While it appeared today that the
Zapata forces still controlled the cap
ital, fighting was continuing in the
outskirts.
The political situation in Mexico, it
is generally believed, depends upon
the course of military operations.
Continued Zapata successes in resist
ing the entry of Carranza's troops
into the capital has deadlocked oper-
ations in the south, while in the vicin-
ity of Aguascalienes, Gen. Villa claims
to have retaken Lagos and defeated
Gen. Hill, who succeeded Obregon in
active command Of the Carranza fore
es. Carranza officials, however, de-
clare their troops are having contin-
uous successes.
Efforts to restore peace wait to
some extent upon the return here of
President Wilson, although the out
come of the military situation in the
next few weeks will have an impor-
tant bearing on the problem.

THE ALLIES AT METZ

TIME report that the French are
preparing to lay siege to Metz,
the great German fortress. is
significant of the changed aspect of
the fighting in Alsace-Lorraine. Only
a few months ago the Germans were
threatening to do to Verdun what they
did to Liege and other Belgian strong
holds. Verdun is thirty-seven miles
from Metz, to the West. and the
"nibbling' tactics of Joffre have
pushed back the invaders not only be-
yond gunfire OF Verdun, but have
brought the French to the very doors
of Metz
This does not mean, however, that
the great armed camp of the Kaiser
is in any immediate danger. The
fortress, like that of Verdun, is sur
rounded by heights affording admir-
able protection and commanding long
distances of approaching ground. In
the time of the French possession OF
Alsace-Lorraine it was supposed to be
the strongest fortified place on the
frontier. The Germans began tc

[From the Philadelphia Bulletin.1
Fifty years, with the passing of one
generation and the coming of another,
and the influx of millions from other
countries, naturally serve to lessen, in
some degree, that appreciation of Me-
mortal Day which was born of personal
contact with the events of the Civil War.
But the dedication OF this day to the
honor of the patriotic dead of the ma
tion was for all time, SO long as the
nation was saved shall last, and neither
the thinning of the ranks that fought
nor even the passing of the last of that
number should be permitted to lessen
in any degree the. sense. of obligation
or, better. of privilege of setting apart
one day in which to remember the men
who offered their lives in battle and
the principles of national life and duty
for which they were ready to die.
