WIRELESS MESSAGE FROM
 EIFFEL TOWER STATION Says in Every Engagement invaders
 Have Been Repulsed.

London, Sept. 2S, 9.46 p. m.-For the first time since the beginning Of the war, wireless news circulated by the French government through the Einel tower station was received in London tonight. The message, dated Sept. 2S, follows:
 Feeling that their position was be- coming more and more critical under the pressure of the allies arms. the peated counter-attacks. Since Sept. 26 they have delivered by day and night frquent and very violent attacks at several positions on our front. Every where they have been repulsed, sus- taining considerable losses and aban- doning as they lay thousands of dea and wounded.
 The eighth army corps and the guards were severely put to the test and a large number of prisoners fell int oour hands. It is to be remarked that many of the latter gave them selves up voluntarily, although they could have escaped.
 Tt seems that the German soldiers are beginning to have no further doubt as to the treatment which awaits them in captivity. At the beginning all those we captured had terrified and supplicating attitude, arising out of statements made by their officers to the effect that the French shot their prisoners. It is rather by an excess of kindness that we transgress in regard to them, and the too kindly treatment which is meted out to prisoners in cer- tain districts of France has even evoked complaints, which occasionally have been Justified. on the part of all those who know how our men are treated in Germany"

three cruisers. The Austrians awaited their arrival, fully prepared. A salvo from the first fort sunk the Warsh.p and the other vessels in the fleet re- treated hastily.
 The official report concerning. the sinking of the three British cruisers, Aboukir, Greasy and Hogue, by the German submarine U-9 in the North sea recently asserts that the U-9 was in action one hour. This was the time elapsing between the firing of the first and the last torpedo. The British cruisers, according to report, did not fire single shot. When attacked, they were steaming abreast, with the Aboukir in the middle.
 A report that German vessels ac- companying the submarine flew the Dutch flag is contradicted. It is em- phatically denied that any other suo- marines took part in the attack and that any sunk after the destruction Of the Cressy.i
 Several British cruisers, torpedo boats and destroyers put in an appear ance and pursued the U-9 until even ing, going as far as the Terschelling banks, where the submarine escaped under the cover of night

Gen. Villa Not
 a Candidate
FOR PRESIDENT OR VICE PEsl.
 DENT OF MEXICO
FORMALLY ANNOUNCED
ConstitutionaIist Representatives are Hopeful that Conference of Carranza and Villa Commissioners will Adjust Matters.

washington, Sept. 2S.-FormaI an- nouncement from General Villa that oent or vice president of Mexico was received at the state department to- day through Consular Agent Caroth- CTS, at Chihuahua City. This dispatch, the nrSt to reach Washington from the interior Cf Mexico since Villas re- volt against General CarranZa'S au- thority as first chief of the cc,stitu- tlonalfsts greatly strengthened the hopes of officials here for a peaceful adjustment of the difficulties between the two leaders.
 Of Special Significance.
 Special significance was attached to Villas assurance. because it follows so closely the declaration of General Carranza that he would not become a candidate if Villa would give a simi- lar promise and all the other military leaders were eliminated as presidential possibilities
 The state department was without information from Mexico City, but it was generally believed in official cir cles that if General Carranza resigns Thursday as has been declared he will the convention called by him for that date will name as his successor Fernando Iglesias Calderoh. whose selection has been demanded by Villa
 Constltutionalst representatives here tonight were hopeful that the peace commissioners despatched by Car ranza and Villa, to meet in an at tempt to adjust the existing difficul- ties between the two factions would reach satisfactory solution of the problem. Although the Mexican em- bassy had not been officially informed as to where the commissioners would confer, it was stated that Aguascalien- tes probably would be the place
 General Funston. commanding the A 1aY-fr r1G formed the war department that Gen eral Zapata, the southern rebel leader, had lodred protest with him aginst the surrender of Vera Cruz to the Carranza government. Zapata. made 1t plain that he did not recognize Car ranza as the first chief of the consti- tutionalists. Zapatas army makes him a factor to be reckored with. and it is admitted that his attitude will, rot be calculated to hasten the prepar- ations for the American evacuation. Change of Warships at Vera Cruz.
 Orders for the withdrawal from Mexican waters of the battleships kota had been prepared tonight and only awaited the signature of Secre- tary Daniels to become effective These vessels are to be relieved by the Texas Minnesota and Rhode Island, which have been ordered to Vera Cruz At the navy department it was said that Secretary Daniels would re- lease the three battleships from Mex ican duty. They will proceed north for target practice manoeuvres and drills, which have been suspended during their stay in southern waters.
 In accordance with recommendations that only four battleships be retained for the present in Mexican waters submitted to Secretary Daniels by Rear Admiral Fletcher, it Is proposed to soon withdraw the Virginia and Kansas. leaving the Texas, Minne- sota.
