Villa Still Aggressive

Ell PASO, Nov. 17.-Villa's troops,
supporting the convention of the chief
tains, have begun an aggressive move
ment against the Carranza forces, dis
regarding any further attempts to ad-
Just peacefully the disagreement of the
constitutionalist factions. This is re-
ported in press and official messages
from Aguas Calientes. The convention
troops took without opposition, the
town of Leon, it is reported.
Later advices rumored the occupa-
ton of Queretaro, where General Pablo
Gonzales. Carranza's principal leader,
had established base. A proposition
from Carranza that he and Villa exile
themselves from Mexico and meet in
Havana on November 25 is regarded by
local Villa officials merely as a final
attempt of the deposed constitutionalist
commander-in- chief to delay the at
tack from a division of the north. A
communication was received by Car
rama officials here from the Rafael
Zubaran company, constitutionalist
agent at Washington, in which he
called upon all loyal elements to assist
in waging war on Villa. The letter,
however, was mailed several days ago.

GERMANS STILL HURL
THEIR FORCES AGAINST

CQYYanz0 Still
Ready To Quit
If Villa Does

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Delayed
dispatches received from the American
consular agents at Aguas Calientes and
Mexico City confirmed the earlier re-
ports that Carranza had agreed to re-
sign, provided Villa similarly retired.
Gutierrez, who is close friend of Villa,
has approved Carranzas conditions
and tonight it seemed that unless Villa
himself upset the armistice, peace in
Mexico is assured.
In accepting Carranza's conditions, it
is presumed by the American consular
agents that Gutierrez spoke on behalf.
after consultation, of Villa The latter
had previously made public announce
ment that he placed\his own destiny in
the hands of Gutierrez and would do
whatever the latter requested
No word has come yet from George
Carothers. American consular agent ac-
companying Villa, saying what the gen.
erals plan would be. There is some
whether either Villa or Carranza will
actually leave Mexico. 1t is thought
the convention on re-assembling will
ask that both remain, out of consider
alton to their services in the revolu-
tion against Huerta.
Carranza's proposal which was ac-
cepted by Gutierrez, provided that a
first chief would deliver his executive
power on the following conditions:
''First-That CarranZa relinquish his
command in the cOnstitutionalist army
to Gen. Pablo Gonzales, commander Of
the division of the east
"Second-That Villa would retire as
commander of the division of the north,
placing his troops under the orders of
General Gutierrez.
"Third-That both Villa and Carran-
"a should leave the country and should
give evidence of that fact by appearing
at Havana, Cuba, on or before NOvem-
Der 25."

POISON BEATS
HAbEAS CORPUS
IN LEWIS CASE
Elderly Juvenile Reform
Worker Takes Own Life
Rather Than Face the
Charges Of 15-Year-Old
Girl Despite Operation
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcHl


Los ANGELES, Nov. 17.-Poison,
not a habeas corpus proceeding, re-
lieved Herbert W. Lewis, an elderly
juvenile reform worker, arrested here
Sunday, from going to San Francisco
in custody to answer a charge pre-
ferred against him by Ida Niles. a
fifteen year old ward of the Children's
Home Society, of which he is superin-
tendent. He was found dead in the
park, where the children, believing him
asleep, played about his body. Identi
fication was made while attorneys and
friends waited for him to appear in
court for a hearing of his petition for
release
To the girl who accused him, Lewis
had applied q bit of Kipling-"A rag,
bone, a hank of hair-ittle vampire
who appeared TO be twice her age, but
who had the wisdom of a woman four
times her years"
Yesterday after his release on bail,
he said:
MY innocence will be established
easily in court. But charges such as
these are always fatal
Lewis left his home at l o'clock this
afternoon, after kissing his wife good
bye He had spent the morning in his
office at home where he wrote his Will
in longhand, leaving it in the desk
addressed to an attorney.
No final message in explanation of
his action has been found. He regard
ed the accusation as one of the haz-
ards of his work. He told his wife he
would hurry to the court room where
the hearing was to be held at 2:30
o'clock Soon afterwards attorneys
telephoned his wife, asking that he
hurry as he was DELAYING the case.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-"The fu-
ture is clear and bright with a pro-
mise of the hest things" was the
way the president summed up his
view of the business prospect tonight
in letter to Secretary McAdoo of
the treasury department, congratulate
ing him upon the opening of the fed
eral reserve bank system.
Fundamental wrongs once righted.

be-" wrote the president, "all the diff
ferences will clear away. We are all
in the same boat, though apparently
we have forgotten it. We now know
the port for which we are bound. We
have and shall have more and more
as our new understandings ripen, the
|common discipline of patriotic pur-
pose. We shall advance and advance
together with a new spirit, new en-
tfIsiasm and new cordiality of spirit
ed cooperation. 1t is an inspiring
prospect"
Mr.. Wilson referred to the new tar
iff law, the new currency law the
new trade commission law, and labor
provisions of the new antitrust law
as a means through which "the soil
which has everywhere been laid bare
and out of which monopoly will slow
ly be eradicated."
He added that undoubtedly the
means by which credit has been set
is at the heart of all these things;
is the key piece of the whole struc-
ture't
Referring to the Opportunities" of
the currency law the president said.
"the war which has involved the
whole heart of Europe has made it
necessary for the United States to
mobilize its resources in the most ef
fective way possible.
He spoke of the difficulty of mar
keting the cotton crop of the country.
and added that mo doubt in the light
of the new day, with its new un-
derstandings, problems Of the rail-
, roads are also to be met and dealt
with in a spirit of candor and JUS

Undeterred by the Wintry
Weather and Floods, Eff
fort is Still Being Made
to Break Down Defense
of Franco-British Troops
ARTILLERY DUEL.
is CONTINUOUS
From Allies Point of View
Probably Most Important
Operations Are Those
South of Verdun Against
the Big Fortresses
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcHl

LONDON, Nov. 17.-Undeterred by
the wintry weather and floods, the
Germans are still making an effort to
break down the allies defense along
the Franco Belgian frontier. Although
the Berlin official statement refers to
the day as Il quiet one, there was an
almost continuous artillery duel, with
occasional infantry attacks, but Gppar-
emily without either side making prog
ress. The line from the coast to Nieu-
port. which has been receiving less at
tention since the Germans began the
attempt to get the British out of
Ypres, was again subjected to bonn
bardment described as violent, while to
the south of DiXmude the Germans
have been trying, under the fire of the
allies cannon, to build works to check
the flood which compelled them to
evacuate part of the trenches and at
other points the big guns have again
been busy Rheims was subjected to
another rain of shells.
From the allies point of view, prob
ably the most important operations
were those south of Verdun. where the
French troops for some time have been
trying to relieve the pressure which the
Germans have been exerting on the
fortress. They at last succeeded, ac-
cording to a French official statement
and besides making some progress on
the heights of Meuse, have advanced
on St Mihiel. the only point on the
left bank of the Meuse which the Ger
mans have been successful in holding.
Another big battle is developing in
Poland, where the Russian advance has
been met by large forces of Germans
coming from Thorn. The German plan
seems to be to attack the Russian CEN
ter in the hope of drawing their wings
from East Prussia and Cracow In
the former region the Russians report
further advance toward the Gumbin-
nen- -Argerburg line to the north, but
thev have not been able to dislodge the
Germans from their passages in the
MaZurian Lakes. In Galicia the troops
of Emperor Nicholas are driving the
Austrians southwark and to the west
ward have engaged their rear guards
at Du<la, at the foot of the Carpathian
mountains. An unolIlcldl Tepoil tHdt
Cracow is burning has not been con-
firmed.
The action of the steamer Berlin, a
former North German Lloyd liner,
which has been converted into a crui-
ser, in deliberately entering the har-
bor of Trondhjem, Norway and intern
ing, is something of a mystery here. 1t
