VILLA WILL SUPPORT ANY
GOVERNMENT NAMED BY THE
ACUASCAuENTES CONVENTION
Enemy of Carranza Cheered for His Bearing
And Promises to National Delegates

Washington, Oct. 19.-General Villa
has informed the United States gov
eminent that, unless something unfore-
seen occurs, hostilities in Mexico are
at an end and that he will support any
provisional government set up by the
national convention at Aguascalientes.
Villa said he would not accept Car
rama as provisional President, but was
satisfied he would not be chosen. The
general understanding on all sides has
been that Carranza himself does not
desire to be provisional President,
wishing to be free to enter the Presl-
Dental race in the succeeding election

Lille with House to
House Fighting-Ger-
mans Claim Victories

London, Oct. 19.-10.15 P. M.
The third act of the war in
the western theatre is now in a
critical stage. The first act was
the German attempt to carry
out the scheme of an irresistible
sweep through Belgium and
northern France upon Paris,
eliminating in the capture of
the French capital, which would
have been a disheartening blow
to France.
The second act was the Of
fensive assumed by the Allies,
after General Won Kluck had
stretched his army on the Ger
man west wing over longer line
of communications than he could
hold, and the allied army press
ed him back toward the Belgian
border, compelling the entire
German line to recede in order
to maintain an unbroken front
and possible line of retreat.
The third act comprises the
attempted advance of the Ger
mans along the coast of Belgium
and northern France, apparent
| ly with the design of establish
ing themselves in the channel
ports, from which points of van
tage they could menace Eng
land.

Mrs. Florence Conklin Carman who,
on June 80 last, thrust a revolver
through a shattered window pane in
the office of her husband, DR.. Edwin
Carman of Freeport, and shot and
killed Mrs. Louis Bailey, who was
standing there, was completed in the

speedy selection of the jury Tonight
it was announced by officials connect
ed with the prosecution that night ses-
sions might be held in order to COM
plete the case before the end of the
week. This will be determined by the
noon recess of the court tomorrow.
Mrs. Carman around whom District
Attorney Lewis J. Smith and his as
sistant hope to weave net of cir
cumstantial evidence, so strong as to
result in a verdict of murder in the
first degree, was the most interested
spectator in the court room today.

of the Freeport physician paid close

Re-opening Exchanges

1t probable that before Sir George
returns to England the question of
re-opening of the London and New
York stock exchange will be consid
cred. It was predicted tonight that
the London Exchange would reopen
shortly, with the British government
urging that London brokers shall not
call loans Immediately. If the Lon
don market is not greatly affected, its
resumption of business may be follow
ed by the opening of the New York
exchange.
Awaiting Plan
So much depends, however, on the
solving of the cotton problem that
there probably will be no further con-
ferences until a committee of the
board which is wrestling with the pro-
posed $15O.000.000 cotton loan fund
plan, has found solution satisfac-
tory to the board, to the banks and
the expected borrowers.
This committee returned today from
New York where they have been az
work since Saturday in an effort to
convince New York bankers of the
feasibility and soundness of theiI
plans for the loan fund.
The cotton crop is of first import
ance because the United States has
relied in past years to cancel by far
the larger part of its foreign indebt-
edness. Sir George is known to take
the position that the English cotton
manufacturers do not wish to go into
the market now and buy cotton I'M
less they are satisfied that 1t mas
reached the bottom price. The Ameri-
can manufacturers. according to in
formation available at the treasury de.
partment apparently feel about the
same way and N consequence only
little cotton is being sold. With the
$3.50, 900, 900 loan fund in operation
| however, it is argued that millions O.
| bales of cotton will be taken out o.
| this market and a direct and stimulat
| ing effect will be felt both here anC
| in England. With cotton moving agar
across the Atlantic, the indebtedness!
| of the United States to England woulS
| be decreased rapidly and material,
and conditions here would improve il

| According to information here, Sill
| George Paish did not come to Wash
! ington with any plan to present. HI
came upon invitation to discuss plan:
as to the United States government

Government officials since the wa

Western Fighting Line

The extreme western fighting line
now reaches from Armentieres through
Roulers to Newport, which is on the
coast about half way between Ostend
and Dunkirk. According to the French
official announcement today heavy ar
tillery brought from the siege of Ant
werp presumably has bombarded the
front from Newport to Yladslo, which
is about 10 miles from the coast. The
Allies also have made progress east
ward from a point south of Arment-
ieres toward Lille on a line running,
roughly, to Arras. The report tells OF
house to house fighting, in which the
Allies are advancing. The battle has
waged around Arras without respite
for 10 days, and on the part of the AL
lied troops with a perseverance and
a spirit which never for a moment have
