STAR OF CARRANzA
IS IN ASCENDANT
prospects For His Recogni.
tlon Brighter Than Any
Time Past.
VILLA DENIES HIS CLAIMS.
says ne VIII Show First Chief
Who's Who i'm Parts of North
ern Mexico

Washington, Sept. 19.-Prospects
Tor the recognition of General Car
rama, it was admitted in official
quarters today, are much more IA
vorable than they have been at anv
time since the United States began
to exert its influence toward the es-
tablishment 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 recognitian
has led to the general belief here nv
officials that unless the military sit
uation in Mexico was much changed
in that period the recognition of the
Carranza movement is practically
certain.
The United States and the seyeraI
governments which have taken the
situation under advisement intend
however, to investigate carefully the
physical state of affairs in Mexico tn
learn whether the faction in military
supremacy give promise as well of
creating stable government.
To demonstrate in the meantime
that the Carranza movement does
not control the territory il claims in
Mexico will be the object of a dele
cation of Villa-Zapata followers ex-
pected to arrive here this week. They
will be heard by Secretary Lansing
as will separately the representatives
or CarranZa. To supplement their
argument here that the Carranza
movement should not be recognized
because of an alleged lack. OF moral
capacity. the Villa party is planning
an extensive guerilla warfare.
Enrique G. Llofente, Washington
representative of General villa, re-
turned from New York tonight and
expressed the confidence that within
three weeks there would be ample
proof OF the inability Of Carranza to
control the territory he claims. He
would not state what plans for the
guerilla campaign had been made,
hut ii is understood that General
villa. using chihuahua as a base,
viii send flying columns into various
parts OF the republic and by series
OF sensational dashes endeavor to
show the helplessness of Carranza.
There also will be renewal of ac-
tivity by the Zapata forces in the
south.
Mr.. Llorente secuted the idea that
any foreigners would be endangered
in Villa territory and was optimistic
in his expressions that the military
situation would soon show a decided
change that would compel the Pan
''erican conference to withhold
recognition from General Carranza.

tive Docket Should be Cleared
Before House Meets.
Washington Special to Columbia
State, Sept. 19.-Senator w. j.
stone OF Missouri, chairman of the
senate committee on foreign rela-
tions, came to Washington today pri-
marily to rent house for the COM
ing session of Congress and Incl
identally to confer with President
Wilson regarding a special session
OF the senate next month.
The senator believes the President
should convene the senate early in
October 30 that the executive docket
may be cleared before the house
meets. in December. He is chiefly
Interested In disposing of the pending
Colombian and Nicaraguan treaties
which remained on the executive cal
endar when Congress adjourned last
March.
when last saw the President he
agreed with me-" said the senator
that the senate should be called In
October II conditions then warranted
and so far as 1 know now there has
been no change in his attitude. How
ever, l can not speak for him. He
may have altered his opinion.
1T occurs to me, though, that it
would be good policy for the senate
to get to work two months in ad-
vance of the house so that we might
clear our executive docket and be
ready to take up the legislative pro-
gram on even terms with the house
when it meets.
There are three matters of i'm.
partance. to be taken up by the new
senate-the Colombian and Nicara-
guam treaties and the resolution
passed last session authorizing a re-
vision of the rules. chiefly the limit
ing of debate"
All three of these subjects, the
senator believes. will be as vigorously
opposed as they were in the last ses-
'on and he fears that If the senate is
not convened until December much
line will be lost at the outset that
f"uid be spent on legislative mat
ters.
the Colombian treaty provides TO-
:se payment of s25,00O,OOO to that
republic for the Panama canal zone
len over during the Roosevelt ad-
ministration. Colombia charges il
was Illegally deprived of this strip
" ithout compensation. Col. Roose-
Welt has contended otherwise and ex-
Hanged several spirited letters with
Senator Stone over the proposed
treaty which was fathered by For
mer Secretary of State Bryan.
The Nicaraguan treaty authorizes
lie payment of $3,0OO,OOO for the
exclusive use during a period of 80
years OF the available canal strip
through that country, also naval
5ases at Fonseca bay and Corn is
land. The purpose of this latter
..eaiy is TO prevent any other power
utilizing the Nicaraguan strip for
canal purposes.

RUSSIAN ARMY HEMMED
IN BY Won H|NDENbURG
Quarter of a Million Men
Encircled by TeutOnic
Forces.
SURRENDER OR DASH OUT?
1t May be That the Russians Can
Extricate Themselves, But the
situation is Not Favorable.


London, Sept. 2O.-The Russian
army menaced since the fall OF Viii
ma by the German encircling move
ment, is estimated variously at $780,
900 to 100000 men. The conditions
under which the Russians are at
tempting to extricate themselves fur
nish a striking parallel to those
which followed the capture of War
saw. They may precipitate one of
the greatest battles fought on the
eastern front.
Although no Official confirmation
had been received in London from
Perograd today Of the fall of wilma,
the British press has accepted the
German claim readily in view of the
situation that had been developing.
Concern is expressed for the retiring
Russian forces. So far as can he
Judged Field Marshal Won Hinden-
burg's troops have flung loop about
the Russians over a front of some
20 miles and are not only in their
rear but are menacing seriously the
single railway line and the few avail
able wagon roads stretching to the
south.
AS at Warsaw. the number of Rus
sian prisoners left behind with the
evacuation OF wilma was not great
Apparently the only way in which
the retiring forces may amehorato
the seemingly bad situation is by a
counter blow.
It Is pointed out that Won Hin
denburg's cavalry has penetrated SO
deeply into hostile country as to
create a salient open to sudden at
tack, IL the Russians should be able
to command reinforcements. at the
proper time and place. but 1t is not
believed here that they are in posi-
ton to deal such blow effectively.
There is much speculation as to
the German objective. Opinion is -di-
vided whether Won Hindenburg Will
seek merely to close his loop. thus
capturing the army within the net. or
Will press eastward toward MihsN
and from the west through Slonim
and again try for decisive victory.
Similar tactics attempted after the
fall of Warsaw met with failure.
The Russians are employing their
familiar rear guard tactics. and the
hope is expressed in the British press
that they will be able to fight thei'
way out without shattering losses.
Next to Warsaw, wilma is the most
important. town in western Russia
