resentatives to the convention. After
wards it usurped sovereign powers
that it did not possess and which
Carranza never sanctioned. But Car
rama, putting aside the considerations
and rising nobly to the demands of the
situation, expressed to the conven-
ton in writing his willingness not
only to resign as First Chief in charge
of the executive power of the nation,
but to become an exile from his cOun-
try if the delegates ask this of him.
The single condition that he stated
must govern this abdication was that
villa should resign his command Of
the Constitutionalist army of the
North and if the convention so de-
creed, must also leave Mexico.
Story Of Convention.
The convention on November 9Th
passed a resolution calling for the re-
tirement of both Carranza and Villa.
Antonio l. Villareal, Chairman of the
convention, thus describes subsequent
events:
after the absurd selection of Cen
eral Gutierrez as Provisional Presi-
dent for 20 days, which had been done

sure brought upon him by Villa, sum-
moned the latter to Aguascalientes
and placed him in command of all the

This act violated the previous reso-
luton of the convention and was con-
trary to its own mandates, or in other
words, contrary to the desires of what
was left of it. as it must be remem-
bered that out of the 1855 registered
delegates many had withdrawn for one
reason or another until at last there
were only 60 members left and IS out
of this 60 had been recalled by their
signatories. A quorum in the conven.
ton necessitated 70 delegates.
"a brief resume of the situation at
this critical time might be stated as

SERBIA'S LOSS IN WAR

ROME, Nov. 6.-No accurate esti-
 mate of the number of men which Serbia has lost since the beginning of the war is possible, but it is believed

 12O,000 men had suffered wounds, and that twenty per cent of them had died. Since the invasion of Serbia by the Teutons and Bulgarians the losses are not known but are believ- ed to bring the number up to more than ons,quarter of million. When

GARRISON WANTS
 ARMY OF MILLION
To Urge Increase of Regular Army
 t...it, ,... and Reserve Force of Eight Hundred Thousand Men.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. G. Secretary Garrison, of the war de- partment, has announced that he has completed the outline of the measure which congress will be ask ed to approve at the coming session, providing greater land forces of the United States. ". .
 Secretary Garrison believes the regular army should be increased to two hundred and fifty thousand men and a reserve force of four hundred thousand men created. The reserves would be required to take two months training each year for three years when they would become re- serves, enabling the department to have a defense force of more than one million men at the end of six years.
 The secretary's plan has been en- dorsed by President Wilson and will become an administration measure. It is believed that it will meet with little opposition as both members of the senate and house of representa- lives have signified their intention of measures for greater de- fense forces.

Premier of Peace Cabinet Desires to
 to Let Parliament Control.

ATHENS, Nov. 6.-A deadlock ex- ists between King Constantine and the parliament of Greece, which it is believed can only be broken by the king receding from his position.
 King Constantine, contrary to ex- pectations, has failed to call former Premier Venizelos to the premier ship and is insisting that Premier Zamais remain prime minister. The chamber of deputies has also en- dorsed the action of the king but par liament is clamoring for the return of Venizelos to power.
 Premier Zamais, in whose admin istration the Greek parliament has voted lack of confidence, is unwill- ing to remain at the head of the cab inet and has advised the king to ac- cede to the demands of parliament, fearing that the. people will rise in revolt.
 King Constantine is exerting ev- cry power to keep his country from being drawn into the struggle, but it is believed that he will be unable to maintain the position of unnatural neutrality now existing owing to the Allies armies having been permitted passage through Greece to Bulgaria.

 fa t. ..i
Has Announced that he Will oppose AJiministration's Policy for
 Greater Navy and Army.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. G. william Jennings Bryan, former Sec retary of state, in formal statement printed in newspapers here this morning announces that he will op- pose President Wilson's plans for a greater national defense, which he eharacterizes as a reversal of the United States policy of peace to one of menace to the nations of the world.
 MT. Bryan believes the European war has evidenced that nations which prepare for war must eventually be drawn into war and that power created for defensive purposes may at any time become menace to the peace of the world. He differs with Bfesident Wilson in believing that ions will continue to engage in Var so long as governments are made of men and believes that inter- national matters can be settled by arbitration or international courts.
 The opposition of Bryan to the na- tional defense movement to which President Wilson and the members of his cabinet are committed is be- Tievesf by Republican leaders to be the rock upon which the Democratic party will split and may result in Bryan's preventing Wilson securing the nomination.

OPENING OF COAL FIELDS
 WILL SWELL EXPORTS.

The figures recently issued by the Juneau customs office are full of won- derful significance. While Alaska's exports have not yet felt any of the effects of the commencement of work on the government railroad, nor has any coal yet been mined or shipped, the exports for the first seven months of this years were almost double those of the same period last year, and $4,437,sS0 greater than those of 1912, which was Alaska's banner year prior to this. In the light of these figures what has 1916. the year that marks the time when consid- erable portion of the Alaska railroad will be open for transportation. and the rich coal deposits finally begin to swell the export figures, got in store for the territory? .
