquarters at Chicago.
Ell Paso, Tex, Nov. 23.-The occupa-
ton by Villa troops of Mexico City has
been delayed. 1t probably will not
occur until after the evacuation Of
Vera Cruz by the American forces.
Fighting is already under way at
'Guadalajara, metropolis Of the west
coast country, according to unofficial
reports. It was said that a strong
command of Villa troops was assault
ing the Jalisco capital.
A column of 1900 Villa troops, with
a battery of artillery, left Chihuahua
City to invade Sonora and assist the
Mayterena forces, row attacking Naco,
Sonora.

Terrible losses were suffered by both
sides.
Great trains of German wounded
have been sent to Client and more dis
tant places.
Large quantities of bridge building
and engineering material have reached
the flooded area of West Flanders.
Systematic efforts to cope with the OBJ
stacle of water by damming and bridg-
ing it have begun.
The work of fortifying the whole
coast from Ostend to the Dutch from
tier. which the Germans began weeks
ago, seems completed

converted into an artillery fortress.
At least six submarines have been
brought overland in sections by the
Germans and are now at Zeebrugge.
The people living north Of Zeebrugge

homes and, with a view of breaking
any communication with the allied
fleet, they have been forbidden to
seek new homes on the coast.

In finding verdict the jury took a
course outlined by Justice Clarke in
his final instructions. He said he had
serious doubts as to the validity OF
the grand larceny charge, but left it
to the jury to decide as to SiegePs
guilt or innocence OF the less serious
offense

son why sentence should not be
passed upon him. siegel replied in
the negative.

OLD CRAFT OF ODD DESIGN
MesopOtamia Boat, Known as KE,
Known to Have Been in Use Be.
fore Christian Era.

The Kufa, a curious circular boat
made of basketwork, and seen M.
where else in the world, is com.
mon sight in Mesopotamia. The fer
rymen charge only cent each mas
senger. There is one good point about
these strange craft-they are not cas-.
lily upset. Their carrying capacity also
is great, and the kufa men pack in
their passengers like herrings in a bar
rel. / had the good luck to take pho
tograph of the actual building Of a
kufa on the banks of the Tigris river,
says writer in the Wide World They
are made of date palm branches
woven together with rope made out Of
leaves of the same palm, thickly plaS.
tered on the outside with bitumen.
They range from four to twelve feet
in diameter. Nowhere but on the
Tigris and lower Euphrates rivers can
one see these curious craft, which
serve principally for the transport Of
passengers, country produce and
beasts of burden across the river
About three men are required to make
a kufa of respectable size, and it
takes them some twenty days to build
it. Like the kelek, the kufa is Of
great antiquity, for both these strange
craft were in use long before the time
of Christ. The evidence of this is in.
disputable, for on the bas-reliefs taken
from the palace of Sennacherib both
craft are clearly represented.

England Talks of Invasion.

London, Nov. 23.-Plans for dealing
with a possible German invasion
were spoken of in the house of COM
mons tonight by Under-Secretary for
War Tenant.
Reports from Germany of feverish
activity in the construction of war
ships as we'll as in the manufacture
of Zeppelin airships are receiving at
tention from those who regard an
attack on England as not unlikely.
The opinion prevails that Germany
is not able to complete with Great
Britain in the construction of bat
tleships. Consequently, she is de-
voting greater energy to the building
of an air feet. Naval construction
takes relatively second place.

100000 killed. wounded and missing
These figures do not include the sick
officers and soldiers, the number of
whom is reckoned at nearly half a
million. These calculations seem to
be proved by 80 official German lists
carrying $4,000 names. These addi-
tional lists have also been given out:
Saxony, 81; Wuerttemberg, 60; Ba-
varia, So; navy, IL. These additional

decisive victory over the German
forces under General Won Hindenburg.
All reports from Petrograd received
indicate that the second German at
tempt to capture Warsaw has failed.
The Germans, who penetrated Rus

'Warta rivers to within thirty-f1ve miles
of Warsaw, again are reported retreat
ing toward the frontier after battles
covering five days, in which they sus-
tanned enormous losses.
! Grand Duke Nicholas, commander
Hn-chief of the Russian forces, for two
days in succession has recorded par
stial successes in this great battle and
last night the German general staff
said the arrival of Russian REINFORCE
ments has postponed a decision.
Russ Victory Confirmed.

grad says:

ffirmed by private advices. Large bod
les of German troops were surround
ed and captured near Lowicz. The en-

"It is expected, however, that Gen
Ieral Won Hindenburg, who has been
REINFORCED by a new corps, will at

on the Polish border"
Reports Situation Favorable.
Berlin, Nov. 24.-The general staff
of the German army, referring to i'm
portant operations in Poland now
nearing decisive outcome, announced
today that it considered the situation
everywhere favorable. An official
statement said:
I'm East Prussia the situation re-
mains unchanged. in Poland the ap-
pearance of Russian re-enforcements
is postponing decision of the battle.
The fighting continues and the strug-
gle is going on to the south of Plotsk,
in the vicinity of Lodz and near Geen-
stochau. German cavalry patrols are
within 80 miles of Warsaw"
All the Berlin newspapers comment
favorably and very hopefully on the
possible outcome of the fighting. They
express the opinion that these engage
ments may decide the entire Russian
campaign, If not the outcome of the

MAY BE STRATEGIC MOVE.
ALLIES Unable to Fathom Plans of the
Germans in BELGIUM.


Germans In Belgium.
London, Nov. 23.-Germany's arm
les are reported preparing to launch a
new offensive movement in Belgium or
France in an effort to break through
the allies line and reach the French
coast 1t is believed by the allied COM
manders that they will attempt at the
same time to force the line of French
Ifortresses in the Argonne region.
The Germans have been violently
bombarding Ypres, Scissors and
Reims while making attacks in force
in the Argonnes. The French claim
the assault in the last-named region
have been repulsed, but the Germans
say that they have been gaining
ground steadily.
r All this activity may be intended to
divert attention from the quarter in
which the supreme attack is to be
made.
While seeking to learn where the
next blow may fall the allies are oper-
ating with a view of preventing posi-
bility of the Germans trying again to
move along the coast. Therefore, the
British fleet has been bombarding
their positions from the sea.
In an official report given out in
Berlin the Germans report that the
British squadron was driven away by
German artillery, though it twice ap-
preached the coast. The report adds
that the British naval guns did no
damage.
