NEW TARIFF BILLS PLANNED
Senator Penrose Would Protect "In-
FAINT Industries" Created by the
Great European War.

Philadelphia, Aug. 7.-Senator Boies
Penrose, in a speech at a dinner here
last might, announced that he would
introduce at the next session of Con-
gress a tariff bill that will contain re-
auctions of Is to 20 per cent on many
of the duties in the Payne-Aldrich
bill. The senator said:
For myself, 1 intend to introduce
at the opening of the next Congress a
tariff bill protective in its nature con-
tanning a horizontal reduction of Is or
20 per cent on many of the duties con-
tanned in the Payne bill, but re-en-
forcing some of the schedules, like the
chemical schedule, to secure these in
dustries in our country.
This bill will protect US from the
collapse which will occur on the close
of the war in Europe and will furnish
US money to prepare for the national
defense, should any nation of Europe
in arms desire to invade or assault
u.s."

large section OF the city.
The heavy precipitation caused
dams south of the city to burst, let
ting out food of water that filed the
main business streets to a depth Of
five feet and in some sections reached
to the second story windows OF dwell
ings.
The entire eastern section of the
city is cut off by the water, and what
conditions prevail in the center of this
district cannot be conjectured.
Wreckage is piled seventy feet high
in the heart of the city. The water re-
ceded somewhat later, but the esti-

ON NARROW GAUGE TRACKS
Railroads Used for Warfare in Europe
Have Equipment That Is Espe-
cialIy Built

Among the adaptations of devices
OF domestic convenience TO the re-
quirements OF modern warfare is the
employment Of narrow gauge rail-
ways in the supply of trenches On
the battle lines at the front In Eus
rope More than 100 such trains, Il
is reported, are now in construction
at works in Pennsylvania
These trains, as described, viii run
upon a track two feet in width, in

the resources of the trench fighters

zAPATA MEN INSULT DUB FLAG
An American Consulate Clerk Reports
His Arrest and Assault by
Mexican Soldiers.

The City of Mexico, Aug. 5--Allan
Mallory, the young American who was
assaulted, robbed and subjected to
other indignities by Zapata followers
near San Martin, Mexico, while carry
ing diplomatic correspondence be-
tween Puebla and the City of Mexico,
July p, made a statement regarding
the affair on his arrival here today
Mallory said the Zapata soldiers tore
an American flag from his motor car
and ripped it into shreds. Later, he
said, when he was taken before Cen
eral Zapata, the latter broke the
American consular seal on the CORE
spondence he was carrying, examined
the mail and refused TO return it to
him.
81 left Puebla in my motor car last
Thursday morning" Mallory said,
carrying official mail for the Brazilian
legation in the City of Mexico which
| can Consul Jenkins. With me were
Carlos Batres, son of the Chilean min
lister to Mexico; A. Gallopin, a Swiss
citizen; Riverol Coloca, a Spanish sub
ject, and my mechanic, a Mexican.
Soon after we entered San Martin the
| Carranzistas fed from the town and
| Zapatistas entered, shooting in all di-
rections.
1.-The Zapata soldiers went up to
my motor car, tore the American flag
from the hood and ripped it into
shreds with their teeth. Then they
broke open all the packages in the
car. 1 told them was carrying Off
cia1 mail from the President of the
United States. They tore up my pass
| port and credentials, tore my coat off
and demanded my money. They took
from me about $4,000 in Mexican cur
rency. The soldiers started to open
| the correspondence, but gave it back
when 1 warned them what it was.
! Then about a dozen soldiers, in
GLIDING the colonel, piled into my mo-
tor car, demanding that 1 drive them
| to HuejotZingo to Zapata. The sol
diers took GalIopin and Batres to a
church, where I found them later,
Batres having been robbed and badly
| beaten. They tied a rope around Co.
Locals arm and mounted Zapatista
dragged him through the sand and
|
times in the course of the trip the
colonel struck me with his revolver
and threatened to kill me.
I was taken to the plaza at Huejot-
lingo and taken before General Ia
pata. l told him who l was and he de-
manded the correspondence Zapata
tore open the mail, examined it and
tossed it aside. Finally he had an
officer give me a passport and permit
ted me to leave, but he refused to re-
turn the mail Coloca was ordered
away to be shot"
Mallory said he returned to San
Martin and found Gallopin and Batres
and next day the three started for the
capital, arriving here this morning.

RUSSIANS HOLD /
FORT ON VISTULA
Garrison Left at N0VogeorieVsk
Will Hamper the Austro-
German Advance.
CAN DEFEND 1T FOR MONTHS
Retiring Russian Armies Destroy
Advance North and South.

London, Aug. with the exception
of the great intrenched camp of
Novogeorgievsk the Russians have
evacuated the whole line of the Wis
tula river. Ivangorod, the southern
fortress. having fallen into the hands
of the Austro-German army, the Rus
SLAMS now are making their way east
ward to the Brest-Litovsk line
The decision of the general staff to
leave the garrison in Novogeorgievsk
is announced in Petrograd dispatches.
The object is to deprive the Germans
of the use of railway communications
and of the vistuIa river for bringing
up supplies for their armies.
Can Hold it Months.
NOvogeorgievsk is a; the junction
of the Vistula, Narew and Wkra
rivers. to the northwest of Warsaw.
1t has two powerful bridgeheads,
eight citadels and seventy-four re-
doubts containing IL and Pinch bat
teries. 1t is calculated by military
observers here that an army corps can
hold out there many months, as the
camp is protected by massive earth
works, which doubtless have been en-
larged and improved since the Rus
slams were compelled to begin their
retirement
The laying of the siege of Novogeor
gievsk may prove one Of the most
interesting operations OF the war, as
it doubtless will show whether earth
works are less susceptible to the fire
of high explosives than are cupoIa
forts.
Strew Paths as They Retreat.
Of the retiring Russian armies the
official reports say nothing The Rus
SLAMS, however, destroyed bridges
across the Vistula and took other
means to place obstacles in the path
of their pursuers, while others Of their
forces continue to offer stubborn re-
sistance to the Germans and Aus
TRANS south and north who are try
ing to forge a ring around them.
The general opinion here is that the
Russians commenced their retirement
in time to escape this inner ring, but
they have yet to reckon with the
wider outflank1ng movement from
Lomza, which, if successful, would
turn the Brest-Litovsk line

MEXICO MUST ACT
Warning Factions are to Get
One More Opportunity
to Restore Order.
PAH-AMERICAN BODY DECIDES
Carranza and Others VIII be Given
Final Warning by Republics
Now Acting Together.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Armed fac
tons in Mexico are to be given one
more opportunity to say whether they
are ready to make an honest effort
among themselves 20 compose their
differences.
A message expressing the concerted
demand OF North and South America
that there shall be peace and restora-
ton of constitutional government, ad-
dressed to all the Mexican political
and military leaders, probably will be
dispatched within few days as one
OF the first results of a conference at
the State Department today in which
the six ranking diplomats of the Pan
American legation corps participated
with Secretary Lansing at the invita-
ton OF President Wilson.
Aimed at carranza.
While the appeal will be made to
all the Mexican leaders, it will be in
tended especially for General Car
rama and his followers, who are op-
posed to another peace convention
1t was disclosed that President VIII
son has been in correspondence with
nations, who have urged that the
United States take the lead in
strong position toward Mexico, and in
this informal way have pledged their
support to a Pan-American concert OF
action.
Today's conference was given over
almost entirely to hearing a report OF
conditions by Paul Fuller, ST., of New
York, who spent several months in
Mexico as President Wilson's person
al representative. 1t was understood
the ground work was laid for further
action tomorrow when the conference
will be resumed which will constitute
the first of a succession of moves to
end three years of revolution and
chaos.
Hope Yet to Avoid Action.
No action was agreed upon today,
and it was understood that armed
Intervention was not mentioned
Plainly it was the intention of the
conference to exhaust peaceful means
to bring the Mexican factions togeth-
er following closely what has been the
administration policy from the first,
and to make it clear to the world that
there is no object other than the
preservation of the sovereignty of
Mexico and to save the distracted
country from itself.
