One evening, few years ago,
Brander Matthews and Francis VII

ers' Club of New York, when the
former made the suggestion that they
write a letter to Mark Twain
"Rut.' objected Mr.. Wilson, I'VE

away travelling somewhere.

It is sure to md him. think he Is
some place in Europe, so we had bet

~cARRANZA AND VILLA CRASH.
Armies In First Big Battle East Of
Torreon.

ICTTCOn. r' r."
Ell Paso.-The first important battle
between the Carranza and Villa arm
les is in progress nea San Pedro de
las Colonies, esst of Torreon. Several
columns of Carranza troops from Goa
hula Statet, %aggregating about 5000
men under Colonel Ilifonse Vasquez,
are engaged by a slightly larger force
under General Villa.
Both sides have ample artillery and
the fighting is described as desperate.
The Carranza forces made a threat
ening movement to take Torreon and
to shut off Villas communication
with the North. Villa garrison in
Northern Mexico have been depleted
by the movement into Mexico City
and troops from the National Capital
probably will be sent to the northern
theater of a
1t appears that Carranza, from
Vera Cruz, has ordered a general
movement into the North. Four hun
dred men from General Hills forces
in the extreme east Of Sonora are
moving on Juarez, held by a small
Villa garrison. Five hundred Car
rama troops from Coahulla recently
passed below Sierra Blanca, Texas, on
their way toward Juarez.

RUSSIAN ARMY RETREATlNG.

Better Base of Operations.

Falling Back From Poland to Get
Better Base of Operations.
London.-"The Russians are retir-
ing along the entire front in Galicia
and Poland" |
This statement officially issued at
Vienna is the outstanding feature OF
news from the battle fronts. While
there is no confirmation from other
sources, such a move on the part OF
the Russians would be in line with the
announcements in P%etrrograd dis
patches that the Russians threatened
on both TANKS had decided to take up
new positions where they could better
meet the Austro-German onslaughts
from the C%arpathians to the East
Prussian frontier.
The Russian delay in fulfilling ex-
pectations that they would prove a
serious menace to German territory
is Disappointing the peoples of the Al
lied countries, but military men ex-
press the view that it Is better for
Russia to fight in her W territory,
where means Of communication would
be more on an equality.

SMALL GAINS AND LOSSES.
All Sides are Claiming Some Few
Successes.

SUCCESSES
In the offensive operations Of the
allies in the western war arena, In
teresting features are the loss in the
neighborhood of Nuve Chapelle of
several of the trenches recently cap
tured by the British and an advance
by the East Indians toward Richie
bourg rAvouve, as reported in the
latest French official communication.
This statement also indicates that the
Germans have not been lacking in the
offensive. 1t recordes, in addition, the
annihilalation of a German column at
Lihons.
In the east the situation is still IN
doubt.
According to the official state
ment from Petrograd, the Germans
have been repulsed in an attempt to
cross to the right bank of the Vistula
river in Poland and fighting in the
Bzura river district is developing. Re-
garding the victory which Germany
was reported to have o in Poland,
Berlin remains silent.
Austria claims important successes
in the battle of Limanowa in Gallicia,
where 2 1000 Russians are said to have
fallen into their hands.
A Berlin dispatch says that EN-
peror William has paid a visit to the
wounded soldiers at Fotsdam.

Observation-Disclosures there seems no
doubt the Russians are retreating, and
that for the present any expectation
the Allies may have held Of an early
invasion Of Germany must be dis
missed, considerable mystery sur
rounds the reported decisive German
victory which Berlin celebrated.
Vienna gives a few details Of fight
ing in the East. The claim is made
that the Russians have been driven
from their positions north of the Car
pathian mountains from Krosno to
Zaklicyn which would indicate that
part of the Southern line of railway
in Galicia again Is In the hands Of
the Austrians and that Piotrkow and
another Central Poland town have
been stormed, but silence is main
tanned as to North Poland where the
German vicotry is said to have been
achieved.

IN LOWER HOUSE
REPRESENTATIVES HELM AND

AL BLOWS.
DISCUSSION OF POSTAL BILL
Rule for Amendments Made Subject
of Bitter Passages, Involving
Several Members.

Washington,-After two days OF hot
words which eliminated in exchange
Of invitations to personal combat De-
tween Representatives Hefin OF Ala
bama and Moon of Tennessee, the
house adopted a special rule to con-
slider legislation for reforms demanded
by the p~ostoffice in connection with
the annual appropriation bill. A de-
Election Of democrates defeated a sim
liar rule, which provided for a con
sideration Of an amendment decreas-
ing postmasters' salaries, elimination
of assistant postmasters, experiment.
al substitution of contract service TOT
the rural delivery service, increase OF
salaries for rural carriers, changes IN
the compensation paid railroads for
CARRYING the mails and other reorgan'
ization plans of the department.
The rule was passed late with pro-
visions for cutting postmasters' SAL
aries, a%bolishing assistant postmastere
and the rural service substitution
scheme eliminated.
A speech by Representative Moon
after defeat of the original rule, IN
which he intimated that. some rail,
road influence" had operative to SHIFT
Democratic votes caused a bitter de-
bate here. Representative Helm de-
nounced Mr.. Moons statement as
false and untrue" Mr.. Moon chal-
lenged him to make the same state
ment off the floor Of the house. n
Mr.. Hefin expressed his willingness
to do so. The two representatives
were advancing t~hreateningly towards
each other when half a dozen mem
bers stepped in between them.
Republican Leader Mann, who had
led the fight against the original rule,
later renewed the controversy. =.
1.-THE charge has been made on this
floor" he said, that the influence OF
railroad interests has been felt in this
house. I believe it Is the duty OF the
house, if the charge is not true, to re-
pudiate the charge and condemn the
man who made it. If it is true, the
the house owes it to itself to investi'
gate the charge and punish those men
whose votes have been changed by
railroad influence"
Representative Ragsdale OF South
Carolina said that when the gentle
men charge that there is railroad IN
fiuence enough on the Democratic SIDE
Of the house to defeat this legislation
I do not believe it and repudiate It"
well, the gentleman has his opln-
ion," replied Representative Moon. III
the hit dog yelps, let him yelp."
Representative Webb Of North Car
DINA said he twas not Influenced by
railroads, but by my W colleagues
who 1 think are high-minded, honest
and conscientious men,"
A little later Representative Moon
in a brief speech disclaimed any in
tention to reflect on the honor or in
tegrity of any member Of the house,
He said that his speech was made in
the heat Of debate" and may have
been a little too rough" He offered
to withdraw any offensive language
he might have passed.
