President Gutierrez will enter Mex

were made pubklic at the state de-
partment.
Two dispatches from Consul Silli-
man and the Brazilian minister at
Mexico City, which were read TO
President Wilson and his cabinet by
Secretary Bryan, were given out in
paraphrase. They show that while
General Emiliano Zapata has been in
Mexico City, he has declined to go
to the national palace, keeping his
headquarters in the suburbs. I'm
official information from the Mexi-
can capital is to the effect that Gem
eral Villa similarly has arrived in the
outskirts of the city and that both
chiefs await the arrival Of Provision
al President Gutierrez.
The official dispatches gave a
more hopeful and optimistic review
Of conditions than the American gov
ernment has received In many weeks.
Carranza Not Worried.
Vera Cruz, Mexico. That General
Francisco Villa has entered Mexico
City, under a working agreement
with Emiliano Zapata, seemingly has
not lowered the spirits Of the follow
ers of Venustiano Carranze here.
They say that the campaign against
the newp artnership will be pushed
vigorously from the west, south and
north.
Carranza is visiting Tezuitlan, the
terminus OF the branch of the inter-
oceanic railroad extending towards
Tuxpam, and has delayed his return
to Vera Cruz. General Obregon has
left Carranza's party and gone far;

said.

ports from the rival headquarters In
dictate that any decisive results on
either side ore still in the balance,
although on the face of known facts
the conviction is growing that the
German general, MacKensen, has
done at Lodz what Bazaine in the
Franco-Prussian war failed to do at
Metz-saved his army after it was
encircled by the enemy. But it is
equally clear that the German tact
ical plan for the taking of Warsaw
has again failed, according to prevail
ing opinions here.

Silesia has been rendered impossible
for the present remains to be seen
Little activity along the Austrian
front is reported. The exception is
the assertion from Vienna of an Aus
trian victory with the capture Of
quantities of prisoners and munitions
of war along the southern line, but
there is nothing to indicate that Rus
sia has given way in her evident in
tention of invading the rich German
provinces by way of Cracow. The
latest official Vienna reports declare
that calm prevailed on the Cracow
front, but that fighting continued in
the Carapathians.
Servia's Situation Bad.
A dispatch from Sofia Bulgaria, to
Reuters, says a report received there,
indicate that the situation of Servia
is critical. The Servian army, it is
declared, has been withdrawn from
Belgrade and telegraphic commune
cation between Belgrade and Nish,
the present location of the capital,
has been interrupted.
Belgian Premier Loses Son.
Telegraphing from Amsterdam, a
Correspondent Of the Reuters Tele-
gram company says that one son OF
M. De Broqueville, the Belgian Pre-
mier, has been killed in battle, and
it is rumored that the second son lost
his life in action.

WHY GERMANY, is NOT
FEARFUL OF THE RUSSIANS

New York City.Failure OF: the
Russian fed army to fulfill the OPP
timistic predictions OF Petrograd is
now apparent There has been no
huge victory gained by the Slavs,
and Field Marshal Paulivon Hinden-
berg's army has not been split into
three parts, preliminary to its an
nihilation.
These highly cplored narratives
seem specially manufactured in Pc
trograd by correspondents who ap-
parently are at the mercy of highly
Imaginative Slavs for their informa-
'tion. The Russians are paying lit
tie attention ta the operations in
France and Belgium. The armies Of

the allies of the west are chiefly
thought of as being useful for divert
ing large part of the Austro-Ger-
man armies from the eastern opera
tons. Petrograd, therefore, regards
Russian field forces as being oppos-
ed by numerically inferior enemies,
thus making victory for the grand
duke certain at every encounter.
The danger of serious internal
disturbances il the Russian armies
show no improvement over their
form in the Japanese war is also an
important factor in explaining the
illogical optimism at Petrograd. 1t
would be dangerous to test the Sc
curity of the present bureaucracy if
the news were allowed to spread
throughout Russia that Won Hinden-
berg is holding the Slav armies far
from the Silesian frontier; 1t would
be more dangerous if the conviction
were to gain ground among the peo-
pie that the war may end without
any German territory in Russian pos
session. The Japs were outnumber-
ed two to one when they defeated the
Russians in the Manchurian cam
paign. Since then heavy additional
taxes have been assessed on the Rus
sian nation to reorganize the army,
and yet the army once more is being
held back by smaller numbers. pos
,sibly as inferior as during the Jap
anese war.
The lack of any serious Russian
initiative in the Caucasus. coupled
with the inability of the Slavs to
retain the offensive in Poland, sug-
gests that Russia may be suffering
from the same failure of equipment
that is SO seriously hampering the
allies in the west. At the outbreak
|of the war. the unlimited numbers
Russia could put in the field was a
fayorite dinner topic. Since then it
has. become known that soldiers do
not fight with their fists, but must
have guns and ammunition. Russia
probably lacks these supplies. 9th

REICHsTAG TO VOTE NEW
WAR LOAN FOR GERMANY

Z. Berlin, Germany, via London-The
reichstag meets today for the pur-
pose of voting war credit of 5,OO0,-
100000 marks ($1,250, ,000,0OO).
Dr.. Won Bethmann Hollweg, the inn
perial chancellor, conferred yester-
day with the leaders of the various
parties, explaining the military and
financial situation. He first receiv-
ed the socialist leaders.
1t is expected that the war credit
will be adopted unanimously and
practically without debate. The
government does not intend to raise
the new loan forthwith and probab-
ly will not do SO until spring.

ical Situation.

Official reports concerning the
campaign in Russian Poland,
which are available in the latest
dispatches, still failed to make
clear the confused situation in
the east, where for days a great
Russian victory had been claim
ed in unofficial advices from
Petrograd and London.
Sarl Kitchener's statement in
the House of Commons that the
Germans had suffered the great
est disaster in their history, re-
mained open to challenge by Ber-
lin. 1t is said that powerful Teu-
ton armies, driven on to desper-
ate efforts by the peril of their
position, have cut their way
through solid lines of enveloping
Russians. What it has cost has
not yet been told. But it is in
dicated that the Germans, in ex-
Treating themselves; have in
flicted enormous losses on the
enemy and have in turn paid a
terrible price. If it be true that
the Germans have freed them
selves from the present danger of
crushing defeat in Poland, the
situation to the north and south
is still pictured as highly menac-
ing to them. i.
The Kaiser in East Prussia.
The Importance of the CAM
paign to the north is indicated by
the fact that Emperor William
has gone into East Prussia per-
sonaly to direct the movements
against the invading Russians.
Nowhere else is German territory
threatened by\a invading army,
except in a small part Of Alsace,
which has been held by the
French since the early days Of the
war. To the south, in Galicia,
also, the Russians are reported to
be pressing forward VIGOROUSLY,
surrounding Cracow on three
sides. The fall of this Galician
stronghold might bring about a
German invasion.
Reports of furious fighting
along the User canal in Belgium,
which have been current for two
days, still lack confirmation. So
far as the official advices show,
the situation all along the battle
line of zoo miles is comparatively
quiet. Whether the Germans
have decided to make another
great effort to break through in
the northwest is not yet disclos-
ed.
