DRIVE GERMAN OVER CANAL.
Terribl Sacrifice Paid For What Proves
OnIyi Temporary Gain.


London, Oct. 2S.-A dispatch to the
Central News from northeastern
France says:
THE Germans were driven across
the User with heavy loss. by the
French infantry, aided by the fire of
the monitors. When the Belgians un-
dertook the defense of the User they
held it for a week. Then by sheer
weight of artillery and men the Ger
mans pushed the gallant Belsians back,
but not before they paidS.he full price
for the temporary gain.
AT least two army corps faced the
Belgians. Their object was to force
them right into Fra.ce and thus sue
ceed in turning the allies left. 1t cost
the Belgians thousand casualties to
prevent the attainment of this object.
1t is reported on reliable authority that
the German emperor had placed eight
army corps in this section of the field.
Their losses have been frighrful; their
successes practically nil.
Towards the end of last week the
situation was doubtful, now there Is
no reason to fear failure. On the con-
tracy first class success may be
looked for which will place the Ger
mans finally on the defensive in the
west. Great progress is being made
in the reorganization of the Belgian
army"

OF VILLA AND ZAPATA.
ACTION TAKEN IN INTEREST
OF PERMANENT MEXICAN PEACE
Demands Resignation Of Constitution
aIist Chiefs-Villa Inclined to Keep
Apart From Public Office But Zapata
Is Action
Will Be Villas Answer.

Washington, Oct 2S-The American
government was officially Informed to-
day by the minister of foreign rela-
tions at Mexico City that General Car
rama had submitted his resignation to
the national convention at Aguascali-
entes on condition that Generals Villa
and Zapata resign their posts in the
constitutionalist army and retire to pri-
vate life.
General Carranza's action, 1t was
stated, was taken purely in the interest
Of domestic peace. No word was re-
ceived of what action was taken by the
convention Opinions varied in official
circles as to whether either Villa or "a
pata would give such assurance altho
the northern chief had repeatedly
stated to American consular agents
that he had no ambition to be president
of Mexico nor hold any Of the numer-
Gus offices for which his name had
been mentioned.
Zapata Graves Power.
1t is believed there would be no less
difficulty in adjusting the situation
with respect to Villa than to Zapata.
The latter has insisted since Huerta
abdicated that he be permitted to share
the executive power with Carranza.
His representatives at the convention
say they have complete understanding
with Villa. 1t was clear from official
reports that Villas followers were in
control of the convention and now
oo,,ld ralv m rho SuppOrt of the Zapata
delegates SO that the answer OF the
convention will be tantamount to re-
ply from the Villa Zapata coalition.

allies probably are equal to their op-
ponents numerically, with reinforce

of French and British troops who have
not yet been in action, altho the latter
are on this side of the channel. The
Belgian government has been stirred
to greater activity by the comment that
there are large numbers of young and

of their own army. A call has been is

BATTLE is EXPECTED TO

peal to Countrymen Now in England

London, Oct. 2S-The bloody massa-
ere" as it is described by those on the
spot among the sand dunes and the
canals Of Flanders, shows as yet but
few signs of slackening. The valor OF
the German attack has been persist
an.ly countered by equal vaIor from the
steady ranks before them. Apparent
ly no quarter is being asked or given
in this battle on the western front and
the land over which it is being waged
resembles shambles.
Seven times altogether the Germans
have crossed and recrossed the User,
Each time they succeeded in gaining
the left bank they found themselves in a
death trap commanded by the guns of
the. defenders immovably entrenched
behind the railroad cmbankment and
completely barring their progress.
Some German forces, according to the
latest reports in London succeeded in
finding shelter enough among the sand
hillocks to enable them to retain a
footing between the User and the rail-
road running from Dixmude to Nieu-
port but this number UP to the pres
ent time has been insufficient to dis
lodge the allies.
Germans Constantly Reinforced.
German reinforcements are still roll
ing up and the efforts to break the
lines shows no cessation, nor is it ex-
pected that they will until the ex-
hausted masses Of men reach the limit
of their endurance.
It Is impossible for observers in Lon
don to deduce from the German official
communication the German opinion of
events in this arena Of the war. From
the point Of view of the allies the
French announcement Of continued
progress between Ypres and Dixmude
are considered very satisfactory as
foreshadowing a possible threatening OF
the rear Of the German forces nearest
the coast. Another piece of favorable
news from the standpoint of the allies
comes from the Argonne and the region
of the barrier of fortresses This re-
ports French penetration Of territory
hitherto held by the invaders and is
taken to indicate the possibility that
the German left has been so weakened
by the rushing forces that the French
right wing has been stationed for a
possible movement which may have
an echo on the seaboard.
Battle Will Be Decisive.
The opinion is expressed by British
military observers that the present
clash of tactics can not as in the case
of number of previous battles of the
campaign, fade away into a haze with
out a result which will thwart or give
marked success to one side or the other.

Mexican Chief Insists on Retirement OF

Mexican Chief Insists on Retirement OF
Villa to Private Life.
Mexico City, Oct. 2S.-Gen. Carranza
yesterday submitted his resignation to
the Aguascalientes convention. His
offer to relinquish his post as supreme
CHIEF of the nation, however. Is condl-
tional on the retirement to private life
of Gen. Villa.
In offering to resign, Gen. Carranza
said he was actuated only by the high
est motievs of patriotism and that ac-
ceptance or rejection of his offer must
depend on whether or not his elimin-
alton would contribute toward hasten-
ing peace In the republic and the fur
therance of true democratic ideas.
In discussing the tender of his res
ignation, a high government official
said today:
Gen. Villa has charged Gen. Car
rama with being a self-seeker, who
desired to take advantage of an acci-
dent and perpetuate himself in power.
Gen. Carranza now shows his good
faith to the world by declaring that If
the personalities of himself and Villa
are to be check on peace and to dem
ocratic progress in Mexico. they should
both step down and out.
LAS you Americans say. 1T Is now
up to you. Mr.. Villa
"The followers of Gen. Carranza are
willing to let history judge us by this
act of disinterestedness on his part. for
we can make no greater sacrifice in the
interest of peace and patriotism"

Career Of De Wet.
General De Wet is the cavalry leader
who gave the British so much trouble
in the South African war. 1t was an
nounced that he had offered his SER
vices to England at the outbreak of the
European war.
In the South African war General De
Wet was commander in chief of the
Orange Free State forces. He was com
mandant at Ladysmith, and was sent
to relieve General Cronje as second in
command; after General Cronjes sur
render he received full command. He
was one Of the sigratories Of the Yer
eeniging peace conference, and was ap-
pointed minister Of agriculture in 1907.
General De Wet, who was born in
1854. is a big man physically, being six
feet tall and heavily built. He was
probably the ablest general developed
by the South African war. After the
Beers were driven out Of the larger
cities De Wet, with Botha, took the
field and began guerilla warfare that
put the forces Of England to a severe
test,

& Coke Company. that was wrecked by
| u gas explosion yesterday. All but two
or three OF the miners who entered tha
workings yesterday have been definite-
ly accounted for. and of these this
death list will total fifty or more.
The mine officials said that 2S5 min.

Ing. account for the 335 men that en-
tered the shaft yesterday morning to

The night shift OF rescue workers

by noon all the wreckage will have
been cleared from the shaft and the
possible death toll ascertained.
Few Of Victims Identified.
But eleven OF the dead have been
identified. The number Of rescuers
was doubled this morning.
In an effort to alleviate the hysteria
which had been among the women and
children the coroner has barred al rel-
| atives OF the dead from the two tempo
rary morgues.
The state mine Inspectors inveatiGA-
| ton into the causes and responsibility
for the disaster viii not begin until the
| last body has been removed from the
| mine.
The coroner's inquest was begun to-
day.
Inquiry among survivors today dc.
veloped that Immediately after the ex-
ploslon the men operating the air shaft
reversed the air. hoping thereby to
draw the poisonous gas from the mine.
This, said James w. Brown, mine man.
ager, may have caused the death OF
some men who were near the entrance
OF the shaft, but 1t saved the lives OF
many more.
1t developed today that most of the
deaths were due to the reversal Of air
in the shaft as soon as the explosion
occurred. On the other hand mine Off
Gals declare this reversal of air also
prevented much heavier death toll, in
that 1t drew the afterdamp out Of the
workings.
1t developed today that there was
no fire in the mine and that the re-
ports OF fire started from the fact that
several of the bodies recovered soon
after the explosion were charred.
The inquest into the disaster will be
held late today.
