BY w. H. DURBoRoUGH.

1t was a big surprise to me to hear
that Gen. Carranza's commission had
fixed the blame for the death of the
Englishman, Vim. S. Benton, on Maj.
Fferro, but was also glad to know
that Gen. Villa, who treated me so
well while / was campaigning with
the rebels, had been exonerated of
the murder.
When first met Fierro he was on
the staff of Gen. Villa at Juarez. A
few days later he was appointed
trainmaster of all trains operating
with Gen. Villas army. He did his
work well at the battle of Terra Blan-
cha, keeping the water, provision and
hospital trains moving between
Juarez and the battlefield in fine
shape.
l spent a great deal of time with
him in Chihuahua after Villas army
entered the town, and on several oc-
casions he called for me with his ma
chine and showed me the town and
points of interest.
His worst failing was that he drank
more than was good for him, but l
never saw him violent, and 1 am in
clined to think Benson must have at
tempted to escape or done something
exasperating to incide Fierro to muir
der him.
The rebels, like most Mexicans,
have-no love for Americans, but they
look on correspondents and photog-
raphers from our side as necessary
evils and let them move about in
peace. However, nothing delights
them so much as to throw scare
into an American.

Turkish Ambassador Appeals to Ameri-

A unique appeal TO the people OF

Of newspaper humorists in dealing with

yesterday by a. Rustem Bey. Turkish
Ambassador to the United States, as fol-

terrible anxieties and doubts Of those
who have not yet been dragged into the

Turkey has come in for much of
this journalistic pleasantly. Speaking
for my country. l will say that while

the writers of the funny column I'M
doubtedly possess a large measure of

precious than wit, to see in the dis

an occasion for inducing laughter or
even smiles. Hatred, revenge, envy,

STANLEY, ONCE ACTOR,
Is NOW TRAFFIC COP
He Swings Baton on Street Corner,
Instead of Carrying Spear on
Dramatic Stage.

This is the story of Buell. Stanley. this
statuesque traffic cop at Fourteenth
street and New York avenue, who gave
up the stage and the battlefield to be a
policeman.
Before the Spanish-American war Stan
ley was an actor of parts. specializing in
Shakespeare without 4 spear. He even por-
trayed the part Of Brutus in julius
Caesar but the call TO arms in '9S took
him to Cuba. and when he got back the
theatrical game had lost its appeal.
If you watch him in action some hot
afternoon, you can grab on a grand idea
of how the part of Titus in Nirginius
should be played. He motions cars and
cabs straight from the shoulder. and
traffic handling is not an easy job
around the Bond Building corner, either.
Stanley also is an inventor Of some sue
cess.

FRANZ JOSEPS
ARMY CRUSHED
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE

| feated the Germans at Gumbinnen ten
days ago, is now reported TO be investing
the fortress Of Koenigsburg, and has sue
! cessfully repulsed several sOrties of the
German garrison.
Three crushing defeats inflicted on the
Austrians during the last three weeks
should put their armies completely out OF
action for an offensive campaign during
the remainder OF the war. The Russians
have little to fear of any further attempt
| to take in the flank Of their army ad-
\ vancing on Posen.
The position Of the Austrian armies de-
! feated at Lemberg and Lublin seems very
precariOus. A rapid Russian advance
west from Lemberg would catch the
northern army in the flank and rCrhaps
succeed in cutting of its retreat
In Eastern Prussia the Russians claim
to have defeated and driven back :he
German corps which were successful
against Samsonoff and reoccupied the old
ground.
The Germans are being strongly re-en
forced in Eastern Prussia and it is GER
tain that the Russians will meet with
strenuous resistance before they succeed
in clearing the roads TO Berlin.
There was tonight absolutely no fresh
news from the allies left wing except
that the German advance on Paris seems
to have come TO an abrupt standstill.
Further movement on Paris doubtless has
been held up until some decisive success
has been won against the two French
armies, one southwest Of Mezteres and
the other further east at SpincouTt and
Longuyon, which recently has been en-
gagged with that of the crown prince.
There is a report from Berlin OF the
greatest battle in the history OF the
world taking place between Mezteres and
Verdun on Wednesday last. We do not
know II these armies are still fighting
or what the result of the action has been.
1t is the most crucial operation of the
war up to the present.
The further German advance on Paris
is. for the moment, dependent on the re-
suit of these operations south of Ar
dcnnes. A decisive French victory there
would almost certainly oblige the German
right to retire on Belgium.

PUT IN Peril BY
FALL Of NAMUR
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

OF unprecedented power was a well-kept
German secret. 1t not only changed the
entire plans of the allies, but 1t undOubt-
eddy has changed and prolonged and
made more decisive the whole European
war.
The Anglo-French line stood the first
shock of the impact with the flower OF
the German army after the fortresses
fell at Namur and for two days held back
the enemy and prevented them breaking
through the allies lines and forcing the
passage of the Sambre River
Until Namur fell the French intended
to make n counter attack through Ar
dennes wood. PivOting on Namur. With
Namur gone a purely defensive campaign
was imposed because the German siege
guns had opened n gap about seven
miles wide beyond Namur. giving the
Germans command of all bridges
The pressure Of the Germans upon the
retreating force was kept up. 1t was
an astonishingly impetuous advance. The
allies reformed their lines thirty miles
to the south on a line from Cambria
to Lecateau. This retreat was not due

ward the southwest.
1T was fearfully criticised at the
time because the Germans were all the
time hurting men at the left Of this line
trying 10 get dTOuIlu DtLlilu II anu Turn
the allies left flank.
Flank Movement Fails.
IF the Germans had been successful
they would have won a great battle. II
the brunt Of this attack had not happened
to fall on the best 10000 men taken all
in all. in the French army. and If the
British troops had not been seasoned
regulars who could be sent back but not
broken up by superior numbers, then the
battle would have been lost by the allies.
The allies line falling back. fiuctuated
in a curious and even in a dangerous way.
1t was bent far from the intended de-
fensive position, but it was never out
hanked.
"Of u,OOO casualties reported out Of
50, 900 men engaged at this point the great
majority are merely missing men who
could not keep up with the terribly ar
duous retreat, being wounded or cut
off from the rest. Many of these will
surely turn up later.
'On the fifth day OF the battle, our
left flank having been strengthened, the
Germans changed their whole game and
concentrated in an effort t. break
through the allies center at la Fere
and at Soignies. This again failed after
very hard fighting.
THE German advance is now in con-
tact with the outer jefenses Of Paris.
The allies are still intact and in much
better uosition than they were tactically

the news OF the military operations In
the European war:
"Chalons-sur- Marne-A town of North
eastern France, 1O7 miles east OF Paris,
on the main line of the Eastern Railway
to Nancy. The population Is approx
mateIy 5000. Huge military barracks lie
to the north and east. The principal in
dustry is brewing, and galleries of i'm
mense length, hewn in a limestone hill
and served by lines OF railway, are used
as storehouses for beer. The plains near
Chalons were the scene OF the defeat OF
Atilla the Hun in the fifth century. The
Army OF Chalons," formed by Marshal
MacMahon in the camp at this place,
after the first reverses Of the French in
1870. surrendered at Sedan. The military
camp is still used as a training center
for troops.
Plombieres-A town of Eastern
France. seventeen miles south OF Epi-
nal and twenty three miles from the
Alsace border. situated at the height
OF 1.140 feet in a picturesque valley OF
the Augronne. 1t is well known for
its mineral springs, the waters OF
which were utilized by the Romans
during the Middle Ages. Napoleon III
built the most important OF the bath
ing establishments.
"Elbing-An East Prussian seaport
town, forty-nine miles by rail east OF
southeast of DanZiE, on the Elbing. a
small river which flows into the
Frische Han about 1--WE miles from the
town. Its population is about $4,000.
In 1898, and again in 1903, II was seized
by the elector OF Brandenburg as a Sc
curity for a debt. Charles XIII of
Sweden held ii for ransom, and the
Russians captured IL in ITO. In 1T72
II fell to Prussia through the first par
tition of Poland. At the great
Schichau ironworks in Elbing are built
most of the torpedo boats and destroy
ers for the German navy. as well as
IArger crafts. locomotives and ma
