TWO DISPATCHES REPORT
FLIGHT OF CARRANZA
AND SURRENDER PLANS

Ell PASO. Texas. Dec. 26.-Dis-
patches received here from two inde-
pendent sources in Mexico City carry
reports that Gen. Nenustiano Carranza
has fled from Vera Cruz and that ne
gotiauons are being conducted for the
surrender of that port 10 the forces OF
Gen. Villa.
They state that i'm battle fought
Friday morning just west of Vera Cruz
the Carranza troops were forced to
fall back and that large numbers Of
chem surrendered to the Nillaistas
under the pledge that their lives would
be spared.
The two dispatches differ as to the
manner of Gen. Carranza's 5 flight one
says that he fed south from Vera
CrIR, apparently with the intention Of
going TO Puerto Mexico; the other de-
clares he went aboard a vessel that
had been kept in the harbor of Vera
Cruz To serve as his refuge.

IieVe SiIeSia.

BERLIN. Dec 26.-Though admit
ting that the Russians are Offering
desperate resistance to the Germans
in Poland. Berlin military experts de-
clare that the troops OF Field Maj
shal Won Hindenberg are making
steady progress and point out that the
advance to LubocZ shows the Ger
mans have gone 43 miles down the
Pilica river valley toward the Nistula
Sitting of the official reports from
Poland shows that the Germans have
won no overwhelming victory there
and no claims are now being made to
that effect The effect of the Ger
man advance. however, has been two
fold. 1t has kept Silesia from the
menace and is threatening Warsaw.
Berlin experts are building the high
est hopes on Gen. Won Hindenberg's
exploits. Despite the early exaggera-
tiOn of the Russian retreat in Poland,
they anticipate the fall Of Warsaw at
an early date with a consequent Grip
ping of the AUSsian army for months
This, they declare, will strengthen
the offensive in the west through the
addition of troops sent from the east
The foregoing dispatch was passed
by the German censor. 1t is the first
received from Berlin substantiating
the Russians declaration that they
were not routed in Poland.

only $500, 900. The Secretary of State
reports the motor vehicle fees for 1918
