WASHINGTON. d. c., Nov. l4-Posi
tive that the Mexican people can work
out their own destiny the administra-
tion was today rushing its prepara
tions to eliminate all traces of Amcri
can domination in Mexico. Despite the
wild umors of impending anarchy the
responsible heads of the United States
believe that the entire Mexican situa-
tion it materially improved. II is con
sidered certain that some sort of com
promise agreement will yet be reached
by the opposing leaders in the troublous
republic TO the south. And even though
the worst comes TO worst, it is declared
to be absolutely certain that one, OF at
the most two, general battles viii de-
eide which OF the factions now essaying
power is to control, pending the res
toration OF real constitutional govern
ment.
II Is because II is realized that the
presence of American troops in Mex
leo is an ever-present source OF irri-
tation that the American regulars
have been ordered to leave Vera Cruz
by November %. Both factions have
protested TO the confidential repre-
sentatives of the State Department
that keeping the troops here and the
many wild irresponsible rumors
printed in the United States and sent
back to Mexico as actual facts have
complicated the situation. And be-
cause he believes that this is the ex-
act truth, Secretary of State Bryan
has asked that the troops be brought
home.
Before this action was taken, the
secretary conferred with the repre-
sentatives Of the A. b. c. powers.
They agreed that the Mexicans have
been coddled too much. Thrown oh
their own resources and forced to or
ganize stable government, It was be-
lieyed that the resultant crisis would
develop the real Mexican leader and
that out of the present chaos orderly
government would come much sooner
If the MeXicans realized that they
were accomplishing the task them
selves and not operating under th
least outside foreign influence.
Just who is to receive the more
than one million dollars collected in
customs receipts at the port of Vera
Cruz will not be decided for the pres
ent- Late yesterday, Secretary Bryan
received identical guarantees of re-
cognitiOn of foreign rights and of pro-
lection for Americans and other ma
uonalities from the representatives
OF Aguas Calientes convention. Simi-
lar assurances had already been re-
ceived from Carranza. Today. the
two factions, one of which is believed
certain to triumph in Mexican affairs
within the next few weeks, are pub
licly pledged to restore the govern
ment to the people Of Mexico; to
recognize rights of foreigners under
international regulations and to rule
the country with view to expediting

OFFICERS NOW HOPE
FOR INCREASED PAY

With the passage of the resolution
by CITY Council recommending that the
Police Commission increase the local po-
lice department by seven additional
men, members of the force are now
hoping that Council will act on the sug-
gestion made some time ago to increase
their pay. The Republican members Of
the Couneilmanic body favor the plan
and it is thought some action will be
taken in the matter within the next
two weeks. On Thursday evening, while
Council was in recess in Mayor HowelPs
Office. the Democratic members favored
the appointment of four additional men
to the force and an increase of ten per
cent. in wages. The Republican members
opposed this, claiming that seven men
had been asked for by the Police Com
missioners.
On Thursday night Councilman Sto-
yer, chairman of the finance committee,
practically admitted that the men would
receive an increase in wages when he
said he had a resolution 20 this effect in
his desk.
II was reported today that the new
men would be detailed to street duty as
patrolmen, as there was not an officer in
the department who could drill and in
struct a squad of horsemen. Whether
this win be done is not knowl.

STATE MAY USE MILITIA
TO ENFORCE QUARANTINE.
WILL SHOOT HUNTINGDOGS

Having heard that the regulations
issued yesterday by the State Live
Stock Sanitary Board prohibiting gun-
ming with dogs while the hoof and
mouth diseases is prevalent among
New Castle county cattle would be
ignored on Monday, the opening day
of the cunning season, Governor Mil
Ter today held a conference with Ad-
jutant General l. p. Wickersham OF
the Organized Militia as to the ad-
visibility of calling on the State mill
itia to patrol the roads in this county
and stop all hunting with dogs in an
effort to stamp out the disease. AT
the close of the conference Governor
Miller issued the following state
ment:
"The serious character of the pres
ent hoof and mouth disease does not
appear to be fully appreciated by
many of the residents Of New Castle
county. The Sanitary Live Stock
Board and the United States author
tiles are determined to prevent the
spread of the disease and this can
only be accomplished by all citizens
obeying the instructions of the au-
thorities. If this assistance is rem
dered on the part of all citizens Il
may be possible to confine the dis
ease to the localities where it now ex-
lists and stamp it out completely.
with this end in view every one
is requested TO cooperate with the
authorities. In case of failure of the
civil authorities to enforce these reg
ulations, arrangements have been
made to use the military force of the
State to enforce the quarantine or
ders; but il is hoped that the citizens
will so conduct themselves that such
action will not be made necessary"
After issuing the statement Gov
ernor Miller said that two well known
citizens of Brandywine hundred had
declared they intended to hunt with
dogs. irrespective of the orders from
the State authorities. Like threat. 1t
was said, had been heard from other
sources. Hence the determination Of
the state 70 enforce its order.
While both Governor Miller and Ad-
iutant General Wickersham refused TO
say lust what arrangements had been
made to call out the State Militia 10
patrol the county, it is understood that
Governor Miller will first call on Sher-
if Burris to assist in enforcing the law
and in case his deputies cannot cope
with the situation, the call on the State

english DREADNOUCHT
MAY have HIT MINE
BY The United Press.

LONDON, Nov. Whether the
super-dreadnough Audacious, one of
England's newest and greatest fight
ing ships, Is still patrolling the North
Sea or is being beached the victim
of a German mine. Is one of the war
mysteries here today.
II has been persistently rumored
that the Audacious hit a mine and
was so seriously damaged that it was
necessary for the converted White
Star liner Olympic TO tow her to a
harbor where the sea fighter was
beached. The Admiralty is silent as
to tne rumors which have been cir
culated.
The uncOnfrmed reports declare
that the Audacious sighted a vessel
flying the Swedish flag laying mines
of the Irish coast. The dreadnought
warned the Olympic by wireless and
very soon afterward hit one of the
mines herself One of the rumors
is that the boilers Of the Audacious
exploded and that upwards of 40
men of her crew we're injured, being
scalded when the boilers let go. II
will be possible TO raise the Au
dacious and repair her, Il is de-
clared.

ALLIES ADVANCE THEIR
Lines At BIXSCHOATE
BY a United Press staff Correspondent

By n United Press staff Correspondent.
PARIS, Nov. l4.-'rhe allies have sue
ceeded in advancing their line about five
lengths Of a mile east OF Bixschoote in
the continued bitter struggle between
Ypres and the coast
The ofiiciul communique issued by The
War Office this afternoon states that
the French troops in this section pushed
their way forward a kiometrc The
Germans continue their offensive, but
their attacks have been repealed all
along the line.
The advance Of the French east Of
Bixschoote. which is 20 the north OF
Ypres, indicates strengthening of the
Yprcs wedge, which extends into the
German lines. With Ypres as the pivot
point the swinging of the allied line
forward would carry the French toward
Langhemarcq as the point of new
wedge in the German position.

capped from the workhouse on last
Sunday, have been found.
Warden Crawford is conducting a
rigid investigation of the escape and
his report will be submitted TO the
Trustees Of the Workhouse at their

blame is attached to anyone at the
workhouse for the prisoners escape.
None of the guards are held RESPONSE
bic or negligent in connection with
the affair. for 1t is explained it is
simply one Of those things which will
happen in all similar institutions
from time time. even in the best
regulated prisons and even those
noted for their efficiency.

Militia will be made. II was announced
that every gunner seen in a field or
along road in this county on Mon
day or any other day that the quaran-
tine is in force, with a dog, will be
arrested.
It is likely that in case the Militia
is called on to enforce the quarantine
laws, members of Company E at New
ark. and Company II at New Castle as
well as one or more companies from
this city would be called on. Cover
nor Miller said the state soldiers
might also be used as patrols.
Today's action by Governor Miller
and the State Live Stock Sanitary
Board was taken after It was an
nounced that the foot and mouth dis
ease was spreading In all sections of
this county. Two additional cases
were reported. they being on the
farm of Mrs. John Richardson. a few
miles from this city on the Newport
pike. other cases were reported at
Hockessin. At the latter place %
hogs and cows have been ordered
slaughtered by Governor Miller
In addition to notifying the gunners
that dogs will not be allowed to be
used for hunting in this county, atten-
tiOn is also called to the danger from
frequenting places where the cattle
disease exists On the Thompson
Bailey farm on Thursday farmer
from near Marshallton insisted on
visiting the farm and as a result he
was arrested and detained over night.
The Government officials caused the
farmer to have his clothing disinfect-
ed before he was allowed TO return
to his own farm. This is necessary
as even those who work about the
diseased cattle are compelled to wear
gum boots. and a rubber suit.
While the exact number of deputies
now on duty guarding the roads in Mill
Greek. White Clay creek and Chrissiana
hundreds is not given, it is understood
that fully score are on the watch for
violations of the laws. Each guard has
! been armed and he had instructions 20
shoot and kill every dog found with a
hunter or running close to an infected
farm
The New Castle County Farm Bureau,
composed of grangers from this county,
will meet at the State Fair Offices this
afternoon to consider the outbreak OF
the disease. County Agent Cooch was
busy today notifying grangers and far
mers of the meeting.
