OLD DIAz FACTION
 LAUNCHES REVOLT
ClENTIFICOS WILL WAGE WAR AGAINST CARRANZA AND

Fl Paso=A movement directed against the Carranza and Villa ele- ments in Mexico has been launched by the Cientifico party, which supported Diaz and the Huerta regime. The new movement is said to have receiv- ed the adherence of men formerly wealthy land owners.
 It is said a purported peace confer ence of prominent Mexicans set for February at San Antonio.

Fredirieo Gamboa, former cabinet minister under President Huerta, and once ambassador to the Washington government. is reported to be slated for the provisional presi- dency.
 Both officers and soldiers who fought with Orozco in his revolution have retained largely their organiza- tion, few of them taking part in the conflicts during the last year. Gen eral Ynez Salazar, former Orozco chieftain, already is in the f1eld in Chihuahua state.

RlIN OVER BY TRAIN; SLEEPS

Everybody at Paulsboro. N. J., IS talking of the miraculous escape or Patrick Morgan, who was literally run over by a train and still lives. While walking home, opposite the gas plant Pat decided to take nap, and while he does not remember doing so, he lay down between the rails.
 While he was not bound to the tracks" as in the melodrama, the train came along and passed over him and went 200 yards beyond before being stopped. Conductor Mercer and Bag gagemaster Sharp ran back to gather LID the remains. and were startled to find the man lying there without a scratch.
 They were even more puzzled when they had difficulty in awakening him. Pat was startled, too, and asked what they were going to do with him, as he stated he had not done anything.

BATTLE IN POLAND

f Russians Gan Follow Up Their hi tia Success Position Of Germans
 Before Warsaw Will Be Extinct.

London.-The battle now in prog ress between 35 and 40 miles from Warsaw is the hardest fought and most costly in life of any during the war. Many military authorities here say that the formation in which the Germans are attacking is more solid than any record in the history of or ganiZed warfare.
 Along narrow front of seven miles. near BorjimoW, they concentrated so, GOO men and 600 guns, and after two days furious bombardment with as- phyxiating shells, they advanced upon the Russian lines in dense forma- tfon, 10 men deep, evidently hoping to conquer by sheer weight. Of numbers. Some part of the Prussian guards were brought up and employed in this ter rife attack, with orders from the kaiser himself to break through the Russian line at any cost.
 Under the eyes of the czar the Rus. sians gained a signal success. Not on- ly were the German attacks repulsed
 
 themselves took the offensive, struck the Germans left flank, crossed the little river Bzura at it's mouth by the Vistula and took Dakhova, just about Sochaczew, capturing a German brl- gade. If they can follow up this stroke the position of the Germans before Warsaw will be critical.
 While the Germans with three-quar- ters of their forces along the Bzura continued to hammer at the Russian line, the Russians threw their forces across the Bzura at Kamien, near the junction of the Bzura, with the Wis tula and captured the German fortified position. At the same time they drove the Germans across the Bzura at Dak- hova. close to Sochaczew.
 At Kamion the Russians captured steel bulletproof shields, a number of quiek-tiring guns and in this district and on the upper RaWka River they captured several German eutposts.

ADMIRAL VON HOLSTER WARNS AGAINST PLAYING INTO ENG-

Berlin-Grand Admiral von Koes- League, in an address at Kiel Uni versity, discussed the considerations governing the part that is to be play ed by the German navy in the pres ent war.
 He declared that the relative strength of the German fleet com pared to the Anglo-German fleet is perhaps one to four
 The British, he added perhaps es- timated German lust for battle so highly that they had said to them selves. Some day they will come and we shall be able to assume battle in situation favorable for us .''
 That the offensive spirit of the ish,' the admiral continued, can just ly be assumed when one recalls that the Germans took an offensive against Englands east coast, whereas, the the German coast.
 We are full of the frmest conf dence in our feet" said Von Rooster, but We know that sea battle means death or victory, and that destroyed fleet cannot be replaced in the course of the war. even if it lasts for years.
 We must, ther,fore, under all con ditions. be cautious in our procedure and allow ourselves to be melted to no deed which might eventuate in our defeat.

English Language in Japan.

The spread of the English language among the people of Japan has been remarkably rapid. In the country's sec ondary schools alone there are someN one hundred thousand boys and girls who are studying English as a part of their course. Boys are required to study it for seven hours per week dur ing five years of their work in these schools and girls must study it at least half that much. It is predicted that within few generations English will be spoken almost universally in Japan, for it can claim the largest percentage Of school attendance of any country on the globe.-The Pathfinder.
