STRUGGLE At PORTS
IS NEARING CRISIS
FIGHTING MUST de MORE IN
OPEN WITH LESS CHANCE
FOR ENHANCEMENT.
GERMANS CLAIM P0SITI0N>
Allies Also, Are Satisfied With Re-
ports From Front.-Fierce Fight
ing Continues in East.

London,-The attempted advance Of
the German forces along the coast
of Belgium and Northen France, ap-
parently with the aim of establishing
themselves in British channel ports
so they may menace England, has
reached critical point.
The extreme western fighting line
Roulers to Newport on the coast
about half way between Ostend and
Dunkirk. According to the French Of
fetal announcement German heavy ar
tillery, presumably used in the siege
of Antwerp was bombarded the front
from Newport to Vladslo, which is
about 10 miles from the coast.
The allies also have made progress
eastward from point south of
Armentieres toward Lille on a line
running roughly to Arras. The report
tells of house-to-house fighting in
which the allies are advancing. The
battle has ragged around Arras with
out respite for 10 days, and on the
part Of the allied troops with per-
severance and a spirit which never for
a moment has been relaxed"
The German official report covers
these operations more tersely. 1t says
the attacks northwest of Lille have
been .repulsed with heavy losses to
the allies.
English and French papers gather
encouragement from reports pub
ished from their side. From the Ger
man point of view it is possible the
Germans have improved their posi-
ton and with the forces that besieg-
ed Antwerp and reinforcements from
many are attempting along the coast
another sweeping movement.
In this field of action it appears
inevitable there soon must be some
decisive result. The country's fat
ness seems to have made it impossi-
BILE for the two armies to entrench
and face each other without import
ant change in position for weeks, as
they have done across Northern
France.
Great battles continue in the East
ern theater between the Russian and
Austrian German forces. Reports from
both sides are brief and contradict
ory. Petrograd claims the Russians
have won partial success in severe
fighting before Warsaw and Przemys1
Vienna declares the Austro-German
armies have made advances in both
regions and that the Russian casual
ties at Przemysl number 10000.

Provisional President of Mckee
Resigns to Aguas Galleries
Convention
CLAIM VICTORY FOR VILLA
Villa Agency in Washington Announc-
90 That Provisional Presidents
Resignation Was Accepted by
Aouascaiientes Convention.

Washington.-The resignation OF
Gen. Venustiano Carranza as First
Chief of the Constitutionalists and
provisional President of Mexico was
laid before the Aguascalientes peace
conference and promptly accepted by
that body.
According to the Villa agency state
ment, Antonio Villareal was nomln-
ated for the provisional Presidency. 1t
is said no serious opposition had de-
veloped against it at the time the
message to Washington was sent
Villareal was mentioned most favor
ably in the dispatches to the State
Department as a probable choice for
the Presidency. He now holds the
post of military Governor of Nuevo
Leon and was chosen permanent chair
man of the meeting at Aguascalientes.
Villas adherents have announced that
Villareal is acceptable to them for the
provisional Presidency.
Say 1t Means Peace.
This statement was made by the
Villa agency regarding the nomina-
ton of Villareal:
The nomination of Villareal and
his certain election to the provi-
sional Presidency is a complete vic
tory for Villa and his supporters.
Villareal is man of exceptional
ability and his election to the Presi-
dency will have the effect of setting
aside the personal differences be-
tween leaders in Mexican affairs,
which have kept the republic in a
fernent since the overthrow of Diaz
and rs believed to mark the begin
ming OF an era of peace and pros
perity in the harassed southern re-
public.
The resignation of Carranza will
mean, it is said, "A quick adjustment
of the Vera Cruz incident. This
Government has been prepared for
weeks to withdraw the troops the
minute Carranza promised to protect
from second levy Mexican citizens
there who have paid duties on i'm
ports to the American officials in pos
session of the Vera Cruz port, and
also protect Mexicans who had aided
the American officials in the admin
istration of Vera Cruz. Villa has
made it known that he felt that the
proposals of the United States should
be accepted without bubble.

THE NEEDS OF THE RAILROADS.
Argument Has Begun For the Five
Percent Rate Increase.

Argument Has Begun For the Five
Percent Rate Increase.
hington.-Business depression
and the European war were assign
ed as reasons why Eastern railroads
should have at least a five per cent
increase in freight, by representatives
of systems appearing before the inter
state commerce commission. It was
asserted that these two conditions had
led to a shrinkage of more than $751;
100000 in the annual net revenues of
38 Eastern roads, operating more
than $4,000 miles of railway.
Daniel e. Willard, president of the
Baltimore & Ohio and head of the
conference of presidents in the lines
involved, was the principal witness.
He was supported by mass of Stats
tics presented by Vice President Shi-
yer of the same line. Further evil
dence will be submitted.
In opposition to the plea of the
carriers, Cliord Thorne appeared for
public service corporations of several
middle Western and inter-mountain
states and also for shippers organi-
cations in the region affected.

WARS VICTIMS
OVER 100000
Europe Burdened with Belgium's
Homeless Refugees
ANTWERP ADDS 100000 MORE
Oestitution and Intense Suffering on
Every Hand in Europe-ReIgians
Driven From Their Homes by
Fire and the Sword.

London.-Three million refugees
without homes or money, in many
cases lacking sufficient clothing and
even food, make one result of little
more than two months of warfare
in Europe.
The fall of Antwerp added fully
100000 men, women and children to
the already long list of homeless suf
ferers who must depend on the bounty
of others for their keep. France, Eng
land, Germany, Austria, Russia and
Belgium have all felt the effect Of the
sufferings of this great army. Eng
land and France especially and the
neutral nation of Holland have been
the chief sufferers, for to them have
come the homeless hordes of Belgians
fleeing from their homes or driven
out by the fire and sword that has
swept through the country.
1t is estimated that there are 1,oo0,-
00G refugees in France, more than
half that number in England, at
least 100000 in Holland. Refugees
from the border towns of Germany
and the East Prussian territory occu-
pied by Russia have fed to the in
terror in what numbers cannot be
estimated. On the other hand, Rus
SLAMS from Poland and the border
towns attacked by the Germans have
been forced to fee to the interior.
Thousands of refugees from Galicia
and the parts of Hungary occupied
by the Russians have fed to the in.
terror and Vienna and other large
Austrian and Hungarian cities are
taxed to their almost to care for
them. How many of these refugees
there are it is almost impossible to.
say, and 100000 is probably a con-
servative estin ate of the great num-
bers who have felt the full force of
the warfare.
Besides those that have fed from
their homes there are thousands in
different parts of Belgium and parts
of France, possibly starving and
hop elessl, facing the coming winter.

COTTON KEYSTONE
OF ENGLISH DEBT
SIR GEORGE PAISH SAYS GREAT
BRITAIN MANUFACTURERS
ARE WAITING.
Unwilling to Buy Cotton Until As
sured Minimum Price Has Been
Reached in the Drop.

Washington-Sir George Paish,
special adviser to the English Chan
cellor of the Exchequer; Basil E.
Blackett of the English Treasury;
Secretary McAdoo and the Federal
Reserve Board began series of con-
ferences here which are expected to
have an important effect on financial
conditions in Great Britain and the
United States. Restoration of nor
NAL conditions in foreign exchange
dealings between the two countries
is the object of the meetings and they
probably will have direct influence
on the disposition of the South's cot
ton crop.
. 1t became known that officials of
the American Government feel keen
ly that cotton is the crux of stu
alton which has many ramificatlons
and that on the success of plans to
care for the surplus and on the will
lingness of manufacturers to buy cot
ton depends the value of Sir Georges
visit.
It is probable that before Sir
George returns to England the ques-
ton of a reopening of the London and
New York Stock Exchange will be
considered. 1t was predicted here
that the London exchange would re-
open shortly, with the British Govern
ment urging that London brokers to
not call loans Immediately. If the
London market is not greatly affect
ed it's resumption of business may be
followed by the reOpening of the New
York exchange. So much depends on
the cotton problem that there prob
ably will be no further conferences
until a committee of the board, which
is handling the proposed $3.50, 900
cotton loan fund plan, has found
satisfactory solution. The committee,
Secretary McAdoo, Paul M. Warburg
and w. P G. Harding, returned from
New York, where it had been at work
in an effort to convince New York
bankers of the feasibility and sound
ness of plans for the fund.
The New York bankers promised
to put up one-third of the loan fund
but prescribed conditions it was dis
covered could not legally be met.
The reserve board members propos-
ed different conditions and as a fur
Their inducement offered to let the
Northern section of the United States
put up three dollars to every one put
up by Southern bankers with the
understanding that the Northern
banks would have a prior lien for
their mony. Under this tentative plan
Southern banks would have actual
management of the fund, the whole
however to be under supervision of
the reserve board. Other conditions
as to interest rate and price of cotton
were said to be left unchanged.

IRISH PLEDGED TO BELGIUM.
Nationalist Resolve Not to Sheath
Swords Until Success.

NaN'onaIISeS Resolve NOT 70 ShSaSh
Swords Until Success.
London. - Irish Nationalist who
crowded Central Hall adopted the fol-
lowing pledge administered by T. P.
O'Connor
I'VE will never sheathe the sword
until Belgium has got back her free
dom; until every inch of her soil is
clear; until treaty is made, not on
scrap Of paper but on a foundation
behind which stand the millions of
the British race"
The meeting was called to express
confidence in the leadership of John
Redmond and to endorse action of
the Irish party in supporting ''the
war of the Allies against Prussian
militarism.'
Mr.. O'Connor said that for this
fundamental and supreme principle
the British had fought on hundreds
of battlefelds.
A member of the British relief
committee said:
''This business alone would be suffi-
cient to tax the energies of the Gov
eminent and the country even if we
did not have a war On our hands,"

Boston. The irresistible Braves

breaking rush toward the world
baseball championship here by de-
feating the Philadelphia Athletics 3
runs to 1 in the fourth and deciding

men, and once more the redoubtab BILE
Bronx lad COMPOUNDED the new thor
oughly demoralized Philadelphia slug
gers.
With this victory, the Boston Ma
tional League Club accomplished the
most sensational record in modern
professional baseball.
Beginning with their rush from
last place in the senior league in
the middle of July, the Braves have
broken traditions and records in the
national sport with speed and aban-
don during the last three months.
They emerged champions of the
world, leaving trail of startling
surprises and upsets in their wake
which will be hard to duplicate in
years to come.
Took Four Straight.
Last and far from the least of their
accomplishments was the overthrow
in four consecutive games of the
world famous baseball machine of
Connie Mack, with it's 100000 infield,
home run heroes and corps of skill
fully blended veteran and youthful
pitching stars. The new champions
gathered under the management of
George Stallings are celebrating their
ascent to the championship throne,
while the wreck of the Athletics base
ball juggernaut returned to the home
of William Penn, stunned and stupi-
fed by the unlocked for calamity
which, temporarily at least, racked
