London, Sept. 1.-THE first stage of
the battle of the Marne, which, from
the numbers OF fighting men engaged
and the extent OF the line of battle
and terrific slaughter, is perhaps cor
rectly described as the battle of the
ages" appears to have been won by
! the French and British armies, but
the main German army is still intact
and the supreme clash is still to come.
The present week may see even
more desperate encounters than any
which have yet taken place.
Metz, the capital of Lorraine, and a
chain Of forts thence to Diedenhofen
on the Moselle, seventeen miles north
of Metz, form a strong pivot for the
German left, while river courses and
dense forests on the frontier, together
with strategic roads, give the German
army Of invasion. now in retreat, a
splendid opportunity for defensive ac-
ton should the French pursuit extend
this far.
Military observers forsee all kinds Of
perplexing possibilities in the event of
the Germans regaining the positions
they held before they started the rush
of a million and n half men on to
Paris, particularly should they succeed
in retrieving any of the large por-
tion of their losses in personnel.

Wilson's Mexican ideas are outlined
by himself aud the report that the
cardinal plan is the destruction of
the landmonger monopoly is verti-
tilted. "My IDEAL" said the Presi-
dent, sis an orderly aud righteous
government in Mexico: but my pas
,ion is for the submerged s5 per
cent Of the people OF that republic,
who are now struggling toward lIb-
erty." Tie declared that no one
was asking for order TO help the
masses Of people m Mexico, but to
establish the old order uf aristo-
cracy and vested interests that are
responsible for conditions as
they are today. The old order, he
said, is dead, and it is his part as he
sees it to and in composing the diff
ferences, that the new order may
have its foundation on human lib
erty and that human rights may
prevail.

of the West Shore Railroad Burton is
said to have confessed the authorship

blowing a police whistle as a signal
for an agent of the Cunard line to drop

Since the first letters were received
about there weeks ago, officials of the
Cunard line today said, unusual pre-
cautions had been taken to guard all
of its steamships at this port. This
was the reason why the public was

MEDIATION ACHIEVES ITS
FEST IMPORTANT STEP

Niagara Falls, Ont, June 1@.-Medi-
alton today had achieved its first i'm
portant step. After nearly three weeks
of parleying, the mediatOrs and the
American and Huerta delegates We're
ready formally to approve in full con-
1ldence the method by which the eXeCu-
tive power in Mexico City shall be
transferred from the Huerta admins
tration to a new provisional govern
Inent. The constitutional form of sue
cession, permitting General HueTta to
appoint as minister of foreign affairs
the man chosen here for the provision
al presidency has been abandoned. The
United States claimed that to follow
this method would be recognizing
Huerta's authority as constitutional.
Instead there will be an abrupt trans
fer Of authority to the new provisional
president with the probability that the
oath of office will be administered by
the chief justice of the supreme court.
There was a deadlock for three days
over the manner Of transition from
Huerta but the Mexicans finally yield
ed on the ground that technicalities
should not jeopardiZe the prospects for
peace. The mediators, too, are deter
mined to remove every technical OBJ
stacle.

dampen the Washington enthusiasm.
That the constitutionalist delegates
will attend the conference officially or
