Paris Awaits News.

Paris Awaits News.
PARIS. October "a, 6:56 p.m.-Paris
has lived through another tense day
with no decisive news of the battle
upon which the safety of the capital.
and perhaps of France, is believed to
depend. Anxiety has been increasing
all the week. 1t has seemed as though
each day must see the elimination of
the titanic efforts of the two great
armies.
The shops Of Paris, which have been
doing good deal of business since the
first of the month. are nearly empty
again, while the crowds have increased
around the newspaper offices, discuss
ing in low tones the fragments of news
posted on the bulletin boards. Every
word of the official communication is
studied in an endeavor to determine
what has happened.
The crowd is greatest at the head
quarters of the military governor of
Paris in the Boulevard des 1nvalides.
where the official announcements are
issued. The people gather also at the
Villette gate. through which runs the
main highway toward the north. to see
the dispatch bearers arriving in motor
cars or on motor cycles.
Fighting is proceeding within one
hours ride of Paris by swift motor
when the roads are clear. Some per-
sons say that when the wind is right
cannonading can be heard in the north
ern suburbs Of the city.
Conveys of automobile ambulances
from all the Paris hospitals have gone
to the front to convey the wounded,
not to Paris, but to hospitals near the
firing lines. Extraordinary precau-
tions are being taken against wheeled
vehicles. including bicycles, leaving the
limits of the so-called intrenched camp
of Paris. which includes the depart

The minister of war will not grant
any permit to approach within twenty
miles of the fighting lines. unless 1t is
countersigned by Gen. Joffre.
Still Undecided.
LONDON, October "a, s:15 a.m.-The
immense armies of the belligerent pow
ers continue to hammer each other
ceaselessly on lines extending from
the North sea to the Swiss frontier in
the west, and from the Baltic sea to
the Carpathians in the east. The net
result, however. SO far as can be
judged from official reports issued to-
only to lose a little elsewhere.
The French commander-in-chief is
the only one to admit reverses in the
western theater of the war, and he
does so only in cryptic sentences. 1T
is dificult to judge, therefore. how the
battles in France and Belgium are pro-
crossing, but it is certain that up to-
this evening none of the armies has
succeeded in pushing its offensive far
enough to bring appreciably nearer the ]
end Of any of the engagements that
have been going on for so many weeks.
The Germans have taken the Often
sive against both the right wing of
the allied army, which rests on the
sea. and that portion of the French
army which is defending the line of

that even the accounts of trainIoads
of wounded being taken daily to the
hospitals cannot be exaggerated
The same can be said of the district
between the fortresses of Verdun and
Toul, where two armies have been hat
tling for many weeks, with gains and
losses amounting to virtually nothing
as far as distance is concerned
Today both sides claim success in
battle in which there were SO many
victims that the Germans asked for a
truce to bury their dead. This plea
was refused.

The Russians also apparently are en-
gagged in offensive operations on the
East Prussian frontier, as the Ger

attack at Augustowo, which it says
was repulsed.
OF the fighting In Bosnia the ac-
counts are SO contradictory that no
judgment can be formed. The Aus

MYNDus PEOPLE PROTEST

Joshua Roseboro and J. G. Boyd of
Myndus, Luna count, motored into the
capital today to lodge a vigorous pro-
test with the state corporation COM
mission and attorney general against
Southern Pacific for the kind of de-
pot it is erecting at Myndus. They
want the state to stop the work forth
with and compel the railroad company
to put up something more pretentious,
in keeping with the ambitions of Myn-
dus, some day to become the metro
polls of the Mimbres valley. The rail
road company insist that business at
Myndus does not justify the erection
of any kind of station at all, out to
be generous, the company has begun
the erection of an arcade and sta
tion room for the townsite. To prove
their independence of railroad com
panies in general, the delegation mo-
tored all the way from the southern
part of the state to Santa Fe.

UNITED STATES WILL
NOT ENTER THE WAR
NEW COMMERCIAL TREATIES
WILL PREVENT HER BEING
DRAWN IN

Washington, Sept. 1o.-In the midst
of the European war, Great Britain
France, Spain and China have agreed
to sign peace commission treaties with
the United States. One effect of the
new conventions would be to prevent
the UIited States from being drawn
suddenly into the conflict.
Germany, Russia and Japan have
sigEified their acceptance of the prin-
ciple Of these treaties, though nego-
tioations have not advanced to the
point of drafting conventions. Similar
agreements with Turkey and Greece
are almost ready for signature.
The first four treaties are ready for
signature and are regarded by Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Bryan as
of far reaching importance. While
negotiations were begun before the
European war broke, their consumma-
ton practically will safeguard the
United States from being drawn in
over any question of neutrality or
other controversy.

referee in the partition suit involv-

transferred 1900 acres of the grant
to the ancestor of the Maestas claim
ants, who are so numerous now that
some of them will be awarded only
.528 part of the tract. 1t has taken
five years to gather the testimony
and trace UP the geneaIogles and the
costs will eat up considerable part of
the proceeds of the tract should it be
sold, which is likely. The land will
be quite valuable some day, If pres
