one of the girls who works
in the same shop he does
whom he calls roughneck;
but when his little girl asks
him for a nickel he will say.
"What do you think / ana

and she never gets 1t? She
has been refused so much
threatened to whip her If she
asked again, and 1t was sell

the junction of the Disc and Aisne riv-
ers, has again been the scene of furi-
GUS fighting in which the allies were
on the offensive.
That region marks the point where
the German lines line nearest to Paris
and 1t is also the apex Of the German
wedge upon French soil.
Heavy French artillery has been
bombarding the German trenches
north of scissors and some of the
German works have been destroyed.
Farther to the north. in the vicinity
Of Yypres. there has also been re-
newal Of activity, despite the near-zero
weather which is prevailing in west
Flanders. The Germans seem to have
made shift Of troops in that vicinity
and have resumed their cannodale
with great violence.
Shell Positions.
The sound Of firing off the Belgian
coast was reported from Dunkirk. This
was probably British and French war
ships shelling the German positions,
but the report stated that the timbre
of the firing was such as to indicate
that the artillery OF one side was be-
dng answered BY that of the other.
All agree that the Germans have
mounted q great number of heavy
esns along the northern coast OF Bel.

FUNSTON W|THOBAWS
ARMY FROM MEXICO
UNDER i. S. ORDERS
Flag Hauled Down at Vera
Cruz and Soldiers Leave
Shores of RevOlt-TOrn Re-
public.
TBY LEASED WIRE.1

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23-With all
arrangements for the evacuation OF
Vera Cruz perfected, the Washington
administration today awaited news
from General Funston that his troops
had left the Mexican port.
Under the instructions of President
Wilson, the American commander was
to haul down the Stars and Stripes
which have been flying over Vera Cruz
since last April, and with his six thous
and infantry marines hurry aboard the
transports that have been waiting to
bring the troops back to the United
States.
Overnight advices from Mexico
showed the situation there even more
confusing that heretofore, but these
did not alter the determination of this
government to withdraw the troops.
In the evacuation of the port, Presi-
dent Wilson and his advisors were
careful not to recognize any faction in
Mexico. and General Funston acted
under blanket instructions merely to
leave the city. bringing with him all
Mexicans and other refugees who
cared to so.
The five battleships at Vera Cruz
and Tampico and the cruisers on the
west coast will remain indefinitely
ready to answer any call for protection
of American and other foreigners.
The embarkation of six thousand
American troops upon eight transports
began early today, and it is expected
that by the middle of the afternoon
the evacuation of Vera Cruz will be
complete General Candido Aguilar
and several thousand Carranza troops
are awaiting a few miles west of Vera
Cruz to occupy the city as soon as
all the American soldiers have en-
bark.
The marines were to take separate
transports for Philadelphia, while the
soldiers we're to go to Texas City and
Galveston.
The money received at the custom
house by the Americans. which
amounts to more than million dol
lars, is being brought to Galveston and
will be held by the war department.
General Funston, upon his arrival at
Galveston, will have the choice OF re-
lieving General Bliss in the south or
going to Chicago. Secretary Garrison
expects that in view of his long alb
sence from the United States, General
Funston will prefer the northern post.
Should General Funston go to Chicago,
General Bell will relieve General Bliss,
who will come to Washington as as
sistant to the secretary of war.
The departure of the Americans was
mourned today by thousands of Mexi-
cans as a calamity. Many would liked
to have seen the United States SOL
diers kent there until peace is establish.
ed throughout the republic. The de-
parture of American troops in these
regions does not mean that rowdyism
will run rife at an early period at least.
1t is evidently the intention of Cen
eral Carranza to make Vera Cruz his
capital, and this may result in the town
being attacked by the Vilaistas ulti-
mately. In case this happens the
frowning guns Of the American war
ships will tend to conserve the peace
in the city that has been in the hands
Of the Americans for more than fifteen
months.

NAxMa CArvi~A

BERLIN, Via Amsterdam, Nov. 23.-
Steadily pressing forward south of the
Weischel (Vistula) river. the German
forces in Russian Poland have captur-
ed the towns Of Lowicz, Debske and
Rozlaslow, according to semi-official
dispatch received here from the front
early today. These three towns are
on the Bzura river. Rozlazlow is only
thirty-one miles west of Warsaw.
News of the capture of Lowicz,
which is on the south bank Of the
Bzura, indicates that the Germans have
crossed that stream in force. Lowicz
is an important railroad point, two
lines from there running to Warsaw.
One line runs through Skierniwice,
the other through Socharzew, just
across the Bzura from Roslazlow.
Debsko and Roslazlow are on the
second line mentioned and are located
on the north bank of the Bzura. Their
capture gives the Germans control Of
the railroad up to the bridge between
RoZlaZlow and SocharZew.
