selection of neutral man as. pro- visional president pending the re. sumption of constitutional order.
 Outlines Aims of Revolution.
 Figures and argument are present. ed outlining the aims of the revolu- tion on ararlan reform, religious lib erty, popular education, municipal self-government and the workings of the law. Other statistics were pres ented to show the extent of General . Carranza's control of more than half the territory and nine-tenths of the people and the progress of pacifca- ton in the wake of Carranza armiN,. Legal precedents to warrant the rec ognition of General Carranza are cited Precedents were found as far back as the recognition of Benito Juarez, who overthrow Maximilan.
 After an outline of Gen. Carran- za's qualifications the brief says he admits Mexico can scarcely prosper without the cooperation of the United States. and says that if recognized tho United States will find in him. An active, loyal friend"

Lane and other administration leaders particularly n touch with the Mexican situation, was today com pleting the draft of the Pan Am erican appeal to the factions m Mexico which will be presented to President Wilson before the third meeting of the con- ference is held in New York. Mean while the six Pan-American diplomats invited to confer with Secretary Lansing on the Mexican problem have submitted reports to their govern 1nents, replies to which probably will be received before the meeting in New York. 4-
 Discussion at that meeting will deal more particularly with the possible steps to be taken should the appeal to the Mexicans to end the civil war themselves fail of it's object.

FARMERS HARD HIT.
Thousands of Dollars Worth of Crops
 Ruincd by Rains This Week.

Hartford, Aug. 7.-Thousands of dollars worth of damage has been done to farmers within a radius Of fifteen miles of City hall by the ex- cessive rains of the week, according to reports made today. Corn, pota- toes and garden truck in general have suffered, and late hay crops have been ruined. There is danger of vegetables rotting in the ground and potatoes becoming afflicted with mildew
 The reports from the tobacco dis tricts are that the crop amounting in value to many hundreds of thousands of dollars has not been benefited by the rains but the direct damage is limited to those where the plants have been blown over and require bracing up. The tobacco raisers feel too thankful that none of the recent storms was accompanied by hail to make any complaint.

CELEBRATES l ]
 GERMAN VICTORY
Te Deum Sung By Crowd of Over
 100000 Persons

Munich, Friday, Aug. 6, Via. Berlin crowd of over 100000 persons, repre- senting all classes of society, as- sembled this evening on the historic Koenigsplatz of Munich, to celebrate the German victory at Warsaw and Ivangorod. .. >
 This gathering is being talked of to- night as the greatest in the history of the city. The manifestations of pa triotism were remarkable in them selves, but they were overshadowed by the evidences of a deep religious feeling on the part of the assembled multitude. During the celebration aeroplanes circled in the air over the koenigsplatz, and the hum of their motors could be heard above the sounds of thousands of voices.
 Crowd Offers Prayer.
 Every inch of the great square, from the Glyp to the Are Museum and from the Propylaen to the Arcistrasse, was filled with the great crowds. With barred heads the people stood in the light; of the setting sun and be- fore giving expression to the national. pride in the success of Germans in Poland, fervent prtyer went up to God. .
 The remarkable celebration began at 7:15 o'clock with the simultaneous ringing of all the church bells in Munich. For two hours previous to this time crowds of. people had been streaming from all directions to the Koenigsplatz, bedecked With flags for the occasion. At 7:30, to the accom- panyment of a military band which had taken up it's position on the pill Jared portico of the Art Museum, the crowds sang the Anbros:an Te Deum i'll constantly swelling volume. It was during this rendering that four aero- planes circled above the heads of the people, the whir of their motors join :ng in with the sound of the singing of the crowd. ..
 Lord Mayor Leads Singing.
 The Te Deum was followed by the singing of another choral Detach- Eents of police and firemen had been ordered to the square to preserve order, but their services were not needed. These men joined in the singing of the second anthem: Now Thank Ye, All, Our God,'' in which they were led by Herr Won Bursht, lord mayor of Munich.
 After this, the lord mayor in voice heard distinctly in all parts of the great square, made a shory patriotic address, closing with a call for three cheers for King Ludwig of Bavaria, Emperor William and Emperor Fran cis Joseph ..s4 s@ Sing ''HaiI to K1ng.'' T After this the assemblage. Joined in singing: Hail to the King the melody of (Which is the same as America Other patriotic songs were then rendered by the crowd.
 The religious note was maintained to the end, when several thousand persons, still bare. aded, sang the old hymn of thanksgiving 10 God.
 It was almost dark when the demon siration came to amend. After night tall every restaurant in the city was filled to overf1owing, and the streets were damned with people waving flags. f- This was the informal part of the celebration So far as the num- Der of participants was concerned, it exceeded the demonstrations follow ing the fall of Przemysl and Lemberg
