El Paso, Texas, Sept. 23.-General
Villa is assisting materially as well
as morally Governor Maytorena in
his revolt in Sonora against the Car
rama government. This is the gen.
eral belief here.
This was evidenced tooay by the
departure of eight carloads of arms,
ammunition and military supplies
which the Villa officials are sending
directly to Maytorena's agents at
Nogales. Two of the cars have been
held here some months, but were re-
leased by American military authors
ties at the lifting OF the arms EN-
barge recently when yhe washington
government held that peace had been
established in Mexico at Carranza's
ascension to power at the national
capital The six other cars were sent
by Villa against the east, but instead
of being delievred at Juarez were
shipped on to Nogales. Nothing has
been heard from the Villa forces
which are on their way to Sonora by
an overland march along the border.
Carranza agents here heard today
that Maytorena was preparing to move
his forces from Nogales to attack the
constitutionalists' army under General
Hill, located near Naco.
General Juan Cabra' commissioned
to take over all military forces in
Sonora, has been recalled to Mexico
City by Carranza's orders.

paris, Sept. 23.-According to
official announcement given out in
paris this afternoon, the allies,
after severe fighting, advanced on
their western wing. They also
renulsed German attacks on their
eastern wing. sr
Harwich. England, Sept 23 (via Lon
dcn)-The Great Eastern hotel In
Harwich. which was converted early
IN the war into an army hospital, to-
dav is filled with men from the British
navy. It's cots are crowded with sur
vjvors of the three British cruisers
sunk yesterday in the North Sea by
German submarines.
According to the stories told by tne
survivors. the loss of life was heaviest
on the Aboukir. This vessel was not
expecting attack and many members
os her crew were below deck.
The other two vessels while appear
ing to aid their doomed sister, had
brought every available precaution to
her. One midshipman, no bigger than
a grammar school boy, related that
he was on board the Cressy, the last
of the British cruisers to go down.
The three vessels had been scouting,
he said. A slight mist over the water
oLscured the view. Suddenly the
Ahoukir seemed to keel over heavily.
All hands in the Cressy were called
and she stood by to render assistance.
The Hogue arrived first. Just as
she was swinging her small boats
over she seemed to be lifted clear OF
the water. BY this time the Aboukir
had gone down and the water around
her was filled with wreckage and
swimming men. Just as the Hogue
settled back into the water, the watch
ers on the Cressy caught a glimpse
of a submarine and Immediately fired
on it. The submarine disappeared
evidently hit.
Then, in the words of this midship-
man: "Our decks rippled beneath our
feet. but the good old tub recovered
her balance and would have stayed
up if we had not been torpedoed

Several survivors in the hospital

men. 1t seems that goodly number

A lieutenant who was on the Cressy

of the survivors were in the cold wa

severely from the effects of their i'm

Survivors on this side of the bay
declare that so far as they know the
officers and men at the Shotley hospi-
tai have few severe wounds. Surviv-
ing officers here agree that the total
number of men saved from the three
cruisers must be about number delay

orinion that the casualties in the en-
CINE room and stokeholes must have
been terribly heavy.

markable rescue work is today an

Washington, Sept 23.-President

ident of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company, that he believed it to be
the duty of the operators Of Colorado
to accept the basis for the settlement
of the strike proposed by federal

the question.
Welborn, the president declared he
-ccEld not act as the umpire betwes
the operators and the miners and that

Colorado was discussed and later It
was said the president would withdraw
the troops unless a satisfactory settle
ment was reached This was not veri-

strike. Mr.. Welborn told him that
the other operators were unable to
be present, but would write The

the other operators that could not
accept refusal of the plan.
Mr.. Welborn presented an aIterna-
tive plan for the solution of the strike
trouble but the president refused to
consider it, saying that he did not be-
lieve a compromise possible. The
president declared that the public in
terests demanded the end of the
strike and that 1t was the patriotic
duty of the mine operators to accept
the proposal.
Mr. Welborn declared after his in
terview with the president that the
question was still open and that he
wtuld report the result of his talk
to the other operators.

No News From France
No news concerning the fighting in
France was given out today except
the statement issued by the German
headquarters staff, which said that
the cathedral of Rheims was respected
until the French established an obser-
Vation on the spire to direct the
French artillery fire.
The Germans used shrapnel instead
shells to drive the observers from the
spire and the fire was stopped imme-
diately after this was accomplished.
Special dispatches from the eastern
fighting zone report that General Won
Hindenburg pursued the Russians I'M
til they reached the shelter Of the
guns Of a fortress. The Kovno roads
are reported to be quagmires. Cor

EnoIand Mourns ships Loss

London, Sept. 23.-iThe swift and 81
lent destruction of three big cruisers,
which cost $12.OOO,OOO, has brought
home the risks of modern naval war
fare. The unseen enemy crept on the
Aboukir, then the Hogue and then
the Cressy and one after another the
cruisers sank. The whole affair was
over in 90 minutes.
The survivors who have been
brought to Dutch and British ports
declare there were three German sub
marines in the attacking force, some
say five, and that the cruiser cressy,
or the last to go down. accounted for
two of them. The admiralty, howev-
er does not yet confirm the statement
that any of the German craft were
destroyed, and it is possible that none
was even seen.

that German columns, which in con-

have retreated northward.
It is reported, says the correspond
ent, that the German troops in the
fortified positions on the left bank of
the Vistula, on the frontier between

AUSTRIANSSHllN YEItOWNESS
TAKE TO FLleHF WHEN THEY
SEE THE YARE UNABLE TO
HOLD FORTRESS

London, Sept. 29.-The fall OF Jar
oslau, the Austrian fortified position
in Galicia, is regarded here as the
most decisive stroke announced from
the continental battlefields in the last
"a hours.
The Russian occupation of this i'm
pcrtant fortified railroad center is con-
sidered in London as likely to have
greater effect on events in the west
ern arena of the war than anything
re ported from France for several days
past. The Russian army which took
Jaroslau by storm is in hot pursuit
of the Austrians, who are reported to
be retreating on Cracow. AS Przemysl
is now isolated, it seems probable
that the Russians will be content to
mask this fortress, while they push
on to Cracow with a view of joining
up their forces preparatory to march
ing in the direction of Breslau. Fur
ther north the Russians, according to
Information reaching London, have re-
sumed the offensive against the Ger
mans in East Prussia, and they are
reported as again preparing to attack
Koenigberg, the ancestral home of the
kings of Prussia.
Battle Undecided
The twelfth day of fighting finds the
battle of the Aisne still swaying un-
decisively. The Germans, according
to British opinion, obviously hold the
advantage in heavy artillery and the
formidable natural position they oc-
cupy would render frontal attempt
to dislodge them an almost super
human task. Hence, importance is at
tached to the movement of the allied
army working to the eastward with a
view of outflanking General Won
Kluck's forces and threatening his
COillAluulCdllOn. L uC O0iuldu IlSut
already is reported in news dispatches
to have been turned, but confirmation
of this is still lacking.
Reports received here declare that
entrenched positions have been pre-
pared by the Germans along the river
Sambre for use in the event they are
compelled to retreat.
