understood to be ready to Cooperate
with Villa, but Zapata has an unbIem-
ished record of four years lighting in
Mexico, during which he accepted nor
recognized the authority of any presi-
dent or general.
Torreon, Oct H.-Demands Of General
Carranza for the retirement of Generals
Villa and Zapata and the REIMBURSEMENT
Of their armies to him as a prerequisite
to his retirement from the post of chief
executive were refused tonight after
heated arguments in the Aguas Calientes
convention.
The first steps also were taken to de-
clare accepted Carranza's resignation,
which has not been rendered to this
convention. This would be equivalent to
ousting him.
Orders were received tonight from Gen
eral Villa, who is watching the progress
of the convention from his train at
Guadalupe, for the troops under his
command TO prepare at once for field
service. The order applied to COM
manders Of brigades as well as subor-
dinate officers and their soldiers.
This was taken to mean that Villa, in
compliance with an agreement with "a
pata and the Carranza generals, who
have aligned themselves in the conven-
ton against the aged first chief, is
to make good the ousting of
Carranza by force of arms, unless he

yeution.

President of Virginia Medical Society
Addresses Opening Session of
Annual Meeting Here.

Attended by several hundred members
and their wives, the forty-hfth annual
session of the Medical Society Of vlr-
ginia convened at the New Willard last
night.
Surg. Gen. William c. Gorgas. Of the
United States army. delivered the ad-
dress of welcome, assuring the visiting
physicians and surgeons the best wishes
OF President Wilson were with them and
that the chief executive as well as all
branches Of medicine in the government
warmly welcomed them to the Capital
Richard Byrd, speaker Of the Virginia
house of representatives, responded to
Surg. Gen. Gorgas' welcome.
DR.. William A. White, superintendent
of the Government Hospital for the In
sane, welcomed the visitors on behalf
Of the physicians and surgeons OF Wash
ington.
DR.. Stuart Mcclure, Of Richmond. Va.
responded on behalf OF the society, and
said Washington deserves TO become the
center of medical research. He stated
that it was probable Washington would
become the future home of the American
College Of Surgery, an organization to
broaden the profession and to eliminate
and exterminate Incompetent surgeons.
DR.. MCGUIRE assured local physicians
that any movement to make Washington
the worlds greatest medical center would
be heartily supported by the Medical
Society of Virginia.
The closing address of the evening
was delivered by DR.. Harnsberger. the
president, in which he declared that chill
dren of the twentieth century are not
properly disciplined by their parents. He
condemned beer gardens and dance halls
as breeding places of familiarity. and
familiarity as a destructive element Of
respect and love. He condemned pasteu-
rized milk as a food for children, and
said if a mother could not nurse a baby,
fresh cows milk should be given 1t.

have been taken to the German rear.
Ostend and Antwerp are now filling up,
and Bruges. Ghent and Thielt can hold
no more.
Still the German re-enforcements
seem never to cease and the numerical
strength OF their line seems ever to
increase.
Although the crossing of the User
and the other battles within the big
battle have cost Germany more men
tcompared with the area of hostilities)
than any other battle in the war, the
German war office, according to reports
telegraphed here, looks for an early
retirement by the allies and the
prompt attainment Of the collective
Of the camapign."
The main German hope seems to be
placed on their artillery. This, accord
ing ito the claims of Berlin has finally
been instrumental in driving on the
British ships cooperating with the
land forces on theN Belgian coast.
The Paris newspapers print a report
without comment that a British war
ship, reported to have been struck by
q shell from one of the German how
itzers, was in flames.
The fighting around Arras continues
and there are reports that the town
itself has been destroyed by a furious
bombardment of the German guns.
Another statement is that the Ger
mans have been forced to eyacuats
several important positions in this vi
cinity. The oficial report today ig-
nored the activity here. Several bat
teries Of German artillery have been
silenced between Scissors and Berry,
au-Bac, according to the afternoon Of
fetal communiQue.

period our exports to Russia increased
from $l6,576.62s In 1913 to 1882 ,129 in
1914.
Trade with France Keeps Up.
The war apparently has had no effect
upon our trade with France. In Sep
tember, 1913, our exports to that country
were valued, at 7.552, ,756; they increased
to Sl9,0OS,5l0 in September Of this year.
For the. two periods under consideration
American exports to France increased
from so, $50. in 1918, to ss4,616.314. in
1914. There was a sharp decline in our
sales to Belgium. Exports to that coun-
try dropped from $4,7ss.174. in Septem-
Der. 1918, to $T47,sO0: for the two nine
months periods the decline was from $ls,-
1885, in 1913, to S33,4f4,275.
Another statement issued by the De-
partment Of Commerce deals with i'm
ports for the twelve months ended Sep
tember 30, this year, as compared with
the twelve months ended September, 1919
This shows marked Increases. in our pur-
chases abroad of cattle. corn, oats, meat
and dairy products, wool, wheat sheep,
and eggs. In the two periods, for ex-
ample, cattle imports increased from more
than 5000 900, in 1873 to nearly S21 600 900
in 1914. In 1914 the United States imported
nearly 100000 worth OF corn, as COM
pared with less than 10000 in 1913.

Oct. 27,--The Germans have made nc
progress and only succeeded in pass
ing the User In small numbers which
have been easily dealt with by the Bel
gians and French artillery.
Meanwhile Nieuport is.being subject
ed TO q terrible bombardment from
heavy howitzers. Shrapnsl shells in a
never-ending stream are searching
every street and doing vast damage.

Bile 70 enter. and waiting ambulances
could not bring away the wounded.
Further TO the southeast along the line
Of the User. between Mannekersvere and
Raoscappelle, the fring Is also tremend-
GUS II became evident that the Ger
mans are taking advantage of the mist
prevailing, by pressing home the attack
on grand scale.
Throughout, the afternoon numbers OF
wounded began coming In from the front.
Forced to Retreat.
The firing was tremendous throughout
the afternoon. There seemed no cessa-
tion. TO the continuous roar Of guns About
o'clock the situation changed for the
worse. The road leading to the town
was blocked by a crowd Of wounded SOL
diers who had been forced by the sever
lty OF the German fire to leave their
badly constructed intrenchments.
For six days these men CALAMITY
held their positions and during this
time their losses had been very heavy.
Now had come the moment when hu-
man nature could stand no more OF this
continuous strain. Two batteries of
artillery also retreated and several ma
chine gun sections. The retirement be-
came perfectly orderly directly the
outskirts Of the town were reached and
the units rapidly rallied.
About $50 o'clock the Germans be-
gan to she'll Nieuport. Many inhabIt-
ants had ventured forth from cellars
owing to the cessation OF the bonn
bardment and were caught before they
could regain shelter. Several were
killed and others wounded.
