event the Mexican lands will be COM
PEELED to pay the same water rates

they have been practically exempt

also been anxious to have the irriga-

the exclamation, without cost to them,

This circumstance leads to the be.
lief here that the withdrawal OF
troops from Belgium is not altogethe.
for the purpose Of reinforcing the
Austro-German line in the eastern
field. The removal of the headquar

experts that the German fighting line

Germany.
A dispatch to the Central News

"Trainload after trainload of Ger

Another dispatch from Amsterdam,

"Advices from Liege are to the eff
feet that German artillery regiments
with guns have returned from the
front and passed through Liege en-
route to Bromberg and Thorn on the
east front.
"Six hundred German wounded ar

Paris, Nov. 11.-Dixmude, Belgian
town around which has centered the
hardest fighting in Flanders, has been
captured by the Germans. This is ad
mitted in an official statement this
afternoon, but offsetting the admission
that Dixmude has been captured, it
is announced that Lombertzyde, north
of Nieuport, has been reoccupied by
the allies. The official communique
follows:
"On our left wing the battle was
resumed with great ferocity, particu-
larly between Nieuport and Lys. In :.
general way our front was maintained.
Despite the violence and strength Of
the German attacks, we succeeded in
reoccupying Lombardtzyde and ad-
vancing beyond that locality, but to-
ward the end of the day the Germans
succeeded in taking Dixmude from us.
We continue to hold the outlying dis
tricts around this village.
"On the canal from Nieuport to
Ypres, which is firmly held, the bat
tie is very hot. British troops, them
selves attacked at numerous points,
checked the enemy.
"On the rest of the front the stu
alton remains unchanged, except that
there was some progress by our forces
to the north of Soissones and in the
region to the west of Valley, on the
right bank of the Aisne."
Athens, Nov. lin addition to two
