Scores the X aiserS.

Paris, Dec 15.-That the German
and Austrian Kaisers are both inferior,
mentally and morally, to the average
man in their troops, is asserted by
the Swiss psychologist, DR.. Alberi
Froment, in an article published here.
He says:
wilhelm possesses average sense,
hut his will is so degenerate that he
cannot refrain from indecent manifes-
tations of exaggerated ambitions. He
suffers from an hereditary disease
which accounts for his atrophied arm,
scrofulous swellings of the joints,
chronic catarrh, splitting headache, in
somnia and pododynia, wherefrom all
the Hohenzollerns suffer. The Kaiser
is thus candidate for general paraly-
sis and dementia.
"The Austrian emperor's intellect is
weak; witness his receding forehead,
small quantity of brain matter and
very thick cranial walls. The most
frightful catastrophes have befallen
his empire and his family without his

Forcing Germans Back.

Paris, Dec. 15.-In Belgium, along
the Lorraine frontier, in front of Metz
and in Alsace the French have again
forced the Germans back, according to
official announcements made today.
Owing to the constantly increasing
pressure which is being eXerted by
General Joffre's right wing army
against the Germans in the Woevre
region, where the invading forces con-
stantly are being hurled back on the
line between the Meuse fortresses and
Metz, the developments in this region
are the most significant of the day.
A 1iolent cannonade directed against
the German artillery positions located
on the heights at Great MeuSe river
failed to provoke any considerable re-
sponse and air scouts made recon
noissance which resulted in the discov-
cry that the German batteries had
abandoned their positions, the fury of
the French fire evidently having
forced them to withdraw to the north.

Mexican Situation


CONTINUED FROM PAGE oNE)
will consider firing across the border
by the American troops at Naco "an
act of hostility" This much was ad-
mitted by Secretary Bryan today. The
secretary of state did not furnish the
rress with the text of Carranza's mes
sage.
The excuse made for Withholding the
text last night was that the message
had not been deciphered. When it was
translated it was said, it would be
ven out The fact that the text Is
ow withheld leads to the belief that
he warning of Carranza is couched
in stronger terms than the administra-
tion thinks would be quite palatable to
the public.
Very high officers of the war de
partment, in discussing the Carranza
statement today, expressed the opin-
ion that, in view of the warning, fir
ing across the border by General Bliss
troops would mean "a state of war
between the United States and Mex
leo"
In his note to Secretary Bryan Car
rama is understood to have pledged
himself to do all he can to end the
conditions of which the state depart
ment has complained, but distinctly
and firmly reserves to the Mexican
government all right and authority to
act upon these conditions. Any inter-
ference by the United States will be
considered hostile.
Army officers say the Carranza
statement is direct challenge to the
United States and they therefore re-
gard the situation as one of increas-
ingly tense interest.
In view of this statement by Car
rama and because three more casual
ties were reported today, Secretary of
State Bryan was asked what this gov
ernment's next step would be.
Mr.. Bryan said that nothing new
had been determined on and that his
pravious announcements covered the
situation.
Secretary of War Garrison said that
no new orders had been issued to Gen
eral Bliss. The secretary said the
general was to await orders"
Mr.. Bryan does not know, he says,
the exact number of the border casu-
alties including those of today. They
are estimated at the department at
probably So. ~

States have already disqualified them
selves for the assumption of judicial
functions. They have seen The Hague
convention, to which American states
men set their hand, violated clause

not even protested, much less endeav-
cred to enforce the law by any active
steps. We do not blame them. They

Indians for England.

Cairo, Egypt, Dec. 2.-'If our EN-
peror, King George V. of England, re-
Quires an army larger than that of
Russia, we will be able to supply it
and we will be proud to do So" said
his Highness, the Maharaja of Idar.
Dhiraj Shri Dolat Singhji, when he
passed through this city on his way to
join the British general staff at the
front in France.
To illustrate the present martial ar
Cor of the Indians the Maharaja told
the pathetic story of his own military
secretary. After bidding farewell to
his master, this secretary assembled
his family and close friends. He said
good bye to them and then shot him
self dead, overcome with anguish that
he could not accompany his master
TO the field of battle.
The Maharaja is the fifth of the
Indian Princes who has left India on
active military service. He is the
adopted son of the celebrated Sir
Pertah Singh.
"All people and creeds in India are
united today in enthusiasm for the
cause of the empire" he said.
Every Indian, old and young, would
most gladly respond to the king en-
perors CALL" he said.
"As only a comparatively small
number of men may go to the battle
field at present, many officers and In
dians of high birth are going in the
ranks. You will probably be sur
prised to learn that my two sauces, or
grooms, are captains.
MY valet is very well do. They
came with me in these circumstances
because it was the only way they
could come.
Even the grooms who came u
Bombay with our horses and then had
TO return home went away dejectedly
and in tears"
He said the Maharaja of Jodpur,
seventeen years old, was anxious dc
spite his youth, to get into the fight
ing. His mother supported him IN
this desire Finally he wrote to the
Viceroy, saying, "Why am | not al
lowed to go? | have three brothers
so if | am killed in battle it does no;
matter" He was allowed to go tc
the front.
The Maharaja said the presence OF
Turkey on the other side of the con
flict will have no effect in India
Turkey is a football of the Ger
mans. She cannot presented to repre-
sent Mohammedanism All section OF
India are proud to be on the side OF
the empire. For instance, Rajputan1
has an army of 10000 men, but nc
fewer than half a million men have
offered themselves and are eager f
serve. Nepal has put her whole force
10000 men, at the emperor's disposal
"If the battlefield were nearer and
not separated from India by sea, the
Indians would go even without orders
to fight"

All Alike in Death.

Paris, Dec. 15.-Equality of death
is the keynote of an official statement
issued today giving warning to par
ents of slain soldiers that they will
not be permitted to exhume bodies bur
led on the battlefields.
while this measure is necessary on
the grounds of hygiene" the statement
says, "the equality of the men and

FEWER SIGNS FOR EARLY END
OF BATTLE IN NORTH FRANCE

LONDON, October Z, 1:10 p.m.-The
conflict along the rivers of northern
France. although now in it's twenty
sixth day, shows fewer signs of an
early end than it did two days ago.
Then Gen. Won Kluck appeared dan
gerously threatened by the enveloping
movement of the allied armies. Today
that resourceful commander having OBJ

in his turn in attempting to outflank

Serman Tactics Defective, Is Claim.
The correspondent of the Post in
Petrograd. in a disquisition contrast
ing Russian and German strategy, to
the disadvantage of the latter, says:
Instead of following some sound mil
itary principles of seeking out the en-
emy's strength and endeavoring to
smash it, the Germans seem to follow
the lines of least resistance Whether
this is the result of basing war upon
the experiences of the parade ground
and maneuvers arranged beforehand, 1t
is difficult to say. but certainly the Ger
man army is learning it's business only
now.
Both the great German defeats-in
Galicia and in western Russia-exem-
plffy the same defect in tactics of fol-
lowing the line of least resistance In
both cases the Russians caught them
in precisely the same trap. In the lat
ter case the Russians left a gap of
twenty miles open like a mousetrap
door and the Germans marched gayly
in. They found no opposition until they
met an unpleasant surprise at the fan
tastic bends of the River Niemen, and
while trying to force the Niemen the
jaws of the trap closed upon them.
