GENERAL VILLA
AND CARRANzA
ARE IN HARMONY
Rapid Adjustment of the
Affairs of the New Gov
eminent of Mexico Being
Brought About.

Washington, Sept. 12.-Reassurances
of perfect harmony between Carranza
and Villa and of rapid adjustment OF
affairs to the new government in Mex
leo were contained in a formal state
ment issued tonight by Carranza
through the junta here.
The statement is calculated to dis
sipate the expressions of fear of a
break earlier in the day when ii was
learned here that Carranza had or
dered Villa to command the army of
the Isthmus OF Tehuantepec. This was
regarded as a move on Carranzas part
to minimize the possibility of Villa
revolt by removing the general from
the seat of his popularity in the north
and sending him to obscurity in south
ern Mexico, where his influence would
be greatly reduced.
The junta declared the statement is
the first authentic summary of condi-
lions since the constitutionalists took
charge of the government. 1t brands
as false the report of outrages ana IN
cipient revolutions published from time
to time throughout the United States.
1t is flatly denied that the port of Vera
Cruz has been closed to commerce.
The stability of the new govern
stated, by the support of an army of
100, 900 men, splendidly equipped and
animated with the unselfish spirit or
patriotism.
THE constitutionalists are working
amicably together and with the single
purpose of establishing permanent
peace and stable government. Gen
eral Villa is working in perfect har-
mony and genuine subordinatfon. by
reason of his laudable and patriotic
attitude and in view of his high merit
I have just promoted him to the rank
of divisional general.
"a large constitutionalist army was
dispatched to the Isthmus of Tehuan-
tepec. 1 have recalled 5000 OF the
troops because conditions were so
peaceful and friendly there as not TO
necessitate their presence. The ex-
aggerated reports relative TO the Aapa-
tatista activities are unfounded. Small
marauding bands acting merely on
their own initiative in the states OF
PuebIa and Mexico have been routed
and all but exterminated
"Peace and the best of harmony now
prevails throughout the zone controlled
nv the constitutionalists which virtual
Iv covers the entire republic. Little
friction has attended the mastering out
of the federal army, The last step OF
this occurred recently in Tehuantepec
and the states Of Tabasco and
Puebla with the result that the entire
federal army has been peacefully dis
persed."
Regarding the decree revoking orders
for seizure of property Carranza said 1t
does not mean that he intends to wrest
from the people property rights; the
action was taken simply as measure
to prevent cliques and factions of
trouble makers and revolution brewers
from using the immunities for their
own personal ends.
Carranza denied that any federal Of
ficers had been shot.

SEVEN DUNCAN PUPILS
COME FROM GERMANY

New York, Sept 12.-Of all the refu-
gees flocking to New York from war
ridden Europe none proved more in
teresting than seven little girls of all
nationalities who came over in the
steerage of a vessel with Miss Eliza
beth Duncan, sister of the famous Isa-
dora Duncan, dancer. The children are
pupils of Miss Duncan, who had a
school in Germany in which she taught
the children the Duncan idea" of
living.
Miss Duncan says she was served
notice by the German government that
they intended using her school room
for a hospital and for her to send her
pupils home. She sent % of them home

fully. Manhattan housewives who
never before in their lives carried
home a package from the grocery are
falling in line with the movement to
batter down the high prices set on food
stuffs in stores soon after the out
break of the European war. They
visit one of the public market places
daily and buy practically everything
they need for the table direct from the
producer, at prices considerably lower
than charged by their grocers for an
inferior quality OF stuff.
Farmers and produce raisers all
around New York are also joining in
with Marks scheme. The space that
has been set aside for them by the
city is fast being taken up. Marks
first obtained four places from the city
where farmers and produce dealers
could operate stands free of charge.
The demand for stalls soon became so
great that he has had to establish new
stations. He is adding to his present
list daily as fast as he can and at the
present rate it will not be long before
there will be public market stands from
one end OF New York TO the other.
That grocers are viewing the new
movement with fear Is apparent by the
way prices are coming down. Many of
them are slashing prices recklessly
since the public market stands were
opened.
Fort Lee Ferry is providing one of
the busiest of the market stands. The
farmers can reach that point easiest
and every morning there are many
there with wagonloads of produce.
They chalk up their prices so that all
housewives can see and they usually
sell out their wares before midday.

OPPOSITION TO
THE FREIGHT TAX
IN LOWER HOUSE

Washington, Sept. 12.-Unless Pres
ident Wilson brings strong pressure
to bear the Democrats of the house
probably will override at a party eau
Gus early next week the emergency
revenue bill proposing taxation of rail-
road freight. Opposition to the feat
ure of the bill became so strong
among the rank and file late today
that a sufficient number of signatures
We're obtained to call a caucus. and
present plans are to hold a party con-
fab Monday or Tuesday night.
At this caucus Representatives
Kitchin and Garner, members of the
ways and means committee, VIII lead
a movement to defeat the freight tax
provision. They Sought the item in
committee but the presidents fnflu-
ence caused it's approval by a vote or
six to five Instead of taxing freight
the Kitchin- Garner contingent will
propose that in addition to the taxation
of beer and wines already agreed upon,
the emergency rev .nue bill shall pro-
vide for an assessment against liquors.
incomes, inheritances, automobiles and
cigarettes. 1t was estimated today
that sos, COO, 900 could be raised in this
way, although the president already
has disapproved of the proposed half
per cent increase in the normal income
tax rate and the lowering of the eX-
emption. The movement to hold a
party caucus came on the heels of the
announcement by Democratic Leader
Underwood this afternoon that the in
PRODUCTION of the revenue bill would be
postponed until the president returns
to Washington from Cornish, the mid
die of next week. Aware of strong OPP
position to a railroad freight tax
which amounts practically to a revolt
among some Democrats-Underwo
does not propose to introduce the rev.
enue bill until the president has for
mally signified his approval of it.
The president viii probably he asked
to write a letter to the Democratic
caucus in order to save the bill as il
was agreed upon several days ago by
narrow majority of the Democrats
of the ways and means committee.

COST OF WAR IN
EUROPE PLACED AT
FORTY BILLIONS
Judge Gary Returns From
Theater of the Conflict
Says America Will Be Po-
tent Factor.

New York Sept. 12.-Outside OF the
loss in human life which it is impos-
sble to estimate. Judge e. H. Gary,
chairman of the board of the United
States Steel Corporation, declared to-
night that the estimate of the none
tary cost of the European war at
$4,000, 100000 is perhaps conserva-
tive The result is certain to be very
serious everywhere.
The judge, who returned from Paris
on the liner France, has personally
visited the French theater of war. He
told a remarkable story of experiences
from the days Immediately before the
general mobilization up to the day he
sailed for home. Much of it already
had been covered in the cables, but the
economic opinions were new in Amer
tea.
statistics have been published" he
said, showing the actual expenditures
of the war amount to 10000 coo daily;
and this is perhaps conservative as
the indirect loss will be fully equal TO
the direct stupendous and immediate
cost to the nations engaged. And the
unfaVorable result on the economic
conditions on other nations which will
be realized sooner or later is of great
magnitude. The destruction of prop
erty reaching millions of dollars will
be felt through the entire world.
America Viii Be Factor.
Add to this the consequences of the
awful destruction of human life and
1t is understood how much we. as
Americans, are interested in a speedy
termination of the war. II nothing Is
done by this government or by her
influence. she will be a potent factor
in the solution of the worlds greatest,
deadliest and most expensive con-
flict
1T is to he expected because usually
in times Of war there win be gross
misrepresentation concerning the con-
duct of contending armies, that
charges of atrocities will be made.
Some times statements are made that
are fictitious. and again representa-
tions in which there is some basis of
truth, are enlarged beyond the actual
facts. We should, I think. wait for
thorough inquiry and positive proof
before reaching conclusions on such
charges"
The thing that impressed Judge
Gary, he said, was the unanimlty of
all parties in France after war actu-
ally was declared. Even the Social
lists, he said, following the staying of
NJ Juares, who had declared against
war. became a unit in the support of
the government.
Judge Gary paid high tribute to the
work of Ambassador Myron T. Herrick
and. Consul General Thakara, who. he
said, worked not less than 16 hours
a day to care for the interests of
Americans.

New orlx, Sept. 1.-THE French Of
fensive. for which French military
schools have prepared their scholars
above everything else, has had an OPP
portunity during the week to demon
strate its effectiveness. The result has
been a general defeat FOR the Ger
mans along the battle nne running
eastward 100 miles from the suburbs
of Paris.
Three reasons account for the sud
den check of the Germans. First,
their right wing, under General Won
Kluck, seems to have moved so rap
idly as to have lost touch with the
rest of the German army; second the
French were able to utilize large part
Of the Paris garrison as a. field force,
thus giving them a numerical super
iority; third. the difficult nature of
the ground was a handicap to the Ger
mans, because of their unfamiliarity
with it,
These three causes necessitated an
immediate German defensive after Won
Klucl's army reached the environs of
Paris. How it happened that the Ger
man right wing overran the rest Of 1.-THE
invaders battle line, there is no means
of telling, but 1t seems obvious a very
costly blunder was committed some
where.
