The character OF the majority OF

persons and others who do not fear
the national and State banking sys-

cheering news.
After his busy night aboard the

As a result of the inquiries made

to whether or not Mexican soldiers
were being forced back across tho

Bliss today telegraphed the secretary
from San Antonio as follows:
so far as is known at these head
quarters what has been done at
Preside. Texas. is In accord with
unbroken practice from beginning all

Anxious Tor News
The Mexican financial agent was
more anxious to obtain news than
to give information He desired es-
pecially to know how the United
States regards the presence Of Charge
d 'Affaires OShaughnessy at President
Huerta's New Years reception In
Mexico City. He laid stress on the
fact that Mr. O'Shaughnessy accom-
panied the other diplomatic represen-
tatives and, therefore. his presence
cannot be construed as merely a per-
sonal visit. which would not have
been surprising in view of the good
relations which exist between Gen.
eral Huerta and the American dipio-
mat.
Senior de la Lama wondered If Mr..
oShaughnessy went to the reception
on his own initiative, or was instruct
ed to do so by Washington.
Another matter on which Senior de
la Lama sought information was the
interview of John Lind and President
Wilson on board the Chester yester-
day, and what credibility may be
placed In the report that the Mexi-
can policy of President Wilson has
undergone q change. He said he had
found sentiment in Europe strongly

Paris, Oct. 19.-The French war Of
flee gave out an official announcement
this afternoon as follows:
In Belgium the heavy artillery of
the enemy has cannonaded, but with
out result, the front from Neiport to
Vladsloo to the east of Dixmunde. The
forces Of the allies, and notably the
Belgian army, have not only repulsed
further attacks on the part of the Ger
mans, but have advanced as far as
Roulers.
"On our left wing, between the River
Lys and the canal of La Basse, we
have advanced in the direction of
Lille. There has been very stubborn
fighting in front from La Basse to Al
balm and to st. Nazairre. We are ad-
vancing from house to house in these
localities To the north and to the
south of Arras our troops have been
fighting without respite for more than
ten days, and with a perseverance and
a spirit which never for moment
have been relaxed.
In the region of Chaulnes we have
repulsed strong counter attack deliv-
cred by the enemy. and have won some
ground.
ION the center there is nothing to
report

of these dispatches in Saturdays off

stated that the Belgians had repulsed
several attempts of the Germans to
cross the River User, which is ten
niles nearer the coast than is the
Thoutrout, Roulers and Menin line,
which they occupied the previous day.
AS an offset to this, the British Of
fetal information bureau, in one Of
of its reports. said that the allies in
the northern area have driven the Ger
mans back more than 80 miles. The
precise location OF this advance and
retreat is not indicated, but it can
have been only at some point on this
western wing, where the Germans are
trying to resume their interrupted
dash on Paris by way Of the coast
