SOME APPREHENSION
FELT IN ENGLAND

London, Oct. 7.-The announce.
ment that the Germans have again as.
sumed the offensive in the east and
west ends of the battle lines in France
has caused some apprehension Lere
that the government may be holding
back important news.
This continues in face of denials
by the Ufiicials, who DECLARE that -wl,et:
ever ground was yielded will be re,
gained when the reinforcements now
being moved reach their new posi-.
tions.
The explanation given by the critics
for the great activity of the Germans
is that they have discovered they
cannot keep the spirits of their men
by defensive campaign. So they are
stalking everything on a series OF
blows at the points Of the battle line
that their military aviators have de.
cided are the weakest.
It is known that there have been
Withdrawals from certain points on
the allied left to move the troops into
the territory just south of the Belgian
frontier. These Withdrawals must
have been reported to Won Kluck and
Won Boehm, who have taken advan,
tooo of them

No More Confiscation of Pri-

Cruz Closed

Mexico City, Sept. 3.--General cleo
tions are said to have been called for
November. Until these are held the
country will continue under military
rule. The government yesterday issued
a decree prohibiting the confiscation OF
property by army officers without a
signed order from General Carranza. The
decree also prohibits military arrests on
a mere accusation, two accusers being
required These accusers must prove
their charges against person within
seventy two hours or suffer the penalty
which would result were the accused
proven guilty. The decree is considered
necessary to prevent scores of innocent
persons being imprisoned and reckless
conhscation OF property.
A decree issued yesterday abolishes
collection of double customs duties be-
tween Vera Cruz and the capital. These
double duties were levied by the Huerta
regime because OF the American occupa-
ton of Vera Cruz. In the future goods
which have paid duty at Vera Cruz will
be allowed free passage at Orizaba. The
