ENGLISH MINISTER
GETS HIS PASSPORTS
Is Indiscreet in Criticising
Withdrawal Of Troops from
Vera Cruz

Washington, Sept. 17.-Government
officials have known for fortnight, it
was learned here today, that Provisional
President Carranza of Mexico, had
handed Sir Lionel Garden, British min
ister to Mexico his passports. 1t was
understood that General Carranza be-
lieved Sir Lionel inimical to the cause
of the constitutionalists and favorable
to the Cowdray interests.
Through Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the
British ambassador, England today
apologized to the United States for the
utterances Yesterday of Sir Lionel, in
regard to, the order withdrawing Ameri-
can troops from Vera Cruz.
Administration officials had char
acterized Gardens eritisism as "the
outburst of disgruntled diplomat. =
A prominent diplomat here said today
he would not be surprised if France
withdrew her ambassador to Mexico be-
cause of the manner in which nuns and
priests had been treated by constitu-
tionalists. He said every indication
pointed to General Camsnza having diff
ficulty in getting recognition of the
European powers.
1t was reported today that Gardens
removal was peremptOry, General Car
rama not having made any representa-
tions to England or having asked for
his withdrawal. Before Ambassador
Spring Rice voiced England S apology
he attempted to reach Garden S steam
ship in an effort to either confirm OF
deny the interview in which Garden wa;
quoted as saying that President Wilson
ordered the removal of the troops from

Invasion Of East Prussia Was
Fine Bit of Strategy on
RusSia's Part
WEAKENED GERMAN
ARMIES In FRANCE
Movements More Difficult
Since Rains Have Made
Whole Country Swamp

Petrograd, Sept, l7.-Part Of Ger.
many rs first line of troops in East
Prussia was being withdrawn today.
1t was taken for granted here that
the troops were, for the time, more
urgently needed in France than on the
eastern frontier.
AT least half dozen corps were said
to have been transferred.
Basing their opinion on these with
drawals from the east, military experts
said they did not believe any important
German invasion of Russian territory
would be attempted at present They
thought the kaiser was Already too fully
occuDed in the west to push an often
sive campaign to the eastward
1t was the impression here that the
Russians themselves would not under.
take operations on an important scale
in East Prussia, thinly settled marshy
country through which the road to Ber.
lin would be considerably longer than
the one farther to the southwark by
way of Silesia.
Preliminary to an advance through
Silesia, it was necessary, however, 70
crush the Austrians and it was diff
cult to tell in advance how long this
would take. In the meantime the allies
were hard pressed in France and il was
important to create an immediate diver
sion.
The quickest way of doing this W.,
to invade East Prussia. 1t was done
accordingly, the ruse worked, the kai
ser weakened his western force tt
strengthen his eastern one and the re
suit was that he lost the battle of tn,
| Marne.
This having been done, the expert
surmised that the East Prussian cam
paign would lapse and that the Rus
SLAMS, instead, would finish the Aus
trians and push on toward Berlil
through Galicia, Silesis and Branden
burg.
In East Prussia it was raining heav
lily and the country in which the troop
were operating was vast swamp.

Fighting with Desperate Cour-
age Germans Are Being
Slowly Forced Back
GERMANS SUPPLY OF
FOOD Is EXHAUSTED
This With Cold Rains HaInp-
ers ActiOn---French Troops
Are Well PrOviisiOned
(By Ed L. Keen.)

London, Sept. 17.-Though fighting
with desperate courage, Germany S
forces in France were retiring today at
their center and left, the war office
announced this afternoon.
Their right was said to be trying fur.
iously to resume the offensive but had
failed thus far, it was stated, and the
war office added that what slight adj.
vantage had been gained was in the
allies favor.
Advices from Holland were to the
effect that the kaiser was strengthen.
ing his Rhine defenses. This was taken
here as suggesting that he anticipated
retirement to that line.
In fact, along the Lorraine border, il
was said the German forces had al
ready been cleared from French terri
tory and the natural next step, it was
assumed, would be Gallic invasion
such as has already occurred in uppei
Alsace.
AS for the German center, under th,
Crown Fince, it had been driven bacl
in some places from eight to 25 miles
In East Prussia it was understood
the wet season had set In and it was ex
pected the SHOWS would soon max,
campaigning there difficult if not i'm
possible.
1t was believed, therefore, that tn,
German general staff would devot,
most of its energies to the fighting il
the west.

Concentrate at Cracow.

Petrograd, Sept. l7.-Austrian and
German forces were concentrating at
Cracow today, according 20 news from
the southwestern fighting zone.
The Russians were crossing the River
San with a view to thanking the re.
treating Austrians
Austrian prisoners of war attributed
their armies defeats to the number of
unframed troops used to oppose the
Russians.
They explained that when the war
broke out, the best of Austria s forces
were in the field against the Seryians.
Later, instead of rushing the first
line into Galicia to resist the Russian in.
vasiou, the general staff threw it into
Russian Poland.
The Petrograd government intention
is to use its prisoners of war in build
ing roads, reclaiming swamps and on
other public works.
