retire in Difference 10 the wishes of
the Mexican national convention at
Aguas Calientes, We're contained in
official dispatches TO the state de-
partmcnt tonight
General Obregon and the commit
tee which went to Mexico City to in
lcryiew the first chief, returned to the
convention highly optimistic, ac-
cording to official reports. 1t is gem
orally understood that Carranza in
formed the committee that he would
not submit his resignation a second
time. leaving it 10 the convention to
reconsider If II chose, the action
taken at the recent Mexico city con-
xention, the minutes of which We're
formally ratified by the assembly at
Aguas Calientes.
With the arrival of the twenty
eight delegates. representing General
Hapata. the convention was expected
today formally to consider the dues-
tion Of successor to Carranza. Much
optimism prevails III coHNthtloH 'H
cles. according to official reports, and
a spirit of harmony is distinctly no
ticeable. No report had been received
late tonight Of the result of todays
deliberations when the all-impottant
question Of the provisional presidei "
was to he discussed.
Officials Of the Washington gov
ernment had no doubt that the two
conditions which Carranaa was re-
ported to have stipulated as neces-
sary before he would retire namely
that the tenure Of the provisional
government be brief and that he be
permitted to be a candidate in the
elections to he ordered-would be
satisfactory to the convention.

London. Oct. - (.:25 "A. m.) -- \
dispatch to the Daily Telegraph from
Belgium declares tnat the Germans
success in crossing the User was only
short-lived ON Friday the Belgian
entrenchments which the Germans
had captured across the river were
retaken at the point of the bayonet
and the enemy tumbled back pell NELL
over the User, losing many men by
drowning.
THE whole allied line, says the
dispatch, now remains intact and
unless the Germans develop unex-
pccted strength there seems little
chance Of their breaking IT, This is
owing to the fact that reiuforeemeats
Of French infantry came 10 the sup
port Of the Bclgiars as well as several
batteries of heavy howitzers
These were very welcome. for dur
ing the whole fighting on the Nset
the Belgian artillery had been COM
pletely outranged by the German guns
which had simnly pounded DiNmudc
and neighboring villages into a pub
from a distance which prohibited ANY
reply from the Belgian field pieces
Since the arrival of the allies guns
there has been an artillery duel ali
along the line on more equal terms.
Annoyed by their failure 10 locate the
new guns. the Germans again turned
their attention on the unfortunate
town Of Dixmude. which was again
set ablaze
1T is reported that the Germans
made no less than eight separate in
fantry attacks on Dixmude last week
with fresh ttoops. These hayonet at
tacks were pressed home with great
courage, but the French massed their
machine guns in groups Of fours and
swept away each attacking column
successfully so that no German dead
or wounded we're found nearer than
fifty yards from the trenches These
attacks cost the Germans dearly and
they now have ceased them.

"IOIN WAR" SAID TO BE
DECLARED N MEXICO

FL Paso, Tex, oct. 26-A holy
war in Mexico as counter-revolu-
ton against the Carranza-Nill en-
broglio has been threatened, accord
ing to reports brought here today By
Americans and Mexieans who arrived
by various routes from Guadalajara.
They told Of uprisings against the
constitutionallst authorities of central
Mexico which were led by Mexican
priests
1t was indicated BY local activities
that the cientifieo or eX-1edera ele-
ment which flourished under the Diaz
and Huerta regimes would combine
with the new movement in ousting the
constitutionalists who disagreed even
before the triumph of their revolution.
The new movement was started at
the town of Union de Tula, Jalisco
state 1t was begun when the consti-
tutionalsts from the roof of the ca
thedral waved at the pOpulace Il
bishops mtre, and the confiscati0n
and desecration of church property
This act SO enraged the people tha,,
led by a priest and the town mayor,
they engaged the soldiers in running
fight. Soon the trouble spread to adj
Joining towns located around Guada-
laiara, the second largest city in Mex
leo ana the Industrial center of the
west coast country
The residents of this district pro-
claimed themselves in favor of the
Villa revolution against the Carranza
central government for the reason
that their grievances were directed
against the troops Of General Obre-
gon, a Carranza partisan.
A carload Of ammunition was con
fiscated today by American troops at
Mimbres, west Of Columbus, y. NJ
IN the ground that it was not passed
through a regular port of entry
Ihese munitions, 1t was learned, were
being sent TO an expedition in north
western Chihuahua and Sonora, which
was to have been independent of
either the Villa or Carranza factions.
a local Spanish paper printed to-
day q wholly unconfirmed report that
Parral had been recaptured by Gen.
Maclovio Herrera, Carranza parti-
san, who last Friday had been routed
by the Villa troops It also was re-
ported without confirmation that sew
efal Americans had been killed in the
fighting.
