follows:

The report Of the French that
they had dispersed a German division

GE ERMANY MAKES
HOT REPLY TO
BRITISH CHARGE
lsr MORNING Jousr.l SPECIAL LEASED wlssl

Berlin, Nov Is (via The Hague and
London. )--Germany' answer to the
charges made by the British govern
ment regarding the methods employ
ed by Germany in laying mines in
the North sea is printed IN the Nord
Deutsche Allgemeine Ieitung.
The article asserts that the eight
agreements Of the second peace con-
ference at The Hague, which were
among the conventions signed on
October Is, 1907, to which the Brit
ish government refers in its note to
the neutral powers, never have been
ratified. Nevertheless. Germany an
nounees she Will act in accordance
with the terms of these agreements.
The British charge that Germany
violated provisions regarding the
laying of mines is absolutely denied
In the article, which declares that
Germany never used fishing boats or
vessels FLYING neutral flags in laying
mines; all were laid by war vessels.
Neither had Germany laid mines
in the high seas. All have been laid
as fear to English harhpr entrances
as the coast lines and character Of
the bottom permitted all have been
carefully anchored and neutral pow
ers have been duly warned. 1t is un-
true, continues the paper, that Ger
many has barred neutral ports by
laying mines IL some of the Ger
man mines laid on the English coast
have drlfted TO sea through heavy
storms there are much less numer-
GUS than the English mines that have
been driven onto the Dutch and Bel
gian coasts where they have inflict-
ed damage.
England's charges concludes the
article, were dictated with the design
of excusing Eneland's closure Of the
North sea.

WASHINGTON NOT SURE
OF OUTLOOK IN MEXICO

Washington. Nov. Is. - Important
dispatches from Mexico were received
| by the state department today, but
they left officials very much In doubt

from Aguas Calicntes announcing that
/ General Gutierrez. named by the con-
vention as provisional president Of
Mexico. yesterday demanded Carran-
za's retirement as first chief OF the
constitutionallsts within twenty-fonr
hours.
The second came from Consul Silli-
man, personal representative of Pres
ident Wilson in Mexico, saying thhs
the possibilities Of a peaceful settle
ment of the differences between Car
rama and the Aguas Callentes con-
vention leaders were brighter today
than ut any time since the breach oc-
Cured.
General Blanco, commanding the
Carranza forces In Mexico City. Mr..
Silliman said, advised him that an
agreement binding the leaders of the
warning factions to adjust their diff
ferences without further hostilities
was confidently expected That Car
rama would consent to be party to
such an agreement was indicated
Latef advices from Aguas Calientes
said General Gutierrez had informed
Carranza that unless definite an
swcr to his demands was forthcoming
by Sunday night a general movement
against him would be ordered
Both Aguas Calientes messages
were dated yesterday but officials DO
not know whether the ultlmatum had
reached Carranza before Mr. Sllliman
filed his dispatch.
No mention was made Of the re-
ported truce suspending hostillties be-
tween the Carranza and villa forces
until November 20 was made in any
OF the dispatches.
