London, Aug. 12-7:10 D. m.-The admiralty has sent out cruisers to- ply the Atlantic and protect trade routes. The French government also has sent out warships to search for German cruisers.
 "The enemy's ships" says the of ficial admiralty report, will be hunt ed continually and although some time may elapse before they are run down they will be kept too busy to do much mischief
 "A number of fast merchant yes sels fitted and armed at British arse ma s, also are patrolling the routes and keeping them clear of German commerce raiders. With every day that passes British control of trade routes, especially those of the At lantic, becomes stronger In the North sea, where the Germans have scattered mines indiscriminately and where the most formidable opera tions of the naval war are proceed ing the admiralty can give no reas- suranances."

BELG|UM'S ALLIES
 MAY SOON STRIKE
Forward Movement of Germans To- wards Brussels Believed to be a Stragetic Opening and Decisive Battle Is Imminent.

Brussels, via Paris, Aug. 12-5 p. m.)-on the report that operations on extensive scale were imminent a correspondent by permission of the war department. made trip along twenty miles of the Belgian front, visiting the extreme advance and talking with officers and men.
 The Belgians are on the alert as important bodies of German cavalry are passing through the country above Lieee, proceeding in the d. reetion of Tongres and St. Trond.
 The impression of the correspon. dent is that no heavy fighting is likely in Belgian Limburg, where the Germans have little or no infantry. By the opposition offered by the Bel gian troops at Lieee the Germans lost precious time which was profta5ly employed by the French and British in concentrating masses at conven,- ent points
 The allied forces have been so ds- possed as 10 fortify positions at many chief points and little or nothing has been done around Brussels and it s thought the city is being used as a bait to attract the Germans.
 ii is certain vast preparations have been made by the allies now spread out for battle and they are likely to move quickly when the hour somes to strike.

Washington Aug. 12.-General Carranza has ordered he'd at Tampi- co large shipment of ammunition consigned to General Villa, accord ing to official advices today to the Washington government.
 For many weeks Villa has been re- cruiting and buying ammunition and , Carranza has not objected to ship ment of munitions via Tampico. To day, however, he called a halt.
 Reports of increasing friction be- tween the two constitutionalist lead CTS reached here today from various sources. General Villa sent to per sons here a synopsis of the reasons why he is displeased with Carranza' $
 attitude. He sets forth that he will , insist on carrying out the agret,nent recently reached at Torreon when the breach tentatively was adjusted. Villas demands in brief are: First-That civil instead of mil itary government be established throughout Mexico and general election be conducted by it. that no military chief be provisional presi- dent and that no military chief be provisional governor of any state. Villa himself is military governor Of Chihuahua, from which post 1e Is willing to retire and he wants Carranza to retire as first clTef.
 Secondhand reforms should be put into effect in accord with the Meyi. can constitution and in a lawful ana orderly way.
 Third-The present federal army should be dissolved but it's meritor- ious officers and men be taken over into the new army of the republic composed of the constitutionalst forces.
 Fourth-Amnesty shall be given all political offenders except those directly responsible for the over throw of Madero and Suarez.
 The first of Vilia's demands is eX- actly opposite from Carranzas ore. viously announced program. The entire plan, as given out by close friends of Villa, shows that the fight ing general has drafted scheme with which the present federal army and especially the generais now sup porting the Carbajal government are entirely in sympathy. Officials, ln- cidentally, have been advised that while the federal army is evacuating Mexico City to allow a peacuful en- try of the constitutionalist without subjecting non-combatants in the capital to the dangers of 8 battle the federal forces estimated at 10000 have not finally determined what 10 do. The federals want guarantees and General Velasco, minister of war to Carbajai, has intimated in an of ticial communication to Carranza that if guarantees are not given and amnesty declared a counter reyoIu- tion undoubtedly will follow and an effort be made to join forces with Villa.
 George c. Carothers, special agent of the State Department with Gen eral Villa has left here after many conferences with Secretary Bryan and will resume his work of reporting to the American government on the activities of Villa.
