Washington, oct. 19-That the bu-

But no sooner was this war de-

Another matter which almost GER

The entire question of the use OF

London, oct lq.-ffhe crisis In the
German attempt to seize the French
channel ports scarcely twenty miles
from the coast of England, came to-
day with the French official an
nouncement that both the heavy guns
thnt destroyed the Antwerp forts and
the British fleet had taken part in
battle, the front of which extended
from Nicuport to Vladslo.
Heavy fighting near Dunkifk is an
nounced IN statements from both
Paris and Berlin The German war
office claims that the kaiser's troops
have reached the neighborhOod or
that port and that the inhabitants are
fleeing from both Dunkirk aud Bou-
lugnc
The Paris statement declares that
the Belgian army has rcpulsed the
Germans near Nieupoft, which is half
way between Oslend and Dunkirk. 1t
IL also stated that the British fleet
participated In the hnttle, the heavy
guns of the battloshlps helping TO hurl
the Germans haek.
IN regard ia the remainder of the
immense battle front, Berlin Is
silent while Paris claims progress has
been made between Arras and Koye
and near ST. Mihiel on the right bank
OF the Mense.
The allies also have made progress
eastward from a point south OF Ar
mentieres toward Lille ON IL line rum
Ming roughly 10 Arras. The report
tells of house to house fighting in
which he allies are advancing. The
battle has ragged around Arras without
respite for ten days and ON the part
OF the allied troops with Il perseve-
rance and a spirit which never for a
moment has been relaxed
The German official report covers
these operations more tersely. II
says that the attacks TO the west and
northwest Of Lille have been re-
pulsed with heavy LOSSES TO the allies.
The situation Is so dark that II is
impossible to judge of the exact trend
Of events The English and French
papers naturally gather encourage

The latest official reports To the
state department describe in detail the
visit last Saturday of General villa
la the convention at Aguas Calientes.
When the commander of the division
of the north arrived suspicious We're
awakened as TO his purpose, but when
he addressed the convention all doubt
was removed. General Villa said he
came to pledge his support TO the acts
OF the convention and to take the oath
and that he wanted TO go on record
50 that no one could ever say that he
was unpatriotic He was received
with storms of applause. Later he
embraced General Obregon, over
whom Villas break with Carranza oc-
cured recently.
As the two generals greeted each
other the convention went wild with
JOS. General Vilareal. chairman Of
the convention, made a speech saying
the country owed debt of gratitude
to General Villas military achieve
ments, but that they were as nothing
compared 10 his patriotism. Then
General Villa wrote his name on the
Mexican flag as did all the other dele
gates and kissed the banner, pledging
again amid "a storm of applause to
abide by the decisions Of the conven-
