MODERN WAR is MERClFUL
Under Existing Conditions the Wound.
ed Are Given Fair Chance
to Recover to Health.

A general impression Is that with
powerful weapons of great precision
greater loss OF life and greater pain
are caused The view Is almsst GER
tainly inaccurate. The modern bull
let, says the Scotsman, unless 1t Is o.
the soft-nosed type, is on the whole
merciful, and either kills outright or
gives it's victim q fair chance Of re-
covery. 1t does not, as rule, mutt
late.
The ambulance corps was practical
ly unknown 60 years ago, and not
only is aid brought more rapidly to
the wounded, but it is far mere eff
fective than in the pre-Lister days.
Rapidity of conveyance has increased
beyond all comparison. In the pres
ent war it is true to say that in many
cases men have been lying in Brit.
ish hospital within "a hours Of re-
ceiving their wounds. II the risk Of
being hit is greater, the chances Of
recovery from injury have been i'm
mensely increased.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.


Mexico City.-Venustiano Carranza
submitted his resignation to the Aguas
Calientes convention.
His offer to relinquish his post as
supreme chief of the nation, however,
is conditional on the retirement to
private life of General Francisco Villa.
In offering to resign, General Car
rama said he was actuated only by the
highest motives of patriotism and that
acceptance or rejection of his offer
must depend on whether his elimina-
tion would contribute toward hasten
ing peace in the republic and the fur
therahce of true democratic IDEAS.
a plot to assassinate General Fran
cisco Villa by an agent commissioned
and paid by General Pablo Gonzales.
General Carranza's staunch supporter,
has resulted in the would-be assassin,
Francisco |. Mugia, being executed,
after making a confession before
George C. Carothers, the American
consular agent.
The arrest was not preceded by any
actual attempt to kill Villa, according
to the official version of the affair.
In his confession the prisoner declared
that he had been commissioned by c.
Robelo, the chief of police Of Mexico
City, but had received funds to carry
out his commission from the hands OF
General Gonzales.
General Carranza in a signed state.
ment received by Constitutional Con
sui Beltran at San Antonio, denied that
he had any part in the plot to kill Villa.
CarranZa admits the existence of a
well-organized plot to do away with
the fighting general. He mentions in
the statement the names of Manuel
Chao, General Rosalio Hernandez.
Maclovio Herrera and Luis Herrera.
Carranza says the plot has been in
existence for some time but declares
he rebuked his generals for such ac.
tions.

Summary Of EveNts. J

From the official reports issued
from German and French head
quarters it appears that the Ger
mans, finding it impossible to ad-
vance along the coast toward
Dunkirk, owing to the fire to
which they were subjected from
the British and French warships,
took a route little more inland
and have succeeded in crossing
the User Canal, which the Bel
gians have been defending stub
bOrnly for a week, to the west of
DiXmunde.
German Progress North Of Ypres.
They also have made progress tc
the northeast of Ypres and still are
in possession OF Roulers, towards
which the Allies were advancing last
week. and at one time were reported
TO have captured.

or the battles on the center and

are maintaining their positions in the
Argonne and on the heights OF the
Meuse. From unofficial sources 1t is
learned that the French have made
some advance In the mountains along
the Alsace border.
Five Nations In the Battle.
The fighting along the Belgian coast
probably is the most picturesque bat
tie ever fought. On shore the troops
OF five nations are tghting-the Aus
trians and Germans on one side, the
French. Belgian and English on the
other side. At sea British monitors,
gunboats. destroyers and submarines
are fighting side by side with French
warships. while at the same time they
are being subjected to attacks by Ger
man submarines and airships.
Heavy Rains Along Coast.
Torrential rains have been falling
recently near the scene OF the coast
fighting. making the flat country
sea OF mud. and this. with the net.

OF German guns extremely difficult.

Somerset county oystermen, fol-
lowing the recent raids upon the
private planting grounds of George
A. Cox and others on Cormal bar, IN
the mouth of the Manokin river, just
now seem to have become quiet.
1t was learned yesterday at the Of
fices of the Maryland Shellflsh
Commission that Swepson Earle the
Commission's engineer, was in the
Manokin, under the protection of
the State steamer Gov. Thomas,wlth
Capt. Howard in command, repair
ing the damage in the last raids.
This consists in re-establlshins
the buoys, torn up by the oyster
men which marked the outlines OF
the 100 acres leased by Cox and
his associates.
Gov. Goidsboroulgh received
telephone message last night from
Capt. Howard, stating that the bu-
oys had been relocated by Mr.
Earle without molestation by the
oystermen and that no signs of trou-
BILE were apparent.
Whether the new buoys will be
destroyed by the oystermen Is
question the answer OF which State
officials and residents of Somerset
are awaiting with some anxiety.
The county grand jury, sitting at
Princess Anne, is Investigating the
latest raids upon the Cox grounds,
spurred on by the charge delivered
to it Monday by Judge Stanford OF
the Circuit Court. 1t is likely that
indictments viii be brought against
number of residents of the low
err end of the county. charging
them with destroying the property
TO Cox and with molesting his oys-
ter grounds.
Indictments are now outstanding
against Somerset oystermen, it Is
understood, who are charged with
having participated in the raids on
the beds of planters about eigh-
teen months ago. Trial OF several
of these cases is looked Tor in
Princess Anne within the next few
days. Secretary Maltbie. of the
Shellfish Commission. who has but
recently returned to Baltimore from
Somerset, discussing the Manok:n
river case Yesterday, made 1t plain
that from the first the Commission
had held the disputed area to be
natural bar.
AS matter Of fact, when the
original survey OF Somerset waters
was made, under the act of 1906,
Cormal bar, having been used as
common longing grounds for gen.
erations, was included as natural
bar. not open to lease. Later, the
records of the Commission show.
Cox and a number Of oystermen
filed a petition of protest with tine
Circuit Court for Somerset, stating
that the ground was improperly
chartered and should be leasable.
The Court sustained his conten-
lions and reversed the action OF
the Shellfish Commission, where
upon Cox and IL other persons took
iup 10 acres each, the maximum
feasible under the old law as pri-
vate grounds.
