GERMAN EM5AssADoR DECLARES
GERMANY WOULD NOT VIOLATE
MONROE DOCTRINE.
Suggests That as Canada lie Sending
Soldiers to Europe, We Should Not
Object Should Kaiser Land Armed
Force In Canada.

Washington.-Germany's right to
land troops in Canada, If possible, and
thus secure at least temporary foot
hold on the American continent, was
upheld Sunday by Count Won Bern
storff, German ambassador here. who
declared this would not be violation
Of the Monroe doctrine.
The ambassador suggested that, as
Canada was sending soldiers to Europe
to fight against his country, the Unit
ed States should not consider it In any
sense an infringement on the Monroe
doctrine If Germany should land an
armed force on Canadian soil
Discussing his now much-talked of
note of September to the state de-
partment here, explaining the attitude
OF the German government toward the
Monroe doctrine and giving assurances
that Germany was not contemplating
any South American colonization
schemes in event of victory over the
allies. the ambassador said only South
America was referred to at that time
because there never had been any
question raised as to possible German
attacks to seek colonization in any
other part Of the American hemis-
phere.

Mexico City.-Venustiano Carranza
submitted his resignation to the Aguas
Calientes convention on Tuesday. His
offer TO relinquish his post as supreme
chief of the nation, however, is condi-
tional on the retirement to private life
OF General Francisco villa.
In offering to resign, General Car
rama said he was actuated only by
the highest motives of patriotism and
that acceptance or rejection Of his Of
fer must depend on whether his elimi-
nation would contribute toward has
tening peace in the republic and fur
therance of true democratic ideas.
In discussing the tender of his res
ignation by General Carranza, high
government official said:
General Villa has charged General
Carranza with being a self-seeker who
desired to take advantage of an acct
dent and perpetuate himself in power.
General Carranza now shows his good
faith to the world by declaring that II
the personalities Of himself and Villa
are to be a check on peace and to
democratic progress In Mexico they
should both step down and out AS

Ell Paso, Texas.-A holy war; in
Mexico as counter revolution against
the Carranza-Villa embroglio has been
threatened, according to reports
brought here Monday by Americans
and Mexicans who arrived by various
routes from Guadalajara. They told Of
uprisings against the constitutionalist
authorities Of central Mexico led by
Mexican priests.
1t was indicated by local activities
that the "cientifico," or ex-federal eie-
ment, which flourished under the Diaz
and Huerta regimes, would combine
with the new movement in ousting the
constitutionalists who disagreed even
before the triumph of their revolution
The new movement was started at
Union de Tula. Jalisco state, when the
constitutionalists from the roof of the
cathedral waved at the populace a
bishops mitre and afterward confis-
Gated the church property. This act
SO enraged the people that, led by a
priest and the town mayor, they en-
gagged the soldiers in a running fight.
Soon the trouble spread to adjoining
towns located around Guadalajara, sec
ond largest city in Mexico and indus

try.
The residents of this district pro
claimed themselves in favor of the
villa revolution for the reason that
their grievances were directed against

from French, British and Belgian
troops.
The losses on both sides continue
to be in proportion to the fierceness
Of the battle, which means that they
are greater than those In any battle
since war was declared, now nearly
three months ago.
Along the coast, where the allies
have the assistance Of French and
British warships, they have apparent
ly more than held their own, and
after infiicting very heavy losses on
the Germans, have compelled them to
try for an opening further inland. Up
until Tuesday the allies had been
forced to give way at some points. but
on Tuesday, according to the French
official communication, they have
succeeded in holding their positions
at every point, from the mouth Of the
User to the Lens district, and again
have advanced between Ypres and
Roulers, where there has been some
Of the sternest lighting of this san
culinary battle and where the British
Indian troops have made thier first
appearance in the firing line.
The opposing forces are so strong
that 1t must be many days before a
decisive result is attained by either
side, despite the great losses which
they are suffering and which grow
greater as report follows report.
Along the old front, stretching from
the river Disc to the Meuse, from
which the Germans withdrew their
best troops to strengthen the army
which is attempting to advance along
the coast, the French have been TAX
ing the offensive, and to the north OF
Scissors have been engaging in an ar
tillery duel with the Germans, in
which they destroyed several of the
German batteries. They seem to
have been playing at this game for
some time, for the last three reports
from Paris have announced the de-
Btruction of German guns.
Further east, the offensive tactics
OF the French have driven the Ger
mans who we're threatening Nancy
back across the frontier. The Ger
mans, however, are SO strongly in
trenohed along this long line that 1t
Is believed they are preparing to re.

sitions until their present detectives,
the northern ports of France, have

Very serious battles also are pro-
ceeding in southern Poland and in
Galicia, without deGllive result. The
Russians, however, have crossed the
Vistula north Of IVangorod with a
fresh army corps, which should have
a marked effect on the fortunes of the
battle. They appear from their own
account to be breaking down the re-
sistanee Of the Austrians south OF
Przemsyl and throughout Galicia,
where fighting of the most stubborn
character has been going on for
