Dispatches to the State

MEXICO CITY TRANQUIL,
SAYS BRITISH DIPLOMAT
Washington Highly Pleased
With Admission of Sir Cecil
Spring-Rice

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Prac-
tically no fresh news is reaching the
state department from Interior Mex
leo. Telegraphic communication
seems to be interrupted or at least
seriously delayed. However, officials
are not uneasy and insist all avail
able information indicates the var
ious factional leaders are protecting
foreigners and their interests.
While the Carranza forces ssom
splitting into number OF separate
factions. the forces of Gen. villa are
reported to be intact. and this, state
department officials believe will give
Villa and Gutierrez a material ad-
vantage in final fighting.
The admission by Sir Cecil Spring
Rice to Acting Secretary of State
Lansing that his confidential reports
from Mexico City showed the capt.
tai tranquil. greatly pleased the Of
f1cials.
The situation at Vera Cruz con-
tinues uncertain and all Americans

CROSSE ISLANDERS
CLASH WITH MAINLAND

Fashionable residents OF Crosse
Isle again clashed with citizens from
the mainland Of Monguagon township,
Tuesday morning, when Judge Muir
ply heard arguments on the writ of
certiorari obtained by the township
board of Monguagon in the hope or
having declared Illegal the action OF
the Wayne county supervisors, who
at their last session separated Crosse
Isle from Monguagon. Judge Murphy
heard the arguments, but reserved de-
cision.
The dispute between the two for
mer parts of the township has been
OF long standing The Crosse Isle
residents maintained that their prop
erty was the most valuable in the
township. and that therefore they paid
for most of the Improvement. Yet,
they said, the improvements were
made mostly on the mainland, to the
neglect of the islano.
The action of the county supervis-
ors in agreeing to the divorce OF
Crosse Isle from Monguagon was at
tackled on numerous technical
grounds, chief among the mbeing the
allegation that the petition asking for
the change was not signed by the
proper number OF freeholders Of Mon
guagon township.

$500 AWARDED ON
SIS SALARY CLAIM
Mrs. Ida Gagnier, Stenographer,
Sues and Beats Employer Who
Neglected to Pay Her

An unpaid salary of SIS swelled to
more than $4,000 In Justice of Peace
Commands court Tuesday morning,
and after undergoing this process OF
imitation. II slumped back to $500,
because $500 is the largest amount
that can be awarded in justice court.
Mrs. Ida Gagnier was awarded the
$500 verdict. She sued her former
employer, John p. Hehle, secretary
and treasurer Of the Hemmeter Spark
Gap Co., with Offices at No. 1919 Dime
Bank building. She was employed az
a stenographer. Mrs. Gagnier alleges
that $50 was due her when she left
the employ OF Hehle. After leaving,
she was married.
Justice Command granted $500
verdict, when only $50 had been ask.
ed, under provisions OF state law
which entitled an employee to 10 per
cent Of the total amount due for each
day that elapses from the time the re-
lations as employe and employer cease
until the difference is settled.

rival OF reinforcements for the enemy
and the strengthening Of the corps Of
mere youths and second and third-line

II Is admitted that the German

losses are declared to. be enormous.
The Germans fought their way out OF

south of Lodz at the point OF the bayo-

have been taken are suffering terribly
