VILLA FORCE WIN VICTORY
South, Capturing Many Towns and
Threatening Carranza's Line.

Washington.-With the occupation
Of Mexico City by Carranza forces I'M
der Gen. Pablo Gonzales, high officials
of the United States look hopefully
for the establishment of a government
in that city and the uninterrupted
passage of relief supplies to the fam
ine-stricken population.
Gen. Villa, however, has Informed
the American government that his vic
tory over the Carranza forces south
of Aguas Calientes was almost dec!-
sive and that he has sent a large force
of cavalry which already threatens
Gen. O%bregon's communication with
his base and is pressing onward with
in 100 miles of Mexico City after hav-
ing captured all the towns between
Leon and Irapuato.
Several thousand we'll equipped men
are in the flying column which Villa
has sent out under some of his trust
ed lieutenants. They are relying on
an alleged shortage of ammunition in
Obregon's army and their ability to
keep him from getting a further sup
play at his base. From these advices
officials conclude that the warfare in
Ceat>a1 Mexico is to be carried for
ward now with more vigor.

EDISON WILL HEAD BOARD
Daniels Names Advisory Board of CT
william Inventors to Make Improve
ments for u. S. Navy.

West Orange, N. J.-Thomas A. Edi-
son has accepted an invitation from
Secretary Daniels to head an advisory
board of civilian inventors for a bu-
reau of invention and development,
to be created in the Navy Department.
His acceptance will go forward imme-
diately to Washington, where the new
plans await word from the man who
can turn dreams into realities"
Mr.. Daniels idea of utilizing the in
ventive genius of Americans in and
out of the military and naval service
to meet conditions of warfare shown
in the conflict on lane and sea in Eu-
rope is outlined in a letter written
asking Mr.. Edison whether, as a pa
triotic service to his country, he would
undertake the task of advising the
proposed bureau. The plan is to have
several men prominent in special lines
of inventive research associated in the
work.
Among the great problems to be
laid before the investigators, the Sec
rotary mentioned submarine warfare,
adding that he felt sure that with Mr..
Edison's wonderful brain to help them
the ofIcers of the navy would be able
to meet this new danger with new de-
vices that will assure peace to our
country by their effectiveness"

MEXICO CITY is CAPTURED
Carranza Forces Under Gen. Gonzales
Carry 800 Carloads Of Food Into
the Famished City.

Washington.-The State Department,
has received a dispatch from Consul
Silliman at Vera Cruz saying that the
Carranza chief of staff had informed
him that Gen. Gonzales entered Mex.
leo City July 10; that casualties mum
bered 5000, and that the Zarata troops
had fed.
The next step is expected to be that
Gen. Carranza will present his claim to
the State Department for recognition
as the de facto power in Mexico.
Such a claim must be passed upon
by President Wilson personally, as he
has taken over entire direction of Mex
lear matters. 1t is stated by officials
that should a formal demand be made,
it will be referred at once to Cornish
for consideration.
The fighting on the outskirts of the
city was described as severe, "Zapatis'
tas having lost $500 men, four pieces
of artillery and a great quantity of
small arms and ammunition"
Gen. Gonzales says that the "re-
treating Zapatistas were pursued by a
portion of his army to cut off their re
treat"

BILLION WAR LOAN
Patriotic Spirit Runs High in England
in Subscribing to Huge Loan
to Run War.

London.-The session of Parliament
on July 13 was marked by q series OF
important announcements.
The chancellor OF the exchequer.
Reginald Mckenna, announced in the
House OF Commons that subscriptions
to the new wal loan had reached the
unprecedented figure of nearly $3.00O.-
100000, not including small sums 70
ceived at the postofices.
The president of the board Of trade.
Walter Runciman, aroused the House
that in view Of the failure OF South
Wales coal owners and miners to agree
on a wage scale, the government had
decided to apply to the mining Indus
try the munitions Of war act. This
makes it an offense to take part In a
strike or lockout unless differences
have been reported to the board OF
trade and the board has referred the
matter for settlement by one of the
methods prescribed by the act.
A serious view is taken of the refu.
sal of the miners to accept a compro-
mise, for even in the face of h gov
ernment's decision they threaten de.
fiance.
Most of the naval coal comes from
South Wales, and even before the trou'
BILE arose the supply was affected by
the enlistment in the army of $4,000
miners, which eventually made il
necessary for the government to stop
recruiting in the mining district OF
| Wales.

DIPLOMACY WILL BE USED
Washington Officials Make Effort &c
AIlay Feeling That Dangerous Cri-
sis Exists With Germany.

Washington.-The view which the
State Department holds as to the
means for the ultimate settlement of
the controversy between the United
States and Germany, if diplomatic re
lations fail, is the reference of the is
sues to an international commission.
This, it is explained, accounts for
the efforts of administration officials
to allay feeling that a grave and dan
gerous crisis has arisen, or is likely
to develop.
Officials of the State Department
let it be known that the present atti-
tude of this government is contained in
the following four principles and that
it is to be expected they will be adj
vanced in The reply of the United
States to the latest German note:
First-A state of war cannot abridge
or destroy the rights of a neutral in
so-called zones established by one or
more belligerents in open or free seas.
Second-The creation of the war
zone and blockade by Germany is not
legally based, either on written or I'M
written international law, and the
same argument applies to any limita-
ton of free and open seas by Great
Britain.
Third-Suspicion of unarmed mer
chantmen cannot be pleaded as justif.
cation for attacks. There must be
a~ntecedent effort to exercise the right
and duty of visit and search.

Referring to statements appearing in
certain newspapers with reference to
the attitude of the president toward
the reply of the German government,
Secretary Tumulty gave out the fol-
lowing telegram which he had recelv.
ed from the president: please say
that from the moment of the arrival
of the official text Of the German note

JURY DECLARES
THAN TO BE SANE
JUDGE HENORiCK WILL FINALLY
DECIDE WHETHER HE is
TO BE FREE.
ENDS NINE YEARS FIGHT
Slayer of Stanford White Appears
Greatly Pleased With Outcome OF
Long Struggle to Gain His
Liberty.

New York.-Harry Kendall Thaw
On July IA was declared sane by a jury
which for nearly three weeks had lis
tened to testimony given in the SUI
preme court here before Justice Peter
Hendrick. ~Forty-eight minutes were
consumed and two ballots were taken
in reaching a verdict.
Justice Hedrick will announce
whether the commitment upon which
Thaw was incarcerated in the state
hospital for the criminal insane at
Mattewan shall be vacated, thereby
giving to the slayer of Stanford White
the liberty for which he has fought in
the courts for nine years.
In reply to a question by the clerk
of the court as to whether a verdict
had been reached the foreman handed
over a sheet of legal paper, which was
passed to the justice on the bench.
Justice Hendrick read it and handed
it back to the clerk.
Gentlemen of the jury" said the
clerk, 1.-The question you have been
asked is this: Is Harry X. Thaw now

Meanwhile Thaw, who until the yer
dict was announced sat at the counsel
table with his chin resting in a hand
kerchief, had turned around and grasp,

sci. Then he went to where his moth
er was sitting a few feet away, and
throwing his arms o her neck
kissed her twice. Mrs. Thaw at the
same time patted her daughter, Mrs

over troop trains and that arrange

and that they hoped soon to feed from
5000 to 10000 persons daily. Addi-
tional dispatches confirmed the report
that the Carranza forces had recap

treating Zapata army and that there
was no danger from a water famine.

sured his agents here that he had ex-
tended every protection to MeXicans
and foreigners within the capital and

GERMANS CAPTURE SOUCHEZ
Gas, Bombs and 8ayonet Used to Take
Possession of Cemetery, Key to
Important Position.

London.-By a savage attack in the
west the Germans have wrested from
the French the Souchez Cemetery,
seven miles north of Arras. The bat
tie. was one of the severest Of the
war. The cemetery was taken after a
gas attack, followed by hand-to-hand
fighting with bomb and bayonet.
The French admit the loss and are
fighting to regain the ground, which
they had won at a heavy cost.
Slowly the French had been tight
ening their grip on the village of Sou
chez. until the Germans, aware that
the capture of the entire position
would be an impartant step in the
French offensive toward Lens and
Lille, launched a terrific commensurate
which left them masters of the shat
tered burial ground, with more than
$50 prisoners in their hands.
The cemetery is located on the road
to Arras and controls not only, this
highway, but the railway leading from
Carency will be the main avenu OF
French advance on Souchez. Behind
Souchez, slightly to the north, lies Gil
yenchy. To the southeast lies Vimy,
These have been the detectives of the
French drive. Recapture by the Ger.
mans of the elevated ground of the
cemetery balks the French plan OF
campaign, setting the allies back fully
a month in their campaign.
Fighting for the possession of the
position continues with great energy.
