PETROGRAD. Sept. "a
TeleEraphing from Warsaw, the corre-
spondent Of the Novoe Nremya says:
The Germans in Northwest Poland
lack horses and are unable to do
much accommodating. They are
strongly fortifying the C2estOchowa-
kalisz line and also positions farther
north. Their aim Is to hold back an
invasion of Silcsia as long as possi-
hle, apparently planning to remain on
the defensive. The German forces
that retired from the vicinity of
Mllawa have been strongly reinforced.
Reports from aviation scouts state that
the Germans intend to make a strong
stand on the line running osuth from Ka-
lisz to Wielun. There they have con-
centrated strong forces east of Bleslau
while others are moving Southward TO
Cracow. Some heavy fighting already
has occurred about there, the Germans
~ some points falling back into Silesia.
Witnesses state that General Rennen-
kamp's strateEical retirement before the
German advance in east Prussia to avoid
their turning movement has been sp'en-
didly through slowly executed, His rear
guard has maintained a deadly fire di-
rected at the enemy's van guard, and
masses Of Germans have been moved
down by the quick-iircrs, kilograms to

OFFICERS MAKE EASY TARGET
Bright French Uniforms Account for
Many Wounded.

BORDEAUX, Sept 2i-Col. Rousset. in
the Petit Pam5en, referring to the death
Of General BridouX, attributes the dispro-
portionate loss of French superior officers
to the fact that their uniform has too
much gold lace and stripes, which dis
tinguish the officers and make them a
good target for the enemys marksmen.
Colonel Rousset points out that In the
English army general officer can hardly
be distinguished from private soldier.

HOPE OF PEACE GONE.
Washington Hears War IL Going On
situation Is serious.

WAsHrSGToS, Nov. lS.-Those who had
pinned any hopes on Mr.. Bryans an
nouncement two days ago that peace Is
assured in Mexico were disillusioned this
afternoon by further reports to the state
Department.
Dispatches were received indicating
that A state Of war virtually exists. From
Mexico city came the word that the situa-
ton is serious. From Aguascalientes II
was reported that all negotiations for
compromise between Carranza and the
convention are at an end, while from
Villas headquarters came the statement
that the leader of the conventions forces
is rapidly proceeding southwark toward
Mexico city and has already occupied the
town Of Leon without meeting any resist
snce
The impression that Carranza was will
ing to retire was created by messag e
sent to Aguascalientcs by Gen Pablo Con
7ylez the chief CarranClsta in the present
situation, announcing to the convention
that the First Chief had agreed to turn
over the executive power to Gen. Cutter
rez the man whom the convention elected
President TO succeed Carrdnza.
Carranza, however. has repudiated this
message. Not only does he now insist tina
villa must leave the country and NEE,
him at Havana but he demands also that
the executive power be given not to Gen
Gutierrez but 10 some man in whom Car
IanZa has trust and confidence. He sug-
sests Gen. Gonzalez being such a man
And there the situation stands, with Car
rama apparently determined more thar
ever to make fight TO maintain his pres.
ent authority.

ROME, Nov 1s.-The Italian Ambas-
sailors to France, Germany, Austria
and England have been summoned to
Rome TO confer with Baron Sidney
Sonn!no the Minister for Foreign Az
fairs. Baron Sonnino states that the
gathering OF ENJOYS will have no poe
litcal significance. and that they are
sent for merely because 1t is expedient
that he should become personally ac-
quainted with each one and have YER
bal reports of the unprcccdentedly
grave situation in the world war.
1t Is not unlikely. however. that one
of the problems TO be discussed by
Baron Sonnino and the Ambassadors
Is Itaiy's proper course as regards the
formation Of a Balkan league to pre-
vent Servia from being overwhelmed
and dismembercd by Austria. The Ital-
ian Government favors such a league
but refuses tn take the initiative. leav-
ing that course to Russia. which has
most at stake at the present time.
Hence Italy is exertinS no pressure
on either side, but participates pas
sively in the exchange of views. re-
tanning complete freedom of action in
the defence of her own interests. Tn
questionably the Ambassadors will be
asked to give their views as to whether
or not Italy's inter SITS will be served
by permitting Austria to complete the
