Locke Drives In Race.
The buggy race, one-haIf mile, also
held the interest Of Keokuk people
for the reason that George E. Locke,
who would rather drive a race horse
than eat, held the reins behind a
fairly good animal. Locke drove Dan
Gallan, a horse which had some class
several years age and is well known
in this locality. The owner was In to

NEW YORK. Sept I6.-Sir Lionel

New York City Association as having

TO
KEEP FREDERICK
FROM METZ BASE
Relief of Troyon Forerunner OF
Great StrategicaI Cam
paign.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Sept. 16.-The centre OF
interest in the western theatre of
the war has shifted from the right
wing of the German army under
General Won Kluck, to the left wing,
where the relief of Troyon by the
French Is regarded in London as
leaving the army of the German
crown prince, Frederick William, ap-
parently in a dangerous situation.
AS had been predicted in England,
the French have retaken Rheims, but
this step Is of greater moral than
strategical value, for the line to the
northeast of this town provides n
better defensive position for the Ger
man forces than does the front
marked by Rheims itself.
According to advices received here
from Berlin. the demand for news in
Germany, where the people appear to
be growing impatient, has been
soothed to a certain extent by the
reassuring statement from the gen.
eral staff that the German line is
holding out successfully against the
offensive movements of the allies. So
far as the last twenty-four hours are
concerned this information agrees
with news received in London, with
the exception of that regarding the
German left wing. This part of the
line, judging from dispatches made
public in London, appears not only
to have Withdrawn from the invest
ment of Verdun, but by permitting
the relief of Troyon, which Is twelve
miles southeast OF Verdun, to have
left itself only one line of retreat.
This is through the Stenay gap, to
reach Luxembourg, or by way of
Longuyon. and Longwy to reach
Thionville (Diedenhofen).

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Prepara-
tons were being made here today for
the withdrawal of the American
military forces from Vera Cruz, who
have held the city since last may, in
accordance with President Wilson'S
order of evacuation,
Transports at Newport News and
Galveston were under orders today to
proceed as soon as possible to Vera
Cruz TO take the forces on board. A
short while afterward the battleship
fleet now stationed in Mexican
waters, will be withdrawn, formal or
ders for which have not yet been is
sued.
The total forces at Vera Cruz under
General Funston include 200 soldiers
and marines, the latter to go back to
warships and stations from which
they were taken, while the former are
to return to Texas City. Their de-
parture is expected to begin within q
fortnight
The order of evacuation was decided
upon at cabinet meeting. following
receipt of an urgent appeal from Gen
eral Carranza, head of the Constitu-
tionalists, who asserted that the pres
enee of American troops constituted a
constant menace to the friendly rela
tions between Mexico and the United
States.
Belief on the part of the President
and the cabinet that further presence
of American forces was not necessary
because of the removal of circun-
stances thought to justify occupation
led to the issuance of the order. In
administration circles today it was
generally believed that the action of
the President soon would restore nor
NAL conditions in Mexico.
Secretary Bryan today awaited re-
sponse from General CarranZa to his
inquiry for the names of competent
persons to be designated to take over
the customs house at Vera Cruz and
the municipal government there.
Secretary Garrison said today no
orders had been issued for the with
drawal of the border patrol. The
troops are now engaged in maneu-
vers, and 1t was intimated that when
those exercises are completed the
organizations may return to their
home stations.
