IN MEXICO
NOW ASSURED
Warning Factions Reach an
Agreement >
NO DETAILS OF THE PACT
Villa and Zapata Agree to Support
Carranza, and il Is Believed Stable
Government Is Assured.

Washington, Aug 81. - Peace
throughout Mexico is the optimistic
estimate OF the situation in the Fepup-
lie expressed in statement made pub
lie by the Constitutionalist agency In
Washington.
Even Emiliano Zapata, the incorrlgl-
BILE and irreconcilable leader OF the
rebel forces in southwestern Mexico,
has come into the fold.
Generals Obregon and Villa have ar
ranged a composition of the difficulties
which recently arose in the state OF
Sonora and peace has been established
among the warning factions.
The Constitutionalist agency sums
up the situation as follows:
"Zapatas allegiance to the Constitu-
tionalist government is of great mo-
ment. 1t means the end of all guerrilla
warfare in southern Mexico and the
initiation of stable order and quiet In
ahose greatly harrassed provinces.
"The satisfactory settlement OF the
feud in Sonora between the followers
of Governor Maytorena and Colonel
Gales removes the possibility Of this
alteration growing into revolt
against the central overnment. Peace
is now virtually established through
the entire country"
The message from Mexico City did
not give any details of the agreement
reached between Zapata and Carranza
except that the former had pledged
himself to recognize the new govern
ment. 1t is known that Zapata has
been fighting for years to obtain agrar
ian reforms and it is thought that
when he was convinced that Carranza
was honestly determined to bring the
same reforms to the people that he
agreed readily Is cooperate with him.
Zapata was in sympathy with Madero
on this score, but reactionafg inft
ences succeeded in separating the tive
men.

more impressive Location for great
maritime celebration could not have
been chosen. The Exposition city will
face north upon the stream of traffic
that passes through the western portal
of America. On the south, east and
west rise the hills of San Francisco,
like the walls Of a vast amphitheater.
On a tree lined esplanade along the
harbor's edge visitors will view great
maritime pageants by day. By night
a series of marvellous Examinations
proceeding from great batteries Of col
ored searchlights will turn the EXPOSE
ton city into a fairyland.

Thanks to the activities Of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association
Of Baltimore, more largely perhaps
than to any other single factor, the
state of Maryland will not be without
adequate representation of its great re-
sources and manifold advantages and
will take her proper place among the
states at the Exposition. A bill which
will provide from $4,000 to 100000 to
cover the expense entailed by making
an exhibit is now in the hands of the
state senate and action will probably
be taken on the matter in very short
order.
The measure not only has the enthu-
siastic backing of the Merchants and
Manufacturers association of Balti-
more, but of Governor GoldsbGrOugh
and practically every important inter
est in the state. Maryland is actuatei,
as are the other states, by just desire
to participate In the trade expansion
and the increased immigration that are
sure to follow both the completion Of
the canal and the $5O,OO0,00O celebra-
ton wherewith the country is to OBJ
serve the event, for every state has
borne it's share In the building of the
canal, and each is entitled to its share
of the benefits. s.
1t Is obviously the yer. earnest de-
sire of Maryland's citizens-that the ex-
hibit Of their state SHALL in a small
-way,- be as--ef.4t. +eia-ttsive- the EE y=
position itself and that not only should
its products, manufactures and mate
rial resources and advantages be
shown, but that the beauties of the
state and the multitudinOus activities
of its people in every direction of en-
deayor be set forth to the view of the
millions who will visit the Panama
Pacific International Exposition at San
Francisco in 1915.
A unique feature of the Exposition
and 1t Is difficult to select from among
the thousands of brilliant features one
as being more interesting than anoth-
er-will be a continuous live stock
show, the greatest the world has
known. Fifty acres will he used for
live stock pavilions and show grounds.
The Exposition management has set
aside $4,000 for premiums for live
stock, while $225, ZOO is offered for har-
ness races. Breeding associations Of
the United States have SO far offered
$45 900 in premiums. This IS a total of
SAC, 900.

thew have not been molested since
Thursday.
There has, IL fact, been a fou1
and 5000. Since this fighting ceased the
French on the right anr left have
brought the German attack to a stand
still, it is declared.
Lord Kitchener's statement, which
was issued through the medium OF the
official information bureau, follows:
although the dispatches of Sir John
French as to the recent battle have
been received, it is possible now to
state what has been the British snare
in the recent operations.
"Theer has, in fact, been a 1oul
davis battle. During the whole OF this
period the British, in conformity WIFI
a general movement of the French ar
mics, were occupied in resisting and
checking the German advance and IN
Withdrawing to new lines Of defense.
1.-THE battle began at Mons on Sun
day. during which day and part of the
night the German attack, which was
stubbornly pressed and repeated, was
completely checked by the British
front. On Monday the oath, the Ger
mans made vigorous efforts in super
ior numbers to prevent the safe with
drawal of the British army and to
drive 1t into the fortress Of Maubeuge
This effort was frustrated by the
steadiness and skill with which the
British retirement was conducted.
1.-THE British retirement proceeded
on the 18th with continuous nght1ng'
though not on the scale of the pre-,
vious two days.
1.-THE battle on the 26th was OF
most severe and desperate character.
The troops offered superb and most
stubborn resistance to the tremendous
odds with which they were confronted
and at length extricated themselves In
good order, though with serious loss
and under the heaviest artillery ire.
No guns were taken b ythe enemy ex-
cept those the horses Of which had all
been killed or which were shattered
by high explosive shells.
General French estimates that dur.
ing the whole of these operations his
losses amounted to 5000 or 5000 men.
On the other hand, the losses suffered
by the Germans in their attack across
the open and through their dense for
nation are out of all proportion 40
those which we have suffered.
"In Landrecies alone on the 10Th,
as an instance, a German infantry brf.
gade advanced in close order into a
harrow street, which they completely
filed. Our machine guns were brought
to bear on this target from the end
Of the town. The head Of the column
was swept away. A frightful panic en-
sued, and 1t is estimated that 800 or
BOO dead and wounded Gek1ndhs were
left in this street alone"
