Very serious battles also are pro.
ceeding in southern Poland and IN
Galicia without decisive result. The
Russians, however, have. crossed the
Cistula north of Ivangorod with II
fresh army corps, which should have
a marked effect on the fortunes of the
battle. They appear. from their own
account, to be breaking down the re-
sistance of the Austrians south of
Przemysl and throughout Galieia
where lighting of the most stubborn
character has been going on for weeks.
Another rebellion has broken out in
South Africa--this time headed by
Gen. Christian De Wet and Gen. Bey-

selves, still retain some Of the bitter
ness aroused BY the South African
war, will Join them. The defence force,
as the army Of the Union of South
Africa Is called, is considered safe for
the government for when Gen. Beyers
gave up his command of that force
on the outbreak Of the war none Of the
officers or men of the army followed
him. Besides, Con. Botha tile premier,

CRITICIzES u. S.
MEXICO POLICY


Worcester. Mass, Oct. 27.-The pol
icy of the administration towsrd
Mexico. was criticized by United
States Senator Lodge in speech at
a Republican rally tonight.
There were only two policies TO
pursue, he said, lone of total austen
ton and the other of efficient inter-
ven.ion. The administration with ex-
traordinary ingenuity adopted neither
course, but managed to pursue a sys-
tenn which had the defects of BOTH
Senator Lodge pictured the Demo-
Gratis as making loud appeal for
support on the ground that we are at
peace and that the present admins
tration has kept US at peace.
Insofar as the war in Europe Is
concerned he continued, none In
this country is responsible for that
war and ne credit can be given to any
political party for the fact that we
are not involved in it,
There Is no peace either In Mexico
or with Mexico. Our navy holds a
Mexican city--a city in a foreign
country-and may be engaged in fight
ing at any moment. If this is the peace
of which they boast as achieved in
Mexico, it is of a queer AMI unusual
kind and with most precarious hold
on existence"

ecuted after making confession be-
FORE George c. Carothers, the Amer
lean consular agent
The accusation caused much excite
ment. The telegram from Villas Sec
rotary said Mugia was apprehended
at Guadalupe, where Villa with his
troops has been awaiting the outcome
OF tile conference. The Official report
stated that the prisoner just prior re
his execution told the Villa officers
in the presence of Carothers that he

by General Gonzales at Mexico City.
In his POSSESSION was found iEcrim-

The accused was an ardent insur-

DEADLY CONFLICT CONTINUES
between ARMIES west OF THE
USER RIVER WARSHIPS WITHDRAW

caIly that Calais be taken, aid a tele-
gram received today quoting the Saxon
Gazette gives what purports to be an
the north coast of France is in their
hands.
The towns OF West Flanders over and
through which the battle for the coast
has been waging are in ruins. The canals
are choked with the dead and the coun-
tryside is SCARED as if by an earthquake.
That the Germans have not been alone
in heavy losses is attested by dispatch
declaring that the Belgians lost 10000
men when they were driven from the
banks of the User by the invaders. The
biggest of the German guns are now re-
ported to be at Bruges. They are appar-
ently yet to be brought into action, and
some of the most terrible stages of the
conflict remain TO be decided. There has
been no notable change along the battle
line in France proper, although the Ger
mans claim that the fate of Verdun will
be promptly sealed as soon as their pow
erful guns get into action.
From near Rheims has come a dispatch
dwelling upon the indications locally that
the Germans are preparing to hold their
positions in that part of the Aisne all
winter. although of course this will de-
lend largely upon the result of the opera
tons to the north.
Most Of the claims from the eastern
arena of the war continue to give the
upper hand to the Russians, although
the Germans are rallying and seeking to
stem the Russian onrusn. It seems to
be officially confirmed that Italy has
landed forces in Albania and that Greeks
also are making their way into this ter
itory.
