Be Candidatf far Reelection

Washington, Sept. 2-Vicc-
president Marshall authoriz-
ed the publication of a state
ment here today that Presi-
dent Wilson would be a can
didate for reelection.
Secretary Tumulty said the
White House knew nothing

not comment upon it.
The Vice-president's state
ment was made in the course
of an authorized interview on
the political situation, which
concluded thus:
1.-THE Democratic party
will have but one candidate
for president in 1916, and his
name happens to be Wood
row Wilson. He will have the
entire and unqualified and
united support of his party.
Fair-minded Democrats will
recognize that he is entitled
to a chance for a second
term to prove the utility of
his policies.

Mexico City, March 25.-The war de-

under Villa were routed at Torreon with
great slaughter early to-day.
Eight hundred men under Gen. Joaquin

announced, arrived opportunely from Sal

retreating northward, with the federals
pounding at their rear.
1t is admitted that Villas men entered
Lerdo. a suburb of Torreon, but it is ex-
planned that this was a ruse on the part
of General Velasco to ambush them. As
soon as they We're we'll into the terri

There is one certain road to revou-

is for the government to allow its policy

of the officers of the army"
James Ramsay Macdonald, socialist
and labor member, declared that the
officers had acted as politicians.
Lord Charles Beresford unionist
agreed that the army and navy must
be absolutely under the control of the
government. The cardinal error" he
, said, was in asking the officers if
they would undertake certain duties"

j. Austen Chamberlain complained
that the government had revealed
! nothing concerning the instructions
given by the army council to General
Paget. If. as has been stated the gov

would never have told General Paget
to excuse from service the officers
