Memorial Service in Honor of Miss
Edith Cavel.

London, Oct 30-A service at st.
Pauls cathedral in memory of Miss
Edita Ca,ell, the British nurse who
was executed in Brussels, was at
tended by a throng which recalled the
funeral of Lord Roberts at the cathe-
dral almost a year ago.
Conspicuous among the crowd
which waited patiently in the gloomy
fog until the doors were opened were
many wounded soldiers attended by
Red Cross nurses. The somber cloth
ing of the congregation which packed
the great edifice was relieved here
and there by spots of color of the uni
forms of soldiers and sailors, when
military and naval dignitaries took
their places. The only other seats
reserved were for the lord mayor, the
diplomatic corps of the entente allies
and 500 of Miss Cayell's fellow nurses

Douglas, Ariz., Oct 30.-Prepara-
tions have been completed for the
third battle at Aqua Prieta Sonora,
between various factions since Made
ro opened the war in Mexico five
years ago.
Five thousand American troops,
with sixteen 3-inch guns are modified
here to see that the Mexicans shoot
on their own side of the boundary.
Carranza troops lie behind an elabo-
rate system of earthworks awaiting
the approach of the Villa invaders.
The Carranza garrison at Aqua
Prieta numbers hardly more than g.
700 effective men and the reinforce
ments that General Gales is bringing
from Pedra Negras over the American
territory, with sixteen cannon and
twenty-four machine guns, cannot
reach here for two or three days.
This was the word brought by Gen
eral Benjamin Hill of Carranza S
army, who made ii known that he
does not intend to join the Carranza
forces, but that he will become one
of the interested noncombatants on
the American side of the boundary.
Whether Villa is in Sonora leading
in person the army of invasion was
not definitely known here. but his
fate is generally believed to hinge on
the imminent battle.
If he wins he probably will remain

Mexican situation-at least in Sonora
