CATHOLICS MAKE AN APPEAL
State Department Receives Word That
Convention Has Instructed Gen.
eral Carranza to Comply With
American Requests.

FL Paso, Tex, Oct. 23-Advices
from Mexico City indicate that the
Aguas Calientes convention already
had resulted in failure and would not
be renewed.
An Official telegram from Guadala-
lara said military bulletins from the
national capital reported that Gen.
Antonio Villareal and others of the
Carranza delegates remained in Mex
leo City.
The convention adjourned in order,
1t was said, for the Carranza repre-
sentatives to invite their chief to at
tend the convention in person. 1t
was to have renewed the sessions to-
day. General Carranza's refusal to
go to Aguas Calientes was believed
to have occasioned the hitch in the
proceedings.
Washington, Oct. 23.-The Mexican
national convention at Aguas Cali
entes, which recently voted itself the
sovereign authority in Mexico, has ap-
pointed committee of five ito as
sumo the duties of five cabinet po-
sitions in Mexico City, according to
advices to the state department today.
The committee is to take charge of
the portfolios of foreign relations,
war, public instruction, justice and
finance.
Washington, Oct. 23.-Prompt with
drawal Of the American forces from
Vera Cruz was foreshadowed by the
approval given by the Mexican nation
al convention at Aguas Calientes to
the requests of the American govern
ment for protection of Mexicans who
served the United States and other de-
sired guarantees.
The state department received word
that the convention had instructed
General Carranza to comply with the
American governments requests, and
proclamation is to be issued by him
covering the various points involved.
The American government asked not
only that clericals and Mexicans who
served the American forces during
their occupation be free from molesta-
ton or punishment but that taxes and
customs duties already collected by
the American officers be not reim-
posed.
1t is not known just when the
troops and ships will be ordered from
Vera Cruz, but it was intimated the
action Of the United States would be
taken irrespective of the deliberations
of the convention on the question of a
provisional government
An appeal to the American govern
ment and people to protect the Catho-
lie clergy and church in Mexico and
demand reparation for outrages al
ready committed was filed with the
state department by a committee of
the American Federation of Catholic
societies.
Chihuahua, Mex, Oct 23.-General
Villa has issued an ultimatum in which
he announced that unless Carranza lis
removed from his self-appointed posi-
ton as the de facto president of Mex
leo, | propose, with the consent of my
commanders and my people, to go to
Mexico City and remove him by force"

noughts, which added their strength
to the British feet
The fire of the British guns is di-
rected and corrected constantly by OBJ
servers. The flying machines circle
low about the German positions, risk
ing death at every swoop, in order
to be within effective observation dis
lance. German submarines, with dead
~ torpedoes charged for their destruc-
tive thrust resting ready in their tubes,
are constantly menacing the bulls of
the great fighting ships.
The dykes Of the User have been cut
and the banks for considerable dis
tances have been flooded; while
stretching away in the direction of
the attacking German front at high
tide, the land is so inundated as eff
fectiyely to preclude the possibility
of any advance in force.
The ferocity of the three-cornered
bOmbardment continues undiminished.
The losses on both sides are reported
to be terrific
III me bIItISu udVaI commandment
the town of Slype, which was held
in force by the Germans, was utterly
destroyed, and the house occupied by
the German headquarters staff was
blown to bits.
More than fifty towns and villages
have been wiped out entirely or ruined
by the fighting, particularly by the ar
tillery fire. Artillery duels have been
a stirring feature of the hostilities in
the extreme north. In these long-range
fights with heavy guns many noncom-
batants nave been killed.

NO decision has yet been reached
in the eastern theater of war"
Plan Invasion of EnaIand.

The Hague, Oct. 20.-Germany, &C
cording to information received here
from Berlin, is preparing to deal Great
Britain decisive blow. The scheme
is to disembark several army corps
somewhere in the south Of England,
while the grand fleet is occupied with
fighting the German feet in the North
sea.
German experts believe the plan will
be entirely successful.
According to this information, as
soon as the last resistance of the Bel
gian army is disposed of there will
be a great movement of landsturm
troops from central Germany to Os-
tend and Zeebrugge, where they will
await an opportunity to cross to the
English shore and march on London,
where Zeppelins and Taubes will have
caused havoc and demoralized the pop
ulation.
Plans Great Sea Fight.
While this is taking place Admiral
Won IngenohPs feet. now confined at
Wilhelmshaven viii steam out into
the North sea for the great fight.
These German calculations rest on
the hypothesis that the south coast of
England will be left absolutely with
out protection, all of Admiral Sir
John Jellico's ships being engaged in
the great North sea battle.
The German newspapers, by way of
preparing public opinion for this great
stroke, publish extravagant dispatches
dilating on British nervousness and
the fear of unavoidable destruction by
Germany.
On the Eastern Frontier.
Petrograd, Oct. 22.-Russians have
won a great victory over the German
main forces, which are in full retreat.
The force now beaten is Germany's
best army against Russia.
1t was operating toward Warsaw,
between the Bzura and Pilftza, con-
tluents of the Vistula. The German
forces are still holding their positions.
but this is merely matter of time,
since the latter are now on the flank
and partly to the rear of the other
German armies,
In their retreat before the Russian
forces the Germans abandoned their
wounded and evacuated a strongly in
trenched position, where they were
expected to make q stand.

Victory for Allies Claimed.

London, Oct. 23.-On the western
Belgian coast there is being fought a
battle which, for display of advanced
military and naval science, for spec
tacular effect. for ferocity of action
and appalling losses, is realization of
the most fantastic dream picture of
the war of the future" ever put on pa
per or canvas.
The Amsterdam Nieuwe Van den
Dag reports that the burgomaster of
Wenduyne has telegraphed the fol-
lowing:
The victory is to the allies. They
have taken many prisoners between
Chalons and Longwy and have cap
tured 500 guns and 81 flags"
The Germans, heavily REINFORCED
by fresh land troops and by naval
brigade of 10000 men, have extended
their base from Ostend to Maria
kerke and Middlekerke, halfway be-
tween Ostend and Newport, and from
these positions are Smelling the Bel
gian line, which extends from Nieu-
port south along the River User,
distance of Is miles. with their left
flank resting on the coast.
1t is semi-offfcially reported in Pc
trograd that the number of German
troops sent to the eastern and west
ern theaters of the war since the mid
die Of September is 100000.
The Belgians are being aided by
the French land forces. the British
warships on the sea and the British
monitors and small gunboats in the

position, the Germans are replying to

UNCLE SANS CROPS TO

British Financier Says Cotton Exports

Ninety-day Paper.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Sir George
Paish, special adviser to the English
chancellor of the exchequer, after
conference with treasury officials
over the financial situation, spoke
with optimism as to the outlook.
Sir George expects a scheme can
be worked out that will make the ex-
port of 100000 600 of gold represent
Ing American debts in England I'M
necessary.
The treasury does not want to send
that enormous amount of gold out
OF the country But England does
want the temporary balance of trade
IN her favor settled in some way and
Sir George said that English manu-
facturers wanted cotton badly if they
can be assured that it has reached its
bottom price.
While the English financial expert
would not discuss ways and means
considered between himself. Secretary
McAdoo and members of the federal
reserve board, the inference was
drawn from what he said that 90-day
paper would be accepted as the equiv
alent of gold. This will be supplied
by the reserve bank.
There is no doubt in my mind that
eventually the balance of trade will
again be in your favor" he said. In
the months to come England will be
buying American wheat and cotton.
These purchases probably will not can
eel the sum owed to England in few
months, but it is bound to come in
time, In the meantime, arrangements
VIII be made so that the United States
VIII not be embarrassed but that will
at the same time assure England that
her money will be forthcoming when

Three DAYS of Eiuhtinu.

On the Battle Front, via Paris, Oct.
22.-Fighting has continued through
out three days with undated fury in
West Flanders from the North sea
across the French frontier. A terrific
battle ragged along three fronts, with
a total line of As miles.
Reports were received that the Eng
lish fleet was bombarding Ostend, oc-
cupied some days ago by the Ger
mans, but no mention of this was
made in the official communique.
From Newport to Dixmude, along
a line ten miles long, the allies were
engaged desperately in stemming the
German advance on Dunkirk Pre-
sumably the Belgian army led by
King Albert was in this engagement,
as it was reported at Furnes, few
miles to the eastward.
The report that the British fleet
is bombarding Ostend is given credi-
bility by another report that terrific
bombardment from the battleships,
combined with accurate artillery fire
from the naval brigade landed to re-
enforce the land forces, had forced
the Germans to abandon the project
of mounting their heavy artillery
along the coast for offensive opera
tons against the British warships.
British warships have sheIled Ger
man trenches on the Belgian coast,
killed 1900 Germans and brought
down two airships, a Zeppelin and
Taube, according to dispatches from
Dover
During the operations the British
fleet was attacked by three German
misunderstanding the first air,
sea and underwater battle of the
war. The submarines discharged sew
eral torpedoes, but did no damage.
Besides the 1900 killed in the
trenches, the dispatches report that
six German batteries were put out
of action.
