CARRANA SENTIMENT GROWS
RECOGNITION SEEMS CERTAIN IF
NO MILITARY CHANGES.
Villa Party Plans Extensive Guerrilla
Warfare to Show Strength to
Pan-Americans.

Washington, Sept. 81. Prospects
for the recognition of General Car
rama, it was admitted in official quar-
ters, are much more favorable than
they have been at any time since the
United States began to exert it's in
iuence toward the establishment of a
central government in Mexico.
The decision of the Pan-American
conference of diplomats in New York
to study within the next three weeks
"the material and moral capacity" of
the elements aspiring to recognition,
has led to the general belief here by
officials, that unless the military sit,
uation In Mexico was much changed
in that period, the recognition of the
Carranza movement practically is GER
tain.
To Investigate Mexican Affairs.
The United States and the several
governments which have taken the
situation under advisement intend,
however, to investigate carefully the
physical state OF affairs in Mexico.
To demonstrate in the meantime
that the Carranza movement does not
control the territory it claims in Mex.
leo will be the object of a delegation
of Villa-Zapata followers expected to
arrive here this week. They will be
heard by Secretary Lansing, as will
the representatives of Carranza. To
supplement their arguments here the
Villa party is planning an extensive
guerilla warfare, it is said by Enrique
c.. Lorente, Washington representa-.
tive of General Villa.

London, Sept. 21.-The Germans
have occupied Wilma, and by a wide
sweeping movement to the north Of
that city have succeeded in almost, II
not entirely, surrounding a portion Of
the Russian army, which is fighting in
the railway triangle between wilma
Ida and Vileika.
At any rate, the Russian forces in
this district either must fight their
way u eastward OF retire in a south
easterly direction, for the only railway
left entirely in their hands is that
thence to Baranovitchi.

Holds Off Mackensen.

The battle seemingly must be fought
out between the troops, now in the
district between Wilma, Ida and Sion
i'm, with the assistance OF any rein
forcements that can be spared to hold
the German force which has reached
Vileika.
At the southern end Of the line, Gen
eral Ivanoff is still keeping Field Mar
shall Won Mackensen at arms length
from the fortress OF Rovno, the key to
the route to Kiey, and in counter-at-
tacks has retaken a number of vii
lagos both in Yolhynia and Galicia.
Both the Germans and the French
claim minor victories ON the western
front, but neither there. in the Italian
theater nor in the ~Dardanelles, have
any events OF great moment been re-
ported.

Would Trap Russians.

The army of Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg. which took wilma and has
reached Vileika, to the east of wilma,
is working In close cooperation with
that Of Archduke Leopold of Bavaria
in an effort to catch a part of the Rus,
sian army, an operation which has
been SO often tried without success
since. the Austro-Germans commenced
their drive In Western Galicia in early
May.
The Russians express confidence in
the outcome of the battle which must
be decided before complete success
falls to one side or the other, but with
their northern armies closely held
along the Dvina and the German flank
well protected by their cavalry. which
recently occupied Widsy, across the
Vilna-Petrograd railway, II seems i'm
possible that any aid can come to them
from that direction.

PLANTS THAT MURDER

There are plants that are murderers,
kidnapers, advertisers, explorers and
storekeepers. The moccasin flower is
a wanton murderer. Its flowers are
SO shaped as to lure ants and other
wingless insects to them. Once inside
they have no chance to escape. There
they stay, struggling until they starve
to death. Some orchids, while not
considered insect eaters, undoubtedly
draw certain amount of nourishment
from the decayed bodies of their in
sect prey. Many other flowers trap
insects, which they kill and gradually
digest as food.
Indian Pipes are robbers and graft
The Colorado statesman., 1915-09-18

ers as they draw their living from the
roots of other plants.
The Jack-in-the-Pulpit is a shame
less kidnaper. His beautiful pulpit
has a slippery, treacherous lining.
When gnats and other small insects
enter in search of shelter and food.
they easily slide to the bottom, whence
escape is impossible. Here at the bot
tom of the pulpit may be found the
corpses of many wanderers, all kid
naped by the Reverend Jack!
The pitcher plant is another kidnap-
er, but in it's case it is the leaves that
are guilty.
There are plants that lure rats and
small animals into their cup-shaped
flowers to the destruction of the ro-
dent.
