MANY KILLED IN ATTACK
THAT CAPTURED CAPITAL
CarTanza Has Been At Vera
Cruz Since November
Says Dispatch x

Washington, Jan. 20. - Vigorous
fighting, in which large numbers Of
men were killed or wounded attended
the capture Of Mexico City by General
Alvaro Obregon, at the head of Car
ranzista troops, according to a dispatch
received this afternoon by the state
department from John II. Siliman,
United States consular agent.
Silliman's dispatch seemed TO remove
all doubt that the Mexican capital -hadi-
fallen.
According to this account obregon
marched into the city at Q o'clock
Thursday afternoon at the head Of 10,-
900 Carranzistil troops.
II Is admitted that a manifesto pro-
laiming the form Of government TO per-
vail in the capital during the Car
rama occupation Of tho city will be-
issued today.
Cardanzista agents here were juhil-
ant over the recapture OF the city.
They expressed the opinion, however,
that General Carranza would not move
his capital TO Mexico City from Vera
Cruz, az he believes that the principal
fighting Of the coming campaign win
center about Mcxieo City. He un-
dOubtedly will wish TO keep bis gov
ernment subordnates as far from tho
scene Of battle as possible, II Is
stated.
There will be considerable fighting
also, IL is believed here, at Saltillo,
Torreon, Aguas Calientes and Ciudad
Chihuahua. The present strategic plan
of General Obregon is believed to con-
template pushing General Villa north
ward until he is forced to cross tho
border into American territory.
II is not known whether General Car
ranzn himself is to return to Mexico
City at once but he undoubtedly will.
Obregon's entry marks the second
time the Carranzista troops have been
in control Of the national capital since
General Vietoriano Huerta was driven
out. On August 20 the first chief "
first went into the city and took
charge Of the government, The peace
which resulted was short lived, as Car
rama and villa quickly developed
serious differences, which eliminated
when a "peace convention" Of con-
stitutionaliat generals at Aguas Cal
ientes deposed Carfanza and elected
General Eulalio Gutierrez in his stead.
Carranza declined to abdicate but ho
evacuated Mexico City early in Novem-
ber and went 10 Vera Cruz after the
United States troops had abandoned
that city. He has been there since.

NeU Armies of Europe Will
Be in the Field Next Week

1000 less than the German strength in
the west.
Lord Kitchener's army of 100000
men ought to be fully equipped by
spring, but it is improbable that the
French will be able to add greatly to
their forces. Filling up the depleted
French ranks undoubtedly has made
heavy demands on frances trained
men. The French strength probably can
not be increased more than 100000
by spring, making the total number of
the allies in the west 100000.
1t is reasonable to suppose that Ger
many can meet this new force, man
for man, but it will not be necessary
for her to do so if a purely defensive
campaign is decided upon, since the al
lies have been able to hold their own
with their numerical inferiority. Ger
many probably will consider herself
capable of meeting the allies 100000
men with not more than 100000.
The spring campaign in the west,
therefore, may see 100000 men pitted
against each other.
The eastern situation may develop 80
as to compel Germany to depiete still
further her western fighting force. This,
in fact, is the unknown part Of the
problem, To Germany present eastern
force Of $4,000 must be added prob
ably 100000 Austrians, making a to.
tai of 2,424,000 men. Russia has prob
ably approximately the same number.
Austria and Germany may be able
to raise joint strength of 100000
men by spring Whether Russia can
surpass this is uncertain, but It is i'm
probable If the Slavs do no more than
equal the strength Of the Teutonic al.
lance, there will be total Of 6,000, 900
'he eastern battle line, excluding the
and Servian campaigns. Pos
