Rather Have Villa Take the Capitol Than the
Cruel Zapata-Villa Agents Planning
Capture of Capitol

VERA CRUZ, May 6.-Utter chaos
reigns in Mexico City, according to
refugees who continue to arrive here
q few at time. An anti-Huerta re-
volt is unquestiOnably imminent, they
said. The dictator is declared to be
drinking heavily again and is in an
irresponsible and dangerous condition.
The people there are beginning to
realize that the city's capture by Gen.
eraI villa is seriously threatened.
But what they fear more is that Gen.
eraI Zapata will capture it first. OF
General Villa and his men they are
afraid, but of Zapata and his infinitely
crueler followers, they are literally
in abject terror.
Police Planning Revolt.
The police is another source of wor-
ry to Huerta who is said to know that
there are Villa agents among them
but he hesitates at an attempt to dis
arm them lest it precipitate an out
break on their part. There are rumors
that the Villa agents among them are
planning to seize the capital.

WOMEN CLAIM HONORS
FOR DEMOCRATIC LOSSES
Suffrage Campaigns Aided in Defeat
of congressman, They Say.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-while suftra-
Eist leaders today claimed a big share in
the defeat that overlook the Democratic
party on Tuesday, the Administration de-
clined to admit women had any effect in
the campaign.
Anti-suffragists declined to comment on
claims Of their opponents, but pointed
smilingly TO sufficient failure to carry
some Of the States in which they had
campaigned.
Secretary Tumulty, when he heard
suffrRgsts were claiming their declaration
Of war on all Democratic candidates was
responsible for the big cut in the House
majority, smiled.
"I don't believe the women had much
to do with IT," he said, land their influ-
ence, II II was felt, made itself apparent
In few Western and Middle Western
States. I do not believe 1t can be taken
into consideration as a factor, however"
The liquor interests in Ohio and Mis-
souri,, according to Miss Alice Paul, OF
the Congressional Union for Woman Suf-
frage, defeated the suffrage movement in
those States
I'm Ohio" said Miss Paul, I'VE did not
expect to win. The liquor interests of
the State spent thousands OF dollars in
the election and our movement was

Dixmude and River Lys
Show Lessened Energy as
Allies Stifen Defending
Forces.
Berlin Statement Says Kaiser's
Armies Have Gained All Along
Line, Though Paris Lays Claim
to General RepuIses.

The Allies have crossed the User
and advanced to the northeast along
the coast, according to the official
statement in Paris this afternoon.
Apparently the Germans are aban-
doning their coastal operations along
the road to Nieuport entirely and have
retired several miles inland. They are
reported as concentrating heavy land
and naval forces at Bruges, which is
connected with the sea by big canal
to Zeebrugge.
The Kaiser's attacks between Dix
nude and the Lys are declared to be
decreasing in energy and further
south, around La Bassee, the Allied
line is said to be holding firm, with
progress at some points.
An advance is announced at Ques-
nay, near Roye. In the centre, be-
tween the Meuse and the Moselle,
fresh artillery duels are reported.
The Germans are apparently
gaining slowly on Ypres from the
south. They were last reported at
Missines. Now a Belgian statement
indicates the Allies have fallen back
to Wytschaete, a mile and half to
the north.
The British also are hurrying every
available man to this region, bring
ing up fresh troops from England and
veterans from the Somme.
Great Britain declared war on
Turkey, and the Turkish Envoy left
London. 1t is expected the declara-
tions will be made by all the allied
Powers.
Russian advances farther into
Asiatic Turkey are reported from
Petrograd. The Turkish forces are
fleeing before the fierce charges of
Cossack invaders, and a number of
towns have been captured
Turkish troops are gathered on the
Egyptian border but have not
crossed, says a Cairo report. The
British have heavy force prepared
10 meet the invasion.
The Russian Black Sea fleet has
driven the Turkish squadron back to
its base in the Bosporus, according
to Petrograd official reports. The
Turks refuse to fight.
Japanese warships are reported on
their way to the South American
coast to engage the German feet
which smashed the British off Cor
onel. The Japanese craft were at
Easter Island shortly after the Ger
man fleet coaled there. Another big
naval battle is expected
The German cruiser Yorck has been

a chain of mines yesterday in the en-
trance of Jade Bay is given in an official
statement today Jade Bay is guarded

Only $50 men are reported saved, as rescue
work was difficult, owing to the thick fog
No confirmation has been received of
the sinking Of the Koenigsberg In the
Indian Ocean.
Reports of the loss of two German
brought hope to England today that the
tide of victory on the seas, which thus
far has been flowing in favor of Ger
many, had begun to turn.
The Yorck was placed in commission
in 1906 Her displacement was $500 tons,
and she had a speed of 81 knots.
The Koenlgsberg, which, according to
the London Times, has been put out of
action in the Indian Ocean" was pro-
tected cruiser laid down in 1905. She had
a displacement of 334S tons and speed
of 23.6 knots. The Koenigsberg carried
ten 4.1-inch guns and two machine guns.
Her crew numbered 822 men.
Like the cruiser Emden, the Koenigs-
berg has been harrying British shipping
in the South Seas. She sank the liner
City of Winchester near the entrance to
the Gulf of Alden on August g. and dis
ahled the British cruiser Pegasus In the
harbor of Zanzibar on September 20,
The British and Japanese ships that
have been hunting the Emden have also
been conducting q search for the Koenigs-
berg
Unconfrmed reports were current here
today that naval battle had taken place
in the North Sea and that a number of
ships had been sunk. but It was stated at
the Admiralty that these rumors were
without foundation.

CITY LOSES $4,000
THROUGH COUNCILS
LAXITY, MAYOR SAYS
Municipal Funds Draw Only
2Per Cent. Interest, While
Education Board Gets 4
Per Cent. Return.

Philadelphia has lost $4,000 in the last
year by the failure of Councils to re-
quire 2l5 per cent. interest on municipal
deposits, according to a message to both
branches by Mayor Blankenburg today.
In another message the Mayor reveals
the fact that eight fremen In the Bureau
of Charities are working for $3.50 a year
each, while assistant matrons are en-
Dloyed at salaries as low as $500 a year.
The Mayor asks for an appropriation OF
$1,000 to investigate the question of To-
eating q Pennsylvania Railroad freight
yard In Overbrook, in another message.
Until such investigation be concluded he
asks that no further action be taken
on the necessary ordinance now before
Councils.
WHY CITY LOSES.
Mayor Blankenburg's message referring
to interest on city deposits calls attention
to various previous communications on
this subject 1t points out money has
been returning not lower than per cent.
for bank loans and as high as per cent.
and more for mercantile paper for some
months. In the face of these conditions.
the city Is getting but per cent, interests
ON its deposits.
There Is no excuse" says the Mayor,
"for permitting city money TO draw only
2 per cent. interest. You may know that
the Board of Education has placed part
of it's fund in trust companies at per
cent. Why the city should receive only
half as much cannot be explained by con-
tinued refusal TO ask for a higher rate.
Immediate action should be taken,
especially in view of the prevailing un-
I'm many of our industries.
The city would have received $4,000 addi-
tIonal interest II my request had been
acted upon favorably a year ago. This
sum means q great deal for the many
people now out of work, who could be
given employment with this additional
amount in the City Treasury"
The Mayor in another communication
refers 10 the fact that Chairman Connolly,
OF the Finance Committee, is quoted as
having said on the floor OF Councils on
october that the executive officers have
been preparing requests to Councils TO In
crease salaries by Ei,55o,ss7fS TO for the COM
ing year" ,.
IT am quite sure" declares the Mayor,
the gentleman must have been misquoted,
as II Is quite impossible that such state
ment should ever have been seriously
made. In order, however, that you may
not be pretudiced or misinformed In your
consideration OF the budgets
for 1915 submitted by the departments
under the Mayor, l would state for your
that the increases In salaries
asked by these departments are as iol-
