Austro- 0ernfans developed their ooun-

the war and drove tho sdavs back

fifty miles between the DonaJec de-

for the cxars troops and progress
through the district ought TO be slow.
The Russians have been held by
the German forcss throughout the
week At the eastern frontier and there
has boon no penetration o. German
territory except along the east Prus-

an imposing offensive been developed.
No reasonable doubts exists but that
the Russian campaign has been
brought to halt at oermany's door.

republics to make investigation OF the
charges Of Great Britain and France,
that the republics were giving aid to
German warships.
Secretary Of State Bryan announced
this action was taken in response to
the request of Great Britain and
France that the United States use its
influence to insure strict enforcement
of rules of neutrality among South
American republics. 1t is charged by
Great Britain and France that Colon
bia and Ecuador have permitted the
use of their ports as bases OF sup
plies and wireless stations as means
of communication to German warships
operating against British commerce
on the coast of South America. Great
Britain, 1t is said, has gone so far as
to charge that information which led
to the defeat of the British squadron
Off the coast of Chill last week, was
furnished to German ships by wire
less stations tn Ecuador and Colombia
Colombia has come forward with
vigorous denial of the British charge.
Ecuador has remained silent except
that the legation here issued denial
that she repudiated the British ac-
cusations as stated by Secretary Bry-
an several days ago. American min
listers in South America were directed
to hold conferences with the foreign
ministers of the various republic in
an effort to get at the truth Of charges
of neutrality violation and to learn II
possible the attitude of South Amer
lean nations in regard to neutrality.
The result OF their Investigations Will
determine the policy of the United
States toward the South American re-
publics during the war. 1t is doubtful
whether the United States will go to-
the length of direct interference, and
the likely thing is merely suggestions
on the part of this government to1
the republics that our own neutrality
policy would be wise one to follow.

soldiers on the same day, some going
north. some going south. in what ap-
peared to hopeless tafgle, It struck
me more forcibly than ever that the
modern fghting machine IL the most
complicated thing on earth. In Cen

railway, bride path. pig trail, bridge,

river, creek and swamp. There is
also a wonderful collection Of wax
headed pins OF all colors and sizes
representing various army units.
Into the room run many wires, with
telephone and telegraph and wireless
apparatus.
The battle IL about to commence.
The troops have been distributed all
along the 200 miles. The Germans
are facing them. A bell rings:
"Hello-yes-ths Germans are at

superior numbersf The general needs

Every time bridge II blown up or

Extension Of Time.

ELL PASO, Texas. Nov. 1.-THE out
look for peace in Mexico was consid-
cred brighter tonight, following the
receipt OF dispatches from Aguas Cal
ientes stating that General venustiaro
Carranza had been given an extern
sion of time in which to comply with
: the demands Of the Aguas Calientes
convention and surrender the prcvis-
iona1 presidency to General Eulalio
Gutierrez.
AS the result Of conferences at Silao
and Lagos, Mexico, between repre-.
sentatives Of Carranza and Gutierrez,
the time given to Carranza was ex-
tended to tonight and adherents OF
both sides in the Mexican controver
sy are anxiously awaiting advices to
learn whether the first CHIEF has
agreed to the demands
General Pablo Gonzales. who con.
Quoted the Silao negotiations for the
Carranza party, is communicating with
Cordoba to advise Carranza Of the ex
tension and to endeavor to persuade
him to resign.
simultaneously with this hopeful
news, however, came an announce
ment from Enrique c. Llorente, diplo
matte agent in Washington, OF the
Gutierrez faction, that the Aguaf
Calientes convention would file Wig
orous protest against the proposal tc
permit the American troops to evac
uate Vera Cruz in favor of the forces
of Carranza. The demand will be
made that the port be turned over tt
the civil and military representatives
of the Aguas Calientes convention
1.-THE evacuation of Vera Cruz to the
Carranza forces would be a recogni
ton by the United States of Carranza
as the supreme power in the republic
while on the contrary, Gutierrez ant
the convention are the supreme lega
power" said Lorente.
Whether this protest will change
the administrations determination tt
eyacuate the port Is problematical.
- Has Been Expensive.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Discuss
ing the Mexican situation this evening
General Witherspoon, army chief Of
staff, said: "It has cost the United
States five million dollars to send the
army to Vera Cruz and to keep Il
there. God only knows what it ha,
cost the navy for its entire service of
the coast. We spent $685. to keel
the refugees at Fort Rosecranz and
Fl. Wingate. We have kept the Mex
leans from running riot across tn.
border"
1t is known that the confidential
agents Of the state department hav,
assured both President Wilson an,
Secretary Bryan that the entir.
trouble in Mexico is that leaders o
factions there have been satiated witt
beliefs OF their own Importance.
They declare the main trouble i
that each faction has been told tina
they can buy all of the arms and an
munition they need right here in tn

WANT. TO BUILD CHAPELS ON GOVERNMENT LAND

Catholic authorities are asking Con gress for law allowing the building of Catholic chapels on government army post land. the particular refer ence being to Governors Island in New York harbor. On the island is a beautiful Episcopal church, built and the clergy supplied by Trinity parish, The arrangements came in through a revoeable permit granted in 1S4S, and continued a few years ago when Trinity built and opened the present chapel. At West Point the government chapel under control of no religious body, has long had an Episcopal chaplain by as- signment. West Point has also a Cath ol c chapel, under control of Cardinal Farley as archbishop of New York
 The movement for additional chap lains In army and navy. but particu- larly in the navy, is complicated by the new decision of chaplain uniform. This decision requires not only insignia of chaplain, but also a minister and is held by many, especially the Catholic authorities, to be hindrance to the work among enlisted men. Chaplains themselves are known to have ex- pressed many varying views concerning the uniform they ought to wear. Now that the decision has been given, mo- body seems to be satisfied.

EPISCOPALIANS INTERESTED
 IN ENGLISH DISPUTE

Episcopalans in this country are keenly interested in the decision of the archbishop of Canterbury to refer the
 kikuyu controversy to the consultative
 body of the Anglican communion This
 Is so because of the very close rela-
 tions between Episcopalians and the
 Church of England. The famous con-
 troversy has not vitally affected the
 corresponding body here. For some
 reason fights of the bitterest kinds can
 go on in England, and never cross the
 Atlantic ocean. Episcopal leaders here
 fear some may do so, but the Kiyuku
 controversy has been like all that pre- ceded it--it has stayed at home.
 This consultative body grew out of the Lambeth conference, conference of Anglican bishops of the whole world, that meets in Lambeth palace, London, as guests of the archbishop of Canter- bury, once in 10 years. No laymen att tend. The body was formed in the be- lief that Kiyuku cases might arise, but as matter of fact the body, existing some 30 years. has had almost noth- ing to do. Represented in 1t are bish- ops of every country where the Angli- can communion Is established, save Africa and even little Tasmania have members upon it.
 The bishops of Mombasa and Uganda in Africa, celebrated the Lords supper in a Presbyterian church, and admitted Christians, not Anglicans to it. The bishop of Zanzibar, high church mis-
 sionary, reported the incident, and all England was aflame. Now Archbishop Davidson of Canterbury, asks the Judg ment of the consultative body whether the acts of Mombasa and Uganda con- travend or not the fundamental prin- ciples of the Anglican communion. It is reported that most American bish- ops hold that it did not, and some among them are frankly saying so.

NEW BUILDINGS FOR
 THE SALVATION ARMY

In various parts of the country the salvation Army is preparing to- spend almost at once s2,000.00o to S3,000,000 on new buildings and upon land, chiefly the former and in large centers of population. This expenditure is greater than the entire assets of the army at the time Commander Eva Booth took charge. In Covington, Ky, at a cost of S200,000 and in Detroit at a cost of S7o,0o0 there are building Womens 5 Training Schools in Domestic Science. In Cleveland is a Martha Washington Home for Girls, that is costing s500Oo, and in Pittsburg an Industrial Home, rescue anu general army building cost ing s500.000.
 In New York and Chicago are to be erected the Booth Memorial Training schools, that will cost s500,00 each. Sites are to be purchased at once, and in New York the campaign to raise the money for buildings to be entered upon in October. It is likely the Chicago building will be helped from New York. and that the Chicago campaign will follow immediately the New York one. In Chicago there is also planned a Girls Domestic Science School and Home to cost $200,000. The home part of the plan is already under construc- tion. It is for girls whose incomes are S5 week or less.
 In New York tentative plans have been drawn for a home for girls whose wages are $5 or less, and the building of it awaits only the decision in re- under consideration. In California tlA army is negotiating for farms, partly fruit and partly grain, that are to cost $75,0000. These farms are for boys who are to be sent to them from crowded parts of the large cities
