REBELS ARE NEUTRAL.
 The army and navy today continued consideration of plans to meet any eventua1ities but interest in their movements was overshadowed by that evinced in the work of the representa- tives of the South Aua<fjcan republics.
 A report today tlast Carranza and Villa, the constftutionalist leaders, had agreed to remain neutral in dealings between Huerta and the American government, .'so long as there was no invasion of their territory was an encouraging development.
 News that American Consul schmutz and no other Americans who had been detained at Aguas =Calientes by federal soldiers, had been released and were safe in Mexico City on their way to Vera Cruz. was re- lieving feature of tense situation created by previous reports that citi- zens of the United States had been subjected to persecution. Refugees continued to arrive at Vera Cruz from the Huerta. capital and special trains today were to pick up additional foreigners between Mexico City and the coast.

 Reports at the navy department to- day stated that Charles F. Sirnons had been in Mexico City March IS, when he said he iutanded to sail for the United states e1y in April. That was the last z4zerfnation concernfng the movements of simons or his as- sociates.

The Germans have now gotten into a

Germany must now have about all her

The stories of disaffection among the
German troops should be taken with
salt. So far the Germans have not shown
themselves as cutters. In fact the re.
ports from all the armies are to the effect
that IN no other war have men shown
more reckless bravery than in the pres.
ent conflict. In this regard there seems
to be no difference and the victory is
with numbers and equipment in almost
every case.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

All this week the German lines have
been tightening about Paris. At this
writing at the nearest point, ,LaFere,
they are about 30 or 40 miles away.
The fighting for the last ten days has
been almost continuous though Sunday
and Monday there appeared to be lull,
probably owing to fatigue on both sides
and to reform broken lines. In this
fighting the English troops seem to have
had the hardest struggle and report
losses of6,000. According to ths aumber
of English troops supposed tn be in
France this means large percentage.
Paris in preparing for long hard
seige. Among the preparations for de-
Tense is razing of outlying suburbs which
might afford shelter for the enemy.
This means an immense destruction of
rural property such as would natural
ly surround large city like Paris.
A naval conflict is reported from the
North Sea. During fog q couple of
small British destroyers worked in rather
close to the mouth of the Kiel canal,
German destroyers saw them and they
fed. But soon the fleeing dsstroyers
we're met by some larger vessels of the
English squadron and the pursuing Ger
man ships we're beaten off and five of the
German vessels sunk, and according to
some English authorities more than that.
About $50 German sailors were taken
prisoners after being rescusd from the
sea after their ships were sunk. The
English loss was small. a%
The few German cruisers that are at
sea do not seem to have inflicted much
damage to English merchantmen. But
on the other hand appear to have no
great difficulty in keeping out of the
way OF British men OF war.

At this writing the German armies
have been marching and fighting almost
continuously for ten days along battle
front of about two hundred miles, and
this following what must have been a
hard campaign in Belgium and Alsace
for two weeks previously. Itwould seem
as If they must by this time have about
reached the limit of human endurance.
Such: strenuous fighting and marching
means loss of sleep, bodily fatigue, hun
ger and shortness of other supplies.
When bodies of men are thus marching
continuously it is a superhuman task to
keep the grub and ammunition close to
the battle lines and the supply wagons
are often miles in the rear when meal
time comes.
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1914-09-04

1t has been a menth since war was de-
clared and for most of that time the
battling has been on or close to French
territory. One would think that almost
every man of fighting age would be IN the
defending army by this time. While II
is probable that Frenchmen are now
rallying to the colors, they seem to have
been remarkably slow.
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1914-09-04

While the allies have also been fight
ing and marching, in the back ward move-
ment they will have naturally been clos
er to food and other supplies most of the
time. and will have done less marching
as their lines grow closer all the time.
Hence they will be less fatigued as a
body than their opponents.
