The president of the chamber at the
opening OF the sitting dwelt in a speech
on the unity and patriotism of the
German people and commented ap-
preciatively on the large number OF
members of the Reichstag who are now
serving the country at the front. In
his exposition of the progress of the
war, the president said:
Japan joined our enemies from a
desire to seize as booty the monument
to German culture in the Far East.
On the other hand, we have found an
ally in Turkey, as all the Moslem
people wish to throw off the English
yoke and shatter the foundations of
England's colonial power Under the
banner of our army and our fleet, we
will continue"

sion dressed In the gray service uni

OF state and the Prussian minister also
were present. Many of the members
Of the chamber were in uniform and
wore iron crosses.
The imperial chancellor charged
England with responsibility for the
war. That country, he declared, was

but that 1t had refused to act. He
continued:

competitor in markets of the world.
Therefore, England and Russia have

AMERICAN FIRM CONSTRUCTING
SUBMARINES FOR BElUGERENTS

WASHINGTON, Dec G.-Formal in
quiry was made today by the United
States government of the Bethlehem
Steel company to learn whether the
firm intended to construct submarines
for use by any of the bel!igerent pow
ers of Europe.
Charles NJ. Schwab, president of the
company, and other officials of the
concern, in response to an invitation
from the state department, explained
orally their position and agreed to
submit it in writing in few days. In
the meantime, neither they nor the
state department Officials would dis
close the extent of the company's ac-
tivities.
The question under consideration is
how far American firms may 60 in

CAPITAL OF
MEXICO in
M0BS' HANDS
Upon Withdrawal Of Blanco' S
Troops Tough Element Has
Full Swing for Days.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 30.-via Ell
Paso Junction, Dec. 2.)-Delayed by
Censors.-The arrival of the troops OF
Gen. Francisco Villa from the north
and of Gen. Emiliano Zazapta from the
south has been followed by compare
tive calm in Mexico City after one Of
the most trying weeks in its long his
tory.
For one week Mexico City has been
isolated from the outside world so far
as concerned the transmission of press
dispatches. Today communication was
restored by single wire stretching
from the capital to Ell Paso and it is
possible to recount in some detail the
story of the last few days.
When Gen. Lucio Blanco left the city
early on Tuesday morning, Nov. "a, few
of the inhabitants knew of his depar-
ture.
Towards noon heavy firing was heard
in the neighboring suburbs, which are
concentrated in the vicinity of Chapul-
tepec castle and toward the edge of
the American colony.
Here the retreating forces of Gen
eral Blanco were deserted by their
chief. They fought with the advance
guards of the army of General Zapata.
During these engagements so men
were killed and Blanco's men retreated
northward.
1t then became known that General
Carranza had ordered both General
Obregon and General Blanco to leave
the city with all their men. The order
also called for the disarmament and
the dissolution of the entire police
force
AS Zapata's forces had not penetrat-
ed the city proper and as the plan of
the constitutionalists called for the
complete abandonment of the capital,
rage divided the feelings of the busi-
ness and residential communities. The
stores and banks were Immediately
closed and have so remained.
At o'clock Tuesday huge mobs be-
gan forming in front of the national
palace. It was evident that serious
trouble was brewing and the streets
we're cleared Of all save the rioters.
With cries of ITO the arms stores;
there are no police" the crowds ran
from the open plaza to the places desig-
mated ON the Avenue Sixteenth of Sep
tember.
Here the leaders forced the doors of
one OF the largest establishments.
stealing arms and ammunition and
handed out the weapons to the waiting
throngs. With these the rioters rushed
down the streets firing as they went.
The telephone connecting the capital
with the suburbs had been busily !
working, however, and the Zapata
forces on the outskirts were asked to
come into the city without regard for
the arrangement they had made with
the northerners. The Zapata troops
responded promptly.
Meantime the students of the city |
had met and decided to arm them
selves and disperse the mobs If no as
sistance came from the besieging SOL
diers on the outside. The crowds heard
of these preparations and broke up
into small parties. spreading out over
the entire city.
When the Zapata forces entered
Mexico City the students armed with
small caliber to old muzzle-loading
double-barreled shotguns. already had
taken possession of the principal
streets. These manifestations awed
