ENRAGED CATHOLIC
SYMPATHIZERS AIMING

Ell Paso. Texas, Oct. 26.-Uprisings
in central Mexico of Catholic sympa-
thizers in arms against the Constitu-
tionalists' program were told of here
today by Americans and Mexfcans ar
irving from Guadalajara. According
to the reports anti-Catholic proceed
ings of constitutionalist troops have
provoked widespread movement
against the present government.
Carranza soldiers at Union De Tula,
Jalisco, were attacked by the popu-
lace, after the troops had entered the
Cathedral and confiscated the church
property. The trouble has spread to
number of towns near Guadlajara.
Priests are said to have directed some
of the uprisings. Effort is being made
to gain the adherence of the Cienti-
fico element.

Fighting in Villages

In the towns and villages with which
the country is dotted and most of
which have been laid in ruins by the
artillery. most desperate fighting has
occurred when the cavalry and in
fantry come into contact. Both sides
speak of the heavy losses they have
imposed on their adyersaries, but say
nothing of their own dead or wound
ed to fill the places of whom reinforce
ments are being brought forward.
The British fleet which did such ex-
ecution in bombarding the German
flank as they advanced along the
coast seems to have withdrawn yes
terday afternoon. The Germans say
this was because their artillery was
beginning to reach the ships. ,
The belief is expressed here, how
ever, that the fleet will be able to
render untenable German occupation
of any part of the Belgian or French
coasts. The opinion also is expressed
here that the operations of the allied
vessels in the North sea off the Bel
gian coast and in the vicinity of the
Straits of Dover may cause the Ger
man fleet to come out and give battle.
In naval circles here, it is consider
ed that the German submarines, al
though they have proved deadly to
ships steaming slowly will not De so
effective against ships steaming and
maneuvering at high speed and in
shallow water as the British monitors
and their auxiliaries have been doing.

WILL co
FIR @ N CANADA
INSTEAD OF The
10000 PLANNED

Ottawa, Ont, Oct. 26-It has been de-
cided to send LEGO more Canadians to
Europe in December instead of 10000, the
number specified in the announcement of
Premier Borden two weeks ago. The
ready response to the call for volunteers
and speedy delivery of rifles and other
equipment have enabled the government
to increase the size of the second expe-
dictionary force.
The Royal Canadian Regiment, thou
sand strong, which is garrisoning Ber-
muda, will be one of the units to go with
the second contingent, and the place of
the regiment at Bermuda will be taken
by a regiment of less experienced men.
Many of the thousand men who have
been doing guard duty on bridges, maya
zines and wireless stations in Canada
since the beginning of the war also will
be given the chance of active service and
their work will be taken over largely by
recruits In addition to these forces,
strong medical and engineering corps will
be sent.
Many offers for service with the second
Canadian contingent are being received
from the United States, as they were for
the first The military department is
unable to accept offers from across the
line but the enlistment officers do not hes
itate to accept Americans for service
when they are once in Canada.

Consider Successor

with the arrival of the % dele
gates representing Gen. Zapata. the
convention was expected today formal
ly to consider the question of a sue
cessor to Carranza. No report has
been received late tonight of the re-
suit of today's deliberations when
the all-important question of the Pro-
visional Presidency was to be dis
cussed.
Officials of the Washington govern
ment had no doubt that the two con-
ditions which Carranza was reported
to have stipulated as necessary be-
fore he would retire-namely that the
tenure of the provisional government
be brief and that he be permitted TO
be a candidate for the Presidency IN
the elections to be ordered-would be
satisfactorily met by the convention.

the charitable institutions on Black
wells island by a special grand jury
for the past two months resulted today
in the jury presenting report which
recommended that the commissioner

ing placed in bed with children who

warm ARGUMENT
At PHILADELPHIA
CELEBRATES THE
SD ANNIVERSARY

Philadelphia, Oct 26.-The third an.
niversary of the institution by the
federal government of it's suit to break
up into Independent units the United
State Steel Corporation on the ground
that 1t violates the Sherman anti
trust law, was observed today by the
contending lawyers continuing to fire
their verbal batteries at each other.
Henry L. Cotton, special assistant to
the attorney general, concluded his
argument in support of the petition to
dissolve the alleged trust and he was
followed by David A. Reed of Pitts
burg. of counsel for the Steel Corpor-
alton, and son of James II. Reed,
a director in the big concern.
A development of the day was the
governments announcement that in
view of the cancellation Of the lease
of the Great Northern Railway inter-
ests deposits in the Lake Superior dis
trict to the Steel Corporation, the gov
ernments action against Is land COM
panies controlled by the Great North
ern had narrowed down to question
of the costs in the present suit.
Mr.. Cotton in closing his argument,
presented liz uIcS " SdPPoAt SiiS 6OF
ernment's contention that the Steel
Corporation along with independent
manufacturers kept the price of iron
and steel products uniformly high
throughout most Of the years since
the organization of the concern.
Mr.. Reed opened his argument for
the Steel Corporation with tribute to
Andrew Carnegie (named as an In
dividual defendant), for his philan-
thropical work. He said Mr.. Carnegie
in selling his interests to the Steel Cor
poration did not have in mind any
moncpolistic intent upon the part of
the corporation and that he disposed
of his ownership in the Carnegie Co.
to unburden himself Of the heavy
weight Of business care and to devote
his time and fortune to help his fell
low men. Mr.. Reed combatted the gov
ernment's contention that the Steel
Corporation had monopolistic con-

The battle for the Straits Of

with undated fury but thus far
without either side gaining any
decided advantage. :
The Germans, who, at terri
BILE cost of life, succeeded last
Saturday in crossing the User

make any further progress, as
the Allies, according to report
of the German general head

are obstinately defending their
positions.
It is the same further south,
around Armentieres, Lille, La

attacks, gaining or losing few
miles of ground with sacrifices
in life that are appalling. The
whole countryside is fairly reek-
