CARRANZA IN
POSSESSION OF
MEX|C CAPITAL
(By Associated Press.)

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 29.-This city
is today under control of General Ven
ustiano Carranza, whose forces march
ed into the capital, following the de-
parture of zapata forces late yester-
day afternoon. General Obregon, is
in command of the Carranza troops,
and general quiet prevails through
out the city. Little fighting preceded
the entry of Carranza troops, and
the energy with which disorders were
suppressed has apparently created gen
eral confidence in the ability of Gen.
Obregon to maintain discipline.
AS soon as the capital had been oc-
cupied Gen. Obregon issued stringent
orders closing all saloons in the city,
and every soldier detected under the
influence of liquor was Immediately
imprisoned. Civilians, too, we're com
PEELED to regard stringent regulations
relating to the possession of fire arms,
and fomenting disturbances. All the
banks and commercial houses of the
city have been furnished adequate mill
itary guards and will reopen at once
for the transaction of business.
Zapatas troops are reported this af-
ternoon as retreating southwark, and
they are expected to return to the
mountain Businesses where Emelio Ia
pata and his brother have for many
years carried on a career of brigand
age in defiance of the Diaz govern
ment as we'll as the Madero and more
recent administrations. A force Of
Carranza troops are trailing the Zap
atistas, but no engagement between the
opposing armies has as yet been re-
ported.
With today's occupation Mexico City
passes under the domination of Gen.
Carranza for the second time within
less than a year. Following the decis-
ion of the Aguas Calientes convention
to place civilian at the head Of the
provisional government in November
last, Gen. Carranza, accompanied by a
large army of followers evacuated the
capital and fed northward, where re-
cent victories have been attained by
troops fighting under the banner of
his faction. Francisco villa, once Car
ranza's -hief military aid and head OF
the constitutionalists armies now re-
mains the sole disturbing factor in
Mexican politics, and with the fleeing
Of Zapata, Villas army has been ma.
terially reduced, thus giving hope o.
an early end to the troubled conditions
so long prevailing in this country

SP|NNERS NEED
COTTON DESPITE
PRESENT PLIGHT

While cotton values show but slight
fluctuations this week, Americas ware
houses are still inclined to be optimis-
tics, and look for even higher prices
ere long. In the Americus market,
sales Of spot cotton have been confln-
ed to narrow deals quite recently, and
this for export, whence the demand
continues fairly good. The market to-
day underwent but slight change from
the spot quotations Of yesterday.
Many ships are loading at Savannah
this week, and much larger exports
are looked for shortly A prominent
New York authority says:
"At the moment cotton on Ship
board awaiting clearance is estimated
at over 100000 bales, as compared
with 225,0OO bales in 1914, and from
reliable sources it is further learned
that 200 vessels are either loading at
Southern ports or are under charter
to sail with cotton cargoes from Amer
ican ports before March /.
"At the present time, European
stocks are about 1,450,O00 bales, as
compared with 100000 bales last year
and 100000 bales in 1918. Conti-
mental stocks are down to $4,000 bales
as compared with well over a million
bales a year ago.
ut is well to take into consideration
in attempting to estimate further for
eign demand, that Germany has so far
taken only about $4,000 bales, since
August l, as against 1876, 900 bales in
the corresponding period last year,
while France has taken 140, 1000 bales,
as compared with 100000 bales. These
are gaps which, war or no war, must
be sooned or later filed.
There is no question that Europe
wants our cotton badly, and from the
fact that English and German spin
ners as well as the continental trade
are buying steadily it is quite evident
that prices, even though they have
advanced materially are acting as no
deterrent. Domestic trade conditions
continue to show improvement"

AUSTRIAN GOVERNMENT
TO CONF|SCATE GRAIN
(By Associated Press.)

VENICE, Jan. 29.-Vienna dispatches
early today say newspapers and the
city council of the Austrian capital
are demanding that the government
confiscate all grain, -four and meat
supplies in the dual monarchy imme-
diately
These dispatches apparently confirm
current reports of distressing condi-
tions through Hungary, where the sup
ply of bread has been reported as
practically exhausted, and in parts of
Austria, where the scarcity is said to
be increasing daily.
Tremendous supplies necessary to
support the huge army now at the
front and inability to raise even the
usual grain crops are said to be re-
sponsible for shortage of wheat AMI
other grains.

GENERAL VILLA IS
SERIOUSLY WOUNDED
(By Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 29.-An
unconfirmed report in Mexico City to-
day states General Francisco Villa has
been seriously wounded. This infor-
nation was communicated to the state
department by Consul Silliman, who is
at the Mexican capital.
Villa, one Of the most picturesque
figures in Mexican politics, and recog-
nized as an able military genius, re-
cent? left Mexico City, hurrying to
the north where Carranza troops were
pursuing victorious campaign. His
present whereabouts are not stated in
Consul Sillimans communication, but
he was last heard from in Sonora,
where he went for conference with
United States military authorities con-
cerning border disturbances.
How Villa received his alleged
wound is unknown. but in the absence
Of news concerning important mili=
tary clashes in Mexico, officials here
are inclined to believe an attempt has
been made to assassinate the doughty
warrior.

WILSON TO WAIT
TILL END OF YEAR
To- INCREASE TAX
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, d. C.,Jan. 29.--After
a conference between members of the
cabinet and congressional leaders at
the White House this morning it was
announced no immediate steps are to
be taken to meet threatened deficits
u the nations revenue. After canvass
ing the situation thoroughly those
responsible for the country's welfare
decided to wait until the end of the fis-
cal year before inaugurating steps to
relieve the situation.
President Wilson attended the con-
ference and assisted the others in ar
irving at a decision regarding their
preplexing problem. The end of the
year, it was decided, probably would
bring further developments in the Eu-
ropean war situation, and as this con-
dition is wholly responsible for such
greatly reduced import revenues, it
was deemed expedient to profit by such
developments as may occur between
now and June 30th.

BERLIN ENCOURAGED.
WITH AUSTRIAN NEWS
(By Associated Press.)

BERLIN, Jan. 29-Most encourag-
ing news, viewed from the German
standpoint comes from the Carpathian
region this afternoon, and fighting in
this area has resulted VIGOROUSLY for
German forces.
An Austrian army which recently un-
dertook to oust the Russians from nu-
merous strategic points in the noun
tain country, is reported to have sue
ceeded in forcing the enemy back at
several points, and to have occupied
strongly fortified positions, command
ing the road to Hungary, where large
Russian army was recently reported
os its way.
Freezing weather prevails in this
region and snow to depth of several
feet covers many sections. Frozen into
a solid mass this blanket of moisture
adds greatly to the hardships that
must be endured by the soldiery OF
both armies, but cheered on by con-
tinued victories, the German troops are
pushing forward as rapidly as the OBJ
stacles in their path will permit. The
Russians are presenting stubborn re-
sistance, clinging tenaciously to every
foot of soil and the nature of the
fighting is such as to greatly increase
fatalities in the ranks. Artillery can
not be used effectively in the noun
tain country, and infantry charges Of
ten develop into bayonet attacks before
the Russians can be routed out of their
partially sheltered positions.

HOUSE PASSES
FARMING BILL
$22, 100000 AGRICULTURAL BILL is
PASSED BY CONGRESS-S14s,OOO,-
600 NAVAL BILL NOW UP
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 29-Con-
gress continued the deliberation of ap-
preparations bills in both houses to-
day, the chief topic in the senate GEN.
tering about the agricultural meas
ure, which passed the lower house late
yesterday, and was taken up for con-
sideration in the upper house to-
day. Twenty-Five million dollars re-
present the total appropriations car
ried In various provisions of the house
measure, and numerous amendments
to be offered in the senate may in
crease this sum considerably. Senate
leaders have agreed to give the bill
right of way through the chamber and
a committee report on the measure will
be made without delay.
$14S,O0O,OOO For Navy.
In the house consideration of the
naval appropriations bill was the CEN
ter of interest. The naval affairs COM
mittee completed is labors yesterday
afternoon and reported a bill carrying
appropriations of hundred and forty
eight millions this morning. The ud-
ministration's two-battleship program
is embraced in the committee meas
ure, and it was stated this afternoon
a vigorous fight will be made on this
paragraph of the bill.
Advocates of an increased naval es-
tablishment, led by Representative
HobsOn, of Alabama, fought hard to
persuade the naval affairs COMMITTEES
IL include provision for four battle
ship its its report, but failed to at
tain their object, and this fight, in all
reliability, will be carried onto thu
floor of the house. Opponents of the
committee measure incline to the opin-
.cn thai the dreadnaught has already
lemons. lated its superiority over ev
cry other form of fighting craft, while
Its advocates, including Congressman
Underwood and other administration
leaders counsel delay. The lessons of
the European war are only half learn
Cd say these rep esentatives, and to in
vest huge sums in battleships, the
value of which are far from demon
stratei in recent encounters between
German and English squadrons would
be an unwise and unwarranted ex-
penditure of the public money.
