" miles. Tho British, BY eeries of
heavy engagements In which the
fighting was continuous. have pre-.
vented General Won 1oehn's army
from attacking Dunkirk from the
south.
The Germans, following the arrival
Of their fresh reserves week ago,
pushed their lines steadily westward
from Lille to st. cmer. Because OF
the weight Of numbers, Il was neces-
sary for the British to fall back.
When St. Omer was reached, how
ever, they were reinforced by two
French armies and another driving
movement was begun which only
ended after Armentieres, thirty miles
to the eastward had been occupied In
force.
Tho allies are now back TO their
original line, extending almost due
north and south from the vicinity Of
ostend, south through Armentieres to
Arras. This will compel the Germans
who are operating from, ostend and
moving against Dunkirk, to make all

by the British forces In this move

SEE HUERTA PLAN
TO FORCE HOST|L|T|ES
Expect Him to Commit Overt
Act to Start War.

Administration officials in Washing
ton see in the capture of the city OF
Tampico by the rebels and other de-
velopments in the Mexican situation a
chance that there may be no need for
the army in Mexico after all.
Provisional President Huerta, ac-
cording to these officials, is slowly be-
ing eliminated, r2uch as the admins.
tration desires.
But this view is not accepted by the
army officers. Huerta, they say. realiz-
ing that the rebels are closing in on
him, and facing an uprising in his own
army, is collecting all his remaining
strength for hostilities with the United
States. That he fully realizes his peril
is not doubted in diplomatic circles
and neither is it doubted that he
means to fight and die martyr"
Reports from General Funston, who
organized an elaborate system for OBJ
tanning military information in Mex
leo, it is asserted, indicate that Huer'
ia is making every preparation for a
last stand at Puebla, a city which, by
it's geographical location, can be made
most difficult to take by an attacking
army.
The war department has abandoned
the idea that Huerta plans to attack
Vera Cruz. Instead, it is said, the de-,
partment is expecting him to commit
some overt act which will make it
imperative for the United States to
move against him. And with that
eventuality in view, preparations for
the quick departure of a huge army
of invasion are being rushed, notwith'
standing the hope of the president and
Secretary Bryan that the Mexicans
will settle their own troubles.
Certainly military preparations IRE
going on rapidly. Orders rece"t,y Is.
sued by the war department f." 5000
coast artillerymen stationed a'o &. the
Atlantic coast to hold themselves In
readiness for departure for t South,
have resulted in unusual activity. Ar.
rangements are now so nearly com.
plete that the men can be moved on
short notice.

Charles w. Post a Suicide.

With a bullet from a rifle which he
had concealed, Charles w. Post, mil
lionaire manufacturer of cereal foods
killed himself at his winter home al
Santa Barbara, Cal.
Eyading a nurse who had been at
tending him since he returned from
the east a few weeks ago, he went ID
his apartment, placed the muzzle oil
the rifle in his mouth and pulled the
trigger with a toe.
Post was stricken i'll suddenly sew
eral months ago and hurried half
across the continent to Rochester

operation for appendicitis, which was
believed to threaten his life.
The operation, which was performed
on March 10, was considered success
full, and Mr.. Post returned home ap
parently cured.
The illness from which he suffered
was first manifested last December
At first it was considered recurrence
of a stomach trouble from which he
formerly suffered. Returning to Santa
Barbara recently, he was exceedingly

ZAPATA NEAR MEXICO CITY

Mutiny Reported In Capital and For.
eiqners Concentrate For Defense.
Credible private advices from Mex
leo City report that the Federals at
Topilejo, eighteen miles south of tie
capital, were attacked by the Zara
tistas.
The incident is regarded as an i'm
portant development by the authori,
ties in Vera Cruz. Zapata's mon had
come up from the south Unexpectedly
and had taken possession of the sum
nit of Mount Ajusco. The Federals,
who had gone out to drive them back.
were compelled tG charge up a deer
slope and were decidedly at disad'
vantage. Zapata had no artillery and
the Federals could not use any.
So far as could be learned, Zapata
was simply making a demonstration
of his power to get to the capital and
inspire terror among the inhabitants
rather than seeking decisive action
His men are all mounted and can
withdraw without difficulty to the
south when they have accomplished
what they have set out to do.
Further trouble was indicated by
reports said to have come by courier
from Paso del Macho that some OF
Huerta's troops in Mexico City had
already revolted.
The troops involved in the mutiny
were said to be those quartered in
the Piedad barrancks, near the centel
of the city. Several officers were re
ported to have been murdered by the
,-1rtineers.
fore loyal troops could be thought
mutineers fed from the city.
