Men Stops Proceedings at
Aguas calientes.

Laredo, Tex Oct. 22.-According
to a private telegram received here
General Francisco Villa, at the
head of 5000 soldiers, entered Aguas
Calientes and made prisoners of the
delegates attending the national peace
convention. General Antonio Villa
real, mentioned as a leading candidate
for the presidecy, was the only dele
gate escaping arrest, the telegram
said.
Ell Paso, Tex, Oct. 20.-Dispatches
received here said that the chief
hitch in the Carranza-Villa conciIia-
ton conference at Aguas Calientes
had been the attitude of the Zapata
delegates. This, it was asserted,
caused the adjournment of the con
ference, which is ordered to reopen.
The guerrilla leader of southern
Mexico was said to have insisted on
matters to which neither the dele
gates of the provisional president nor
the northern chieftain would accede.

CROPS TO PAY DEBT
ENGLAND TO FAKE U. g.. PROD.
UCTS TO SAVE GOLD.
Ninety-day Paper Will Be Ac-
cepted by London.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Sir George
Paish, special adviser to the English
chancellor of the exchequer, after
a conference with treasury officials
v the financial situation, spoke with
optimism as to the outlook.
Sir George expects a scheme can
be worked out that will make the x
port of 5000, 0O0, 900 of gold represent
ing American debts in England I'M
necessary.
The treasury does not want to send
that enormous amount of gold out
of the country. But England does
want the temporary balance Of trade
in her favor settled in some way and
Sir George said that. English manu-
facturers wanted cotton badly il they
can be assured that it has reached its
bottom price.
While the English financial expert
would not discuss ways and means
considered between himself, Secretary
McAdoo and members of the federal
reserve board, the inference was drawn
from what he said that 90-day pa
per would be accepted as the -equiva.
lent of gold. This will be supplied
by the reserve bank.
There is no doubt in my mind that
eventually the balance of trade VIII
again be in your favor he said. In
the months to come England will be
buying American wheat and cotton
These purchases probably will not can
eel the sum owed to England in a few
months, but it is bound to come IN
time. In the meantime, arrangements
will be made SO that the United States
will not be embarrassed but that viii
at the same time assure England thai
her money will be forthcoming when
wanted"

Plan Invasion of England.


The Hague, Oct. 20.-Germany, &C

from Berlin: is preparing to deal Great
Britain a decisive blow. The scheme
is to disembark several army corps
somewhere in the south of England,
while the grand feet is occupied with
fighting the German feet in the North

German experts believe the plan will
be entirely successful.

Plans Great Sea Fight.
While this is taking place Admiral
Won Ingenohl's fleet. now confined at
Wilhelmshaven, will steam out into
the North sea for the great fight.
These German calculations rest on
the hypothesis that the south coast OF
England will be left absolutely with
out protection, all of Admiral Sir
John Jellico's ships being engaged In
the great North sea battle.
The German newspapers, by way OF
preparing public opinion for this great
stroke, publish e~xtravagant dispatches
dilating on British nervousness and
the fear of unavoidable destruction by
Germany.
On the Eastern Frontier.
P~etrograd, Oct. 22.-Russians have
won a great victory over the German
main forces, which are in full retreat
The force now beaten is Germany's
best army against Russia.

between the Bzura and Pilitza, con.
fuents of the Vistu1a. The German
forces are still holding their positions,
but this is merely a matter of time,
since the latter are now on the flank
and partly to the rear of the other
German armies.
In their retreat before the Russian
forces the Germans abandoned their
wounded and evacuated a strongly in.
trenched position, where they were
expected to make q stand.

Three pays Of Fighting.

n.E
On the Battle Front, via Paris. Oct
22.-Fighting has continued through
out three days with undated fury in
West Flanders from the North lei
across the French frontier. A terrific
battle ragged along three fronts, with
d total line of As miles.
Reports were received hat the Eng
fish feet was bombarding Ostend, &C.
cupied some days ago by the Ger
mans, but no mention of this was
made in the official communique.
From Newport to Dixmude, along
a line ten miles long. the allies were
engaged desperately in stemming the
German advance on Dunkirk. Pre-
sumably the Belgian army led by
King Albert was in this engagement,
as it was reported at Fumes, a few
miles to the eastward.
The report that the British feet
is bombarding Ostend is given credi-
bility by another report that terrific
bombardment from the battleships,
combined with accurate artillery fire
from the naval brigade landed to re-
enforce the land forces, had forced
the Germans to abandon the project
pf mounting their heavy artillery
along the coast for offensive opera
lions against the British warships.
British warships have shelled Ger
man trenches on the Belgian coast,
killed 1900 Germans and brought
down two airships, a Zeppelin and a
Taube, according to dispatches from
Dover.
During the operations the British
fleet was attacked by three German
misunderstanding the first air,
sea and underwater battle of the
war. The submarines discharged sew
eral torpedoes, but did no damage.
Besides the 1900 killed in the
trenches, the dispatches report that
