BRYAN SURPRISED
 AT PRESIDENT
Does Not Believe He Should Follow in Footsteps of Roosevelt in
 Quoting the Scriptures.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. H. William Jennings Bryan in a state ment issued yesterday says that Pres ident Wilson's recent biblical quota tion was first used in modern times in the United States by Col. Roose- welt.
 Col. Bryan says he is not surprised that Roosevelt should consult the old testament rather than the new, because he classes Christ with the mollycoddles. But why President Wilson, who is an elder in the Pres byterian church, should pass over the new gospel in which love of Christ is the cornerstone and build his defense upon a passage in the old testament written at a time when the children of Israel were surrounded by ene- mics, is mystery.
 Bryan says it is all right for Col. Roosevelt to sound the trumpet, be- cause all colors are red to him and that he sees armies marching upon the United States from every direc- tion, but that President Wilson is a man of peace and he is in a position to know that no nation is threaten ing to attack the United States.

ANCONA'e CAPTAIN
 FULLY WARNED
ty of Time for Crew and Pas- sengers to Take to Boats.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-The British consul at Bizerta, Tunis, where the survivors of the Italian steamer An coma which was submarined in the Mediterranean sea were landed, has cabled the British government that the submarine chased the Ancona, and that when the captain failed to stop when ordered, the submarine shelled the steamer. The first shot carried away the pilot house and caused the steamer to stop.
 It is stated that the commander of the submarine permitted the officers of the Ancona plenty of time to get their passengers and crew into the lifeboats but that owing to the crew and passengers being panic stricken the life boats were swamped.
 Members of the crew are reported to have denied the women and chil- dren first right to enter the boats. which is believed to account for the fact that none of the American pas sengers were saved with the excep- tion of one woman, who is herself the Italian wife of an American citi- zen.

 Army Is Headed.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. H. Admiral Winslow, commanding the United States cruisers in Mexican waters in the Pacific, has wired Sec retary Daniels that the CarranZa forces have captured the city of Her mosillo, the Lower California city, for which General Villas forces are headed.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. H. The American steamship Zealandia was forcibly searched by party of officers from British cruiser while the steamer was lying at Port Pro- gresso, Mexico The British were searching for munitions of war which 1A was believed were on the Zealan- dia.
