BACK OF ATTACK
Pasqueira, Author of Statement
Against Carothers, No
Longer Official.

Washington, Oct. 29-Rafael Cap
many, confidential agent of Carranza,
said the statement issued by Roberto
Pasqueira at San Antonio, Texas. last
night attacking George Carothers, spe-
cial agent of the American government
in Mexico, had not been authorized by
Carranza. Pasquiera now holds no
position under the Mexican govern
ment. but was formerly representative
of Carranza in Washington.
New York, Oct. 29.-The American
Smelling and Refining company denied
the charge of Roberto Pasqueira that
the Guggenheim interests had morally
and financially aided Villa. All en-
ployes of the company, says the state
ment, were instructed not to aid any
faction and not to interfere in any way
in the politics of Mexico.

ELEE The WESTERN ARMIES IN ARMSTCE TO BURY THEIR DEAD
The War Today

From the east and west German re-
verses are reported. Germany
acknowledges a check in Russian Po.
land. but is silent on the great battle
in Flanders. The only official word to
noon was from the French war officers.
which made indefinite claims of further
progress.
The best information is that the Ger
mans. notwithstanding their dauntless
attacks aad great loss of life. are
further from the coast than when the
battle began The allies build hopes
OF final triumph on the almost mex
haustible supply OF men that may be
drawn from the vast British and Rus
sian territory and which are relied on
TO crush the Germans as Grant did the
south in the American civil war by
overwhelming numerical superiority
The Russian emperor's army is esti-
mated at 100000 and in addition to
the men now in the field England has
4 million and a half in training. of
whom six hundred thousand are from
the colonies.
On the extreme west end of the bat
tie line there is nothing new. both
armies being exhausted on this great
scene of fighting in this war. In the
south and east success is reported by

New York. Oct 29.-"When they
left America for Europe two years ago
thew were determined to destroy them
selves after their money became ex-

LAWYER, of POI Broadway, in declaring
he believed the two Americans who
killed themselves recently in lodging

Kay. a widow. and her sister, Miss Jes-
sic Royael
Both women once lived at 36 Haw-
thorne street. Brooklyn
Mr.. Schacht. who had known both
women for years. felt certain OF the
identity of the suicides. The fact that
one had a wedding ring containing the
Inscription "B. l.. VI. TO J. r r." he
considered proof. and the initials are
those OF Mr.. Mckay and Mrs. McKay's
maiden name. The fund OF the sui
cides had been reduced to 80 cents.
The father OF the sisters was super
fntendent or cashier in New York
hank. Mr.. Schacht said. Mrs. Mckay
Was married young and her father and
husband died about the same time

JAPS PLAN DEFENSE ONLY

New York. Oct 2s.-The East and
West News Bureau issued this after
noon the following statement, which
was received by them from Toxic un-
der date of today:
"Yukio OTaki. minister of justice,
who has heretofore consistently advo-
eating the disadvantage of Japan's en-
tering into the race of armament ex-
pansion with great powers, makes the
following statement with regard to the
navy and army budget to be presented
before the coming diet:
In the next budget no proposal for
the construction of any new battle
snip will be made. 1t will only provide
for the building of submarines and tor
pedo boat destroyers, with the sole
purpose of placing the defense of Jap
ans adjacent seas on a safer basis
This will set at rest any suspicion
some naval powers may have harbored
toward Japan
The increase of the army will be
undertaken so far as the people can
easily bear the burden"

WAR SETBACK FOR CAUSE
OF MISSIONS FOR HEATHENS

Battle Creek, Mich, Oct. 29.-The
effect of the war in Europe is expected
to be felt in the medical missionary
conference to be held here Nov. 1920.
A diminution of attendance is not an
but it is conceded that the
spectacle of professedly Christian ma
tions at war is far from recommenda-
tion of the missionary propaganda in
heather fields. In spite of this unfor-
tunate coincidence, the conference
promises to be unusually interesting.
Bishop E. r. Hendrix will be the pre-
siding officer. Among the more promi-
nent speakers will be Bishop William
Burt, Buffalo; Rev. Isaac Taylor Head
land, formerly of the Pekin university;
w. NJ. Danner, superintendent of the
Mission for Lepers; Colonel l.. M.

had crept down into the rafters. The
interior furnishings were not damag-
ed by water to any extent. The fire
